Hey guys, I know it has been a while for anyone who reads my, admittedly embarrassingly bad practice stories, but I got a break from my job and I watched the most recent season of Fairy Tail and a realization hit me hard. Sting and Rouge resemble Naruto and Sasuke like Gildarts resembles Shanks from One Piece; so I came up with this… Fairy Tail's Twin Dragons.
Humans speaking " Hakuryuu no Hoko"
Dragons or demons speaking "Hakuryuu no Hoko"
Northern Fiore, Year x769
From the outside, the cabin didn't stand out in the wood in which in was built. It had a quant, rustic appeal to its one floor structure and its two windows were ablaze with a yellow light from candles, but looks can be deceiving.
It was the home of two people, Kushina Uzumaki and her son Naruto. The word around town was that Kushina was a witch and conjured demons leading to the natural conclusion to why the boy's father had no presence was because she had stripped him of his soul or eaten him. The story differed from person to person.
"Naruto-chan! Come inside, it's getting dark outside."
"Coming Kaa-chan!" the exuberant reply came as a young boy around the age of four dashed through the woods. He had bright yellow hair coupled with blue eyes. His most distinctive mark was the scar that crossed his left eyebrow and the light sun tattoo on his right hand. "Is it dinner already?"
"Yes and you're late." Kushina's scolding came from a hatred of tardiness of any kind. "Where were you?"
"Just in the woods. It's nothing to worry about."
Kushina rolled her eyes at the flippant response. "And you know better than to play off where I can't see you. It isn't safe out there. There are monsters and beasts which could carry you off and eat you; what would your beautiful mother do if she lost her only son who she loves?"
Naruto began to snicker, distorting his features. "If you're so beautiful have another kid."
Kushina smashed her wooden spoon down on her son's head. "I don't want to hear any sass out of you young man. Now march!"
Naruto mumbled something under his breath that his mother didn't catch as he walked over to the table where a large bowl of soup awaited him. He clasped his hands together in a short offering before pulling apart the two sticks and began to dig into his meal. "Hey mom, how come we never go into town?"
"Is that where you were? You shouldn't be going there; the people don't understand people like us."
Naruto frowned. "Is that why they call you a witch?"
Kushina let out a sigh. Why, out of all his father's good qualities did he have to up his penchant for curiosity and involve himself in things he doesn't need to be? "In this part of the country magic is rare; exceedingly rare. You and I both have it and those that don't fear it; humans always fear what they don't understand. That and the few mages who have come from here have been exceptionally skilled, like myself, your father, and his teacher before him."
Naruto nodded, not because he really understood what any of that meant but that's what people do when someone else is talking. "When am I going to start practicing magic? I bet that I'll be really good at it. Maybe I'll be even better than you or… dad!"
"Well you have to learn how to read first, but if you really do want to surpass me and father you are going to have to train very hard. We're exceptional mages." Kushina then went on and on about how great they were as a team and while Naruto listened with rapture she could only think how proud of her son she really was. He cared so much for the world around him and those in it.

Sasuke Uchiha walked reticently through the halls of his family's castle. No one would tell him where his brother was.
Suddenly, a hand placed itself on his back. "Hello Sasuke, I hear you have been looking for me."
Sasuke's whole body shivered as his body turned. He was wearing different clothes from that morning Itachi noted, but otherwise looked the same. He held their family's black hair and trademark red eyes, not to mention his unique moon-like birthmark upon his hand.
Barely containing the girlish scream that threatened to release itself from his lips, Sasuke turned to face his older brother, Itachi. "I-I was," that stupid stutter he was still scared, "hoping you could help me practice my magic."
Itachi looked at his brother in silence and notice Sasuke shiver slightly under his gaze. He reached his hand out once again and poked two fingers to his father's forehead. "I'm sorry I cannot. Father wants me to study more this evening."
Sasuke's eyes drifted down. Father always wanted Itachi to do extra work, but he never had Sasuke do it. Sasuke would never admit, but that really made him jealous, he always felt as if Father loved Itachi more than him.
"He also said he wanted to see you. Apparently, he is going to be doing a deal with the Heartfilia Conzern and they have a daughter around your age. He would like to have you occupy her while he does business with her father and mother."
Itachi's message formed a frown upon Sasuke's lips. Itachi loved watching his little brother; he had little control over his emotions but desperately tried to get them under his control. He found it adorable.
"Fine. I'll go talk to this Heartfilia girl." Sasuke began to walk away with his arms crossed over his chest. As Itachi began to take his leave of absence, Sasuke turned around. "Itachi! Promise me that tomorrow we will practice our magic together."
His brother turned around and began to walk to Sasuke. Itachi's eyes were as intense as always, their mother once joked that Itachi never blinked but Sasuke could not remember a time when he had seen his brother blink, but then they closed and a smile appeared on his face. "I would love to, Sasuke. You need to get better if you do indeed plan to live up to our ancestor's legacy.
As Itachi left, Sasuke forgot why he was moving and stayed, with his feet firmly planted in that spot in the hallway, where he was before those words he had never shared with anyone struck him like a hurricane.

"Do you need more water, Kaa-chan?" Naruto's voice rang through Kushina's sick and addled haze.
"No…" the slight voice was followed by a bought of violent coughing, "please."
"Are you sure?" Naruto's head slowly tilted to the left side as he asked. "You seem worse than you have been."
"Today is the…" Kushina's words were interrupted by her virulent illness once again, "today is the day that you must leave me. I won't make it much longer."
"Don't say things like that!"
Kushina could feel the tremors in the air as Naruto's large magic power quaked the air around them. If she had the strength, there would be nothing but a proud smile plastered upon her face. "I don't want you to see me at the end, Naruto-chan. You have my gift; that lacrima I implanted in you will ensure you safety as you travel. Please forgive me."
Naruto's voice was cut off by a slight movement of his mother's hand. A flurry of symbols and letters rushed around him in a torrential storm. The next thing he knew, he was no longer at that cabin in the woods. He stood on a rock in a different forest.
The one he had come to know was dark and he could sense the malice hidden within the leaves, but this one was calmed him. It took away the sadness that welled up inside of him from losing the only family he had ever known. It made him feel as though he had found a new home.
Naruto didn't notice the tears fall from his eyes as he thought of his mother for hours. He didn't notice the hunger burning inside of him, begging to be satiated and he certainly didn't notice the enormous, white dragon behind him.
"Boy," the voice rumbled like thunder, "why have you treaded on my holy woods?"
Naruto didn't speak; he couldn't. So Weisslogia folded its angelic wings behind it and waited for an answer.

"Itachi?" Sasuke's voice rang throughout the halls of their expansive home without a soul in sight. Generally, one or two servants could be passed on the way inside but that didn't seem to be the case today. Everyone was gone. If Sasuke was honest, it scared him a little.
"Hello?" Sasuke said as he entered the empty dining hall. It should be time for lunch; the room shouldn't be empty. Sasuke's eyes became shadowed by his concern as he dashed out of the room; he had to find someone.
The guest rooms, the kitchen, Itachi's room, the living room, his father's study, and even the basement and attic were devoid of life. It was like no one had ever lived in this house in the first place.
"Someone please answer! Is this some kind of joke? This isn't funny!"
"They're gone, little brother." Sasuke's eyes brightened with hope; he knew that voice, Itachi. "I've killed them. Do you want to see?"
"What?" it was the only words he could muster at those words.
"Do you want to see their charred and bloodied corpses. Or will my blade soaked in the same blood that runs through our veins be sufficient to inform you of their demise?"
Sasuke walked into the only room he hadn't checked, his parents. As he opened the door, he saw them, his parents, lying in a pool of their own blood covered in burns and cuts. Was this an illusion? Itachi was always skilled when it came to that branch of magic. Was this some kind of joke?
"Right now you probably think they're an illusion. It's okay; you can touch them and make sure they aren't, but you know I wouldn't lie to you Sasuke. We promised, remember?"
"Why?" It was supposed to be a shout, but it came out as a whisper, a weak whisper that just squeaked out. It made him sound weak and pathetic, but that was how he felt right now as his eyes couldn't pull away from the atrocity before him.
"Why? That's an interesting question. I suppose because I could or that they were weak and I am strong. If I had to muster it into one phrase or saying I would say it is because I needed to test my capabilities. All of the training I have done has lead me to a path that I cannot walk away from."
Sasuke put his hands over his ears. "I don't want to hear this. Please! This must be a dream! Make it stop! I don't want this! Why?"
"Do you want this to happen to you Sasuke? Then take revenge and come back with power, but right now you cant because you're weak. So run, Sasuke. Run from your fears and run from me. Otherwise, you will suffer just like they did."
Sasuke couldn't understand what happened next. His legs moved and moved and they wouldn't stop moving. Soon he was outside the house and then he was in the gardens. The next thing he knew, he was in the woods gasping for breath with tears rushing down his eyes.
He just couldn't understand why Itachi did this. Why? It didn't make any sense.
He just needed to be stronger. He needed a new power Itachi didn't know about because he was going to have to kill Itachi. "I will kill you, Itachi, I promise that I will kill you and I'll do anything to do it."
Unnoted location in Fiore, X772
"Weisslogia, Skiadrum so you too have taken humans under your wing?" Igneel didn't meet up by his fellow dragons often, but it seemed that more dragons had been gathering pupils nowadays.
"Yes Naruto has not only gotten over his mother's death, but is progressing rather slowly with his dragon slayer magic. However, I am far more proud of Naruto as an individual; he has endured abuse at the hands of his fellow humans but does not hold any hate or ill will towards them."
A large black dragon whose scales shimmered as if made of metal lifted its head from the ground and drifted its gaze towards Weisslogia. "Ho ho, how typical of you Weisslogia. Praising your new student as if he already from the heavens that your magic stems from."
"Metalicana, you are as abrasive as your element," A dragon whose body seemed to be comprised of writhing shadows muttered before looking at Igneel. "I do worry for Sasuke though he seems much more taken with his revenge and mastering new magic as opposed to growing."
"All of you bickering like children. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though; its not like any of you were particularly well behaved." Grandeeney, another white dragon, stated with what could only be interpreted as a disappointed gleam in her eyes.
"You wouldn't understand, Grandeeney. You have yet to pass your magic onto a human; it is quite the exhilarating experience. Natsu always manages to keep me busy." Igneel said, "That is why we fought together in that War. So that we could give freedom and hope to humans."
A myriad of noises rang out from those present. Some were of agreement and others of a more pensive nature. "I expect this generation of wizards will be something exceptional."
So that's the prologue. We have Naruto and Sasuke, being a year older than Natsu, but taking Sting and Rogue spots as the White and Shadow dragon slayers. I think Mashima has an idea planned with the whole seven dragon slayers thing so I didn't want to make Naruto and Sasuke dragon slayers of a new element. All suggestions are welcome so leave a review and see what happens.
