Story Start!

'I hate being hurt, because this bordem is killing me.' Naruto thought as he layed down in his bed, that Wendy was not leeting him leave. His new treasure box was mocking him across the room by being unopened. Wendy was punishing him my making him heal from the broken bones on his own. All she had healed were the burns that covered his body. The cuts and bruises... and bones were going to have to heal on their own. She wanted him to learn his lesson about challenging giant statues to fights after training with Saber.

He could be using the time he was laying here to be training, or beating up Jason, or training some more, and most important of all throwing rocks at the back of Jason's head and blaming it on somebody else. Even a lame mission would beat staring at the wall like he had for the passed week and a half. As it would seem, his healing factor, while stronger than a the above average human, was still nothing compared to when he had the Kyuubi in him. He was just glad that he could still brag about being a faster natural healer than Wendy. At least he would have some form of amusement when Wendy came in to feed him, with both his arms and hands broken he couldn't exactly do it on his own. He just loved teasing her until she blushed scarlet!

It was just so easy to get under her skin.

Speak of the dragon and she shall arive!

"Hey Wendy!" Naruto said cheerfully, and she looked at him with a gaze of pure surprise. Yesterday when she had seen him he had looked like he had wanted to rip something to pieces. Now he seemed cheerful, which was not overly strange for Naruto, just strange since he was chained to his bed with extra strength chains with strength suppressing enchantments on them thanks to Roubaul.

"Hello Naruto, can I help you with anything?" Wendy asked with a smile, before Naruto was giving the teasing material he needed when a wicked idea came to his head.

"Can you go open that box for me and bring it here, I HAVE to know what I got?" Naruto asked with a grin, so with a skip in her step at the normal request she went over to the box on the floor and bent down to pick it up. Only to shoot up when she heard Naruto whistle at her, and she covered her backside with a crimson blush adroning most of her visible body.

"Don't look at my panties!" Wendy shouted at Naruto with an embarrassed blush, only for her to turn around and see Naruto smirking with his eyes closed. She realized that he had just been messing with her, and hadn't really looked. She blushed a bit more, before picking up the box and bringing it to the bed. Wendy tried to open it, before she blined when she found out it qouldn't budge. Naruto looked at the chest, before he saw a keyhole on the front of it.

"After all that trouble... and it needs a key?" Naruto muttered to himself with a twitching face. Wendy slowly backed away from Naruto as he glared at the box, before she gasped in surpise when a beautiful rainbow colored bird flew through the open window and landed at the edge of Naruto's bed mockingly. It stared at Naruto, before Naruto saw it had the key around it's neck. Wendy was looking at the pretty bird in amazement, before she recognized it from one of the books she had read when she was younger.

"Amazing, this bird was said to be extinct!" Wendy said in excitement, and she was about to try and catch the bird before Naruot took a deep breath. Her jaw dropped when a second later the bird was blown against the wall by Naruto's Battle Cry, and all of it's feathers had been knocked off of it's body. he body of the bird hit the floor, twitched once, and then died. Wendy looked at Naruto in shock, before she noticed his self-satisfied look.

"Wendy, can you please get that key from that damn bird's neck?" Naruto asked nicely, and for the first time she noticed the key. She would ask why Naruto was so violent with the bird later, because frankly she was still in shock that Naruto may have just erased the last Magic Rainbird from existance. She picked the key from around the bird's neck, before she put it in the keyhole and twisted it.

The lid to the chest swung open, and both of their eyes widened when they laid eyes on what was perhaps the most beautiful object they had ever laid eyes on. Inside the box were two silver colored bands, and on the front of each band was the design of some kind of bird with it's wings extended and a tail, but no head. In the center of each bird design was a diamond shaped ruby red gems. On each side of the bands were chains that connected to the bands. -Amol Selseria-

"Yelp, at least I do what I had to get my ass handed to me for." Naruto said as he closed the box without a second thought. He didn't know what these things did, so there was no use in trying them on yet. Maybe he could pay a visit to Erza and see if she knew anything abouyt this, because an armor expert like her was more likely to know what these were.

"I thought you said you won the fight?" Wendy asked when she heard his statement, and Naruto snorted at her curiousity.

"Just because you win a fight, doesn't mean that you didn't get your butt whooped in the process." Naruto explained. Winning a fight didn't mean as much when you got yourself put in bed for two weeks right after. If he needed to be healed after every fight, then he wasn't strong enough. Wendy seemed to have sensed his depressed vibe, and she placed a hand on his bandaged shoulder. Naruto looked at her, before a glint appeared his eye. "Hey Wendy, if you heal me I will fly you anywhere you want to go today." Naruto offered, and Wendy's hands lite up with green energy as she started to heal his body again. He highed in relief as his body was being restored to fighting condition.

"I want you to take me to Fairy Tail please?" Wendy asked when she finished up healing him, and Naruto blinked in surprise. That would actually be helping him out as well, so this would work in his favor as well... he was going to be teasing her for this.

"You want to meet Mirajane and Erza don't you?" Naruto said slyly as he started undoing the bandages on his body, and Wendy looked away with a blush. Naruto briefly wondered how long it would be before he got tired of teasing her. She was such an easy target it was almost unrfair to tease her, or maybe he woul continue to tease her until she snaps. That might be fun as well.

"Ma-maybe." Wendy said after a moment, and Naruto laughed loudly before he grinned at her and flexed his arm.

"Don't worry about it Wendy, because I want to go there as well to fight Erza! So you do whatever you want to when we go there, but Erza is going to be my opponent." Naruto said with a downright feral grin. Erza was powerful, and only by fighting her could he feel like he was growing stronger. Fighting against Saber was a good workout, but they were abouyt equal in skill. It was great to fight a person as your equal, but fighting somebody STRONGER than you was the best! Only then could you go passed you limits, and smask your old strength to pieces to make way for more strength.

"Fi-fight!?" Wendy asked in shock.

"Of course I want to fight strong people. Fighting strong people is great, but you don't like fighting so I don't ask you to fight me. I don't want to hurt you either, so I have to go out of my to look for strong people." Naruto said with a look of utter confidence on his face, and Wendy smiled at him when she heard that he didn't fight her because he didn't want to hurt her... that actually kind of stung at her pride as a Dragon Slayer, but Naruto was stronger than her by far in close conbat. She could beat him in long distance though,mostly because Naruto had zero long distance skills.

"You really love fighting, don't you?" Wendy asked her polar opposite, and Naruto nodded with a smile.

"The stronger I get, the better I can protect those close to me. If I get strong enough, then everyone across the country will know my name and I will get respect." Naruto said with a slightly sad smile at the memory that he could never become the Hokage, or even see his few friends again. He would never get his villages respect now, but at least he could work to prtect his new precious person and gain fame here. Heck, maybe they had something like the Kage here that he could work to achieve.

"Am I close to you?" Wendy asked with a small blush on her face, and Naruto nodded with a grin while he sent her a thumbs up.

"Of course you are! You are my best friend Wendy!" Naruto stated as if it was a pure fact, and Wendy felt both happy and like she should be depressed about that. The words best friend replayed in her mind over and over again, before she shook her head to clear that train of thought.

"You're my best friend too." Wendy said as she rushed out of them room to get some stuff to take with her to Fairy Tail. She wanted to get her magazine sighed by Mirajane, and then meet some of the other famous mages in Fairy Tail. Carla had never agreed with her going far away from Cait Shelter without her, and with Fairy Tails reputation she refused to fly her there. Naruto was a blessing when it came to travel, simply because he didn't care where they went or how dangerous. He trusted her to be strong enough to fight long enough until they got a chance to run away, or win.

She wasn't to happy with the fact Naruto wanted to fight somebody, but she could live with it. It was better than him fighting against the tigers and needing to get healed every single day. That was why when she came back into the room with her stuff she was surprised to already see Naruto standing up in his white clothes, and still with no shoes. She had actually tried to get him to where shoes, but he said he liked to feel the air on his toes. Even back in his country, shoes didn't cover the whoile damn foot. He also liked no shoes, because it made it easier for him to move swiftly around a battle.

His fights with the vulcans were proof of that... speaking of vulcans, he was going to have to go in the forest and kill some of them to remind them who was at the top around here. He couldn't let them think they were more powerful than the moronic beasts of prey they were. Of course, if any vulcan proved that it was worthy of respect then it would get some respect. Naruto didn't care who you were, if you were strong then you got some form of respect. He didn't even have to like you, but he would respect how strong you were.

"Here."

Wendy jumped when a box came flying at her, and she fumbled with it a few times before getting her hold on it. She looked down at Naruto box in surprise that he was taking it, before she placed it inside her bag with a nod.

"Are you ready to go?" Naruto asked as he leaned on the window with his hand extended, and Wendy took his hand with a smile.

"Thank you for doing this." Wendy thanked with genuine emotion, and Naruto justed grinned as his wings appeared. Flying up into the air with Wendy in hand only a single thought crossed his mind.

Off to Fairy Tail!

Chapter End.
Naruto and Wendy's relationship will build slow at first, and at this point Wendy is only in the beginning stages of a crush. Naruto has no romantic feelings for her at this point, but right now he is more ignorant of girls than he will be later... when Erza beats female knowledge into his head. The bands Naruto got do involve lengthening chains, but he won't be wearing them around his wrist. They will go around his ankles to protect them, while something else later on will protect his wrist in place of his shackles. The chains do extend to longer lengths, and these ones are hard to break and self-reparing. They fix themselves if they break.
