AN:Okay, this is my first story so please excuse any weird parts. Also Natsu may be ooc so please tell me if you have a problem with that.

Natsu had no idea what was happening. One minute he was lying on the ground, bleeding out after a fight gone wrong with those bastards from raven tail, and then he was sitting on a white chair in the middle of nowhere in front of some brat with wings.

... Wait a minute, wings!? What did he die or something?

Oh no, Erza is going to find some way to bring him and then kill him again in the most painful way possible. He's doomed. After watching Natsu sulk for a while with some bemusement, the kid/maybe angel decided to speak up,"In case you haven't noticed Dragoneel, you've died, but since you weren't supposed to die this early we decided to give a second chance by sending you to another world."

...Eh! Another world, but what about his nakama? "What about my nakama!? I can't just leave them!" Natsu was shouting and he tried to get up and say more when the brat stopped him.

"We've taken into account that you might feel that way and decided to wait until your 'nakama' have moved on to take all of you there." The brat actually looked bored as he was saying this, " In the meantime while you wait, we will be going over some of the major differences in this world so you don't cause a commotion when you get there. So the question of the day is, do you want to take your second chance or not?"

The kid could actually see the gears turning in Natsu's head as he tried to weigh the pros and cons of the offer. Keyword, tried. I can't see anything wrong with the deal, but I don't get what the kid gets out of the deal, even if this is apparently compensation for me dying before my time. Natsu isn't dense(contrary to popular belief), just really straightforward, and he knows that people don't give you things like this without expecting something in return. But with Natsu being Natsu, he just decided to be blunt about his concerns. "Okay first of all, who will be coming with me, and second what exactly do you want me to do there?"

The kid looked annoyed for a second when heard the first part, but then he looked...relieved? "Good, at least the guy we're sending isn't as dense as the reports said." Then he smirked and Natsu just knew he wasn't going to like this. "We need you to watch over the key players of that world and make sure fate doesn't stray too far off course. In simpler terms, we need you and your nakama to guard a certain Family for us and make sure they don't die early."

Natsu was getting ticked off, because what was with the brat and implying he's stupid!? "Fine, but why would they die early anyway? 'Cause if their so important to fate how would it let them die?"

"That's the unfortunate part, because we thought that for you too, but then you died on Fate's watch anyway, and we can't afford to take anymore chances." The brat was looking sorrowful for a moment, but then when back to the bored face he had on earlier, "Anyways, since you accepted I might as well start showing you the ropes of that world, my name's Allen by the way."

And so Natsu's years of hellish tutoring worse than Erza's began. Sometime along the way, Lucy, Gray, Juvia, and Wendy joined them as well, and when they told their tales of how they died the noticed something weird. The moment before they all died, they each saw a cloaked figure, shrouded in darkness, looking at them with a feral grin on its face.

One day, sometime in the fifth year that Natsu has been there, Erza and Gajeel finally showed up, and after a month of tutoring them, Allen transported them to Namimori, Japan, where they would find the people they were supposed to protect and begin their job/task thingy. The only thing they were worried about was that Allen was snickering. After a while, Allen stopped trying to be apathetic and showed his true colors to them(not including Erza and Gajeel, they left too soon), he was a devious prankster. But even though they didn't know he was a prankster, even Erza and Gajeel were shuddering because of the sadistic gleam in Allen's eyes.

Even though Allen was creeping them out, they were content to just get a move on and find the kids they were supposed to be protecting, at least until they looked at each other and started screaming, "When did you turn into a kid!? Why am I the same size as you!?" And then they figured it out and (surprisingly) screamed in unison, "Why the hell didn't you tell us this would happen! Allen, you bastard, get back here!"

So, in other words Allen turned them into 5-year-olds for his last prank.

Natsu - Tsuna(duh)

Erza - Hibari

Juvia - Mukuro and Chrome

Gajeel - Gokudera

Wendy - Lambo

Lucy - Ryohei

Grey - Yamamoto

AN: So was that good? Do you think I should change the pairings for guarding any? I couldn't really think of anything better than those. Oh, also how do you think I should bring Happy, Carla, and Panther Lily into the story? I'll do my best to update at least once a week, if not, I was too lazy.
