To be a kid again (complete)

Chapter 7

Juvias POV
Juvia continued to run until she was out of breath. Juvia looked around to find she was in the middle in a Forrest.

"Juvia wait!" Natsu-san yelled, running over to me.

"Gray-sama's so mean!" Juvia yelled as she threw her Gray doll to the floor. A loud growl came from behind a bush as we both turned to the bush.

"What was that?" Happy asked flying into Juvias arms.

"That was scary" Juvia said in a hushed voice.

"It's ok I'll protect you" Natsu-san said as he stepped in front of us.

"Aw isn't that cute, the whittle boy wants to protect her" a mans voice bounced around the Forrest.

"Show yourself you coward!" Natsu-san yelled clearly mad.

"Don't command me pipsqueak!" A man yelled as he walked out from behind a tree with others behind.

"Who you calling pipsqueak?" Natsu-san barely asked as he sunk next to me. The men towered over us and laughed.

"Haha aw is the little man scared?" One man asked.

"How much do you think their worth?" Another questioned. Natsu-san shot a fire ball at the man. The man dodged with a smirk as Natsu-san fell to one knee. Not again Juvia thought as she turned angrily at them.

"A lot more now that we know their wizards" someone spoke.

"I want the blue one for myself" another man said stepping out and grabbing Juvias wrist.

"Let Juvia go!" Juvia yelled as she shot a water slicer in his direction, soon feeling weak. Trying to stand up, Juvia stepped in front of Natsu trying to protect him. The man who wanted Juvia hit her with the back of his hand and sent her flying. Instead of hitting a hard surface, she felt to strong arms wrap around her.

"Gray-sama?" She asked as tears filled her eyes.

"I thought you would have figured out that I don't want you to leave me sight" he said looking me in the eyes and the turning to the bandits.

"But Gray-sama said to stay behind" Juvia said confused.

"I only wanted you to be safe" he said not looking at her. A smile crept onto her face but soon disappeared when the man laughed. A man pointed a gun towards Natsu-kun and laughed.

"Touchy reunion but I'm afraid we'll be taking you money now" he said firing the gun.

"Natsu!" Gray yelled as the bullet headed his way. Blood splattered as shock covered our faces.

"Lucy!" Natsu yelled as he ran to Lucy who just stood in the position she was shot in.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" She yelled through gritted teeth as her eyes glowed yellow.

"Luce are you ok?" Natsu asked concerned.

"Stay back Natsu, these guys will pay for what they've done" Lucy said as her eyes went back to normal. She closed her eyes and sighed as she pulled out a key.

"Open! Gate of the lion, Loke!" She yelled as Loke appeared.

"Good evening princess, do you need me to help you kick their butts?" He asked getting a nod as a reply.

"Leave some for me" Gray-sama said sitting Juvia down next to Natsu.

"Mind if I help?" Carla asked as Happys eyes filled with heart. She turned into her human form and smiled at Happy.

"No one is mean to him but me" she said as the three jumped towards the bandits. Within a couple of seconds the job was done.

Natsus POV
After they finished up with the bandits, they collected the money and said our goodbyes.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with me Juvia?" Lyon asked as he tried to take Juvia from Grays arms. Haha tried I thought as I watched Gray hold her tight as he stepped onto the train, shooting a glare at Lyon. Happy was being carried by Carla onto the train as he just smiled.

"Luce" I called her before we stepped onto the train.

"Yeah Natsu?" She asked looking at me.

"Thanx for saving me, again. I'm sorry you got hurt" I say looking at her bandages.

"I would do it again without hesitation, I'll always be with you" she said with a smile as she picked me up and carried  me. I snuggle into her neck as I feel her arms tighten around my body.

"So don't leave me"
