Story Start!
'This... excitement rushing through my veins!' Naruto thought as he held up a shaking hand in front of his grinning face. He and Wendy were both standing just outside the Fairy Tail guild itself, which was much fancier than their cat shaped shack, and Naruto couldn't help but feel his primal excitement from the thought of so many powerful people being gathered in one place. Wendy looked at him in worry, mistaking his excitement for fear before her eyes widened when she saw his eyes. Gone were the round pupils of a human, and now they were replaced by the slit pupils of a tiger.
She rubbed her eyes, before she looked at him again and saw that his eyes were back to normal. She quickly wrote it off as a trick of the light, because there was no way that Naruto was that much like a tiger. Sure, he had cat-like whisker birthmarks on his cheeks, and he was powerful like a tiger but he couldn't be turning into a tiger. Then again, she had the body of a Sky Dragon, so it was completely possible for Naruto to be getting the body of a tiger. He naturally had increased canines like she did... but that was actually before the tiger thing, so she didn't count that.
'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.' Wendy thought when her 'Naruto is about to do something stupid' radar went off in her head. Of course, this radar went off at least once a day and she still rarely ever did anything to stop it. She would just let Naruto be Naruto, no matter how stupid he was going to act in the process. Like how he was lifting his legs to kick the doors of Fairy Tail open.
"KNOCK KNOCK!" Naruto shouted, before before he could kick the doors they shot open and smacked him dead in the face. The person who opened the door was a short man with a strange orange and blue hat, and his face showed his age easily. Wendy's eyes widened in shock when she saw Naruto fall backwards for a moment with a bloody nose. Naruto wiped the blood from his nose and looked at the old man.
"What can I do for you child?" The old man asked kindly, and Naruto twitched at the kindness for a moment.
"Is Erza here right now?" Naruto asked with a sigh, knowing that his epic entrance was completely ruined by this old man with the massive magic reserves. This MUST be the guild master of Fairy Tail that Roubaul had once spoken of. Makarov was his name if Naruto remembered it right. His memory was a bit foggy on stuff like remembering people's names.
"Sure she is, why don't you two come on in." Makarov offered, and Wendy followed Naruto as he followed the guild master of Fairy Tail with confidence in his step. Naruto grinned when he looked around the guild to see everyone chatting with each other and laughing. Wendy ran over to the bar when she saw Mirajane, and Naruto chuckled lightly when he saw Wendy acting like a fangirl over her. He had to admit that she was very pretty in person as well. The white haired girl seemed to be happy to talk with Wendy, and sign her magazine.
Naruto's keen eyes roamed the guild, before he spotted red haired that was a deep scarlet. A scarlet that he had only ever seen on Erza SCARLET... he just now got that. Erza was currently sitting at a table eating some kind of cake, talking to the girl he had helped once named Lucy... a guy in his underwear, and a pick haired guy with a blue cat eating a fish.
"Erza!" Naruto shouted happily as he ran over to the scarlet haired young woman, and she turned her head to yell at the person interupting her before her face lit up in recognition when she saw that it was Naruto. Lucy;s face lit up as well when she saw those familiar clothes, and the shackles around his wrists.
"Uzumaki-kun/Naruto-kun?" Erza and Lucy said in sync, before they looked at each other with a raised eyebrow in Erza's face and a dropped jaw of shock in Lucy's case. Naruto grinned and went up to the table, before the mostly nude man at the table looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"Who is the kid Erza?" The mostly naked man said, before Naruto's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"Where are your clothes stripper?!" Was Naruto's snarky question, and he smiled when he heard the man shout in shock before running around to find his clothes. The pink haired boy laughed like crazy as he pointed at the panicking man, and Naruto's eyes narrowed when he realized this was the guy that had blown him off on his first mission.
"Uzumaki-kun, what are you doing here at Fairy Tail?" Erza asked seriously, and the pink haired boy looked at Erza with a confused look. Lucy seemed to be confused as to how Erza knew Naruto as well, and Erza noticed this. "Uzumaki-kun and I met a few weeks ago when I went on the mission to slay that monster. He helped me on that mission, and we defeated the monster together." Erza explained, and Lucy looked at Naruto in shock.
"I thought you could only use flight as your magic!?" Lucy shouted in shock, and Naruto reeled slightly from her yell. While not like his Battle Cry, she had a damn set of lungs on her. His ears were ringing from the surprise yell.
"Yeah, and I still only use that as my magic at this point. I have really high strength and speed to defeat things." Naruto said with a grin, and Erza nodded in agreement. Naruto was just as fast as her using her base armor and magic, while he himself didn't use magic. That alone meant he had potential borderlining insane quality and quantity. He was a true talent that had yet to be explored. Naruto felt something poke him in the face, and he looked down to see the blue bipedial cat holding a fish out to him.
"You look and smell like a cat... are you a cat in disguise? Do you want a fish?" The cat asked, and the pink haired boy looked at Naruto with a questioning expression. The cat just held a small fish out to him, as if expecting him to take it
"He's human Happy, and humans don't eat raw fish!" Lucy said in annoyance at Happy's behaviour, before her jaw dropped in shock when Naruto took the fish from the cat and tossed it into his mouth. Either since coming here and absorbing that white cat, he has had a strange craving for fish. Training with tigers has just made him more accepting of eating fish raw. "He ate it!?" Lucy shouted in shock.
"So why are you here Uzumaki-kun?" Erza asked again as the black haired stripper from earlier came back with his clothes back on.
"Erza Scarlet! I want to fight you!" Naruto declared to the surprised red head, and the black haired boy chuckled at Naruto while the pink haired one laughed like crazy. Lucy seemed to get annoyed with how they were laughing at him, and sent them both looks.
"Natsu! Gray! Be nice!" Lucy said, and the one named Gray just pointed at Naruto.
"Oh come on, this kid thinks he can take on Erza! That is funny!" Gray said, before Natsu nodded his head quickly in agreement. They were both shocked when Erza stood up from the table and looked down at Naruto with a smile.
"I accept your challenge Uzumaki-kun, but I don't know how to hold back so prepare yourself." Erza said kindly, much to the shock of everybody in hearing range. Normally Erza didn't accept challenges to fights unless it was with a person that was strong, or had the potential to be very strong.
"Good luck in the afterlife." Natsu said, but Naruto ignored him in favor of looking Erza directly in the eyes with a deep passion. Naruto popped his knuckles, and was about to start the fight before Erza held her hand up to stop him from going further.
"Not here, we need to take this somewhere there won't be collateral damage." Erza said, and Naruto actually pouted for a brief moment. Happy flew around the room and started to yell at the top of his lungs.
"Erza and Cat man are about to fight!"
That seemed to get everyone's attention as they looked to see Naruto standing in front of Erza, and people immediantly started to laugh and make comments about how badly he was going to lose.
"Erza, he is just a kid... are you sure that this is a good idea?" Lucy asked Erza with worry for Naruto in her voice, and Erza just nodded to her question. She herself wanted to see how strong Naruto was, because a talent like Naruto only came once in a generation. He was much stronger than she was at his age just by physical strength alone. She wanted to see how far his internal strength went as well, and his skills in the art of combat.
"I feel sorry for you kid." Gray said with a hand on Naruto's shoulder, and Naruto would have told him to stuff it if it wasn't for the fact that Gray was naked again. That was why Naruto's responce was to punch Gray in the chin hard enough to send him flying into the ceiling, and creating a hole in it.
"If you are going to strip... don't touch me." Naruto said while Gray fell from the hole, and onto the floor with a bruised chin. Gray looked down at his clothes, only to see he was wearing none and jumped up to go find them.
"Hahahaha! He nailed you stripper!" Natsu shouted as he pointed at Gray searching for his clothes, and the naked man glared at Natsu and was about to rush him before Erza glared at the two of them.
"Natsu, behave yourself! Gray, don't strip around guests!" Erza said with full authority, and Naruto tilted his head in confusion when Natsu and Gray linked arms and started to do a strange friendship dance in fear of Erza. Erza looked at Naruto before she bowed her head slightly with an ashamed look on her face. "Please forgive me for my guildmates rowdy behavior?" Erza asked of him, and he just scratched his head awkwardly.
"It's fine, there isn't anything wrong with having a little fun." Naruto said before Erza got in his face with a strange look on her own.
"No! It is very disrespectful to conduct themselves like that in the presence of a guest! For that I beg that you forgive their actions!" Erza said even louder than before, and she was nose to nose with Naruto. He leaned back, and she went forwards even more until he was nearly falling over. She was bending over him, and her aura changed to an even creepier one.
"Okay, I forgive them." Naruto said after a moment, and the creepy aura vanished like magic and she returned to the serious Erza from before.
"Very well, it is good to promote a well kept relationship between guilds." Erza stated, and naruto sweat dropped lightly before he remembered something. Running over to Wendy, he saw the bar maid Mirajane smile at him.
"Wendy! I need my box." Naruto said, and Wendy blined before getting his chest out of her bag and handing it too him before going back to talking with Mirajane about how pretty she was, and how long she had been a poster girls for Fairy Tail. Naruto went back over to Erza, before she looked at the box in his hands in curiousity. "I also came to ask you if you knew what these did?" Naruto asked when he opened the box, and Lucy gasped at how beautiful the bands were.
"I have never seen anything like these before in my life, but they seem powerful. Where did you get them?" Erza asked in curiousity, and Naruto pouted to himself. Oh well, it would seem that he would have to go back into the room and ask that voice what these did and how they worked.
"A Magic Rainbird led me to a hole in the ground, where I feel in and fought against a giant silver statue made in the likeness of Susanoo. The I killed the statue, and went into another room where these were awaiting me." Naruto said with a sigh, while he locked the box back up. His grin returned though as he followed Erza out of the guild, with many of the people inside the guild leaving after them to see the fight that was about to go down. Wendy quickly ran and caught up to Naruto to take the box from him so that he could fight at his best. She was already storing up magic so that it would be easier to heal him.
Naruto was going to be fight the Titania of Fairy Tail.
He was going to need a healing when this was over with.
Chapter End.
This happens between when Erza gets arrested, and when Natsu steals the S-class mission. Naruto won't always be hanging around Fairy Tail, unless he needs something like information or wants to fight somebody... or Wendy asks him to go. Erza isn't the kind of person to hold back a lot against an opponent, and after racing against him she knows that he can at least hold his own. She wants to test him out just as much as he wants to fight her.
