"Wh-What? As in..that's her..?"
Erza exclaimed in shock, her body a bit stiff. The rest of Fairy Tail looked at Makarov in total shock as they couldn't believe what he was saying.
"Who is she again, master?"
Lucy asked, still a bit confused as well as Wendy gave a nod toward the short old man. Makarov nodded his head before moving to stand on the stool next to Gray and Maekan's bedside.
"This is my grand daughter..the one that went missing for 8 years.."
he explained as the others started to nod their head, understanding. Laxus didn't care that Natsu was trying to bother him but the fact that they finally found her, he can finally keep his eye on her again. Gray continued to look down at Maekan's slightly bruised hands as he never left his eye sight on them.
"U-Uggh.."
Everyone's attention was then brought to the groaning girl laying on the bed. Maekan's eyes slowly opened as it began as a blur at first until she started to see faces. Her eyes widened as she jolted sitting up, soon regretting on getting up.
"I-Itai.."
she groaned as she held her torso slightly. Laxus got up to move beside her, catching her attention. Maekan looked at him, everyone now watching to what he's going to do. He rose his hand, slapping Maekan's left cheek as her head was moved to the right slightly. Maekan's eyes widened as she turned her head to look back at the lightning mage, his facial expression emotionless.
"What. The. Fuck. LAXUS-NII."
she slightly screamed as an anger vein popped slightly. Makarov chuckled as the Fairy Tail teams started to gather around her.
"Maekan! Oh gosh, its Maekan!"
"Cana! Its great to see you too!"
she laughed as her smile was plastered on her face. Its true that Maekan hid her identity against her own family guild but; it was for many reasons. Maekan looked and noticed a certain raven haired boy sitting on a chair not far away but somewhat near by. Maekan looked at him for a while until Mira got the message. She slowly moved everyone out, even Laxus and Makarov as Maekan looked at her confused. She winked at her before leaving the room, causing the Multi-Mage to blush.
"Gray.."
she called out, causing him to look up, noticing that everyone has left the room. Gray stared at her before being taken back by her gaze. She shyly waved him over, Gray following her command as he got up slowly and sat at the edge of her bedside. He looked down at her hands, noticing as they were folded right in front of her. He slowly took one, Maekan staring as he softly grabbed her hand. Gray intertwined his fingers in between hers, making her blush slightly.
"Maekan.."
he muttered her name, making her look up. Maekan stared into his eyes as tears over flowed and rolled down her cheeks. She cried softly as she pulled him into a hug,= with one arm, her hand squeezing his hand. Gray smiled to himself as he hugged her back, burying his face into the crook of her neck and into her hair.
"Th-This is..real..isn't it..?"
Gray nodded in responses, not wanting to let go of the girl he's been searching for in years.
"Yes..and I will never let you leave my sight..ever again.."
