"Kyuubi talking"

After escaping the hellhole known as the Tower of Heaven, Erza Scarlet was utterly exhausted. She was currently heading toward the mage guild called Fairy Tail to keep her promise she made. She was scared out of her mind when she was escaping but knew it would be worth it for her freedom.

She had been traveling for about a week and was walking in a forest.

'I wonder if Fairy Tail is like what everyone said it was' Erza thought for what seemed like the millionth time.

She decided to stop in a clearing to rest for the night. While she was looking around the clearing she spotted a person lying on the ground.

As she cautiously walked closer she noticed it was a boy about her age with blonde hair and strange whisker marks on his cheeks.

She also noticed that he had holes and slashes on his clothes and a bit of blood. She instantly ran over to him to check on him. He had a few bruises and multiple cuts as far as she could see. Luckily none of them was life threatening. She saw that he was wearing a black shirt with a red spiral on the front with blue shorts. However, both looked too ragged to wear.

She couldn't complain though, she wasn't wearing anything better, she was wearing some rags that the slavers gave to everyone.

While she was looking at his clothes she noticed that his injuries were healing much faster than it should have normally healed.

She decided to stay here to see if he was alright after he woke up. She took out a blanket from a bag she got a few days ago and covered him up while she went to get firewood.

Naruto woke up dazed in a familiar hallway. Naruto got up and went to where Kyuubi was to see if she was ok.

When he got to the room she was in he was met with a big surprise, the once impenetrable gates that locked Kyuubi in, was damaged and was losing some segments.

Naruto ran straight through the bars to see if the one person who took care of him was alright.

After searching for a few minutes, he found the Kyuubi in lying on the ground breathing hard.

"Kyuubi, are you ok?" Naruto asked frantically.

Kyuubi lifted her head "Y-Yeah, just a little winded from bringing us here"

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief at seeing her ok "So, where are we?"

"I'm not sure Kit, I have been keeping an eye outside and I don't recognize the area at all" Kyuubi answered

"Ok, so anything interesting happen?"

"A girl around your age walked into the clearing to see if you were alright" She reported

"Oh, maybe I could ask her where we are" Naruto suggested

"Wouldn't hurt to try" Kyuubi stated "By the way Kit, it seems that coming hare seemed to weaken the seal, I'm going to see what we can do with it"

Naruto's face lit up with excitement"So, you might be able to come out of the seal?"

Kyuubi smiled at his excitement and replied "It could be possible, like I said, I'll take a look. Go and ask about where we are while I check it out"

"Alright, see ya later!" Naruto said before leaving.

(Outside Naruto's Mindscape)

When Naruto woke up he noticed it was well after dark. He saw who he guessed was the girl Kyuubi was talking about putting some wood onto a fire.

The girl turned around and saw he was awake. "Good, you're awake, are you ok?" she asked

Naruto stretched and replied "Yeah, I'll live, thanks for helping me"

"It was no problem, so where are you from?" She asked.

"I'm not from here, but a village called Konoha" Naruto told her.

"Konoha? I've never heard of a village called that." She asked confused

Naruto scratch the back of his head "To be honest I think it's in a different world then this one."

"W-What! Well I guess it is possible but a little bit far-fetched if you ask me"

"You're telling me… sorry I never caught your name"

"I'm Erza Scarlet"

Naruto smiled "Nice to meet you Erza , name's Naruto Uzumaki" he replied happily

Erza looked at him strangely "Naruto is kind of a strange name"

"I get that a lot"

They both took a moment to study each other.

Erza already knew that he had blonde hair and 3 whisker marks on each cheek. But now she saw that he had extremely blue eyes. He was a little bit taller than her but only by about 3 inches.

Naruto saw that like her name, she had scarlet hair that reached her shoulders. He also noticed that she had brown eyes but her right one was covered by a medical eye patch. Making a mental note to ask later. He also noticed that the clothes she wore resembled what he would guess slaves were given. Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, he didn't ask.

They both saw the pain and sadness in their eyes. They decided that it meant one thing.

They both had endured a similar suffering.
