Chapter 2: A brother's return...


5 year's later...

X781

Rumour's of one holding power as high as as that of Zeref or even beyond him floated around the magical world, this new entity, they had come to know was feared and respected for his power as well, but the most distinct characteristic thing was that the man they talked about was said to posses demon eye's. When Makarov heard this, he didn't know what to think, when the annual guild master's meeting came up. Some of the guild master's accused Markarov of having a "secret weapon". When he denied these claim's. They had told him that the boy who had taken out many of the dark guild's had possesed the tattoo of Fairy tail on his left arm, even showing photographic evidence. Markarov was dumbstruck but the council had none of it, as long as the boy was taking out the dark guild's, they woukd leave him alone but if he ever posed a problem to the magic world, they would use all their power to bring him down. Markarov chuckled bitterly, "he" was already a problem to the magic world. New's spread of the man known as the "visual illusionist" . From the barest of description's, they said he was helping people, but at the same time didn't care how much damage he did along the way, though according to an onlooker, the damage was done mostly by his opponent's, The "visual" illusionist" had used his high speed magic to defeat his opponent with minimal collateral damage. He was easily above the common S class mage's, in a league of his own. Gildarts knew exactly who it was, as did Markarov, they patiently awaited his return. The twenty one year old illusionist as christened by various new's letter and magazines had his face covered by a cloak most of the time. But what associated with him the most was a black cloak with red cloud's. Rumour's had come up that he had taken on a black dragon, knocking it out with him falling into the ocean. Suffice to say, just a minute later, the "illusionist" would have died from exshaution if not for the kindness of a fisherman who was coincidently had come out that far into the sea.

The next generation of fairy tail didn't know what to think of the man. a certain pink haired dragon slayer knew he wanted to fight the man not because of the amount of fame it would bring him but to prove to a certain flying lizard that he had grown stronger. The Strauss sibling's didn't know that it was the "illusionist" that had saved the middle brother and calmed him down when he had failed in his takeover form, Mirajane would forever be grateful to the man who had saved her younger brother's life. She described the boy she had met when she was fourteeen year's as a boy whose eye's held great regret and a burden. it had astonished her, but somehow he was kind enough to save her younger brother. He had dissapeared into crow's without even talking to her. When she confronted her master about it, he laughed it off saying that she would see him again one day and could talk to him then. She looked forward to that day.

Erza Scarlet.

She had mixed view's of the man christened as the "visual illusionist", she had become more withdrawn after her adopted brother left her in the guild and never to be seen again. She would cry everytime she remembered him or the old man known as Rob although they were less frequent outburt's. She had a tendency of social awkwardness, remaining silent until and unless she was addressed too. A year before, she had become an S-class mage. But when she was taking the exam, she had felt eye's on her, she had looked around and had caught a man watching her from a hill. his cloak spraying in the wind, and just like glass, it was shattered when he dissapeared. She had grown in both body and skill, and as a man so many year's ago had commented, she had become "a fine young lass", feared for her abilitie's as well and her strength. She was a master in swordsmanship especially mastering a sword presented to her by her adopted brother. She had a feeling that the "visual illusionist" was actually her brother, she had seen his eye's turn red when he had knocked her out in the guild and thrust her into an illusion. She was now sixteen year's old surpassing many her age in term's of strength and skill's. A small smile played away at a man who was reading a new's letter in a cafe in Magnolia town when he read the interview that Erza had done for a local magazine. A man came and sat opposite to him.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself" chuckled the man as he sat down.

The man sitting down removed his hood, revelaing two stress line birth mark's on his face, and a ponytail neatly wrapped, a bead like necklace adorning his neck, with two bang's falling infront of his face. He looked into the eye's of the man who had once called him "heartless".

"You've grown" smiled Gildarts.

"Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for you..." came his monotone voice.

"Oye! I'm not that old!" complained Gildarts in comical fashion, the figure just looked at him in bordeom. Glidarts settled down as he placed his arms over his chest looking into the eye's of the man opposite to him.

"They say you fought a dragon.." stated Gildarts.

"And if I did?"

"What possesed you to fight it!" shouted Gildarts in a comical fashion, raising his arm's into the air.

"Nothing, it chose to attack me." answered the man.

"It chose to attack you?" asked a skeptical Gildarts

"Acnologia..." stated the man.

"The black dragon..." continued Gildarts.

The figure didn't answer as his order came to him, a simple glass of tomato juice, the waitress blushed as she walked away. Gildarts slyed an evil grin.

"A ladies' man eh? you know I could give you some tips..." said Gildarts as he blew some air to his fingernail's.

"I have no such interest..." came the man's voice.

"Fine! be that way! but when you don't find the girl of your dream's, don't come sulking to me about it!" huffed Gildarts. The man looked on bored at his outburst. After taking a sip from his glass, he looked at Gildarts with intensity.

"What do you know about Cana Alberona?" came his voice.

"Eh? that little girl? she's cute!" squealed Gildarts as the figure infront of him rolled his eyes. An image of a girl with long brown wavy hair came into his mind.

"She's your daughter."

"W-what?" sputtered Gildarts as he spit out the water he was drinking onto the figure infront of him. A glare met his eye's as Gildarts once again nervously gulped and offered up a towel. He took it and wiped his face and his cloak as Gildarts muttered apologie's, his head lowered, as soon as it met the eye's of the figure infront of him. The towel was thrown at his face with Gildarts falling down onto the floor. The figure then tried to pick up his glass but it fell from his grasp. Gildarts didn't miss it as he slowly sat down once more. Gildarts saw that the man's eyes were twitching.

"Your hurting..." stated Gildarts in a matter of fact tone.

"It's nothing..."

"That wasn't nothing..." came Gildarts serious voice. The figure looked at him as he took his hand and rested it on the table.

"It does not concern you..."

"Why do you act like that? your joining fairy tail, actually your already in it! soon I'm not the only one who'll be asking you about your injurie's kid!" complained Gildarts. The man just looked at him boredly as he steered the conversation away from his eyes.

Concerning Cana Alberona, as I said earler she's your daughter" said the figure.

"You can't be serious! if so? who's the mother?" asked Gildarts.

"A woman named Cornelia" answered the figure. Gildarts stopped in his track's as realisation finally dawned on him, Cornelia was the only woman who he had loved, the new's was shocking to him.

"Cana know's this, I suggest you wait until she come's and inform's you this herself, there's a reason why she would have not informed you by now" said the figure as he paid the bill for their drink's.

"I understand but..."

"Your leaving..." completed the figure for Gildarts.

"Yeah, a hundred year mission..." said Gildarts "Make it three year's..." said the figure. Gildarts chuckled.

"I think I will, until then I trust you to look after her.."

"Understood...consider it payment for looking after Erza." stated the voice.

Gildarts smiled "Thank you Itachi"

Itachi covered his face with his hood. "She's grown strong, surpassing almost everyone in her generation, she's an S-class you know?" smiled Gildarts

"I am aware..." came his voice.

"You should be proud of her! she's the strongest woman in Fairy tail" complained Gildarts "Stop with that stupid face already" as Gildarts immitated Itachi, copying his face. Itachi looked on bored as he issued a threat to him.

"Gildarts-san, cease your childishness, else I will be forced to take...unesscessary measures.." said Itachi as he levelled Gildart's with a glare, he gulped.

"H-hai!..." said Gildarts as he looked away from him, not meeting his gaze, Itachi then walked past him.

"Be perceptive, this world is changing and I do not know if it is for the worst or for the better" said teh prodigy as he dissapeared from Gildart's view. Gildarts held his gaze a bit longer and then sighed. He picked up his bag and began on his own journey.


Fairy Tail...

"You bastard!" hollered a voice

"You had it coming you pink haird banshee!" hollered another voice, Mirajane chuckled at the ongoin fight between Natsu and his long time rival Gray.

"Where's Erza when you need her?" complained Jet as he saw the fight escalate, breaking furniture. The door's slowly opened as Itachi came into the guild. A chair flew past him as he looked back at where the chair was fallen. He slowly entered the building, dodging attack's and making it to the bar table. Mirajane was busy wiping a glass when she saw the figure infront of her, the glass dropped from her grasp but didn't shatter as Itachi caught it, giving it back to her. She smiled as she took it back.

"It has been a while Mirajane-san, I trust your younger brother is doing well?" asked Itachi in a calm voice as he removed his hood.

"He is, I never got to thank you for what you did and please call me Mira, the suffixe's are unescessary." said a sixteen year old Mirajane.

"Is Marakarov-sama present?" asked Itachi as he ignored her previous statement.

"Master? why yes he's..." before she could finish, a small man jumped down to the bar table as he laughed merrily.

"Itachi!, Gildarts sent word that you were on you way here..." laughed the old man as the twent one old gave him an amused look. Shocking the other member's of the guild as the business of the guild came to a halt, they looked in shock at the man, their master was addressing.

"I see that we have many thing's to talk about" said Makarov as he started to walk up the stair's. Itachi followed soon after him. Mirajane waved at him, Itachi didn't pay her any mind as he followed Markarov.


With the member's of the guild...

"Who was that guy?" asked Drog as he saw his master go up with him into a room, locking it behind him.

"That's a true man!" came Elfmann's voice, Natsu then grinned sadistically. "I don't care who he is! I'm going to fight him right now!"

He tried to run but was stopped by a heavy kick to his jaw. "you pink haired idiot! master didn't call you over there! you have no right interuppting him!"

"Shut up you bastard!"

"What did you call me?"

"You heard me! you stinking pervert!"

"You wanna fight huh?"

"Bring it on you coward!"

"That's it!"

Levy shaked her head at the two as she went to Mirajane, "Mira-san, who was that man?"

Mirajane turned to her as she smiled "That was the visual illusionist."

The guild went deathly silence as they looked at her with wide chibi eye's. Even Natsu and Gray stopped their fight as they stared at her.

"You've got to be kidding me? that guy?" scoffed Jet.

"I'm not lying, he's the one who saved Elfmann two year's ago" explained Mirajane. Elfman's eyes widened.

"Nee-san? he's the one who?..." Mirajane smiled at him and nodded her head "I should offer him my thank's when he finishes his meeting" said Elfmann.

"N-no way, that's the guy they say, who beat a dragon?" stuttered Natsu, Gray was sweating.

He was snapped out of his stupour when Mirajane placed a hand on his cheek. he slowly looked toward's her. "Natsu, don't be afraid of him, he's not bad. He's very polite once you get to know him."

"H-he is?" stuttered Natsu, Mirajane smiled as she nodded her head.

"So don't be afraid of him, get to know him maybe then you'll understand, he may look all bad on the outside but he's a very different person on the inside..." said Mirajane. Natsu regained his fieryness as he clutched his fist

"Alright! I'll make him my friend! and then chalenge him and beat him!" shouted Natsu, some smiled at the declaration while other's just sighed at it. One thing was for certain Natsu wouldn't learn any time soon.

The door of the guild once again opened introducing a new face back to the guild as everyone looked on. Nastu gulped as he ran toward's Gray and Gray toward's him, both of them began singin a merry tune and dancing as everyone saw who all entered the guild.

"We're back" her voice resounded in the hall of the guild, Mirajane smiled as she saw who it was that came back.

"Welcome back Erza, Lisanna..." smiled Mirajane. Erza smirked as she entered the guild followed by Mirajane's younger sister.

"Mira-nii! we completed the job in record time!" beamed Lisanna as Erza came up and "inspected" each of the member's scolding them for their shortcoming's, she came to Gray and Natu, silently smirking, she was known as the terror known as "Titania" for a reason

"Where's master?" asked Erza. Laxus answered for her. "He's talking with the visual illusionist." answered Laxus as he went back to his brooding on the second floor. Erza and Lisanna's eye's widened.

"He's here?" asked Erza to no one in particular.

"Yes he is" said Mirajane confirming Erza's question. "Could it be?..."

"What's a mage well above the S-class doing here?" asked Lisanna

"We don't know, he came up to the bar table and talked with Mirajane, after that the master called him in and they've been talking ever since.." explained Gray as he looked at Lisanna.

As if on cue, the door where the "illusionist" had gone through was open once again as Makaarov came out first followed by Itachi. Erza's eyes widened at the sight, she clutched her fist, Natsu caught it as he asked Erza if she was alright, she didn't say anything as her hair covered her face. Itachi and Markarov came down onto the stair's, the attention of the whole guild on them.

All of you, welcome our newest S class member! Itachi Uchiha! also known to all you kidie's as the "visual illusionist" exclaimed a hearty Markarov as he laughed. Everyone were wide eyed but then started celebrating as they cheered the "illusionist".

"No way, you mean one of the strongest mage's in the world joined our guild?" asked Marcao

"That's what happened right now buddy" said Wakabe..

All the cheering stopped as Erza jumped toward's him, she was holding two dual sword's, tear's streaming down her face as she lunged at him.

"Erza!" screamed Natsu.

"What is she doing?" said Gray as he gritted his teeth. Sasuke just looked up as she jumped toward's him, edging her sword to his body. Makarov just grinned as he came down the stair's and turned to Itachi

"Itachi! please take the fight to the back!" chuckled Markarov.

Itachi conceeded as he dissapeared out of the guild, Erza following close behind him, the whole guild ran out with them to see the fight.

"Master will she be alright? why is she fighting a mage as powerful as him?" asked Elfman, Markarov looked up at him "You'll see, now come quick, I don't want to miss this..."

Erza lunged at him with speed that would take down any mage less than an S class, luckjy for itachi, he was above it, he was in a league of his own. He dodged each one of her strike's with precision, She tried to slice his head off as he simply moved his neck to the right, dodging it, she stopped, panting from exhaustion. Itachi looked back at the impact of her sword. It had sliced a tower clean off in half. A slow smile crawled up to his lip's as he turned back to her.

"You've gotten taller..." commented Itachi as his lips gained a small smile.

"Shut up! you leave me alone for five year's! and have the gall to come back now!" shouted Erza as he lunged at him again, Itachi simply stepped back, moving his body to the side's to avoid the incoming thrust's. Effortlessly dodging her attack's. This only fueled her more as she stepped back, trying to find out how she could strike him down.

"I had my reason's..." stated Itachi as he dodged another slice.

"That is no excuse!" shouted Erza as she lunged at him again.

"What's the deal with Erza? why is she acting like that?" asked Gray..

"Do they know each other?" asked Natsu as he watched Itachi dodge another strike aimed at his waist.

Erza screamed as she took the dual sword's by the hilt and reversed them, using them as stabbing weapon's. Itachi boredly looked on, the smile still plastered on his face. He readied himself as he jumped back when Erza tried to stab him, she glared at him and jumped after him, trying to atleast graze him but to no avail. He landed back on the ground, taking up his normal stance, his cloak waving in the wind.

"Erza didn't even touch him..." muttered Gray in disbelief.

"W-what kind of skill does that guy have?" asked Natsu as he viewed the battle infront of him.

"T-this guy...h-he's a monster.." muttered Cana as she watched a panting Erza. He decided to give her a little encouragement.

"Have you grown stronger to test my "ability"? or did you just waste your time all these year's?" asked Itachi as he narrowed his eye's on her.

Erza however was too angry to think as she lunged forward with a batle cry. Tear's streaking down her left eye.

"Erza..." muttered Natsu..

Her battle cry was heard as a sudden explosion of smoke covered the area, when it settled Itachi stood there waiting. When the smoke cleared, Erza was covered in a sort of metallic armour. Itachi looked on.

She's using the heaven's wheel armour now! here!" panicked Markarov "The council will have my head..." sulked Markarov.

"So, she's procured an armour as well...interesting." thought Itachi "This isn''t a fashion show" stated Itachi in a monotone voice as he saw Erza charging at him.

"Stop running your mouth nii-san!" shouted Erza as she lunged at him again.

The guild memeber's eye's widened at the proclamation "nii-san?". They all loooked to Markarov for explanation, he just shrugged his shoulder's and watched the fight smiling.

"That guy is Erza's brother?" shouted Natsu as he pointed to Sasuke.

"N-no way!" shouted Gray. Mirajane looked shocked as well as the rest of the guild memeber's, Laxus was watching from behind them.

"That guy...he can't be Erza's brother. How could someone so weak have a strong sibling like that?" thought a bitter Laxus

Erza pulled her arm's in a delta formation as she sliced at Itachi. "Trinity sword!" she shouted. Itachi looked on as the slice came up to him, In one swift motion, he deviated it with his left arm, sending it flying and cutting another tower in half.

"Impossible! how did he deflect it without a sword?" asked a stunned Gray. Erza's slowly released her armour as she looked on in shock

"Foolish little sister, it seem's...you've grown...stronger" said Itachi.

"I'm not done!" shouted Erza as she aimed a punch and ran towards Itachi, Itachi didn't move as he met the punch head on into his gut. He winced at the pain as he took it full on. No magic or anything to protect him. A little blood dripped from his mouth as the pain from the punch slowly subsided, leaving a sobbing Erza hugging Itachi like once long ago when he had brought her some clothe's. He pushed the memory away as he remained silent. The blood dripping onto the ground. She slowly removed her head from where she buried it in his cloak and looked up at him. .Itachi cocked his head to his side as he drew up his right arm and poked her forehead with two forefinger's, sending her staggering her back a bit.

"Sorry Erza, maybe next tiime..." said Itachi as a small smile crept onto his face. Erza just looked at him, tear's streaming down her left eye. Itachi observed Erza's form, he could tell something was different, his eye's widened as he realised what had changed, she had her right eye back but for some reason, tear's fell only from her left eye and not her right eye. Itachi walked up to her covering the small distance between them as he knelt down, he didn't care who was watching. He kept his right hand on her right eye, asking her to close it.

"W-what are you doing?" asked Erza. Itachi didn't answer as Erza felt a tingling sensation in her eye, when Itachi removed his eye, tear's were streaming down both her eye's. Erza looked on shock as she felt the tear's from her right eye falling.

"Shedding half filled tear's is no substitute for crying..." said Itachi as he wiped his mouth with his akastsuki cloak. He tried to stand up but couldn't as Erza kept hugging him and crying onto his shoulder.

"She's grown stronger, stronger than Sasuke was at this age, using the air pressure to uphold her attack's like that." Itachi looked up at the tower that was sliced in half "Such skill for her age in this world, ingenious, using the armour to boost her attack power when it should be increasing her defense power..."

He slowly stood up as he and her walked side by side into the guild, ignoring the rest of the member's, Markarov had already gone in when Itachi had taken the punch. They came up to him as Itachi spoke.

"I kept my end of the deal Markarov-sama"

"As did I" smiled Markarov "Welcome to Fairy tail Itachi Uchiha..."

Erza just smiled at the conversation as she looked on at her adopted big brother.
