I don't own Fairy Tail or Naruto. I only own the Fanfic. Some of the characters may be different than they actually are, and may have some of the traits from my previous fan fictions, but don't bother me with that stuff!
Prologue - Intro to the Two Worlds
~Gray's side of the story~
He was just entering the building when he heard a familiar voice; a voice he hated to hear.
"What's he goin' on about now?" he thought to himself as he looked in the direction of the voice that he hated to hear the most. He heard that voice call out to him.
"Hey! Gray!"
His attention snapped to the guy who had called him. "What do ya want?"
"Aw come now Gray don't be so grumpy." The other guy said as he put an arm around Gray; only to be instantly pushed away. "My, my. Aren't we cross this morning?"
"Oh piss off Lyon." Gray said with a glare to the white haired guy on the other side of the room
"What's got ya all upset this morning? You're never like this?" A girl said as she approached Gray.
"It's none of your business."
"Oh?"
"Just you and your little guild leave me alone!" Gray said as he walked toward his group of friends.
One of his friends turns his head to see Gray, but he doesn't look too happy. "Hey Gray. What's got you so angry this morning?"
"Yeah Gray; you're usually just tired in the morning." A blond headed girl added.
"It's not really that important Lucy, Natsu."
"Well anyway I had a question for ya."
"What?"
"I mean outside."
"Oh right. Of course." Gray said as he and Natsu walked out; passing a blushing girl with blue hair who called out to him last minute. "Gray-Sama!"
Gray turned to see the girl running toward him; catching the attention of Lyon; making him jealous of Gray. "Juvia. What is it?"
"I noticed that ya looked a little "off" this morning and I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to help ya feel better in anyway." Juvia said; her hands behind her back and her arms looking like they were intertwined with each other.
"It's nothing, but thanks for the offer Juvia."
"Of course."
Gray and Natsu walked outside; it was bright so both of them were then squinting so they could still see; when Gray made a suggestion. "Why don't we go in the shade so that we don't burn our eyes out?"
"Right."
They walked into a shaded spot so that they could talk, but as they did Gray spotted something out of the ordinary - a portal as it seemed.
"What the hell?" He thought as Natsu started to talk while Gray wasn't even listening. Gray saw people walking by; not even taking a glance at the portal; until he saw on boy; the age of fifteen by the looks of it; noticed the portal and examined it.
"Huh? Who's he? Where does that thing lead to?" Gray thought before snapping himself back into reality to hear Natsu's last sentence:
"What should I do about talking to Lucy about this sort of thing?"
"Uh...you should just be your silly ol' self like you normally are and tell her what's goin' on in your head, but try not to confuse her; that is a major key in situations like this one."
"Alright yeah. I get what you're sayin' now. Thanks Gray." Natsu said before running back inside; leaving Gray to wonder what the other side of that portal was like.
"Oh just forget it Gray! You're losin' it! It's just an illusion." Gray thought to himself; shaking his head to try to snap himself out of his gaze.
Juvia looked outside and saw Gray, and ran outside. "Gray-Sama!" She called.
Gray turned to see Juvia running at him. He opened his arms; allowing the blue haired girl to run into them. "What's up Juvia?"
"It's Lyon again! Tell 'em to leave me alone! Please."
"Okay, okay. Just gimme a sec." Gray said getting an ice spell ready. He walked inside and saw no one in the room except for Lyon.
Lyon watched as Gray walked into the room with Juvia following behind him; trying to stay out of the way. "Oh how gentlemanly of you Gray." He teased.
Gray glared at his white haired opponent's remark. "Heh. Something you're obviously not capable of doin' Lyon."
Lyon looked past Gray and Juvia to see a portal; a raven-haired-teenage-boy was inspecting it; trying to figure out where it lead to, but ended up just shrugging and walking away:
"Hm. Interesting young adolescent is he? Curious much?" Lyon thought before snapping back to reality with the sound of Gray's voice; him yelling slightly.
"Well?! Are ya gonna do somethin' other than just stand there or am I just wastin' my time here with ya?" Gray questioned.
Juvia put a hand on Gray's shoulder; making him turn his attention on her. "Juvia?"
Juvia just shook her head. "You're just wasting your time Gray-sama. It's not worth the time he's taking to make the first move. Let's go."
Gray nodded. "Right. I have better thing to do than wait here all day for this loser to make a move." Gray said taking Juvia by the hand; making her blush, and they walked back outside to practice their magic.
After a good forty-five minutes of practice Juvia became tired. "I'm gonna go home and go to bed. I'll see ya tomorrow Gray-sama." She said with a tired smile.
Gray smiled back. "Okay. Night Juvia." He said before he kissed her temple.
Gray went home as well and was going to bed when his phone rang. He looked at his phone to see who was calling him at 10:00 pm. "Ugh! Natsu what do ya want." He said as he accepted the call. "Hello?"
"Hey Gray."
"Natsu...what do ya want?"
"I wanted to say thanks for the advice you gave me earlier and I was hoping to get a little practice in tomorrow."
"When?"
"Around 11:45 am. How does that sound?"
"That sounds good, but I might be a little late. You know how it is."
"Oh yeah I know. Ya don't have to tell ME twice, trust me Gray."
Gray smiled and then sighed. "Well I need to sleep. Meet me tomorrow in the back of the guild. Okay?"
"Right. Got it. Night Gray."
"Night." Gray said before he hung up to go to sleep. He just couldn't stop thinking about what he saw beyond the portal. "That guy. Who was he? What was that place? Why was there a portal leading to that world? There are too many questions to be answered about that thing. They go on forever...probably never goin' to be answered too." Gray thought before drifting off to sleep.
Lyon on the other hand couldn't sleep at all because of the portal; it was stuck in his mind and was never going to come out unless his questions were answered. "Who was that guy? What world was that? Why is there a portal that leads to that world in the first place? I wonder what that guy's name was. Well whatever it is; for some odd and random reason; there's just something about him that makes me want to know more about him and something else that goes along with this curiosity of mine; almost like a one of those weird feelings that's in one of those fairytale movies or TV shows. He seems very extraordinary even though I've never even talk to him before. It's a very weird feeling, but I just can't figure out what it is at the moment." Lyon thought before he drifted off to sleep as well.
The next morning came; bringing a pleasant awakening for Gray, but not for Lyon.
Gray woke up; fully rested and ready to do some practice with his ice magic. He got out of bed and ate something for breakfast. He then took a shower and glanced at the clock after he got out of the bathroom from his hot shower. "Huh. Only 10:55 am. Not bad." He thought before getting dressed and going to the guilt to meet Natsu behind the building.
Lyon woke up shortly after Gray left for the guild, but his awakening wasn't as pleasant as Gray's; it wasn't even close to how pleasant Gray's was, but he got up anyway. He got dressed and ate something. He then left for the guild as well.
~Sasuke's side of the story~
The genin was training with his sensei and his friend; training to control chakra movement, and how to conceal it from the enemy; in which both the boys were able to do; mostly because they were working together. They were able to beat their sensei in a small sparring match with concealing chakra and controlling it as well.
"Well you two I have to say are getting along much better now. Good job. That's it for today; it's getting a little late to still be training."
"You got it Kakashi-sensei!" The genin with spiky blonde hair replied.
The other boy simply smirked. "I think what he means Naruto is that we were able to work together better and we should keep up the good work, but yeah it is getting' a little late isn't it?"
"You said it Sasuke." Naruto said with a goofy smile on his face; teeth showing and all.
"Precisely. Good analogy Sasuke." Kakashi said.
"Thanks."
"You two should think about heading home; it's getting dark." The jounin said.
"Right." The boys replied nodding.
"Sasuke! Naruto!"
The two genin's attention turned to a pink haired girl running toward the three guys.
"Hey Sakura! What's up?"
"Oh not much. Hey Sasuke?"
Sasuke lifted an eyebrow and tilted his head slightly. "Huh? What is it Sakura?" He asks
"Can I talk to you alone please?" Sakura asks.
The genin looked around. "Yeah sure...I guess." He said with a shrug.
Sakura smile and led him toward the gate to the training ground. "Okay. So I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Would you possibly consider going out with me? I promise to make you happy in any way you want me to." She asked blushing.
Sasuke's face turned a little red, but not red enough to see. "Uh...I...I don't know..."
Sakura looked puzzled. "What's wrong Sasuke?"
"I-it's just that I-I'm not really ready for stuff like that. I-I mean really if I thought I was then I really would sure, but maybe later in time. Sorry Sakura."
Sakura's face turned an even deeper red at the sound of his saying he would if he thought he was ready for something like that. She hugged him. "Okay. I understand Sasuke. I can wait too. We can wait together." She said pulling away to look into his onyx orbs.
Sasuke smiled a little. "Okay then." He said as he turned to walk back over to Naruto and Kakashi; only to be stopped by Sakura grabbing his arm, and his attention went to her again. "What is it?"
"Do you think I could hang around with you and Naruto? It's kinda too dark to walk back by myself ya know." She says.
"Yeah sure. Just don't get too scared when we walk home. Alright?"
"Alright." Sakura replied
Sasuke and Sakura walked back over to Kakashi and Naruto.
Kakashi nodded toward Sasuke:
"You're walking Sakura home? This is new."
"Oh shut up!" Sasuke said as he gave a slight glare to his sensei.
Kakashi laughed. "Okay, okay. I'm gonna head home so I'll see you three later." He said before disappearing in a puff of white smoke.
Naruto looked over at Sakura and Sasuke and smiled. "So are we goin' home now? It's startin' to get real dark out."
"Yeah come on." Sasuke said as he turned to walk away.
"Hey Sasuke?" Sakura starts.
"Huh?"
"You wouldn't mind walking me home would you since Kakashi-sensei gave me the idea?" She asks.
"No. I guess not." Sasuke says with a slight shrug.
Sakura smiled and held onto Sasuke's arm, but not too tight like he hates. "Thanks Sasuke." She cooed.
A warm smile crept onto the raven haired genin. "No problem." He says with a small sigh in his voice.
As they walked home Sasuke kept feeling like he was being followed and watched; making him finally stop.
Naruto turned to see Sasuke looking around and then in one final direction. "What is it Sasuke?" He asks.
"Yeah what's wrong?" Sakura asks as she looks up at the Uchiha.
"I feel like we're being' followed and watched, but I can't exactly tell what or who it is."
Naruto got on his guard; along with Sasuke and Sakura. "Let's be careful then." He says.
Sasuke nodded.
"Alright." Sakura whispered.
There was a rustle of the brush behind Sasuke; making Naruto's attention turn to that spot. "Sasuke! Look out!" He says.
Sasuke looked to where Naruto was looking and immediately saw a sound ninja jump out from the brush; in attempt to kill him.
Sakura ran to Naruto's side so she wasn't in Sasuke's way. "Be careful Sasuke." She says.
"I know." Sasuke says as he gets in a fight-ready stance.
The sound ninja was fended off by Sasuke with ease. They found themselves in a standoff in the clearing of the Leaf Village Highway.
Finally Sasuke decided to break the silence between them. "Who are you and why are you here?" He demands.
"I'm here for the Uchiha Prince. I need to know..." The ninja says before he pauses.
Sasuke gulped.
"I need to know what your name is young man." He finishes.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, but I'm no prince, and I know that for a fact."
"There are no other Uchiha. You're the boy I'm looking for, and there's no mistaking it." The ninja says.
"How can you be so sure?" Sasuke questions.
The sound ninja held up a picture of the "Uchiha Prince" that he was looking for. "This is you, yes?" He asks
"Yeah that's me, but I don't understand."
"The Uchiha Prince was said to be the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki therefore he is of high value to my leader."
"What do you mean by "high value to your leader"?"
"That's not of any importance now. You must come with me now. No further questions unless you're coming with me."
"Well then I guess I don't need any more information. You'll just die where you now stand." Sasuke stated confidently.
"You'll regret saying that Ten Tails." The sound ninja said before running at Sasuke.
Sasuke easily fought the sound ninja; out beating him in everything he had to fight with from ninjutsu to taijutsu and everything else in between.
After about ten minutes of the fight the sound ninja was defeated by Sasuke; he lies dead on the ground at the genin's feet.
Sakura looked at Sasuke with concern in her eyes as she ran over to him and hugged him. "Are you okay?" She asks
Sasuke groaned a little; making Sakura let go.
"Sorry. I didn't think that you'd be hurt. Do ya want to me to treat them when we get to my house?" She says.
Sasuke shook his head. "No. I'm fine; they're just bruises; nothing else."
"At least le'me look at them later then." She insisted.
"Alright fine."
The three walked home. Naruto had to go a slightly different way than Sakura and Sasuke so he said his goodbyes and walked the rest of the way home.
Sasuke and Sakura got to Sakura's house. She let him in and sat him down on the couch to look at his "bruises" from the fight.
Sasuke winced a little.
"See I told ya they were worse than ya thought they were Sasuke. Please let me patch them up. I'm worried about you." Sakura says.
"Okay, okay. You can patch 'em up, but please try not to take too long."
"I know." She said before walking over to a cabinet and taking out a first aid kit. She sat back down next to Sasuke and treated his wounds from the fight.
After Sakura finished she looked up to see Sasuke asleep.
"I can't just let him fall asleep here. He would get mad at me later." She thought to herself before gently shaking Sasuke awake. "Sasuke. Sasuke wake up."
"Huh? What? Oh hey Sakura."
"You should go home and get some rest; you look very exhausted from that fight, and plus you were training a lot today. Go home and sleep Sasuke. Naruto and I will come and see ya tomorrow 'kay?"
"'Kay." Sasuke said standing up.
Sasuke disappeared and reappeared in his room when he remembered something. "I might be goin' crazy, but I thought I saw a portal-like thing while walking home, but I really think I'm imagining things." He thought as he shook his head. "Just forget about it. It wasn't really anything important anyways." He reminded himself. He got dressed and went to sleep, but didn't fall asleep until at least thirty to forty-five minutes after he got into bed. He eventually fell asleep, and only once did he wake up because of the portal, but after that he stayed asleep.
The next morning Sasuke woke up to hear Sakura and Naruto knocking on his door. He got out of bed and got dressed. He brushed his messy raven locks and opened the door to see his team mates.
Sakura smiled. "Hey Sasuke. Sorry if we woke ya." She smiled sympathetically.
Naruto scratched the back of his head and laughed. "Yeah. Sorry Sasuke."
Sasuke still had a tired look on his face, but a small smirk crept onto his face. "It's okay. I needed to wake up anyways."
"Ya don't look like ya needed to wake up." Sakura said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm fine Sakura." Sasuke says.
The pink haired girl studied the wounds she had patched up the night before and saw that the patches had fallen off in his sleep, but there were no wounds in the place of the patches. She became confused. "Sasuke?"
"What?"
"Where did those wounds go? Ya know...the ones I patched up last night."
"Huh? Oh those?" He asked as he placed a hand on a spot where a wound was.
"Yeah those." She replied nodding.
"I dunno. I woke up and saw that they were gone, but I felt so much better. It was weird."
Kakashi appeared. "Hey guys. What's up?" He says.
"The wounds Sasuke got last night are gone now; like they were never there to begin with." Sakura says.
"Hm. Le'me take a look." He said walking over to Sasuke; past Sakura and Naruto.
The jounin pulled the collar of Sasuke's shirt down and saw no signs of any wounds ever being on his neck and assumed that they were gone everywhere else too. He then spotted a crown birthmark of the side of his neck. "This is strange..."
Sasuke looked back toward his sensei. "What is it?"
"There's a strange mark on this side of your neck."
"Huh? A mark?"
"Yeah. It looks like a gold crown."
"A crown?" Sakura asked.
"Look."
Sakura walked over and saw the gold crown on Sasuke's neck and gasped.
"Whoa. It is a crown!" Naruto said looking at the mark as well.
"Was that always there?" Sakura asked.
"How should I know? Only Sasuke's parents or his brother would know, but are they here?"
"No." Sakura answered.
"Exactly." Kakashi said as he let Sasuke's shirt collar go.
Sasuke felt around on his neck to try to find the crown mark.
"How could I not have known about this?"
