School's starting. I'm not sure if I could update every week. Fingers-crossed that I could. XD

Gray's P.O.V.

We turned around looking for the source of the voice. I looked left and right but saw nothing. I looked at Lucy giving her a confused look. She shrugged her shoulders while moving her head back and forth. I tried to look forward again but to no avail. I even squinted my eyes to make sure that I didn't miss any detail. I ignored it and headed for the huge mansion. Lucy slowly followed looking behind slightly. Suddenly, I felt someone tug the lower part of my shirt. I turned around again but didn't find who was tugging my shirt. I was sure it wasn't Lucy. She usually tugged my shirt's sleeves. Again, I felt a force tug my shirt but it didn't let go. That was when I noticed that the source of the pulling was coming from downward. I looked down and saw a short man. His height was the same as Ichiya's but he looked way, I mean WAY, better than him. He looked about 25 years old of age. He had a green moss hair and a pair of dark brown eyes. His skin color was the shade of dark brown. He was even wearing a fancy white tuxedo.

"Excuse me." He said while taking a step back from me while removing his hands off of my shirt.

"Oi, Lucy! I found the man." I shouted to her still not tearing my stare off the man.

"Really? Where?" I heard her footsteps from behind. Then, she stood beside me still looking for the man.

"Gray, you're kidding me!" She glared at me.

"Over here!" The man was jumping up and down while waving his hands in front of Lucy.

"Oh. Sorry." Lucy shyly said.

"It's quite alright. I'm used to it." The man stated looking a bit hurt.

"What do you need?" I asked him. We were kind of in a hurry. We should've been in the mansion few minutes ago. I tapped my food swiftly. I crossed my hands over my chest hoping that he would get the idea that we were in a hurry.

"Ah. How rude of me. I'm Toshi Takaki." He said with gentleness but I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I could also hear Lucy trying to cover up her laughter.

"Do you know the meaning of your name?" I said still laughing my heart out.

"Yes. I was certainly aware of what my name means. Toshi means mirror image while Takaki means tall tree. But as you can see I mirrored the tree but not its tallness." I could hear the bitterness in his voice. I tried to stop myself from laughing but I couldn't help it. He should be a mirror image of a tall tree. What happened to the tall part? I laughed louder.

"GRAY!" Lucy shouted at me hiding a grin on her face. I stopped from laughing. I looked seriously at the man eyeing him from head to toe. Then, I broke out into laughter again.

"Gray!" This time Lucy punched me on the arm stopping me from laughing.

"Hey! What was that for?" I glared at her.

"Sorry, Takaki-san." She said looking at Takaki.

"It's alright. Again, I'm used to it. You must be Gray Lucy." Takaki pointed out. I gave him nod.

"Welcome Gray and Lucy! I'm going to be your Director/Host in this 100th anniversary of Sorcerer. Follow me and I'll give you a tour of the mansion. The others are already there. They've been waiting for the famous Fairy Tail guild members." He walked pass by us heading to the mansion. Lucy and I followed patiently behind him. He led us to the landscape while stating random facts about the mansion. It wasn't that interesting for me but I bet Lucy found it very amusing. We passed over the bridge to the beautiful landscape. Momentarily, we were at the front of the huge door. Takaki looked to his right then to his left as if suspecting someone to spy on us. Once he was sure that we were safe from any spies, he pushed the door open. The door opened slowly. Light was patiently escaping the room. Then, the light showered over us making it hard to see what was inside. I blinked few times to fixate my vision. My eyesight was coming back to me but it was still blurry. I narrowed my eyes to see the inside of the mansion. I was amazed at the sight in front of me. Everything in it was elegant. The first thing that caught my attention was the swirly staircase on the left side of the mansion. It was so eye-catching. There was also an elegant furniture, meters away from the staircase. Facing the furniture was a fireplace. Walk pass by the staircase, you'd find two rooms beside each other. The first room had a sign with a drawing of an arcade machine and below it were the words game room. The room next to it was a music room. If you walked further, you'd find the dining room and the kitchen. Takaki showed us the backyard next which had a pool in it. Then, we went to the second floor. It was full of rooms. There was a sports room, dancing room, movie theatre, master's bedroom, guest's room and a couple more. I saw that our room was located on the left side of the mansion in between the room of Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus. How did I know? There was a huge logo on top of the doors. But does that mean…

"You'll be staying together in one room. Don't worry the bed is huge. There's your room." Takaki pointed to our room. I guessed right. We would be staying in one bedroom. No big deal. I already slept with Lucy in Galuna Island and few times in her house.

"WHAT?" Lucy shouted.

"Is there something wrong, Lucy?" Takaki kindly asked.

"B-but… He… Me… Uhh.. Nothing." Lucy sighed in defeat.

"Great. Now put your pieces of luggage in your bedroom. And here are your keys. Don't ever lose them." Takaki gave us each one golden key with Fairy Tail's logo on it. I put the key in my pocket. Lucy gave me a weird look. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Don't you think you'll lose it if you put it in your pocket? You always lose your clothes." She put her hands on her hip.

"Ah. What am I supposed to do?" I asked her.

"I've noticed that you never lose your necklace. We'll put it there." She walked closer to me standing just by my front. Then, she took hold of my necklace and examined the sword closely. Unexpectedly, she wrapped her arms around my neck trying to unhook my necklace. Drawing my body closer to her, I felt my heart go wild. I was afraid that she'd notice it so I put my hands on her waist gently pushing her away. She took a step back looking at me with worried eyes. Her hands rest down my shoulders while my hands still held her by the waist.

"I… Uh… I'm an ice mage I could just create another one." I told her quickly. That was most honest excuse I've ever made.

"Oh." She made no move to push me. She just gazed at me with those beautiful eyes of hers. I was hastily captivated by them.

"I guess we should head to our room now." I slowly stated looking at her passionately. I wrapped my hands tighter around her waist.

"I guess we should." She took a step forward and encircled her hands around my neck. Both of us trapped in each other gazes, neither of us dared enough to move. I leaned closer to her face just about to kiss her lips.

"GRAY! LUCY! YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES! WE'RE WEARING CASUAL!" Takaki shouted from below. We quickly let go of each other. I walked to the door as if nothing happened. Good thing Takaki called us, I couldn't risk our friendship to be shattered by some mere stupid mistake I've made. I opened the door making way for Lucy. She went inside the room, followed by me. The room was elegant. There was a huge chandelier on the ceiling, a makeup table, a big king size bed, a furniture and T.V. set, and a bathroom with jacuzzi and everything. The walls were painted cream and the light from outside made the room more amazing. I set my luggage down beside Lucy's luggage. Lucy was already rummaging through the stuffs. I watched her in amusement. She was like a kid in a candy store. I smiled goofily at her. As if feeling my gaze, she faced me with her hands on her hips.

"What?" She tilted her head. She walked towards me while pouting cutely. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Nothing. Let's head downstairs. Everybody's waiting for us." We patiently made our way downstairs. She still kept on insisting me why was I smiling and laughing at her. I kept my mouth shout the whole time. I gave her my I-know-something-you-don't look. She got more frustrated. Unexpectedly, I remembered our little moment together. She didn't push me or yell at me. I got curious.

"Lucy, about our little moment a while ago-" Lucy didn't get me to finish. She started talking quickly.

"Ah. Forget about it. The moment's atmosphere and ambiance just got to us." She avoided my gaze.

"Yeah." So, that was it. It was all because of the moment. I walked a little bit slower than her feeling quite hurt with what she said. I looked anywhere else but her. Our rest walk to the dining room was filled with silence. I snapped my head up noticing that I was almost there. I found that Lucy was already in the dining room. But I noticed that she stopped dead on her tracks. I quickened up my pace and stood beside her only to stop when I found out who were there. I felt my body went rigid. I clenched my hands into a fist strongly suppressing my anger.

"Sh*t." I cursed under my breath.
