Guilt and Regret

Their Reveal

The Guild stood in shock. 2 of their most powerful mages, were just defeated by 2 mysterious new members. "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" "THEY BEAT NATSU AND GRAY!" "THEY MUST BE POWERFUL!" "WE'LL BE EVEN MORE POWERFUL WITH THEM!" Lucy and Juvia both looked at Master Makarov, who was smiling back. Lucy looked at Gray and Natsu, then asked Juvia, "I should probably heal them, right?" Juvia nodded, "Yea, let's set a good example before they hate us all over again." Lucy nodded, "Open Gate of the Healer, The Rabbit!" The rabbit from before came out, "Heal them, again, then you may return." Lucy said. The rabbit went over to Natsu and Gray and healed them both (again) and disappeared. They both jolted awake.

"Huh, w-what happen?" Natsu asked, "How should I know- wait, the fight! Did we lose?" Gray asked as he looked up at Lucy and Juvia. They both nodded, "Aww man, I thought for sure we'd win." Natsu pouted, "Yea, same. It was a good fight, we should fight again sometime. Congrats on being S-Class." Gray added. Juvia and Lucy nodded and turn to walk to Master Makarov and Team Dark Wings when Natsu and Gray ran behind them and pulled their hoods off, "But we gotta know who you are before then." Gray said. Once their hoods were down, they saw blonde and blue hair, and two faces they thought they'd never see again. "You...." Natsu whispered. "How..." Gray whispered.

"So, do you think we should just tell them who were are, Juvia?" Lucy said. "Why not, we were going to tell them anyway, Lucy," Juvia said as they both turned around to face Gray and Natsu. "HOW DID YOU GET HERE?" Natsu yelled. "Through the door, duh," Lucy said in an emotionless voice. Natsu's face filled with rage, "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!" He yelled as he was about to punch Lucy, but she took out the sword that Elementasia gave her and block Natsu. "Look Salamander, as you and the whole guild saw, Juvia and I kicked you and Fullbuster's butt, so unless you want me to mess you up more, I suggest you back up," Lucy said, when she finished, she kneed Natsu where the sun doesn't shine. "OWW!" Natsu yelled. "You better g-" "Say something stupid and I will do the same to you." Juvia interrupted Gray and looked at him with a dark stare. Gray stayed quiet.

"Boo, why are those 2 weaklings here?" "Get out of here!" "You don't belong here!" The Guild threw insults left, right and centre, just like 7 years ago. the only difference, it didn't bother Lucy or Juvia. Erza couldn't handle it anymore and unleashed her fury, "YOU FOOLS!" She yelled, "I WANTED EACH OF YOU TO GIVE ME ONE VALID REASON WHY YOU HATE LUCY AND JUVIA SO MUCH!" "They're weak, plain and simple," Macao said, the whole guild agreed with him. Erza then pointed her sword at him. "I LIKE HOW YOU SAY THAT WHEN NOT 5 MINUTES AGO, YOU WERE FLAUNTING ON HOW STRONG THEY ARE FOR BEATING NATSU AND GRAY!" The Guild thought in silent, Juvia raised her hand, "Erza that's enough, it doesn't bother us anymore." Juvia said. The Guild looked at her in shocked, "Exactly. Throw as many insults you want, it won't affect us, not anymore." Lucy added, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to return something." "What, like those rare keys? HA! can't believe those aren't even yours." Lisanna laughed. "Oh these are all mine, just one, doesn't belong to me." Then she put her hood back on, left the Guild with Juvia and headed towards Sabertooth. 

*Before Lucy and Juvia arrived at Fairy Tail* 

Lucy and Juvia decided to stop by Crocus before they went to Magnolia. As they were walking through the city, admiring the beauty, someone bumped into Lucy, "Sorry, i-i didn't mean to." "It's fine don't worry about it," Lucy said, but they ran off. "It's strange, she looked like Yukino, but more.......odd" Juvia said. Lucy looked back at the lady, she did catch a glimpse of her face. She had those brown eyes like Yukino, but her appearance is much different, her hair was tangled and messy, and her clothes are dirty. 

Suddenly Sting came up to them, "If you're wondering, that's Yukino." He said. Lucy and Juvia turned towards him. "Sorry, you seem like you know her, but she hasn't left her house in seven years. It was the war against Tartaros, she had to sacrifice one of her celestial keys, Pisces. it has broken her and I'm really concerned about her health." Lucy and Juvia eyes widened. "Yea, I should catch up to her. See ya around!" Sting said as he began to chase after Yukino.

Lucy took a key out of her pocket. "So that's why I have this," Lucy said while holding Pisces, the Two Fish.

*At Sabertooth* 

Once Lucy and Juvia arrived at Sabertooth, they opened they Guild doors and all eyes turned to them. "Hey, I remember you two." A voice said. "I bumped into you two this morning," Sting said as he walked up to Lucy and Juvia. They both nodded. "We've realized we haven't introduced ourselves but, I think you might remember," Lucy said as she and Juvia removed their hoods. "Lucy?! Juvia?!" The guild yelled, except for Sting. "I haven't seen you in years!" Rufus said, "It's good to see you're healthy after what happened" Rouge added. "How do you know about that?" Juvia asked. "It was everywhere 7years ago, they've probably forgotten, but we sure haven't," Minerva said. "It's good to know more people care," Lucy said with a smile, "Is Yukino here?" She asked. "Y-yes, I-I'm right here," Yukino said as she slowly walked up to Lucy. 

"It's b-been to long Lucy, Juvia." She said with a smile. Sting face lit up, "Now there's a smile I haven't seen in a while." He said while hugging Yukino, she blushed a little. "Why are you here Lucy? Are you here for something?" Sting asked. "Well," Lucy said while taking a box out of her pocket. "I have a little gift for Yukino," Yukino looked shocked, "M-me? what is it?" Yukino asked. "Just open it!" Juvia giggled. Yukino nodded and opened the box, she picked up what was inside and stared in shock. It was Pisces' Key. "Pisces, but how?" Yukino asked. "It was about 2 years ago, I was training with my celestial spirits when a lady came up to me with Pisces' key. She told me that it fell out of the sky. she wanted me to test if it was a real key since she couldn't because she wasn't a celestial wizard. I did and Pisces came. I tried to ask him why he wasn't with you, but he said couldn't remember anything. I told myself once we returned, I'd return it, it isn't rightfully mine, it's yours." Lucy said.

 Basically, all of Sabertooth was tearing up one because of the story and two, because Yukino was balling her eyes out. "Thank you, Lucy!" Yukino said while wiping her tears. Lucy and Juvia both smiled. "Well, I think it's about time we get back to the Guild," Juvia said. "Okay," Yukino said, "Thank you again, Lucy!" Yukino waved goodbye to Lucy and Juvia. They waved back and put their hoods back on, "Oh Lucy Juvia!" Sting yelled, " Don't forget to kick Gray and Natsu's butt" Lucy and Juvia smiled and walked out the door. Rouge went up to Sting, "Are you sure they can?" He asked, "I know Lucy and Juvia and strong but after 7 years, Gray and Natsu are much stronger." Sting chuckled, "They already have." He said. "What do you mean?" Minerva asked. "Before Lucy and Juvia came, I decided to visit Fairy Tail, I went in but no one was there, I went outside and Natsu and Gray were fighting 2 hooded figures, and were getting demolished by them. Turns out the 2 hooded figures were Juvia and Lucy. I ran back here to tell you but before I could start, they came." Sting explained, "They must be powerful to beat Natsu and Gray." Yukino said. "Yup, they've moved on," Sting said.

*With Juvia and Lucy*

"It was nice to see a smile on Yukino's face, don't you think?" Juvia asked. "Yea, I miss her smile, it must have been hard without Pisces," Lucy said, "Yea, hard to imagine," Juvia said back. 

The two girls peacefully walked back to their guild happy, that they could cheer up an old friend.
