Chapter 2

Juvia was discharged from the hospital after a week of being hospitalized. Erza and her group invited Juvia to stay with them a little bit longer just to get to know each other more. She followed them on their journey, and they said that they still have things to do before going back to Fairy tail. There is a lot of shocking news Juvia has yet to know. Gajeel joined Fairy tail a few months after the Phantom battle, and he even played the guitar and sang in front of them, which he never did in the Phantom Lord guild. She never knew that he could sing. Team Natsu except Erza quivered at the thought of Gajeel singing, especially Lucy. Juvia suddenly shivered despite of the heat. She snapped her head to wherever direction of the strange presence. Something doesn't feel right.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"There is a question Juvia meant to ask for a long time." Juvia said in a rather soft tone. "What happened to Argon after the fight?"

"We couldn't find his body or any remaining. There isn't a trace of him anywhere." Erza explained "it is impossible to escape without help from someone else."

"Why did he attack you?" Juvia asked. "Do you have any enemies? Or anyone you have provoked?"

Natsu scratch his head.

"I don't think we have." Lucy said.

"Argon took us by surprise right after we finished an S-class mission, we don't know what he is after, but we will be alert." Erza explained.

Juvia nodded and continue her journey with them.

(unknown place)

"How dare you come back empty-handed?" A deep, raspy voice bellowed "I do not tolerate any mistakes, haven't I told?"

The terrified Argon knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

"I am given second chance by Lord Zeref to get my revenge, not to be defeated again by those trashes. Do you get me?"

"Please forgive me, my master. There was a girl who interrupted our fight, if it wasn't for her I would've gotten those fairies."

"And who is that girl?"

"I don't know but she has blue hair and uses water magic."

The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled "Interesting, I might know her. Now bring me those fairies or you will not live to see another day."

"Your wish is my command." Argon kneeled.

"Oh, and also the girl."

Argon bowed one last time before exiting the dark room. The man chuckled.

"My dear Juvia."

"Ehh? You have been travelling all around Fiore?" Lucy exclaimed, "It must be exciting. Which city has the biggest shopping mall?" Juvia gave her a slight smile before answering,

"It is Magnolia, though each city has different styles." Juvia begin going through all the different things or style in different city while Lucy eagerly sat on the train seat and listen. Erza was looking out at the window, probably doing some thinking, while the pale Natsu crouched over the seat due to his motion-sickness, while the blue cat nibbling a raw fish beside him. Gray was creating some Fairy tail sign using his ice magic. They had just finished their submitting their quest form, which is the reason why they said they had something to do.

"The next station is: Magnolia. Please be ready to exit the train." The speaker boomed out, interrupting the conversation of the girls.

"F-finally here aren't we?" Natsu squeaked. Seeing the dragon-slayer in this appearance made Juvia laugh,

"D-don't laugh at me."

"You are so pathetic, flame brain." Gray mocked as he took off his shirt, making Juvia blushed slightly.

"W-what did you say, Ice princess." Natsu screeched as he flopped down on Gray's laps. Gray growled and pushed Natsu off. Erza stood up as the train begins slowing down.

"Let's get off." Erza said as she picked up the groaning Natsu and exited the train. Natsu sniffed the air when they got off the train.

"Something smells familiar in a bad way." Natsu warned, "Very faint though."

"What is it?" Gray growled. "Is your nose broken from motion sickness? We are Fairy Tail's homeland, of course it's familiar." Natsu scratched his head.

"Maybe you're right."

"Wanna go to Fairy tail? I bet Gajeel would be glad to see you." Erza offered. Juvia smiled and accepted the offer.

"But Juvia have something she wants to do before going to Fairy Tail. Juvia will meet up with you after her business."

Erza nodded and they parted ways. Once they are out of sight, Juvia went to where her former guild is. An empty land filled with nothing but grass and memories. Rustling sound of the grass gently sing to her. She recalled her bitter past. She closed her eyes and let herself dwell in the song of the nature. Birds singing, silent squirrel chewing on a nut, rushing of river water, people chattering in a distance, and the fresh air she breathed in. If time would just stop here, she'd be the luckiest girl on earth. She didn't know much time flew by, but she's sure its more then an hours or so.

"Penny for yer thought?" A familiar voice called out from behind, and she knew exactly who it is.

"It's nothing. Juvia is just enjoying the view."

"I heard you helped them during a losing fight." Gajeel said. "You never change huh?" He gave Juvia a toothy grin and walked up next to her. "So… how are you lately?"

"Juvia is fine, but for some reason Juvia don't feel right. Someone is after Team Natsu, that Juvia is sure. But she doesn't know who."

"What? After them? Why?"

"That's what Juvia is trying to figure out. They might be strong but there are mages a lot stronger than they are."

"You don't have to worry about them, because they will somehow make protect themselves, like they did during the Phantom battle." Juvia nodded and toyed with a stone. "Plus, the whole guild is here for them."

Juvia smile.

"Why don't you join Fairy Tail?" Gajeel asked dropping down on the soft grass. "Master Makarov found me when I was eating Phantom Lord Guild."

"You really did eat it?" Juvia giggled, she thought it was just a joke to cheer her up.

"No kidding, I finished almost one-fifth of it." Gajeel laughed along with Juvia. Slowly the laughter died down. Gajeel sighed and continued "There are people in this world who enjoy being alone, but there isn't a single person who can bear solitude. Its what Master Makarov said to me. So stop blaming yourself. "

"Gajeel-kun, Juvia is not blaming herself anymore. Juvia just need a little more time to herself, just a little more." Juvia whispered. Gajeel sighed again.

"Don't overwork yourself, and if you need any help just tell me." Juvia nodded and stood up. "Shall I take you to the guild right now?"

"Yes, plea-."

Juvia was interrupted by laughter, and then she felt a sudden stabbing pain on her ankle. A thick needle pierced through her ankle, making her lost her balance.

"Juvia!" Gajeel called, staring at her pierced ankle. "Who the hell are you? Come out and show yourself."

"Juvia recognized this voice." She grunted, trying to stop the bleeding by holding it "Argon."

Gajeel spat and sniffed at the air.

"I only need the girl for today, so don't get in my way." Argon snarled as he suddenly appeared in front of Juvia. He kicked Juvia in the face, sending her flying across the plain field. Argon held up a few thick needles between his fingers.

"Do you know what these do?" Argon laughed as the needles disappeared. Juvia screamed in pain as the needles suddenly stabbed into her arm, body, and legs out of nowhere. Two in both of her arms, one in her side piercing through her lung, and one in her thigh.

"Iron dragon's roar!" Gajeel screamed. Using it as a distraction, he ran to pick up the semi-conscience blunette and threw her over his shoulder. He ran as fast as he can to escape the enemy.

"You're not going anywh-." Before he finish his sentence Gajeel used his 'Iron dragon's club' and knocked Argon back a few feet. By the time Argon got up the iron dragon-slayer has already got out of his sight, but leaving a blood trail. Argon smirked,

"Let the hunt begin."
