A/N: Hello guys! It's been a long time since I've updated huh? Over a month, for sure! I am sorry that I have you waited so long but I had a pretty rough exam period and I was very exhausted! But thankfully now this is over and I will continue my story! And to show you my gratitude for your support, I will update another chapter possibly tomorrow :D Now, I said enough I will let you enjoy the chapter :D Disclaimer: If I owned Fairy Tail, I would have already made Gruvia canon but Hiro Mashima doesn't seem to wanna do me the favor :P XD Enjoy!


Gajeel felt his anger consume him. How the fuck did he let this happen? He should have seen that coming! He knew that Jose didn't give up easily, he didn't care for anything, he just wanted to achieve his goals no matter the cost. He let Gray hugging tightly Juvia's lifeless body and run towards the nearly conscious Jose. He grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and started punching him menacingly letting all his anger and frustration flowing through his iron fists.

"You fucking bastard!" he yelled into his face between his punches.

"How the hell did you that to Juvia? After all the things you did to her you had to finish her off, didn't you?" he punched him to the guts and Jose spilled blood onto the floor.

"I am gonna kill you motherfucker! And I will really enjoy it!" he continued punching all over his body not caring if he would eventually kill him or not.

Before giving the final blow, Gajeel felt two small and fragile hands hugging his waist and restraining him from his next move.

"No, Gajeel please don't do it! He doesn't deserve it!" Levy was tagged onto his back hugging him fiercely. "Juvia wouldn't want that." She said between her sobs and she left her tears fall onto Gajeel's hair. Gajeel felt his anger slowly disappear and get replaced with sorrow and grief. He didn't want to hurt more the girl he already had hurt a lot before. He stood up and turned his body to fully hug Levy. Just before he would let go and return next to Juvia's side, he heard Jose laughing viciously. "At least I got my revenge on that bitch." He said spilling more blood onto the floor. Before Gajeel could react and kill him, he saw two furious women attacking Jose. With their punches, they threw Jose unconscious and he finally shut up.

"The bastard deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail." Cana said while Mirajane was already sobbing.


Everyone was crying into the makeshift infirmary. After securing the prisoners, all the members of Fairy Tail gathered around Gray who was still hugging Juvia's body. Even if everyone was crying, Gray felt like he didn't have any other tears to spill. He was crying for the past hours and now he felt like an empty vessel with no life in it. He looked down to Juvia's body and got caught into her lifeless eyes. He couldn't tear away his onyx eyes from her foggy blue orbs. He concentrated all the strength he had left and lifted his hand so as to close Juvia's eyes. Mirajane approached him and placed her warm hand onto his bloody shoulder. "Gray, maybe you should let Juvia onto…" she tried to say, but Gray didn't let her.

"Don't even try taking Juvia away from me. None of you." He hissed and looked at her into her eyes, his onyx pair of orbs having a fire that was pretty familiar, the fire of hatred. Hatred for Jose for killing Juvia, hatred for Juvia who threw herself in front of him to save him, hatred for himself who wasn't capable once more to save the person he loved and cared the most. Sure, the person he hated the most was himself. Because of his density, he didn't make Juvia happy; he didn't give her what she deserved. He sure had understood that something was going on with Juvia, but he always felt that it was something insignificant, just a crush that would eventually go away. Why he had to prove himself wrong by losing Juvia? Why he had to suffer all over again for losing a person he loved? This was his punishment for not understanding his feelings earlier? He wouldn't see her lovely smile filling the guild and everybody's hearts, her lively blue eyes scanning the area searching for him, her intense gaze piercing through his soul, he wouldn't hear her laughter echoing through his ears like a well-played symphony. He wouldn't feel her presence as she stalked him, he would spend the nights alone without her trying to spy on him. He wouldn't smile secretly again as he did while Juvia got jealous of a girl that approached him. How he was so stupid for not realizing that he loved all those things about her earlier? Sure she was a little crazy, a little bit too crazy, but he loved her craziness. It made his dull life be interesting again. He had caught himself smiling a lot of times when Juvia stalked him or was trying to get his attention, he definitely got jealous when he learned about Bora, but at that moment he lied to himself thinking that he was only angry because he had hurt one of his nakamas. How stupid he was! And now he proved incapable of saving her! He didn't deserve to be called a man! He was an idiot, a jackass, a dense douchebag, a…

When he was about to complete all the curses against his person, he felt the atmosphere change, a light breeze brush his face and hair. He raised his head from Juvia's and saw the presence that made his skin chill. The young woman that entered the infirmary had long wavy blue hair and ocean blue eyes like the ones Juvia had. Her skin was as pale as hers and her face was so delicate. Her curvaceous body was wrapped around a blue gown that highlighted her beauty even more. She was outstanding, Gray thought. She was an exact replica of Juvia, she just looked a little older than her. Her ethereal presence tried to approach the couple but got stopped by Laxus and Gajeel. "Who are you?" Laxus asked while Gajeel questioned in disbelief "Juvia?"

"I am not Juvia, Gajeel. I am Juvia's mother, Aquamarina." She answered melodically. Even her voice was the same as Juvia's!

"How do we know that this isn't another trap?" Laxus eyed her suspiciously while his hands were extended and ready to attack.

"You don't need to be afraid of me Makarov's grandson. After all, I think your ancestor can verify my identity. Isn't that right Makarov?" Aquamarina turned her gaze towards Fairy Tail's master.

"Laxus calm down. She speaks the truth." Master Makarov placed his hand onto his grandson's and made him lower his arms.

Laxus and Gajeel stepped aside and Aquamarina approached her daughter that still rested into Gray's arms. She kneeled in front of the pair and caressed Juvia's pale cheek with her delicate long fingers.

"What are you doing here?" Gray hissed again but Aquamarina didn't seem to get scared. She continued caressing her daughter's cheek and rested her other hand onto Juvia's bloody chest.

"I am here to give my daughter another chance. I am not gonna let her die." She said and Gray felt his heart fill with happiness, but then his hopes shuttered again. It was ridiculous to think that someone could bring back the dead. Dead. Juvia was dead. The realization hit him once again and he felt new tears fill his eyes.

"That's impossible. How are you going to do that?" he asked her suspiciously.

"Didn't Jose tell you about my tears? I thought he would…" she raised her eyebrow at Gray.

"Your tears?" Gray asked and tried to force his memory to remember. He had heard something about tears but he was too worried about Juvia at the moment, so he didn't pay any attention at anything that had been said.

"The water dragon's tears can bring a human back to life. That's what I am gonna do now. I will bring her back to life." And without another word Aquamarina let a tear slip from her eyes and fall onto Juvia's bloody chest. In a couple of seconds, Juvia's body covered with light, a so warm light that filled everyone's heart with happiness and love. Gray struggled not to close his eyes but the light was too strong. He closed his eyes hoping that when he opens them again, Juvia will be alive and smiling at him.

"You can open now your eyes Gray." Aquamarina's voice buzzed into Gray's ears. He opened and saw that Juvia's eyes were still closed, but the wound onto her chest was gone. There was no blood onto her clothes and her skin had come back to normal. Everything was really quiet inside the small room as everyone was holding their breaths but Gray got to hear a faint sound that came from Juvia's body. He lowered his head towards Juvia's chest and heard her heart beating fast again. Along her heart, his heart started beating fast once more and he smiled a full-hearted grin. "She's alive." He said smiling but then his gaze darkened again. "Why she doesn't wake up?" he asked Aquamarina that stood opposite him and now seemed a little older than before. "What's happening?" he asked worriedly again.

"I brought her back from the dead but it is up to her to come back to you. I healed her wounds and made her heart beat again. But her mind is still clouded and fast asleep. She has to figure out a way through her memories and finally to her loved ones. Be patient Gray and she will wake up." She answered with her voice hoarse and got up.

"Please take care of my daughter Gray Fullbuster. She deserves to be happy after all she's been through." She placed a hand on Gray's arm and he felt like someone invaded into his mind and thoughts. After a second Aquamarina smiled approvingly and let go of Gray's arm. The sense of someone invading his mind disappeared and then Gray realized that Aquamarina had read his thoughts. But he was too tired to argue about that. He didn't have anything to hide so he actually didn't care. "You truly love my daughter so I am sure that you will protect her."

"I will protect her no matter what. I won't let her get hurt again." Gray promised and Aquamarina turned towards Jose. She raised her finger and showed his face menacingly.

"You" she growled "are coming with me. I am not going to let you hurt anyone anymore." She grabbed him by the collar and tried to drag him out of the infirmary but Makarov got into her way.

"I will make sure that Jose will go to jail. It doesn't have to be this way." Makarov said but Aquamarina's eyes hardened.

"No jail will make him pay enough for what he did to my daughter. Don't try to stop me Makarov because you know what I am capable of doing for her." Makarov stepped aside and let Aquamarina drag out an unconscious Jose. "I am sure that you would do the same if you were me. Please tell her that I love her." She said and disappeared from site with Jose into the starless sky.'
