At the guild.

Natsu and the rest burst into the guild filling them in on what they have just found. Gray's coat, the note and the fact that two other members have gone missing. Luckily, Happy had overheard Gajeel's and Juvia's conversation and knew where they were headed. Erza took charged and formed a team to go after them. Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, Carla and Erza.

Juvia's pov

As Gajeel and I was just about to reach phantom guild we heard people running behind us. We turned around ready to attack whoever it may be but it just turned out to be Natsu and some others.

"Juvia, Gajeel, we finally caught up with you." Lucy panted.

"Why didn't you tell us you were coming here?" Erza step to the front of the crowd, her eyes burning into mine.

"Juvia thought that she should settle this herself, I didn't want to bother you." I hung my head, embarrassed at how dumb I sounded.

"Why are we still standing here? Aren't we going to kick some butt?" Natsu screamed.

"Let's go!" Erza commanded and all of us charged. "Juvia, you take care of getting Gray, we'll do the rest." She told me while run, I nodded. As the first guards started to attack so do they.

Natsu hitting them with an mighty punch of flames, Erza changing her amour, Gajeel bashing them with his iron arm, Wendy giving them back up, Lucy summoning two of her spits - Leo and Aries- and the exceeds helped them to fly over dangers. I stood there watching them, not sure where to begin my search.

"Juvia! The prison!" Gajeel shouted as he swung his arm, knocking out another guard. So, there's where I ran too, determined to find Gray. Weird, security is usually tight around here.I must be careful. As I was running down the rows of cells, looking for the one Gray is in, I heard my name being whispered. Gray-sama!

There he was, hung up on the walls with chains. I bust the door open and went to him, touching his cold skin. I attacked the chains s that was on him, trying my best not to hurt him. I caught him as he fell off the wall, dropping to my knees. I heard fast approaching footsteps and carried him up on my back. They started to attack as soon as I exit the cell. Using one hand to support Gray, using the other to attack.

"Water nebula!"

"Water slicer!" I got a few hard hits myself but luckily Gray went unharmed.

"Water lock!" I ran up to where the rest were and laid Gray down on the floor.

"Wendy! Help Gray-sama!" Wendy started to work her magic as she did I joined the battle.

"Requip! "

"I open thee! Virgo!"

"Roar of the firs dragon."

"Roar of the iron dragon!"

"Water nebula!"

The guards fell one after the other. There was loud clapping followed by a small laughter. Someone came out into the lights. He was the new master of this guild,Gato, the son of the previous.

"Well done indeed. Fairytail."

"What do you want from us?" Erza snapped.

"From you? I don't want anything." he turned his gaze to meet my eyes. "From her however, a lot." he starts to shot me with bright beams of magic. I fell to the ground unable to attack back "Now be a good girl and come here." I looked from him to the rest, considering my options. I stood up, his mouth curled into an evil smirk. He was ready to fire another attack when Gray got in front of me and created an ice shield fending of the attack.

"Stop." his voice weak, I stared up at him."Juvia is mine!" this came out as a scream as Gray stood up and charged towards Gato.

"Ice blade." This snapped everyone out of their daze and they joined in. Soon, it was a mess all of them attacking but Gato dodged every single one. As they stood back to see there was not a single scratch on him. I was angry, very angry. How dare you hurt Juvia's friends?

"What do you want from Juvia?" my voice calmer than I thought it would be. I wasn't sure what I expected or what I was go find to do next but this was something I had to do.

"Came back to phantom. You would be better here." he chuckled.

"Juvia won't ever return to the likes of you!" screaming, I ran towards him. I doge all his attacks, attacking him in return.

"Juvia! Now!" Gray grabbed my hands and aimed it towards Gato.

"Unison raid!" It hit Gato. Hard. He went tumbling backwards before he was able to regain his balance we ambushed him with more attacks.

"Ice geyser!"

"Water slicer!"

"Ice saw! "

"Water lock!"

"Ice sword!"

"Water nebula!"

"Roar of the fire dragon!"

"Roar of the sky dragon!"

"Roar of the iron dragon!" the three of them combined their powers and gave the final blow. We cheered but I went over to where Gray was standing with his shirt offf.

"Juvia, you are safe!" he weakly pulled me close to his currently naked body. He stroked my hair back behind my ear gingerly, leaning his forehead onto mine. He smiled and pressed hard onto my lips. I was shocked stiff at first then I kissed him back. My hand tangled in his hair and the other ran down his smooth back down to the small of his spine. Warmth spread over my whole body, I didn't realised how much I longed for his touch. He pressed me against him tighter, our two bodies fitted into each other perfectly.

"They llliiike each other. " Happy purred but we didn't care even if the whole world knew, right now it just us finally back together. We pulled apart, turned to face the rest, holding hands. They all had a cheeky smile on their face, we smiled at each other and headed out, the rest followed suit.

The night sky twinkled with stars. Erza suggested we look for a place to stay for the night and return to the guild tomorrow. Natsu found a cave big enough for all of us with his strong sense of smell. I was lying down outside the cave staring into the deep blue sky covered with stars. The others were chatting inside the cave. Someone sat down beside me, I turned to see Gray's arm supporting his body with his legs out starched in front of him. I sat up and leaned my head on his shoulders. He looked at me, gave me a peck on the top of my head and we went back looking at the stars.

"There is something troubling Juvia though." I said breaking the silence.

"What would that be?"

"Why was Juvia let off of easily?"

"Cause we beat him."

"No, Gato said he wanted Juvia back but they didn't put up that much of a fight." he thought about this for a moment, nodding his head. He told me not to worry about it but deep inside there is still something bothering me. That escape was far too easy. Maybe they wanted somethingelse but what?

We fell asleep side by side, the thought still swimming in my head.
