"School? We have to go to school?" Gajeel questioned.
"Yes, you do!" Minato said, "What'd you think you'd be doing spending my money like my wife?" he barked.
"Yeah sure why not." Rogue joked.
"Ah, no." Minato bopped him on the head.
Rogue smiled, almost dropping his cup.
"Yeah, you guys have to go to school." Kushina said.
The slayers groaned in annoyance with each other.
"Oh Minato, the school is uniform oriented." Kushina said.
"Ah! No no and no! You can't force me to wear a uniform." Natsu barked.
"Natsu honey, it's the best school in the area. And the only one who can afford you kids and your powerhouse abilities. So, suck it up and comb back your hair." Kushina said.
"Ahh, if I have to wear a uniform, my hair will stay in it's rag doll state." Natsu said, making everyone chuckle.
"So, I wanted to show you this." Kushina said with a smile.
She adjusted her red Floral & Chains Print Casual Blouse, and rubbed her hands on the back of her black ASOS High Waisted Pants with Ankle Zips.
"What's this?" Minato questioned adjusting his black suit.
He looked up at the tall building before wrapping his arm around his wife.
"I wanna buy it, and turn it into something." She said.
"What do you wanna turn it into?" he asked.
She smiled, "A bar, with a casino." She added.
Minato smiled evilly, "What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" he asked.
Kushina smiled, "I wanna form an underground advanced spy network." She explained.
"What for?" he asked getting concerned.
"We have five children who are powerhouses. I don't want what happened to happen a second time. Not with these kids, they deserve more than to have their childhoods taken with more misery." She said.
Minato nodded, "I agree with you, and I fully support you with this casino and bar." He added.
Kushina gushed and pressed her lips on his.
Minato smiled into the kiss.
"Can you not do that in public?" someone said behind them.
Kushina groaned turning around to face her sister, "What do you want?"
"Quit, talking to me like that. And did you tell your husband about your stupid plan?" Mito questioned.
"You in our business again?" he questioned.
"This is between family." Mito snapped.
"He is my family!" Kushina barked at her sister.
Mito turned up her face.
"What I do, has no business with you and this family. Besides aren't you in the middle of a divorce?" Kushina barked.
Mito sighed, "It's not my fault that my husband turned out to be in love with his best friend." She said.
"And it's not my fault it happened. So, stay out of my family and handle your own." Kushina barked pulling Minato along with her.
While Minato and Kushina were out that day, there were workers moving in and out all day making the slayers uneasy.
"Okay, we're done." Said one of the workers to Natsu.
"With what?" he asked.
"The rooms." the first worker answered.
Natsu paused for a moment, "They made rooms of us?" he asked.
The others all looked at each other.
"Yeah, they wanted us to make them special for you guys." The worker answered.
Natsu looked down at the ground for a moment.
"You know when you get older those will grow in." said a worker to Wendy. "What will grow in?" she questioned.
"Those." The worker pointed to Wendy's chest, with gave an evil smile. Wendy backed up a bit until Gajeel got in front of her.
"Beat it." He ordered.
The fat, tub worker backed off and left with the others.
The slayers sat on the couch looking at each other for a moment.
"Should we go check out the rooms?" Sting asked.
They all looked upstairs, slowly stood up, and made their way up the stairs to the new rooms available for them.
Gajeel pushed open the door to one of the rooms. The wallpaper was metal, shiny black. There was a small in the corner for his clothes that was set up like a jail cell. He chuckled a bit. Next to the bars of the closet was his king size bed with black lava sheets. A bed for a king. He looked towards the window that had a great view of the pool below. On the other side there was a small space for a desk and where the TV was along with two leather Latitude Run Dimaggio Lounge Chairs. He smiled, he liked it. His own room.
Sting and Rogue opened up a door to a room that was defiantly for them. They admired their wallpaper; it was bright white that faded into a dark galaxy magic color. They both smiled at each other as they checked out the rest of the room. There were two wide beds on opposite sides of the room. There was one with white sheets and a golden familiar logo on the front of it. 😊
The other one looked like a dark blue and black galaxy shade. He smiled and also admired the curtains around his part of the room.
"Sick." He smiled.
Sting played with the wooden sliding door divider on his side of the room.
"I like this!" he shouted.
Rogue smiled, messing with the clothes in the closet. Sting picked up a remote and pressed the green button. A flat screen came down from the ceiling.
"Ohhhh." Sting said. Rogue started laughing.
Natsu opened the door to his room, he smiled at the colors, a mix of fire; red, orange, yellow and purple. He turned to his right to see the king size bed with lava and rock bed sheets. The pillows were a plain dark grey color. He smiled at the texture of the room. There was a small area in front of the bed where the desk was. The TV was in the corner surrounded by three black armless lounge chairs. He smiled and ran his fingers across the wallpaper.
Wendy bounced around the room she found for herself. She had a baby blue, circle round bed. She was so happy to jump on it and admire her room. The blue beaded strings hanging around her bed. So gorgeous. Her walk-in closet. The flat screen on the wall. She loved it all.
"Well I see you're enjoying this." Natsu said.
"This room is amazing! It's my own room!" she giggled.
Natsu smiled as the boys all dog piled with her on the bed.
Minato walked into the town's meeting hall, where everyone was gathered. Hashirama looked ahead towards his soon to be ex-wife, Mito. She looked away from him as Mei and Tsunade took seats next to her to talk.
"Still frosty?" Minato asked sitting next to Hashirama.
"Mmmm, frosty doesn't begin to understand how my wife feels about me right now." He said.
"Well there's Madara's wife, he must be here." Minato said.
"I'll be right back." Hashirama said.
Madara Uchiha, with his long spiky black hair was the classic Uchiha. HOT! Hashirama came out of the meeting room which made Madara stop in his tracks.
"Madara."
"Hashirama."
There was an intense stare between them both, Hashirama walked up quickly to Madara. Madara moved to the side towards one of the closest and opened it up slipping inside. Hashirama followed him in.
"You still wanna sneak around in a closet?" Hashirama questioned.
"No, it's just sneaky and kind of hot to almost get caught." Madara said as Hashirama pressed his lips on his.
Madara pressed back as Hashirama pushed him into the wall of the closet.
"Mm!" Madara grunted as Hashirama lifted him up and wrapped his legs around his waist.
"Uh!" Madara grunted.
"We have to go to the meeting." Madara said when he pulled back, panting.
"We still got five minutes." Hashirama said.
"You wanna be late?" the Uchiha questioned.
"You're right, four then." He joked.
Madara chuckled a bit as they continued their secret, steamy grope fest.
In the meeting room, four minutes later, everyone was present and ready. Mito looked up at Magnolia's top council. Gildarts circled around the counter in his leather brown jacket with Makarov behind him and Ur Fullbuster. Just some of the founding families. Gildarts took a seat and caught eyes with her. Mito blushed quickly and put her head back down. Gildarts grinned, Hashirama glared. And Madara raised an eyebrow.
"Welcome." Said the last member to join, Danzo.
Minato's face angered, and so did Madara.
"What are you doing here Danzo?" Mito questioned.
"It's a town meeting." he snapped.
"And since when were you part of the town?" asked Guy.
"I've been a part." he snapped.
"Is there a problem?" Gildarts questioned.
"He's a dick." Minato said.
"What was that Minato?" Danzo questioned.
"You heard what I said, you're. a. dick." Minato barked back.
"Guys, hey." Asuma chimed in.
"Look Minato I understand that you're still angry-"Danzo started to say.
"Angry?" Minato's rose hardened as he stood up.
"Minato." Hashirama tried grabbing him.
Gildarts got a bit concerned.
"No no, I'm ten thousand miles past angry. I have to fight the urge to not kill you when I see you, because of you my KIDS ARE DEAD!" he shouted.
Hashirama tried to grab him again until Madara kicked him from under the table to be quiet.
"Minato...I am sorry about that...more than you know, but I did everything I could..." Danzo tried to say.
"DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD!? IF YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD THEN MY KIDS WOULDN'T BE DEAD! THEY'D BE HERE WITH ME! MY WIFE! THEY'D! BE! HERE!" he bellowed.
"Okay okay." Hashirama said.
He quickly pulling Minato into the hallway.
Madara got up and followed.
"Danzo." Mito chimed in.
"It's best for you to leave."
"Sorry, but you're not in control of that." He said.
"I am." Gildarts said.
Danzo turned to him.
"Out you go." he ordered.
Danzo turned up his face until Gildarts gave him another look, so did Makarov. Danzo got the hint and started to pack up his things.
In the hallway Minato was still angry, like a bull mad.
"Minato, Minato, hey hey. Easy easy." Hashirama said pinning Minato on the wall to calm him down.
"I wanna bash his head in every time I see him!" Minato said.
"Please, take a breather." Hashirama said.
"You good?" Madara questioned the blonde.
"God, I just wanna hurt him." Minato said.
"I know how you feel." Madara said.
"How?" Minato questioned.
"Bastard got in the way when I wanted to adopt my nephews from my alcoholic abusive brother." He said.
Minato sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry I gotta go. I gotta calm down."
"Hey." Gildarts said, suddenly behind them.
"You're the man who took in the dragon slayers right?" Gildarts asked.
Minato stared at him for a moment, but then nodded.
"Thanks." Gildarts said.
"What do you mean?" Minato asked.
"No one could ever get those kids out of the orphanage from that guy, and now that you have. I'm just glad those kids are safe now." Gildarts explained.
Minato gave him a nod, "Got any idea how much a powerhouse they are?" he asked.
"Dragon slayers are ancient magic, magic is based off of them. So, I'm guessing they had a huge amount of power. That people will want, including your bandaged friend in there." Gildarts explained, hinting at Danzo.
Minato shook his head in irritation.
"Hey, go get your wife, and chill out. Alright?" Madara said.
Minato turned to Madara and nodded to him, "Thanks. How are your nephews by the way?" he asked.
Madara scoffed for a moment, "They've been staying with me for the past month now. Thanks to my brother." He explained.
"How's Kakashi?" Hashirama questioned.
"He's been with me at my house, since their father kicked him out." Madara explained.
"Just because he's not your brother's son?" Hashirama asked.
"Gotta love my brother, right?" Madara joked.
Minato walked down the hallway and out of the building.
At home, Minato came in, in such a such a rage the slam of the door got everyone's attention.
"Minato, honey hey hey what's wrong?" Kushina hurried up to him.
"God!" Minato slammed his fist into the wall.
The slayers looked over the railing to see what was making him so angry.
"What's wrong? Did the town meeting go okay?" she asked.
"No, that prick Danzo was there. I wanted to bash his skull in!" Minato barked.
"Calm down." Kushina begged holding his shoulders as the slayers watched from the top floor.
Minato finally broke down and slid to the floor in tears.
"Baby..." Kushina hugged her husband.
"I can't take this pain...that asshole is one of the reasons it happened. He said he'd keep them safe." He sobbed.
Kushina hugged him tightly as he sobbed.
The slayers backed up from the railing.
"Who's this Danzo guy?' Wendy asked.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing he's one to the reasons why their kids are dead." Natsu said.
"Ya think?" Gajeel said.
"Easy easy, look they are both still grieving so the least we could do is...I guess ease up." Sting said.
"How so?" Rogue questioned.
"Go to school." Sting answered.
"Whyyyyyy?" Gajeel whined.
"Look, I don't wanna have to make their lives any harder. They've been nice to us, took us in, fed us, made us rooms, kept us safe. The least we could do is go to school." Sting said, "I don't wanna be an ass to people who might be good."
"Besides, considering everything they've been going through, they could just use a break." Rogue added.
The next morning, Kushina was cleaning up the kitchen from the breakfast she prepared for the slayers; pancakes, eggs, bacon, and with three types of fruits. Along with orange juice or apple juice.
"Alright, yall load up we gotta go." she said.
Kushina unlocked her black and white Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid SUV as Sting and Rogue piled into it while Wendy and Gajeel got into Minato's.
"Natsu." Minato said.
Natsu stopped at the doorway trying to adjust his burgundy colored Rothco Men's Classic MA-1 Nylon Flight Jacket.
"Yeah?" he questioned.
"Listen for a second." Minato said.
Natsu leaned on the door frame crossing his arms.
"Look, I know you haven't been the one to warm up to everything so far." Minato started.
"I'm a dad, I can sense these things." He continued.
Natsu adjusted his jacket, "It's not, it's not that I'm not grateful or anything, it's just...I don't open up to people very often or grow close to people unless it's them." He gestured towards the others in the car.
"And I know that and I can see that." Minato said.
Natsu looked away for a moment.
"Look, I'm not trying to be your father-" his voice trailed on.
"You're not my father." Natsu cut him off.
"And I know that, but you can't stop me from caring." Minato said.
Natsu made eye contact and shook his head, "Why? Why would you continue to care? Even after your kids? Why care for more?" Natsu asked. He was actually curious.
"It's the kind of person I am, can't change that." Minato said.
"So, you'd take on more pain?" Natsu asked.
"To keep people, I love alive and happy, yes. Which counts to more than just my blood." He explained. Natsu looked away for a moment.
What a man.
A leader.
Natsu gulped, "You're a great man." He said.
Minato gave him a nod, "Go on." He said.
Natsu walked over to the car and hopped in.
Minato looked up at the bright blue sky.
Arriving at Magnolia Academy for Power Youth, there were students all over the courtyard in uniforms and chit chatting.
"Well this'll be weird." Kushina said.
"Why?" Sting asked.
"You kids are the only ones here without uniforms yet." She explained.
"Greattttt because I just love eyes on me." Rogue said.
They all stepped out of the cars slowly, and looked at the entire big campus.
"Jesus Christ all mighty, who makes a school this big and how is anyone suppose to get work done here?" Minato said in awe.
"Simple, they don't." Natsu joked.
Minato smirked at him.
"Let's go, come on." Kushina said.
They followed her into the courtyard and into the school. Along the way the girls of the campus kept staring at the boys while the boys seemed to be like "WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Sasuke Uchiha looked up from one of the tables with his pals to see the slayers walking by.
"Who are they?" Kiba Inuzuka asked sitting behind Sasuke.
"No. Idea." Sasuke said slowly.
He studied them carefully just as Natsu looked up at him. Natsu kept eye contact until Gajeel got into his view. They walked further in until they were fully in the building.
Kushina looked around the school to find the front office, "Over here guys." She said.
They all followed her as some of the girls in the hallway were checking out the boys. Natsu looked up at a gorgeous light blonde-haired girl with beautiful brown eyes. They locked eyes, and for one moment, they were all that was in the room.
The girl seemed to snap out of it when the boy next to her, with long brown spiky hair squeezed her shoulder.
"You okay?" he asked.
She looked over her shoulder again towards Natsu who was still looking back at her.
The boys got their uniforms for the school while Wendy got her's. The boys' uniform consisted of; grey dress pants, a white button-down Polo shirt, and a black blazer jacket with red lining along the hem of the sleeves, the shoulders, and the lapels. While Wendy's uniform was of; a black asymmetric skirt, a white button Polo shirt like the boys, a red tie and gray knee-high socks.
The boys weren't too comfortable with Wendy looking like that, as Kushina knelt to Wendy's height.
"Are you comfortable in this sweetie?" she asked.
Wendy nodded, "I feel nice, but the knee socks itch." She said scratching her legs.
"Okay well if you're ever uncomfortable we can switch to tights okay?" Kushina said. Wendy nodded.
"Okay well we have your information and everything, we have enough data to put them in classes. They just need to supply us with some of their powers." Said the nurse.
"Why?" Kushina questioned.
"It's so we know what classes to put them in." the nurse answered.
"I can answer that for you, why do you need their power?" Kushina snapped.
Kind of fishy. The boys remained quiet as the nurse backed down from Kushina's growing rage.
After the supply test, even though Kushina watched, they stepped out of the office and into the hallway.
"This blazer is itchy." Rogue said adjusting the blazer on his arms.
"I agree, do we have to wear these?" Natsu questioned.
"Yes, sweetie you do. And no streaking for that matter." Kushina said.
"Aww how'd you know?" Natsu joked.
"Funny." She said running her hand over his face making him laugh.
"Alright, I'm gonna go help Wendy find her classes. Will you all be okay?" she asked.
Gajeel nodded, "I think we got it."
"Alright, we'll pick you guys up after school. Unless you wanna take the yellow bus of horror." She joked.
"ew." Sting stuck out his tongue.
Kushina hugged each of the boys and wishing them a good day. They all hugged her back with some caution. They were getting more comfortable.
The boys looked around the hallway seeing other multiple hallways that lead all over the place. The girls kept staring and the boys kept pointing.
"This is getting weird." Natsu said.
"I don't even know where to go." Rogue added.
"Maybe I can help you." Someone said behind them.
They all turned around to see a girl with long green hair and had on the girls' uniform. She was busty, with black I fantasy Fashion Women's Lace up Ankle Booties Punk Rock Rivet Chunky Heel Leather Military Combat Boots, and a white JOKHOO Women's Zip Front Stand Collar Military Light Jacket Zip Up Blazer on.
"My name is Hisui E. Fiore, I'm part of the welcoming committee of the academy and I'd be happy to show you guys around." she explained.
She was a gorgeous girl and looked like a pretty nice girl.
"Uh thanks, we'd appreciate that." Natsu said.
Hisui nodded and walked around them. They followed behind her as she showed them; the cafeteria, the library, the game room, the pool, the club meets room, the music room, etc.
She finally ended the tour outside in the courtyard.
"And this is the courtyard." She said turning on her heel to face them again.
The boys looked around and then faced her.
"Thanks for showing us around, probably gonna be lost for a week though." Sting said.
She giggled a bit.
"Hey! Hisui!" someone shouted behind her.
She turned around to Shikamaru Nara and his long-term girlfriend, Temari, who was sitting on his lap.
"Hey, Shikamaru! Temari. These are some new students we have this year." She said holding her arm up to show the four boys.
Shikamaru checked them out, "Ah, haven't had any new students in a while." He explained.
Natsu looked around again, "Is everyone here rich?" he asked.
"Eh, sorta. The wizards were here first, and then we ninja popped up. Let's just say, both sides don't always get along." Shikamaru said.
"It's tough to get comfortable." Temari said standing up from Shikamaru's lap. What a beauty.
The dragon slayers all looked at each other.
"Who are you guys anyway?" Shikamaru asked.
They all looked at each other.
"Uh, we just got here in town. We live with someone." Natsu explained.
"Someone?" Temari questioned.
"Kushina Uzuamki and Minato Namikaze." Sting clarified.
Shikamaru looked up, cleared his throat looking at his girlfriend who scratched her head. "Uh, how are they doing...like with their... children dying?" she asked.
"Good days and bad days." Sting answered.
"Did you know their children?" Rogue asked.
Shikamaru shook his head, "They were private. We knew they had kids, but there always something strange about them. Until everyone found out that they died." He explained.
The slayers looked at each other until Hisui ran her hand through her hair, awkwardly, and then shouted to the left, "Haku!"
They all turned to a boy with very long black hair and pretty eyes hurrying over with a stack of papers and books in his hands. He could pass for a girl, but he was defiantly boy on closer inspection.
"Hey." He huffed setting the papers down on the side of Shikamaru on the table.
"Busy much? Again?" Shikamaru asked.
"Don't start, the school year starts and crap piles up." Haku said.
Shikamaru chuckled, "Oh hey, we have some newbies." He explained.
Haku turned around facing the dragon slayers. He locked eyes with Rogue.
Rogue tilted his head to the side at Haku who immediately blushed. Haku quickly looked away as Rogue cracked an evil smirk.
"Yo!" shouted Kiba Inuzuka running up.
"What's up man?" Shikamaru asked.
"Uh, nothing we gotta go to class in a..." Kiba's voice trailed off to face the dragon slayers.
The very ones who intimidated his friend, Sasuke Uchiha.
Class started; the students took their seats. Sasuke was surrounded by a pool of his friends including Shikamaru, Kiba, and a few others. Natsu and his brothers slid into the classroom and hung off by the door looking around for where to sit.
"Oh, uh hello, everyone! Everyone! We have some new students today, please welcome them nicely." Said the teacher, Gildarts Clive.
"Oh, oh uh…. you all are from the orphanage…the dragon slayers." He explained.
Everyone looked up from their desks in awe as Natsu rubbed his arm uncomfortably.
"Uh, uh you guys can take a seat anywhere you`d like, that are open." He said.
"Dragon slayers huh?" Laxus Dreyar said standing up.
"Laxus..." Gildarts warned.
"What? This is my territory, I`m the only dragon slayer this place has seen in decades, and now these punks walk in on MY territory." The blonde barked.
Gajeel rolled his eyes at Laxus and motioned for his brothers to follow him towards the back.
"Laxus if you honestly think you are the only dragon slayer in the world then you defiantly have your own head up your ass." Gildarts said.
The class irrupted in laughter.
"You`re not even a full blood dragon slayer, you have flaws." Sasuke said from the front of the classroom.
"Sasuke." Gildarts warned.
"What`s that supposed to mean Uchihia?" barked Laxus.
Sasuke stood up turning around to face him, "It means you were given the power of the dragon slayer, not born with it like real dragon slayers are suppose to. That means they are probably the real deal." He said.
"Uchiha I will break your face." Laxus barked.
"Oh yeah, big boy always has to resort to violence to get your way. So original." Sasuke snarked.
"That`s enough! The both of you, sit down." Gildarts barked.
"Well how do we know they are real dragon slayers?" asked Mirajane Strauss.
"Are we supposed to put on a puppet show, I mean Jesus Christ." Sting muttered to Rogue who shrugged.
"Probably not even the real deal." He joked.
Gajeel had enough of this, he turned around and shot his metal arm right at Laxus landing a punch to the face sending Laxus flying into the wall behind him.
"Gajeel!" shouted Sting.
"The next time you wanna talk crap about someone make sure you get your facts correct." Gajeel snapped as Natsu pressed his hand into Gajeel`s chest pushing him back.
"Chill out, chill out." Natsu said into Gajeel's ear to calm him down.
"Who the hell do you think your talking to?!" Laxus barked hopping over desks to get to Gajeel.
"Hey hey!" Natsu pushed the hardhead back a minute as Sting and Rogue got involved as everyone started standing up.
"Chill out." Natsu said, his hand lit up a bit in fire as he burned Laxus's chest.
"All of you sit down!" Gildarts shouted. His voice echoed making everyone sit down.
After class, Sasuke pulled over to the side with his friends to talk about the dragon slayers.
"What's up with these new guys?" Sasuke questioned.
"What do you mean?" Kiba asked.
"They totally rubbed off Laxus the wrong way." Shikamaru said.
Sasuke activated his eyes, to see their power supply.
MASSIVE!
