Disclaimer: First Chapter
Why Naruto has become a Fanalis will be explained later, and not just because you want to know. I will not explain it until I feel like it, and where would the excitement be if I did? Most of you have a lot of fun either trying to figure it out, or thinking about what I will do. Just know that none of you that put your guesses in reviews were right.
Story Start - Next Chapter will be longer

"There they are." Naruto told Morgiana as they saw Hargeon Town closing in on them as they paddled the small boat. A group of three people were visible, and the fact that two blue heads and a red head were visible made Naruto want to turn the boat around right then. Morgiana would agree with him, as long as they went back to the paradise of Earthland she had come to know as her home country.

"You can't really be that scared of them." Morgiana pointed out, which caused Naruto to just stare at her for a moment. He debated if he should use her as a meat shield for the coming conflict, something that most likely would not stop Erza for less than a second. Of course, that less than a second could be used to run away from punishment so maybe it was worth it. It wasn't like Erza would kill Morgiana or anything, just maybe hurt her a little while Naruto ran like hell. She could take a bit of punishment... no, he couldn't do that. His morals wouldn't let him. Sometimes he really hated being a decent person.

"Wendy doesn't scare me one bit, but Erza-sensei is the single most sadistic person I know when it comes to punishing people in unique ways. She also doesn't care about reasons most of the time, just that you did something she didn't like." Naruto explained very carefully as they got slowly closer and closer to the dock, which felt like he was rowing on death row right now. How were you suppose to feel when you were going right into your own punishment, because right now Naruto was close to turning tail and flying away.

"Who is the other blue haired woman?" Morgiana asked, and Naruto narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman Morgiana was talking about. Seeing the curled hair and fur hat Naruto immediantly remembered the other girl as Juvia. Naruto tilted his head and wondered what Juvia was doing here, before he shrugged. The water under the boat shurged forward quickly towards the dock, confirming that Juvia was there controlling the water to bring them back faster. The boat actually jumped out of the water, and Naruto was sent flying right into Juvia's arms.

"Juvia is so happy to see you again Naruto-sama!" Juvia said excitedly, and Naruto was suddenly starting to get wet when Juvia started to turn into water out of her own excitement. Morgiana pulled Naruto out of the water form Juvia, and said blue haired girl looked at Morgiana with an annoyed look. She turned around and started to bite on her own thumb to calm herself down. "Another love rival has appeared, but Juvia will still win." She said to herself, and Morgina face palmed.

*Gong*

"Never scare me like that again Naruto-kun." Erza lectured as she stuck Naruto's head against her armored chest, and Morgiana's cheeks puffed out with withheld laughter at the sight of Naruto's face. Let it be known that Naruto rarely had reason to blush, and having his head cradled against a peprson's chest like this was one of those reasons that a person would blush. Even an armored chest like Erza's was still embarrassing.

"I didn't mean to scare you, but I couldn't turn down the chance to fight another dragon Erza-sensei." Naruto said, before Erza let go of him with a small smile on her face. For a split second Naruto had hope that she had forgotten about punishing him, before the next thing he knew he was holding his head in pain when her fist crashed into the top of his skull.

"That was for showing up late and getting yourself hurt." Erza said, before she leaned down and kissed Naruto's forehead gently much to everyones shock. Wendy had a visibly and comically shocked look, while Juvia immediantly started considering Erza as a love rival. Then Erza picked up Naruto by the sides of his head and slammed her head against his. Stars danced in front of both of their eyes for a second. "Those were for calling me your mother." Erza said with a small smile still, and Naruto stumbled a bit on his feet.

"Is that all?" Naruto asked after a moment, before he was slapped by Wendy. He looked at her holding her hand in pain with a slight grin, before he realized that she had just slapped him. Wendy Marvell had slapped somebody, which was that muc h funnier when the person barely even felt it.

"I thought that I had lost you when you didn't show up." Wendy said as she wiped the tears from her eyes before they even got to fall down her face. These past few weeks in general had been very emotional for her. First the excitement of getting an important mission with Juvia to help get rid of the dark guild Oracion Seis and seeing people from other guilds. Then being forced to fight different people wore down on her nerves, and thanks to her training she had been able to stop herself from being captured. Then after the dark guild had been defeated by the allied light guilds they had been asked by Roubaul to activate Mirvana so that it could be destroyed.

Then the guilds found out that the dark guild had broken into the prison and kidnapped Jellal, who seemed to have been suffering from a major memory loss thanks to a nasty hit to the head he had suffered awhile back finally affecting them. Then after the destruction of Nirvana she had learned that not only had Cait Shelter NEVER existed, but also her guildmates vanished as Roubaul finally let his magic die. That made her very sdad alone, and with that her guild mark faded away.

Thankfully Erza had offered her and Juvia places in Fairy Tail, which had been pretty exciting when she had arrived at the guild again. Then Erza told her that Naruto was finally coming back on a boat, and when they go to see him back he ISN'T there! Then they aren't able to contact him for days after he was late, not knowing where the hell he was. Finally, when they did contact him he told them that he had been hunting a dragon, found Grandeeney, had been in a coma, and was bringing a GIRL back with him.

Yes, he deserved what he just got, but the fact that it hurt her to was annoying.

"Oh, Grandeeney didn't tell me WHY she left, but she did give me this to give to you." Naruto said with a slight smile as he requiped the book and gave it to her. Wendy looked at the book on advanced Sky Dragon Slaying magic, and hugged it to her chest. Her mood both rising and falling at the same time. Happy that she got this book, and sad that she didn't know why Grandeeney left her.

"Naruto-sama is so cool, but please be affectionate with Juvia next?" Juvia requested with a subdued blush on her face, and she couldn't look him in the eye. It was then that she winced slightly when the gold armor caught the light and shined in her eyes. She looked at his armor, before she blinked when she saw the golden battle skirt. She fought off the urge to form water under him to check if he was wearing underwear, knowing that Erza would notice the second she did it. That woman was without a doubt the scariest thing she had ever seen in her life, right next to Titus.

"You have some nice armor on. You look like a prince with that armor and your looks." Erza commented, and Naruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He liked the comment about him basically looking like royalty, but that also meant that people would expect him to either act like a snop or be polite. Neither of those two things would ever be used to describe was Naruto was.

"Thank you." Morgiana was the one to say, since it was the armor of their people that was being complimented as well. The fact she had hand crafted that armor awhile back, so she was filled with pride knowing that her own personal creation looked good.

"I wasn't complimenting you." Erza pointed out with slightly narrowed eyes, and Morgiana looked at the red haired woman in front of her with narrowed eyes as well. Having gotten used to her presence, it was starting to become easier to ignore the fright.

"I made the armor, so you were complimenting my work that a member of my race was wearing." Morgiana stated, and Erza sighed to herself before stopping herself from trying to strangle Naruto's new friend. Wendy and Juvia both looked like they had swallowed a lemon with how this girl had spoken to Erza, and what she had said.

"ANYWAY!" Naruto said loudly to stop any future arguments before they could get going, while Juvia strangely swooned over him taking charge of the situation. He would have wondered why she was blushing, but he was pretty drained. "Can we hold off on my punishment until after I have had a good nights sleep back at Cait Shelter?" Naruto asked, and the three women that knew the truth were awkwardly silent. Naruto started to get worried when nobody said anything.

"Naruto... Cait Shelter isn't a guild anymore." Wendy told him awkwardly, and Erza dragged Juvia away from what was about to happen. This would be a private matter between Wendy and Naruto, and the confused look on Naruto's face showed that this will be turning unpleasant.

"Don't joke around like that Wendy, it isn't funny." Naruto said with a harder look in his eyes, before he looked at her right shoulder where the tattoo for Fairy Tail rested on her skin. Right where her old Cait Shelter mark used to be. Wendy almost jumped when Naruto grabbed her by the arms and pulled her face to face with him. He was now truly worried about what was going on that made Wendy have to leave Cait Shelter.

"I'm not joking Naruto! Cait Shelter was only ever an illusion! Master Roubaul created it, and it vanished when he vanished!" Wendy said as she broke out of his grip and hugged him, with fresh tears escaping her eyes. Morgiana walked away slightly, knowing that some stuff wasn't for her eyes to see. This was a conversation that had nothing to do with her, nor was it meant to be heard by her. The fact that Wendy was crying on Naruto's shoulder wasn't something that she was jealous of. This was something that must be heart breaking to admit.

Naruto let Wendy cry for a few minutes, before she pushed herself off of him and wiped her tears. Naruto, in a moment of realization, took the right shoulder plate off his arm and looked at where his guild mark should be. His eyes widened when Wendy's words were confirmed when his unflawed shoulder, before he closed his eyes and placed the shoulder plate back on. Naruto grit his teeth for a moment when he understood that she was telling the truth.

"Are you okay Wendy?" Naruto asked her with a soft tone, and she hugged him again for comfort. She hadn't truly been able to get over the fact that Cait Shelter was gone. At least with Carla she had a week before Naruto had woken up to mourn, and she had been able to keep the memnory alive by knowing that she still existed somewhere in Naruto. Sure, she never planned on telling Naruto about Carla, but this she had to tell him. He had to know that their home was gone, and it would be cruel to let him find out the hard way.

"Why are you asking me if I'm alright!? You should be more devastated them this!" Wendy pointed out when she realized that Naruto didn't seem sad, and Naruto's eyes softened at her.

"I have already had everything I know ripped away from me before, and I still have you to remember Cait Shelter by." Naruto said softly. There were times when he truly wished he could go back home to Konoha, but he couldn't. Knowing that your home existed somehwere you could never get to, and knowing that it didn't exist were two different things. It was like no matter how much you ran, you would never reach the finish line. At least Wendy knew what happened to Cait Shelter. Even to this day Naruto had no idea what happened to Konoha. That was why Cait Shelter wasn't a big blow to him, because he already knew this pain. He knew how to hide his emotions deep down so that nobody bothered him about them.

That was why he was happy to let Wendy cry into his shoulder, because he wanted to be a pillar of strength for others to depend on. He couldn't let himself show Wendy how he felt, because she needed him.

Crying never got him anywhere before, so he just gave up on crying. He wouldn't stop Wendy from crying though, and as she pressed into his armored chest he sighed and pushed his forehead into the top of her head to give her a feeling of closeness. A person that she could connect to.

"It's all going to be okay Wendy." Naruto said softly, and he was right. All long as he was around he was going to make sure that everything was alright. He couldn't let his friends wallow in dark emotions.

He knew that when Wendy calmed down she was going to help Erza punish him in some way for worrying them, mostly because he was no doubt part of the reason she was like this.

Yet he was okay with that.

Chapter End.
Sorry everyone, I got back into my old love of playing Uberstrike online. Epic shooting game, and pretty fun to play. SOme of you might like to try it. My new account, because I forgot the password to my old one, is named Fanalis-King is case any of you see me on the game. Anyway, next chapter will be longer. Yes, Naruto gets back after Cait Shelter vanishes. Lets face it, if Naruto was there it would have been overkill when you consider that a Wizard Saint Jura, powered up Erza, and Naruto would be able to take the guild out alone.
Please Leave Me Lots Of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
