I don't own Fairy Tail or Naruto. I only own the Fanfic. Some of the characters may be different than they actually are, and may have some of the traits from my previous fan fictions, but don't bother me with that stuff!
Chapter 1 - When Two Worlds Meet
Sakura looked at Sasuke full of worry. "Sasuke? Are ya okay?" She asks.
"Yeah. I'm just fine; just confused." Sasuke says.
"Oh okay."
"I'm going for a walk. There're some things that I need to clear up in my head."
"Do ya want someone to come with ya?" Naruto asked; feeling very concerned for his friend.
"Not really, but if ya feel it's necessary then fine."
"Well then I'm comin' with ya."
"I think I'll go to." Kakashi said.
"Maybe we should all go then." Sakura said turning to Naruto and Kakashi.
The two nodded their heads and went with Sasuke so that they could at least try to help Sasuke clear his mind of whatever is troubling him.
~Back with Gray~
Gray waited for Natsu to show up at the back end of the guild. "Where is he? It's almost noon!" He thinks. As he looked at the sky he heard a door open and shut; making his attention go to the door and saw Lyon instead of Natsu. "What're YOU doin' here Lyon?" He questioned; knowing something was up.
"I should ask the same thing of you Gray." Lyon says.
"I'm waiting for Natsu to show up."
"He won't be coming."
"What?!"
"He's "out" if you catch my drift."
"You knocked 'em out?!"
"Yes. Is there a problem Gray?"
"YES there's a problem! I was supposed to practice magic with him today! I waited here since 11 am!"
"What a shame. Poor, poor Gray; had to wait for an unfaithful friend to show up so he could practice magic with him. That's such a sad story ya have there Gray." Lyon said sympathetically.
"What is he saying? Natsu's a faithful friend. He's lying!" Gray thought as he studied Lyon for a moment.
"What's the matter Gray? Are you upset because Natsu made you wait here for him?"
"Shut up! Just shut up!" Gray yelled gripping his hair as if he were going to pull it out.
Lyon laughed under his breath at how Gray was acting. "I really pity you Gray." He says lowly.
Gray looked up at Lyon with slight rage in his eyes. "Why? Why do YOU of all people pity ME?" He snaps.
"Most of your friends just want to get rid of you. They want you to just disappear, and be gone from their lives."
"That's not true!"
"Oh, but it is."
"It's NOT! Quit talkin' nonsense Lyon!"
"None of what I'm saying is nonsense Gray. Truly."
"You're LYING!" Gray yelled before encasing Lyon in a glacier of ice.
Lyon broke free and walked toward Gray with an ice spell ready to be cast upon him.
Gray was getting to be in a state of insecurity and panic. "G-get away from m-me L-Lyon!" He said backing up; not knowing that the portal he had seen yesterday was still in its place; making him trip and fall backwards into the other world beyond the portal.
Lyon had seen the portal as well, but never had the courage to go through alone. "Now's my chance!" He thought before he jumped through the portal as well.
Gray had hit his head on something pretty hard and was unconscious when Lyon had appeared outside of the portal.
Lyon looked around and saw people walking by like nothing's wrong, but they were looking at his cloths oddly because no one dressed like that in that world. He then went to walk forward; only to be stopped when his foot nudged Gray's unconscious body; making him jump back startled."Huh? Oh it's only Gray. Wait...why isn't he waking up? Did he hit his head on something?" He wondered as he looked at Gray, and then noticed that Gray had indeed hit his head on something - a wall, and there was a pretty big crack where Gray had hit his head.
~The Main Story~
Sasuke was walking home with team members following when he stopped to see two strange men: one looked to be unconscious, and the other man was standing by him as if to protect him in a way. He got a little curious as to who they were and walked over to them. "Excuse me?"
The man standing turned his attention to Sasuke. "Who's he? Wait I saw him once! He was looking at the portal when I saw him!" Lyon thought before answering. "Yes? Can I help you?"
"Well I saw you over here and didn't recognize you...so I wanted to ask..."
"Ask away."
"I wanted to know who you were."
"Oh. My name is Lyon Bastia. I'm from another world so to say."
"Okay, but who's he?" Sasuke asked nodding toward the unconscious man at Lyon's feet.
"Oh his name is Gray Fullbuster. He's from the same world that I'm from."
"Okay. Is he alright though? He really doesn't look okay to me."
"He's just unconscious. He should be coming to in a moment. By the way..."
"Yes?"
"You know my name, but I don't know yours."
"Oh sorry. My name's Sasuke Uchiha, and these are my team members: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi Hatake."
"I see. It's nice to meet all of you then."
"Like wise."
Everyone stopped talking when they heard a groan come from the man at Lyon's feet; also known as Gray Fullbuster.
"Aw my head. What happened? W-where am I?" Gray groans.
"Why don't you open your eyes and find out Gray."
Gray's eyes snapped open when he heard Lyon, and she stood up almost instantly:
"L-Lyon!"
"It took ya a while." Lyon says softly.
"Huh? Wait first off where are we, and who are these people?"
"Oh right. Sasuke this is Gray Fullbuster. Gray this is Sasuke Uchiha. As for where we are I really can't tell you because I don't know."
"This is Konoha; also known as the Hidden Leaf Village." Sasuke said to answer Gray's question.
"Thanks...uh...Sasuke was it?"
"Yup, and you're welcome."
"Cool, so who are your friends here."
"Oh. These are my team members: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi Hatake."
"Nice to meet ya."
A small smile crawled onto Sasuke's face. "Like wise."
Kakashi nodded, Sakura bowed, and Naruto waved with a goofy smile on his face as Sasuke introduced them to Gray and Lyon.
Lyon's attention was always on Sasuke even when he was introduced to his team members.
Gray looked over at Lyon and he could've sworn that he saw hearts appear in his eyes while he was looking at Sasuke, but then again; he couldn't keep his eyes off himself, but he was more vigilant than Lyon was.
Soon enough Sakura caught eye of Lyon staring at Sasuke in a way that she didn't like much at all.
"Who does he think he is - looking at MY Sasuke like that?!" Sakura thought with secret rage in her eyes.
"Man...why does Lyon have to be so...so...Lyon?! He always finds SOMEONE to just stare at and it seems like he'd be staring at 'em forever!" Gray thought.
"Why can't I stop looking at him? Every time I try to look away his looks just keep pulling me back to looking at him, and those onyx eyes - just a sight to see." Lyon thought as he continued to stare at Sasuke.
"He's lookin' at Sasuke a weird way. Maybe I should change the subject so that Sasuke's on guard and fightin'. It's a tough choice to make. Do I change the subject and ask Sasuke if he wants to show these two how we ninjas fight around here or do I just let this weirdo...uh...Lyon was it? Yeah it was Lyon. Or should I let Lyon keep staring at him when it's VERY noticeable? Ugh what to do?"Naruto thought; finally making up his mind he turns to Sasuke. "Hey Sasuke!" He starts.
"What?" Sasuke says.
"Why don't we show Gray and Lyon how we ninjas fight in this world?"
"That's not a bad idea actually. How 'bout it guys?" Sasuke said turning to Gray and Lyon.
Gray returned to reality after spacing out. "Huh? Oh yeah. Sure. Sounds great." Gray said before shaking his head trying to unblur his vision.
"I wouldn't mind seeing a sparring match." Lyon said giving Gray a quick glance.
Gray blew air out if his puffed up cheeks and blew some hair out of his face. "Of course ya wouldn't mind to see a sparring match. You just wanna watch Sasuke beat Naruto senseless, and the say how great the fight was just to kiss up." He thought as the hair he blew out of his face fell back onto one side of his nose and rolled his eyes.
"Something wrong, Gray?" Lyon asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nope nothing's wrong. I'm fine." Gray replied looking straight ahead instead of at Lyon.
"Let's go." Sasuke said nodding toward the training field.
"Yeah Let's do this!" Naruto said full enthusiasm.
They walked down to the training field; Sasuke and Naruto going to each side of the field.
"Alright. Let's do this. Ready Naruto?" Sasuke says as he gets into a fight-ready stance.
"I was BORN ready Sasuke, believe it!" Naruto says with quite a bit of enthusiasm.
"Hehe okay gimme all ya got!"
"You got it!" Naruto said before the two became locked in a friendly battle/competition.
The others watched as Sasuke threw shuriken, kunai, and other weapons.
Naruto was doing the same; until Sasuke started using jutsu and strong ones at that.
The fight ended within minutes after it began. Sasuke had won the match between the two.
"Hm. Not. Bad." Sasuke said taking a few pauses to catch his breath.
"Hehe. I. Told ya. I was. Born. Ready." Naruto replied taking a few pauses to catch his breath as well.
The two boys looked over at Lyon and Gray to see Lyon clapping.
"A great show it was. Both of you. Great job." Lyon says.
"Thanks." Sasuke and Naruto said in unison.
"I was SO right." Gray thought; a smile still on his face from watching the two genin engage in friendly combat. "Yeah you two were awesome. I'd love to watch you two fight like that more often." He says.
Sasuke felt a slight blush appear on his face. "Thanks."
Naruto smiled. "Thanks Gray. Oh hey you and Lyon should show us how YOU fought in your world. That should be something interesting to watch."
Lyon smiled. "Sounds like fun. How 'bout it Gray? Shall we show them how mages in our world fought?" He said looking over at his shirtless friend.
"I don't see why not." Gray said with a shrug.
"Alright!" Naruto cheered.
Gray let out a small chuckle, and walked to the side that Sasuke stood on.
Lyon had walked over to the side that Naruto stood on, by default, and got ready to fight.
Naruto leaned toward Sasuke. "Who do ya think is gonna win; Lyon or Gray?" He whispered.
"Definitely Gray." Sasuke said with confidence.
The battle went on for at least fifteen minutes; Gray was winning at this point.
"How could I be losing to HIM, and in front of Sasuke?!" Lyon thought as he prepared an ice spell. "This should knock 'em out in a snap." He thinks.
Gray had seen the sly smirk on Lyon's face and prepped an ice spell as well.
"Okay. Last chance to really show my stuff." He thought as an icy-like aura emanated from his hands. "Ice cannon!"
Lyon heard Gray and saw an ice cannon forming at his palms. He began to lose control of his magic; making it go off course. The ice Lyon had cast that was meant to go for Gray ended up going toward Sasuke; making Gray instinctively lunge himself in the ice's path of 'pain'.
Sasuke saw everything flash in front of him, and lastly saw Gray jump in front of him and knock him to the ground and out of the way of Lyon's misfired ice spell.
Gray took a hit to the stomach and fell to the ground; creating a loud thud as he hit the ground hard.
Sasuke got to his feet after hearing a thud and looked over to see Gray lying on the ground; a wound patched with ice. "Gray!" He yelled as he ran over; concern filled into his eyes along with worry.
One of Gray's eyes opened to see Sasuke looming over him; his eyes gleaming with fear, worry, and concern. "Hey." He softly says.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I take those kinda hits all the time." Gray said as he sat up with a little help from Sasuke.
"You don't look okay." Sasuke says.
"Sasuke, I'm fine." Gray said trying to reassure his friend.
Sasuke wasn't about to believe Gray; he didn't look 'fine' to him at all.
Lyon ran over. "Sasuke! Gray! I'm so sorry."
"It's cool Lyon. Besides; it's just like old time right?" Gary said; finally standing up. "But then again it was just a misfire. A piece of advice: don't let anything distract you; even if it's a spell that's very powerful."
"Right." Lyon said nodding. "How could something like that happen? If Gray wasn't there Sasuke would've been gravely injured; that would be a powerful spell to take a hit from for someone like him - a ninja. He isn't an ice mage like Gray." He thought as he looked from Gray to Sasuke and back to Gray.
Sasuke stood and looked up at Gray. "Thanks Gray. You saved me."
"There's something about him that makes me do what I really do for anyone else." Gray thought as he looked into Sasuke's' onyx orbs.
"Hey-uh Gray?"
"Yup?"
"C-could I talk to you f-for a sec? Please?"
"Yeah sure Sasuke."
The two boys walked over toward the entrance to the training field.
"Okay I need to ask you something." Sasuke says.
"Go for it." Gray says.
"I know this may sound ridiculous, but..."
"What?"
"Why did you protect me?"
"That's not ridiculous."
"It's not?"
"No. If fact I'm glad you asked that."
"Why?"
"'Cause I was gonna tell ya myself at some point anyways."
"Then why?"
"Well ya know that moment ya have when ya don't think and ya just go with whatever your heart tells ya to do?"
"Yeah why?"
"That's one of those moments I had; I didn't think about what I was doing; I just acted, and I listened to what my heart said to do, and that was to protect ya from Lyon's misfiring of that ice spell; which by the way would've gravely injured someone even like you."
"You mean you-" Sasuke said before he stopped.
"What? What were ya gonna say? Sasuke?" Gray said trying to get Sasuke to snap out of anything he was under/in. He could see the fear in his eyes, and couldn't imagine how he must feel right about now with almost getting hit with Lyon's ice spell.
Everyone else wasn't paying attention except for Lyon who was watching intensively.
Sasuke finally snapped out of whatever he was under/in to heard Gray's voice; all of the fear returning to his thoughts; he became very shaky and his eyes shown every bit of fear, worry, and loneliness.
Gray pulled Sasuke into a warm embrace; making the blush that scattered across Sasuke's cheeks lightly intensify and brighten slightly, but Gray didn't pay any attention to that.
Sasuke didn't seem to care that it was there and simply ignored it.
Lyon was still watching, and seeing Gray hug Sasuke like he did made him exceedingly jealous, and somewhat shocked by Sasuke's reaction. "Ugh! Stupid Gray! How come HE gets to hug Sasuke and I don't? That's no fair!" He thought as he continued to watch Gray and Sasuke.
Gray pulled away, and noticed Sasuke's red face:
"Hey. What's wrong?"
"What do ya mean?"
"Why is your face so red? It kinda reminds me of a rose, but do ya have a fever?" Gray said feeling Sasuke's forehead. "Man your head's hot. Hm...oh! Try takin' your shirt off; maybe that'll help with the fact that your face is so hot." He said nodding to Sasuke's shirt.
"My shirt?"
"Yeah. That's probably the reason for your face bein' so hot. Give it a try."
"Okay." Sasuke said; feeling unsure about what Gray had just told him to do. He pulled his shirt off and made it disappear from his hands; his face turning a little less red, but making Lyon and Gray's faces turn a little red from seeing how built Sasuke was for a sixteen year old boy.
"Whoa. Where did THAT come from?" Gray thought as he caught a glimpse of Sasuke's abs.
Lyon on the other hand felt like he was going to have a nose bleed. "Oh. My. God. I wish I could've seen THOSE sooner!" He thought as a couple dirty images ran through his mind. "Oh no. No, no, no. None of that." He thought as he violently shaking his head in attempt to make the images disappear.
Sasuke looked over at Lyon who was still trying to get the images out of his head. "Are you okay Lyon?" He asks.
Lyon stopped when he finally got the images out of his head. "Huh? Oh yeah. I'm fine."
"Getting' a little imaginative aren't we Lyon?" Gray thought as he rolled his eyes; a smile had been placed on his lips.
Sasuke just smiled a little. "Hm. Okay then." He said shrugging.
Sakura walked over to Sasuke and latched onto his arm and giggled. "That was a very good fight Sasuke."
She looked over at Gray and smiled. "That was a very close call and nice save by the way Gray."
Gray grinned and scratched the back of his neck; a very slight blush creeping onto his face. "Hehe thanks Sakura."
"No problem."
Lyon felt jealous and didn't exactly know why, but he felt a small pain in his stomach that made him think. "Why do I feel jealous about this? Why do I feel jealous about Sakura talking to Gray, hugging Sasuke's arm and she's giggling about it? Why?"
Sasuke looked over a Lyon with a puzzled face. "What's up with you?" He asks sounding curious and a little concerned.
Lyon looked over at the puzzled genin. "It's nothing Sasuke." He said with a sheepish smile.
"Okay." Sasuke said before looking down at Sakura. "Can you please let go now?" He asks with a polite tone.
Sakura looked up at Sasuke. "Oh right sorry Sasuke." She says with a small smile.
Sasuke just smirked and punched Gray's arm. "How 'bout you crash at my place?"
Gray's head turned to Sasuke and he smiled; the blush that was already there had gotten just a little darker. "O-okay." He said; sort of sounding like he was laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing I was just thinking of something that a friend of mine did before I got here."
"Alright then. We should go."
"Huh? Why?"
"It's getting' dark and I really don't wanna meet up with an enemy ninja or something else." Sasuke said with a slightly worried/paranoid look in his eyes.
Gray nodded. "Right."
Sakura looked over at Lyon. "Did you wanna stay at my house?"
"Sure. Thank you." Lyon says with a smile.
"No problem." She said with a sweet smile.
Lyon smiled back and walked along side the pink-haired girl while watching Gray walk next to Sasuke; beginning to feel jealous of the other ice mage again.
Gray and Sasuke arrived at the Uchiha complex. A slight shiver ran down Sasuke's spine; still remembering the tragic incident that was caused by his older brother - Itachi.
Gray looked over at Sasuke to see a slight shakiness about him, and instinctively wrapped his arm around the genin's shoulders and rubbing them to help him get warm. "Man...does it get cold at night here or what?" he thought with a sigh and looked at Sasuke with concern in his eyes. "You okay?"
Sasuke slightly shivered again. "Y-yeah I'm just a little cold that's all."
"Well we should go inside then shouldn't we?"
"S-sure."
Gray and Sasuke walked inside, take their shoes off, and walk to Sasuke's room.
Sasuke has Gray turn around for a minute while he changed, but he didn't take too long.
"Can I look yet?" Gray asks.
"Y-yeah." Sasuke says as he fixes how his sweatpants sat on his hips.
"Sasuke wasn't cold before we got here. I wonder why he all the sudden so cold now." Gray thought as he sat down with Sasuke on his bed. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped Sasuke up; making a sheepish smile made its way onto the genin's face.
"Thanks." Sasuke softly says
"Yup." Gray said with a warm smile; finally figuring out what Lyon saw in Sasuke. "I finally understand now. Lyon saw that Sasuke had a kind heart, and not only the looks to kill, but he could be able to protect someone if he really had to or even WANTED to for that matter. He seems so innocent too, and for some reason I find that so cute, and it's just him too." He thought as he held Sasuke against his side with one arm around his shoulders.
Sasuke looked out the window and felt a chilling breeze go travel his spine; making him shiver against Gray's bare torso; the chill reminded him of the Uchiha macaque, and had seen his brothers face when he saw the full moon in the center view of his window.
Gray looked down at the raven-haired boy to see him almost burying his face into his side and the blanket. "Hey I have a question for ya." He says.
Sasuke looked up at his friend to see Gray's blue eyes meet the onyx orb of his own. "What?"
"Why are ya all the sudden so cold when you were fine before we got here?"
"I honestly don't know, and if I did know I'd tell ya."
"Alright well don't ditch that blanket then."
"I know." Sasuke said as he snuggled into Gray.
The blush that Gray thought had disappeared returned when he felt Sasuke's coldish face pressed up against his side; making him remember how Juvia would do that during the meteor shower, and how Lucy did that when they were on a mission and it had gotten cold; it made him smile.
