章 96: Hunting Grimoire Heart
(Jason's POV)
"Oi, Jason!" I heard Gray call out to me
I stopped and turned around, seeing him walk up to me.
"Where are you going?" He asked me
"Where do you think?" I said, "To hunt Grimoire Heart."
He gave me a serious look, "Hey, Man." He said, "I know you're mad and I completely understand your anger, don't get me wrong. But you can't just bull-rush at an entire Dark Guild without a plan."
"I do have a plan." I said, "And its beating their fucking ass, Gray. Especially the bastard who hurt Kagura."
"Zancrow, huh?" He said, "Yea that guy is a piece of work."
I clenched my fists, "He's gonna fucking pay..." I growled, "I swear on it. I'll fucking kill him...."
I couldn't feel anything but fucking anger in me.
"Look, man, listen...." He started, "Grimoire Heart didn't just attack and hurt Kagura, okay? They harmed innocent people. We're not gonna stand by and just watch. Fairy Tail is going to war with them if we have to."
I turned around, "I don't care."
I felt his hand on my shoulder, "I'm serious here man." He said, "I heard from the Master. He said that he sent the Thunder God Tribe to locate them. They'll scout things out for us first and when they find it, they'll call us. We can't just rush in this blindly. Listen to me, Jason. Let us help."
Somehow, he made a good point. I had no idea where to look for them. I didn't even know if they were fully complete. I heard something about Jellal recruiting former members of the Balam Alliance as a way to avoid imprisonment or some shit.
But at the moment, I had no clue where to look. These Dark Guild Mages are elusive and slimy rats.
"Lucy and I could join you." Gray said, "Natsu and Happy are going with Erza to Magnolia and discussing with the Master our next move. Aside from sending The Thunder God Tribe, we really don't know what to do without breaking protocol. Ever since Tartaros, the Magic Council has been on our asses."
I gritted my teeth, "And Kagura?" I asked
"I think she'll go with Erza." Gray said, "I'm not entirely sure."
I didn't know what to do. All that was on my head was going to that piece of garbage, Zancrow, and bash his fucking face in. That's all I cared about at the moment, I didn't care about anything else. I wanted to fucking kill him.
But I suppose taking it slow and calmly is the right thing to do.
I nodded, "Fine." I said, "I'll listen to you, for now. We can track them down together. But when we find them."
"Let me handle everything."
*********************************
It's been a couple of days since Lucy, Gray, and I began our journey on tracking Grimoire Heart down. I knew that they had their airship and all, but there had to be a point where they temporarily docked or something.
We had no luck in getting any clues as to where they were. And there was no word from The Thunder God Tribe. All we could do was chase empty leads, I suppose.
We were in the middle of the woods around a campfire in the middle of the night.
Lucy had her hands over the fire as it was a bit chilly tonight. Gray merely sat on a log and stared at the fire.
I sat leaning on a large rock as I, too, stared at the fire.
There were long moments of pure silence. None of us said a word as we just sat there. I didn't feel like speaking and I could tell Lucy and Gray were feeling awkward because of it. There were times when I caught Lucy glancing at me with a concerned look on her face. I didn't know what to say to her at the moment. There was simply too much on my mind.
I supposed we were gonna be quiet like this the whole night.
Finally, Gray spoke up.
"I know this may not be the most appropriate time to ask this....." He said as he looked at us, "But I have to."
Lucy looked at him, "What is it?"
"Are you two together or something?" He asked
Lucy blushed slightly and looked at me, "I....uh...." She said flustered, "N-No.....!"
I shook my head, "Not necessarily, why?" I said
"Well, I know what you two do when nobody looks." He said, "I'm no idiot, after all. I was simply wondering, that's all."
"You were wondering if Lucy and I were together?" I said, "When Kagura, who was carrying my child, had a miscarriage?"
He looked at me, "I....Uhm...." He said, "Well, the thing is...she made it clear you two were nothing but a fling....I mean, Erza insisted on knowing."
"Gray! How insensitive to ask such a question!" Lucy scolded him, "I'm so sorry, Jason!"
I shrugged, "It's all good." I said, "We're all adults here. I think we can have this conversation."
Gray raised his eyebrow, "Oh?"
I pointed at him, "I know you and Juvia had sex once." I simply said
Gray widened his eyes in surprise, "W-What?!"
Lucy blushed, "What? Really???" She asked Gray
Gray didn't respond as he was still sitting there in shock.
"Yea, but the idiot fumbled the bag." I said, "If you're gonna ask if they're together, don't. They're not."
"How'd you know?" Gray asked
"Juvia told me." I said
"Juvia told you??" Lucy asked as she looked at me, "When?"
"Before you called for me." I said, "We talked."
Gray looked at me, "Just talked?"
I shrugged again, "What do you think?"
Lucy gasped, "Jason." She said, "With Juvia??? Really???"
Gray didn't say anything and looked down.
"That's not a problem, is it Gray?" I said
He shook his head, "Not really." He said, "I....well..."
I gave him a serious look, "You broke her heart, you know that right?" I said, "She told me she saw you with another girl."
"Gray!" Lucy exclaimed, "How could you???"
Gray rubbed his hair, "I...." He said, "I don't know!"
I leaned back, "I didn't want to have sex with her..." I said, "Out of my respect for her feelings for you. But she was too heartbroken to even care."
Lucy looked at me, "Is she okay?" She asked
I nodded, "She should be." I said, "Last I spoke to her, she was fine."
I looked at Lucy. I am positive Juvia mentioned this to her before. Why was she acting surprised? Did she not want Gray to know she's the one who suggested to Juvia to have sex with me?
Doesn't matter.
"All that aside." I said, "Gray."
He looked at me, "Yea?"
"You mentioned a contact." I said, "Where are they and when are we meeting with them? The sooner we meet them, the better. I have to do this quickly."
Before Gray could answer, I sensed multiple presences around us.
I stood up immediately, "Enemies." I said
Lucy and Gray both got up in alarm as well.
"What?" Gray said, "Where?"
I was gonna answer when I heard a voice laugh, "Oh it's just us, silly."
I turned to see two women in cloaks walk up to us. One of them had black hair, the other pink hair.
I saw Gray widen his eyes, "Oh!" He said,
"Ultear!"
