"Would it help if I said I was sorry?" Naruto asked Wendy as he followed her around the guild, while she walked away from him and refused to speak with him. Was she angry that he forgot about her needing help? No. Was she angry about him goofing off? Slightly. Was she annoyed that he had a race with Erza Scarlet? No. What she was angry about was that Naruto didn't introduce her to Erza! Erza was one of her idols, and she had missed the chance to meet her!
"Somebodies is trouble!" Jason laughed, before he got a face full of foot and was sent through the wall. He landed outside of the guild, and Naruto was pretty sure that one knocked him out. Him crossed his eyes with a grin, before he jumped in front of Wendy with a pout on his face. Using his whisker marks to their full effect he puffed up his cheeks ever so slightly, and let that one stray tears stay at the corner of his eye. Wendy stepped back in shock at the cute appearance, and her resolve wavered.
"Ah young romance!" Roubaul shouted with a great amount of heart, and Wendy blushed with steam coming out of her ears. Her face was completely red, while Naruto took on a thinking face for a moment. If he could never be with Sakura-chan, maybe it was time to move on to a different girl. It didn't have to be Wendy, but somebody. His words did knock the resolve back into her, so Naruto gave up for now and left the guild to go get some training done. He kicked Jason again on the way out of town, before he made his wings a flew towards the forest.
'I wonder what Saber is up to?' Naruto thought to himself as he soared towards the forest, and his eyes roamed the forest bellow in search for his rival. Maybe another duel would be just the thing he needed to get his mind off Wendy being upset with him. Naruto blinked when he heard a loud pitched scream of terror coming from the woods, so soaring down to the forest floor where he heard the scream he saw Saber and with Toothless and Heavy surrounding a girl that had stumbled into their territory. That was somethin only Naruto was allowed to do, or another person they respected.
Saber and the others turned around and looked at him when they heard him touch the ground, while the girl looked at Naruto like he was her savior dressed in white. He must look pretty angelic with his blond hair and white wings to go with his white cloths. That or because his wild appearance he looked like a king of beasts.
"Hold it guys, give her the chance to run away. You can't just kill people anymore. Who are you, and why are you here?" Naruto asked as he looked at the girl... before he realized that she was around Erza's age. Somehwere in her late teens, or early twenties. She was wearing brown exploring clothes, and her large glasses kept her eyes hidden. She did have frizzy brown hair, and on her back was a large bag. She jumped back to her feet, and took a step forward to greet him before the tigers growled at her and she backed away.
"I am Juniper Elfsword, and I came from the council to conduct research of the recent decrease in vulcan population in these parts. The council wants to see if there is any evidence to show the existance of a new breed of predator." Juniper said with a bow, and the tigers crouched down to pounce at her for intruding into their territory of her own free will. Originally they were just going to bite her a little, but this crossed the line!
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and sorry about getting your hopes up, but I train in these woods by killing vulcans... shut up Saber." Naruto said when he heard Saber growl something lowly in comment to what he said. He punched the tiger in the side, and Juniper looked at the 12 year old with wide eyes. Being friends with a tiger was one thing, but punching one was another thing! Maybe she really was in the presence of the King of Beasts! There was no other explaination that made sense as to why easily 6 foot tall tigers would let a 12 year old human punch them! The leader of these tigers was easily 8 feet tall in it's own right, and Naruto just got away with punching it!
"You have been killing the vulcans!" Juniper yelled in shock, and Naruto nodded lazily. This was starting to get boring for him, just standing here doing nothing but talk. He could be taking a nice hot bath, or training... or even going on a lame mission to pass the time. Nope, he was here making sure miss explorer didn't get herself killed insulting his friends/rivals.
"Yeah, and can you please leave before these guys decide to eat you anyway?" Naruto asked awkwardly as he gave Saber a pat of the side to calm him down, and with Saber calming down the other two did as well. Juniper paled very quickly, before she wrote down something on her clipboard and started to run out of the forest as fast as she could. Naruto waited until she was gone, before he turned towards Saber with a grin. "You ready for round ten?" Naruto asked, and his answer was him being forced to dodge a claw strike.
"GrrrrrrAAAAAAAHHH!"
"I thought so." Naruto said as he worked a kink out of his neck, before he and Saber rushed each other with their killing intent blazing. This was how they always fought. Saber would fight alone, while Naruto would never use magic in the fight. Every fight Naruto learned a little bit more about how to fight like a tiger, and in turn the tigers gained more respect for him. The one true way to understand a person, was to clash wills against them!
[Several Hours Later]
"So what do you think I should do about Wendy?" Naruto asked as he layed against Saber's side, both of them covered in slightly bleeding injuried. Saber was licking at on of the injuries on his paw, while Naruto was wrapping up a few cuts on his arm. The two of them fought like they were trying to kill each other, and that was what made it so much fun. Both of them were freaks of their kind. Naruto a naturally superior human, and Saber a strangely more durable than normal tiger that could shrug off stone shattering hits and keep coming for more.
Toothless growled at Naruto, and he blushed lightly and glared at the tiger whose teeth her had personally been the one to knock out of his mouth.
"I am not going to mount Wendy and make her submit to me and be my woman. Things are different for humans than they are for tigers." Naruto said in a deadpan, and the tigers looked surprised at Naruto's statement. As tigers if they wanted a mate, all they had to do was attack her and mount her in a show of dominance. Then once they mated with her, she would submit them them. It was just how tigers rolled. If you could dominate her in either battle or sex, then she was yours. If she was another's mate then you just killed them, and took their mate for yourself.
Heavy narrowed his eyes for a moment as if remembering something, before his eyes lit up and he growled at Naruto lightly.
"Yeah, Wendy is the girls scent that is usually on me." Naruto said with nod, and Saber snorted at him for having woman troubles when he wasn't even in a relationship. He didn't even deal with female tigers unless he was getting some, which was why he could understand why Naruto even bothered with this girl when he wasn't getting laid. It was times like this that these tigers actually forgot that Naruto was human, and not a tiger like them. It just went to show how much they respected him when they stopped seeing him as human, and looked at him like they would a brother tiger.
Naruto was like the much better replacement to the tiger that he killed, and they weren't even made at that fact. They had attacked him with the intent to kill, so he killed one of their own... and now he was one of their own. A tiger in all much body! A proud member of their family!
*Grrrrrrrr*
"Are you ever not hungry?" Naruto asked as he looked at Heavy with a raised eyebrow, and the tiger got up to go hunting. He might not have been the strongest or tallest of the group, but he was the largest around.
Heavy the Hungry.
Toothless the Neck Breaker.
Saber the Powerful.
Naruto the King of Beasts.
"Grrrrr?" Heavy asked as he turned his head to Naruto, and Naruto blinked and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not really hungry right now, but maybe I'll join you some other time." Naruto stated placatingly to the large beast. Heavy turned his head back, and stalked back into the deepest parts of the forest. Naruto felt Saber stand up next to him, before turning around and looking at Naruto face to face. Naruto stood up, and grinned when he realized that Saber was ready for another round. Naruto got into a battle position, before Saber shook his head. "Okay, if you don't want to fight what do you want?" Naruto asked in confusion. Saber was usually the one the most eager to fight against Naruto.
Saber walked over to the trees and growled at something inside the tree, and Naruto ran over to the tree. Looking up into it's branches his eyes widened when he a strange looking bird in the tree. He jumped up to the bird, and it didn't even move away from him. It was rainbow, and it sort of looked like an owl. It was maybe two feet tall or so.
"BRU HOO CAW!" The bird screached loudly, and in shock Naruto fell out of the tree. Toothless caught in on his back, and Naruto jumped back up to the branch and glared at the bird. The bird pecked him in the head once, before flying through the forest onto another branch and looked at him expectantly. Naruto jumped forward a few branches, and it flew away a few branches before looking at him again.
"I think this bird wants me to follow it... sounds like this could be fun." Naruto said with a grin as he jumped forward and started to follow the bird. Naruto never moved to close, and the bird never got to far. The bird broke through the trees, and when Naruto followed it he landed in a clearning he didn't recognize. The bird landed on the ground a few meters from him, before it started to poke at the ground with it's beak. Naruto walked over to it and looked at the ground, and the bird saw his hand touch the ground before snapping at his hand and cutting it deeply.
Naruto hissed and pulled his hand up, before he looked at the spot again. Naruto blinked for a moment when he noticed that this area was covered with stone in the shape of a circle, while the area around it wad covered with grass. The bird pecked the ground again, before looking at Naruto with an expectant look. Naruto looked at it for a second, before he stood on top of the stone circle. He looked at the bird peck the ground with more force, and he closed his eyes for a moment.
'Maybe...' Naruto thought as he raised his foot up into the air, before he stomped on the stone and completely shattered it into pieces. Naruto wobbled before falling into the ink black abyss deep in the pit. The bird looked at the pit Naruto fell down, before it landed on the grass next to the pit and poked at the grass with it's beak. The stone of the pit seemed to seal itself back up, leaving no trace it had been broken.
The bird flew away into the sky, with it's job done.
Saber, Heavy, and Toothless came into the clearing a few second later and ran to the stone that Naruto had falling down. They slammed their paws onto the stone, but nothing happened. They each exchanged worried looks.
They each were wondering one thing.
What had happened to Naruto.
