A Little Piece Of Heaven [Gray Fullbuster]

Do Somethin' Crazy Part 8

"When this is over I'm going to kill you!" I yelled at Constance.
"Uhm." Looking down there was a little pumpkin thing.
"Who are you?" I asked releasing my grip on the blast mage's neck.
"I'm Mato! The Grand Magic Games mascot. Are you the She-Devil?"
"Who's asking?"
"I would like for you to be the Fairy Tail participant in a special event. You will be battling, and you get lots of prizes if you win!"
"Go for it, Nora. It's time they finally see you." Constance reassured.
I was hesitant. Is this the best way to reveal myself to them? "Okay."
"Joy! Follow me then, 'kin." Mato squeeled and I began to follow.
"I'll meet up with the others." My friend waved me off and went to where the spectators enter.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We have a special treat for you! Before we get started on the tag team battles, there will be a survival battle with one member from your team. Now this member is not a participant in the games and is not a reserve member." Mato announced to the arena.
"Hey guys!" Constance yelled walking into the area where the rest of Fairy Tail awaited. "Oh wow! You must be the guys I heard so much about! It's so good to finally meet you! I'm Constance Leeroy and have been a part of for six years! Nice to finally meet you!" Constance waved.
"Constance, if you're here then that means the participant for Fairy Tail is..." Macao started to say and all the members of the guild that were not in a seven year long suspension all had looks of fright on their faces and hid behind various objects.
"What's wrong?" Master Makarov asked.
No one dared to say a word and listened the announcers began to rattle off the names.
"Dobengal from Sabertooth! Sherry from Lamia Scale! Lita Merrin from Mermaid Heel! Billy Noid from Blue Pegasus! Akira from Quatro Puppy! And the She-Devil herself from Fairy Tail, Nora McGarden!"
"What?!" All the members from Fairy Tail that were in a slumber screamed as they saw the little girl they left behind turn into a woman as she walked out.
"She-Devil?" Erza questioned. Gray was staring at Nora, is that really the girl that he trained when she was younger.
"She uses a type of magic that really no one has seen. She may not even use it to be honest." Constance informed them being cryptic. "But I will tell you this. When you gain this type of magic you get that mark on your arm." All eyes went to her arm and saw a tattoo mark on it.
"I've only heard rumors of that type of magic." Mavis thought outload.

As I walked out into the arena as my name was called, I heard scattered whispers. Well, here goes. I looked around the arena and saw them. My family is back, it's true. That's when I met eyes with him. My teacher, Gray. A small blush crossed my features. Oh man, why am I blushing!
"Go!" Mato screamed.
"Doll Attack: Rock Doll!" Sherry began to use the rocks that made the wall of the arena to be a base for her rock doll and sat in it's head.
"Requip!" This Lita girl had summoned a large scythe. She swung her scythe sideways and a black tornado lashed forward and directly hit Dobengal.
"Dobengal is out of the fight!" One of the announcers yelled into the microphone.
"Terrain Effect: Land Cave-In!" That wizard Billy, had opened the earth and had it attempt the eat Lita, Sherry, Akria, and myself, but mainly geared for me. My body encased itself in yellow, and I shot out and slammed a fist into Billy's face sending him back. But looks like that Akira kid got stuck in Billy's magic.
"Billy Noid and Akira are no longer able to fight!"
"That was meteor. That's Heavenly Body Magic." I heard some of my guildmates whisper.
"Where did she learn that?" I could vaguely hear Gray.
Sherry charged forward and the rock doll went for a punch but before it could land a hit on me, another black tornado came and incapacitated Sherry.
"Sherry is unable to battle!"
"Looks like it's you and me now, She-Devil." Lita cooed.
"Why does everyone call me that." I questioned myself. It was a bothersome title. It wasn't a cool nickname like Erza's, Titania. No I get She-Devil.
"I will be the one to strike you down!" Lita raised her scythe to the air and summoned several large tornadoes at once.
"That's all you can do?"
"What?"
When that single word passed her lips, I stretched my right arm out, and all of the tornadoes froze solid and shattered to pieces.
"I'm not done yet!" Lita quickly regained herself and raised her scythe above her head and brought it down. A black tornado intertwined with lightning shot in my direction.
I took a deep breath in and exhaled. "Ice Devil's Rage!" A slew of wind, ice, and snow overpowered her attack and sent her flying.
"Lita has been incapacitated! Nora is the winner!"
I heaved a sigh and began to walk back into the stands where the others were so I could finally meet everyone again after all these years.
Constance met me at the door before entering. "They missed you." Was all she said before opening the door. Bright light blinded me as I looked at everyone's gaping faces.
"What?"
"Nora!" Levy cried as she jumped into my arms.
"Levy!' I held onto my cousin tightly. Tears wanted to spring from my eyes but I forbade them. They wouldn't be real tears anyway, they would just instantly turn to ice. "It's been far too long." She placed her hands on my shoulder and looked at me from an arms length. I was several inches taller than her and she gently grasped my hair and began playing with it.
"It's so long. See I told you, you'd be beautiful with long hair, and you're tall, and..." Her words stopped as she looked at my chest. "and big."
"Levy!" I cried, folding my arms over my chest. She only laughed at my response.
"I think there's someone who wants to see you." Levy spoke looking up at the balcony where the active participants of Fairy Tail were waiting.
"You're right." I nodded to the rest of the guild and began walking to where their section was. I kept trying to take deep breaths to calm my nerves. This will be the first time in seven years that I see them, see him. I slowly open the door and was met with five people. Laxus, Gajeel, Natsu, Erza, and Gray.
"Hey guys." I whisper. "Long time no see." They all stare at me, taking in how my appearance has changed in seven years. "What do I got something on my face?"
Erza was the first one to walk up to me. "You have grown into a fine young woman." She pat me on the head as she began to make her way to the arena.
Laxus walked by and nodded his head at me. We never talked back when due to him being excommunicated but guess that's no more.
Gajeel placed a hand on my shoulder and walked off with the other two.
Natsu was next. "Hey, let's fight some time!" He had that cheeky smile he always wore and tapped our shoulders gently. A promise to fight one another one day.
Lastly, it was Gray. I was extremely nervous. Gray had placed himself in front of me.
"Nora." That's all I needed. I jumped forward and wrapped my arms around his neck and let a few ice tears fall to the ground and shatter. Him saying my name, made it all feel real, this wasn't a sick dream.
"I'm so glad. I'm so glad you came back!"
"I promised you, didn't I?" He returned the gesture and hugged me back tightly. We slowly pulled away after a few moments.
"Yeah you did and you kept that promise. But, I bet I'm stronger than you now!" I said proudly and held up my right fist.
"Hey you got a tattoo!?" Gray's voice yelled as he gripped my arm.
"It wasn't one I wanted to get willingly. Well, kind of?" I questioned my own sanity as those memories wanted to come back. "Anyway, I'm glad you're back. Now don't you have a battle to go win?"
"You're right, you still gotta tell me what I missed in these seven years."
"Of course!"
"I'll see you soon." Gray walked away and raised a hand as a motionless wave.
"Uh, Gray?" He stopped in his tracks and as he turned around I captured his lips with my own. Gray had tensed up but slowly relaxed into the kiss. He pushed back gently almost unsure of his own actions. I slowly pulled back my head and saw his flushed cheeks but he wasn't the only one. "Looks like there's still some stuff you have to teach me, if you'll take me as your student again."
Gray placed his forehead against mine, "I'll have to test you first." With one last gaze into what felt like my soul, Gray walked away to join with the others.
When he was out of sight, my fingers went to my lips, remembering the feeling of his on mine. "Wait, what does he mean he has to test me first? Gray Fullbuster!" I screamed as my face was flushed.
