Hey everybody, Pixel here. Two chapters in the same month? What a rare thing! What could it be? Okay…I'll be real here, remember when I said I was going to be going on a MASSIVE GRIND this month? Yeah, this is the result of that grind. I've been busy writing and editing chapters to most of my stories and plan to upload them all before the 7th of December, the day I go on leave for the holidays and I WON'T write for the remainder of the year. So yeah…

Okay, so the last chapter was a good one since I got positive reviews from the sites, and it's good and all, thanks by the way, and some of y'all gave me some ideas to way and feedback me that my partner in crime has taken into consideration. Oh, by the way, this partner in crime will be unknown until we've reached a certain chapter in this arc, where he'll reveal himself to you all. So, keep that in mind

So, this chapter is rather unique as this one is NOT based on any of the episodes from Season 1 but rather, it's a completely original one, coming from the mind of Pixel. My partner and I had felt it was time to do an original one after a year of basing and editing and really try our hand at this, and we are pleased with what came out.

This chapter and the next one will focus on Naruto and Musa as they'll be going on a road trip for their break. "Where to?" you may be asking, you'll have to read and see. The chapters will contain music, including songs from an anime Movie called: Your Name (I think y'all know this movie, it broke me…) and from an HBO Original Show I've been watching as of late. It's called: Euphoria, now, which song was used in this chapter? I'll leave that to y'all to guess.

I left a poll in the last chapter regarding Mirta and I was shocked to hell and back at the results so far (And pissed since two guys had two ruin it). I won't say how it's going yet, be patient and I'll release the results of the poll at the end of the month so you can see what y'all chose.

I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'll talk in the end notes.


Fox Among Fairies:

Chapter 13: A Melodic Trip and a Festival to remember. Pt 1.


[Universe 21458: Magic Universe-Magix]

[Date: 21 November: Monday]

[Time: 10:00 a.m., Day]

[Location: Winx-Dorm, Alfea-Magix]


The mid-term exams have ended and with it, the semester. And every one of the students had left the campus and headed back home to their home realms to go and relax, rest their bodies and minds, or simply spend time with their loved ones

Well…almost everyone….

There was one female student who remained at Alfea and that was Musa, in her PJs as she was currently in her dorm room, reading one of her novels in trying to relax.

Now, why was she the only one left at Alfea while everyone else, including some of the staff and her friends, had left for their vacation?

Well, to answer that, I'll have to take you all back in time and let the story take over


[Flashback]

[Date: 18 November: Friday]

[Time: 20:32 p.m., Evening]

[Location: Winx-Dorm, Alfea-Magix]


"So, who's ready to go back home for the vacation!?" Stella yells, standing up from her seat. She and the other girls were in their lounge area, discussing the upcoming break.

"Why are you so excited about this Stella? It's just a week break." Bloom asks, Stella just turns to the Earth fairy

"Yeah, but a week of no school is a paradise to me. No waking up early, no homework or assignments or particles. And finally, no witches! It's just fun, fun and fun from here on out." Stella says, falling back to the couch where Bloom and Tenca sat. Flora sat on one of the other chairs in the room while Musa was on the floor, legs crossed

"So, what are you guys going to do this break?" Bloom asks

"Well, I'm heading back home. It's that time when they start to bloom and I'm planning on being there to capture the moment." Flora says

"I'm heading back home on Zenith. It's that time for the open cards of EVO are open. And I'm planning on entering them this year. What about you Bloom?" Tecna asks, turning to the redhair

"I'm going back to my parents. It's almost time for Thanksgiving on Earth and I wanna spend it with my family." Bloom says, feeling really excited to see her parents after not seeing them for nearly 5 months

"Aw, that's really sweet Bloom." Flora says, smiling at Bloom, making her smile as well

"Thanks, Flora." Bloom says, she then turns to Stella "So, what are your plans for the break Stella?" She asks as Stella gains a smirk and flashes out her card

"I'm heading home and doing tons of shopping. It's that time of year when the new fashion season is about to start and I need to seriously change my style to that season to stay in trend." Stella says, the girls knew that this was so Stella, so it wasn't really surprising to hear that. Bloom turns to the last one, being Musa

"And you Musa? What are you going to do at your home realm?" Bloom asks, Musa just shakes her head

"Oh, I'm not going home." Musa says, surprising the others

"Huh? Why?" Flora asks

"Knowing my Dad, he'll probably won't be at home since some music concert or festival is happening in another realm. So, my house would be empty and I really don't want to have to deal with things back home. So, I'm just going to stay here and relax during the break." Musa says

"Are you sure you wanna stay here Musa? It could get boring here being all alone." Stella says

"Better than going to an empty house." Musa says. She sees the girls were looking at her with worried looks and she gets up "Look, I'll be fine girls. Trust me, I've got my books with me to keep me occupied. I'll be fine. Really." She says, reassuring them

"Are you really sure okay with this?" Tenca asks, Musa just smiles and waves their concern

"Yep, I'll be fine. You girls just go back home and enjoy your vacations. You all need it, me too. I'm just doing things differently, that's all." Musa says. The girls look at her and saw that she was serious about this and felt that it could be okay for her to stay.

"Okay. But just promise us that you'll be okay." Bloom says, Musa nods and smiles

"Promise." Musa says. The girl then got together and gave each other a big group hug


[End Flashback]


That was a few days ago and Musa was utterly bored out of her mind right now.

She was on her bed, reading one of her novels with it levitating in the air with the use of her magic. She was on the last page of the novel and was reading it at a surprising rate, which of course didn't take her that long to finish the page and the book. She sighs and makes the book float toward her bookshelf where all of her other novels, the ones she also read, were stationed and placed the book in its correct place. Musa flops backward on her bed and stares at the ceiling

'Great. I am now officially bored...I did everything imaginable in the span of just 3 days. I went to Magix, while avoiding that part of the city in case of any witch was there, and did my things there, including watching the latest movie. I then tuned my bass and guitar and read all my novels. I even did all the assignments we were given before the break started yesterday!' Musa thought, grabbing her untied hair as she was getting frustrated at the fact she did everything too quickly. She sighs and lets go of her hair and looks back to the ceiling.

'Man, there's nothing to do here. All the professors are gone except Faragonda and Griselda. I could go back home but what's the point? I mean, Dad's not even there since there's a festival somewhere in the universe that must have his attention. Plus, I really don't want to deal with…them again. What am I going to do…?' Musa thought, about to accept the dread that is boredom when she remembers something

'Wait, a festival? Isn't the Rising Sun festival this week back home?' Musa thought, she sits up and turns to her bedside where her phone rested. She grabs it and starts to scroll through posters she had on it for future use, most of them were music-related, others were just others and let's leave it at that. Musa scrolls through the posters for what she was looking for and soon finds the poster and sees its dates and saw that the festival was starting tomorrow. 'It is. Maybe, I could go there. I mean, it's just a two-day festival and it could be fun, there'll be food, games, stands and of course, music. But, there'll be loads of couples there, and the chances of me getting hit on by desperate guys are high. Great...' She thought, sighing once more, Musa flops back onto her bed and closes her eyes, ready to call it quits, when she realizes there was someone who could go with her. Someone she hasn't heard from these last couple of days

'Naruto! Maybe he could come along with me. Maybe he'll agree in coming along with me.' Musa thought, she looks back to her phone for the time and saw it was 10:06 'Okay, it's still early, meaning he could either be here in his room or at work in the city. I just hope he'll be in his room so I can talk to him about this.' She thought, making her decision, Musa gets up from her bed and headed to the bathroom to go get cleaned up before heading towards the tunnels and Naruto's room.

She turns on the hot water in the shower, letting the water heat up as steam was filling the room. Musa looks at the mirror and thought about Naruto and his choice of the plan

'I just hope he agrees with this. I could really need his company for this…and…to spend some time with him.' Musa thought, with her last thought causing her to have a small blush. Once she felt the shower had reached the right level of hot and cool water, she grabs her powder blue sweatshirt and starts to remove it as the steam fills the room completely, making her disappear in it


[Time: 10:38 a.m.]

[Location: Naruto's cave, Alfea-Magix]


Naruto wasn't at work as he got the week off but instead was in his room in the garage bay, busy working on something he has been actually working on for a while now. It was nowhere near complete but it was getting there. He was covered in oil and stains as he backs away from his project and looks at it and smiles at how it was coming along

"A few more months of this and then some fine-tuning and she'll be ready. Man, I can't wait to show you off to Frank, Granny, Auntie, and the girls when you're done, tested, and ready since I don't wanna blow up." Naruto says, feeling quite proud at what he was looking at as he grabs a cloth and wipes his hands clean of the oil on them. Suddenly, there was a knock at his door, making him turn to it

"Who is it?" Naruto asks, thinking it could be one of the staff

"It's me Naruto, Musa!" Musa's voice rang on the other side of the door, surprising him since he assumed that all the girls had left for the break

"Oh, coming. J-just give me a minute." Naruto says, dropping the cloth, he heads over to the project and covers it with a big piece of cloth. Once it was concealed, Naruto heads over to the door and opens it, seeing Musa there, in her casual wear

"Hey Musa, what are you doing here? Didn't you leave with the others?" Naruto asks, Musa shakes her head

"No, I didn't. I decided to stay behind and relax." Musa says, Naruto nods

"Oh, okay." Naruto says, seeing the logic in that

"So, what's with the whole oil on you?" Musa asks, taking note of the oil on him currently

"Oh, I was busy working on my bike. It needed some maintenance." Naruto says, lying of course to protect his project

"Oh, okay." Musa says

"Sure, what's up?" Naruto says and Musa starts rubbing her arm

"Well, I came down here and wanted to ask you…if you want to come with me to Melody?" Musa asks, making Naruto look at her with a surprised expression

"To Melody, the musical realm? Your home realm?" Naruto asks and Musa nods "Why?" He asks

"Well, I kinda got bored here quickly and I remembered that's gonna be a big festival there that starts tomorrow night. And I wanted to go there but I need someone to go with. So, I figured that maybe I could ask you." Musa says. Naruto leans on his doorframe and thinks about it

"A festival? Mmm, I've never been to a festival that's in another realm before..." Naruto says, thinking about it with his eyes squinted. He looks back at Musa "What's gonna be there?" He asks

"Oh, there's going to be games, food stands, stands where you can buy various things, and a big stage where music performances are going to be." Musa says, Naruto nods but he starts to rub the back of his head, nervously

"I see…well, I don't think I can go with you to Melody." Naruto says, making Musa look at him

"What? Why?" Musa asks

"I don't know if Granny will let me go…since I'm still a secret to the world." Naruto says. Musa's eyes widen at the memory of the night she and the others learned about Naruto and his conditions

"Oh…yeah…I forgot about that…" Musa says, looking downcast at the realization, which Naruto instantly notices

"But I could go and ask her if I can." Naruto says, making Musa look at him with hope

"Really?" Musa asks

"I could try and convince her if I can go. If she says yes, we'll definitely go. Promise" Naruto says

"O-Okay. If she does say yes, you can call me and we'll go." Musa says

"Alright." Naruto says. Musa nods and processed to leave the tunnel. Naruto closes his door and sighs as he walks back to the garage bay and looks at the concealed project of his

'Melody. The realm of Music. Maybe it'll be a good idea for me to get out of here. I have been in my room for the last 3 days working on my little side project. Maybe this could be good for me, plus heading to a whole different realm could change the pace I've been going in for a while now.' Naruto thought, he thinks about the possible outcomes of asking Faragonda if he could go and the most possible outcome he saw was her saying no. He sighs again

'I just hope she agrees.' That was his last thought as he goes to his bathroom to go and get cleaned up


[Time: 11:05 a.m.]

[Location: Faragonda's office, Alfea-Magix]


Faragonda was in her office, looking at an old-looking book while drinking some tea. The book was a book about the different origins and history of all the known realms in the Magix universe. And the realm she was busy looking at was the now barren planet: Domino.

'Why would Bloom be so interested in Domino? Is there a connection between her and Domino?' Faragonda thought, looking at the book. She had heard for Bloom's mid-term exam, she picked a simulation of Domino which peaked her intrigue. Seeing that Bloom was an Earth fairy, so why would she be interested in a planet as barren as Domino? Her thoughts were put to a halt when she hears a knock

"Come in." Faradonga says, thinking it was the door when actually, it was the bookshelf opening and Naruto walks in, in his casual clothes "Oh, Naruto. Hello." She greets her adoptive grandson

"Hi, Granny." Naruto greets back

"What brings you here?" Faragonda says as she closes the book while Naruto came up to her desk and sat down on one of the chairs

"Well, Granny. I came here to ask you something." Naruto says

"Oh, and what is it?" Faragonda says

"Well, see Musa came to my room a little while ago." Naruto says, surprising Faragonda a bit

"Musa? She's still here?" Faragonda asks as Naruto nods "What did she ask you?" She asks

"She asked if I could go with her to Melody for the remainder of the break since there's going to be a festival there." Naruto

"She came and asked if you wanted to go with her to Melody for the rest of the break?" Faragonda asks, and Naruto nods

"Yep. So, can I go?" Naruto asks, hoping that she would agree but Faragonda had another thought

"I'm sorry Naruto, but I don't you should go." Faragonda says, catching Naruto off guard as he looks at her with wide eyes

"B-But why Granny?" Naruto asks

"It's dangerous for you to go to another realm. You're something that Magix has never seen before, a complete mystery, and it would be dangerous if anyone were to discover you know. You still don't have any of your memories, and if anyone were to figure out just what and who you are, it could lead to disasters." Faragonda says. Naruto stands up and places his hands on her desk

"But Granny, I can protect myself. You know I can." Naruto says, holding out his left arm with his rune glowing

"But still I think you shouldn't-" Faragonda was trying to say something but Naruto cut her off

"Please, I can't stay here. Please, I promised Musa I'd go with her. Please. Please let me go." Naruto says, holding his hands together and giving her a pleading look. Faragonda sees the look and knew that Naruto wasn't going to let this go or give up. So, she sighs

"Alright, alright. You can go." Faragonda says, and just as Naruto was about to cheer, she stops him

"But on a few conditions." Faragonda says

"Okay, what are they?" Naruto asks, sitting back down in his seat and listening to what Faragonda had to say

"First, look after yourself and Musa." Faragonda says, Naruto nods

"Okay." Naruto says

"Second, don't do anything that'll attract attention toward yourself. Keep a low profile." Faragonda says

"Alright." Naruto says

"And third and lastly, enjoy yourselves." Faragonda says, Naruto flashes a grin

"Okay, Granny." Naruto says, he gets up from his seat and heads over to Faragonda, and gives her a big hug "Oh, you're the best ever! I promise I'll be safe." He says, Faragonda just smiles and returns the hug

"I'm sure you will. Have fun over there Naruto." Faragonda says.

"I will." Naruto says, he then lets go of her and heads over to the bookshelf and opens it.

"Bye, I'll see you on Sunday!" Naruto says, waving Faragonda with her waving back to him

"Bye Naruto." Faragonda says, the blonde walks into the bookshelf as it closes, leaving her in the office, she sighs and looks toward the ceiling. She knew that Naruto could take care of himself but she was understandingly worried about him

'I hope I've made the right choice in this…' Faragonda thought, sighing once more, she turns back to the old book and opens the book again to the page of Domino and the Great Dragon, looking for any information that could help the puzzle that was Bloom


[Time: 11:58 am]

[Location: Naruto's cave-Alfea, Magix.]


Naruto and Musa were in his garage bay right beside his bike, as they were busy packing their bags and placing them into Naruto's rune seal for storage as they were discussing

"I can't believe Miss Faragonda really let you go with me." Musa says, she was surprised when Naruto came to her and said he could go with her and explained the conditions he received. Naruto couldn't happy but nod

"I know right? I really thought she wasn't going to but after convincing her that it'll be fine, she let me go." Naruto says, putting on his letterman jacket while handing Musa a hoodie

"Man, this is going to be awesome. We'll have a great time over there and at the festival. I promise that you'll have a great time." Musa says, smiling brightly at Naruto which he unknowingly found to be cute. He couldn't help but crack a smile too

"I look forward to that Musa." Naruto says. Once they had finished their preparations, Naruto hops onto his bike and starts it up, making it roar to life. Musa hops onto it shortly after and wraps her arms around Naruto's midsection. He looks over his shoulder at her

"You ready?" Naruto asks and Musa nods

"Yup." Musa says

"Okay then. Let's go!" Naruto says, he sets off, and the two exit the tunnel via the secret entrance. They travel down the road to Magic city at a fair pace, not too fast and not too slow as they were taking in the scenery around them. They drive into the city as Naruto stops at a light, he turns to Musa and asks a question that's been in his mind since they left Alfea

"So, how do we get to Melody? I mean, I can't exactly drive all the way there since I have no idea how to get there." Naruto asks, Musa giggles

"Oh, there's easy. Just go up." Musa says, causing Naruto to get confused

"Up?" Naruto asks

"Yes, up. Look up." Musa says, pointing up to the sky, Naruto looks up and sees several flying magic cars in the air as they fly straight into the sky and just...disappear into thin air after they fly into a bunch of clouds "See what just happened?" She asks and Naruto nods

"Yeah, what happening to the cars?" Naruto asks

"There are something called the interdimensional neural teleportation network or INTN, aka an interdimensional portal highway. We use those to trip across realms to our destination." Musa says

"How do we use them? 'Cuz I don't see any signs telling us where to go." Naruto says

"Oh, just think on where you want to go and it'll take us there. If there's more than one person in a vehicle, the driver has to be the one who thinks about the destination." Musa says

"Then we have a problem. I have no idea where Melody is." Naruto says

"Relax, I'll do the thinking while you just drive and don't think. That shouldn't be too hard for you." Musa says, cracking a smirk

"Okay…hey!" Naruto says but he registers what Musa said and turns to her with a glare, making her laugh

"Kidding. I'm kidding. Just don't think about any place and we'll be fine." Musa says, Naruto stops glaring but pouts. He nods

"Okay." Naruto says. The light turns green and they set off, going down the street. Naruto looks up again and spots a car flying, assuming to one of these portals

'Well, this does give me the opportunity to finally test the other feature out. I just hope it'll finally work this time and not throw me off like last time. I was stuck in Aunty's office for a week because of it.' Naruto thought, he looks down at the bike's handlebar and sees a flickering button. He presses the button and the bottom of Akira started to glow blue as it was hovering higher than usual. He leans back, lifting the front of the bike up while twisting the throttle, adding more power from the engine and the bike starts to fly into the air, heading to the clouds where the car was heading toward one of the clouds, they follow the car into the cloud and see something up ahead, it was a glowing portal in the shape of a hexagon. The car ahead of them flies straight into the portal and disappears in a flash

"Is that it?" Naruto asks, Musa nods

"Looks like it." "Remember what I said, don't think about any other place or else we'll be teleported somewhere else and we won't know how to get back. It's either that way or no way." Musa says, Naruto gains a serious expression and nods

"Yeah, got it." Naruto says. He steadies Akira and lines up with the portal as he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and starts to clear his mind of anything. They fly into the portal and disappear from Magix

Naruto could feel the bike shaking while hearing various sounds around him. He slowly opens his eyes as they wides and he sees they were traveling at a high speed, passing by multiple realms and stars as they were teleporting, he looks back and sees Musa had her eyes closed and was holding onto him tight. He turns around and sees a light up ahead, which makes him close his eyes again as the shaking start to grow more violent, and then…nothing. Naruto just started to feel the wind blow by, making him open his eyes once more and sees they were in the sky again.

"A-Are we there?" Naruto asks, Musa opens her eyes and looks around, seeing they were in flying through clouds, once they exit the clouds, she looks down and smiles

"Yup. Look down." Musa says. Naruto looks down and his eyes widen in a shocking surprise

"Whoa…" Naruto utters, captured by the beauty of the scenery below them. The area was filled with mountains that were surrounded by large, dense forests with reddish-leaf trees. There was an ocean near a large city with structures built with wood. Musa looks at Naruto and sees he was shocked, she snickers

"I know." Musa says, she looks back down to the city "Naruto, welcome to Melody." She says


[Time: 12:15 pm]

[Location: Magix Universe Realm: M-895: Melody]


"T-This…is beautiful…" Naruto says.

"Yeah, it is." Musa says. They continue to fly through the air, passing many buildings as they fly through the city. Musa looks around and smiles, happy to be back home after all these months. She looks at the ocean and sees houses along the coastline, she turns to Naruto

"Take us toward those houses near the beach." Musa says, pointing toward the houses, Naruto sees the houses and nods

"Okay." Naruto says, he steers toward the coastline. Once they reach the coast, they flew over the many houses. Musa looks over Naruto's shoulder and looks at the houses in the area for one until she found it

"See that house with the music notes on the roof?" Musa asks, she points and Naruto follows where she was pointing and sees a house near the end of the coast, it did have musical notes on the roof

"Yeah?" Naruto says

"Land us over there." Musa says.

"Okay." Naruto nods and flies toward the house, he passes the houses along the way and once they reached the house, he descends to the ground and lands Akira on the ground. The two look at the house as Musa steps forward

"Welcome to my house." Musa says. Naruto looks at the house and saw it was like the other houses and buildings in the city but it had palm trees instead of the trees that were around the realm

"Looks good." Naruto says. The two walk toward the house as Musa pulls out a key from her pocket, she puts the key into the door and opens it as she walks into the house and looks around for anyone

"Dad? You here?" Musa calls out, waiting for a response. One she doesn't receive. She smiles "Good, he isn't here. We can come in." She says, letting Naruto in as he pulls their luggage from his rune and carries them inside the house

"You still sure for us to do this? Should you at least call your dad and let him know that you have a guest with you, a guest who's a boy?" Naruto asks, feeling a bit unsure about entering someone else's house. Musa waves his concern off

"Nah, it's fine. Really. As I said, he isn't here at this time since he's probably at another music festival in another realm far from here. so, it'll be fine for you to stay here for the break." Musa says. Naruto nods, remembering the discussion they had earlier

"Yeah, I remember." Naruto says, placing the luggage down on the floor and starts looking around the house as he sees many pictures on the walls. Most of them were Musa and a woman who looked a lot like her. Musa walks into the kitchen, toward the fridge, and opens it to find it stocked to the brim with various food items

"Good, the fridge is stocked. Just need to remember what to restock what we eat before leaving." Musa says. Closing the fridge and starts looking into the cupboards of anything else in them. Naruto was in the living room with Musa walking into it

"So, what time is this festival gonna start tomorrow?" Naruto asks, Musa shrugs her shoulders and pulls out her phone to see the poster again and see what the time on it says

"At around 17:30." Musa says, Naruto nods

"Cool. Just we have loads of time to kill." Naruto says as he sits on the floor and lays on it, Musa shakes her head and heads over to him

"Nope, you're not. We have something to do." Musa says, making him look up at her

"What? What do we have to do?" Naruto asks

"You seriously think you can go in that?" Musa asks, pointing to his current outfit

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Naruto asks, looking at them

"Nothing is wrong with them. It's just, you really can't go to the festival in them. You have to wear a certain outfit for it. A yukata" Musa says, making Naruto sit up and look at her with a raised eyebrow

"A what now?" Naruto asks. Musa doesn't say anything else and just walks out of the room and up the stairs. He waits a bit before he hears footsteps again and Musa enters the room again and this time she had a pink box with her. She places the box on the floor and opens it with something inside it, she takes the item from the box and holds it out to Naruto. He was looking at garment that had flower patterns. It looked to be hand-sewn into a "T" shape. It was red in color with a flower pattern on the garment.

"This. This is a yukata. It's worn in celebration or for a special event. Every year when the Rising Sun festival comes here, everyone wears this for tradition. Everyone who is gonna go to the festival has to wear one or you're not going in." Musa says as she carefully places the yukata back into the box

"But I don't have a yukata of my own." Naruto says

"Duh, I know that. Which is why we're going into town and getting one for you." Musa says, making Naruto look at her

"Huh?" Naruto says

"We're going into town and we're going shopping for your own yukata, plus we need to buy other things with us before we head to the festival." Musa says, Naruto just lets out a long sigh

"Why now? Can't this wait till tomorrow?" Naruto whines, not wanting to get up but Musa just shakes her head

"Sorry, but due to the festival, most of the stores will be closed with everyone going to the festival. If you need something in town, now's the time to get it." Musa says. Naruto lets out another sigh upon hearing that and knew that this had to be done sooner than later.

"Fine..." Naruto says. He stands up as they exit the house. Naruto heads over to Akira and was about to hop onto it when Musa grabs him by his arm and stops him from doing so

"Nah ha, we're not using your bike this time. We're walking into town." Musa says, making Naruto turn to her

"What? Why, riding Akira will get us to wherever we're going faster." Naruto says

"Naruto, I want to take in as much of Melody while I'm here. Please, do this for me." Musa says. Naruto was about to say something when Musa starts to give him an adorable pleading look. Making him freeze from what he was about to say. While he tries to not break from her look, it wasn't enough and he is defeated. He looks down and sighs

"Okay…we can walk." Naruto says as Musa smiles and hugs him

"Oh thank you!" Musa yells "Trust me, this will be nice." She says as she lets go of Naruto

"Okay." Naruto says as he presses a button on Akira. The button acts as a defense against those foolish enough to try and steal her. What it does, only Naruto and Hank know as they were the ones who installed the defense into the bike.

With the bike secured, the pair head off into the town for their shopping. Along the way, Musa has a pep to her step, looking around the beach and scenery around them and taking it in as she smiles brightly from this. Naruto looks at her and sees just how happy Musa was and couldn't help but smile as well

'Man, she looks so happy. Guess being back home really brings that out of her.' Naruto thought, he looks back to the road ahead and thinks about his 'I wonder how I'd be if I was back home…in my original realm…?' He thought, losing his smile and gaining a sad expression, remembering that he has no memories of his past. Musa turns to him and sees the expression that was currently on his face and that worried her

"Naruto. Naruto." Musa class out to him, causing him to snap out of his thoughts and turns to her

"H-Huh?" Naruto utters

"Are you okay? You looked a bit out of it." Musa says, looking worried. Naruto shakes his head and flashes a grin at her

"Y-Yeah. I was just thinking about something. No biggie." Naruto says, reassuring her he was okay. Musa looks at him for a bit before slowly nodding

"Okay…" Musa says. She wasn't convinced as the grin Naruto flashed looked fake, she should know, since she did the same in her past.


[Insert Music: sad4whatt by ericdoa]


Eventually, the two make it into town and stop at a store that was selling various clothing, even yukatas of different versions and sizes

The two walk into the store and see the large amount of clothing that was displayed and in stock. They start to look around the store for a yukata that was right for Naruto to wear and while they were looking around, Naruto spots something and grins as he heads over to this item. Musa was looking at some jeans, thinking about maybe getting them for herself, not Naruto sneaking up behind her with a grin while holding something in his hands. He places a large hat over her head, startling her since she didn't know what was on her head but she hears Naruto start laughing. She turns around and sees him leaning on a wall and laughing his ass off, she looks up and sees something blocking the view, she takes the hat off and sees it was a large brown cowboy hat. She looks at him with a pout as he continues to laugh but she loses the pout and starts laughing too

Soon after that, they started to try on different clothes and outfits which sparks into an impromptu fashion show

They tried on various clothes and tried out different combinations, most worked while the rest…not so much. But they didn't care, they were having fun. One particular outfit Musa tried out and showed off to Naruto was a two-piece red and white swimsuit, which fit her body rather nicely, Naruto blushes and turns away from her for manners' sake while a bit of blood was dripping from his nose.

Eventually, the fun had to end and the two dressed back into their normal attire as they finally found a yukata that seemed right for the blonde while also finding two other things for it as well. They purchase the yukata and exit the store after a job well done

Unaware of either two of them, someone had seen them exiting the store and recognized Musa. And this person had started following the pair…


[End MUSIC]


The two teens were walking back to Musa's house, with their things in a bag. Naruto opens his bag and takes a look at the item in it

"Man, this looks really good." Naruto says and Musa nods

"Glad you like it. I can't wait to see how it looks on you." Musa says

"Alright, we got the yukata. Now, all that's left is to eat, rest and get ready for the festival tomorrow." Naruto says and Musa nods

"Yup." Musa says, they walk a bit more until she stops as she realizes something "Oh crap. Sorry Naruto but I'm gonna have to leave you." She says, making Naruto stop and turn to her

"Huh? Why?" Naruto asks

"I've got something to get and it's on the other side of the city. It's really important that I get this." Musa says

"Okay, but are you sure you can go by yourself?" Naruto asks and Musa nods

"Relax. I got this." Musa says, taking a step back "Magix Winx!" She yells and transforms into her fairy form

"You're going to use your fairy form?" Naruto asks with Musa nodding

"Hey, it's on the other side of the city, plus taking a bus or walking will be slower than flying." Musa says with Naruto thinking about it

"Fair point." Naruto says, finding it to make sense. Musa starts floating off the ground

"Are you really sure you want to go alone? I could come along with you." Naruto says, Musa smiles at this as she thought it was sweet for him but she can take care of herself, so he had nothing to worry about

"Really Naruto. I'm fine. I'll be fine and be back in no time. You can just head home and wait for me there." Musa says

"Okay. I'll wait." Naruto says

"BRB. No biggie." Musa says before flying away, disappearing into the horizon. Naruto stood there for a bit before turning around and walking again

'Guess, I can start making dinner. I wonder what's in the fridge I can work with.' Naruto though

Unaware to him that Musa hadn't left exactly, she was in the air in the cloud and was watching him leave.

'Okay, now I can go…and see Mom.' Musa thought. She turns around and flies in a different direction, to a hill nearby.

Back on the ground, the person who had been following the pair had just listened to what they just said. They pull out a phone and quickly dial a number. They wait for the phone a bit as the line was busy until the call was picked

["What do you want?"] A voice spoke from the phone

"Hey, boss. Yeah, listen. I've got something to tell you." This person says

["What is it?"] The voice asks, with an annoyed tone

"It's Musa. She's back in town." This person says. They hear a gasp from the other line of the call as a few moments pass until the person on the other line started speaking again

["M-M-Musa…s-she's back…"] The voice says

"Yeah, she's back but…she's with someone…" The person says

["Who?..."] The voice asks

"Some blonde kid Got just shit on his face, looks like whiskers."

["A kid with blonde hair…I see…"] the voice says with a hum as if the owner of the voice was thinking

"What do you want me to do Boss?" This person asks. The voice on the other side doesn't say anything for a bit until…

["Keep watching them from a distance. And keep me updated. I want to know everything they do. And I mean everything."] the voice says, with the person nodding

"You got it." This person says as they drop the call and start to follow Musa where she flew off too

Somewhere else, someone places their phone onto their desk and stares at the wall as they think about someone, someone they thought would never return back here again

"Musa…my love. You've returned to me." This person says as they look from the wall ad to a framed painting on their desk, it was a painting of Musa, although, it looked like the painting version of her was a bit younger than her current age. This person stares at the framed painting and traces their finger across the glass, where Musa's face was "Soon, soon we will be together. Such it should have been from the beginning." This person whispers, traces their finger on the painting's lips, staring at it


つづく...


Ah, the vacation has begun and we see Naruto and Musa about to have a time at Melody. But, it seems that there is someone else spying on them.

What other adventures will hold for our young blonde and young fairy? And who is this boss that seems to be interested in Musa now that she's returned

You'll find out in the next chapter of: Fox Among Fairies!


Hey guys, Pixel here, and thanks for reading my story. It really helps a lot that people are reading my story and I'm grateful for it.

Short that this chapter was shorter, compared to how I usually put it out. I wasn't having the greatest week last week and this week again. Exams, the flu, and writer's block all in one. the worst thing that can happen to

This chapter was something I've wanted to do for a while now since I wanted to try and open up my mind to doing an original chapter and this is what I came up with

You guys can comment on the mistakes I made in the chapter, what you want to see in the story and how much you'd enjoy it.

You can ask me questions on the story in the reviews or PM me if you really want to get to it and what you want to be included in the story

And hope you all will find the references I put in this chapter apart from the ones I pointed out


Now, let's respond to the last chapter's reviews.:

Benyx: Yeah, I understand. Time is something we wish we all had plenty of. Life, man, get to you. So, yeah, Naruto's getting closer and closer to that breaking point and I'll say that it's coming in the future, not the near one but soon. Very soon.

The Storm Master 567: As tempting as it is, I don't think…wait, actually…Nah…maybe…Nah…perhaps…

kl12: Thanks, he will rediscover that soon. It's his trademark, every Naruto has love ramen. Even this one. The necklace, I'm not going to say where it is, but I can say right now, it's in a safe place. The same with his Leaf headband and ninja tools.

Phillyitalian: I saw it but it wasn't of good quality. I'll wait for it when I get a version that's is quality

Dragonkeeper10: Yeah, I'm the same man as Lucy here. Yeah, the Trix really don't stand a chance with an enraged, fox-powered Naruto, maybe with the power of the Great Dragon Flame they could, but it depends on how they use it and their powers. Now, that I think about it, Naruto can solo most of the beings in the Winx universe, even in base form.

Freddy8712: Ah, I see. Good choice. I wonder if she's still alive in Boruto.

Whatif-inator: They will be. Obito in the Winx universe? I'm not too sure if I'll do that. I mean, I know he can teleport into different dimensions with that jutsu of his but Naruto got shot out due to the massive overload of power from the Rasengan and Chidori. So, he needs a lot of power to do that. But I'll think about it

krazychef16: Thanks!

gaaradamirel90: You got it!

Spellbat: No problem, and I listen to my fans. Y'all chose it and I write it.

NinjaFang1331: Thank you.

Jebest4781: Thank you and trust me, things will get even more interesting from here on out.

ghust95: I see. Hey, who knows, maybe I'll bring that jutsu back

drake wind: Yeah, that chapter…that one will be a big game changer in the course of the plot…I can't say much but keep an eye out for it

blukmage19ModeN: Yeah man, I was dead tired and couldn't be bothered by that at the time. But I've triple-checked and read the chapter just in case


Well, that's all I have to say.

Thank you for reading the chapter, please leave a review, follow me if you enjoy it and want more, please go vote on the poll that is live right now, and please go check out my other stories if you wanna see more stuff like this. Stay safe and healthy and I'll check on you all in the next chapter and story

Oh, one more thing. Y'all want a lime scene or a lemon scene in the next chapter? I lowkey want to do a spicy scene in the next chapter but I can't choose which version.

This is Pixel, logging off and I'll see you in the next chapter and over to The Alien Hero: Deku 10

Have a good day/night!
