Chapter Thirteen

Disclaimer: Fairy Tail does not belong to me

Please R&R, Thanks much!

This Chapter will be almost if not all Gruvia because there hasn't been much Gruvia action lately... Sorry guys, I'm taking a short break from LyonxRin even though I LOVE them!

LyonxRin Forever!

"So Rin's just going back to Magnolia?" Juvia asks Gray.

Gray scratches his head. "Yeah, apparently Gramps was in dire need of a celestial wizard, and he can't get in contact with Lucy."

"Oh, so then it's just the two of us?"

"Yeah," Gray sighs. "I was really hoping that Rin could come along for this..."

"So Juvia is not not good enough?" Juvia asks, tears welling up in her eyes.

Gray stares at her, unsure of what to do. "T-that's not necessarily what I meant... Anyways, this is a quite dangerous mission, and I know that Rin can handle it. That's all."

"Are you saying that I'm not a strong mage?" Juvia inquired, quite hurt.

"It's not that, you just tend to let your emotions cloud your judgement, don't take everything so personally."

Juvia, for once, could feel herself grow angry. "And? Aren't emotions the reason that you won against Rufus Lore? Emotions make Juvia strong, not weak!" she exclaims angrily and storms off.

"Juvia wait," Gray says chasing after her, his hand out stretched.

"You've made Juvia wait long enough, Gray-sama. Juvia needs some time to think," she says gently slapping his hand away before melting into water and disappearing.

The nerve of that girl, r"unning off like that. I have somewhere that I need to be! The bullet train's last ride to Crocus is in the next hour. Gray grumbles in his head. But still, I wonder if she got lost. Getting increasingly worried, Gray speeds up into a run, calling her name. "Juvia! Juvia, where are you?"

As he rounds the corner he sees her, holding hands with a small child. "Did you ever get lost while playing hide and seek with your friends when you were little, Juvia?" she asks.

"Um, Juvia did not have any friends when she was little," she laughs lightly. "But Juvia has friends now."

"Why didn't Juvia have friends? I sure like Juvia."

"Well, Juvia was cursed with rain that followed Juvia wherever she went, and nobody wants to play with a gloomy girl."

"It's not raining now, though."

Juvia smiles warmly. "Juvia got rid of her curse."

"Really? How did you get rid of your curse?"

"Juvia fell in love. Juvia fell in love with a wonderful guy named Gray-sama."

The little girl looks at her mischeviously. "Are you married to Gray-sama now?"

"No no no no. Gray-sama does not like Juvia. Not even a little bit. He doesn't care about Juvia's feelings. He is always off with other girls," Juvia says, a shadow crawling across her face.

Gray, what are you doing? Trailing Juvia like this... Get a life dude! Don't be such a creeper. Wait, WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY? I am not always off with other girls! Besides, it's not like I don't care about her feelings... He thinks, drifting off into an empty thought.

Sorry sorry sorry! I haven't been able to update lately and this is a really skimpy chapter. :( I've been really busy even though it's only the first week of school.
