A beautiful red-haired woman leapt over a fallen log, a bundle clutched to her chest. The woman's name is Kushina Uzumaki, a newly made mother. One might ask, why was she running through the woods not even twenty-four hours after giving birth? The answer is a tragic one: her village had been attacked by a dark guild. Not just any dark guild, but one of the first guilds created, Tartarus. There was no reason, no motivation for the brutal slaughter, for what else could one call it, of her village. The village itself was small, barely two hundred people, and only a fifth of them knew any magic, herself and her husband included.

She almost stumbled as she thought of her husband, Minato Namikaze. When the attack had started, nearly an hour after her son was born, Minato had grabbed the two and took them to the edge of the forest with his teleportation magic and told her to run before going back to fight the demonic guild. Tears burned her eyes as she knew, deep in her heart, that her husband was dead. As she neared the base of a mountain that lay a few miles away from where her village once stood, she came across a clearing with a few stumps of fallen trees in the center. Panting, she went over to one and sat down, gently rocking the bundle still clutched to her chest.

Pulling the bundle away, it revealed a newborn baby that had rosy red cheeks adorned with three whisker marks apiece, a small crop of blond hair, and if his eyes were awake, they'd show to be crystal blue. Kushina smiled sadly down at her son before giving a violent cough, flecks of blood escaping from her mouth. The reason for this was the gaping wound on her back that was inflicted on her by some shrapnel when one of the dark mages blew up a building she was near before she could flee the village. That, coupled with the hours of running and the fact she was further weakened by having recently giving birth, Kushina knew her time was short but she held on for her son's sake.

Suddenly, a rumbling shook the clearing, causing Kushina to look up fearfully thinking that on top of everything else, an earthquake was occurring. A bright light, along with the smell of sulfur and brimstone suddenly came from the other side of the clearing and both grew stronger and stronger as the earthquakes increased in intensity. The surrounding trees were suddenly pushed to the side and the amazing sight of a dragon that was black as night and with wings that sparkled like a thousand stars. It was a beautiful sight if she ever saw one. She fell feeling her life slip away and she slid the child she carried towards the dragon with a smile.

She didn't know why she did it, but she had a feeling this dragon would do her the favor of protecting her baby boy. She gave a smile "Take... care of... Naruto..." she said and then the last of her life faded away. The dragon in question has a forked, black tongue with black scales with silverish-purple underbelly scales with silver teardrop scales by the corners of her eyes. The sun picked up glints of purple and deep blue on her body. She has dark green eyes. The underside of her wings are black and speckled with silver scales , giving it the appearance of a night sky filled with twinkling stars, allowing her to fly at night without detection.

The dragon looked at the child and sniffed him. He had a large pool of magic in his body so he would be a powerful wizard one day. Gently picking the small bundle in her hand she nodded to the woman before she opened her wings and took off making sure to leave the sleeping child undisturbed. It took ten minutes to reach her cave and get inside. She was tired during the day, weaker but not beatable. She knew with the war going on she wouldn't have time to train her newfound charge, but that didn't mean she didn't have a plan in mind. After all Zeref had proposed she find a child to train in her magic, and it seems that she found the perfect candidate for the Eclipse Plan.

Naruto gave a stretch as he woke up to a new day. He was excited to learn more enchantments from his mother, and he was already very good with them as his mother had said. His enchantments weren't like that of the Sky Dragon Grandeeney's were. His were based upon his power over the Moon and Night which in turn gave him his power. However that doesn't mean he doesn't know the enchantment's to improve one's power in the heat of battle. However this was the day where everything would change for him, and he would begin his journey into the world of wizardry. He would find adventure and love with some great friends by his side.

He looked around to see if his mother was up. However when he didn't see her he grew confused. Marigga was always in the cave so where was she? He walked out of the cave and cupped his hands over his mouth "Marigga!" he called out loudly listening as his voice echoed loudly. He did it again "Marigga, where are you?' he yelled out loudly. Now he was getting a little scared. His mother always called back that she was near, so why wasn't she replying to him. He ran back in the cave hoping to see if she was there trying to prank him. Unfortunately no matter how hard he searched he didn't see hide nor scale of his mother in the cave.

So when he couldn't find her in the cave he ran back out and looked to the sky with tears in his eyes "Mom where are you? Come back, I need you." he cried out hoping his mother would hear him. Where did she go, and why didn't she take him with her. This thought process in turn made him angry at his mother and Naruto growled "Why mom? Why'd you go, and why didn't you take me?" he yelled out. Why would Marigga just suddenly leave and not take him, he was her dragon slayer so she had to take him with her to teach him the ways of being a dragon slayer, but she wasn't here as he was now all alone now.

He looked to the treeline and began running not caring where he went so long as he found his mother. He would find her "No she's not gone. She'd never leave me, not on purpose!" he said as he continued to run through the forest in search of his mother. On and on he ran throughout the whole day. He eventually had to stop as he ran out of energy and it was nighttime. His mother always expressed the need for sleep, and so he made a small campfire to keep him warm as his mother wasn't there to keep him warm with her scales. Sitting near the fire he looked to the flames as if consoling them and made a vow "I'll find her, one of these day's." he said with a fire in his eye's.

December 15, x777

He didn't know why he had found himself here only that he felt drawn to this location for some reason. With nothing else on the mind he pushed the doors open and walked in. He took a quick glance over the room. Noting the largely wooden interior and bright colours that decorated what seemed like some kind of food hall. The atmosphere was quite warm if a bit loud and were it not daytime he probably would have had better appreciation for the familial feel about the room. As it was he was only grateful he wasn't standing outside anymore. It really did make a difference. Looking over the room a second time in search of someone to ask for the guild's master he spotted a boy who he guessed was about two years older then himself sitting at the bar.

There were other kids younger then himself, but he didn't figure they'd be much help in this situation. Twirling a piece of hair between his fingers he slouched over to the boy his bare feet not making a sound on the floor. He slid into the seat next to the boy and raised a hand, "Yo." he said the the teen. The blonde haired teen nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of the unfamiliar voice next to him. Spinning round in his seat he took note of the pale boy sitting next to him. He then realised that the boy was dressed rather oddly given that he was missing his shirt and his shoes. Never mind the odd way he'd wrapped material round the bottom of his pants.

"Hi," he greeted hesitantly. The boy looked back at him after the returned greeting though he continued to fiddle with his hair. "Can you tell me where I can find that master of this place?" he asked. Laxus raised an eyebrow, What does this kid want with the old man? Maybe he wanted to join, but just to be sure..."Why, you interested in joining?" he asked the younger teen. "Yeah," he replied quite simply. "Oh… a newcomer is it," said a voice behind them. Twirling round in his seat he came face to face with one of the shortest men he had ever seen. To be fair to the old man he hadn't seen too many people in his life, but still.

Even he was aware the man was tiny. Naruto was surprised though, that he hadn't felt the man approach. He had good senses, something being a dragon slayer had granted him. To be unable to detect him was… odd. He blinked at him several times. "Are you aware that you are an incredibly short man?" he asked the old man. The Guild Master nearly fell off the bar, "Yes I'm aware! You think I lived my whole life being unaware of it!?" he yelled at the pale blonde teenager. "Well, if you'd grown up in a village where everyone was the same height as you and no-one else ever visited then yes, I would assume you were unaware of your situation," he said as he looked it the man on the bar.

"Are you saying that just to mess with me or do you seriously think that?" he asked as he took another swing of alcohol from his bottle. "Both," was the deadpan reply. They stared at each other for several seconds until the old man laughed. Laxus shook his head, though a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Clearly the teen didn't know who he was talking to. He might be relaxed with his grandfather now, but if actually who he was he'd no doubt turn into another awe inspired little fanboy. Well, maybe fanboy was a bit harsh of him - the kid didn't look the type - but he was sure he'd be awe inspired anyway.

"What's your name kid?" his grandfather asked after he stopped laughing. "Naruto Uzumaki at your service," the pale teen replied after a moment's hesitation. "You?" he asked in return "Here it comes." thought Laxus. "Makarov Dreyar," he replied giving the youth a big grin. The boy accepted the name with a nod. "Nothing? Not even a twitch to indicate he's familiar with the name? Has this kid been living under a rock!?" Laxus mentally exclaimed. "I'm also, the Guild Master here," he added after taking several long gulps of his drink. Just what was wrong with this kid? Now that knowledge certainly got the boys attention.

The hand that had been twirling his hair froze and he looked at Makarov with a raised brow - now knowing how he'd snuck up on him. "Are you being serious or just saying that to mess with me?" he asked the old man. Makarov chucked the wooden tankard at him. Ducking to the side Naruto grinned. "So, you were being serious," he joked. The old man jumped to his feet, "Yes, I was being serious!" he exclaimed to the brat. Even Laxus laughed then. However, his laughter and the Guild Master's shouting was enough to attract the attention of the guild members - the younger ones mostly, the older ones decided it would be best to stay out of it and find out later on.

Ultimately they were just too lazy to get up and ask. A girl with red hair and a plate of chest armour on looked up from the table she was sitting at when she heard the laughter. It wasn't too often something got Laxus laughing. She frowned, wondering what caused it. That is until she noticed something she'd completely overlooked. There was a boy sitting next to him. How she'd managed to completely over look him was something she couldn't understand. He appeared to be about a year or two older then her with a long lean build, though it was clear he was in the middle of a growth spurt. His chest and feet were completely bare leaving him in only a pair of pants.

She shuddered and prayed he wasn't another Gray. She wasn't sure she could handle another stripper. Standing up from her lone spot at the table she made to walk over to the Master, only to find her pathway blocked mid walk by none other then the stripping boy she'd been thinking about only moments earlier. Gray. "Master!" he shouted. "Who's the half naked kid?" he demanded. Erza raised a brow. "Like he's one to talk," she thought, "and he really shouldn't talk to the Master that way." Raising a hand she smacked him on the head from behind. Sending him flying into the wall. Such uncouth behavior needed to be worked with.

Catching her movement the pale boy immediately turned his head towards her and stared for several moments with an odd look on his face, she was unaware he'd been surprised by her similar appearance to his human mother. Especially the hair. However, he seemed to become aware of the fact that he was staring and gave her a grin in apology. "What are you smiling about?" she asked feeling a bit… indignant over his odd reaction. There weren't many people who would smile about one child sending another flying into a wall and she was pretty sure most of them were in Fairy Tail. "Nothing really, you just reminded me of my mother for a moment," he replied not that she knew he was referring to both.

One for the hair colour and the other for her violent streak. The red head gave him a look somewhere between a scowl and confusion before turning her attention back to Makarov, "Master, who's the stranger?" she asked politely. "He said his name's Naruto, seems interested in joining the guild." Makarov replied. She turned her attention back to boy who now had his head resting on the bar and seemed much more interested in fiddling with his hair then anything they were talking about. Frowning she turned her attention back to Makarov, "Are you going to let him, Master?" she asked him curiously.

The old man shrugged and chugged back some more the drink in his tankard before replying, "I see no reason not to." he told the redhead. "Shouldn't you test his power first?" asked Gray, having recovered from his Erza induced wall slam. Makarov raised a brow, "Did you or Erza have to?" he retorted to the stripper. "No, Master," replied Gray sulkily folding his arms. He just wanted to see the guy's magic, was that so bad? "He doesn't have to anyway, he can probably sense my magic. It's a skill most mages put in the effort to learn, especially powerful ones," said Naruto from his slouched position. "Which is probably why he didn't test either of you when you joined the guild." he said.

"Oh…" said Gray feeling surprised. The teen's answer made sense though. Makarov never tested anyones magic when they entered the guild seeming to just know their magical power and even some of their abilities. "He must be good at this sense thingy," thought Gray. "Cana!" shouted Makarov, nearly scaring Gray out his last piece of clothing. A small girl with brown curls hanging either side of her face looked up from the cards she was busy placing on the table to scan the room. Finding Makarov, the source of the shout, she quickly shuffled her cards back together and hurried over, smoothing out the invisible creases on her orange dress.

"Master?" she inquired once she'd reached them her gaze shifting occasionally to the newcomer among them. "Can you get the guild stamp for me?" he asked. Her eyebrows rose as she nodded, taking one last look at the pale boy relaxing with his head on the bar before heading off to find the stamp. Quickly locating it she headed back over, rubber stamp clasped in her hand. Unfortunately for Gray she arrived just in time to stop Naruto answering his question about what kind of magic he used. Erza had also been interested in hearing the answer, though she'd never admit it, and found herself having to resist challenging Cana to a fight.

She would have punished the girl from preventing her receiving the answer. "Here Master," said the dark haired girl with a smile. He looked at the guild stamp in Cana's hands for a moment before looking back at the girl and giving her a smile, "Why don't you do it Cana?" he told the girl with a smile. "Me?" she asked in surprise. "Sure, anyone with the Fairy Tail mark is capable of marking another with the stamp," he explained. "Oh, okay," she murmured turning to face the pale newcomer. "So, where would you like it?" she asked him. "Like what?" he asked lifting his head up and rubbing his eyes. Cana frowned in confusion, "Your stamp, weren't you listening?" she asked.

"Not really," he replied playing with a piece of hair close to his eyes. Oh, he had been listening, but it was better they thought he hadn't been. That way at a later stage he was more likely to overhear people saying things without paying him much attention. Noticing Erza looked like she was about to turn her wrath on the teen she quickly intervened with an explanation, "Your official guild mark, everyone who joins a guild receives a mark to show they are a member of that guild." she told the kid. He thought about it for a bit before nodding and turning round, "Right shoulder blade on my back." he told Cana. "Colour?" she asked him.

"You can pick that?" he asked spinning back round on his stool. She nodded. "Oh, I'll take black anyway," he replied starting to spin round before stopping, seeming to realise something. Hopping off the stool he gave Cana a quick smile and knelt down so she could have easier access to his back. "Thanks," she muttered before marking his back with the official insignia. It glowed and shimmered briefly before settling on his back. Waiting for a few more seconds Naruto stood back up, giving the smaller girl a grin before settling back on the bar, his head resting on it sleepily. "He doesn't seem particularly excited about it," said Erza as she looked at the tall boy. "Seems pretty tired to me," replied Laxus. "Probably too exhausted to show much enthusiasm." he said scratching his head. Though they'd soon learn his attitude wasn't a one time thing.

As soon as the sun's last rays disappeared beyond the horizon Naruto felt it. Like his spirit that had previously been chained was now free from the constrains the sun put upon it. Shaking his limbs to free them from the last straggles of fatigue he jumped to his feet. Energy now flowing through his veins. "Alright, mission time," he said with a grin. "Going on a mission?" asked Laxus as he walked past. "Well yeah," he replied with nod. "Want some company?" the older teen asked him. Naruto paused and thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. "No thanks I'm fine." he replied to the older blonde.

Laxus shrugged not really caring "Sure, but before you go, there's probably someone you should meet," he said to Naruto. "Oh, who?" he asked Laxus with a chuckle. "We got a new member today, while you were sleeping," Laxus paused for a moment. Should he… nah. He looked at Laxus and shrugged. "I'll meet them when I come back." he told Laxus. "You sure? Could be someone interesting," he said jokingly. Naruto waved him off. He could here the hinting tone in Laxus's voice, but didn't care to pay it too much attention. He could meet them when he came back, easily enough.

It wasn't like they'd just wonder off and join a new guild while he was gone. Besides he had too much to do or at least he would when he picked out a mission from the board. Then he had to go and do the mission. After which he could get down to some training. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed money to survive he wouldn't even bother doing missions and would just continue his training constantly. He was so close to perfecting the dragon force state he could practically taste it. Unfortunately perfection remained elusively out of his grasp. He would find the secret to the almighty dragon force on his own some day. Without further thought he grabbed a flyer and read the contents and left to do the job.

The moment Naruto walked into the guild he was attacked. Although, a better description would be that someone attempted to attack him. Someone with pink hair who wasn't even tall enough to reach his shoulder, perhaps not even his chest. Someone that charged him with a loud yell. "Fight me!" the voice cried as he jumped with a fist full of fire at the blonde. Reacting instinctively Naruto stepped lightly to the side letting the boy fall past him before slamming his leg into the boys back. Sending him flying into the hard wooden doors. Blinking rapidly at the odd happening Naruto watched the strange human slowly peel himself off the door. Leaving a remarkable large indent behind in his place.

Turning round to face the rest of the guild who were staring at the scene he raised a brow and asked, "What just happened?" he asked confused at the situation. Before anyone could respond to the question the pink haired boy jumped back to his feet. Seemingly recovered from his body to door encounter. He jumped into what Naruto guessed to be some sort of loose fighting stance and started bouncing up and down on his toes. His body brimming with energy "Fight me!" he once again declared. Naruto furrowed his brow. "Why do you want to fight me little girl?" he asked the kid. Natsu froze where he stood. The punk had just called him a girl.

He was unfortunately unaware that Naruto had trouble differentiating between boys and girls when they were young. "I'm a boy!" he shouted swinging once again at Naruto's face and once again missing. "But, your hair is pink," Naruto pointed out most obviously. "So! What's that got to do with it!" Natsu yelled out. Naruto reached up to twirl a piece of hair with a confused look on his face, "Cana said that pink is a girls' colour." he told the kid. The girl in question quickly hid behind the bar. She did not want her new pink haired guild member to take it out on her. It wasn't her fault honestly. She'd just noticed Naruto had trouble telling the difference between them.

Apparently he'd had an odd upbringing. So, she'd decided to help in her own way being explaining clothing, hair length and colours normally associated with each. While Natsu certainly dressed like a boy and had short hair it was undeniably pink. Which she'd said to Naruto was a clear indicator the person was a girl. She damned her helpful nature. The small boy stared at Naruto in shock for several moments before sprinting away from him. Fists still blazing screaming for Cana to come out from where ever she was hiding. Naruto wasn't sure how safe that was inside a wooden structure, but ignored it. At least the kid wasn't badgering him anymore. The boy was just lucky it was afternoon and not midday.

Shaking his head in disbelief Naruto moved over to bar and slid into a stool next to Laxus still feeling slightly dazed by the odd greeting. He turned to face the taller boy. "I take it that is the new guild member you wanted me to meet?" he asked. "Oh yeah," he replied with a grin a teasingly lilt still in his voice. "Notice anything odd about him?" he asked Naruto. "Other then the fact that he attacked me and acts like an idiot?" Naruto asked Laxus. Laxus nodded. "He's extremely loud and will probably be the cause of many headaches in the future. Other then that… well, he did feel kind of familiar you know. Like I should know him or I've met him before even if I'm quite sure I haven't. I'm sure kaa-san mentioned something about it, but for the life of me I just can't remember what," he murmured is he fiddled with his hair in thought.

Laxus grinned. This was going to be good. "He claims to be a dragon slayer." Laxus said with a grin. Naruto paused for a moment to consider his words - and to get over the surprise of meeting another dragon slayer so suddenly - before nodding his head, "Marigga did mention something like that." he said in a thoughtful tone. He had actually forgotten about that if you want the truth. Laxus leaned against the bar "So how was the job?" the older teen asked him. Naruto shrugged his shoulder's "It was a monster extermination so it was fairly normal for me to do." he replied to the older blonde. Wasn't all that hard to do either as it was just forest vulcans.

He then thought of something. He had no place to stay for when he wasn't working and he looked to Laxus "Oi Laxus are there any apartments nearby that I can rent?" he asked the teen. Laxus nodded his head "Yeah there are several up for rent, why?" the teen asked. Naruto gave him a deadpan look "What do you think?" Naruto asked sarcastically. It then clicked in Laxus's head "Oh... right." the teen said before he motioned for Naruto to follow him. He felt like he'd seen one hundred apartments. He knew it hadn't been that many, but it sure felt like it. It wasn't like he searched for fault with every apartment he looked at.

It was more like the faults were thrown in his face. All of them had some kind of problem from the location to the money to the size. He just couldn't find the right one. But, now… finally now! He had found one that seemed just right. He didn't want to say it out loud in case he jinxed it or something, but he thought it might be the one. He didn't want to sound like a love sick fool either, but the place seemed perfect for him. A small one bedroom apartment near enough to Fairy Tail for a civilian to walk it in about ten minutes. It wasn't overly large for certain, but it was big enough for him. A small kitchen, living room and a clean bathroom.

It was also built in one of the newer buildings in town which meant it hadn't been lived in much before. Restraining the grin he felt like giving the landlord he checked round the place once more to make sure nothing was wrong with it. Other then the fact that it was largely unfurnished there didn't seem to be a problem. The walls were painted a nice pale cream, the floors a light wood colour and there didn't seem to be any sort of holes or infestation in the walls or ceiling. It was also a pretty decently priced. He'd only be renting, but that wasn't a problem. He was hoping to get a house when he eventually built up the money or when he made S-class.

Then he'd be able to consistently take higher paying missions. He doubted he'd easily find a mission that paid as well as the one he'd just been on. Spinning round to face the landlord he finally allowed himself to grin. "I'll take it." he said with a nod. His landlord, however, left much to be desired. The short man with hardly any hair on his head and an oddly shaped face that made Naruto think of salmon seemed unable to be incapable of smiling. His face set in a sullen frown full of disdain. "I don't accept any late payments, got it? I want that 80,000 jewels by the end of every month and if I don't get it you're out. I won't accept anything less, mage," he finished with venom.

Naruto raised a brow. Clearly the man had something against mages. He hadn't a clue what, but it was obvious the man wasn't going to suddenly turn into a fan of his at any rate. Sighing and automatically reaching up to tug on one of his shaggy locks he nodded. "Right." Naruto said to the man. "And I expect your first payment now," he said with a hand held out. Not wanting to give away how much money he had on hand Naruto waved him off. "I'll come by your desk later. Is that fine?" he asked. The man looked like he wanted to argue, but gave up and nodded. The boy wasn't going against what he asked after all.

But, he was feeling slightly dubious about the whole thing. For one the boy didn't look older then fourteen, he could perhaps push for a young looking fifteen year old, but the man doubted it. The boys growth pattern indicated a younger age. For two the boy was mage. That in itself was a big enough reason. Unfortunately he couldn't just turn the boy away. He was a paying customer and he'd been looking for someone to rent the room for a while. "Make sure that you do," he said to the pale boy before turning and leaving the room with a frown. "Thanks," Naruto said in thanks though the man failed to return the courtesy. Watching the man leaving the apartment waiting for the tell tale click of the door closing before quickly threw his bag to floor and running to the bedroom. It was nearly dawn and he didn't like the idea of staying up past nighttime.

And that is a wrap I will see you guys next time. Just to point out as a small spoiler Acnologia will die in the Tartaros Arc as I never liked how that worked. Explanation-He ripped out the souls of the dragon's and turned into a dragon. I don't like this idea so I am not having it happen so in this story the dragon's are fully alive though they are sealed inside their dragon slayer's. Also I did use some of the original writers sgcassidy's story so that is why it is so similar. Also Laxus will not have a power hungry Ego just to let you know as in this story I plan to have Ivan abandon him.
