Here's the next chapter!

Thanks to swsk117 and Conan-Ai for being my first reviewers! As well as to everyone who followed or gave me a favorite. And thanks to MrsAnimeNerd for beta-reading. This chapter wouldn't have turned out as good without her help.

Disclaimer: Do I own Naruto and Fairy Tail? NOPE!


Sakura opened her eyes to a puddle on a cold basement floor. It was chilly and damp, hence the puddle.

She didn't know where she was. She could remember walking down the street with her teammates on either side of her, her sensei in front of them. Where am I?

She got up, preparing to fight. She had no weapons, though she told herself she wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Don't even think about it." I voice murmured, spiking Sakura's fear.

Naruto… Sasuke… Kakashi-sensei… They weren't with her this time. It was bad enough to have no one to watch her back, but even more to have no weapons.

"Who's there!?" Sakura blared, shaking, but with a hint of determination.

Her voice sounded strange... It was if it was not quite her own. This further added to her unease.

A blue haired woman appeared from the gloom, a stony expression on her face.

"I won't hurt you." she assured. Her expression however, said that she didn't care either way.

"So, what is it that you want from me? Where's the rest of my team?" Sakura demanded, careful not to let too much of her panic slip into her voice.

"They're wherever you left them. If you haven't noticed, you're in my niece's body."

"W-what are you saying?"

Sakura's breath hitched.

"If you want to see, my bathroom's upstairs." the woman interrupted.

"May I have an explanation?"

"You'll get one, just wait. Stop testing my patience."

Sakura huffed, giving the woman a glare that she hoped Sasuke would be proud of. She pounded up the creaky old wooden stairs, grumbling as she went.

When Sakura saw her appearance in the woman's bathroom mirror, she knew that the seemingly crazy woman was in fact, not crazy at all.

Sakura was not Sakura. The girl had blue hair that curled like waves at the bottom and deep blue eyes framed heavily with eyelashes. Her skin was milky pale, like a porcelain doll. She wore a heavy navy blue dress with black leggings underneath and black rubber boots. A teru teru bozu doll was attached to her shawl which was navy blue and rimmed with white fur. The girl was beautiful, but she was not Sakura.

Sakura was horrified, having absolutely no clue how she ended up in the girl's body.

The rain tapped violently against the roof of the woman's house, as her eyes watered, somehow expressing her emotions, mirroring them perfectly. As her fear climbed, the rain patted harder, growing more violent.

"Control yourself. That's the first lesson to being a rain woman."

Sakura turned to the bathroom door, glaring into the eyes of the returned woman with tearful eyes.

"What do you mean!?" Sakura growled, narrowing her eyes.

"Could you keep the rain to a light drizzle? It reflects your emotions. You'll get your body back in a week."

"A week!?"

"The woman who performed the spell left last night. I can't do anything to reverse it. Only she knows how."

"So, what do you suppose I do now?"

"Your name is for the time being is Juvia Lockster. You're a twelve year old water mage. Your parents are long dead. You will travel to a guild called Fairy Tail. They're always taking in orphans. Come back at the end of the week. There's a backpack by the door with everything you need to get there. Now, get out of my sight!"

"Where am I? You at least have to tell me that!"

"I'm part of the element four at Phantom Lord. I go on missions. In fact, if I don't leave now, I'll be late. Fairy Tail can explain. There's a map in the bag."

That being said, Sakura took the bag and left, busting into the showering pebbled street. She dug through the bag, hoping to find an umbrella, telling herself that if there wasn't one, she was going right back into that dreaded woman's home and demanding for one.

To her relief, there was a small heart patterned pink umbrella under a train ticket, some foreign money reading "Jewels", and a map. The money also read "Kingdom of Fiore". The train ticket read "from Hargeon to Magnolia". Thankfully, Sakura now knew where she was, but it wasn't anywhere close to where she was from.

Not knowing what else to do, Sakura held the map in front of her and trudged toward the train station.


Sakura stood in the rain with Juvia's pink umbrella in front of the so called Fairy Tail. The trip form Hargeon to Magnolia had been only an hour or so long, to Sakura's relief. It was bad enough that she was in an unknown world, but it would have been worse if she had to travel across one of that world's countries.

She didn't want to listen to the grouchy woman, but she didn't have much of a choice. There was only enough food in the bag to last the trip from Hargeon to Magnolia.

Sakura took a breath and knocked three times on the large wooden doors.

"You can walk in. There's no need to knock."

Sakura turned.

An armoured girl with a long scarlet braid stood behind her.

"Hi. I'm Juvia. My aunt sent me here."

"Oh, master said something about someone joining us for a bit. I'm Erza." The girl said, offering a welcoming smile.

Erza pushed the doors open with a thud and a screach that could only have been a door-slapped person.

Fairy Tail was pure chaos. There were no other words to describe it. There were mugs of sake everywhere. A girl about Sakura's age was drinking underage. Two tables were overturned. A pink haired boy and a black haired boy were having a fist fight in the middle of the hall.

"Enough!" Erza boomed.

Everyone halted in response. The fighting stopped, though the drinking girl kept chugging it down… She was actually being encouraged. The two fist fighting boys looked like a serial killer was coming for them.

Erza stomped over to the now horrified boys, picked them up by their hair, knocked their heads together, turned to Sakura, smiled and said "Welcome to Fairy Tail."

"Master, Juvia-san is here." Erza stated, lightly (At least as lightly as Erza possibly could.) pushing Sakura towards the so called Master.

Sakura made sure to give her a slight dirty look, which was returned with an even more dirty dirty look. It was so deadly that it gave Sakura the shivers. For one of the most feared of Sasuke's fan girls, that was saying a lot.

"Juvia eh? I'm Master Makarov Your aunt sent a letter over. Welcome to fairy Tail." The Master welcomed, smiling up at Sakura. He was a stumpy old man with a… jester hat perched upon his white tuffs of hair.

"Hello." Sakura greeted politely, returning the smile.

"Feel free to think of Fairy Tail as a home away from home."

Sakura thought it was a bit too far away from home for her tastes, but she didn't express her dilemma. They probably wouldn't believe that she was from a whole other world, a world without these so called "guilds".

"Thank you very much."

"My pleasure. You'll find that most the people here are friendly, even if there are often brawls."

Makarov then looked over to Erza who was standing obediently at his side.

"Erza, would you mind showing Juvia where she will be staying? I'm sure she would like to put her things away."

Erza nodded, ordering Sakura to follow.

Not wanting to provoke Erza's wrath, Sakura obeyed, silently padding after the armored girl. They walked that way for a few minutes, Sakura marveling at the various buildings along the way. It was facinating knowing that an entire world existed outside of your own.

"Fairy Hills…" Sakura read, gazing at the sign above the building's door.

"That's it." Erza confirmed a proud look on her face, twisting the knob and opening the door. "Most of us girls live here, though you'll have to room with one of us. I'm afraid I bought up all the extra rooms, so they're currently filled with armour."

Sakura and Erza entered the lobby of said dorm, a hotel-like entryway composed of a long desk with an opposing lime green couch on the other side of the room.

Sakura blinked at her, dumbstruck and amazed that Erza could possibly own that much armour. She wondered if Erza was bluffing, then denied the thought due to Erza's apparent serious nature.

Erza abruptly turned the corner, heading for the stairwell, to which Sakura obediently followed. They began effortlessly climbing up the double staircase.

Sakura gave Erza a curious glance, wondering just how she was able to wear all that armor and still not break a sweat going up the stairs. It had to be heavy. Erza however, didn't notice the blatant stares that Sakura was giving her. For her, such looks were a daily occurrence.

"So who will I stay with?"

"Hmm… You could stay with me if you'd like, but most of us wouldn't mind the company, so I guess you could meet a few of the girls before deciding."

Sakura nodded in response.

Erza halted at the door next to the stairwell.

"This wing's mine, so I guess you can check out this one first." Erza stated, turning the knob.

The door opened with a push, revealing a museum of armor.

There was armor on the walls, a suit lying across the bed, not to mention deadly sharp weapons everywhere. It made most ninja's weapons closets look like a kitchen drawer, and Sakura was pretty sure the archway on the side of the room actually led to other armor display rooms.

"You have a nice collection of armor." Sakura complimented, more out of pure amazement than trying to be nice.

Erza beamed, an enthusiastic smile spreading across her face.

"I do don't I? Want to see my collection?" Erza asked, undeniably.

"Okay." Sakura decided, knowing that she didn't have much of a choice anyway.

With that, Sakura was pulled into another section of Erza's armor emporium.

Erza made sure to explain just how she got every one of them and what abilities they each had.

Sakura couldn't deny that it was fascinating. The girl had a suit of armour for everything and a matching sword.

The weapon hoarder even let Sakura try on one of her armours, though she flopped over from the weight, Erza barely catching her fall before she face planted.

When they reached the end, Sakura was thoroughly exhausted, having stubbornly tried to at least be able to wear one of the armours. It proved to be a very straining workout. Sakura was almost positive that Erza wasn't human.

"This world…" she bluntly decided. "Is full of aliens."


Sakura knocked on the third girl's door, hoping that this one wasn't as crazy as the others.

One girl named Laki had been fond of torture devices. Sakura was not staying there and had only stayed long enough to politely introduce herself. She was quite sure she would never forget how eerie the place was, assuring herself there was a chance that she wouldn't have a dream about Laki's grimsome finds.

Sakura had spent a good hour in a girl named Evergreen's room, but not because she liked Evergreen. They didn't get along at all. As soon as Evergreen had made a haughty comment about how she didn't like Sakura's hairstyle (Well, Juvia's clothing to be exact.), Sakura commented that having a statue of a man with his "parts" hanging out in the middle of a bedroom wasn't exactly the most understandable object to have in one's bedroom. That argument went on for a long long time and Erza, who happened to hear the argument (It was a loud argument.), came in to put a stop to it. Sakura was only given a death glare, as Erza was still hoping that she would get a roommate. Evergreen's ball flashing statue got its head chopped off and Sakura was pretty sure she could still hear Evergreen screaming "IT'S AN ARTIFACT!"

"Come in." a soft, but sweet voice welcomed.

Sakura hoped that this girl was normal, as she nudged the door open.

There were books everywhere, and Sakura thought "Well, this girl, I can handle…"

Sakura liked to read herself, and has quite impressed with the girl's collection. She did wonder however, if the girl was as agreeable as her room, and if she even had a bed under all of those books, or if she slept on a pillow of hardcovers. Sakura figured that she could make do with that, as sometimes missions called for rough sleeping arrangements, like "the night of the living fart" (Naruto, that is not normal.) when Sasuke was pretty sure that they had to kill Naruto for disturbing the dead with such noises (They had to sleep in a graveyard.). In comparison, sleeping on books could be handled.

In the center of the room, with numerous books opened around her, lay a small girl with unruly blue curls and an adorable red and yellow dress, lifting her head up to meet Sakura's (Juvia's) eyes with her hazel orbs.

"Hi, I'm Juvia. I'll be here for a week until I have to go back to my aunt's."

"Oh hi, I'm Levy. It's nice to meet you." The girl welcomed, pushing her red reading glasses up. "Where are you staying? I don't think there's another room, unless Erza finally gave away one of hers…"

"I'm supposed to stay at Fairy Hills, but I have to room with someone…"

"Well, you're welcome to stay here. I haven't a lot of room, but the offer still stands." Levy offered, giving Sakura a soft smile.

"Thank you. The others are quite… ah… hard to handle."

Levy gave a short giggle, understanding.

"Hmm, well, I'll dig my bed out." Levy stated, getting up off the floor. "There should be a mattress in the closet for when one of the girls stays over…"

Wow, I even get a bed…
