Chapter 14: Dark Mage

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail.

Sadly, I cannot update next week, because I am going on a trip. Well, let's jump straight into this.

"What do you mean Sasuke has been excommunicated?!" Shouted Natsu

"Natsu, it's better this way, Sasuke was never one to be tied down to something anyway." The Master said although he spoke in a somewhat saddened tone.

"I know Laxus was excommunicated, because of what he did, but Sasuke didn't do anything!"

"According to you and Gajeel, Sasuke attempted to kill both of you. This is better than Sasuke being put in prison isn't it?"

"I-I'm sure something was wrong!" Natsu said faltering for a second which was rare.

"Exactly, something was wrong with Sasuke. Hopefully, he will recover, and one day we will find him once again."

"Master! Is it true you excommunicated Sasuke?" Erza asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, as you know Laxus was excommunicated, however, many of you don't know that Sasuke was also," Makarov said looking at Erza and Natsu.

"Stop saying words like excomidcate, there too hard to understand!" Natsu said clutching his head

"Yeah, just call it kicked out if that's what you prefer," Gray said who had just come towards them.

"Just get out you brats! We'll talk about this another day!"

"No! Let's talk right now, right here!" Natsu said

"I understand, Master," Erza said as she started to drag the two teens outside of the master's office.

"Hey!-"

"Wait-"

"Come on, I'm sure the others are waiting," Erza said as she dragged the two, by their ears.

"This isn't over!-" Natsu shouted as the door shut behind him.

Sasuke walked through a burnt down town. This wasn't his doing. He investigated the town, looking for any sign of life. Who could have done this? And why? Acnologia was out of the picture, this town was not related to dragons in the least. Sasuke looked up at the night sky. The stars shone brilliantly and shone light onto this tragic land. For now, Sasuke decided to sleep in a nearby cave.

As Sasuke peered into the dark, he lit his hand with golden flames and lit the cave up. He placed scrolls down beside a makeshift bed, he unsealed one and stared into a broken sword. It was a shame, that a sword like this was destroyed. The fact that it was a gift from someone he considered a comrade, didn't help. Sasuke swung the broken blade and sealed the entrance to the cave. Sasuke dropped the blade and crouched down, as he blew the golden flames to ashes. Darkness consumed the cave, and Sasuke lay on his makeshift bed, trying to make himself comfortable for the day to come.

Sasuke dreamt. He found himself back in the Uchiha clan compound. He saw the Sage of Six Paths try to talk to him, but Sasuke couldn't make out his words.

"S*su*e d*n*t t**** *n***e*a*, h* w*** f*n* *o*"

Sasuke couldn't even read his lips as this was a dream, however, it felt real. If Sasuke was to describe it, it was like when Sasuke first died.

Sasuke woke up in a pool of sweat, he lit his hands and willed Amaterasu to burn away at the sealed entrance, as he started to regain his bearings. He saw sunlight shine on him, and he started to get ready.

He started on his way, wearing a long traveling cloak. However, something stood in his way. A monstrous scorpion that was pure red, with a few golden lines all over its body.

"What are you supposed to be?" Sasuke asked not expecting it to respond back,

"I am Serket, a demon of Zeref, and you will die human," Serket responded with an angry tone.

Sasuke unsealed Kizuna.

"Do you mock me? You expect to fight me with a broken blade?!" Serket asked taking offense.

"Enton: Kagutsuchi," Sasuke said as black flames wrapped around the blade

"Chidori," Sasuke said as this time a pale blue blade erupted from the broken one, with black flames surrounding it. Sasuke remembered when he used this jutsu against Naruto.

'Amenotejikara'Sasuke thought, switching places with a grain of sand. Sasuke stabbed his blade through Serket's back and sliced its tail off.

Serket started screaming, as the demon started to dissipate into ashes.

Sasuke heard clapping.

"My, you took care of that demon quite easily." A woman with black hair said.

"Would you like me to kill you too?" Sasuke threatened his Sharingan glaring holes into her.

The woman was obviously affected. She was scared, but she didn't run.

Sasuke looked at her magic signature.

"You... were the one manipulating Jellal, weren't you?" Sasuke asked

"I'm impressed, to think that you would figure that out, just by looking at my magic signature."

"My Master would like to offer you something. A place in our guild Grimoire Heart." Ultear said while trying to control the urges to run.

"Grimoire Heart... one of the three pillars of the Balam Alliance."

Sasuke thought over this. If he refused, the woman would either run away or attack him. If she attacked him, he would kill her. If she ran, he would kill her. However, if he killed her, the rest of the Balam Alliance might take it as a declaration of war. This would endanger Fairy Tail. If he accepted, he could spy on them and use their sources to learn more about Acnologia. He could also protect Fairy Tail this way. However, if anyone saw him with Grimoire Heart, he would be pinned down as a dark mage. Sure, he had connections with the King, but he doubted that would be enough. He could turn on Grimoire Heart and send information to the council, or Fairy Tail. However, if the Balam Alliance had spies working at the council... He was overthinking this.

"Very well, I accept this request," Sasuke said.

He could see the woman relax a bit.

"What's your name?" Sasuke asked he couldn't call her "Woman" the entire time.

"U-Ultear," She said her face a little red.

"Whatever," Sasuke said losing interest

"YOU!"
