GRAY'S P.O.V.

We finished setting up a camp and I noticed something about Raven. She is completley out of it, she can't focus at all. Everyone started making a fire and getting inside a tent. I saw Raven was climbing up a tree.

I saw her climbing up and I climbed up after her. She keeps staring out, deep in thought. "Hey." I say. She jumps but I grab her arm before she falls. "What do you want?" She asks me.

I smile and sit on the branch. She sits down next to me on the strong branch. "Soooo..." I say as she stares out. Raven doesn't respond as her long black hair whips around behind her. 

"Ok...whats your deal?" I ask which makes her glance my way. "You have no idea..." She says while staring out into space. "Hey Gray?" She said. "What?" I asked her.

"Could you get some clothes on besides your underwear?" She asked with a blank face. I looked down and saw myself in just my underwear. "AH!" I yelled and rushed down the tree to find some clothes.

When I reached the bottom I saw Raven was gone. I looked up more and saw her on a higher branch hidden. I climbed back up but she wasn't suprised that I came back up the tree. 

We sat there in silence as I watched her study the sky. "Raven?" I asked. She turned to me with her blue eyes staring into my dark blue eyes. "What?" She replied. "Are you ok?" I ask as she turns her head back to the sky.

"I'm fine." She was lying, I could tell. "I know your lying." I said but she still looked at the sky. "Why don't you just leave me alone." She says. She jumps up on to the highest branch on the tree. I climb up and I see her eyes staring at the sky.

She looked down and closed her eyes. Is she praying? She got up and jumped off. I shot my ice to catch her but it was to late. She was already falling face first. She flipped around in the air and landed perfectly fine on her feet.

She walked inside a tent and I saw Wendy was debating which tent to go in. I climb down and walk to Wendy. "Hey Wendy do you think I could sleep in the same tent as Raven?" I asked as she smiled.

"Sure!" She said and she walked off into a different tent. I walked inside to see Raven was staring at a blade. She looked up and stared at me. "I asked Wendy if we could switch rooms." I say and she nods. 

"Hey whats up with you?" I ask as I sit down next to her. "What do you mean?" She asks. "Well your not yourself your so..." I think of a word to say as her blade disappears from her hands.

"Emotionless." She says. I shake my head no. "More like different." I say. Then Natsu ran into the room and grabbed Raven. I followed them out the see that Natsu wanted her to make him a fire sword.

"Can I have a fire sword!?!?" Natsu asked excitedly. She nods in reply. "Make some fire." She said. He made some fire in his hand and she grabbed it. "YOU CAN HOLD FIRE!?!?!?" Lucy yelled obviosuly shocked.

She focuses and it started glowing and it turned into a long blade. It had a black handle with red wrapped around it as fire burst from the swords blade. She handed it back to Natsu and smiled.

"Like it?" She asked as Natsu swung it around carelessly. "ITS AWESOME!" He screamed then Erza grabbed Natsu by his hair so he would stop. "Maybe you should learn how to use a sword before you swing it around carelessly." She said while looking down at Natsu.

"I could." Raven says as Natsu's eyes become bigger. "Really?" He asks and she nods. "Its gonna be hard though." She says but Natsu ignores her and begins swinging the sword.

"Lets start!" Natsu said as he stood in front of Raven. She nodded and put on a serious face. She pretended to be unsheathing a sword then threw her arm towards the side as a long sword appeared in her hands.

"Lets duel first and see how good you are with a sword." She says as she stood normally while Natsu charged at her. He screamed a battle cry as he ran towards her. She deflected his move and hit his sword so it flew out of his hands and onto the ground.

The fire went out when Natsu dropped it and when Raven picked it up it burst into blue flames that flickered balck at the top. "Nice try." She says with a smile while she hands the sword towards Natsu.

He grabbed the sword and it changed into redish golden flames. "How about I make everyone a sword?" She says and we all smile and nod our heads. Everyone gives her a piece of her magic as she makes swords for everyone.

I gave her some ice I made and she focused her energy and made a long ice sword and when I touched the sword carvings started swirling on the blade. When it stopped I looked and saw a design of ivy made of ice.

"Woah..." I say as she looks up at me. "Like it?" Raven asks as I nod my head. "Ok I need to teach you guys the basics but I know one of you are already very good with swords. Erza I need your help." Raven said as Erza walked up with the sword Raven made her.

"Wait who would win if Erza and Raven went in battle?" Natsu asked Lucy as she shrugged. Erza and Raven talked about what to teach them first and we both agreed to let us duel each other first.

"I've never taught this many people before..." I heard Raven whisper to Erza. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll be a great teacher." Erza said while patting Raven on the back a little to hard. She stumbled forward but got her balance.

RAVEN'S P.O.V.

"Hey Erza, I can't really teach them my fighting tactics can you do that part?" I asked her as she looked at me curiously. "I was only taught to give my life for people." I said as she nodded in understandment.

"HEY RAVEN! I know you are a knight so can you teach me!?!?!?" Natsu asked while jumping up in front of me. "Natsu I can't do that. I am a soulless knight and if I taught you my tactics then you would uhhh well...you know." I said to a confused Natsu.

I facepalmed as little question marks appeared over his head. "Ok Natsu I will teach you." I said which made everyone shocked. I threw my sword up and it disappeared. "Natsu I will be training you but you must promise to never fully accept these tactics." I said but suddenly Natsu threw his sword at me.

Everyone gasped and jumped to get it but before they could I grabbed it causing the flames to change color. "I didn't think I needed to tell you guys not to throw swords." I said while handing Natsu his flame sword.

"Heh heh...sorry." Natsu said as I lead him to a clear area. I never knew that I would become a teacher one day...
