Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow: Chapter 1: Darkness Within.

Year: X772

The Kingdom of Fiore is a land known for its Magic Guilds and in the City of Magnolia there is only one Guild, Fairy Tail. Outside the Guild there was a young boy, his name was Naruto Dreyar. He was the younger brother of Laxus and grandson of Makarov, the Third Master of Fairy Tail. At the age of 8 all he had known in his whole life was the Guild itself as he and Laxus helped his grandfather run it. He loved Fairy Tail and he loved Magnolia. Even though he couldn't use magic he always tried ways to make himself known as a Mage of Fairy Tail.

"Hahahaha! You're too slow you'll never catch me old man, hahahaha!" Naruto bored a wide grin as he shouted at the man chasing after him.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT! YOU HAVE TO WASH OFF YOUR FACE YOU PAINTED ON MY SHOP WALL!" Yelled the local shopkeeper as he ran after Naruto. Naruto simply pulled his tongue out gave him an eye ball as he quickly climbed the guttering to make his heroic escape. Once he got on to the roof the second stage of his plan came into action.

"Naruto tell me why I'm here again? Why do you keep pranking?" Laxus looked bored as he sat waiting for Naruto to arrive.

"Aww why do you always have to be a party pooper Laxus-nii? Can't we just have fun like when we swapped Gramp's tomato soup for hot sauce hehe" Naruto rubbed the back of his head at Laxus who simply shrugged.

"I'll admit at the time that was funny but you forgot one little tiny fact." Laxus got up and walked towards Naruto.

"Really didn't think i did what was it?" Naruto was confused he was sure that his prank was that simple.

Laxus punched Naruto in the head forcing him to kiss the roof. "YOU FORGOT THAT I GOT THE BLAME FOR THAT LITTLE PRANK YOU IDIOT!"

"OWWW! Why do you have to be so mean Laxus-nii? You know I can't use Magic so I need you to help my grand escape." The moment Naruto finished the shopkeeper had gotten onto the roof.

"HEY BRAT... Oh honorable grandson could you do this simple shopkeeper a favor and grab a hold of that whiskers brat please." Laxus turned toward Naruto.

"Sure old timer i'll take good care of him" Sweat pour fast down Naruto's face

"Eh Laxus-nii what are you AHHH!" Laxus grabbed Naruto by his shirt and lifted him over his shoulder.

"If you don't mind I'll be taking him for his..." Laxus stops mid setence to turn and face Naruto "Punishment." Laxus with Naruto in tow then jumped from the roof and quickly moved through the streets of Magnolia and dropped Naruto inside the Guild.

"Wow! You really sold that well didn't you Laxus-nii. Hahaha we really had that old guy fooled right?.. Right?" Laxus didn't respond. Panic started to fill over Naruto's eyes when Makarov slugged Naruto on the back of his head.

"You brat! It's bad enough I have to deal with the Magic Council over Guild matters but to have nearly the entire city chase over you! I swear I don't know what's worse!" An animated Makarov roars at Naruto.

Naruto was always one to pull pranks around the guild his favorites to fool were Macao, Wakaba and of course his Grandfather. There was only one man who he feared and that was Ivan Dreyar, Luxas' Father. He always had a dodgy feeling in his gut that something wasn't right about him. That his smile was always fake and he could feel that he held darkness within his heart.

Ivan entered the guild fresh from completing another request. "Where is my Father? I wish to speak to him."

"I'm right here. And there really is no need to be so formal. What is it you need?" Makarov showed Ivan his position by raising his hand.

"I will be taking Laxus now. I do not believe that he is strong enough for his age I'm going to train him to make sure he will be the strongest that this guild will either have or has had!" Ivan spoke with grit in his voice. He was not asking but demanding.

"The answer is no Ivan. I do not know what you plan to do with Laxus with your training but knowing you it would put him in danger!"

"Are you questioning my loyalty towards my own son?" Ivan tried to retort but Makarov stopped him.

"No, I'm questioning my own loyalty to my own son." Ivan moved towards Laxus and grabbed his arm.

Ivan narrowed his eyes as he stared down at his father. He knew where his argue ment was going but he needed to keep a warm face in front of the other members of the guild. "Come Laxus-chan we're going home, you can see Jiji and Naruto tomorrow." Ivan stated as he grabbed Laxus' arm and dragged him away from the guild.

Naruto looked at Makarov. Makarov was thinking why his own son was trying so much to undermine him in front of the whole guild. Rage filled Makarov but it soon passed. He wasn't going to let this settle but unlike Ivan he knew when it would've been best to settle things, more privately.

Gildarts walked up to Ivan. "Ivan, I know that we have never really seen eye to eye but I cannot stand and watch you try and destroy your relationship with your father. Wither he is the Master or not."

Ivan turned to face Gildarts. "Why would I care what you think? Mind your own business or do I have to remind you of your OWN family." Gildarts was taken back by Ivan's harsh words. The pain of when his wife Cornelia left him, even if it was 6 years ago was fresh in his memory. Most recently as well hearing news that she had recently passed away did not help as well.

"IVAN" That was the moment that tipped it over the top for Makarov. He was filled with fury but he was not the only one. Naruto liked Gildarts, he was like a father figure to him. Naruto wasn't about to stand and watch this monster walk over both his grandfather and his father figure. He rushed towards Ivan, his fist clenched.

Ivan didn't expect anyone let alone Naruto to attack him. This caught him off guard but as soon Naruto was about to make contact he was stop by Makarov who had extended his arm to grab hold of him.

"No Naruto. I will deal with him later. For now Ivan I what you to leave and you WILL bring Laxus here tomorrow. We will talk things over then when you have calmed down a bit." Naruto knew this was a lie. Makarov told Ivan to leave so the both of them would calm down not just Ivan. Ivan simply scoffed in response as he left the guild. Laxus followed his father in silence but glanced back at his grandfather and Makarov before doing so..

Meanwhile Gildarts was still silent. Trying to get things off his mind he walked over to the request board and picked a request from it. He didn't even look at it he just needed to have time himself to cool down and let some emotions out of him. He knew he was unable to do it in the guild as he was unable to control his own powers.

"Master I'll be taking this job." Showing the request paper to Makarov he simply nodded as Gildarts left the guild. As he walked outside he seen a little girl with a small white dog beside her. She looked lost as if she was trying to find something or someone.

"Are you okay? Are you lost? Do you need any help with directions?" Gildarts asked the small girl.

"No sir, I'm not lost… Well I don't know actually. I'm trying to find Fairy Tail. I'm a mage and I wish to join!" The small girl answered Gildarts' question.

"Hahahaha! Well kid you're in luck! See this big building here" Gildarts points his thumb toward the guild "This is Fairy Tail"

"Oh thank you sir! I'm guessing you're a mage from Fairy Tail, my name is Cana Alberona." She smiled looking at Gildarts. She was so happy she had meet her first member of Fairy Tail.

"Why, it's a pleasure to meet you as well Cana, the name's Gildarts Clive." Gildarts smile Cana who was stunned to hear that she was speaking to Gildarts.

"You're Gildarts Clive!"

"Haha! Yeah that's right in the flesh. Hahaha why have you heard stories about me Cana?"

"Oh of course I have, who hasn't"

"Hahaha I think you'll be great for Fairy Tail Cana. Now when you enter inside as to speak to Makarov and tell him you're a friend of mine and wish to join the guild. He'll help you out. Okay?"

Cana bowed and entered the Guild inside she saw a blonde haired boy with 3 whisker marks on each cheek and an old man not much taller than herself beside him. She walked over towards them.

The next day Ivan entered the Guild with purpose. He noticed Naruto talking to a young girl he had never seen before inside the guild but he choose to ignore it. He moved towards his father who was resting on the bar. "I'm here, what is it you wish to speak about?" Ivan once more sounded like he was demanding rather than asking.

"I wish to know why you want to train Laxus. I know he's not a weak child. In fact at the way he is progressing he could be an S-Class wizard before by the time he's eighteen. Which is much faster than you I might like to add." Makarov stopped himself and looked behind Ivan noticing someone was missing. "Where is Laxus by the way? I thought I asked you to bring him here with you?"

"Laxus-chan feel ill overnight. He started sweating heavily after I implanted Lacrima into his body. All to make him stronger of course. Now he will be the most powerful wizard in the history of Fiore."

"YOU DID WHAT!" Makarov yelled out loudly.

Despite talking about the guild with Cana, Naruto could still over hear the conversation and upon hearing that Lacrima was implanted in Laxus he knew that his big brother's life could be in danger. He knew this because he had stolen a Lacrima crystal nearly a year ago and asked his grandfather to implant it within him so that he may be able to use and learn magic.

Makarov was so angry at Naruto for asking that he nearly destroyed half of Magonlia. A deep surge of rage was filling Naruto more than he felt yesterday. The words he Grandfather had said to him kept echoing in his mind. 'Naruto implanting Lacrima could cost you your life. The power within the crystal puts the holders body on a knife edge. And if the body isn't strong enough then it's violently rejected by the body. IT COULD KILL YOU YOU IDIOT!'

Naruto couldn't hold back his rage and once again ran at Ivan. But this time Makarov could do nothing to stop him. "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BIG BROTHER! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Naruto's appearance had slightly changed. His eyes were no longer blue but crimson red, his hair now had more of a rougher look. Striking Ivan he sent the mage crashing into the guild's wall. The impact of Ivan's body on the wall caused a whole to appear in the wall.

Slowly Ivan started to get back to his feet. Having not expected to be hit from behind he took the full force of Naruto's attack. But as soon as he got to his feet Naruto was already in front of him. 'The brat's fast.'

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto yelled out in rage and he kept throwing punch after punch, kick after kick. He didn't slow down in his attack on Ivan.

Makarov was stunned he never expected such power from Naruto. 'Has his magical powers finally awakened?' Makarov thought to himself as he watched Naruto's attacks. 'No there is a cold darkness surrounding Naruto's body. It's as if he isn't in control of his own body' Makarov concluded his thought by acting as fast as he could. To not only to save Ivan but Naruto as well.

Extending his hands he crushed Naruto into the ground knocking him unconscious. Looking at his grandchild on the ground he noticed his hair had returned to normal. Having been embarrassed by Naruto, Ivan was utterly furious.

"THAT BRAT! I'LL KILL HIM" Ivan shouted out in anger as he started to walk over to the unconscious Naruto. But he was stopped in his tracks when his father Makarov walked in front of him. "Move it old man... That demon child need to be punished for what he's done."

"Tell me why Ivan? Is it because he hurt your body, or your ego?" Makarov asked but he son did not replay. "I would count yourself lucky Ivan that it was Naruto who jumped to fight you, instead of me. Because no one here would've been able to stop me." Makarov coldly asked his son.

"You wouldn't dare old man. Hahaha, this guild is weak without me and you know it. The second your guard is down that boy shall be taught a lesson that attacking me will bring consequences to him." Ivan pointed at Naruto as coldly stated to Makarov.

Silence then surrounded the guild upon hearing Ivan's words. It was so quite that they could clearly hear the orders from the restaurant across the street facing the guild hall itself.

"Ivan... Am I right in believing that you would kill this child?" Makarov asked his son. Ivan however could not see Makarov's eyes as his father's head was facing the ground.

"He'll die if he's not able to survive." A chill then swept through the guild. It was felt by every mage of Fairy Tail as Ivan's word rang through them.

"You have left me with no choice. As the Third Master of Fairy Tail I hear by remove as a member of Fairy Tail. Not only have you possibly killed your own son but you have threatened the life of a mere child. A child who was acting like a true Fairy Tail Mage in defending his family. Protecting and caring for the people around him. Jumping in to defend the people he wants to help and protect..." Makarov stated back to his son before he pointed towards the Guild's entrance. "Now get out of my sight."

"Like you have power over me. You're an old man. A shell of your former power. Now move!" Ivan once more tried to grab Naruto but Makarov again blocked his path.

"You have not listened to reason. I don't know if I will regret this for the rest of my life but my heart has decided. You have till the count of three." Makarov extended his arms. "... One!"

"Y-Yon wouldn't dare!"

"... Two" Magical power swirled between Makarov's hands

"Y-You're b-bluffing old man!"

"... Three!" Makarov slammed his hands together. "Fairy Law invoked!"

A bright, warm light engulfed Magnolia. However on one seemed to be hurt. In fact most had had the feeling of being hugged by angels themselves. As the light had vanished Ivan was seen shaking. He stared at his father his face showing that he had witnessed true terror.

"Leave and never come near Fairy Tail again... If I find that you have so much lifted a finger towards any of my children, you'll wish I ended your life right now." Upon hearing Makarov's words and tone of voice Ivan ran away from the guild as fast as he could.

Naruto soon woke with his whole body aching in pain. "Ow ow ow ow ow w-why am I hurting?.. Last thing I remember was talking to Cana and then... " Naruto stated out as he had a confused look on his face.

Seeing the confusion on Naruto's face Makarov felt that the time was right for Naruto to know. AS he walked towards Naruto he placed his hand on the boy's shoulders gaining his attention. "Naruto I want you to follow me... There is something that I have to show you. I think I should've told you about this a few years ago."
