I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail.
"I'm so bored!" whined Naruto as he sat at the virtually empty table in the mess hall, "We've been an official guild for over a month and we haven't gotten a single quest delievered except from people in town!"
"Just give it time." said Kyôka as she came up behind Naruto with some food.
"You said that a month ago!" moaned Naruto in anguish, "I wanna go on a quest now!"
Kyôka just sighed as she sat down and ate while one of the nameless guild members brought her the mail. Naruto angrily began eating his breakfast while he began humming a tune.
"What are you humming?" asked Kyôka as she looked up from the newspaper.
"Just one of two old prayer songs to El Ragna." said Naruto as he continued to eat.
"El Ragna?" asked Kyôka again.
"The Dragon God." said Naruto, "El Ragna is said to be the first dragon created by the Ancient Ones. He's also said to be the dragon that raised Lady Ezra, the first Priestess. Actually, it's forbidden to sing both versions of the song at the same time."
"Why?" questioned Kyôka.
"That's just the way it's always been." said Naruto as he cotinued eating.
"Looks like some new quests came in." said Kyôka as she saw people gather around the board.
"Finally, a quest from out of town!" exclaimed one of the guild members.
"MINE!" shouted Naruto as he darted over to the quest board and tore the quest off.
Solve the Mystery of the Mysterious Deaths.
Reward: 100,000 Jewel
Naruto's mouth began watering at the thought of all that money before he grabbed Kyôka and dragged her out of the building.
Gleaming crimson blood flowed slowly down the arm of a child in the cold and dark night. Mard Geer calmly walked through a thick fog and stood in front of Naruto. He bowed respectfully then smirked sinisterly.

Sayla stared up at the full moon while floating calmly down a river. Kyôka gasped for breath as she sunk under the ocean when Jackal's hand reached out to her. Tempesta knelt down in a field of white flowers and bowed his head to Naruto under the night sky.

Mard caught several spines between his fingers that were aimed at Naruto standing behind him then threw them back. Jackel jumped into the air and darted to the side while throwing several glowing orbs that exploded. Naruto and an unknown person circled each other with their backs to the other as Naruto's eyes turned cerulean and started sparkling.

tooku yori mo ima wo musunda kareta hitomi wa
Tempesta swung his sword, creating a monstrous gale. Sayla came down and shot several blasts of energy from her hands. Kyôka landed a top the cathidral in Magnolia and frowned. Zeref walked through the ruins of his old home and calmly passed the bodies that littered the ground.

sono negai wa yoru wa munashiku asa wo tsurete kuru
Images of Zirconis, Scissor Runner, Levia, Motherglare, Atlas Flame, Grandeeney, Igneel, and Acnologia flashed before a giant diamond crystal holding Rinoa Shadowgale's body. Naruto placed his hand upon it while ghostly images of Erza and Mavis placed theirs on his shoulders. He then walked out with his companions and never looked back.

TARTAROS
The Phantom Killer
Naruto and Kyôka calmly walked down the road with Naruto grinning from ear to ear. All the while, Naruto played with a ring of gold and silver keys and hummed the song he was humming before they left.
"What are those?" asked Kyôka.
"My friends." said Naruto with a smile, "This was the only contact with the outside world I had before I left Tenrō Jima. Which reminds me..."
He held up a silver key and swung it.
"Hirake, Koinuza no Tobira!" declared Naruto, "Nikora!"
Several tendrils of light came together and formed something Kyôka didn't expect. It was a white dog with a round head and a carrot for a nose.
"A dog." said Kyôka in monotone, "Your friend is a dog."
"Hey!" shouted Naruto in a hurt tone, "Plue isn't a dog. He's my best friend."
"I thought his name was Nikora." said Kyôka.
"It is but he likes it when I call him Plue." said Naruto as he pulled Plue into a hug.
"Puuun." said Plue.
"I love you too, Plue!" exclaimed Naruto happily as he hugged Plue tighter.
"Anywho, we should be in Zentopia in about a day." said Kyôka as she turned away from Naruto and continued walking.
Naruto hurried to catch up to her as he placed Plue on top of his head.
(That Night)
In a Zentopian Church, a nun knelt down in front of countless lacrima and prayed.
"Up praying again?" asked an slightly elderly gentlemen wearing regal robes.
"Of course, Archbishop." said the nun as she stood up and turned around, "I'm giving thanks to the church for taking me in."
"To be honest, there were those who were against us taking you in." said the Archbishop, "But it is my intention to give shelter to those no matter how they look or act."
"I'm honored and humbled by your kindness, Archbishop." said the nun as the moonlight shone through the windows.
"Well, you should get to bed, Seilah." said the Archbishop.
Seilah bowed then calmly walked past the Archbishop, who went up to the lacrima and prayed as well. A moment later, blood was splattered on the crystals as the archbishop fell to the ground.
(The Following Morning)
"This place is amazing!" exclaimed Naruto as he seemed to teleport around the stone city of Zentopia as Kyôka continued walking.
"Naruto, stop goofing off and get down here!" shouted Kyôka at the boy.
Naruto appeared next to Kyôka and sulked as the older woman looked around.
"Something's wrong here." she said suspicsiously at the empty streets, "Where is everyone?"
Naruto raised his head and stopped in his tracks.
"Pain." he whispered.
"I'm sorry?" asked Kyôka as she turned to him.
"Pain." said Naruto a little louder, "Someone's in a lot of pain."
He took off quickly and Kyôka followed.
They arrived in the middle of the city just as a stake was sight ablaze with a woman that had horns on the sides of her head crying at the pain.
"There's nothing we can do here." said Kyôka, "Let's go, Naruto. Naruto?"
She looked at her side to find Naruto had disappeared. She suddenly realized what Naruto was doing and looked at the burning stake just as Naruto hit it and sent flying burning logs into the air. While everyone was screaming and running, Kyôka hurried over to Naruto just as he managed to untie the woman and tried to lift her onto his shoulder.
"This way!" came the voice of a young man to their right.
Kyôka groaned loudly as she grabbed the woman and Naruto then followed the man down an several streets and into a small house.
"Take her to the basement and keep quiet." ordered the man as he closed the door behind him and opened up a hidden trapdoor.
Naruto and Kyôka hurried down and Kyôka put the woman down as Naruto held his hands against her legs to begin healing them.
"What were you thinking?" asked Kyôka angrily, "You possibly just made us the most wanted criminals in the entire city."
"I used illussions to cast a spell to hide our faces." explained Naruto as his hands started glowing a little, "Besides, I can sense she was being executed for doing nothing."
"Well, we both agree on something." said the man as he came down upstairs, "I'm Will Neville. I'm a cardinal in the church. That woman is Seilah."
"Why was she being burned at the stake?" asked Naruto.
"They say she killed the Archbishop, which is total bullshit." said Will as he took over healing Seilah's legs.
"The Archbishop is dead?!" exclaimed Kyôka in disbelief.
"That's crazy!" said Naruto, "How could that happen?"
"I don't know." said Will, "But there have been mysterious murders the past couple of days and the Archbishop and I were the only ones to believe that Seilah didn't do it."
He removed his hands and stood up.
"I've done all I can." said Will as he turned to Naruto and Kyôka, "By the way, who are you two?"
"I'm Kyôka." said Kyôka with a bow.
"And I'm Naruto!" said Naruto with a toothy grin, "I'm the guild master of Tartaros!"
"Aren't you a little young to be a guild master?" questioned Will.
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" whined Naruto as he palmed his head, "We were here to find out who was behind all the murders lately, but it's probably now going to turn into a hunt for her."
"I need you both to stall for time while I smuggle Seilah out of the city." said Will, "Also try to find out who the real murderer is."
"We were offered 100,000 Jewel for our original job." said Kyôka, "Double it and we have a deal."
"Fine." said Will, "You both are going to need to change your clothes since everyone knows what you're wearing. I've got just the right things for you."
He then ran upstairs to get the clothes while Naruto held up one of his golden keys.
"Hirake, Shojokyū no Tobira!" declared Naruto, "Virgo!"
A woman with short pink hair and wearing a maid outfit shot out of the ground and bowed to Naruto.
"Yes, Ōji-sama?" asked the woman.
"Virgo, help the man upstairs get this woman out of the city undetected." said Naruto as he gestured to Seilah.
"As you wish." said Virgo.
(Ten Minutes Later)
"These are awesome!" exclaimed Naruto as he looked at his new clothes while he waited for Kyôka, "I've never had clothes this fancy before!"
"I was under the impression that you had only two sets of clothing, including that shirt I had to tear off to cool you down." said Kyôka as she exited the church office in her new outfit as well.
"You got me there." said Naruto as he scratched the back of his head and they headed to the cathedral.
Once inside, Kyôka got down on her knees at the alter and prayed. She looked over her shoulder and the standing Naruto and frowned.
"You're not praying?" she asked.
"No." said the disgruntled Naruto as he folded his arms, "Why would a pray to a god other than El Ragna?"
"I never knew you were so devoted to that god." said Kyôka as she stood up.
"Well, the church is wasting their time chasing after Seilah." said Naruto he covered his nose, "I'm smelling something other than Seilah mixed with the Archbishop's blood."
Kyôka looked at the barren ground then back up at Naruto.
"There's no blood here though." she said.
"What they should've done was leave it so they could collect evidence from it." said Naruto, "But it was cleaned up quickly so no evidence could be gathered. Which means someone doesn't want us to find out."
"How do you know Seilah didn't do it?" asked Kyôka.
"While they may have removed the evidence, they didn't remove the scent and even though it's mainly the Archbishop's, I can't smell Seilah's scent mixed with it." said Naruto as he coughed and hacked, "Can we please get out of here? It smells like rotten fish and dragon dung."
Kyôka sighed then left with Naruto while two large people watched from the shadows.
Sorry that I've been gone for so long. I went back to college so updates are going to be scarce for the time being.
