Hello and welcome to Fairy Tail's Aura Dragon. This story will be a bit different than the original version I had up. In this version, Naruto will be Lucy's older brother. He will be about the same age as Erza and Mira maybe a year older. Naruto will still learn Aura dragon slaying magic but he will be a celestial mage as well.
In a small little section of the land of Fiore, there lives a family. This family was widely known across Fiore, this was the Heartfilia family. The first was Jude Heartfilia, owner of the Heartfilia Konzern. Then there was his wife, Layla Heartfilia, celestial spirit mage. Next were their two kids, Naruto and Lucy Heartfilia. The four lived in a large mansion that could easily house hundreds of people. There were maids, butlers, cooks, and other workers moving about the residence trying to do their jobs.
The four family members were currently standing in Jude's office with the oldest three yelling back and forth while Lucy played with her blue gem necklace.
"I will not marry someone I have never met before and that I am not happy being with!" Naruto yelled at his father. Naruto would be the one to take over the job once Jude retired. Jude kept trying to arrange marriages with heiresses to other famous and wealthy businesses in order to keep the Heartfilia name strong. Every time Naruto refused each and every attempt to set him up with someone.
"I am your father and you will do as I say. You are only ten years old, there is nothing you can do to stop me." Jude replied growing angrier with his son.
"You will not force my son to do something he doesn't want to do Jude. Naruto-kun knows what it means to love someone and I will not force him into some marriage." Layla replied as she poked her finger into Jude's chest. Jude was angry from the start of the conversation with his son not listening to him. With Layla poking his chest and siding with their son over her husband pushed Jude over the edge.
Jude pushed Layla away from him causing the blond woman to fall backwards into the floor. Naruto was instantly beside her trying to make sure she was ok. She started coughing real bad, and ended up coughing up some blood. "Kaa-san, are you ok?" Naruto asked as he noticed the blood.
"I am fine Naruto-kun." Layla replied with a smile but the blond didn't buy it.
"You shouldn't even be out of bed yet kaa-san. The doctors haven't even cleared you to be up and moving yet." Naruto replied as Layla started coughing again.
Naruto looked up as he heard the sound of footsteps on the floor and looked up to see Lucy running at their father. She started hitting Jude with her little arms which only seemed to anger him more. Jude grabbed Lucy's arms and smacked her face causing her to fall into Naruto's arms as he caught her before she could hit the ground. Seeing the hand print on Lucy's face caused Naruto to let out a small growl.
Naruto loved his family, even his father. But seeing what he had just did to his mother and sister caused him to start rethinking that. His mother and sister were everything to the young blond boy. He loved the both of them more than anything else and would gladly give up his own life if it meant keeping them safe. Naruto always listened to everything his mother said and always was the protective big brother when it came to his little sister. Seeing both of them hurt by his father made him decide that the three of them needed to get away from the man. Naruto sat Lucy down beside his mother before he stood and walked over to Jude.
Jude started to swing at Naruto, but was stopped when a chain latched onto his wrist shocking the other three people in the room as it appeared from a magic circle at the blonde's hand. "You will never touch my kaa-san or imoto like this ever again." Naruto said before the chain threw Jude across the room and into a wall before disappearing as Naruto helped his mother and sister to their feet.
"Go and pack your bags kids." Layla said as the two kids nodded and left before she turned to her husband. "I love you Jude, I really do. But you aren't the same man I fell in love with back in Love and Lucky." She paused as another fits of coughs started. "My kids mean more to me than anything else in the world and I will do whatever it takes to make sure they are safe for as long as I remain in this world." Layla finished before going to pack her things as well.

It had been about a week since the three left the mansion to start their own lives away from Jude. They were traveling slow as Layla wasn't able to move very fast. She kept telling the kids she was fine but Naruto knew better than that. His mother was getting worse with each and every day and there was nothing that he could do about it. The three Heartfilia family members had been staying in a hotel for the past few days so Layla could rest a bit. Lucy had stayed in the room with her so she could keep an eye on her sick mother.
Naruto had taken it upon himself to get small jobs here and there as the three traveled to try and help with the things they needed. Sure they still had quite a bit of money that Layla had taken when the three left, but Naruto knew that wouldn't last forever. As Naruto finished wiping down the last table of the restaurant he was working in, he heard the bell on the door ring.
"I'm sorry but we're closed for the day." Naruto said with a smile as he turned around. When he saw Lucy standing there, his smile instantly vanished as he saw the tears in her eyes. "What's wrong Luce?"
"Its kaa-san, she won't wake up no matter how much I try to wake her up." Lucy said as her tears started to fall.
After Naruto yelled a quick goodbye to the restaurant owner, he picked his little sister up and placed her on his back as he started running. He ran as fast as he could while dodging other people and making sure Lucy didn't fall off his back. He made it to the hotel and quickly ran up the stairs to the floor that the three were staying on. He made it to their room and placed Lucy down and did his best to check on his mother.
He wasn't sure how to properly check her, but he could at least tell she was still breathing. After finding out she was still breathing, he knew he needed to get help and quickly. "Stay here with kaa-san Lucy. I am going to try and find help for her." Naruto said as she nodded. Before Naruto could move for the door, he was stopped by a voice from seemingly nowhere.

In the skies over Fiore, a large, dark blue scaled dragon was flying through the air. It had four powerful looking legs, gold eyes, and razor sharp teeth. The top of the dragon was covered in dark, blue scales while the underside of the dragon was covered in white. On the back of the dragon, sitting near the dragon's head, was a woman. She was dressed in a white kimono with different symbols that looked like the constellations. She had hazel eyes, long black hair, and pale white skin.
The two flew in silence before the dragon spoke. "What did you bring me out here for Lillian?" the large dragon asked. "You know I need to be looking for someone to pass my magic onto. Igneel, Metalicana, and the others have already began passing on their teachings for years now and I still haven't found anyone to pass mine on to."
"Calm down Daiki. I know how important passing on your magic is. That's why I have brought you out this way. I have an old friend who has two kids and I think her boy would be someone you could pass your magic onto." Lillian replied as the dragon accepted her answer.
"Where is this friend of yours at then?" Daiki asked looking forward to seeing if this boy was worthy of possessing his aura dragon magic.
"Their home is that way but I sense the three in a town not far from here in that direction." Lillian replied to the dragon as he took off flying through the air. After about another ten minutes of flying, the dragon and woman pair floated above a town looking around. The two were disguised by some of the woman's magic so they wouldn't be noticed.
"So where exactly is this friend of yours?" the dragon asked once again. It was silent for a few minutes as Lillian looked around. When she finally found a familiar energy signature, she got off the dragon and started floating in the air beside him.
"Something's not right, come on Daiki." Lillian said as the dragon was surrounding by a glowing light that shrunk into a small ball and floated beside her as the two floated down to the hotel. The dragon and woman floated outside the window as they watched what was going on inside the room. Lillian was shocked to see her friend in such a state and decided to see if she could help.
"You don't need to get any help little one." Lillian said as she revealed herself as she floated through the window.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as he pulled Lucy behind him and stood in front of his mother.
"I am not here to hurt you. Your mother is an old friend of mine. My name is Lillian and I am one of the Spirit King's most trusted servant's. This is Daiki, the aura dragon." Lillian introduced the two as a dragon's head appeared for a quick moment before disappearing again. "What is wrong with your mother?"
"She has been like this for close to a month now and no one knows what is happening to her. Can you please help our kaa-san?" Naruto asked with hope.
"About a month? The eclipse gate! I heard that she had to use her own power in place of Aquarius's so that must be what is affecting her." Lillian thought to herself before looking at the two young blond children. "I can't promise anything for sure but I may be able to help your mother if the three of you come with us back to the spirit world for a few days. I will have some of the celestial spirits look over her and see if they can help her."
"We'll do anything if it means that kaa-san will get better." Lucy said with a smile as Naruto nodded in agreement.
Lillian walked over near the three and placed her hand on Layla's arm. "Just hold on children." Once the kids had ahold of Lillian, the five disappeared.
This isn't as long as the chapters will be but they will get longer starting next chapter. Yes Layla will be alive during this story. Jude won't act like he did in this chapter during the whole story. He will change sometime after the Fairy Tail vs. Phantom Lord Arc. And before anyone says that Layla died due to her disease she got from opening the eclipse gate, it never mentioned that her disease was incurable. Naruto will have aura dragon slaying, he will have the nine tailed beasts as celestial spirits, and maybe chain make magic. Lucy will have her original spirits and definitely chain make magic. Let me know if Naruto should in fact learn chain make?
Also, I should let everyone know now that I won't be writing out the training. I like to keep people waiting and guessing as to what will happen until I decide to write it out. The story won't start off right with canon either. There is a poll on my profile that will only be up for another day or two max. Depending on which two girls win the poll, I have a chapter or two that will take place before canon starts. Not sure when the next update will be. Anyways, leave me a review and let me know what you think.
