Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic, and its a Naruto x Fairy Tail crossover. So please forgive me if I make any grammatical, spelling errors etc. Also, the characters might be a bit OOC so I apologise in advance for this. All reviews will be appreciated, including those from flamers.
"This is all I have to tell you. I want you to live the rest of your life without regrets. You have fallen into darkness once, and I believe you will not do so again. You might not see me again, but I will remain with you in soul and spirit," the booming voice reverberated throughout the cave.
"Raiden…will we meet again?" a little boy's voice followed. Much as it belonged to a little boy, the voice was matured, brimming with experiences of pain, loss and regret.
"I believe so… But you are taking this news better than I had expected. I am proud of you, Raizen."
"Raizen? I'm not Raizen, I'm…" he was cut off by the dragon's booming voice.
"You will need an alternative identity. Imagine how much confusion you would cause by revealing your real name." The dragon then flapped its wings and launched its majestic scaled body into the air out of the cave.
The boy watched his foster-parent leave with an expression of indifference, to mask the pain he was feeling inside that he was so used to.
The rain pounded relentlessly against the asbestos roof of the guild. The members were huddled next to one another, shivering in cold. Cana and Erza were sitting in a corner, hugging themselves or warmth. Even the "demon" Mirajane was cowering in another corner. The temperature was so torturously cold that – hey! – even Mirajane and Erza forgot to fight!
THE TWO DEMONS WEREN'T FIGHTING! Hey, don't push your luck, its probably just for one day. Well, back to the story, Natsu and Gray were practically the only ones not affected by the cold. In fact, they were standing in the middle of the guild, bickering as usual. One was spouting insults hands engulfed in flame, while the other was retaliating, standing in just his boxers – yup, no surprises there. Master Makarov was clutching his glass of half-frozen beer, muttering weakly "Kids…there's always a time and place for everything, even fighting…"
BANG.
The guild doors slammed open with a loud sound, and a cold draft swept over the already shivering guild members of Fairy Tail. A young boy with raven-coloured hair stood in the doorway. His hair was plastered to his face and he was thoroughly wet. Strangely enough, he wasn't wet. He looked small and harmless but Makarov Dreyar could sense the powerful aura and the huge amount of magical power emanating from him. And what freaked him out more was that the kid was suppressing his aura. "Damn, he's probably as strong as an S-Class Mage!" Makarov thought in awe.
"Is this Fairy Tail?" the kid asked. "Yes, how may we help you?" was the curt reply. "I want to join this guild." Makarov asked, "Kid, what's your name? And who are your parents? Where are they?".
"My name is Raizen Uzumaki. My parents were killed many years ago. I was raised by a dragon," the kid replied unflinchingly.
His last sentence caught Natsu's attention and the entire guild turned their heads towards the newcomer. "So…dragons really do exist? Natsu wasn't just lying then?"
Natsu immediately bombarded Raizen with questions "What was his name? Is he still alive? Do you know Igneel?" Raizen replied calmly, "His name was Raiden. A lightning dragon. Yes he's still alive but he disappeared on 7/7, year X777.
"Igneel disappeared on the same date as well. Never mind that, if you're a dragonslayer you must be super strong! FIGHT ME! YOSH I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Natsu exclaimed, to which the rest of the guild sweatdropped. Makarov facepalmed. He said, "Later, Natsu. Now, if you will, Raizen, please indicate where you would like your guild mark and in what colour? "Purple, on the side of my neck."
"Very well then. Raizen, you are now officially a member of our Fairy Tail family." Makarov smiled. He decided that much as the kid was a mystery, he could not refuse a person in need of help, especially an orphaned child. Raizen allowed a warm smile to creep onto his face. "Now then, if you would, please fight Mirajane so that we can gauge your power and magic."
"Master, I think that Natsu or Gray or maybe even old-hag-Erza might be a better match for the newcomer. I will not be needed," Mirajane replied smugly. Erza sunk a gauntleted fist into Mirajane's face and so broke out another brawl between the two. "ENOUGH! Mira, you will do as I say and I think we all had better not underestimate the newcomer, " Master Makarov commanded. "Uhhh master how about we leave it for tomorrow? I'm sure none of us want to watch a battle in this freezing weather," Macao pleaded. "Very well."
Cliffhanger! ^^ Wanna know Raizen's real identity? Hint: He's from Naruto. (NO DUHHH) Sorry for such a short chapter next ones will be longer, don't worry.
