"Are you listening to me Juvia?" Gray sounded irritated at Juvia, while touching his mouth.

"Umm yes? Did Gray-san says something?" Juvia still blanked after what happened to her and Gray. She just stared at Gray all this time. Why did Juvia wanted to follow them? It was so stupid.. Juvia feels something heavy inside her chest..

"You REALLY weren't listening and stop staring at me. Its annoying.." He hissed and looked away. 

"Juvia was not--" Juvia replied then stopped. Maybe its not the time to talk with Gray-san now, he's not in mood. But should Juvia just ask Gray-san what he meant by that?

"You jerks what the hell did you do to my woman?!" Gray-san is pretending like Juvia doesn't know, like Juvia doesn't remember. Should Juvia act as if nothing happened? Juvia felt her heart was racing. She didn't know it was racing because of the shock that she experience or because Gray mention that she was his. 

Juvia kept on glancing at Gray. "You keep on staring at me, is there other place that bleeds?" Gray touched his face thoroughly. No, Juvia couldn't ask him after what Juvia had done..

"NO, no! Its just that Juvia was thinking about something. Yeah that's right, something haha" Juvia found her reason so Gray would not notice something strange from Juvia's behavior. She looked her surrounding instead of looking at Gray now. "Its not important, no worries" 

Juvia feels awkward now!

Gray then frowned at her. "Then why are you so flustered? Did you fall in love with one of those bad guys that you want to be with them awhile ago" He said in sarcasm. "I'm gonna over there, police need my statement." Gray moved to the entrance and discussed what happened to the police. Juvia took a deep breathe and calm her mind.

The men that bumped into Juvia was some perverts that tried to take Juvia away because of Gray, Juvia was saved. 

However, Gray was hurt and Juvia tried to feel relieve about it, Juvia thinks Gray deserved to be hit sometime. But deep down in her heart now, she felt guilty. 

The right side of his lower lip bleed and a bit swollen because of the fight earlier. Fortunately Mira called security. They came in and stopped the fight before it became worse. They took Mard and Invel away to police station. People in the rink whispered to each other after they saw what happened.

"HERE YOU GO!" Mira then popped AGAIN behind Juvia's back which made her startled again and winced. Her ankle was hurt after being kicked by Invel awhile ago.

"Sorry Juvia, I made you startled again. Here you can give to him." Small bandage was given to Juvia from Mira. Juvia winched again after moving. Juvia need to move slowly..

"You look hurt Juvia, you okay?" Mira asked in concern.

Juvia smiled at her. "Yes, Juvia's fine Mira-san, Juvia just need to sit down, been standing in this rink for awhile" She lied to Mira. "Oh its that so?" Mira questioned her. Juvia nodded but not convincing Mira. "You know, you can share anything me. I'm a good listener and adviser." 

"Juvia..doesn't that.." She whispered to Mira. Mira signaled her to go on. "It was nothing Mira-san, maybe Juvia are still in shock.." She shook her head, Juvia still look unsettled. 

"I'm so sorry Juvia, a young girl like you shouldn't experience that kind of stuff. All I can say what you did and how you felt during that time must be hard on you." Mira hugged Juvia and ruffled her hair. "Its not your fault for feeling confuse now"

Confuse?  Mira-san was right, Juvia am confused..

By that time Gray went back to Juvia again. Juvia was hoping Mira wouldn't go away. She didn't want to be with Gray alone.

"Okay~ I'm gonna leave you lovey-dovey together~ Byee~" Mira-san why?! She went away then turned towards us again, "Oh Juvia, don't forget the bandage okay?" She winked and waved at Juvia. Juvia  waved back at her.

How can Mira-san be happy after what happened to her rink?

Juvia looked at Gray who was next to her. He was folding his arms and closed his eyes. It looks like he's waiting for something. "Are you gonna give me that bandage or not?" 

Oh yeah! The bandage! How could Juvia forgot! Mira-san just mentioned this few seconds ago. Gray held out his hand to get the bandage however Juvia was flustered, she quickly applied the bandage to Gray's right lower lip which surprised him a bit.

"............" Why did he widened his eyes? He just stayed in silence, maybe he doesn't like Juvia applying the bandage at him. 

Juvia then started to remember something again. My woman. My woman. My woman. Argh! Those words really need to get out of Juvia's head! Come on Juvia it was just some nonsense words to protect you.  

"Juvia" Gray-san called Juvia, now her heart's starting to act up again! Calm down Juvia!

"Ye-ss Gray-san?" Juvia stuttered a bit.

Juvia look at Gray-san now, Did Gray-san notice anything? He's so serious now.

"You okay?" This is the first time Gray-san asked Juvia this kind of question. Maybe he was worried about Juvia? No, he's not why would he worry about Juvia? It doesn't make any sense. 

"Y--yes! Juvia's fi--nee.."

"What's with the stutter? If you are thinking about what I said before, it was just a joke." Gray went closer to her. "Since you always have hearing problem, let me repeat. Its a joke."

"OH! NO, Juvia wasn't thinking about that!" So Gray-san knew Juvia keep on thinking about his words. "AHH~ It was just a joke Juvia what the heck? Just a friggin' joke that made Juvia feel awkward and confused for nothing! Juvia feel guilty for nothing now!! Maybe they should hit Gray-san even more before they went away with the security!!" Juvia yelled in her mind.

"Why did you go somewhere knowing you will be alone?" He glared at Juvia.

Well duh, Juvia was upsets with Gray-san, don't he get it?  She folded her arms and looked away, she just stayed in silence. Knowing Gray wouldn't stop to critic her.

"You let those jerks touched you" Gray continued and Juvia opened her mouth in shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

Unbelievable! Excuse her, Juvia never had an attention to be touched by some men! Idiot! Gray-san baka baka baka!!!

"I know you're cursing me. Stop being stupid Juvia, you went with them like it was nothing."

Juvia is not stupid! Gray-san is!!!! If Juvia knew this thing would happened, Juvia would just stay at home!!!

"You didn't even tried to fight them" Gray then sighed. OHH maybe Gray-san is already tired, its time to stop talking now! Hnn! "Its a burden If you always do this.." Juvia frowned at him. 

What kind of burden that Juvia always did? She asked herself.

"Someone in this world might be worry and you'll never know.." Now his voice was softer than before. He then patted Juvia's head softly. "So don't run away next time Juvia"

Now only god knows why Juvia's heart beating so fast after Gray said that. The look on his face.. Gray-san seemed to enjoy this too. Maybe he will make fun of Juvia later on because of his joke again? What's wrong with Juvia's heart now?
