Here is the new chapter. It took some time to update it due to exams.

Thanks to the reviews and suggestions you have given me. Like they say, reviews are the ones that encourage the people who are posting their fics to update them. And also thanks to the ones who are following this fic and have read up until this chapter.

So, let's start!


Sasuke's eye twitching hadn't stopped and Erza's jaw hung slightly as they saw their friends in each other's arms. Naruto breaking apart from the embrace noticed his rival standing at some distance far apart from them. Mirajane also turned towards Sasuke's direction having a surprised expression at finding them present at the scene.

Sasuke expected her to have a slightly annoyed expression on her face when she saw him, but she just smiled at him. He was still cautious though, who wouldn't be after what had happened. She had given him some warning in her style. She then looked in her rival's direction.

To be honest she didn't expect her to be there. She was told by Naruto earlier that he had run here on his own and that they wouldn't be back for another couple of days. She gave her rival a smile as well, not the one she always gives. This was a whole lot genuine.

They both silently walked towards them. Sasuke opened his mouth to say something,

"Wh-what?... when? …How?" he stammered as words failed him.

Though who wouldn't be. If Sakura was in his place as well, she would have had a similar expression since it was Naruto who was kissing a girl. Naruto, the guy who was dense enough that he even forgot about Hinata's confession to him during Pain's incident. The guy who didn't understand the meaning behind the words from princess Shion during his mission.

But it was different with Erza. She had expected this. Since Naruto and Sasuke joined, she noticed her rival, the match maker who never backed down when someone flirted with her, was usually nervous around Naruto. She was, you could say extra nice towards him.

Then the words of Sasuke were in her head. Naruto and Mira had sort of similar pasts …

The whole thing started making sense for her.

'Of course! Now It all makes sense… Naruto leaving early, Mira acting strange around him' she thought as she folded her hands and placed her hand on her chin.

Naruto just patted his friends on their shoulder, gaining their attention, "I'll tell you what happened some other time," he said as he leaned closer to Sasuke, near his ear, "My kiss with you has been over ridden" he whispered and gave out a chuckle when he noticed Sasuke having a dreaded expression, like someone just reminded him of a horrible memory.

"Yo-you… didn't tell anyone right?" Sasuke asked as he glared at Naruto.

Naruto glanced towards Mira, "Hey! It was embarrassing for us both. So, there's no way I am going to tell anyone" he said. Erza just looked confused at the conversation they were having.

"I expect you to tell me what happened later!" Sasuke said walking away from there.

Naruto turned towards his teammate, Erza, "I am sorry Erza-chan! I went away on my own without waiting. I-I ha-"

"It's okay Naruto!" she said, "Whatever your reason was, it turned out well. Though I didn't think that you would make a move like that."

"I was the one who said it first, Erza" Mira said smiling at her rival, "He had actually come to clarify about what had happened in my past"

...(Few moments earlier)

Mirajane had come out of grocery store,

"Mira-chan!" she heard a familiar voice and turned back to see Naruto running towards her.

"N-naruto-kun! What is it?" she asked as she held her grocery bag tightly as she looked down.

Naruto looked around, "Can we go to somewhere alone? This place is a lot crowded and I wanted to ask you something."

Mira looked at him shocked. She felt her heart pounding in her chest, "S-sure!"

They moved to an empty location, on one of the hills located backside of the market. They stood under the Sakura tree, which was on the edge of the hill with ocean spreading out across the hill. The sky looked like it had been scorched as the sun set behind the ocean's horizon.

"Sasuke told me about your past!" he started as she stared at him in shock,

"He told me that you were treated like a monster in your village…" he continued as she gritted her teeth, 'That Sasuke! I told him not to tell anyone'

"You may not know this but I was the same" he said as she looked at him in surprise, she didn't expect that Naruto would be willing to share his past with her.

"I am sorry! I had eves dropped your conversation with the Master. So I know everything regarding your past and that you hail from a different world" she said looking away as she expected him to have a disgusted expression.

"You did, huh? Then you know too, don't you? Earlier, I was hated by everyone in my village. The reason for that was the Kyuubi inside me" he said as he clenched his shirt near his stomach, she looked at him when he continued without having the expression she thought he would have. He looked at her in a way like he understood her.

"The Kyuubi was responsible for the deaths of many people in my village. Then it was sealed inside me as soon as I was born… it was rough dealing with the hatred from the villagers. I never knew the reason for it until I was twelve," he said as she looked at him with a sad expression on her face. She had pretty much heard the same thing, but it was completely different when he was telling you directly.

He then told her how he was scorned in his village, the things he didn't mention to Makarov when he talked with him.

Tears rolled down her cheek. She remembered the day when she left her village to the day she joined Fairy tail, having a lot of hardships as she protected her siblings.

Naruto stopped when he noticed her having tears rolling down her cheek, he moved closer and gave her a hug to comfort her as she cried burying her head in his chest. "I didn't mean for you to cry, I heard that your younger sibling's anniversary was coming soon… I just wanted you to know that no matter what anyone says, I understand you completely. I'll always be there for you" he said as she stopped her crying when she heard his last statement.

She looked up from his embrace, "Y-you mean it? You'll always stay with me," she asked having an innocent expression.

"O-of course!" he replied as he rubbed the back of his head, 'I never noticed it before but she looks a lot pretty when she has that expression'. His cheeks went red when he noticed he was still having her in an embrace.

He looked away scratching his cheek, "But the for-… forever part, I am not sure. As you mentioned earlier, I might have to return to my world sooner or later. Not that I don't want to be with you, it's just that we may part ways…huh? What am I saying? I am sorry, it's my fault for bringing up those memories. So-" Naruto was running out of things to say as he became nervous before she spoke.

"I…" she interrupted, "I-I promise to you that I'll always be watching you. I'll always be there for you too" she said looking at him with an honest expression.

Naruto looked into her eyes, his nerves calmed down for some reason as he stared into her big beautiful eyes, "But I'll have to leave Fairy tail one day. I'll be leaving for sure. I can't let my homeland be destroyed. There are a lot of bad guys out there and my dream is to be the Hokage. So, how can you watch over me alwa-"

"I'll just have to come with you then…" she said as he stared at her surprised, "I'll have to come with you to this Konoha and support you from there,"

"What about Fairy tail? What about your brother?" he asked with an earnest expression. Naruto being Naruto still couldn't understand the meaning behind her words.

"I am sure they will understand when I tell them," she said as she slowly slid her arms across his neck, her fingers running through his spiky blonde hair.

"Why do you want to go so far for me… even leaving your only brother behind?" he asked.

She just closed her eyes and sighed, "I guess you have been surprisingly dumb. It means that I love you, baka!" she said slightly scolding him, "And we could always find a way to meet the others."

Naruto's eyes widened at her proposal, he hugged her form tighter, "Growing up there was always one girl I loved… but she only ever saw another person, but I never gave up on her… even to the point I ignored the feelings of other girls" he said and she became nervous as he spoke because he was yet to give a reply to her feelings, "Mira… I may be dumb but not dumb enough to ignore the feelings of a pure hearted girl. I may be an idiot, but if you are willing to be patient with me, I promise that I'll always be there for you. I'll give you everything I can in return…" he said as Mira was about to burst into tears again.

"…I love you" and with that the take-over mage closed her eyes and kissed him getting on her toes, it being her first kiss and technically Naruto's first as well. It was sloppy and imperfect… and perfect at the same time. Naruto reciprocated the kiss encircling his arms around her waist. They kissed for quite a while before they separated for some air,

"W-wow! I never expected a kiss could be so good" he said.

"I know! And It was my first" she said as she gave him a smile.

Naruto sweated, "I-it was my F-FIRST as well, believe it" he said as she tilted her head in confusion. Then they both noticed some presence and turned back to see their respective rivals witnessing their first kiss.

"Should we tell them about your proposal and you coming back to my world?" Naruto asked in a low voice.

"We'll wait until you have found a way to get home!" she said.

"Well then, Let's go towards them" he said. With that, they slowly walked towards Sasuke and Erza, still holding their hands together.

...(back to present)

"I don't get it, but it is going to be a huge news before Fantasia parade. Come on guys, we need to start preparations for it as well" Erza said walking back towards the guild.

Mira looked towards Naruto having a worried expression, "Do you think we did the right thing not telling them what happened… what we discussed?"

Naruto looked at her and gave a smile, "It is okay. Let them get used to the idea that we are together. We can tell about the whole shifting worlds thing later." He said, "Let's go."

...

...

Back at the guild,

Erza entered the huge door, having a surprised expression, "Is this our guild?"

She was followed by Naruto and Mira, "WOAH! Talk about rebuilding the guild. You guys did an amazing job" he said to the guild members who were present there.

There was a lot of noise coming from the second floor. They noticed they had a third floor as well. As they climbed the stairs, they noticed a huge brawl going on.

Amidst the brawl were the main contenders, Natsu, Grey, Elfman and a surprise candidate, Gajeel Redfox previously of Phantom.

"Gajeel!" Erza said becoming alert as Naruto took a stance as well. Mira just grabbed his arm, "Relax! He has joined Fairy tail. So did Juvia!"

"Yesterday's enemies are today's friends!"

They turned towards the old man smoking his pipe, "MASTER!" they said in unison.

"Old folks like me have to take up responsibility for young men who stray off the path. He is not completely bad you know, just like Sasuke."

"If you say so Master" Erza said relaxing, while Naruto went to talk to Juvia.

Meanwhile Mira went behind the bar and started serving the drinks. Wakaba taking one from her,

"Mira! Why don't we go on a date sometime" he asked just like he always would. He expected the same reply as always, except it was a bit different this time.

"Sure! But you would have to ask your wife's permission and Naruto's first" she said as she gave him the drink and went to serve others.

"What do you mean by Naruto's?" Macao asked as he was seated near Wakaba at the time. The surrounding members became silent as they were interested to listen to the reply as well.

"Why do you need Naruto's permission? it's because we are a couple now and he's my boyfriend, silly" she declared as the whole guild froze in shock and everyone over there had paled. Makarov's jaw hung to the floor when he heard that. The brawl stopped momentarily as well. The whole guild was silent for a split second before,

"When did this happen?"

"Nooo… I wanted to be the one with her"

"We missed our chance with Naruto"

"I think those two would fit together" were the random shouts from the guild members.

Elfman got on the chair and yelled, "As expected of my Sister. She picked a true man worthy to be with her"

"What do you mean they are a couple?" Natsu asked.

Lucy just sighed, "One of the reasons you won't be in one"

"You liiike him" Happy chipped in.

"Shut up cat!"

"I think those two would make a good pair" Gray said as he became half naked.

Naruto and Juvia who were talking beside heard the commotion and went to check what was happening. Everyone crowded Naruto and congratulated him while Juvia ran towards Gray when she saw him half naked.

"What is happening?" he asked as he slipped past them and sat near Erza who was eating her strawberry cake. "They found out about you and Mira. That's the reason for the whole commotion."

"They found out, huh?" Naruto said dejected. He knew this would happen. After all his girlfriend was the number one model in Sorcery's weekly magazine. 'I wonder why is Erza-chan looking a little pissed… must be something related to their rivalry'

Erza was genuinely happy for her friend, but she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Her shot at love was gone as the man she loved became Evil and she had to decide herself to bring him down. Then there were these new feelings surfacing towards the avenger who doesn't even glance towards girls' direction or have a chat with them. The only female people he talks to are the strong ones or have potential to be one. She thought it was impossible for him to have those kinds of feelings and that there was no way he would return her feelings. She just sighed thinking about the last Uchiha as Naruto looked at her confused.

...

...

Outside the guild a few moments later,

Sasuke lay his head against the bark, sitting on a tree branch. He had closed his eyes and was taking a nap before he realized someone approach him and looked down,

A huge muscular figure having blonde hair and a scar on his right eyebrow was underneath the tree. He was wearing a black cloak, wearing a purple shirt and black pant inside.

"Hey weird eyes! Get down here. I need to talk to you" Laxus said as Sasuke stared at him blankly.

"It's my time to relax. So Get lost" he said as he closed his eyes and started napping again.

Laxus became annoyed by Sasuke's attitude but quickly suppressed it, "I know that you are from another world!" he said as he smirked to himself as this had gained Sasuke's attention.

He kept looking at where Sasuke was sitting. As he narrowed his eyes, he observed that Sasuke had vanished completely from his spot. He heard a flutter sound of Sasuke's shirt behind him. Sasuke stood with his back facing against Laxus's back.

"How do you know about that? Did Makarov tell you?" Sasuke questioned.

Laxus laughed, "Makarov? I see you give respect to no one, not even the old man… well you could say I knew your brother"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, 'So you weren't that secretive, huh nii-san?'

"What do you want?" Sasuke questioned.

Laxus went around and faced Sasuke, "I want you to shut your eyes for what's about to happen!"

"You don't want me to interfere. What are you planning to do?" Sasuke asked.

"I just want to play a game… a game for the succession of the tittle of the guild master" he said with a serious look.

"Give me one good reason on why I shouldn't interfere?" Sasuke said as he narrowed his eyes.

Laxus gave out a laugh, "One? I can give you many! I know that you are going blind in your eyes. Are you sure you want to use your Mangekyou against me and risk losing the last remaining sight in your eyes. I can tell you a way for regaining back the light in your eyes. It's the one your brother discovered and that's how he managed to obtain new light for his eyes" he said as Sasuke's eyes widened.

"I also know that you are only helping the guild because your brother was a part of it. I heard about your attack on Fairy tail during Phantom's attack. I thought it was strange for a person to switch from destroying a guild to protecting it in a single day. Of course, I found out the reason. If I tell it to them, they'll stop trusting you. Then it will be a whole lot difficult for you to protect them" he said as Sasuke's eyes flared to life, the sharingan spinning around in his eye.

Some lightning crackled around Laxus's body, "So you brought out the weird eyes, you are going to go blind. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger and then finally let out a sigh and deactivated his sharingan and closed his eyes, "Fine! Have it your way. I wasn't going to be involved anyway as this is an internal conflict in the guild. I decided that I would protect the guild against the external enemies. You want a revolution, be my guest" he said as he vanished from there, leaving a few trails of leaves in the position he was standing before.

Laxus walked away from there, 'How useless… Fairy tail. It isn't the guild I want it to be' he clenched his wrists as veins popped onto them, "This s my limit. FAIRY TAIL! I WILL TAKE IT"


-And cut

I was hinting towards Naruto and Mira pair from last 2-3 chapters. It may seem a bit rushed but spare with me. It is my first fic and I am trying to write this kind of stuff, not the action oriented.

Some of you may find references from other fics.

The two arcs I have written, had the Ft members take out the main villain of that arc whereas Naruto and Sasuke played the support role. It is going to be different from now.

One of the two is going to fight Laxus. I have been hinting it from the start. I am sure you can guess who it is? If you had a few doubts, this chapter should have made it clear.

Read and review.

Until then later!
