The next day, in a forest outside of magnolia Yami and Erza where have a spar
Yami stood with his katana pointed towards Erza.
{requip; flight armor} her speed increases as she attacks Yami.
With minimum movement Yami easily dodges all her attack. Using his Ki, he predicts were she is going to attack and move before it reaches him.
Tracking her movement Yami puts his sword directly where she was going to move. This made Erza to forcefully dodge the attack but because she was moving very fast it was hard for her to keep balance so she fell on the floor.
"I have already told you increasing your speed won't do you any good when it comes to me" he said as he helped her up.
Yami always had the advantage when it comes to pure swordsmanship with his KI, he can easily keep track of all her movement in advance.
"I know but" Erza was a bit down as she felt that she wasn't strong enough
"Come let go get some strawberry cake before we go back to the guild"
"Yes" she was back up the moment she heard cake.
He and Erza have been quite close during his time in fairytail. It will be a lie if he said that he doesn't have feelings for her it just she has closed her heart off not letting anyone in.
'Seems he has to wait till she can finally move from her past till then I will wait' Yami said in his heart.

After getting the cake, both of them made their way back to the guild. When they arrived the member were moving around nervously.
"What's wrong?" Yami asked the master as he didn't understand what was going on.
"*sigh* Nastu and Lucy took a S-class quest"
"What!! An S-class quest"
'Ahh so that's what happen' thought as he had forgotten about this part of the plot.
"Yeah we already sent Gray to get them"
"That like adding oil to a fire or it's ice?" Yami said with an amused smile.
Erza supported "that's right knowing gray he'd probably join them instead"
"I will go bring them back myself" Erza said
"I'm coming too" added Yami, as he isn't to miss out on the fun too
With all things said and done the quickly left for the town of Hargeons after them Nastu
.
.
.
After "getting a ride" on a pirate ship Erza and Yami finally reached the island.
"Do you really have to take it that seriously?" Yami asked Erza whom was keeping a stern expression
"They broke the rule and they must be punished for it" she said
"I already fell pity for them" Yami as he thought about the punishment the master will give them.
They move inside the Island when they suddenly saw Lucy punching a pink haired girl. Falling the girl seems to say something. Then a huge rat suddenly jumps at Lucy. Erza move as she knocked away the rat with a single kick.
"Yo Lucy~" Yami said
"Yami!! Erza!!?"
Erza glared at the blonde "I think you know why we are here."
"To take us back?" she said in a small voice.
A blue cat came flying "Lucy, I have been looking for you everywhere. I'm glad you're oka-" happy suddenly stop when he saw Erza. He tried to run away but he was caught by Erza.
"So where are Nastu and Gray?" Erza asked.
Lucy tries to explain about their circumstance but Erza was unmoved. Yami didn't say anything but looked at the purple sky ignoring the plead for help by happy. After that Yami and Erza walk toward the village. Before they left for the village Erza ties up Sherry and drags her back to the village with them. All of them were sitting in a rundown house along with Lucy and Sherry was still tied laying on the ground. She woke up a few minutes ago but she didn't want to offend them so she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Erza sat down on a chair waiting for them "I will give them a piece of my mind"
Soon a down cast Gray walked inside. When he entered inside his faces completely turned pale. Erza was waiting there with a dark expression on her face.
Erza said "Now let's go back."
Gray: I can't go back I need to do this.
Erza pulled her sword out and Lucy freaked out after she saw that. She wanted to protest too but she was also scared.
Erza was angered "Care to repeat it again?"
Gray didn't budge "I can't return, I need to do this. I owe this to my late master"
Erza was about to say something but Yami put his hand on her shoulder.
"At least let's see what going on here then we can decide." Yami said
Erza agreed "I guess, we can do that. Now explain."
After that Gray starts to explain everything in detail about all that has happened before Gray joined the guild and what Lyon was doing here. How Lyon was trying to release the seal on Deliora. It was already noon when Gray finished his story.
"Ok, then will we will deal with it." Erza said
"thank you" Lucy and happy said.
"that isn't going to get you out of punishment you know" Yami said.
