XYZ….Fairy Tail

AN: I know this crossover is a little weird but I have it in my head for some months now, and I needed to write it. If we are just two or three people liking it, I will be happy!

Fairy Tail is probably better known than City Hunter or Angel Heart, but for those who don't know Ryo Saeba, I recommend you to read one of them (or watch but Tsukasa Hojo's drawings are beautiful). But I think you can understand the story nonetheless!
For the others, except Saeko (and maybe a mention of Umibozu) I will not use others characters than Ryo and Kaori. So this story can take place in the universe of City Hunter or Angel Heart, as you prefer. Let's say that Kaori is a little more than twenty years old.

The story will have two or three parts, I don't know yet.
I hope you'll enjoy it! Let me know!

I don't own Fairy Tail or City Hunter, they belong to Hiro Mashima and Tsukasa Hojo.


Part I: The message board

"Levy" Gray asked a bit worried. "Are you sure it will …?"

"Don't worry!" The bookworm replied as she drew the last rune to complete the magic circle around the ice mage and Juvia. "I will read the spell and you will be transferred into the other circle." She explained proudly and pointed at the other side of the guildhall where Jet and Droy were standing on either side of a second circle.

"Maybe we should try with something else first?" Juvia suggested with a nervous voice. "Like an useless object?"

"Good idea!" Gray approved with relief and checked around. "Ah! I find it! Natsu!"

"What!? You want to fight Ice Princess?" The dragon slayer groaned and raised his fists. "Are you scared of a little spell, cry baby?"

"Come here, Flamebreath!"

"STOP! RIGHT NOW!" Levy screamed pointing to the pink haired boy with her chalk in hand and Natsu froze immediately with the menacing aura emanating from the petite blunette as scary as Erza at that moment. "If you erase the runes, I swear…" She trailed off, her threat fluttering in the air and Natsu nodded a drop of sweat running along his temple.
"And YOU!" Levy turned towards Gray who gulped. "You were the one who complained about long trips and Natsu's sickness. I helped and found a spell which can transfer people from one place to another. You have to be the first one to try it!"

"Don't worry Gray-sama! Juvia is with you!" The water mage said to comfort him but her smile was tense and her face was paler than usual.

Defeated, Gray sighed and watched Levy as she grabbed her book. She came and stood before them, opening the book. Then she cleared her throat and recited the spell.
Instantly Gray's and Juvia's bodies glowed and the guild seemed to fade. The bad feeling in his guts returned and when Juvia grabbed his hand, he didn't mind because he was probably as afraid as her.
A wide smile on her face, Levy waved her hand.

"See you on the other side!"

And then the guild disappeared and the darkness engulfed them.

###

When he opened his eyes, he was lying into the grass and looking at the blue sky through the branches of a big tree.
He tried to stand and groaned. He felt so sore!

"Is Gray-sama okay?"

He lifted his head and saw Juvia standing a few feet away.

"Yeah. A bit dizzy. You?" He replied minimizing his soreness.

"Juvia is fine. Juvia woke up a little while ago, you will feel better in a few minutes."

"Where are we?"

"In a park. But Juvia doesn't think we're still in Magnolia."

Gray let out a new groan and passed his fingers through his dark hair.

"Great. I knew it wouldn't work. I shouldn't have agreed with Levy."

"Levy-san must have made a mistake with the spell."

"As you said… Well, what do we do now?"

"Maybe, we should stay here until Levy-san brings us back?" Juvia suggested a big smile on her face with the prospect to spend some time alone with her Gray-sama in a lovely park.

"I'm not a man of patience." Gray replied getting up and ignoring the pout on Juvia's face. "I want to explore this place first. We may meet someone who can help us. Come on."

A light pout lingering on her face Juvia followed him and tried to slip her arm through his but he step away and she ended up walking by his side with her hands behind her.
They walk through the park for a while before they met a middle aged woman who seemed kind but frowned at them when they tried to explain.

"Excuse us! We're lost." Gray started politely. "What is this city? We are mages from Magnolia, is it far from here?"

Her eyes darted between Gray and Juvia.

"We're in Shinjuku park, Tokyo. You probably want to go to some reunion with others anime fans, don't you? Well, you should ask someone else, I don't know where it takes place. But if you continue straight you will see Shinjuku station."

A bit confused, they thanked her and followed her instructions but once out of the park, they were amazed by the lot of people.

"Well, I don't know this city but it's sure it's big!" Gray commented.

"The buildings are so high Gray-sama! And there are so many vehicles!" Juvia added looking around with awe.

Soon they were lost and the people they asked for help had the same reaction as the middle aged woman earlier. Upset with the noise and the strange environment, Gray pulled Juvia in a narrow alley and sat down with his back against the wall.

"It's useless. We're completely lost and we have no money. And we don't know how to contact our friends. Or how to come back. We don't know this city. Nobody can help us. They look at us as we were crazy. Argh! What can we do?" He yelled in frustration.

"You can ask him." A voice said from the darkness of the alley.

Immediately, Gray got up and adopted a defense posture like Juvia.

"Oh, no, no, no. I'm not here to hurt you."

An old man walked in the light. His clothes were dirty and damaged, he had some mud on his cheek, but his smile was kind.

"If you're in a desperate situation, he can help you. Especially if you are a beautiful young woman." He looked at Juvia who could not help a light blush rising on her cheeks.

"And who is he?" Gray asked a bit annoyed with the last comment.

The man's smile widened.

"City Hunter."

###

"I don't know if it's a good idea." Gray mumbled as they followed the old man along the streets.

"Juvia agrees but this city is so strange. Juvia feels like a foreigner… as if… we were…" She hesitated as if her thoughts were too crazy to be said out loud.

"As if we were in another world?" Gray finished. "Yeah, I'm beginning to think that too."

"There. We are at the east exit of Shinjuku station." The old man interrupted them as he stopped in front of a large building where many people came in and out.

"So we have to go down into the hall and write our request on a board?" Gray repeated to be sure.

"The message board, yes. And your request must start with XYZ, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks." The ice mage said and walked away towards the front doors.

"Thank you very much sir." Juvia bowed gratefully to the man and then quickly reached Gray's side, missing the knowing smile of the man and his murmur "Ah, youthful love".

The hall was full of people talking, screaming and hurrying. Gray and Juvia made their way through the crowd and finally reached a board almost full of written messages.

"I think that it's." Gray said as he undone the first button of his shirt.

"Gray-sama…" Juvia warned promptly.

"Yeah, I know. I won't strip. I'm just a bit hot with all these people. So what are we going to write? 'A spell sent us in this world, please, sent us back?'"

"Juvia doesn't know. Oh look Gray-sama! Someone else wrote a request!" She pointed to a message in the top right.

"Hum? Ah yes. 'XYZ. Please, I need help with intimidating messages I received.' And then a series of numbers."

"Does it not remind you of the job board in the guildhall, Gray-sama?"

Gray hummed in agreement and watched Juvia took a chalk, but as soon as she started to write the three letters code a shout echoed within the hall walls.

"MOKKORI!"

Juvia turned just in time to see a man with black hair jumping and targeting her. Startled, she could not do anything, looking with wide eyes at the man who was followed by a … giant hammer?

"Ryoooooooooooooo!"

With a loud crash, the man was crushed onto the floor a few inches away of Juvia's feet. She stared at the young woman with short brown hair, dressed in jeans and a simple shirt. She was fuming, her hand grabbing firmly the handle of the hammer, but when she raised her eyes and saw Juvia's puzzled face she blushed and hid her hammer behind her.

"Ah, ah, ah! Don't mind him!" She laughed awkwardly. "He is an idiot. I'm sorry if he disturbed you…"

Her eyes lingered on the chalk in Juvia's hand and then on the board and the beginning of the code. She grabbed the man by his collar and yelled to his face.

"A client! How many times I have to tell you not to jump on the clients! You pervert!"

"I'm… not…the only pervert… here…" The man said with difficulty, strangled by the woman grip.

"What?" She asked surprised.

The man raised a hand pointing to Gray. Juvia and the woman turned their head and blushed immediately.

"Gray-sama! Your clothes!" Juvia screamed while steam rose above the woman head.

"Crap!"

As the two mages gathered Gray's clothes, the man asked his companion with a smirk "You're enjoying the view, don't you?"

"Sh…Shut up! I don't have your pervert mind!" She slammed him on his head and lifted up, clearing her throat. "Hum, sorry for that. Are looking for City Hunter?"

Juvia left Gray get dressed and turned towards the young woman.

"Ah! Yes! We need help. We're… foreigners but… we can't go back on our own. It's… a bit complicated. Someone told us that City Hunter might help us."

The woman smiled widely and grabbed Juvia's hands.

"Thank you! It's been a while since our last job! I'm so happy! We are City Hunter and we'll help you! Ah! My name is Kaori! Kaori Makimura! And the idiot is Ryo Saeba." She added with a nod towards the man behind her who stuck his tongue at her.

"Ah, thank you Kaori-san." Juvia said with a shy smile. "Juvia's name is Juvia Lockser and this is my…"

"Gray Fullbuster." Gray cut before she said "beloved" or something similar.

"Tssk. A man." Ryo grumbled.

Kaori sent him a death glare. "Don't start!"

"Okay…" He sighed deeply. "So, where do you come from and why can't you go back?"

Juvia and Gray exchanged looks.

"As she said: it's complicated." Gray answered. "Can we talk about it somewhere else?"

"Sure! We can go home, it's safe and you can relax." Kaori proposed politely.

At this point Juvia felt a presence behind her and then an arm encircled her shoulders and she was led away.

"You and the guy can go home! I know another place where this Mokkori-chan can relax too!" Ryo shouted and winked at Juvia who blushed furiously.

"E-E-Eh!?" She squeaked. "Juvia's sorry but she can't." She tried to protest but Ryo strengthened his grip on her shoulders and sent her a seductive grin.

"Argll!" He let out a strangled moan as Kaori stopped him by his collar while Gray put a hand on Juvia's waist and pulled her towards him.

"You're not going anywhere with the client." Kaori whispered into his ear with a cold tone. "Or I'll destroy the magazines you're hiding under your bed."

"Gr…Gray-sama!" Juvia stuttered with red cheeks, pressed against Gray's chest while he sent dark glares at the other man.

"I don't like this man, he reminds me of Lyon a bit too much." He growled before realizing their proximity and he let her go. "Sorry. Herm, well…What do you think? Can we still ask them? They're weird."

"Like our guild, Gray-sama." Juvia objected. "Juvia thinks we can trust them. And Kaori-san seems kind." She added missing the way Ryo paled with the threats of the said woman.

Gray arched a brow but didn't stop her nonetheless when she turned and said to the City Hunter couple. "Kaori-san? Before we leave, you have another request on the board."

Immediately, Kaori let go Ryo's collar and rushed towards the message board while her companion coughed and tried to catch his breath.

"It's true!" Kaori exclaimed, hands on her cheeks and eyes watering. "Two jobs in one day! I'm so happy!"

"Oi! Don't take it if it's from a man!" Ryo said but she ignored him and pulled a notebook from her pocket and wrote the request.

"Definitely weird." Gray commented.
