Chapter 38- The resurrection of Juvia Lockser AKA the rain woman
Lyon ran through the forest at a fast pace. The only thoughts running through his head were to save Juvia. Despite accepting that Gray and Juvia would eventually end up being together once Gray confessed, he'd still do anything to save his favourite water mage. He didn't know what was meant by what he was doing, hell he had no clue, but he understood it was important so he did as instructed without hesitation.
After arriving at the funeral location, everyone had already gone. The next place he went was the guild. Again, there was no one their but Mirajane, Makarov and Gildarts.
"Where is everyone?" Lyon asked,
"They've gone home." said Makarov,
"Who are you looking for?" asked Gildarts,
"Gray. Can you tell me where I can find him?" asked Lyon directed to all three of them, "It's urgent." he added,
"Very well, I'll give you his address." said Mirajane,
She hurried around to behind the bar and pulled out a big folder. She flicked through the folder which held the profile of every Fairy Tail mage to ever join the guild. Mirajane pointed out Gray's address on his page and Lyon nodded. It normally would have amused him that Gray was naked in his identification photo, his habits! sighed Lyon. But really wasn't in the mood to laugh.
Next thing he knew, he was running down the many streets of Magnolia searching for Gray's house. With being a little unfamiliar with the area, he struggled and got lost a couple of times before finding it.
Arriving at Gray's house which happened to be an apartment, Lyon burst through the door without a second thought.
"Lyon! What the hell are you doing here?" demanded Gray,
"I came for what's around your neck!" replied Lyon,
Gray clasped his hand around the tear shaped ice.
"You can't have it."
"I need it Gray."
"Well so do I!"
"No you don't!"
"I don't know how, but it can say Juvia!"
Gray froze for a moment. In the window of opportunity, Lyon snatched the pendant off Gray's neck. Lyon broke for the door as fast as he could, but the younger pupil caught the back of his shirt and yanked him back.
"How can I trust you?" asked Gray through clenched jaw and teeth,
"Because I love her to." said Lyon,
Gray's grip loosened and Lyon ran off. Gray's right hand clenched next to his heart where she once hung on a thread. The tears threatened to slip down his cheeks. He wasn't sure whether to give into the pain or not. But there was hope now, not guaranteed, but existent it seemed. He wanted to run after Lyon to see what he meant, but for some reason he felt routed to the spot. Perhaps it was the extreme discomfort of his bluenette stalker not being close to his heart or at least what was left of her. It was hard for Gray to hear her name, but even harder to speak it. It just got caught in the back of his throat, and every time he thought about her his thoughts were crowded with regret. He was claustrophobic in the suffocating negative memories.

"Natsu-san, it seems you've got yourself quite a dilemma!" began the ice-blue haired winter mage, "But as to what happened between Lisanna and Gray, I'm sure they both wouldn't have purposely done that to you. What are some things you did or considered doing after you found out that Lucy liked someone else?"
Natsu smashed his head hard onto the ground.
"I turned to Lisanna to heal my hurt…" he sighed running his hands through his pink hair.
"Do you sort of understand now? Lisanna and Gray probably did the same thing. Lisanna thought you were in love with Lucy and didn't know what to do, and Gray was probably stressing about how to confess to his stalker and didn't know what to do. Natsu-san, I really don't think something like this will ever happen again." Rena assured him,
"How do you know that Juvia was a stalker?" asked Natsu,
"I know everything, I've been alive to so many years I've lost count after all. I've lived in Fiore for a fair while now… well ever since I heard Zeref was here." said Rena,
"You're after Zeref to?"
"For Nina, we've known each other for hundreds of years and I love her like family. When I heard her story, I decided I'd follow her anywhere and everywhere to help her. Besides, you get rather bored when you can live forever." she explained,
Natsu's eyes widened in thought for a minute,
"Have you ever met dragons?!" he asked with excitement tainting his voice,
"Son of Igneel ne?" she smiled at him,
"You've met Igneel?!" he asked even more excited now,
"Who haven't I met?" she shrugged,
"When did you meet him? What did he say?" asked Natsu eagerly,
"I can't remember…. Something about you," she said.
Natsu's bright, bubbly and happy-go-lucky personality had momentarily returned. Finally a break from all the serious and troubling events in one's life!
Time skip….
Lyon finally saw the castle-like structure come into view. He had the ice pendant clutched in his left hand as he ran, luckily he was an ice mage so it didn't melt along the way.
Natsu almost immediately picked up the scent,
"He's here."
"Good."
Lyon ran into the courtyard finally decreasing in speed as his legs slowed. He tossed the piece of ice to Rena and she caught it successfully. The three mages crowded around Juvia kneeling beside her.
"If I catch either of you perving, YOU'RE DEAD!" she threatened.
She dangled the ice pendant over the water mage's body. She slowly lowered it, lower and lower toward her chest.
"You can do this, Juvia."
The ice began to glow as it just made contact with her body. It glowed a white blue light and then her body took it inside of her.

Earlier on…
Juvia's spirit floated above the courtyard. She questioned exactly what she was, a ghost like Mavis perhaps? No one could see her nor hear her, but somehow the winter god Rena knew she was there. She sensed an amazing amount of power from the Rena, especially when the icy breeze stirred and previously raining remnants of Juvia were drawn together, piecing her body together bit by bit. Juvia was touched by Natsu's care for her, she just wished her Gray-sama had been there. She was in awe when she heard of Gray's state from Natsu, and that he held the last piece of her around his neck close to his heart. She wanted to cry in happiness. This was beyond fawning over him in a stalker like manner. But what touched her more than anything was when Natsu said that Gray never got to tell her how he felt. If Juvia couldn't live again, she wanted to rip out her heart and give it to Gray if only that didn't sound as messed and disturbing as it would realistically be. Except wait, he already had done that for her. Juvia knew for a fact that the missing piece was the most important of all. Her heart. So for the days that Gray had been away from her, she had never truly left his side. Their hearts always remained side by side.
Kudos to SilenTaku! Who came up with the concept of how Juvia would die and come back to life. She's also my best friend at school and we spend every day talking about planning fanfictions together. So thankyou Taku-chan! I love you! Please check out her stories, 'Academy of the arts' (A Fairy Tail fanfic, and if you're a Sword Art Online fan as well, 'Yuuki hearts'.
Thank you to all of my reviewers, it was great to hear from you all about pairings and such,
Venadrill;
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on pairings, I think Wendy and Romeo are adorable to! I think Hiro Mashima should hurry up and hint that pairing because it would make my day, and the couple name 'Womeo' sounds so cute I think! I also like the idea of Cana and Laxus to, even if other people think it's a weird pairing. Also thanks for being a fellow Gildarts x Laki shipper! I will write more about their relationship in the future of this story.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! You have some pretty unique ships I hadn't even thought of before, which isn't a bad thing, I've just never thought of them before I too am a JerZa, Womeo, MiFree, Gruvia, GaLe and StiYu shipper, so I'm sorry I can't pair Laxus and Lucy, but I'm sure you'll like those pairings I've put in this story!
