Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail, just my two characters Jordyn and Crystal.
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I will keep writing though and please keep reading. Don't forget to leave your comments and advice. Also, the first scene might seem familiar because it is Fairy Tail episode 2, on Lucy's first day as a new member of Fairy Tail, she and Natsu must go find and rescue Macao. I hope to post the new chapter soon. Also, the new Naruto Shippuden episode is AWESOME. ;0 Too bad it's a flashback. Anyway enjoy the story.
Meanwhile in Fairy Tail...
'' Hey, you big ape! Where's Macao? Tell me!''
Natsu charged through the icy cave of Mount Hakobe, searching for the unseen Macao and his stolen comrade Lucy. Kidnapped by a giant pervy Vulcan.
Unfortunately for Natsu, his big entrance went bust when he slipped, tripped and landed on his backside; whizzing across the icy floor. The big 'ape' now noticed the distraction behind him and Lucy quietly wished Natsu would use his brain more.
''Whoa, that wasn't cool,'' Lucy whined, '' Why does he feel like he has to make an entrance all the time?''
Natsu, who had collided into a wall of ice, recovered from his trip and continued ranting at the 'ape', desperate for a confession.
''Spill it, monkey. Where is my friend?''
The vulcan turned towards Natsu with a grunt, while Lucy fled to Natsu's side for protection.
''You understand me, right? He's a human man. Now tell me where he is!'' Natsu ordered.
'' Man?'' the vulcan repeated.
'' That's right! Where are you hiding him?''
''Don't you think you might be jumping to conclusions?!'' Lucy questioned, worried at how fast Natsu was overthinking things and not doing...much thinking.
''MAN!'' the vulcan grunted excitedly while pointing his finger in a certain direction.
''Hey! I think he's gonna show me!'' Natsu exclaimed; getting his hopes up.
He ran to a hole in the mountainside and stuck his head out into the icy,cold atmosphere.
''MACAO!'' he yelled; before he was abruptly pushed out of the mountain and fell down towards the icy depths below him.
''NATSU!'' she yelled, waking with a start. Before giving another yell, when she realized how close Kakashi's face was to hers.
''Well, it looks like you're finally awake.''
Jordyn's breathing was ragged and her heart was racing slightly.
'What was that? A dream...or a nightmare?' she wondered, tilting her head to the side in consideration. But her thoughts were broken when she realized, she couldn't move her hand. Before realizing she couldn't move anything...
'Uh-oh.'
Jordyn was tied securely (and expertly) to a chair, her hands tied behind her back and her feet bonded to the front legs of the chair. She lifted her head and, to her horror, found the room crowded with the following people inside:
The masked ninja from the gate (there were six of them)
The man and woman (and the cozy scene) from the apartment
The guy with the eye (and the hair) called Kakashi
The man in the green jumpsuit (who was much more muscular up close)
The important looking old man (who she hoped was the Hokage)
And the little blonde boy (who hid behind the desk hoping he wouldn't be told to 'get out' again)
''Well I got your attention,'' she looked down at her tied down body,'' and you got mine.''
''Let's cut to the chase,'' one of the masked men spoke up, '' if you can manage to outrun all of us then that must mean that you've had some sort of training. Which leads us to believe that you're a ninja.''
''Awwww,'' she gushed, flattered that her skills as a wizard would equal that of a ninja. But she scrapped that thought quick enough, when she instantly felt a cold pair of eyes trained on her.
'Whoa. Did I just feel a glare... FROM BEHIND A MASK! Huh, if looks could kill.'
''Don't mock us!'' another of the masked men spoke, obviously quite irritated, telling by his tone of voice.
''I wasn't mocking you!'' Jordyn said, defiantly. Truth be told, meeting real ninja was a real treat, the only downside was currently being hated by them. The only way to gain their trust would be to show them the request from Minato. Now where was her bag?
"Are you looking for this?"
Jordyn looked up and found Kakashi standing there with the strap of her messenger bag between his fingers, the bag gently swaying from side to side. He had noticed her searching eyes and decided to taunt her a little for some answers.
"Actually, I was. And I think you knew that," she scowled.
Kakashi smiled smugly behind his mask a glint of evil pleasure in his eyes.
"I wonder, what's in your bag to make you want it back so badly."
Before Jordyn could answer (or at least spit back something sarcastic), Kakashi had dived his hand into her , slightly soggy, bag and was rummaging around, searching for anything of value or that could be used against her.
"What's this?"
He took out a rectangular, wooden box with spiral tree branches carved into it with golden hinges at the sides. It seemed to hold something in it...
Considering the fact, that the lid was sealed shut.
"I wonder, what's in here for you to seal it away so tightly?"
"I wonder that too!" Jordyn grinned mockingly, her voice heavy with sarcasm.
"Only one way to find out."
"Go ahead," she answered, her cool manner irritating Kakashi. Why wasn't she even a little bit bothered, you may ask? Well, it's simple. This was going a whole lot better than she thought. For you see, Jordyn had the common sense to keep Minato's request sealed safely away inside the box. Sealed away by her magic, so therefore only she could open it. The only way for her to open it would be for them to untie her ; so once everything was out in the open and the confusion was all cleared up, she would be able to steer this mission back on track.
Simple.
'I just hope this moron doesn't break it,' she thought dismally, as she watched him claw and scratch and pull at the lid. Truth be told, Kakashi even thought about using Chidori to bust the darn thing open. In the end, he decided that the reasonable thing to do was to bring out... that thing. Oh yes, there was no other option except to use 'that'.
So he pulled his forehead protector up over his left eye to reveal his big weapon. The sharingan. With this, he could detect any signs of hidden scriptures or traps made of chakra. But to his dismay, (and waste of chakra), he found it was a perfectly ordinary wooden box. That still didn't change the fact that there was something inside there, under lock and key, that he just had to see. Well, it was a good thing it was wooden. He had just the man for the job.
''Tenzo,'' he called, throwing the box towards the masked man standing beside him.
''I told you not to call me that,'' he grumbled, but accepted the box anyway and examined it in his hands.''Looks like an ordinary wooden oak box, but it shouldn't be too hard to open. I'll just use my jutsu.''
'Jutsu? What's that?' Jordyn thought, but didn't worry too much about it. Her magic was hers alone and can't be recognized by anyone else, but her. So she watched, with slight amusement, as the man placed his hand a few inches away from the box, and a small wooden branch started to sprout from the palm of his hand. Moving in a slow curling movement.
'It looks like he's using Wood-make. Just like Laki,' Jordyn thought, referring to the eccentric Wood-make user with purple hair. The branch moved closer and closer towards the box, before it suddenly bolted to the left, missing the box altogether.
''What the...?'' He definitely wasn't expecting that. He tried again, this time the branch moving faster. But this time, the branch took a different route and arched over the box. His attention was immediately directed to Jordyn, who sat there fighting her smirk and putting on her innocent face.
''I didn't do anything,'' she admitted, and that was true enough. ''But the only one who can open it - is me.''
Everyone in the room looked around at each other, wondering whether to trust her or not. Jordyn knew they would have doubts. After all, she did just run through their village searching for their leader. So, the only way to fix this was to make a proposal.
''How 'bout this? If I try anything funny or the box doesn't open...''
''And if the box doesn't open?'' Kakashi questioned.
Jordyn looked Kakashi dead in the face, her expression serious.
''You can kill me.''
