To be simple I'm going to put a generic disclaimer here: If I owned Naruto, Bleach, or anything that earned me money, I would try to introduce too many unique ideas and have that position taken away from me, so the only thing I own is the plot and a few OC's

Hello there, the edited version of ch11 is here, I wanted to wait until I wrote ch13 but that wouldn't be for a while, so here! (explanation of change at the bottom)

Ch11: First Blow

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLOT EDITS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THIS CHAPTER!(1/14/12)

Ow.

Pain was throbbing through Naruto, who at this point was suffering from Chakra exhaustion: something that he would never have thought to have suffered from, and since the Kyuubi was chakra he couldn't really help in this department.

It was embarrassing. He was lying out on a stretcher, being carried around like he was from a hospital or something.

And the worst part of it was he couldn't really tell if Happy was secretly chewing his jacket off or not,

After being 'paraded' through Magnolia with not much conversation between the seven, Natsu seemed to remember something-

"Erza, you still have to fight me!"

Everyone sweat dropped at his proclamation. Well, except Erza- who never did such a thing,

"Then when we get back I will fight you," she replied, "But we should probably take Naruto back to his house before stopping off at the guild-"

Oh yes, thank god!

"Where does Naruto live anyway?"

"Actually… Um," Naruto trailed on, "I don't really have a place to stay; I haven't been in Magnolia for more than a day,"

"Well then," Lucy started, "Where do you think he could stay?"

All eyes on her, except Mirajane, who had a different idea, "It may be kind of lonely, but we do have an infirmary in the guild: you are injured after all,"

"Sound good?"

"Sure…" Naruto replied, not like he really cared where he slept or anything, he just didn't want to be paraded through the guild like he was: no chakra for a quick Henge (Transformation Technique) to disguise himself or anything,

'Phew,' Lucy sighed in relief, 'I am not a boarding house. Sure he could stay, but then who would try to live their next? Natsu's would just start living in my house,'

Lucy shivered,

"Are you cold?"

"No Grey, just thought of something cold is all,"

0-0-0

From a rooftop not far from where this conversation was taking place, a man watched the procession with a long telescope, putting it away as he jumped to the next, getting closer,

'So you're alive,' the man thought as he began to watch the group again, 'He was right, and soon I will-'

"AAAH!"

0-0-0

"Hm?"

Everyone turned to look where the scream came from to see a man fall from a roof- landing with a thud in the middle of an alley they had passed a while ago,

"Weird," Lucy was the first to move on, "Probably some pervert that took a wrong step-"

"ACHOO!"

"Lucy is physic!"

"Um… you mean psychic Happy?"

"Yeah, that!" Happy smiled as he sat on the stretcher and looked back at the man who had fallen, "Hey, he's getting up!"

"Ok Happy," Mirajane said, "We don't need to be eavesdropping on other people-"

"But look! He has a telescope and he's looking at us!" Happy pointed, drawing the other's attention to the man who noticed, disappearing into the alley,

"I think I will have a word with this one,"

Everyone shivered as Erza calmly walked over to where the man with the telescope had gone, reached out into the alley and dragged him out.

"Now I believe sir," Erza said as she held the man up in front of the others, "That you owe us an apology,"

"I-I'm sorry!"

"And what are you sorry for?"

"Spying-on-you-for-a-book-since-I-wanted-to-know-your-reaction-when-you-learned-that-Phantom-Lord-trashed-your-guild."

"…"

"What?" Natsu spoke up as everyone else became quiet, "The guild is trashed? By Phantom Lord?"

"A-ha!" The man pulled a notepad out of nowhere and began to scribble down notes, "Excellent! Keep going; just pretend I'm not here,"

"You aren't," Erza dropped the man and everyone dashed towards the guild-

Forgetting about Naruto?

"OW!" Naruto yelled as he was dropped, seeing everyone disappear from sight, "Hey! Come back here!"

"You, blonde,"

Naruto looked up to see the man they had been talking to- he had been unable to see him from his position since he was in the stretcher, but now he could see him easier.

Spiky white hair that came down in a ponytail at the back of his head, red lines down his cheeks, a metal band around his head that had the kanji for 'oil' on it, and he wore a red vest overtop a dull-green outfit,

"Did you need something?" Naruto asked,

"Well since you're not really in a hurry yes, I do," the man replied sarcastically, "My name is Jiraiya,"

0-0-0

"Master what the hell happened?" Natsu said as he came in- the entire first floor upward had been smashed into almost nothing by metal rods, signifying that it was done by Gajeel; second best of Phantom Lord.

"Oi Natsu!" Makarov replied, "I think you have some explaining to do to me, all of you!"

"Why the hell aren't we taking out Phantom Lord?"

"Natsu, I told you already, you have some explaining to do to me!"

"That green-haired lady already said Phantom Lord was at war with us!" Natsu shouted, causing the room to go silent,

"Green hair you say," Makarov sat in thought, "Fu? Juggernaut Fu?"

"She met us on Galuna Island," Grey joined in, "I don't know all the details, but she was being a bitch the whole time, and…"

"…" the six mages sat in silence as Makarov interpreted their facial expressions, "She did not."

"… What!" Natsu replied hotly, "I was their! I saw it-"

"No, she did not," Makarov said, using his Jiyaianto (Titan) magic to enlarge his fist to smash the wall behind him, "Natsu. I don't care if she said they are at war with us or not, if I am to believe she did that there would be nothing, nothing, from declaring war and bringing the whole town with them in one final Yōsei no Hōritsu (Fairy Law),"

Mirajane walked off, a tear on her cheek,

"If any of you tell me anything related to that woman I will ignore you from now on; the guild is at stake," Makarov looked down at his clenched fists and sighed, taking several deep breaths to calm himself, letting the guild go back to status quo (for being confined to the basement), "Make sure you find another guild member to stay with, just in case Phantom Lord is still somewhere lurking for another attack,"

"Oh, speaking about that," Lucy said, "We were wondering if Naruto could stay in the infirmary for a few days, since he doesn't have a house and all,"

"Naruto went with you!" Makarov's eyes bulged 'Erza, Mirajane, Natsu, Grey, Happy, Lucy, and Naruto? In one team? Oh Kami help us all…'

"Yeah, he's right-" Lucy gestured to a spot of nothingness,

Everyone blinked.

"OH MY GOSH WE DROPPED NARUTO!"

0-0-0

"Jiraiya of the Sannin huh," Naruto scoffed, "Like you even know who that is,"

"I am too," the man persisted, having lifted Naruto to the rooftops to talk more privately, "I know you were trained by Gildarts."

"…" Naruto sighed, "Don't talk to anyone about that then, they'll freak- especially Natsu because he will try to kill me."

"Do you believe me then?"

"No, you were spying on us, how do I know you haven't been spying on us before?" Naruto replied, cautious of the man that claimed to be from his home- so far away, "But tell me about Konoha- what's happened?"

"That's one of the reasons I'm out here," Jiraiya paused, "We were attacked."

"So?"

"So," Jiraiya clenched his fists, "The Third is dead."

"…" Naruto paused, suddenly reaching out and punching the man claiming to be one of the Sannin in the face before responding angrily, "How the heck did this happen? Who did it?"

"Orochimaru, one of my fellow Sannin, left the village long before you were born, and created his own village," Jiraiya rubbed his sore cheek as he explained, "Naruto, the village is in ruins."

"How…" Naruto looked down at his hands, "How could this have happened? I haven't finished everything yet-"

"Everything?" Jiraiya looked at Naruto, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"Everything in the scroll that Jiji gave me before I left," Naruto replied, still upset about the news, "He said I couldn't come back until I learned everything."

"Do you have this scroll?"

Naruto pulled out a normal looking scroll from his jacket, tossing it to Jiraiya, who opened it- widening his eyes,

"This… Is amazing!" Jiraiya continued to unravel the scroll, noting the insane amount of storage seals inscribed on the scroll, "But does not seem so hard to learn, how much have you learned?"

"I have learned about," Naruto took the scroll and observed it, looking for the place he left off with Gildarts before arriving in Fiore, "About… here."

"A third of this?" Jiraiya asked, "But still, that is amazing. What did you learn so far?"

Naruto began to count out on his fingers, "A handful of low-powered jutsu, several styles of weak taijutsu and a strong one, some battle tactics; like the 1/10,000th chance of using the opponent as the target in Kawarimi (Substitution Technique)-"

"You know about that?" Jiraiya interupted him, amazed, "Not many Jounin are told about that, but you haven't experienced it right?"

"Once."

"Really?"

"Just the other night," Naruto winced, "Took a million times more chakra than a regular Kawarimi (Substitution Technique),"

"I haven't experienced one before- maybe that's why," Jiraiya returned to the main topic at hand, "Anything else?"

"Rasengan-"

"What?" Jiraiya paused him again, "Jiji couldn't have given you instruction on how to use Rasengan- he didn't know it!"

"I do though," Naruto said, "Along with Kage Bunshin-"

"Never mind," Jiraiya said, "What other broad categories have you studied?"

"Elemental affinities and Summoning," Naruto said, "But only by reading, since I don't have the paper or a summoning scroll,"

"You know a lot for your age," Jiraiya smiled 'He's just like you Minato, if not better. You would be proud.'

"So what do you want again?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man again, "You said you were here for a reason,"

"I'm here for two reasons," Jiraiya held two fingers up, "The first is to find beautiful sexy ladies, convince them to fall madly in love with me while enjoying special benefits,"

0-0-0

'And to train me.' Naruto thought as he returned to the guild with Natsu, Grey and Lucy, who had come back for him while Erza explained the mission details (Mirajane was preparing the infirmary apparently), who had come to pick him up moments after Jiraiya had finished his point and left, 'He said he would be doing 'research' since I wasn't in good shape, but I don't trust him. Something stinks about this whole thing,'

"Lu-chan!"

"Levy?" Lucy paused as a shorter girl with blue hair in an orange dress came up to them, and with her were two guys. One had orange hair and a brown-white hat that looked like a rip off of Dr. Seuss, the other wore a white t-shirt and green pants with two yellow straps going diagonally across his torso with tanner skin and black hair that came up to in an odd peak- a single strand, like an angler fish,

"What happened?" Levy ran over and looked down at Naruto, who was lying on the stretcher.

Again.

And the worst part was that this would just keep repeating ALL DAY, until he got to the infirmary and could be left alone,

"Chakra exhaustion," Naruto replied, confusing the girl, "You probably don't know what that is-"

"Chakra Exhaustion?" Levy's eyes widened, "You… you use Chakra?"

Naruto's eyes bulged, "What?"

"Someone uses Chakra on this side of the mountains? Really?" Levy's eyes began to shine, "Who are you anyway?"

"N-Naruto," Naruto replied, "But how do you know about-"

"Hey everyone!"

Mirajane's voice came loud and clear, gaining the attention of Natsu and Grey, who were standing doing nothing but holding the stretcher,

"Natsu, you had better hurry!" Mirajane said, "Erza is waiting for you, you're going to fight her right-"

"FIGHT ME ERZA!"

"Natsu you idio-OW~!" Naruto called out as he was dropped again, this time only on one end, hitting his head on the concrete hard, "I will get him for that,"'

"Are you ok?"

Naruto rubbed his head as he saw Levy kneeling down next to him, "Hey Jet, Droy, can you take over here?"

"Anything for you Levy-chan!"

Naruto looked up and the two guys that were with her picked up the stretcher, allowing Grey and Lucy to go off and watch the fight, and continued towards the nearby guild,

"We'll probably have to use the back door," Levy said as they walked, "The front will be crowded with people trying to watch the fight,"

"Sure thing!"

Naruto wondered about what was going on, first the guy claiming to be Jiraiya, and now this girl that knew about Chakra?

What in the world is happening here?

0-0-0

'Heh,' A man sneered as he saw a fight break out below in front of the guild he had just destroyed the other day, 'Stupid fairies getting frustrated over my little trick?'

He grinned, 'Then they'll just love what's going to happen tonight.'

He began to watch as the fight began to move up a few stages- Erza the Titania versus Natsu the Salamander.

Hopefully they could give him a good show before the rest of his guild wiped the floor with them.

0-0-0

"ERZA! ERZA!"

"NATSU! NATSU!"

The crowd cheered as the fight intensified: Natsu's attacks were weakened against the Flame Empress Armor Erza had donned not a second after the fight had begun, but he could compensate with more power behind his attacks,

"Karyuu no Teken! (Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!)"

"Too slow Natsu!"

Natsu's punch was dodged so easily by the sword wielder that she decided to show off, flipping over him and landing gracefully- going through the effort to place her foot behind herself to trip up Natsu,

Who fell to the floor hard.

Face-first,

"You still have a lot to learn, Natsu," Erza commented as Natsu jumped to his feet, angry about the embarrassing tactic Erza had used,

"I'm not as weak as I used to be!" Natsu shouted, "I'll show you!"

Natsu ignited both of his hands with the light of his signature move, bringing them together-

"Karyuu no-"

"NATSU! ERZA!"

Both competitors paused, seeing Makarov exit the building, "I understand you promised to fight him Erza, but now is not the time. Save your strength in case if Phantom Lord-"

Makarov suddenly stopped, looking at the building in front of them cautiously,

"Something wrong Master?" Mirajane asked as she walked up,

"No, I was seeing things," Makarov replied, "As for you, go home and rest up. Yesterday you fought a Dark Guild and defeated a demon. I know you may feel invincible, but that is when you will fall the hardest,"

The guild master walked back into the guild and the crowd dispersed, disappointing the two onlookers from the rooftop,

"Who taught you to use Chakra?"

Levy was a very intelligent person. She had only proven it a hundred times.

"I told you I was taught in school!" Naruto replied, "The academy is where we learn how to use chakra,"

"But you seem so calm about having Chakra exhaustion," Levy replied, she had sent Jet and Droy elsewhere after arriving in the infirmary, "It can kill people and yet you pass it off as nothing?"

"I have a lot of chakra, more than you have Magical power, or any other person in this guild," Naruto replied, "Except maybe Makarov- he is a Wizard Saint,"

"I want to know."

"Huh?" Naruto looked at her oddly, "You want to know what?"

"Charka. How to use it," Levy replied, "I've read about it in some very old manuscripts about contact with the countries east of the mountains, but they always say it works like our own Magic. That is just not the case."

"I know someone who might be able to explain the similarities-"

"Where is he?"

"I have no idea."

"What?" Levy was puzzled, "Why?"

"He is never home."

"Who is he?"

"That is something I can't really tell you," Naruto said, only for her to stare at him pleadingly, "No seriously, I can't. He would kill me."

'Someone dangerous, someone powerful,' Levy thought, 'He obviously knows where he lives since he can tell he's on a mission, and he must be a Mage if he does take these missions,'

"Where does he live?"

"I actually don't know," Naruto replied truthfully, "He never really told me, but he does have a house somewhere, he prefers the road though,"

'Prefers the road?' Levy shrugged off the ideas, "Never mind, but can you show me?"

"Not while I have Chakra exhaustion," Naruto replied, "But really, you can't tell anyone I use Chakra,"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm... well…" Naruto scratched his head, "I guess I'm in hiding, not the best description but I'm supposedly dead."

"And so if you use chakra you could be traced," Levy concluded, "But does this mean the Elemental Nations are after you?"

"I would… rather not talk about it," Naruto said- footsteps suddenly rang through his ears and he continued hastily, "To explain it I have called it Te no Mahō (Hands Magic) ok? If someone asks you got it mixed up with something from a book you read or something,"

Levy nodded as Mirajane walked in,

"Oh, so you've met Levy then," Mirajane smiled, coming over and placing a bell over by his bed, "If you need something just holler,"

"Thanks Mira," Naruto said as she, along with Levy, left.

'Everything is just so complicated,' Naruto thought as he began to fall asleep- his need for it finally catching up, 'I just need… some sleep…'

0-0-0

"I just need some sleep…"

Lucy sighed, it had been a long day. She had stayed at the guild and talked to Levy for a while and tried to leave early, but the guild ruckus prevented her from doing so, and so she was forced to wait until they stopped. Then she managed to leave.

Very long day.

Lucy reached down and pulled out her keys, looking through and picking out her house key without any trouble and opening her front door, walking in, and yawning,

She stretched and walked through her living room, tossing her keys on her bed- expertly avoiding Natsu and Happy as they did their push-up routine, and walking towards her dresser to get a fresh towel for after she bathed, stepping over Grey, who was lying on the floor with a bump on his head- most likely from Natsu sucker-punching him.

She looked and grabbed the towel, walking over to her bathroom and walked in- dodging Erza, who almost bumped into her,

Wait.

Did they all just-

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING IN MY HOUSE?"

0-0-0

"It's really cold out here,"

"Hey, would you like my jacket?"

"Or mine?"

"No thanks," Levy turned to two offers down, it was almost always like this- if she needed something her two teammates fought over it like bulldogs. She knew they liked her, but she didn't really share those feelings. And the fact that they didn't seem to notice, account for, or acknowledge that she didn't feel the same was hurtful to her in a way.

Master had said they should buddy-up with fellow mages for the night, who else did she expect? Naruto?

Well, then again, it wouldn't have been that bad.

She thought back to what had happened earlier; he seemed nice, but he was holding something back- something dark and mysterious,

"Because I'm... well…" Naruto scratched his head, "I guess I'm in hiding, not the best description but I'm supposedly dead."

'I'm going to find out about that soon,' Levy shivered, thankfully neither of her teammates noticed, and looked p into the night sky-

Beautiful. Like something out of a love novel- a romantic night with two lovers,

Levy sighed, if only she had someone to love-

"GAH!"

Levy turned to see a long, metal pole smashing Jet down into the concrete- shocking both her and Droy,

Droy moved to act but was smashed away with a roundhouse kick that sent him to the ground as well,

Levy, the only one left conscious, stood shocked as the man approached her,

"Good night miss," the man grinned, "You can call me Gajeel,"

"What the heck do you want?"

Naruto stood in the sewer again. He felt like he was doing this a lot now.

Too often.

"I think I would like to try negotiating some things out with you," the fox said, "I know some things you would like to know, and you can do some things I would like to do."

"It's not like you've been very unsociable these past few years," Naruto replied, "But right now, I don't trust you. And I have no idea what you want anyway."

"Freedom"

"You know I will never give you that," Naruto replied, tapping his foot, "Now look, I was having an amazing dream about eating at Ichiraku again, so you better make this quick."

"No, you misunderstand," The fox grinned, "This time I have leverage over you. So you should listen to me."

"What leverage do you have over me?" Naruto gave him a blank stare, "Because in all honesty, those bars don't really give you enough room to come and try killing me."

"It is not you that you should be worried about," The fox's grin grew larger; "Your friends are in danger."

"Like you would know," Naruto waved the notion off, "You're in here. How could you know what's going on out there?"

"Being a master of Killer intent, and knowing how to use your weak human senses better than you do, gives me some advantages," The fox was not grinning friendly anymore- he looked sadistic "Unless you strike a deal with me, one of your friends might die."

"Again, I don't trust you," Naruto said, "Show me-"

"I was waiting for you to ask,"

Naruto was suddenly filled with senses he had never known before- he could smell the world outside of the sewer, feel the warmth of his bed,

Sense the killer intent coming from somewhere?

"Now that you believe me," The Kyuubi turned off his insane senses, bringing him back to the sewer, "We start bargaining,"

"Over my friend's lives?" Naruto clenched his fists, "No. I can leave here whenever I want to!"

"If you want to die of Chakra exhaustion I suggest you stay here," The Kyuubi grinned, "I can cut off my support to your vitals you know, I can put you in Acoma right now because you have no chakra to fight mine off with."

"Then do it! Kill me!" Naruto yelled as he began to disappear, "I dare you, because we both know you will die too!"

"You don't understand then," The Kyuubi roared, "I would much rather escape your body than sit here with you and be treated like some house pet!"

0-0-0

Naruto sat up with a start, sweat pouring down his face-

Killer intent; faint, but he could sense it,

He had to tell them!

How?

Naruto looked to his side and saw the bell Mirajane had left,

'Let's hope this works-'

Naruto grabbed the bell and rang it for his life- to his relief he heard footsteps coming,

"*Yawn,* What is it Naruto?" Mirajane asked as she walked into the room in her night gown, "You need something?"

"Someone is in danger-GAH!"

Naruto keeled over in the bed and dropped the bell, which made a large clank as it hit the ground,

"Naruto?" Mirajane ran over and looked at him, "Who's in danger? What's going on?"

"I'll be… Ok," Naruto grunted, obviously in severe pain, "South… Killer intent-"

"Naruto!" Mirajane shouted as Naruto fell face down, out cold, "MASTER!"

"Heh, this was too easy," Gajeel looked up at his work as he saw the three members of Fairy Tail strung about on the tree, Phantom Lord symbols engraved in their skin, 'They're going to have to do something about this, if they don't then they'd be fools.'

He took one last stare at the tree- that midget girl was kind of cute now that he thought about it,

Shrugging he smiled, smirked, and turned around, ready to leave-

Ending up eating a spicy knuckle sandwich,

"KARYUU NO TEKEN! (Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!)"

Gajeel's jaw swung back as his head was forced back hard, causing him to stumble as the blow came to his senses-

"AISU RANSU! (Ice Make: Lance!)"

It looked like he wouldn't get any time to react at this point-

Gajeel used his arms to change the course of the extending Ice blade, forcing it to miss as he jumped on it and forward- preparing to kick him-

WHAM~!

Gajeel was suddenly forced back hard, forcing him to lose the breath he had taken as he flew. When he recovered seconds later he looked up and saw the source of the kick,

"Gajeel Redfox," The red haired mage said, "You will die here,"

"AISU GAIZA! (Ice Make: Geyser!)"

Gajeel managed to jump up as the geyser appeared under him- now seeing all of his opponents at once he knew he was outclassed,

'I'll pay you back for that,' Gajeel looked at the red-haired mage with anger, 'Titania,'

Gajeel pulled his arm back as he began to fall back, the geyser coming near,

"Tetsuryū Gen'nō! (Sledgehammer of the Iron Dragon!)"

His arm extended into a grey rod and formed the mighty sledgehammer- crashing into the ice and releasing it into the air,

"Dawgone it!" Grey cursed as the shards of ice dissipated into a light mist, covering his escape, "All my fault…"

"It's not your fault Grey," Erza strode up to him and held his shoulder, "Now go. Gather the rest of the guild and take roll of who is willing to go."

Grey grinned, "So gramps is willing to fight back now?"

Erza nodded, "If this isn't a declaration of war, what is?"

Grey ran off into the town to go get the rest of the guild, the single thought on their minds was the same thing

'Phantom Lord will pay'

"Ah, Fu," Jose smiled as the mint-haired mage walked into his office, "Successful mission I presume-"

"No."

Silence.

"You…" Jose seemed upset and confused, "What happened?"

"Fairy Tail's famous interference," her grit teeth tried to interfere with her voice, "They 'unoficially' took the mission, then completed it and took off. They gave them some sort of consolation for their efforts too. I got nothing."

"Calm down Fu," Jose said, "It's nothing to get so worried about,"

"They always interfere!" she yelled, "They took my one chance to repay that… demon… right in front of my eyes! I'll kill those b_!"

Fu's expression darkened as she stood there, and when Jose got up and walked over to her, she paid no mind,

CLAP!

"That's more like it," Jose grinned, his arm around her shoulder, "Because Gajeel pulled the chain just right while you were gone,"

Fu's eyes widened in shock, then narrowed,

"Then in the morning, we dine on fresh fairy.

Cut!

Why did I re-write ch11 & 12 (for those of you who read the originals)? Very simple- they sucked.

This was something I started to realize on my own, but it took one of my viewers bring it fully to my attention. It kind of passed by me because I liked where I was going, but I came to a quick, simple realization of a big problem; I didn't have an explanation for introducing Tsunade and Orochimaru here, let alone having Orochimaru take sides with Phatnom Lord. That was a n00b author moment for me and I will try to be more careful about those again. Thank you Lednacek for pointing this out to me before it got out of hand. If I go off on a tangent like that please tell me so I can fix it.

I liked my idea, but it wasn't working out. I realized about half way into (starting) ch13 that there would be too many 'boss' fights- WAY too many. If the Narutoverse could so easily cross over into Fiore, than why wouldn't chakra be more common? I intentionally made it very rare and unheard of, so that couldn't work out. Just a minor setback guys, nothing too big.

Note that I also posted this in the next chapter so… just skip it.

I would have waited to put up the re-written version until I wrote ch13 but midterms had other plans :( I feel like I just wrote two chapters so… yeah.

Couple of important notes to this chapter;

-Naruto has to have some sort of limitations; hence the chakra exhaustion. I can tell I lost a few people when I did that, but he is not god. He has learned from a scroll on his own for three years with some guidance from people that don't use chakra, he has to be able to fall to something. Hence the Chakra exhaustion. I also happen to like the word hence; hence the repetition.

-The Kyuubi having a weird change of personality was something that is logical: before he was just doing something normal, at this point he could try negotiating a way to get some of his stuff done. He had all the cards that time, why play the nice guy? And for being a powerful demon you got to know how to play cards- I hear that's all they do down in hades (lol, not really)

-Little GajeelxLevy fluff there- Its cannon-ical, its reasonable, its fluff. I support the pairing anyway. Doesn't really bother me.

-Fu is back, and from what she said about being back from Galuna, she didn't get anything. I can see her ready to go 'FU SMASH!' like the hulk, what about you guys? xD :O

-Ironically the notes got smaller from the original chapter

I should have put up the notice about changing the chapters earlier, I apologize; Read, rage and/or review!

~Crunch! (Random Cookies) :D
