I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail.
Naruto and Kyôka were currently in a china shop and Kyôka was asking questions while Naruto looked at all the vases, bowls, and cups.
"And nothing struck you as odd about the crime?" she asked the cashier.
"Nope," said the cashier, "That demon did it. End of discussion."
"But isn't it strange that everything was cleaned up before we got there?" she asked, "You would think they would… Naruto, don't touch that!"
Naruto quickly drew his hand back from a rather expensive looking bowl and whistled innocently.
"I wish I could help you but everything points to that demon," said the cashier as she went in back.
"Now what?" asked Kyôka with a loud sigh.
What sounded like the entire shop shattering hit Kyôka's ears and the cashier ran out of the back. They both looked at Naruto, who was whistling innocently as a multitude of shatter glass littered the floor around him.
"This is really going to take away from our guild funds," said Kyôka depressingly.
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 gave an evil smirk.

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.

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 cathedral in Magnolia and frowned. Zeref walked through the ruins of his old home and calmly passed the bodies that littered the ground.

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.

"I said I was sorry!" whined Naruto as he and Kyôka headed back to Neville's house.
"You wiped out the entire guild's funds we gained for the past month," said Kyôka as she held Naruto's keys tightly in her hand, "You're not getting these back for two weeks."
"But they're my friends!" whined Naruto as he tried to grab the keys out of Kyôka's hand.
"I don't care," said Kyôka in annoyance, "You need to learn to listen to what the adults tell you."
Naruto began crying and Kyôka turned red under her mask from embarrassment as everyone stared at them. Naruto started holding onto her leg and she dragged him inside Neville's house. Neville chuckled nervously as they entered and Kyôka began shaking her leg frantically.
"Get the hell off of me!" shouted Kyôka angrily as Naruto held onto her tighter.
"Give me back my friends!" shouted Naruto as he continued to cry.
"Just give him one," suggested Neville, "That should get him off your back for a while."
Kyôka sighed and pulled a gold key off the ring of metal and tossed it out the window. Naruto jumped out after it and Kyôka sighed in relief.
"That should keep him occupied for a while," she said as she sat down then looked at Neville, "Did Seilah make it out safely?"
"Virgo and I made sure of it," said Neville.
"At least she'll be safe for now," said Kyôka as she slumped down into a chair, "We tried the crime scene but all Naruto could find was the scent of fish."
Neville sat down the tray of tea in his hands and frowned.
"What?" questioned Kyôka.
"There is a group in the church," said Neville and he sat down across from Kyôka, "Not many know about it. I only found out from one of the forms I was given by one of the clerks."
"What is this group called?" questioned Kyôka.
"I don't know their name," said Neville as he looked out the window next to his chair, "But they're meeting tonight. At the cathedral. You'll need this to get in."
He sat a ring down Kyôka took it in her talons. She examined it and saw that there was a depiction of a serpent eating its own tail around the edge.
"You'll also need a disguise," said Neville as Kyôka put the ring on.
(That Night)
Kyôka, in the robes of a nun and without her mask, walked up to the cathedral but was stopped by a guard.
"Private meeting," he said.
"I have an invitation," she said as she showed him the ring.
The guard stepped aside and Kyôka calmly and silently walked inside. She entered a large conference room with two floors. The bottom had a long table with a large set of double doors leading to another room. Sitting at the table were twenty people while almost a hundred stood on the second floor to watch the meeting with Kyôka being one of them. After several minutes, the large doors opened and everyone at the table stood up as a man about her height with long hair walked through the doors with his shadow shielding his face as the light on the other side of the door shone brightly. He took the seat at the head of the table while the doors remained open.
"Please, sit and let's get this meeting started," said the man.
Everyone at the table took a seat and one of the priests took up a piece of paper.
"The church currently has several hundred guilds united to take up the cause," stated the priest, "We shall be prepared for the Dragon King Festival when it's at its peak."
"Dragon King Festival?" thought Kyôka curiously as she continued to stare at the man.
A nun spoke in a language Kyôka didn't understand and the man at the head of the table put his feet up.
"Very well," said the man, "Now, Father Williams, about your recent vacancy…"
"Sir?" questioned the man sitting at the opposite end of the table.
He never got to hear an answer as his head was encased by a strange black water in the same instant a sword severed his head from his body. The water then crushed the severed head and Kyôka raised an eyebrow at the sight of the two large beings that were now behind the chair of the dead priest. One looked particularly shark-like while the other was extremely tall and had four arms.
"I trust you and Torafuzar dealt with that little problem of ours, Ezel?" questioned the man at the head of the table as he put his feet back down.
"That stupid kid won't both us anymore," said the four-armed man.
"Naruto!" thought Kyôka urgently.
"How long has it been since we last saw each other?" pondered the man at the head of the table, "It must've been years since you and the others lost your memories. But it was necessary in order to further our plans."
He turned his head and Kyôka's eyes went wide as she recognized the man's face.
"It's been a long time, Kyôka," said Mard Geer with a sly smile.
Kyôka made to move when the guard from the entrance stopped her.
"Your invitation seems to have been revoked," said the guard in monotone.
Kyôka slashed his face with her talons then ran out. She ran as blasts of magic shot over her head and she jumped through a window and onto a conveniently placed horse. She raced away from the cathedral and took several deep breaths as she headed out of town. She heard the sound of wind and splashing water behind her and looked over her shoulder to find Ezel and Torafuzar chasing her while using their powers. Torafuzar pulled ahead and knocked Kyôka off her horse by slicing it in two with his claws. Kyôka rolled down a hill and grunted when she stopped.
"Heh, looks like it's time to die, Kyôka," said Ezel with a maniacal grin on his face.
"Come back, bunny!" called out Naruto as he came towards them while chasing a rabbit.
He managed to grab it when he was right between them.
"Look, Kyôka!" exclaimed Naruto as he turned to her to show her the struggling rabbit, "Can I keep him? I promise that I'll take care of him."
Kyôka quickly used her powers and tackled Naruto away from one of Ezel's swords. The rabbit flew out of Naruto's arms and hopped off into the forest.
"Damn it!" shouted Torafuzar as he glared at Naruto and Kyôka, "How did you survive?!"
"Oh, are you playing tag with your friends, Kyôka?" questioned Naruto happily as he got up, "I wanna play too!"
"Naruto, we're not playing!" shouted Kyôka, "They're trying to kill us!"
"I'll be it!" declared Naruto, as if he hadn't heard Kyôka.
He darted up to Torafuzar and his foot glowed sky blue as he kicked him into Ezel and sent them both flying back through several boulders.
"You're it!" said Naruto in joy as Ezel and Torafuzar got to their feet.
"You little brat!" shouted Ezel as he began slashing at Naruto.
Naruto laughed happily as he dodged Ezel's blades effortlessly while Kyôka was watching in utter bewilderment.
"What the hell is going on here?" she thought as she watched Naruto exhaust Ezel and Torafuzar, "How can he be so serious when fighting dragons but act like a total child when it comes to everything else?!"
She felt a sudden pain in her abdomen and grunted. Naruto heard this and hurried over to her side.
"Are you okay?" he asked her as Torafuzar and Ezel jumped on them.
Naruto looked back at them with a look of absolute rage and let out a Dragon Slayer Roar. A sky blue beam hit them and sent them flying away. He began to heal Kyôka, who just stared at him.
"What?" he asked when he noticed this.
"How can you be so serious one minute and a total child the next?" she asked.
"Uh… what?" he asked again,
"Why do you take dragons seriously but nothing else?" reiterated Kyôka.
"Dragons are powerful creatures and deserve respect while everything else is just fodder for them," explained Naruto, "And I never had a proper childhood what with being raised on that island. I have freedom for the first time in my life and I want to just express myself and share all these moments with my family."
A steady clapping reached their ears and they both looked in the direction Torafuzar and Ezel had flown off in.
"Very touching," said the man from the meeting as he stopped several feet from them, "However, I'm afraid that it must come to an end."
Naruto cautiously stood up as he turned to the man while his sword appeared in his hand.
"What's your name, child?" questioned the man.
"Naruto Dragion Shadowgale, leader of Tartaros," said Naruto as his sword morphed into double swords of red and blue.
"How interesting," said the man with a sly smile, "Your guild has my name. Mard Geer Tartaros."
Mard's form became engulfed in a thick steam but Naruto could clearly make out the outline of something inside. Mard's form had grown larger while also gaining wings. The smoke dissipated and Naruto glared at Mard's new form.
"Well, do I frighten you?" questioned Mard.
Naruto took a step forward but Kyôka grabbed his ankle to stop him.
"Naruto, get out of here," she advised, "He's too strong for you. Motherglare is nothing compared to him."
Naruto shook his ankle free of Kyôka's grip and darted forward. He swung the swords and Mard effortlessly caught them both.
"Interesting," said Mard as he examined the swords, "Dual swords with the power of fire and ice. And made from dragon blood. However, it is still pitiful."
He brought his knee up and Naruto let go of his swords as his breath instantly left his body. Two thorns impaled his chest and his eyes went wide as blood poured down them.
"NARUTO!" shouted Kyôka as Mard tossed Naruto over a cliff and into the darkness below.
Torafuzar and Ezel came back up to the scene as Kyôka scrambled over to the cliff and looked down into the darkness. Ezel and Torafuzar came back as Mard returned to his human form and headed back to the city.
"I leave her to you both," said Mard as he left.
Torafuzar and Ezel towered over Kyôka and she looked back just as Torafuzar brushed her aside. She skidded to a halt next to Naruto's swords and got to one knee.
"You're just as pathetic as you were two years ago," said Ezel with a grin, "And now, we get to kill you!"
He brought his swords down but Kyôka blocked them with Naruto's swords, which felt a little heavy. She used her magic on herself and knocked Ezel back before roaring in rage as her form changed then charged at the two.
Meant to upload this on Christmas but I've been busy playing my new Xbox One. Sorry for the delay.
