Summary: Ice Mages are going missing, disappearing in alleyways next to words written in dripping blood. Gray was their next target, now he's gone and Fairy Tail isn't too happy about him missing. How will they get him back? How long will they have until he is gone forever?

Fifteenth Day
That guy was a real jackass.
Usually he would call his rival a jackass, but this guy was the real deal. The guy was full of himself, along with being rude, mean, and unkind towards other human being. If he could laugh, hell he'd break out into a full laugh riot and topple over and cry from the amount of amusement and lack of air. He would, if he could.
Who was he kidding? This man was a jackass. A fucking ass licking, shitting arse, cock killing, motherfucking, dick sucking man.
All in all, the man was a real jackass.
He wanted to sigh.
He wanted to blink.
He wanted to eat.
He wanted to move.
He wanted to sleep.
God, he just wanted to go back to normal. Not stay in his own personal meat suit.
He'd been trapped in his body for at four days – and a half (if you wanted to count the first twelve hours he was unconscious). He had to think about that. Was he unconscious…or dead? He couldn't really remember much of anything after the fucking jackass with a cane sucked the last of his power out of his body. It was pain then poof darkness. He thought he heard Ur's voice, but he just thought that was his imagination. Then suddenly, he was pulled back to reality. He heard the jackass talking to him saying he was gone for twelve hours and he had plans for him.
He wanted to scoff at that.
What plans? Hell the jackass had already done what was done. So what plans? It was then he found out he couldn't move. He started freaking out (well in his mind that is), his body wouldn't move, and his breathing – light and slow – wouldn't speed up. So he flipped, cursing and yelling in his head.
And he'd been like that for five days. Not blinking, or eating, or moving, or sleeping. Just sitting there, in his own mind.
What worried him was why this jackass, who obviously wanted to keep him alive for some odd reason, hadn't feed him, or hydrated him. So did that mean he was dead already?
The thought scared him.
He'd been scared a lot lately.
But it wasn't those thoughts that scared him past his breaking point; it was what happened four days after he'd woken up. The jackass touched him and his finger crumbled into dust, then as if that hadn't been the worse part, the jackass smirked and said: "Should we bring your friend here, or wait for him to find us?"
So he started to panic again – but his body wouldn't show it.
Then the room he had grown accustomed to dissolved and darkness and the smell of liquor.
Natsu hated being touched.
For the past two days, Natsu would go out of his way to make sure he wasn't touched. And if he was, he'd watch the individual's movements, making sure they didn't dissolve on contact with his skin.
He hated being touched.
That's why he sat at an uninhabited bar, at ungodly hour, in the dark corner, drinking.
Natsu looked down at the drink in his hand. It was almost gone; he would need another one soon.
He wasn't drunk. Hell no, Natsu wouldn't let himself get drunk with Gray still out there. Natsu swallowed, if he was still out there. No, he hadn't given up…but he was a little unsure of where the Ice Mage may be.
"Your friend's life will disappear in front of you, and you will cry as he crumbles in front of your very eyes."
Crumbles, Natsu knew what that bastard meant now. If he finds Gray, would the Mage be in the same condition as Lyon. If so, how would Natsu help his friend? He just prayed that the man wouldn't crumble like Lyon had when Natsu tried to help. If he did, Natsu wouldn't have the will power to stay sane.
Suddenly, a soft thud raddled making Natsu look up from his drink with wondering eyes. It was an action that he would soon regret as a chair appeared in front of him. It wasn't just the old metal chair that had him taking in a loud unnerved breath; it was the man sitting in the seat. The only lighting in the tiny pub was from the lights that hung over the bar, it gave the man he'd been looking for an animus and eerie look. The man sat limply in the chair, his form would have tumbled forward if it wasn't for the lose rope around his chest. Handcuffs strapped the unconscious man's ankles and wrists to the chair. Natsu swallowed, Gray looked the same as Lyon. The only feature that wasn't even remotely the same was the Ice Mage's eyes. His eyes looked dead, lifeless, like all his emotions were washed away with his last frustrated tear.
"Gray!" Natsu shot to his feet, his arms reached out to touch the Mage. Stopping, Natsu swallowed and recoiled, he couldn't touch Gray if that meant the man would disappear forever.
"Lovely sight isn't it?" A voice spoke up, making Natsu snap his head around. "Though he doesn't seem as happy to see you," a shrug, "nevertheless it may just be his lack of strength."
"Bastard," Natsu spat at Teivel.
"Now, now, Natsu, you don't want your friend here pay for you nasty words."
"Why'd you bring him here?" Natsu asked, not letting the threat affect him.
"Leverage," Teivel cackled as he stepped forward with the swing of his cane. "See, you won't fight me correctly if his life is not on the line."
"What?" Natsu snapped back in disgust.
"Exactly," Teivel smiled, "now how should this start?"
"Fuck you ass," Natsu spat.
"Oh, but you will." Suddenly Teivel raised his hand in the air and with a snap the room chilled.
Turning around, Natsu growled noticing Gray had disappeared. "Where did he go?"
"He won't get in our way. Now," Teivel smiled happily and clasped his hands together in glee, "the rules are simple: You lose, you die along with your friends of Fairy Tail. You win – which by the way I highly doubt will happen – you will win, I will lose, and Gray…well let's just see what happens."
"Wait…what do you me-"
Natsu was quickly cut off with a joy filled 'GO!' and his feet left the ground. He flew through the air and then in a matter of seconds his back encountered the wall filled with bottles of liquor and whiskey. A surprised yelp left his mouth and he slid down the wall in a shower of glass and liquid.
"Now, now, Natsu, I thought you would have blocked that."
"What the fuck man!" Natsu shouted in rage as he jumped to his feet and felt flames flicker to life on his skin.
"Come now, attack." Teivel stretched out his arms and opened his palms.
Natsu lunged forward, his flames exploded in his palms and grew up his arm as he reeled back his right fist and brought it down towards Teivel. One moment the bastard was there, and then his form flickered and disappeared. Cursing, Natsu turned around just in time to dodge a downwards kick. Natsu flipped backwards and willed flames to jump along his left leg and kicked forward to meet the downwards movement from Teivel. Their legs met with a grand crash, ice sparkled down from the sky and smoke rose into the air as the two fell back and adjusted their footing.
"Grand!" Teivel marveled and clapped his hands together quickly.
Natsu had enough of this, breathing in he shouted, "Fire Dragon's Roar!"
He hit his target head on, or so he thought. Teivel swept his hands along the floor and pulled up a large ice block rose from the ground and blocked the large flames. Once the flames had ended, Teivel slashed his hand downwards and the block cracked then dissolved into dust. Not taking any time, Teivel rushed forward and balled his hand as ice shot out and shaped into a large ax. As the weapon sliced downwards, Natsu dodged the flying ax and shot forwards, towards Teivel and quickly caught hold of the man's arm. Flames jumped to life as Natsu flipped the man onto his back and pushed him with great force. Teivel shot backwards, his back met the window and the glass gave away, making him fall into the dead street.
Jumping through the window, Natsu expected the man to lash out at him, say meaningless threats, cry and scream like a child. But none of those actions happened, Teivel just rolled on the ground, laughing.
"This is fantastic," Teivel cheered.
Then Natsu felt his feet stop moving forward. Looking down he discovered that ice had frozen over his feet. Looking back towards Teivel, Natsu was surprised that the man had returned to his feet. Smiling Teivel walked over towards Natsu and placed his hand on the Fire Mage's chest. Ice quickly raced down and around Natsu's body, covering him in crystalized ice.
"You are amazing," Teivel grinned and leaned forward, "so much fight in you."
It was then Natsu broke through the thin layer of ice and shot his hand out towards the man's throat. Clasping it tightly, Natsu spun around and slammed Teivel against the pubs outside walls.
"See, so much fight." Teivel chuckled.
Teivel then kicked Natsu in the stomach, sending the Fire Mage tumbling backwards. Stepping forward, Teivel fixed his jacket and smiled. Natsu shot forward, flames licking his tightly clenched fists and, before Teivel managed to move, Natsu delivered a hard and blazing punch in the man's cheek and Teivel shot towards the floor. Looking up Teivel's smile was sprinkled in red, then it disappeared and a sneer replaced the once delighted smile. Kicking out, ice collided with Natsu's midsection and pushed him backwards. Natsu slammed into the ground; his head colliding violently with the brick filled flooring. Blinking spot out of his eyes, Natsu raised his head to get a glimpse of his attacker. Suddenly, Natsu felt the temperature drop and he looked above him. A large gleaming hammer floated above him, and then it came crashing down.
Natsu quickly rolled out of the way, but as the ice shattered from the blow, the air and ice pushed Natsu into the side of a building, knocking the air out of his lungs. Gasping in pain, Natsu felt a large gash appear on his hip and then warm blood rushed out and onto the pavement. Cringing, Natsu looked down at his wound then pushed himself to his feet. He'd be damned if this would stop him. He then rushed forward, and before Teivel could understand what his objective was, Natsu grabbed hold of his target and smirked at the man's confusion. Clasping onto Teivel's coat, Natsu jumped into the air and set his hands ablaze. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Teivel shot backwards with a destructive blast and crashing into the pub.
Sure, Natsu was scared of touching people (in fear of them dissolving from his touch) but with this jackass, he would touch him in a minute and dissolve this guy's fucking ass all the way to hell.
A/N: Am I the only one that wants Gray (for this arc in the manga) to get blamed for the ice village thingy? Hmmm….Oh thoughts, why do you always want your favorite character to get in trouble? Anyway, I know it's kind of short but I really enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoyed reading it! THANKS SO MUCH FOR 50 REVIEWS!
