Sorry I completely forgot to put this on the first chapter! I don't own Spice and Wolf (unfortunately) or Fairy Tail (sad). I'm going to be switching writing styles when I alternate between Holo (it will be more old fashion) and Fairy Tail people ( it will be more fun and silly). R&R! I hope I portray Holo well because I LOVE Spice and Wolf and I want to write lots of stories with Holo in them. Natsu and Gray will have big parts as well of course because I love them. Well, here comes chapter 2!
As the wizards raced through the forest at full speed, they could feel that as they got closer to whatever it was that they were after, the wildlife was getting quieter.
"That's weird" Gray said, he was looking around at the trees, that were full of birds and squirrels a moment ago, were now bare of any animals.
Natsu slowed down to a walk and looked ahead. They had reached the edge of the forest and he could see some wheat in the distance. Must be a farm. "Hey Gray, no magic ok? I think there's a farm up ahead." But I don't smell any people. He thought curiously.
Natsu went into the wheat field first and gasped.
"Natsu, what's wro-!" He stopped and stared. "Shit that's a big wolf!"
The wolf growled, baring its fangs and staring at them with its red eyes. They were unable to move under the wolf's stare. It paralysed them of any movement or thought. The only thing they could process was fear. The wolf prowled further, the earth shaking with every step that it took. Then a voice spoke.
"Who dares disturb my wheat!" The voice was female and it seemed to fill their heads, but the wolf did not move its jaw. It spoke through its mind.
"Answer me!" It yelled as it growled, "Then I will decide if it is worth tearing you apart."
"Hey!" Natsu had gotten free of the wolf's glare first. "We didn't mean to hurt your wheat! We were just having a little practice fight. You know, to keep us in shape!" He yelled up to the wolf.
The wolf stopped growling and stared. "So you are telling me this is simply a misunderstanding?"
"Yes!" screamed Gray, who was now able to move as well, now that the wolf was no longer glaring at him.
The wolf sighed and they watched in amazement as it shrunk down to human size. It was now a young girl with a long reddish-brown tail with a white tip and matching ears that were long and pointed.
"I am sorry for misunderstanding you, just as you should be sorry for the damage you have done to my wheat." The girl was naked. As she extended her hand to shake theirs, they turned away, red faced.
"Sorry!" Gray yelled, too tongue tied to say anything else.
Natsu wasn't as flustered as Gray, but he couldn't bring himself to turn around.
"Now don't be shy." The wolf girl said teasingly. "I am sure that for a couple of handsome men such as yourselves, this would be nothing you have not seen before."
The two wizards were stiff as a board. Locked in place by the beauty and curiosity about the strange wolf girl, yet unable to turn around and face her.
"In order to become more acquainted with each other, we must introduce ourselves. I am Holo."
"Gray." The ice wizard managed to choke out.
"I'm Natsu." Natsu turned around now. He decided he wouldn't look at anything below her eyes. She still had her hand outstretched though, so he took it and shook it. It felt delicate in his calloused fingers.
"Natsu, I would like to ask a favour of you." She looked at him with a teasing smile.
"Yah sure." He responded without hesitation.
She laughed. "You are not very sceptical. That is childishly adorable. Would you be so kind as to head to the nearby village and search the houses for something for me to wear. It appears your friend is shocked by my beauty."
Natsu turned around, and saw that Gray's face resembled something similar to a tomato. He was actually resonating heat, which was something new for Gray.
"Alright wolf. But if I do, you have to answer some questions." He grinned wide at her.
"But of course. I'm curious about you as well." She smiled back.
"Consider it a deal!" He grabbed Gray and dragged him along. "Come on Gray!"
They walked along the overgrown path to where Holo had pointed them. Natsu looked at Gray. "For someone who strips a lot, you sure have a lot of issues with others stripping."
"It's not like I do it on purpose!" He looks down and realizes his shirt was gone. When had that happened?
"You took off your shirt after we left the wheat field." Natsu grinned, reading his mind. "Give yourself another five minutes and I bet you'll lose your pants too!" He laughed.
Gray scowled. Stupid bad habit he thought.
When they arrived, they expected to see people walking around and going about their daily lives, but there was nobody in sight. It looked like a ghost town.
"Woah, kinda spooky huh?" Natsu whispered as he peered into a dusty window. It was completely bare except a few books, knickknacks, and random pieces of clothing scattered on the floor. It looked like someone had left in a hurry and had just thrown what they didn't need all over the floor.
"Guess we know why she said to just grab something." Gray sighed, looking around at the sad sight of the abandoned farm houses. "Let's grab something quickly and get out of here."
"Wait! Gray, look at this!" He picked up a book and showed it to Gray. The title read, The Legend of Holo. The cover was beautifully decorated with a picture of a beautiful girl with wolf ear and a tail standing in a field of wheat.
"It's a book about the wolf-chick" Natsu said, handing the book to Gray. He opened it up and read the first sentence. "The goddess Holo has promised to bring the village of Pasloe rich harvests for many generations."
"Natsu! Wolf-chick is a god!" He shoved the book at Natsu.
"Hey, you're right! That's pretty awesome!" Natsu gasped, amazed at the book.
Typical Natsu Gray thought He doesn't get freaked out by anything.
"I'm taking this with us." Natsu grabbed the book and a sheet. He turned the sheet into a bag and throwing a pair of woman's pant and a shirt that were only miraculously, slightly faded, at Gray. Gray caught them neatly and grabbed a pair of shoes that he guessed would be about her size.
"Ok, let's go." Gray said as he walked out the door, Natsu following on his heels, to wheat field where the wolf goddess waited.
