I Own Nothing

Confessions

The referee looked at Sol with a strange, confused look in his eye before he remembered the beast that Yui had conjured up with her magic power. He frowned. If that girl was giving off vibes of death she could be a problem. However, the Magic Council probably knew this. Still, they couldn't do anything as she had yet to commit any acts that were against the guild code.

Mito glared at Sol. She had wanted Matatabi to be able to give a slight demonstration of her power. Apparently, Sol had chickened out; although she had a very powerful feeling it had to do with Matatabi. Apparently the creature still had enough semblance of control to scare someone off, to protect them. Mito growled. She would have to be more careful around the bijuu. Undoubtedly they wanted to rip her throat out.

The referee nodded. "We will continue the tournament tomorrow, which allows for the arena to be fixed. In the meantime return to your hotels. The tournament starts at eight in the morning." With that the referee sunk into the ground, most likely to go get people to help him fix the arena. The crowd began to disperse, as did all guild members and competitors.

The Fairy Tail mages all regrouped near the mansion all chatting about the tournament.

"You were great out there Naruto," Levy said, looking at him with a smile. Naruto smiled and nodded. "Of course, I am the all-powerful Naruto, king of awesome and magic. The greatest mage of all time." Levy rolled her eyes at the blonde's ego. She could have sworn it was as big, if not bigger than Laxus'. The only reason he didn't act like him was because of his personality.

Sasuke however was more recluse. Or at least, that's what he tried to be. Elfman kept pestering him to a fight, but Sasuke ignored all of his advances, deeming them not worth his time. Elfman continued to do it anyways though. However, the person getting the most recognition was Erza. Not only did she go up against a powerful opponent, but she showcased a new attack.

"What was that attack Erza? Can I learn it," Natsu asked, eager to learn any new move. Erza rolled her eyes. "It's only able to be used by those who wield a blade Natsu. Anyways, it's a spell I made up on my own, with Sasuke's help. He taught me the basics of it. He deserves all the credit."

Mira shook her head. "Sasuke told me himself that he could never complete the spell. His magic is to wild for that and he doesn't have the control necessary for it. Even if he did manage to create a modified version yours is more refined. You deserve some credit Erza," Mira said. Erza blushed and scratched her cheek, embarrassed at all the attention she was getting.

Makarov sighed as he watched the guild members continue to fawn over the competitors, all except for Cana. "Are you okay Cana," he asked. Cana looked at him. "I'm fine. Just drinking." She said as she downed another barrel.

A devious grin exploded onto Makarov's faces. "Drinking contest?" "You're on old man."

It was nighttime as Naruto sat on the roof of the mansion, looking up at the sky. He felt a presence join him.

"Er-chan. How did you get up here?" he asked. She smirked. "A lady has her secrets." She said as she sat down next to him. The duo sat there for a while, in a comfortable, yet awkward silence. Erza broke the silence. "You should probably sleep." Naruto rolled his eyes. "If anyone should be sleeping it's you." Erza snorted in a very unladylike fashion and looked into the stars with him. They receded back into their silence. Finally, Naruto got to the topic that was on both of their minds. "Erza…about the kiss…did you…mean to do that?" he asked. Erza looked at him, and was shocked at what she saw. He was looking at her with a deep sorrow in his eyes. No, not sorrow, loneliness, weakness, vulnerability. She had never seen Naruto look so…so…lost before. He had always seemed confident in whatever he did, and never let anybody tell him to do something different that how he thought he should do it. But now, it looked as if Naruto was a child…an orphan, who needed reassurance.

"I…I couldn't find the words to express it to you then. So I kissed you. But now…I think…I think I know how to express it now."

Naruto looked at Erza, his blue eyes seemingly glowing in the starlight.

"I like you Naruto. I don't know if it's love yet, but I do want to be more than friends with you."

Naruto's world seemed to freeze right then and there. Erza liked him. She actually cared about him. She wanted something more than friendship with him. Naruto couldn't deny that he admired her, and thought exceedingly highly of her. HE definitely cared about her. However, he knew he too felt something more…something more pure…yet also something more primal.

"I like you too Erza. I would love it if we were more than friends." Erza smiled brightly as did Naruto. "So we're a couple now then I guess?" she said. Naruto nodded. "However, as a couple there is something I want to share with the guild. I don't want them to realize who…we are after the Matatabi fights you." Erza smiled and nodded. Even though that comment should have ruined the moment between them it didn't, and the two leaned in slowly.

That night the two shared their first kiss as a couple.

The next day, as the guild was preparing to leave Sasuke glared at Naruto. "You really think they're ready?"

Naruto sighed. "They'll have to learn sometime. Besides, since Erza and I are dating now I really don't want them to not know the dangers she put herself in. She already knows and will train to protect herself, I even promised I'd help her, but have to tell the guild so they too can train."

Sasuke sighed. "I trust you on this one Naruto." Naruto nodded a smile on his face. "Hey, old man." Makarov turned and looked at him. "What?"

Naruto took a deep breathe and walked in front of the entire guild catching their attention. Sasuke followed, before he stood next to him.

"We have something to tell you guys."

The guilds yes were wide as they completed their tale, each sharing it from their own perspective. However, while the guild was very trusting, many were in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, Sasuke. You two…your claims are outrageous." Makarov said.

Naruto sighed. "I thought you would say that. But master, it explains the magic you felt when we were in Fairy Tail, Kurama's magic. How it was even vaster than my own. It explains the power surge you felt all that time ago. It explains the Ghost Brothers incident, and why you've never seen the creatures that Matatabi created with her chakra. It explains the Sharingans reasons for never belonging to anyone else in history."

Makarov nodded. "That it does, I cannot deny. However, there is another way to check. I have a spell that lets me go through a person's past. I will go through each of yours and see if what you are saying is true."

Makarov walked up to them and put one hand on each of their heads before his hands and their bodies were covered in a green aura. His eyes widened as he saw Naruto's most recent memory.

"Well, well, well, Naruto, Erza," he said, giggling. Both blushed at the notion, which got the rest of the guild suspicious.

A few minutes later Makarov let go of their heads, a frown on his face. "You poor boys…I'm sorry for your loses. And Sasuke, before you say anything I don't blame you. Anyone here would have done the same."

"Master," Cana called out. While she believed her friends she saw some guild mages were looking at them with disbelieving eyes. They were beginning to dislike them, as they thought them liars.

Makarov turned and faced the guild, his face serious. "What they say is true. They truly endured all those events. I even got an up-close and personal look at the Kyuubi-"

"Kurama," Naruto cut in.

Makarov nodded. "Kurama. Also, I think Naruto and Erza have something to announce."

Both teens blushed as Erza walked over. Naruto put his hand out and Erza took it. "Erza and I are dating."

The guild paused before they started yelling and cheering. Mira sighed, her eyes warm. She then walked up to Erza, a smile on her face. "Finally." Erza rolled her eyes, before she decided to tease her back. "Now I'm just waiting for you and Sasuke," she said. Mira's eyes widened before she narrowed them, annoyance on her face. Erza laughed at her.

"Let's move out," Naruto called, leading the way to the arena.

The referee smiled as every competitor went up to their own personal watching area. He then looked at Shin and Naruto. He smiled. "Round two of bracket A: Match one: Naruto Uzumaki versus Shin Seijin. Begin!"

Shin had spiky black hair and black eyes. He had a lean body figure and was above average in height. He wore a black trenchcoat. He had on snug black pants and black finger-less gloves.

Naruto smirked at him. "You ready." Shin nodded.

The two boys were then coated in a golden aura before they shot into the air.


Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. This chapter was a plot chapter, although it was rather short. I have a plan for this. This is because when I said Shin and Naruto's fight being a chapter long, I meant it. Also, I finally found the person who gave me the tournament idea, or at least for it to be in a tournament form, it took me ages to find him thanks to the loads of PMs I have...sigh. Anyways, it's millineal. Sorry for not giving you credit earlier I just could not find it. Anyways, as some of you know Shin as created by Jason-sama. Also, NaZa is finally a thing, please stop sending requests about it. That was like HALF of the PMs. I'm not mad...it was just a tad, read exceedingly, excessive. Now you just have to wait for Sasuke and Mira. Along with Nali. Also, many of you probably realized that I didn't give Gray, Lucy, or Happy time in this chapter. I don't have a reason for it, I just didn't. In the next arc they'll be more focused on. Also, for a person like me who likes to focus on the major characters and build them up while slowly focusing on minor characters, a big cast like Fairy Tail is a challenging write to pay attention to every character. Especially in AU/OC arcs. Also, for anyone who was knows about my project FT story, I want you to know I am delaying it until I finish this story. Honestly though that won't be too long. I'm going through the entire story with a twist after a certain arc that will end it. Anyways, go vote on my pole if you haven't, review, favorite, follow, all that jazz. See you guys later and avoid the Earl.
