The Opal Sphere

Lost War

Natsu's POV:

She was just in my grasp. I could practically feel her in my arms again.

Oh Lucy

"NATSU" she screamed once again "WHERE ARE YOU NATSU"

"IM COMING FOR YOU LUCY" my voice echoed toward her.

My feet refused to stop or slow down. I was really fast but in my mind I wasn't fast enough to get to Lucy. What do she is hurt? What if she dies before I get to her.

"Oh I see that you have escaped" a female voice said through the dark.

"Where's Lucy ?" My voice answered back, angrily.

"Oh she's right where she needs to be deary" she laughed. It wasn't a nice laugh. I sent shivers down your spine and it had a sense of danger to it.

She lashed out at me.

Gray's POV:

I wanted to spend more time with her alone. The light glistened in her hair, just like it was at the cafe yesterday.

I wonder if the girl, Siriko Ushada I think it was, is alright.

After silent walking, well limping for Juvia, we arrived at 8-island.

" oh Juvia and Gray, what a nice surprise" Laki said. She must be doing a job here.

"Hey nice to see you Laki" Juvia smiled and waved towards her.

We got seated at table, next to the window and we ordered our food. Me and Juvia talked about if we are alright and how we are partners, which I think Juvia took the wrong way. Everyone has been telling me how she is in love we me and that I shouldn't just lead her on. I don't see how I'm leading her on when we just spend a lot of time together. I can see that she loves me. And Erza is right I should tell her my feelings, but I can never find the right moment to.

Mira's POV:

We were under attack. I leaped in front of the girl trying to make sure none of their attackes didn't reach her. We're these the people that took Natsu and possibly even Lucy?

"Erza watch out" I shouted one of them coming up behind Erza. What a dirty attack!

I change into my weakest Satan Soul to protect the girl. Four people are attack us, all using strange magic.

"Eat my iron punk" Gajeel said while attacking back.

"Magic Absorb" A slender man said. Gajeel's iron fist disappeared and soon became the slender arm.

Did he just take Gajeel's magic ?

Natsu's POV:

"Where's Lucy" I growled towards the women as I dodged her attacks.

"Like I said, she's right where she needs to be" she cackled, it disgusted me.

"Iron Fist of The Fire Dragon" I screamed as I hit her.

My blood was boiling, this women held Lucy captive.Our fight seemed like it was never ending. We were lashing attacks towards each other with little talking. I just wanted to get through her so I could get to Lucy. I was trying to concentrate on hearing Lucy, making sure she is still  breathing but at the same time I had to concentrate of defeating this despicable women.

"Oh it looks like our little brawl is up deary" the women said and she looked upwards. "I have somewhere to be" 

She smile then she jumped upwards onto a platform and started running dissolving into the darkness. My breath was heavy, she didn't seem out of breath when she went. I would have called her back but I just needed to get to Lucy. I started running listening to Lucy's heartbeat. 

"I'm coming Lucy" I muttered under my breath. My speed was getting faster and faster. Everything merged into one as I ran. I didn't know where I was. But I do know where I am going. I am going to Lucy and I am going to hold her in my arms again.

Juvia's POV:

We left 8-island, our appetites were satisfied. 

"Juvia" Gray-sama's voice sounded shaky. he had his hands in his pockets and his head looking at the pavement.

"Yes Gray-sama" I turned to look at him, his head still hung low. But even when I can't see his face fully, he still gets more beautiful every second passing.

"We've been spending a lot of time together lately haven't we?" Gray's picked up his head and turned to face, the wind subtly blowing at his hair. 

"Juvia and Gray-sama have" I smiled as we carried on walking. But my smile quikly turned into a frown. "Why doesn't Gray-sama want to be with Juvia?"

What if he doesn't want to be with me? What if he just wants me out of the picture. The would shatter me.

"Juvia I want to be with you" His voice turned serious. Our feet stopped moving, we were standing still and our bodies turned towards each other, expressionless.

"You want to be with Juvia?" I was confused, I thought he didn't want to be with me. Does he finally accept my feelings towards him? 

"Of course I want to be with you. I've been spending so much time with you Juvia that you've made me realise how much of a brilliant person you are." A tiny smile came to his face. 

He wants to be with Juvia. 

"What do you mean Gray-sama" I said, wondering what he is on about. 

"I've been falling for you Juvia" His voice turned sweet, like cotton candy. "Their is no more romantic rival's, because I am in love with you"

His left hand was on my cheek. My pulse rising higher and higher by the second. Gray-sama was in love with Juvia.

"I picked a bad time to say this with Natsu and Lucy gone but every second I spend with you, well you just make me happy. Your smile lights up the room and you make me happy" He stepped in closer. Was he going to kiss Juvia? 

His head started tilt and he placed his lips on my cheek. His lips were so soft, just like Juvia imagined. 

Was this a dream?
