Chapter 50

"Gray! Welcome home! How was school?" Ultear greeted her little brother.

Gray shrugged off his shoes and dropped his bag on the floor.

"It was alright" Gray responded laying down on the couch.

"Geeze Gray, at least try to keep the place tidy" Ultear said fixing his shoes and placing his bag on the table.

Gray only groaned as he turned around to stare at his sister.

"When are you leaving?" he asked.

Ultear crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

"I haven't seen you in years, YEARS! And you're already asking when I'm leaving? Where's the love?" she asked.

"I didn't mean it like that, I'm just worried about your job. How am I going to eat if you don't bring home the bacon?" Gray asked.

Ultear smacked Gray's feet off the couch so she could sit down.

"By bringing in your own. So tell me about your day, how was Natsu?" she asked.

"Still as dumb as ever" he responded.

"You always spoke so poorly of him when you wrote me about him, I think he's your best friend though" she said.

"Probably is" he answered.

"I'm confused though. Out of the weeks I've been here not once have you talked about that girl you were so fond of... what was her name?... Juvia! That's it! What's going on with Juvia?" Ultear asked.

Gray smashed the couch pillow against his face.

"I don't want to talk about it" he mumbled against it.

"You were always writing about how she loved you so much" she said.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Gray said a little louder.

"By the way you wrote, I thought you felt the same" she said.

"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" Gray yelled throwing the pillow at her.

It didn't phase Ultear though.

"Then what do you want to talk about Gray?" she asked.

"Anything! Everything but her!" he yelled.

"Why though? Why do you keep avoiding me every time I try and talk about her! It's like the same thing with Mo-...oh... why didn't I notice it before?... she does look like her doesn't she?" Ultear asked remembering a picture of Juvia that Gray had sent her in a letter of his.

"SHUT UP!" Gray yelled.

"Is that why you're avoiding her? Was that why you never returned her feelings? Because you thought she'd die like Mom?" Ultear asked.

"NO! IT WAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT I'D KILL HER LIKE MOM! THERE YOU HAPPY?!" Gray yelled.

He stood up and stomped to his room. Ultear wasn't going to give up that easily though, she stood up and followed after him.

"So you do love her, you just can't admit it though because she looks so much like Mom. I'm right aren't I?" Ultear asked.

Gray tried to slam the door on her but Ultear was stronger. She forced her way into the room.

"When are you going to stop blaming yourself Gray? When are you going to realize it wasn't your fault she died?" Ultear asked.

"IT WAS WAS MY FAULT! If I hadn't gotten into that stupid argument with her, not even that, if I would have just called her once I got to Natsu's she wouldn't have died. It was my fault Ultear! Isn't that why you left me? Because you couldn't stand the sight of seeing our Mother's murderer!" Gray yelled.
