Hello :D How are you doing? I updated quiet quickly this chapter, don't you think? xixi I feel dizzy because of the tons of homework I have to do about my exam period (I am a drama queen I admit it ;P) . But I will get to the point: I publish this chapter but I will probably not be able to write another chap until the end of the exams. So I ask your patience and I promise you that the continuation of the story will be very thrilling (and maybe cheesy, we'll see). I have some surprises and events left in store ;) Give me some love with your reviews. I really need you to make my day my fellow nakamas :D And now I will let you read my chappie :D Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail (I wish I did :P)
"Are you sure about this?" Gajeel said looking straight at Juvia.
"Yes, Juvia is pretty sure Gajeel-kun. Take Gray-sama to Wendy-chan please. "
"I'll be back in a second. He is gonna be pretty pissed when he wakes up." Gajeel said and disappeared with Gray into his arms.
"At least he will be alive." Juvia murmured to herself and turned to face her dragon.
In no time Gajeel returned to his position next to Juvia. He witnessed his best friend trying to win the dragon, but he knew that she was nearly the limits of exhaustion. They had to do something quickly if they wanted to win that dragon. There is something…
"Juvia you are the water dragon slayer!" Gajeel screamed enthusiastically.
"We know that already Gajeel-kun."
"Use your dragon slayer magic to defeat her you idiot." He sighed and looked Juvia as if it was the only normal thing to do.
"But I am not trained. Juvia doesn't know what to do."
"You've seen me countless times training Juvia. You should know how to cast the dragon roar at least."
"Juvia will try." She said eagerly and her eyes glowed with excitement. She concentrated so as to remember the exact movements that she had to perform and turned to her mother, who was currently trying to heal her wounds. She felt her aura change and the water cover her whole body making her feeling as light as a feather. She felt her magical energy return to her body as if she had full recovered from her wounds. So that's the true strength of a dragon slayer, she thought and smiled to herself. She extended her arms and placed her fists in front of her delicate mouth as if she was ready to play the flute.
"Roar of the water dragon!" she yelled and she saw a huge water wave leaving her mouth and hitting the dragon's head with ferocious energy and power. The dragon moaned in pain and started to tremble from the exhaustion.
"Let's do this together Gajeel-kun!" Juvia proposed and he accepted immediately.
"Let's kick the shit out of this thing sis." They stood next to each other and performed the attack once again.
"Roar of the…"
"…Water Dragon!"
"…Iron Dragon!" they yelled in unison and released their fused roar towards Aquamarina. The dragon surprised by the immediate attack didn't have the time to respond and got hit pretty hard by the tremendous roar. The two mages very exhausted and leaning towards each other for support watched the majestic dragon collapse onto the hard, cold ground. But the dragon, still being under Jose's control didn't want to give up. She opened her wounded wings and prepared herself to fly again when an illustrious light started gleaming from the skies. The golden light fell upon the battlefield and blinded every creature that was into the limits of the area. Gajeel and Juvia covered their eyes from the dazzling light and felt their skin tingle. They tried to understand what was happening and saw their guild marks glowing.
"Hm, so that's Fairy Law." Gajeel said smiling.
"It seems to be so." Juvia agreed.
When the light disappeared, Juvia saw the wounded dragon falling once again onto the ground. But this time the dragon had lost its senses and its eyes were closed shut. They had actually won and prevented their enemies from destroying the world. The battle was over and the dragon was defeated. Juvia turned her head smiling and witnessed with watery eyes her nakamas approaching her. Without thinking twice she ran towards them with her extended arms ready to hug her family again. Mirajane and Cana were the first who embraced Juvia with tears in their eyes.
"Juvia is so happy to see you again, Mira-chan and Cana-chan!" She said between her sobs.
"We have missed you so much Juvia! We were very worried about you!" Cana responded without being able to restrain her tears.
"You should have told us about the whole situation you faced. We would have helped you…" Cana tried to say but Mirajane intervened.
"There is no need to discuss that now. The important thing is that Juvia is fine and alive. That is all that matters." She said reassuringly.
"You are right Mira. But don't do that to us ever again, ok?"
"Juvia promises." Juvia giggled with her friends' reactions.
"I am so glad you are alright Juvia." Master Makarov said with a wide grin onto his face.
"Is it over Master?" she asked and she pointed to the dragon that was supposed to be her biological mother.
"Yes Juvia. It's over." He answered calmly and Juvia smiled widely.
After hugging, greeting and thanking every member of the guild that had come to rescue her, she run towards the makeshift infirmary where Wendy was treating Gray's wounds. She saw him resting onto a large wooden stool that Laki had made and Wendy healing his wounds. When they glanced into each other eyes, Juvia coughed without being able to say a single word. Silence was the only answer she needed because the feelings that they shared were obvious due to their eye connection. She approached him hesitantly and forced herself to speak. She needed to hear his voice again. She needed to be sure that he wasn't mad at her.
"How are you feeling Gray-sama?" she gulped. Instead of speaking, Gray stood up and hugged her with all his strength. He inhaled her ocean-like scent, caressed her silky soft blue hair and felt the warmth of her skin onto his. During his healing, Gray thought that he might never see her again and now that he had her into his arms he felt like he was in heaven.
"I am pretty mad. I am very angry with you." He finally said calmly while sniffing Juvia's hair.
"Ano, Juvia didn't want to get you upset, Gray-sama. She just wanted you to be safe and all. Ano…" Juvia trembled into his arms and he smiled with her shyness.
"I don't know if I can forgive you. You should have let me fight with you till the end." he saw Cana watching him with from afar and smiled at her viciously.
"Please, Gray-sama. Forgive Juvia. Juvia would do anything for you…"
"Well I have thought of something that you can do so as to redeem yourself." He smiled victoriously. His plan was working perfectly.
"Juvia will do anything for her Gray-sama. What is it that you want Gray-sama?" she asked eager to please her loved one.
Without saying a word, Gray put his hand below her chin and raised her face at the same height as his. He witnessed her cheeks blush a light pink and her eyes glow with excitement as he approached her lips with his own. Before touching her trembling lips, Gray heard a scream. Everything happened in a matter of seconds. Jose, who had clearly lost his mind because of his defeat, ran towards Gray holding the knife that he had used on Juvia.
"I will kill you bastard for messing up with my plans!" he screamed to a dumbfounded Gray with the crazy look in his eyes making him scarier than before. Without thinking twice, Juvia turned Gray the other way around and took the blow for him. She felt the cold metal penetrate her flesh and pierce her fast-beating heart. Gajeel ran and punched Jose knocking him out. When he was sure that he wouldn't get up again, he ran to where Juvia was.
Gray was holding Juvia into his arms and he felt hot tears form into his onyx eyes.
"Wendy hurry up!" he yelled and Wendy appeared by their side. "Heal her fast!" he pleaded as he saw Juvia's skin become pale and her eyes hollow from any sign of life. Wendy put her hands over Juvia and tried to heal the wound but she couldn't. She tried again and again but the blood didn't seem to stop flowing out of the wound. Juvia gasped for air and her skin became even paler than before.
"I can't heal her! I don't know why but I cannot heal her!"
"What do you mean Wendy?" Gray dreaded the answer that he was about to hear. Before Wendy could answer, Juvia tried to speak instead.
"It's ok Gray-sama. At least you are safe." She spited a little blood onto his bare chest but he didn't care.
"NO, JUVIA! DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME! I WON'T LET YOU DIE!"
She used all the strength she had left and lifted her hand. She caressed Gray's cheek and he caught her hand into his own.
"I just want you to know that I love you so much…" she confessed her voice nearly a whisper.
"Please Juvia. Stay with me." He couldn't restrain his tears anymore. "Don't leave me alone."
"You are not alone Gray-sama. You have your family, Fairy Tail. And I will watch you from the sky and guide your path with love." She forced herself to smile but she just ended up to grimace because of the pain she felt. "I will always be next to you even if you won't be able to see me."
"You don't understand. I – I… I mean, I-"
"Good bye Gray-sama. Goodbye my brother Gajeel-kun. Good bye my friends. Fare well." She said and her heart stopped beating. Her eyes were empty of life, her body cold as ice and her skin pale as a sheet. Gray released her hand and it fell lifelessly onto her bloody chest. He couldn't bottle up his feelings anymore and he left himself crying as he was hugging Juvia's dead body.
I am such a monster for killing Juvia, I know (mentally punch myself)! And the worst part is that I do not know if I will revive her or not. I let the story guide me and since I haven't written the next chap I really don't know what'll happen. You are free to hate me (please don't hate me too much :S) As I previously said, you will have to wait since the 7th of July for the next chap (That's when I will finish my exams) . But I promise that it will be a long chapter for you to enjoy. Thank you again for your support and your beautifully written reviews. R&R this chap as well :D Kisses :)
