Lucy had been having a bad week so far. Natsu had roped her into going an illicit s-class quest, whose client wanted them to DESTROY THE MOON of all things. Then The bad-bitch of fairy tail herself came out and decided to play soccer with her ego, and finally her strongest key decides to revel in her embarrassment and tease her and her teammates to no end. Speaking of which...

"Hey Natsu?" Said one blonde nuisance, "Y'know how much Gray sucks?"

Natsu grinned in mirth as Gray, as usual, just ignored him and looked determinedly up at the sky. "Yeah why?"

Naruto to looked at him cheekily and said, "Well times that by 10 and you have a pink haired dim-wit with a fire complex."

"I am not a dim wit, damn you!", Natsu fired back hottily.

Lucy attempted to play peacemaker yet again and interjected with,"Do you two really have to do this here and now of all times?" Throwing a pointed look towards Erza who was just out of earshot ahead of them.

Grey decided to answer for them with,"Just stay out of it Lucy, if flame brain wasn't arguing with whiskers he'd just be bothering me."

Lucy groaned in defeat. She was TIRED, damn it. She really didn't wanna' hear idiot number one AND two make jabs at each other, which would eventually end up with Erza somehow involved. And all this would then just hasten their already imminent death by whatever Master Makarov decided was prudent at the time. Which, judging by the hand that had decided to somehow touch her butt on her first day there...

'- no Lucy think happy thoughts, like kittens... ' which inevitably made her think of Happy. ' Damn it!'

-meanwhile-

"Then why, pray tell," Naruto started smartly,"did you think that destroying a few support pillars in a pyramid would make the thing TILT, instead of, y'know COLLAPSING ON TOP OF YOU!?"

Natsu had the decency to blush at that.

"It worked didn't it?!"

"And your also the luckiest idiot I know," Naruto sighed then smiled,"besides, of course, yours truly."

Natsu glowered, "There you go with that "I" word again. How 'bout I put a flaming fist in your gut, huh?"

Naruto yawned, and in the middle of said yawn, Natsu decided that he'd had enough crap, and made good on his promise of a flaming fist. This had a dominoe effect of making Naruto essentially puke out a Bijuu dama... That happened to be heading straight for the moon.

Everyone just stopped. Including Erza, who looked about ready to blow up. And speaking of blowing up... A nuclear flash of light caught their attention.

They all just stared as the moon just split like an overcooked cookie.

"Owwwww, I don't feel to good." Naruto complained, holding his stomach, "Luce, I'm going back home, 'Kay?"

Needless to say he didn't get a response, and with a poof he was gone.

-back in the demon village-

The people didn't know how, but the village had somehow magically rebuilt itself.

Everybody was celebrating, the reconstruction of the village in mind.

The party stopped when they noticed the flash of light and then the disappearance of a certain foul rock in the sky.

Then the the party kept going with all the more vigor.

-across the ocean, land of fire-

Obito Uchiha looked at the stars. They were so pretty this time of year, and really it was the only truly innocent setting in this world. The sheer limitless space up there above the human's corruptive grasp... It was beautiful.

Especially the moon. It was full tonight. But it seemed to have disappeared behind some clouds or some such because he couldn't see it...

Ah, well, as long as it shows up for the "Eye of the Moon" plan...

Poor Obito, you have no idea...
