The Guardian and The Priestess

The Succubus

"Juvia is sorry. But, Juvia does not know who you are." Juvia countered, releasing herself from the hug.

"That's alright. Call me Lucy." I smiled and showed her my mark.

Her eyes widened and she bowed.

"I couldn't possibly call you by your first nam-" Juvia bowed in apology and accidentally hits her head on a nearby table.

Gray supported her, since he's the nearest one to her.

"You okay?" Gray asked and she blushed.

"Juvia?" I called and she looked up.

"By the way, that's Gray, Natsu, Erza, and Wendy!" I introduced each one of them, but she zeroed her focus on Gray.

"Juvia?" I called, again.

"Yes, Lucy-sama?" she asked, still looking dazed.

"Call me anything else, just please drop the sama." I smiled and it looked like she wasn't listening.

She was just staring at Gray intently.

Gray came up to me, shivering.

"Lucy, I think she's been staring at me for a while now." Gray leaned to my ears to whisper, then Juvia's eyes focused on me, and I flinched.

"Love Rival!" she declared.

"Huh?" We all looked at her in confusion.

"Juvia shall call you Love Rival! Gray-sama's mine!" She bared her fangs, grabbing Gray's arms, protectively.

I guess she heard me, when I said to call me anything she likes.

Well, whatever.

"Uh... I don't think I should comment on this one." I remarked.

I turned to look at Natsu who's smirking at Gray.

This devil is not helping.

"Natsu, I want to go home." I stated and he smiled at me, then nodded.

I heard everyone gasped.

Natsu and I looked at everyone, whose eyes were widened and jaws were clearly dropped everywhere.

Heck, even Wendy and Erza.

"T-The prince smiled!" someone commented, and Natsu automatically frowned.

Weird.

Haven't Erza and Wendy seen him smile, yet?

I sighed in defeat.

I just wanted to go home and rest.

Aquarius' powers draining my energy slowly, then I tugged on Natsu's sleeve and he nodded.

"Kagura, we have found what we were looking for." Natsu paused, and looked at Juvia.

"Would you be so kind, as to help us find the others?" Natsu questioned intently and she bowed then nodded.

"Of course, under your permission, Kagura." Natsu added, receiving a courteous bow from the ruler.

With that, we left silently.

Reaching the surface, Wendy and Juvia shapeshifted.

Problem was...

Juvia was buck naked.

So I took Natsu's cape, without permission, and wrapped it around her.

Natsu didn't seem to care.
