Hey guys! Long time no see and I am really sorry about that. As I have said before I am in highschool and I don't have much time to write. I know this story is already taking a long time to come out but that is because I have major writer's block. Hopefully I can get something out in the future but for now I MIGHT be taking a break from this story until my writer's block leaves me. I will be working on rewriting 'When Her Life Changed Forever' in my free time since I know where I want to go with that story. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter even though it doesn't have as much action as I would have hoped.

Chapter #4 - The Mission Begins
Gray's POV
"Navy come here!" I called out to Navy who was sitting at a table in the corner. I had been teaching her how to better use her magic. I was surprised that someone as young as she was had as much magic as she did.
"I'm coming Gray!" She yelled as she got up from her seat and walked over to had a bounce in her step that made me smile. She had just as much pain in her past as I did. I mean it's a miracle that she showed up when she did. I don't know what would have happened if she didn't show up when she did. I was slipping further and further into depression each day. I was planning on leaving this world on that day but when that girl showed up I had a feeling that the girl that Erza had found was important. I guess I was right because if I had followed through with my plans I would have left my beautiful sister all by herself in this world.
"Navy, we are going to work on you magic some more. Is that ok with you?" I asked as she walked outside with me. She nodded and looked at me with her large dark blue eyes. I guess that was the only other difference between us beside our gender. My eyes were droopy and hers were big and round. They always sparkled when she was happy.
"Gray can I show you some of my own forms?" She asked as we walked over to our usual training spot behind the guild, the same place where Natsu and I used to fight.
"Of course you can." I said and her eyes filled with joy, "Remember Navy it's ok if you hurt me. I've been in fights with the flame brain before!" I finished with a laugh.
"Ok! Watch!" She said as she stood in her ice maker form. "Ice make, solitary confinement!" She yelled as a large box surrounded me. The room she created had no flaws, it was pitch black and it seemed to be getting colder and colder. I tested the strength by attempting to break out but found that nothing would work. Navy dissipated the box and I looked at her in shock.
"Wow Navy! That's really impressive!" I said whilst patting her on the head. When she used her magic she usually used the same forms as me, such as my lance and hammer, but when she used her own forms I was always surprised by what they were. They were always things like cells or weapons. Her most powerful attack seemed to be her whip but she seemed disturbed whenever I asked her why these things were her form.
"Thanks Gray!" She said bouncing up and down in joy, "Oh look! It's Lucy and Natsu!"
"Oh hey guys! How have you been?" I asked as the couple walked up to us.
"It's been fine I guess. How about you Gray?" Natsu replied with his familiar stupid grin.
"Yeah you seem a lot better than the other day!" Lucy said giving me a concerned look.
"Yeah I am… I think it's all thanks to this one here." I said as I patted Navy on the head.
"Graaaay…" Navy whined as she tried to pull me along with her. She grabbed the back of my shirt and tried to get me to work more with her but I had thought of a better way to teach her magic.
"Hey Natsu, Lucy, do you want to go on a mission with the team and bring Navy along with us? Nothing that hard of course but since she is going to be joining the guild soon I thought we should start taking her on missions with us and I know that you needed some food money Natsu." I proposed. Natsu and Lucy both nodded and Navy's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Really!? I get to go on a mission with you guys?" She asked nearly jumping up and down from her excitement.
"Yup and I'm pretty sure that Erza's coming too." As soon as Natsu said that Navy pulled my shirt and squealed.
"Erza too!? This is gonna be so cool!" I nodded and told her to go get her stuff packed while Natsu and Lucy went to chose a mission.
Navy was lying sound asleep on my back. The job we were on ended up being one in another town and since Natsu had insisted we took a fighting job. I wasn't happy about it at first but I realized that it wasn't that big a deal. Navy knew how to fight and the job was just a simple guard job. As she snuggled up against my back I turned and looked at Natsu. He was walking with Lucy whilst holding was, as usual, carrying his stuff on his back but now he was also carrying Lucy's stuff. Erza was walking next to me pulling her giant cart of bags and I was carrying both my bags and Navy's.
"Erza I think that we should stop at an inn tonight. Navy is already asleep and I think we could all use some rest." I said as I pushed Navy up farther on my back to keep her from slipping.
"He's right Erza. I am really tired and Happy looks like he is about to pass out any second now." As Lucy said that Happy agreed with a quiet grumble about fish. We were lucky because the next town was the town where our job was to take place. Erza nodded and when we got to the town she got us some rooms for the few days that we would be here. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had one room and Erza, Navy, and I shared the other.
As I opened the door to the room I reached over and turned the lights on. The room had 2 large beds and some dressers. Erza started unpacking her clothes while I changed Navy into her pajamas and laid her down under the covers of one of the beds. After putting her in bed I went and helped Erza unpack all of our clothes and store them neatly in the dressers and closet. After that Erza went to take a shower and I changed into some pajamas I bought. In the past I would just sleep in my boxers even when we were out on missions because the guild saw me like that all the time but since Navy was sleeping in the same bed, let alone room, as me I thought that it would be better to wear something, I turned off the light leaving a lamp on for Erza and I crawled into the bed next to Navy. As I drifted off to sleep I felt Navy curl up next to me.
Okay so if you guys have any ideas or suggestions feel free to leave them in a review or pm me. Your ideas are very likely to get into my story since I don't know where to go with this story yet and yes I know that this chapter was really short but I just wanted to get something out for you guys. I hope you enjoyed!
