Chapter 11

Gray was currently walking in the corridors of the Domus Flau, carrying food and drinks to comfortably watch his date last night. It was one of the things that changed in the course of those five months after Lucy's ascension in the ranks of the S-Class. Her being with Laxus eliminated all chances of having a relationship with her and that he realized that he has to move on and there will always be someone who will readily accept him wholeheartedly and that would be Juvia.

It was hard work in the beginning, tuning down her exaggerated antics of proclaiming her undying love for him was a pain but with patience, it gradually paid off. He could only sigh in gratitude to whoever was watching him in the high heavens.

"Hello there, Frost." A man in a cloak approached him just before he could see the exit.

"What do you want?" He stopped from his tracks so as to avoid his prized food and drinks from spilling. What? A man gotta eat what he has to eat.

"You know, Lucy didn't return your feelings even if she already knew of them. Isn't she such a bitch?" That voice. He knew who that person was. His heart made a somersault at the realization that he could finally avenge Lucy for what this bastard did to her.

"Mnemosyne." He said through gritted teeth. He was seething. Just the mention of his name from his lips, disgusts him to no end. The food and drinks he so admired was now on the cold, hard concrete floor of the building.

"My, my, my…My title really does lives up to its name. Mnemosyne, Titaness of Memory. Screw those people who gave me that pathetic nickname." He said, chuckling to himself as if planning on murdering the source of his epithet. "Yours was much too beautiful."

"It wasn't me who made that. Besides, it doesn't even actually matter to me. There's no merit that can be gained from it." Gray casually replied as he put on his battle stance, smirking.

"Aren't we a little bit too fired up? Unfortunately, I don't plan on wasting my time in you but I'd give you this, my real name is Sael."

"And how on Earthland does your puny name concern me?" Gray taunted him.

"So that you'll know who to curse once you realize that you've killed Lucy Heartfilia with your own hands."

"Bastard! Ice-Make: Hammer!" Gray bellowed in anger and produced a hammer made of ice above Sael and visibly hit him. The impact sent dust and smoke into the area but when it cleared, there was nothing there except a voice that echoed in the ears of the raven-haired man that said,

"Who are we going to kill?" The voice laughed maniacally.

"Lucy Heartfilia." Gray raised his head and turned to exit the building to find his victim.


'Where is Gray-sama? I've trained so hard just to impress him." Juvia, despite being in the middle of the arena where many people could see her, was obviously agitated. She was looking in every possible angle known to man in the crowd in search for her one true love but he was nowhere to be found. This was supposed to be her moment of glory when she, Juvia Lockser, 20 years of age, will triumph over her love rivals, especially Lucy Heartfilia and gain the heart of Gray Fullbuster.

"Well, well, the battlefield is ours again. It must be love." Chelia snapped her out of her worry using her useless rants about random things being 'love'.

"Juvia won't lose to the likes of you. Juvia has more love!" Acting tough in front of her number…what number was Chelia in her rival list again? She lost track of that after Lucy, who, speaking of which was also not around. She took another sweep of her surroundings and after that, it was confirmed.

'One, Gray-sama is not here. Two, Lucy-san is not here. Three, since Gray-sama and Lucy-san were both gone, I therefore conclude that Gray-sama and Lucy-san are together.' Thoughts that involve a single bed, scattered clothes, pressed naked bodies, lip locking, ragged breaths and a lot of moaning run rampart in her brains.

'Bad, Juvia. Lucy-san is with Laxus-san now. She wouldn't do that.'

'Love rival is taking Gray-sama!'

'Juvia is a bad girl for thinking about that for her fellow guild mate.'

'No, love rival is only waiting for a chance to snatch my Gray-sama!'

'No, Lucy-san is getting married to Laxus-san. They said so themselves.'

'But they're both gone and Laxus-san was still here.' And that struck a nerve. Suspicion won.

"Uh, it seems that Juvia of Fairy Tail B is making some weird noises again-kabo." Mato sweat-dropped as he announced that in his microphone.

"Uhhh, Juvia are you ready?" Chelia, who was also being weirded out by Juvia's face, was getting confused. One moment, her opponent was beaming a smile, then all of a sudden it looks like she's going to cry, then the next one, it seems that she'll murder someone. What's with this girl? Fairy Tail really does have the weirdest mages.

"Love rival will pay!" If it isn't for the fact that they live in a magical world, Chelia would swear that having a flaming background while spouting some threats to love rivals is really, well…weird.

'Wait a minute! Juvia's Magic is water-based, not fire-based. Did she learn a new form of Magic?' The God Slayer doesn't know and probably doesn't really want to know the reason behind the flaming background.

"Uhm, Juvia-san? I noticed that Gray-san isn't here. Where is he?" And that struck another nerve inside Juvia's head.

"LOVE RIVAL!" Chelia just gulped as her opponent transformed into a large mass of water. Guess, Juvia didn't actually learned Fire Magic.

Three seconds later, Juvia won. While all of Fairy Tail Guild was cheering in their seats, the audience, especially Lamia Scale Guild jaw-dropped but worst of them all was the state Juvia of the Great Sea was in. It seems like the very life energy was sucked dry from her. She was staring blankly at the big, blue, wide horizon humans called sky, muttering how she has a long way to go to beat Lucy Heartfilia.


Lucy was in the middle of running an errand for the Master. Just as she was about to take her seat, Makarov approached her and asked her to fetch Porlyusica because the old woman has many things to bring like medicines, gauzes and other medical supplies. With respect to her future grandfather-in-law, she complied. Of course, Laxus, gentleman and overprotective fiancé, intervened, saying that he'll help. Appreciating his initiative, Lucy politely dismissed the idea, saying that his teammate, Juvia will be participating and a Celestial Spirit Mage can always call for her trusted Spirits. Laxus worriedly and hesitantly complied. So here she was, walking the streets of Crocus towards Honey Bone.

"Lucy…" A familiar voice said. She turned her head back and saw her teammate.

"Oh, Gray, what are you doing here?"

"To kill you."


A/N: Hello, dear readers! I am sorry if it took so long for me to update but finally I did. I'm also sorry if I don't make that much of LaLu scenes. I just really want to try and write other characters' perspectives especially Juvia and Gray before I bring out the big guns and by that, I mean give another drama involving our two blondes. They're both quite fun to write since they have this 'feelings' issues. Gray probably has a crush on Lucy since Gemini said something along those lines and Juvia, well you get my point. Thanks and please do leave reviews. :D
