Hey everyone. Thanks for all your reviews. I am grateful for every single one of you who did review. Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
"I do want to stay, but I can't join yet." said Naruto. "I'm not strong enough yet. I want to become strong and see all that I can in this new world."
"You can become strong here. You can see anything you want when you go out on job requests." said Makarov.
"I know, but I'm not strong enough to be of any help to the other members. I don't want to hold them back because of my lack of power and knowledge. I want to understand this new power I have. I knocked out all the members when I lost control. I need to learn control." said Naruto.
Makarov sighed. He knew that Naruto had a good point. The will of fire magic was dangerous if left alone. He knew Naruto had to test out his new powers and doing it where there were a lot of people can prove to be dangerous. He needed to train alone, but Naruto had been alone all his life. He didn't want to send the boy out into a new world without having something to come back to like friends. He thought that maybe he can take care of his lack of knowledge first.
"I understand Naruto, but I want you to stay. At least for a week. I want you to learn more about this world before you leave. It is necessary. Or else you might end up in a bad situation." said Makarov.
As they were talking the other guild members were still fighting. Making a mess of the guild and acting so childish. They didn't hear that Naruto wanted to postpone joining the guild. Naruto knew that he did need to learn all about what this new world had to offer. He thought a week won't be so bad to wait. He knew that Makarov was right.
"All right I'll stay for a week, but in return I ask for only one day of your time. You seem to know a little about my new power. I want your opinion on how I am using It." said Naruto.
"That seems fair. When we head out I'll help you for a day." said Makarov. "But why only one day? Do you think that will be enough time for me to explain it to you?"
"Yes, and it won't be right away. I want you to explain it to me. Then I will go off on my own. In three months I will send you a letter saying where to meet me. Then you will observe my progress and give me a few pointers. Tell me what I'm doing wrong and then you will leave." said Naruto.
"After that how long will you be gone?" asked Makarov.
"One year." replied Naruto. "In one year I will return."
"All right I'll remember that. One year you will come back and be part of Fairy Tail." said Makarov.
"Don't worry I never go back on my word." said Naruto with a smile.
The guild finally calmed down. They were all beat up. They then all got some drinks and started drinking laughing a doing all the stupid things they always do. Natsu came up to Naruto and the master.
"Let's fight right now!" yelled an excited Natsu.
"Natsu he has yet to recover. You are going to have to wait." said Makarov.
"Besides even if I was to fight you right now I would lose." said Naruto.
"What are you talking about, you're strong. You beat us all right? That was you? How did you do it?" asked Natsu.
All the younger members of the guild came over and sat down on the table that Naruto was leaning on. Since they sat down he sat down too. He looked at them and they were waiting to hear his answer. They were all looking at him like he was about to tell them a bed time story. He can see they were eager to hear about his magic.
"It was unintentional. In my moment of great depression I awakened this new power. Makarov said it is an old kind of magic. He called it the will of fire. Which is kind of funny." said Naruto thinking about the name of his magic. It seemed like it was his destiny to use the will of fire.
"But you said you were fighting your best friend. If you just awakened this power then how were you fighting your friend?" asked Mira.
"I will no longer rely on that power. I'm now starting a new life here. I don't want to be who I was. I will be better using this new magic." said Naruto. Then he felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry for the dramatic speech."
"Don't worry we like dramatic speeches here." said Makarov. They all smiled at Naruto and he felt better.
"So you are staying?" asked Levy.
"For now I will stay, but I want to leave for a little while and train to use my magic." said Naruto.
"You're leaving? When?" asked Levy.
"In a week. My power is dangerous and unstable. I could end up harming someone." said Naruto.
"How long will you be gone for?" asked Levy
"A little over a year, and by the time I come back I will be stronger." said Naruto. He then looked at Natsu. "When I come back ask me to fight you Natsu."
"Yeah. I will, and I'll win." said Natsu.
"I'm sure you will do just fine." said Naruto not wanting to sound cocky. "I just realized something. You all know who I am, but I don't know who you are."
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, and this is Happy." said Natsu with a grin and pointed at happy.
"My name is Erza Scarlet." said Erza.
"My name is Gray Fullbuster." said Gray.
"My name is Mirajane Strauss." said Mira.
"My name is Elfman Strauss." said Elfman a little shy.
"My name is Lisanna Strauss." said Lisanna.
"You are related?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah, I'm the youngest and Mira is the oldest." replied Lisanna.
"oh." said Naruto.
"My name is Cana Alberona." said Cana.
"My name is Jet." said Jet
"My name is Droy." said Droy.
"My name is Levy McGarden." said Levy.
"It's nice to meet all of you." said Naruto with a smile. "I hope we can become friends."
"What are you talking about?" said Natsu. "We already are friends. You're going to join Fairy Tail right? That makes you one of us."
Naruto smiled a little at this. He felt a little warm inside by being near these people who would give their friendship so easy. They spend some time talking between themselves. They asked him about himself. He tried to be as truthful as he could. Naruto felt right sitting there with them. They had asked him if he wanted to eat. He asked for ramen. It was pretty good. He had fun, and laughed with them. He laughed at their antics. They bragged about their skills and the jobs they had done. He had never had this much fun.
It was interesting seeing how much competition there was. Both Natsu and Gray were rivals as were Erza and Mirajane. This seemed like a fun place. It made him sad that he would be leaving in a week. The quickly passed and everyone was heading home. Naruto saw the Master walking to him.
"Hey old man." said Naruto. "Where is everyone going?"
"They are going home." Makarov said.
"Oh, Naruto you don't have a place to stay right?" asked Levy worried for him.
"Don't worry I'll think of something." said Naruto with a smile making her blush.
"You idiot, you aren't well yet. You will have to remain here for now." said Makarov.
Levy felt a little better knowing Naruto had somewhere to stay. She wasn't 100% sure if Naruto will be allowed to stay at the guild. She didn't know why, but she wanted him to be safe.
After Naruto said goodbye to his new friends he left back to the room where he was during the two weeks. He heard the guild completely quiet. This was weird after all the noise during the day. He slept in peace this night thinking of a bright tomorrow.
Time skip next two days later
The guild was lively as usual. Naruto was sitting alone reading. He had a stack of books next to him. He was reading a book about the currency of Earth land. He already read about the history of this place. Important events that have happened. Even if it was all new to him and knew he had to do this he still found reading history boring.
All his other friends went out of job requests early in the day. They felt bad for leaving but they needed to continue to take jobs. He told them not to worry about him. This is how Levy found Naruto.
Levy had left with Jet and Droy early in the morning. She had seen Naruto reading in the corner and walked over to him. Jet and Droy didn't follow her; they went to let the master know they were back. She stood there until Naruto noticed her.
"Oh, hey what's up?" asked Naruto.
"Can I join you?" asked Levy.
"Yeah, have a seat." said Naruto moving some of his books so they won't get in the way. She sat down in front of him.
"I didn't know you liked to read." said Levy realizing
"Not really." said Naruto.
"Then why do you have so many books?" asked Levy.
"Just want to learn all I can." said Naruto said with a smile.
"I see you have a lot of books. You should use these." said Levy handing him some glasses.
"What are these?" asked Naruto.
"They are called the Gale-Force Reading Glasses." said Levy. "They help you read faster. These are second-grade 18X. With this you can read all those books much faster."
'Wow this world is amazing. Now I can finish reading much faster.' thought Naruto. "Thanks Levy your amazing." Levy blushed at the complement and smiled.
"You're welcome Naruto." said Levy.
"You must like to read don't you?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, I enjoy reading. When I don't have enough time I use the glasses." said Levy.
"What kind of books do you like?" asked Naruto.
"I like good story's that catch my interest." said Levy. "What about you Naruto?"
"I was never good at reading. I never really had the attention span to sit down and read." said Naruto. "I never found anything that caught my interest. I never knew what to look for."
"You want me to tell you what you might like?" asked Levy. "I can recommend some to you.
"All right. If you don't mind." said Naruto.
"Read Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler. It's a great book." said Levy.
"Frozen Fire? What's it about?" asked Naruto.
"Read it and you'll find out." said Levy smiling a little.
"What? You're not going to give me a summery?" asked Naruto.
"No, you should read it. I don't like giving or getting to much information when it comes to books." said Levy "Or else the story isn't fun anymore."
"Fine whatever." said Naruto pouting a little. Levy giggled a little at his reaction. "So what other books do you recommend?"
"Well there are so many, but I really liked the body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-ucci." said Levy.
"I suppose you won't tell me what that one is about either." said Naruto.
"Yup, you'll have to read It." said Levy. Naruto groaned and Levy laughed.
"So I never asked you what kind of magic do you use?" asked Naruto.
"I use solid script. It lets me turn words I make into what the word says." said Levy.
"That sounds cool! Let me see!" said Naruto excited.
Levy made the word Heat appear and then it turned into blue fire. After a moment it went out. She looked at Naruto. He had a smile on his face.
"I think that kind of magic suits you." said Naruto. "For a person who likes to read you have the perfect magic."
Levy blushed at his compliments. He seemed to be very honest about what he just said and it made here feel good.
"Thanks Naruto." said Levy.
Naruto had seen the other's magic ability's. He thought they were all exciting but a magic where you can make what you need seemed very useful. He found spending time with Levy was fun. They talked about what books he should read and she helped him understand words he didn't understand. She stood and took a seat next to him in order to help him. He grew frustrated when he needed her help. She giggled and told him what he needed to know. The day quickly made way to the late afternoon. They had eaten lunch together and Naruto had finished his stack of books.
As the day came to a close the other young guild members returned, and with them they brought the noise of arguments and bragging. Debating who was better and who had the harder request. It was amusing to watch. They came over to where Naruto and Levy were sitting. Naruto went and put away the books the master had given him to read. They all got something to eat and started talking to Naruto.
"So why you reading so much Naruto?" asked Natsu.
"Just trying to learn everything I can." said Naruto.
"That's not a good answer. Tell us." demanded Mirajane.
"I already did." insisted Naruto.
"You and Levy are so alike. Reading all the time. Two peas in a pod." said Gray.
"That may be true, but that doesn't mean we like to see your two peas in a pod. Stop taking off your cloths! I'm trying to eat!" said Naruto.
"Oh, man where are my clothes?" said Gray looking around for his cloths. He put them on after finding them.
"Don't you get tired of only eating ramen?" asked Erza.
"No, and I'll tell you why." said Naruto.
"Why?" said Cana.
"Yeah, tell us." said Natsu.
"I would also like to know." said Levy.
"Because ramen is food for the gods!" yelled Naruto holding up his bowl. Everyone blinked at what he said and were dumbfounded. "I tell you the truth when I say it's the best food in the world!"
Everyone laughed and Naruto joined them. They all laughed and told him about their quests and said how he should come with them and be on their team when he joined Fairy Tail. He said he would go with all of them when he comes back.
After everyone started to leave. Levy and Naruto were left sitting on the table. Jet and Droy came over. They looked a little annoyed. They thought she was going to say hi to the guy and leave him to his reading.
"Levy, how can you ignore us like that?" asked Jet.
"You could have called us over." said Droy.
They felt bad about being ignored by the girl they liked. They wanted to come over and sit with them, but even if they did they felt they wouldn't be noticed and that would have felt worse. They didn't know how to handle this new situation they were in. Naruto saw the annoyed looks they were giving him. He wondered what he did to earn such a look. He thought he felt a little jealousy in them.
"Your guys are just jealous." said Cana on her way out.
"What! Jealous!" yelled Droy.
"Of who! This guy!" yelled Jet pointing at Naruto.
"Yeah, because she spent the whole day with him!" yelled Cana as she exited.
"Shut up!" yelled both of them embarrassed.
"I'm sorry guys. I guess I was having too much fun." said Levy with an apologetic smile. "I'll see you tomorrow Naruto." She left after he gave her back her glasses. After she left Jet and Droy looked at him.
"We're watching you buddy." said Jet. They left leaving Naruto confused.
Time skip end of the week
Naruto was in the medical wing were he had stayed during that last three weeks. Makarov had given him a pack with some spare cloths. Makarov was standing next to him. He was almost ready to leave. It was about noon right now. He had breakfast with his new friends. Everything seemed like a regular day until Levy asked him when he was leaving. The others seemed to forget that he was leaving on this day.
The master was holding another pack. He handed it to Naruto. Naruto looked at the pack questionably. It didn't feel too heavy.
"What's this?" Naruto asked.
"There is a book about your magic in there. I found it some time ago. I found the following items in there with the book. They will help you with your training. I haven't given this to anyone before, but I want you to have It." said Makarov.
"Thanks old man." said Naruto with his small smile.
They both left the room. They walked towards the entrance of the guild. All the younger members were there waiting for him. He felt a little sad and happy at the same time. Happy that he had friends enough to care for him, and sad that he will be leaving them. They had not taken any jobs this day just to see him go.
They walked up to them and smiled at everyone. He had spent a lot of time with them over the last week. Even if it's a short amount of time he felt they had been friends for a long time. He would miss all of them. He will miss there stupid antics. He already looked forward to the day he would be able to return. Spending time with them had been the best. He talked with Levy about the books he was reading and the story's he might enjoy. He had spent the most time with her. She had convinced him of giving reading another chance. He also spent time with Gray getting to know him better. He spent time with Lisanna and Elfman. He tried to make Cana stop sneaking some drinks when nobody was looking. She didn't listen to him when he said she was still underage.
He talked with Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane. They kept telling him to get strong so they can finally get even with him for knocking them out. He sweat dropped remembering there challenge to him. Looks like he had three fights to look forward to when he got back.
He remembered he got Jet and Droy to join him and Levy. He still didn't know what their problem was when they declared that they would not let him have Levy. He had laughed and told them he didn't know what they were talking about, but he did know what they were talking about. Cana had told him of their crush on Levy. Even if they were a little annoyed by him he would still miss them.
"Looks like this is good bye huh?" Asked Naruto.
"More like see you later." said Levy.
"I'll miss you all." said Naruto smiling that little smile he can't seem to keep off his face.
"But what would you do for money?" asked Natsu dramatically. "How would you eat?"
"Shut up you idiot. You'll make him worried." said Gray.
"What did you say!" yelled Natsu getting angry. Naruto laughed.
"Don't worry. I'll figure something out." said Naruto.
"Are you sure?" asked Erza.
"Yeah, I don't want you dying before I can beat you for what you did." said Mirajane remembering he knocking them out.
"I'll be fine." said Naruto.
He walked outside and they followed him. He saw the town. People were going about their day as usual. He had explored the town with his friends. The whole group had hung out together. He looked back at them. Levy stepped forward and held out something for him. It was two books. They were the two books she had recommended a couple days ago.
"Read them, and when you get back you can give me the summery about them." said Levy.
"So it's okay for me to give you a summery, but not okay for you to give me one?" asked Naruto.
"That's right." said Levy smiling.
"All right I'll tell you about them when I return. I'll even read a couple and bring them to you. So you can read them." said Naruto.
"How do I know you will be back?" asked Levy. "I didn't tell you this, but I was scared that you might die when you were hurt. Are you sure you're better?"
"Don't worry. I heal a little faster than normal people. I'm sorry to make you worried" said Naruto a little guilty knowing he had worried her and his new friends. "I'm fine. I will be back. Here you can hold on to this for me. It's important to me. I will be back for this."
He took out a green crystal necklace. He showed it to her and then put it on her. She blushed at how close he was to her. The others just stood there silent watching the small exchange between the two. Jet and Droy glared at Naruto with jealousy. 'How can be so cool.' they thought.
"I'll look after it. I promise." said Levy.
"Thanks." said Naruto.
Naruto thought back to the day he had met everyone. Makarov had given him the necklace in the medical wing before he met everyone.
Flashback
Before they walked out of the room and go meet everyone Naruto thought of something. He didn't want them to know he wasn't from this world. He didn't want them to know he had a beast inside of him.
"Wait." said Naruto. Makarov stopped and turned to him.
"What's the matter? Do you feel alright?" Makarov asked worried.
"It's not that it's just that I don't want them to know all of this that I have told you." said Naruto.
"These are good people Naruto. Nothing you say will make them avoid you." said Makarov.
"Please, it would make me feel better." said Naruto.
"You're going to lie to them." asked Makarov.
"Just a little. I'll keep it as close to the truth as possible." said Naruto.
"All right then. If you're sure?" said Makarov.
"Oh, one more thing. I want to be the one to tell them. I wouldn't want you to lie for me. I don't want you to say anything." said Naruto.
"I understand, but you know some of them are very suspicious of you. They think you are a threat. They said they wanted to interrogate you. They are very protective of this town, and the guild and everyone in It." said Makarov.
"Its fine." said Naruto. "Let's go."
Makarov was about to open the door, but then stopped. He pulled something out of his pocket. It was a green colored crystal necklace. Naruto's eyes opened in surprise. He hadn't realized that it was missing. He reached for it and Makarov gave it to him.
"Thanks where did you find this?" asked Naruto.
"It was around your neck." said Makarov. "The rest of your cloths were covered in blood. We had to get rid of them. When she came to treat you we found it on you."
"Who treated me?" asked Naruto.
"Her name is Porlyusica." said Makarov.
"I better thank her when I meet her." said Naruto.
"You best not. She likes to keep to herself." said Makarov.
"Whatever. I'll thank her anyways." said Naruto.
Naruto put the necklace in his pocket and was ready to go meet everyone. Makarov opened the door and Naruto followed him out.
Flashback End
Naruto put the two books in his pack and closed it. He looked up and was ready to leave.
"You will be back right?" asked Levy just making sure he would.
"I shall return." said Naruto.
He hugged her. Her face was very red as she blushed. After he let go he waved good bye to everyone. They all waved back and yelled there farewells. He walked away day dreaming about the day he would be done with his training. Day dreaming about the day were he would be back. Day dreaming about the day he would see all of them again. Day dreaming about the day he could be able to talk to Levy again.
There are mentions of some books in there. I want you to know that I am not making fun of those books. I really like them. I just wanted them to talk about books and I don't really know any books in Fairy Tail except for Daybreak/Dear Kaby. I also know that Haki can't wake people up. Don't worry I also hate it when writers change things without them saying anything or them not knowing. Naruto won't be doing that again. Also for those who wanted Naruto to be able to use chakra he will when the time is right, but not for a while. That is if I want him to. And all the people who wanted to know what kind of flame need to wait a little longer. Why do people want to know in advance? Where is the fun in that? Also I hope the romance part in the chapter was ok. I hope you will like it. I'm not used to writing romance yet. I made a mistake. I forgot Elfman was shy. Please continue to review. Thank you.
