Chapter 5: Fairy Tail's God Slayer Saves the Day! The Demon's Love!
Magnolia Town
March 15th, X782
Naruto Age 18
It has been 5 years since Naruto Uzumaki-Dreyar reunited with his family and joined the Fairy Tail Guild. 5 years since he met and started to get to know his generation, and in that time he can say he's grown close to every one of the younger Mages, treating most of them like younger siblings, Grey, Natsu, and Elfman all call him Naruto-niisan, while the others mostly call him Aniki. The only exceptions to that are Mira and Erza, the white haired girl calls him Naruto-kun, while the red-head calls him Oniisan.
Many things have changed in the last 5 years, first and foremost being that Naruto has grown and changed his look a bit. At 18 years old he is now at his full adult height of 6'2, only an inch below Laxus at 6'3, and an inch above his father at 6'1. He now weighs 190lbs and as Mira is prone to drool about, its all muscle.
His outfit now consists of a dark orange tank top with the image of a storm on the front of it, dark blue jeans tucked into black combat boots, over the tank top is a utility vest like the ones his parents wear, except his is grey and he leaves it unzipped. Over all of this is his Grey coat with the black fur lining the collar, and on the back is the triangular formation of his elements, but bellow that is the kanji for "Fairy Tail's God Slayer"(Feari Teiru's Goddo Sureia). The moniker was given to him last January after he went on a mission and demonstrated his use of 2 of his now 4 individual elemental God Slayer Magics.
Thats another thing, In the last few years Naruto has learned another God Slayer Magic, in this case he learned the part of storms Zaroc left out, Ice God Slayer Magic(Kori no Metsujin Maho). Along with learning a new God Slayer element he also learned, Ice(Kori Maho)and Snow Magics(Yuki Maho). He learned his newest God Slayer Magic from a book that Zaroc had given to him the day before he went back to his family.
Over the years Naruto has taken on many jobs, making a great deal of money and now lives in The Fairy Lake Male Dorm, which sits west of the guild and just off of the lake, which he paid to have rebuilt after Natsu destroyed it. He owns the most rooms at 7, so its like a penthouse apartment and it costs him 700,000 Jewels per month. Also another change is that the blonde is now an S-Class Mage of the Guild, making that distinction just after his 16th birthday, tying his father for the record, and being the Last Dreyar to become S-Class, as Laxus had done so in X778 at age 17. However Naruto and Minato's record was shattered 2 years ago when Erza became an S-Class Mage at 15 years old, and she is now known as "Titania".
The only other person to become S-Class in the last 5 years has been Mirajane who achieved the rank this past December. Mira is known as "The Demon" and has teamed with Naruto often, her feeling for him growing more and more as the years have rolled on. The difference now being that whenever she flirts with the blonde, he knows it and he flirts back with her, causing her to blush and stutter alot around him.
Thats not to say there aren't more S-Class Mages in the guild. There are 2 more, however they are in the same generation as Macao and Wakaba. Their names are Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha, the former students of Minato Dreyar. The two men joined Fairy Tail in X779, after leaving their guilds, Quatro Cerberus and Blue Pegasus respectively, so that they could see their teacher once again and fight beside him. They were both S-Class Mages in their own guilds, and so Makarov allowed them to keep that status within Fairy Tail, as Quatro Cerberus and Blue Pegauss are run by his friends and former teammates.
Another thing to change in the last 5 years is that in X779 Makarov excommunicated his eldest son Ivan for crimes against the Guild. This action caused a rift to open up between Laxus and the rest of his family, as the then 18 year old begged the old man to re-instate his father and when he wouldn't he went to his uncle to have him convince the Master to bring back Ivan. However when Minato said he couldn't do that and that Ivan deserved his fate, it enraged the young man and he basically turned his back on his family.
There have been other changes over the years, such as Sakura joining Magnolia Hospital to learn how to be a Doctor and Medical Mage under the tutelage of the head doctor, Minato's 3rd student, Rin Nohara. Ayame Ichiraku coming to Magnolia Town in X780 and opening up another branch of Ichiraku Ramen, which Naruto goes to all the time to eat.
Everyone has changed, gotten older, taller, in the case of most of the girls more womanly, and all have gotten stronger. The guild has continued to be a place of Fun, but over the last couple of years has seen a large rise in popularity and prestige, being named the number 1 guild in all of Fiore. Another thing that has changed is that a couple of months ago Makarov retired as Guild Master and handed the title down to his son, naming Minato Dreyar the 4th Master of Fairy Tail, and Minato once again took up a position as a Wizard Saint in X779. Though the old man is still around, acting as his son's adviser, and when the younger man has to go to regular Guild Master meetings will temporarily take control of the Guild again.
Today we find the Strauss siblings returning to the guild from another successful mission. Over the years each one has changed, Mira who is now 17, stands at 5'2, 5'4 in her heeled boots, with a more womanly figure, and D-cup breasts which are covered by a black halter top, showing off a good deal of cleavage, she also now wears a purple skirt with a white belt, and her usual thigh high heeled boots. Her white hair is still tied up in a ponytail but is now in two layers, with the second layer going down to her shapely rear. Her white Fairy Tail stamp is located on her left thigh.
Elfman Strauss has had the biggest growth of all the younger generation, at 16 years old he now stands at 6'5, his body is heavily muscled and tan, his white hair is longer now and is kept styled upwards in long, wavy spikes. His attire now consists of a dark blue jacket with purplish-blue inners, held closed on the front by a line of large buttons, with similar buttons on the back of the sleeves, the back of his jacket is adorned by large, light kanjis, which read "The greatest" and the jacket itself seems to be worn over a light red shirt, loose pants matching his jacket, held up by a simple belt, and traditional Japanese geta sandals, held in place by bands colored the same as his jacket's inners. His black Fairy Tail Stamp is located on the left side of his neck.
Lisanna Strauss is now 15 years old, her white hair has grown to the nape of her neck and is now in a more messy look. she wears a short, dark red dress with a white collar and bow, upon her arms above her elbows she wears gold rings with a pale pink fabric flowing down from them. She wears tall, black socks along with brown shoes. Also her chest has grown, now a high C-cup, also she has a close relationship with Natsu Dragneel, they are best friends but everyone can tell she feels more then that for the boy, except the boy himself. Her red Fairy Tail Stamp is located on her left arm just below her shoulder.
The three siblings enter the guild with Mira kicking the doors open and telling out, "Mira is Back bitches! Tremble and fear at the awesome power of the strongest woman in Fairy Tail!" Everyone in the guild stares at the 17 year old Take Over Mage blankly, more then used to her behavior, though Macao and Wakaba groan about her being back. Lisanna just shakes her head at her eldest sibling's antics and reprimands her, "Mira-nee, you need to stop being so loud, and watch your language."
The older white-head just scoffs at her baby sisters words and marches up to the bar, where Minato is sitting on a stool having some tea, while Lisanna goes off to find Natsu and Elfman heads off with his head hung low, sad about still being unable to do a Full Body Takeover. She smacks the counter to get the mans attention and when the blonde turns to her she smiles and says "S-Class Job to destroy Dark Guild completed Master Minato! Now point me in the direction of Naruto-kun so I can run my hands along that chiseled body of his!"
The 4th Fairy Tail Master chuckles at the young woman's words and the look on her face when she mentions his son's body. He sips his tea, smiles at her and answers back, "Good work as always Mira-chan. As for my son, you missed him by a day. He left on an S-Class mission to clear out a nest of Wyverns yesterday. Sorry Mira-chan."
This causes the white-haired woman to pout, and stomp off muttering about how unfair life is, and within a few minuets she's taking her frustrations out on her favorite punching bags, Wakaba and Macao. While that is happening Lisanna is in Magnolia Park hanging out with Natsu and the flying blue cat they hatched together 4 years ago, Happy. Happy is a blue cat who stands on only his hind legs, can speak, and uses a Magic called Aera(Era) which allows him to sprout white angelic wings and fly.
After a couple of hours of hanging out with her 2 favorite boys, they're interrupted by Mira and Elfman. The older girl comes up to the two younger Mages, "Lisanna come on, we have another S-class job. This time we're taking out a beast called "The King of Monsters" so it should be challenging." The younger girl is surprised by this and answers back "Another one already Mira-nee? But we just got back from a Job, I was hoping we could take a few days off and rest." The eldest sibling shakes her head at this.
Natsu hops to his feet with fire in his eyes and says, "Hey I got a great Idea! Why don't I come with you? That way you have back up in case something happens, plus it sounds like just the job for me!" Mira however laughs at this before replying, "Yeah right you back up?! I don't think so weakling. We can handle this ourselves." when the pink haired boy goes to retort to this, the middle Strauss sibling places his hand on his shoulder and speaks.
"Don't worry Natsu, I've got my sisters backs. A man has to protect his family with his own two hands, and If I can't protect Nee-chan and Imoto then I can't call myself a man!" Natsu is surprised by the bigger teen's words, but still pouts at not getting to go. Lisanna giggles at her best friend and Secret crush's actions. As the siblings walk off, the youngest white-head turns towards the Dragon Slayer and says "Hey Natsu!" getting his attention, she lifts her right arm in the air with her pointer finger and thumb out showing the symbol of their guild, to which he returns the gesture as she turns and leaves with her siblings.
Meanwhile with Naruto
The blonde can be found walking down a dirt road, heading in the general direction of Magnolia town. Having completed the Wyvern extermination, the town that called for the job gave him their gratitude, the 20,000,000 Jewels reward, and allowed him to take one of the creatures horns. So not being in a hurry to get home he decided he'd just walk and enjoy nature.
He's just strolling down the road, humming a tune and enjoying himself, without a care in the world, when suddenly he feels a buzzing inside his coat. He reaches into the right pocket and takes out a round Lacrima the size of his hand and holds it up, pushing some magic into, and as soon as he does, his fathers face appears in the crystal. He smiles at the man, "Hey Tou-san whats up?"
The older man looks at him with a serious face which causes the smile to drop from his own face, as the 4th Master replies "Naruto where are you right now?" the S-Class Mage looks around and answers, "on the road about 15 miles from Shirotsume Town. I finished off the Wyverns this morning and now I'm just taking my time coming back to the guild. Why?" the Wizard Saint nods at this and sighs before replying back, "I need you to do me a Favor son. I might just be getting overly cautious in my old age but better safe then sorry." The younger blonde is confused by this so asks.
"Whats wrong Tou-san? You know whatever you need me to do I'll do it." Minato nods to his son and proceeds to explain, "Well a couple of hours ago Mira-chan, Elfman-kun, and Lisanna-chan came back from their S-Class Dark Guild destruction Mission. However when Mira found out you weren't here she got slightly angry. Well she decided to take another S-Class mission right away, the one she took was one that has been sitting around for a while, the mission to take out "The King Of Monsters" The Beast."
At the mention of the job that Mira took, Naruto instantly reacts, knowing all about that job, having thought of taking it himself soon. "How could you let her take that job Tou-san?! You should know how many Mages have been killed by The Beast! " The older blonde scowls at his only son before responding, "I know that Naruto! Thats why I've contacted you, I trust Mira-chan to handle it, but I get a feeling something may go wrong so I want you to head towards Akane Resort, and keep watch, if anything does happen step in. Otherwise stay out of sight and leave it to Mira-chan and her siblings."
The blonde nods his head as he cuts off the transmission, places the Lacrima back into his coat pocket and turns in the direction of Akane Resort, summoning wind magic under his feet and rockets off into the sky. The blonde would barely arrive in time to stop a tragedy from occurring.
Back With The Strauss Siblings
The three white haired teens reached their destination and immediately went to the Mayor to let him know they were there and they would take care of The Beast. The man thanked them and told them where the monster could be found, and then warned them to be careful as he didn't want to see anymore young Mages killed. Mira told him not to sweat it as when it comes to the hierarchy of monsters "The Demon" beats The Beast every time.
The three stalk out into the forest at the foot of the mountain where the monster makes its home and begins to search for it. After a little while The Beast finds them, when they get a look at it they see that its huge, standing at least 12 feet tall, heavily muscled, covered in thick red fur along the back and arms, and green skin at the neck and abdominal muscles, pointed ears, sharp elongated canines, Horns on his head and spikes on his shoulders, and large hooves for feet.
The King of Monsters lets out a loud "ROOOOOARRRRRR!" before moving to attack the 3 siblings. All of them scatter, with Lisanna calling out "Animal Soul: Wings!(Animaru Soru: Uingusu)" as her arms turn into large green wings with pink feathers and she takes to the sky. Meanwhile Elfman yells out "Beast Soul: Black Bull!(Bisuto Soru: Kokugyu)" transforming his right arm up to the shoulder into the black arm of an unknown monster, and rushes the Beast, meeting it fist for fist as it tries to attack Mira.
With the beast being held back for the moment by her younger brother, Mira looks up in the sky and yells to her sister "Lisanna stay back and leave the fighting to me and Elfman! Go Back to town and tell the Mayor that this might take a bit longer then we thought!" the younger white haired girl nods her head and responds, "Okay Mira-Nee! Please be safe Nee-chan, Nii-chan!" and takes off back towards the village. With Lisanna gone, and noticing Elfman beginning to lose ground, Mira smirks evilly, and releases her magic.
A large purple magic circle appears underneath her, bathing her in purple light, as her form begins to change and she yells out "Satan Soul!" Her body is covered in flat, square-shaped scale-like parts, which subsequently disappear, revealing her new appearance. Her hair is now wilder and curlier, jutting straight upwards, she now has a zig-zag like marking over her right eye, and a similar one over her right breast.
She is dressed in a dark, skimpy one-piece suit revealing her arms and legs, which is open on the front and the back, exposing most of her belly, wide cleavage and upper back to. Such cloth has lighter-colored edges taking on spiky shapes, and her similarly spiky collar is tied around the neck by a cravat tie.
Her shoulders are tied in some thin belts protruding from her one-piece suit, and her feet are covered by matching, high-heeled thigh-high boots, which are decorated by lighter motifs on their upper parts, taking on the shapes of jagged blades pointing downwards on the front of her legs, and on the lower parts, in correspondence to her ankles and feet.
Her forearms and hands receive noticeable changes, becoming covered in scales and each sprouting a fin-like protrusion on its outer side with metal gauntlets covering the back part of her transformed arms. She also grows a large, stocky tail seemingly made of metal plates or scales, getting smaller and smaller near its end, and large, leathery, bat-like wings. This is the form that is responsible for her moniker "The Demon".
Once her transformation is complete she sees Elfman get knocked away by the Beast, and decides its time for her to get involved. She takes the air and quickly closes the distance between her and the monster and punches it in the face, sending the Beast flying back into the mountain side. The creature is stunned by this, but quickly recovers and rushes the demonic woman, launching a wide punch at her, which she dodges with ease thanks to her smaller size and enhanced speed.
She gets inside its guard and kicks it in the chest, before spinning mid air and landing an axe kick to its left leg, bringing it to one knee, but before she can capitalize on this, she is back handed by the beast and sent tumbling away through the air. Elfman seeing his opportunity to get in a few licks, quickly rushes the Beast, changing his arm along the way and calling out "Beast Arm: Iron Bull!(Tetsugyu)" Transforming his arm into metal, and increasing his punching power.
He scores an uppercut to the monster's chin, sending it straight up into the air. He goes after it and manages to land a couple of solid punches to it's stomach, however the Beast recovers quickly and lands a kick to the large teen, sending him flying through some trees, and giving him more scrapes and bruises.
Mirajane comes back with a vengeance, unleashing a double axe-handle strike upon the Beast's head so powerful it sends it crashing face first into the ground. She then unloads a combo of punches, kicks, and even a Suplex on the monster, all which have mild effect, yet nothing she does will keep it down. Finally she gets a bit tired of the monster and decides she'll resort to magic, and so getting some distance between them, she brings her hands together an begins to charge a ball of dark energy between them.
The Beast stands back up, roaring once again, and makes to charge Mirajane, however the woman finishes charging her attack and throws her hands forward calling out, "Demon Blast!(Akuma Burasuto)" and fires out a large dark purple beam of energy at the monster. It hits and sends the Beast flying through trees and boulders, and causing the monster it's first real wound of the fight, leaving a large gash in its chest.
When it gets up after the attack, Mira curses, but noticing the wound she managed to inflict smirks. The beast roars in pain and rage before charging straight for the white haired take over Mage, however before it reaches her, she raises her hand quickly, causing a black-purple magic seal to appear next to it as she intones "Evil Push!(Aku Pusshu)" which blasts the monster in the opposite direction.
Beginning to feel her stamina slightly drained, the S-Class Mage decides to end it with one last attack. She looks over to see her brother finally up again and yells out, "Elfman! I need you to distract the Beast for a couple of minuets! I'm going to end this thing here and now!" As the only Male Strauss sibling looks up at his elder sister nods his head and replies "ok Nee-san! But make it quick I wont be able to hold him for long!" as he rushes after the Beast.
In the mean time the Demonic woman channels her Magical Power into the space between her hands, forming a dark spherical vortex that begins to absorb all the energy in the surrounding area. As Elfman fights with the Beast, taking quite a few licks, but focusing his strikes on its open wounds from his sister's attacks. After about 2 minuets he begins to get over powered again and screams, "Mira-Nee I can't hold it back any longer! Whatever your gonna do, do it NOW!"
Mira finishes charging her attack, which is now a large black globe between her hands, and yells out, "Elfman Get clear! This next one is going to be Deadly!" the man complies and quickly makes his way to the area behind his sister. The woman smiles devilishly at the Beast and taunts, "Suck on this you monster!" before calling out "Soul Extinction!(Soru Zetsumetsu)" The globe then fires a large black-purple beam that generates a devastating explosion.
When the smoke from the explosion clears, it shows the Beast down and out, still smoking and wafting dark energy. Mirajane breaths heavily, as that last attack took a lot out of her, she lands on the ground and reverts to her regular form. Elfman in the meanwhile walks over to the creature to make sure its done for, and when he touches it, the Beast doesn't even twitch. Mira seeing this wipes her brow and turns towards the village and says, "Come on Elfman-Ototo lets head back and let the village, and let Lisanna know that our job is done here." as she begins to walk off.
However Elfman remains where he is, and thinks to himself, "This thing was strong enough to give Mira-nee a hard time, it's power may come in handy for the Guild down the road, so I should take it over and add it to my beasts. I know that in the past I haven't been able to do Fullbody Takeover, but I'm sure I can, I'm the man of the family and I can't continue to be weaker then my sisters!" So with his mind made up, he summons his magical power and begins a take over of the Beast.
Mira feeling her brothers Magical power turns around and sees what he's doing, seeing the seal under him and the Beast she knows what hes attempting and screams, "No Elfman don't!" however its to late, the beast's body fades away, Elfman's entire form is covered in yellow light, and a moment later, standing where the man stood is now the form of the Beast. Mira takes a step back, before swallowing some spit and asking "Elfman-Ototo? Is it you? Are you in control?"
Beast-Elfman's eyes glow red for a moment before turning into the man's blue, as he takes a look at himself and becomes excited, "I did it Mira-nee! I finally managed a Fullbody Takeover!" The S-Class Mage sighs in relief before shaking her head and replying, "You idiot! You scared me half to death! Now go back to normal and lets get out of here." With that she turns around to start walking again, when she hears her brother grunt in effort, she turns back around to see him gripping his head, and his eyes changing between red and blue, and realizes that the Beast must not be completely suppressed, and is now fighting for control.
Eventually the monster wins out, and with a new body and new Magical Power lets out a large "ROOOOOAAARRRRRR!" and immediately it attacks Mirajane. She manages to trans form her arms into Satan soul form to block, but is still sent flying far away, and her left arm gets cracked in the process. Beast-Elfman goes after the white haired Mage, seeing her as the biggest threat to its existence, when it reaches her, she's transformed fully back into Satan Soul. However rather then actually fight with the Beast, she tries to reach her brother inside and convince him to fight it, and ends up receiving multiple injuries due to that.
Eventually Mira is sitting on the ground, back to normal as her Magical power ran out, her left arm broken, scrapped up and bruised, and staring at the Beast lumbering toward her. Then things go from bad to worse as she hears "Mira-Nee!" and looks up to find her younger sister flying right towards her. When the girl lands she looks over her sister and asks "What happened Mira-nee? Why are you so injured? Where is Elf-Nii?"
Mira begins to panic, and answers back, "Lisanna you have to get out of here right now! Elfman he... He tried a Fullbody Takeover on the Beast, and it failed! That monster is Elfman! Please Lisanna you have to go before he kills you!" the younger white-haired girl is shocked by this, before standing up and saying "Nonsense Mira-nee. Elf-nii-chan is still in there, and I know that if we just remind him who we are then he'll snap out of it." she then turns and walks towards Beast-Elfman, holding her arms out.
As she and the Beast draw closer to each other, the skies begin to darken, and lightning begins to flash, but what no one notices is that its blackish-yellow in color, she begins to speak, "Elf-nii, its me Lisanna, your Imoto. Elf-nii I know your in there and I know you can beat the monster. So come on Elf-nii, stop messing around, and we can go home together, you, me, and Mira-nee, just like always." she smiles at Beast-Elfman, who raises his right arm up, and then swings it down, intent on slapping the girl away.
However before his hand can meet her body, theres a flash of blackish-yellow lightning and the girl vanishes, which causes him to hit air. Mira begins to search for her sister until she hears a deep baritone voice she knows so well from behind her say, "Looks like I made it just in time. Your lucky Tou-san called me Lisanna, otherwise you could have been killed just now." Mira looks behind herself, which Lisanna looks up from the arms holding her, and they both see the whiskered face of Naruto U. Dreyar.
Mira is overjoyed that her sister is alright, and even more so that Naruto saved her life. Lisanna on the other hand is relieved and a little sad and says "Naruto-niisan...Thank you for saving me...But Elf-niisan he was really about to hurt me..." The blonde sets her down, grips her chin lightly and raises her head to look at him, before replying, "Don't be so sad Lisanna-chan, you have to understand your brother is not himself right now, if he were we both know he would NEVER hurt you. So buck up. Your welcome."
The 15 year old smiles at him in thanks, before he walks past Mira and toward Beast-Elfman. As he passes the other S-Class Mage he comments, "Mira-chan, I'll handle things from here. Elfman has been naughty, losing control to the Beast and allowing it to use his body to harm his beautiful sisters. Some punishment is in order I think, but don't worry I wont hurt him to bad... After all he's my Comrade." as he turns to give her a confident and warm smile, which causes her to blush, and feel safe.
The blonde God Slayer quickly rushes the Monstrous Elfman, and using nothing but pure speed closes the distance between them in seconds. The Beast meanwhile raises its fist and as soon as the blonde is in range brings it down upon him to crush him, however it's surprised when the man simply catches the fist bare handed with one hand and doesn't even move a muscle. Naruto however scoffs at this, "Is that the best you got? I know you can hear me in there Elfman, if you allowed yourself to lose control to a monster this weak then you have a long way to go before you can call yourself a man!"
The S-class Mage throws the arm back, gets in his guard and lands a blow to his stomach that caves it in around his fist, bringing Beast-Elfman to his knees. He removes his hand from Beast-Elfman's stomach, and proceeds to grab its horns, and with a bit of effort and a large grunt lifts him off the ground and slams him back first into the earth, cratering it. Beast-Elfman groans at the pain but is still ready to fight, however the blonde God Slayer grabs a nerve cluster in his neck and begins to spark with Yellow lightning, before sending it into the nerves, electrocuting the Beast, causing it to roar in pain, before blacking out.
Naruto cuts the current, and as soon as the Beast is out, it reverts back to Elfman, showing the man busted up pretty good, but nothing that wont heal, and unconscious. The blonde bends down and slings the larger teen over his shoulder, huffing, "Damn Elfman, what have you been eating man? Whatever it is you need to cut back, your getting heavy." He then proceeds to walk back over to the Strauss sisters giving them both a smile.
He extends his hand to Mira and helps her stand up, before addressing both girls, "Alright ladies, lets head down to the Village. Mira-chan you and Elfman can get patched up by the Village doctor, and when this big oaf wakes up we'll head back to the Guild and let Tou-san know what happened." the two white-haired girls nod their heads at him, and the group begins to trek back to the village.
The entire way there, Lisanna and Naruto converse, with the blonde telling the youngest Strauss all about his last S-Class Job. However Mira is silent, as she thinks over how things went to hell, how her brother nearly lost his soul to a monster because she didn't realize how bothered he was by not being able to do a Fullbody Takeover. She thinks how her sister was nearly killed by their possessed brother, and she couldn't do anything to stop it because of how weak she was, and begins to question how she ever made S-Class.
They get to the Village, where Mira and Elfman are given into the care of the local doctor, who verifies that the woman's arm is broken and puts it in a cast, and wraps up the rest of the two's injuries, including Elfman's right eye which will have a scar across it. Naruto lets the Mayor know that the Beast is dead, getting the payment for the mission, and 2 rooms at the inn for the night, sharing a room with the male Strauss, while the two girls share the other.
Later that night finds Mira sitting on the roof of the inn, looking up at the moon in sadness, Lisanna in their room sleeping peacefully. She is so lost in thought that she doesn't even notice her favorite blonde sit next to her, wearing nothing but black pajama bottoms with lightning bolts on them. Its not until he speaks that she realizes he's there, "You know, that look doesn't really suit you Mira-chan. I like the confident, no nonsense, self proclaimed strongest woman in Fairy Tail Mirajane better. You wanna tell me whats wrong and why that sad look is on that gorgeous face of yours?"
The white haired woman sighs sadly, not even reacting to his comment about her looks like she normally would, instead she turns her head to him slightly, and responds, "Its all my fault Naruto... I was so arrogant, I thought that we'd go in, I'd kill the beast with ease, and that would be the end of it. I never thought anything could go wrong... Never imagined my little brother trying to take over the monster because of his drive to prove he's as strong as Lisanna and I.
I should of stopped him, but instead I stood there like an idiot and let him do a Fullbody Takeover, and paid for it. I couldn't hurt the beast for fear of hurting my little brother and ended up injured, and then to make matters worse I nearly lost my baby sister at the hands of said brother. What the hell was I thinking? I don't deserve to be S-Class when I can't even protect myself let alone my siblings." at the end she begins to cry.
Her crying stops momentarily however due to surprise, as the blonde wraps her in a hug and begins to pat her head. The blonde proceeds to say, "Its ok Mira-chan. We all make mistakes, its what makes us human. So you were a bit arrogant, so what? Every S-Class Mage has a bit of arrogance, including me. But none of what happened was your fault, Elfman trying to take over the beat and failing and then almost killing Lisanna, well thats his fault and his alone and I'll be having a talk with him about it later man to man.
Don't ever blame yourself for forces outside your control Mira-chan, because no one can control those not even the Gods. If your upset about how you handled things, then change, become a better sister, and a greater Mage. Learn from your mistakes, thats all you can do as a person." His words hit the girl right in her heart, and instead of responding back, she buries her head in his bare chest and begins to cry even harder.
Eventually Mirajane cries herself to sleep in the blonde's embrace, and when he looks down he sees a tiny smile on her sleeping face and smiles himself. The blonde places the young woman in her bed in her hotel room, then returns to his own and lays down to sleep himself. The next morning he awakes early, showers, and gets dressed, and when he comes out of the bathroom he finds Elfman awake and sitting up in his bed, as the white haired teen looks at him in shock and shame.
The blonde grabs a chair and sets it next to the bed, before taking a seat and crossing his arms and addressing the younger Mage, "We need to have a serious discussion Elfman. What you did last night was stupid, egotistical, and dangerous. You could have killed your sisters." The younger teen looks down in shame and anger, clenching the sheets in his hands before responding, "I know... But you don't understand Naruto-Aniki. You can't possibly know how it feels to watch as your sisters can do Fullbody Takeovers from the very beginning, and yet can't even after training to for years! You have no idea how that makes you feel as a man! To feel so weak!"
CRACK! Suddenly he feels a fist implant itself in his cheek, turning his head and causing him to slide the the left a little bit on his bed. Standing over him with a look of anger and his fist extended is Naruto. He looks down at Elfman before laying into him, "You Moron! Listen to yourself, whining like a child just because you can't do a Fullbody Takeover like your sisters! So what?! You let your pride blind you to what is really important, Family! Because of that pride your sisters nearly died BY YOUR HANDS! Thats not the way a man acts, its the way a child acts, you aren't a man."
The larger teen begins to cry from the one eye that isnt bandaged, as he keeps his head bowed. Naruto sighs, "But you have the chance to make amends Elfman, all you have to do is beg your sisters for their forgiveness and I'm sure they'll give it because they both love you. Also if its that important to you to be able to do a Fullbody Takeover then I'll train with you, and help you accomplish that goal, because after all, thats what comrades are for."
Just then there is a knock on the door and Naruto answers it, and standing there are Strauss girls. He motions for them to come inside, and decides to leave and give the family some privacy. After much talking, apologizing, and crying, the 3 siblings exit the room, ready to head back to the guild, and they find Naruto leaning against the wall next to the door waiting, as the 4 Fairy Tail Mages take their leave.
Magnolia Town
Fairy Tail Guild
March 16th, X782
The 4 Fairy Tail Mages return to the guild that afternoon, reporting to Minato what happened, and the Blonde man is disappointed in Elfman for his foolish decision. However before he can reprimand the 16 year old, Naruto tells him that he already covered it, so he leaves it be and expresses his happiness that they all returned alive and banged up rather then dead. He commends his son on handing the situation spectacularly, and tells him that if he keeps it up he may just become 5th Master of the guild when he decides to retire himself.
The younger blonde just chuckles at this and tells him that day is a long way off considering Minato is only 43 years old, still relatively young. The 4th Master gives all 4 Mages the next 3 weeks off. Naruto decides to head to his favorite restaurant, however before he does, Mira pulls him off to the side to speak to him. He looks at his fellow S-Class Mage and sees something on her face he's never seen, nervousness, so he decides to see whats up, and asks her.
"Whats wrong Mira-chan? Your shaking like a leaf with nervousness, so whats up? Is something wrong?" The 17 year old girl, takes a deep breath before doing something completely unexpected, she smashes her lips to his and begins to kiss him passionately. For a few seconds he's stunned by this, however he quickly gets over it, and begins to kiss her back, wrapping his arms around her waist, as she wraps her good arm around his neck.
After kissing for a full 3 minuets, they separate to get their breath back. Naruto after regaining his breath looks down at the woman in his arms and asks, "What was that for? Not that I didn't enjoy it, but it was so unexpected, in a good way, but..." Mira places her finger to his lips to shut him up before responding, "Shut up Naruto-kun and listen. Everything that happened yesterday, with Elfman trying to Takeover the Beast, and almost losing Lisanna, made me realize that life is way to short to waste. So I wanted to let you know how I feel about you, how I've felt about you for 2 years now... I love you Naruto-kun."
The blonde is shocked by these words, as he tries to process what the White-haired woman just said. He's known for a year now that he himself has fallen for the Take Over Mage, but wasn't sure till just now that she felt the same for him, and so he decides to voice his thoughts. "You love me Mira-chan? If you've loved me for so long, why wait until now to tell me? Why not let me know 2 years ago when you developed these feelings for me?"
Mira steps away from him for a moment and tilts her head back to look up in his eyes as he stands a full foot taller then her, as she responds, "Yes I love you Naruto-kun. The reason I didn't say anything until now is that I didn't know if you would return my feelings, and the thought that you might reject me scared me to death. But now, I don't care if you reject me, I'll hurt for awhile, but its better to put myself out there and be rejected then to hold it inside and never know. I just wanted you to know how I felt before it was to late. So what do you have to say Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looks deep into her eyes, seeing truth, love, fear, and hope. Instead of responding with words to her question, he decides actions speak louder then words, as he grabs her around the waist again and draws her back in, earning a squeak of surprise from her, before he silences it by starting a second passionate kiss between them. Mira is surprised for only a second, before she responds to him and begins to kiss back, leading them to make out for another 3 minuets straight.
When they separate again, Naruto smiles down at her, and chuckles at the look of bliss on her face, before stopping and saying, "I love you to Mira-chan. I've loved you for the last year, but kept it in because I wasn't sure you felt the same. Now that I do, I only have one thing I want to ask you." The white haired woman is blown away at the revelation that her long time crush and secret love feels the same way about her, but she asks, "Whats the Naruto-kun?" the blonde grabs her hands and takes a deep breath before responding with a question of his own. "Mirajane Strauss, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
The white-haired Mage actually squeals at this question, before jumping into the blonde man's arms and responding, "Yes! Yes I'll be your girlfriend Naru-kun!" as she kisses him all over his face while saying this. He chuckles at this and kisses her on the lips again real quick, before setting her on her feet but still holding on to her and saying, "Awesome. Well then how about we go and get something to eat, I'm paying." Mira nods at this as she takes his arm with her good one and the two walk out of the Guild heading for one of the restaurants in town. Not even paying attention to all the rest of the guild smiling and clapping at them FINALLY getting together.
That day brought about a lot of changes, First and foremost, Mira changed quite a bit in her personality, becoming kinder and more loving, especially to her siblings and Naruto, she also made amends with Erza and the two became great friends, her look also changed, she started to wear dresses, and keep her hair down in the back, but tying her bangs up in a little front ponytail.
Lisanna after nearly being killed by her brother, chose to stop taking jobs, and became the Guilds head waitress, barmaid, and started playing a motherly role within the guild. She also began to date Natsu, something which didn't go over well with Elfman at first, but after a chat with his elder sister's boyfriend, let it go.
Elfman himself changed a bit, taking all of Naruto's words to heart, and begging to end all of his sentences with the word man. Even going as far as to tell girls they aren't being very manly, annoying them greatly. Also he decided to take Naruto up on that offer to train, and in the years to come would grow much stronger because of it, yet still never being able to do a Fullbody Takeover.
Everything in the Guild would continue as normal for the next 2 years. It wouldnt be until July of X784 that things in the guild would really get shaken up, and it would all start with a new member joining.
Annd Cut! Well theres chapter 5. As you can see i made Minato the 4th Guild Master, and did so for multiple reasons which will be revealed much later. Also I changed the events of Lisanna's death, having Naruto save her. Lastly I've started Naruto and Mira's relationship. Now next chapter will start cannon, and as i said earlier its going to actually start at Phantom Lord Arc. Anway As always please read and review. Until next time.
