To be a kid again- the curse continues

Chapter 9

Lucy's POV
I stood still, staring at the last spot Gray was seen.

"That... What is that?" I asked looking at the small white cloth that laid on the floor.

"It's a Teru Teru Bozu." Juvia sighed, her usual happy self turning into her gloomy original one.

"A what?" I asked Juvia who had crouched down to pick it up.

"It's a doll Juvia used to carry around to keep the rain from following her but..." Juvia looked at the doll, her expression dropping. "Juvia hasn't needed one since Gray-Sama had made the rain disappear."

"Then why is that there?" Just as Natsu finished his sentence the rain began to fall, Natsu picking me up and pulling me close to him as he ran to take cover.

"Juvia!" I called for her but she didn't move, she just stood there watching the doll.

Juvias POV
It started raining and I couldn't help but feel sad. I knew the rain would return and with Gray-Sama gone, it won't leave.

"Juvia!" Lucy called but I wouldn't listen, I stood still, my warm tears mixing with that of the sky's.

"Juvia..." My eyes widen once I heard Gray-samas voice though I couldn't see him. "Down here." I looked down at the doll in my hands, it's black eyes staring at me.

"Gray-Sama!" In the shock I had dropped the doll in a puddle, earning some angry words from it.

"Seriously Juvia," I apologised before picking him up again and moving out of the rain beside Lucy and Natsu.

"Are you okay Juvia?" Lucy ask before sniffling slightly, Natsu wrapping his scarf around her.

"Juvia is... But Gray-Sama doesn't look so good." I held him up before attempting to wipe the mud off.

"I don't see Gray." Natsu and I looked around, the curtain of rain making it hard for us to see anything other than 1 metre in front of us. Juvia turns to us and holds up the doll.

"Yo." Natsu jumps back and shelters me from the possessed item.

"G-gray?"

Levys POV
I ran through the guild to the masters office, my small body weaving easily through the crowd.

"What's wrong child?" Master was sitting on the bar as usual, drinking another cup.

"What do we do?! We can't find Lu- chan or Gray, and there hasn't been any word from the search team! What happens if it become too late like before? They might-" the master shushed me before I could finish my worried rant.

"The best thing we can do for them is try to find a way to fix it." Masters calm voice soothes my anxiousness.

"Masters right," Gajeels voice intervened as he entered the room. "You leave finding them to me, but I am relying on you to fix them when I bring them home."

"Let's just hope their conditions aren't progressing." I sigh.

"Progressing?" I look up at Gajeel with a worried expression.

"This spell is stronger than last time and without the book I don't know what to do. I need to find out what started this whole mess." Gajeel began patting my head, his heavy rough hands like sand paper.

"If anyone can do it its you."
