Gray P.O.V

          After Juvia woke up, I was so relieved. I thought something really bad happened. Everything is happening so quickly. But to put the cherry on top of the crap cake, Erza walked in with a serious face.

         "We have suspicions. Its time." She stated seriously. I worriedly looked at Juvia. I stood up and nodded to Erza.

          "Here we go." I walked out the door passed Erza as she stayed for a second to say something to Juvia. I headed down the stairs to where all the other guild members were.

          They all stood, in front of the door. Mirajane stood in the middle sorting out the groups. All of a sudden she turned and stared at me. She pointed her slender milky white finger towards me.

          "Gray! You're in the group that protects Juvia. Don't you even dare finish walking down those stairs, go back up there and watch her!" Mira growled. I lowly growled back and walked back up the steps.

          I was about to open the door when Erza walked out before I could open it. "Good luck." She whispered, soon to disappear down the stairs. I shut the door behind me as I entered the infirmary.

          "Oh? Gray what are you doing back here?" Juvia asked as she noticed I came back in.

          "Im here to guard you." I answered. A big smile stretched across her face.

          "I'm glad," Soon, Lucy, Natsu, Levy and Gajeel walked in. Gajeel looked angry though.

          "Heyy! We're here to help guard Juvia." Natsu called.

          "I should be out there fighting, not in here doing nothing." Gajeel pouted. Levy punched him in his chest.

          "Oh shut up and deal with it." She glared at the tall iron dragon slayer.

Juvia P.O.V

          Gray, Lucy, Natsu, Levy and a scary looking person Lucy told me was Gajeel, walked in to the infirmary. I began to feel like such a burden again. I mean look at this. These people are basically my body guards.

          They are all putting themselves at risk, for me. Why did I have to run away? Shut up Juvia. If I never had ran away, I wouldn't have met Gray or any of my other close friends. Stop beating yourself up.

          I can either sit here and be a dead weight or I can get up and fight my battle. I cleared my throat to acknowledge the others that I was about to speak. They all faced me with a curious facial expression.

          "I know I'm supposed to stay here and rest, but I can't. I should be out there fighting with the others." Everyone looked at me as if I was stupid.

          "But Juvia, you don't know much about your magic. You can't run out there all willy-nilly." Lucy sighed.

          "This is my fault, my battle. Atleast let me make it up to you guys. I'll figure my magic out, I have to do this." I pleaded. They all looked at each other trying to figure out an answer.

          I got sick of waiting so I started to get out of bed myself. My body was so sore, but I didn't know why. I grunted in pain and Gray rushed to my side to help. I put my tiny pale hand in his large one.

          He helped me stand up. They all gave me a worried look. Then, Gajeel spoke, "If she wants to fight, let her fight." I gave a tiny hopeful smile to the others. Natsu, Lucy and Levy sighed in defeat and all muttered, "Fine."

          My tiny hopeful smile grew in to a large thankful smile. I then realised I still had my pajamas on. "Uh... Do we have any extra clothes I can wear?" I blushed.

          Levy walked me over to a small wardrobe. "We have extras, just in case of an accident." She whispered. I lightly laughed and looked through the clothes to find something that would fit.

           I found tight black pants, a dark blue shirt and to pull it all off a black leather jacket. I got changed in the bathroom and walked out. I swear I saw Gray blush, but I must be hallucinating.

          "Alright, let's go." I walked passed everyone.

         

          "Juvia, that outfit suits you great." Lucy complimented.

          "Thank you." I grinned.

          "So what's your plan?" Gray asked walking up beside me.

          "I don't know, wing it I guess." I always heard that in movies and it always turned out good. The bad thing is, this isn't a movie.

          "Wing it?! Are you crazy? You could get killed by just winging it."

          I stopped and put both my hands on both of Gray's shoulder. "Hey. Its gonna be alright." He stared me in the eye. I was hoping he wouldn't see the fear in my eyes. He stopped staring at me and we walked down the stairs.

          "What are you doing down here?" Mira panicked.

          "Helping fight my problem." I said emphasising the word 'my'. She was about to say something when three people flew through the door and landed in the back of the guild.

          "Juvia, where oh where are you." My breathe hitched and my heart stopped. Black hair. Yellow eyes searching the the guild. (Did anyone else picture him walking in swinging a cane at his side cx He didnt tho)

           "Step father." I mumbled. He turned his head towards me and grinned maliciously.

           Everyone got into a battle stance and stared at the evil man standing before us. "Ready to come home, JuJu?" He chuckled. How dare he use that name towards me.

          "Burn in hell." I growled. He pretended to be shocked by my use of language.

          "Such harsh language. You shouldn't have said that." The evil aura around grew bigger. Mira changed in to her demon take over, Erza changed her armor and everyone else prepared. I worriedly looked at Gray.

          Gray took my hand. "I told you, I'm here to guard you."

Heyy. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It took forever because I've been busy. I drove all the way from Texas back to Colorado.

But, here you go. Did you get the feels from the last sentence in this chapter? Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. Gruvia is in motion. If only it weren't for Juvia's stupid step dad. What should his name be? Does he deserve a name?

Anyway, I've decided to give you guys a name. How does the Karalites sound? Too stupid, okay I understand.
