Gray Vs. Natsu Vs. Juvia: Story Of How they End Up Fighting

The Fine Sunset

Chapter 23

Natsu's POV

Juvia smiled and that was the signal. I drag Juvia to a safe place AGAIN to talk about IT. The air was filled with silence, until Juvia first broke the silence.

What is it about Natsu-san? Juvia asked.

It's about the whole Protecting-me thing, Juvia. Tell me all about it. I asked determined.

I saw Juvia frowned, but lifted her head agian.

Are you sure Natsu-san? Juvia asked with a sigh.

Yes, you that your Ethernano is...I stopped when I felt Juvia's fingers in my lips.

Juvia heard all that from Natsu-san, and Juvia understands why Zeref is surprised that Gray-sama took the Ethernano not you. Juvia said in a soft voice.

Can you tell me Juvia? I asked her with puppy eyes.

Okay, Natsu-san. Zeref expects that Natsu-san is the one to take the Ethernano, because if Natsu-san is the one who took the Ethernano, the demon inside Natsu-san will be tempting you to give it to Juvia and when the time comes that Juvia will swallow the Ethernano and become the Demon, that's the time that Zeref will awaken from his eternal slumber, and that's the time you two will meet in battle. Zeref planned that if Natsu-san got the Ethernano, it will just take a matter of month's util you two will fight. Juvia explained.

What?! I'm a Demon? I shouted.

Yes Natsu-san, you're a Demon as well. Zeref is a Demon too. The Demon inside you is in a barrier like Juvia's. Natsu-san's Demon was in love with Medusa, but the life of Juvia's demon was over because she has a very bad sin and Poseidon took away her life and Natsu-san's Demon will try everything to resurrect Juvia's Demon. When Juvia's Demon was resurrected by Zeref, Natsu-san's demon awakens and tries to get his hands on the Ethernano and make Juvia swallow it so the Demon inside Juvia will be out of control and Natsu-san's demon too, so that they can live together in Natsu-san and Juvia's body. Juvia said in a soft voice.

Why did you just tell me this now Juvia? I know what Zeref will do to you; I would just have protected you. I said staring at her.

Sorry Natsu-san, Juvia just did it because he pleaded to Juvia and you know that we are friends, there's nothing Juvia will do but say yes. There is no stopping for Zeref now because; Gray-sama has the Ethernano, and Zeref will only wait until Juvia will swallow it. Juvia added while she tears up.

It's okay Juvia, I won't be a burden to you and Gray. I won't let Gray hand you that Ethernano Juvia, not ever. I said as I comfort her and press her to my chest.

Thank you, Natsu-san, now my mission is to protect you and Gray-sama. Juvia said while her face was touching my chest.

Wait, why is Gray needed your protection? I know that you're an item but why? I asked her, and pushed her slightly to see her beautiful face.

Well, Gray-sama has the Ethernano, I have to protect him if somebody's going to get the Ethernano from him. Juvia smilled.

Oh, okay. But, why would he like to die? I thought to myself.

It's because he lived 400 years, Natsu-san, and maybe he encounters problems all the way. Juvia said.

Really? Wait, what? You heard me Juvia? I asked her.

Of course Natsu-san, don't underestimate Demons and Dragon Slayers especially Juvia, Medusa is said to be a girl but because of the heavy sin she was made into a serpent, she has half the body of a girl and half of a snake, and her hair is made of snakes that when you stare at her you will make into stone and she died after the incident. Juvia said smirking.

Oh, really? And what about that Dragon of yours? I asked.

Well, Sinren has a voice deep down in Juvia's mind; he always says that he was very lucky to be with me in my days. Juvia chuckled.

We both laugh in a moment; we stopped to look at the sun setting.

It was very beautiful to see, and amazing with Juvia here at my side. I like the feeling to be happy and safe, knowing all the information. I just have to protect her. I wonder about Lucy, will she be alright? I thought.

I saw Juvia laughing at me.

Juvia, did you hear all that? I asked with a scowl.

Don't worry Natsu-san I won't steal you away from Lucy. Juvia said as she stands.

Come, let's go to the others Natsu-san. Juvia said running away from me.

Yes, Juvia, just wait for me in the cottage. I shouted.

Okay, Natsu-san. Juvia shouted.

I just stand there still watching the sun set.
