"thoughts"

"Dialogue"

X780 December 17th

Erza had not taken Naruto to the guild in a few days and had been spending time with him. She had grown very close to her little Naruto, or as he put it Naru. Today she was taking him to the park and then the guild. She had no particular reason but she figured he could play with some kids his age. She also could get advice on how to take care of the little ball of energy. "Mama, where are we going today?" Said ball of energy asked.

"Well were going to the park and then the guild. At the park you can play on the swings, slide, run around and play with other children." She answered. He look at her and smiled from ear to ear. He started running around her and jumping for joy.

"Yay!" Erza could only smile at how much of an energetic individual he is.

"Come on, hold my hand. I wouldn't want to lose you." Naruto had a face of shock. He didn't want to be lost. He practically jumped up and hugged her hand as if it was his life line. Erza was surprised at his reaction."All I said is I wouldn't want to lose him, and this is how he reacts? This might not be good, the master will find someone who is a suitable parent and he will have to go... How will he react to that?"

"Naru doesn't want to be lost!" He exclaimed. Then they began walking to the park.

The park was green and filled with trees. It had a large lake in the middle, and its waters were a pristine blue. Naruto had never been here before. He literally was frozen taking in how pretty it is. Erza on the other hand was looking at his adorable face. She had the urge to touch his whiskers. She really wanted to. "Just one touch" She thought as she reached her hand out to touch them. Her fingers rubbed them gently they felt... Soft and like small indents on his face. Then something she completely did not expect happened. He purred. It was soft and barely audible but she heard it.

"Mama why were you touching my face?" He asked innocently. She didn't know what to say then it hit her!

"Well as your mother I can touch you as much as I want." She answered, clearly not realizing how wrong it sounded. Naruto looked at her before agreeing by nodding his head slowly. She then took him to the play area. He almost instantly ran for the play area. It had a five person swing set, four slides and a whole bunch of other things. But what he ran for surprised Erza. He ran straight for the orange seesaw. He then sat next to it and stared at it. He did so for at least two whole minutes. Erza was wondering why he was so mesmerized by the seesaw. Erza sat down next to him before asking "Why are you so interested in this seesaw?" He looked at her then back at the seesaw.

"Naru likes this color!" He said as he point at the seesaw. "He's only into the color!" She sweat dropped.

"Do you want to know what that color is?" He then stopped looking at the color he likes so much and stared at her. His eyes did the talking. "The color is orange. You must really like it."

"Naru really likes it! Mama can I have orange clothes?"

"Uhh, sure." She only knew one person who wore orange and let's say it looked terrible.

"Do you want to ride the seesaw now?"

"Yes, mama!"

"Well sit on that side and I will sit on the other." She instructed. He did as he was told.

"Ok, now what?" He asked as Erza got on her side.

"Now you hang on!" She exclaimed and began to make the seesaw go up on Naruto's side.

"Whee!" He then stopped in the air. He made a confused face. Why wasn't he going down. He saw Erza make a scary smile. "Mama..." He had a weak little voice. Erza then made his side go up and down really fast. "WHEEE!" He had to be the happiest boy in the world. After about them minutes of playing with him, Erza told him that she was going to go talk to other people. He was alright with that. Hey maybe he could make some friends!

"How did Naru end up here?" He thought as a 8 year old bully was punching him in the face.

"Oh, the little baby hasn't had enough yet? Well here!" The boy cocked his hand back and brought it down on Naruto's head. It hurt... A lot. Naruto didn't know what to do. This kid had come up to him, and started calling him a baby for speaking the way he did.

-flashback-

Naruto was in the middle of going down the slide, for like the twentieth time when a hand caught him. He looked at who would dare interrupt his fun. What he saw was some fat kid with a black flattop hairstyle. He wore a red plain shirt and black shorts. "Hey kid earlier I couldn't help but notice how you talk." Naruto thought he wanted to be friends, so he introduced himself.

"Naru's name is Naru! What's your name?" He asked with genuine happiness at the thought of having a new friend. Then the boy who was likely eight grappled Naruto and threw him off the slide. Naruto felt his knee scrap the floor and his head hit a rock.

"What a baby, you speak in third person! Grow up, you little baby!" He then proceeded to beating Naruto up.

-flashback-

"On yeah, that's how Naru got here." He thought as a fist connected to his stomach. He was hurting all over and he didn't like it. "What would Mama do right now? Oh yeah she would beat him up!" Naruto looked up at the boy, and stood up straight. "You may be bigger than Naru, BUT NARU DOESN'T CARE YOUR JUST A BIG BULLY! Then Naruto performed a powerful uppercut.

Erza had heard Naruto scream, causing her to run towards him. She saw him standing up to a boy twice his size, both in height and width. What she didn't expect was to see Naruto give the kid an uppercut. The bigger boy literally came off the ground by at least two feet! Then landed on the ground out cold. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't imagining that. When she realized what happened, she ran to Naruto and hugged him. " Are you alright?" She asked even though she could tell he wasn't. She saw his scrapped knee and scratches all over him.

"Mama Naru's face hurts." He said as he began to cry. Erza was about to say something when she noticed steam coming from his scrapped knee. "What on Earthland?" She thought as she watched his wound heal in front of her eyes. Erza wrapped her arms around Naruto lovingly and picked him up. She figured it was time to go to the guild. "I'm kinda proud that he knocked that boy out cold... Am I rubbing off on him?"

Naruto was taking a nap in Makorov's office and Erza was about to lose her mind. "Master do you really truly believe that that pervert is a suitable parent?" She questioned the old man. Makorov noticed that she was questioning him. She never questioned him, ever!

"Yes Erza I believe that my old friend Jiraiya is a suitable parent." He confirmed. She was a about to blow her top. "Of all the people who could take proper care of him... WHY THAT PERVERT!?" She thought.

"Master I think that..."

"You think that?" He lifted one eyebrow.

"That... I could take better care of him!" Her voice was filled with confidence.

"Erza, I had you care for him because of your maturity. You were a temporary baby sitter, because I have so much work to do I couldn't watch him properly. Jiraiya is a good man and fully capable of this task. You are to young to have the burdens of a mother." The old man had figured Erza would get slightly attached, but not to the point of not letting go.

"Master... Please." Now she was begging. This was something he thought he would never see. "Is she truly that connected to that child?"

"My final answer is no. Jiraiya will be coming by and taking Naruto off your hands tomorrow, whether you like it or not."

"Mama, what does the old man mean? Is he saying Naru has to go? Is Naru being taken away!? As Naruto spoke he was slowly going into disarray." Now Makorov's eyes widened. The boy had been awake for who knows how long, and was about to go nuts. Not only was he awake but he had been calling Erza "mama". " This is not going to be pretty. I will have to explain to the boy." Makorov walked over to the panicking child.

"Naruto my child. Erza was to watch you until I found someone to adopt and take care of you. You will still see Erza from time to time, but you won't be living with her." Makorov hoped that those words would slightly calm him down. How wrong he was.

"NARU DOESN'T WANT TO BE TAKEN FROM MAMA! NARU WANTS TO BE WITH MAMA FOREVER!" Naruto exclaimed loudly. Then he did something completely unexpected, he ran out the door and then out the guild crying. Erza was touched that he loved her that much, however the guild masters word was final. "Wait a minute... He just left the guild alone!" All the horrible things that could happen to a child went through her head. She too bursted off after him. She had to catch him before he got lost.

Naruto had kept running until his legs were numb. He had not really paid attention to where he was going, and somehow he ended up at the park. He was so tired that he sat in front of the water crying. "Why is Naru being taken away? Naru loves mama. Mama loves Naru, right? Did she ask the old man to get rid of Naru? Naru is so confused." These were his thoughts as he remembered what he had heard. All he heard was the end of their conversation. While he was thinking he didn't notice an older man with long spiky white hair, a fishnet shirt, a type of red vest with an yellow circle on each side of the vest.

Erza had gone to all the places she knew that Naruto could go. She still hadn't found him. She had even forced Gray to help. "Of course, Natsu isn't here when I need his nose!" Natsu had been off on a job when she went to get him. "Where is he? Could he be at the park? Yes! That's where he is!" Erza then took off running to the park.

"So, you really love your mama?" An older man with long white hair asked.

"Yes." This was Naruto.

"Well kid, how about while we wait for her, I can teach you some of my magic. What do you say kid?"

"Okay, Naru wants to learn! Mama says its good to learn as much as possible. But sir what's your name?" Naruto asked.

"Why I am the great toad sage! JIRAIYA!" Jiraiya exclaimed. "Now that you know my name, what's yours?"

"Naru!"

"Well Naru let's get started! I'm going to teach you an awesome spell. This spell is called energy make shadow clones! Watch this!" Jiraiya crossed his fingers and then another one of him appeared.

"That's so cool! Teach me that! Naru wants to learn that spell!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Alright this is what you do." Jiraiya spent the next ten minutes teaching Naruto how to make shadow clones. What surprised him was the boys ability to utilize magic at his age. "This kid is going to be a monster in the future. If misguided he might become another Zeref."

"NARUTO! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Erza was going nuts in the park. She was about to start breaking things obscuring her vision, mainly trees. Just before she did so she saw Naruto standing next to Naruto? Wait a second. She rubbed her eyes, to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Nope her eye sight was perfect. There were two. She walked over to them when one disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Wait... Is he using magic?" She thought. When she reach him she noticed that he wasn't alone. She saw Jiraiya instructing him. Naruto turned his head and saw her. His face lit up and ran up to her. Then he jumped up and tackled her to the ground as he hugged her.

"Naru doesn't want to leave Mama!" Jiraiya watched the reunion. "He really loves hers. What kind of monster would I be to separate them. She is the center of his world." Then he felt like something was giving him the death glare. He looked at Erza and felt like he was shrinking by the second.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SWEET INNOCENT LITTLE BOY, YOU PERVERT!?" She was pissed. Royally pissed.

"Whoa, calm down. I haven't done anything other than distract him. He has a knack for energy make Erza." He defended himself. That's all he was doing. Defending himself from her wrath. She stopped glaring daggers and started gently cuddling with Naruto. Without her armor of course.

"Ok. That's good." She was too busy with Naruto at the moment.

"Erza do love Naruto?" Jiraiya wanted to know if the love was one sided.

"Of course I love Naruto! What kind of question is that?" Her face had gone from tender to shock, and was slowly turning into anger.

"How far would you go for him? Would you die without hesitation for him?" Erza was shocked at the questions he was giving her. How was she supposed to answer. She sat there and thought for a not but she had decided that she would. In about the week she knew him, she had grown attached to him.

"Jiraiya... I would fight the world for him. I want to take care of him and I feel that I am fully capable of such a task. He is my Naruto. He is my child. Of course I would die for him." Her voice sincere, her eyes steel with resolve and her heart was in her hands.

"Ok then." He looked at her and then said "Then I leave him to you. I will teach him energy make every time I come by. Oh and don't worry about Makorov , I will convince him." With that He turned away, and left the mother and son together. Erza was confused. Did this mean she had permanent custody over Naruto?

Yes... Yes it did.
