The Opal Sphere

Celestial Mages

Gray's POV:

"Juvia are you okay ?" I had just gained consciousness, it feels like I've been here forever. "JUVIA" I shouted out one more time

"Gray-sama Juvia is fine" I'm so glad she's okay. I don't know where she is but if I can hear her voice, I gives me hope.

"I'm coming Juvia don't move!" I stood up on my feet and headed in her directions. She was laid and some stones had fallen onto her legs. Damn! She was already injured, It's always her that seems to get hurt and every time that I see her like this It kills me a little inside. I run over to her and crouch down beside her. I looked down at her and her eyes met mine. Even though she's probably in pain, she still manages to give me a smile.

"I'm going to help you Juvia, just stay there" I go over to her legs and start to move the stones. They are quite heavy but I need to get her out of there.

"Gray-sama," Her voice still has hope in it, even though I can tell she is in a lot of pain," ca n I ask you a question?"

I've nearly got all of the rocks off her now, "Anything Juvia" I lift the last rock off her leg and she sits up.

"What do you see in Juvia?" Her eyes stared into mine. Connecting us in a way that I have never felt before. But what did I see in Juvia? I mean shes beautiful and she's been there for me ever since we met, she's funny and I just have this feeling that I would do anything for her. But how do I put that into words?

"Gray-sama, Juvia loves you!" I already knew that but hearing it now makes me want to make her mine.... no what am I thinking ?!

"I guess I love you too, Juvia" These were the only words that came out of my mouth. I want to say more, I want to hold her in my arms but I think that would be a bit too much and especially in the state that we are in now.

"Juvia whats a matter!" Tears started to roll down her face, but she was smiling stupidly. Was she happy or sad ?"

"Gray-sama, do you mean it ?"

"Of course I do, I wouldn't just spout it out to someone who I didn't love!" damn it! She's wonderful, who wouldn't love her ?

"Ever since Juvia met Gray-sama she has been happy" She wiped her tears away with her hand, "Thank you for making Juvia the happiest person alive"

I acted on impulse and connected our lips. What am I thinking... but her lips were warm and soft, I could feel where the tears stained her cheek

"Gray-sama!" She said in shock. Her cheeks turning pinker that the flowers on the cherry tree.

"I'm sorry, I acted on impulse, I was out of order" I smirked. I should smirk but I feel some sort of accomplishment.

"no it's fine, but I think we should get out here" She tried to get up but she could barely stand.

"Here" I picked her up on my back, wrapping my arms underneath her thighs. Her arms loosely wrapped around my neck and I could feel every breath she took on the back of my neck.

"let's go!" I started to direct us out of the tunnel.

Laxus's POV:

"We need to get in there!" The door had been locked by some sort of magic seal.

"Elfman, you need to calm down and stop banging on the door" I said, calmly. Usually I would be so angry but I didn't feel any angry going through me. Just the regret and embarrassment of not being able to protect the girl I love.

"My sister is in there and you expect me to be calm about it? You could do me and Mira a favour and help me get into it and save her" He started pounding is Beast Soul fist onto the door but it was no good, it wasn't even going to dint the door.

"Elf-nii-chan" Lisanna stood up and went over to her brother. "Mira will be alright, she's strong"

"But she's being tortured in there, don't you understand" Elfman seemed to be calmed down by Lisanna's voice

"We can find another way in" Lisanna had fully calmed Elfman down. He must really listen to his sister

"You know what we need!" Cana piped up, I almost forgot that she was here "booze!"

"Booze ? at a time like this, you must be out of your mind Cana" I answered her. I must admit Cana had her perks, but when she wants booze at a time that one of our comrades is in danger, I question what is wrong with her.

"Or bombs ?" She then pulled out her cards and the one at the top of her deck was the card 'bomb'

"Oh I get it!" Elfman turned to Cana's view " You're going to blow up the door"

"Finally someone gets me!" Cana then through the card towards the door, once Elfman and Lisanna backed away.

Panther Lily's POV:

We were both lashing out at each other, I hope that Levy has found Gajeel.

"What's your purpose in this?" I said to him, he made his next attack but I dodged it.

"Gouman will not tell hehehe" I noticed Jet and Droy were just stood at the side, doing nothing. It wouldn't be fair if they joined in but I guess they never do anything. I hit him with one last attack and it sent him flying. Jet used his speed magic and went over to him and tied him up while he was still coming back to his senses.

"So are you going to tell us now ?" Gouman was tied up on the floor, he looked up to me. He must know some sort of information, although he did look and seem sort of stupid.

"Fine I guess you win" He coughed, I must have winded him. "Its all for our God Zeref.... We needed a certain type of magic.... i don't know.....I didn't even do anything I got told just to stay here okay?" He wheezed out.

"God Zeref ?" So the dark lord Zeref is a part of this, who would have guessed. "So they want celestial mages then, I guess thats why Lucy was taken and Yukino."

If they got Lucy once this means that they intend on getting her back, I have to find the others.
