AN1: Guys the PM email notifications are NOT working right now. I heard FF took that function down. So, I am replying to everyone ok! You have to check your PM inbox like I do to see response any PMs! (go to your name in top right corner, left bar- Private Messaging-inbox and tada all the messages go through but you won't get emails saying it did! This goes for all my stories! Check your box for PMs and actually read them!
Yeah Yeah I know. Only 1 update per week and its all Six Paths Jinchuuiki! (I am guessing that is what a majority of my readers think). Look I choose what I want to write and if I don't write what I want you guys get NOTHING from me.
Timeline wise the rest of Team Natsu have just gotten back from the Tower of Heaven arc and have settled into the new guildhall. Naruto arrives back roughly about a day or two.
WARNING: Like chapter 5 there is some Mira fan service. She is the most 'forward' of her feelings for Naruto.
In my opinion if Fiore had a 'best girlfriend/most sexy woman' poll I think Mira would win hands down both polls. What do you think? (I am going to add a poll for fun)
A slightly longer chapter to set up the Laxus arc which will likely be chapter after next. (There is still the Harvest Festival and Miss Fairy Tail Contest) (FYI Naruto won't be joining. Just want to point that out in case people were hoping for that) (I know a lot of my original fans came from Reading the Fox Scroll/Fox Scroll)
Just Realized Longest chapter in story! Wooh!
Also PLEASE STOP putting reviews on this story asking for updates on other stories. This applies for all stories. Review on the actual story!
Chapter 31 Mira's Welcome Back Song and Returning Home
Naruto had used the time of his Lightning Dragon Kirin attack to use the Haraishin to teleport back to his home on Magnolia. Nobody had seen his tear-soaked face as he landed on his bed for the first time in several weeks.
"Naruto. Are you going to be the crybaby like when you said goodbye to that bridge brat?" Kurama asked impatiently as Naruto held his arms to his knees sadly.
"Kurama! Naruto-kun obviously feels devasted he has to say goodbye to his students!" Matatabi chided as she looked motherly at Naruto who tears lessened.
"Tch. To think he has the power that rivals our creator yet he is still the boy who couldn't bring himself to kill a defeated ninja." Kurama said in annoyance but the tailed beasts could see him looking away. AN2:
"Shut up Kurama." Naruto retorted after wiping his face of tears and reappearing in his mindscape to glare at his original Tailed Beast. Kurama rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"We should cut Naruto a break. He is a prime example of a human who would never let power get to his head. He still thinks with his heart instead of his pride." Gyuki added as Naruto sent a grin at the 8 tails.
"Naruto do you plan to go back to your guild yet?" Son asked as Naruto thought for a moment.
"Nah. I want it to appear I got back to Magnolia walking instead of teleporting." Naruto said after shaking his head. "Plus, I don't want them to know about the Harashin yet. Natsu would never let me have it and not ask to teleport everywhere instead of using a vehicle." Naruto said in annoyance as the tailed beasts chuckled.
"How about chakra? We know you learned magic so you could a method to help people and appear as a normal wizard but have they not earned your trust yet?" Isobu asked in confusion as he did not understand why Naruto was still hiding the other part of his powers from his guild 'family'.
Naruto looked away and said quietly "Soon.".
"Naruto-kun it is not like before with Jinchuuikis and tailed beasts. I am sure they will still accept you if you told them about your origins." Matatabi insisted knowing it broke Naruto's heart he could not truly be himself unless he was around Mavis and to a lesser degree Makarov.
Naruto glared before wincing. "Its not like before. I am the only one on this planet who can use chakra. It is not something that is a minority or and odidity it's a power only I can use. Maybe my friends will accept me for who I am but what about everyone else?! The Magic Council would see me as a weapon at best or threat at worst!" Naruto yelled as the tailed beasts gave him looks of pity. AN3:
Afterward Naruto decided to sleep in not having any dreams and woke up the next morning fully refreshed.
"Now to pound those idiots for doing something stupid while I was gone." Naruto mumbled as he walked to town luckily without the townspeople rushing him like before.
Naruto soon arrived at the new guild and whistled in appreciation. "Man that new guild makes our old one look like a shed." Naruto complimented as he heard a chuckle from the side.
Naruto turned around to see a light browned hair man who appeared to be close to his age with a very prominent bowl hair cut.
"You got that right Naruto-san." The brown-haired man said as Naruto looked abit confused.
"Sorry have we met before? I am guessing you are a member of Fairy Tail too?" Naruto asked not remembering meeting this man but he seemed to know him by name.
The man looked embarrassed and rubbed his head. "Sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet. The name is Max Alors and I was in the guild when you and Lucy arrived that first day." Max explained extending a hand. AN4:
"No problem. Nice to meet you Max." Naruto greeted shaking his hand with an easy smile. Naruto raised an eyebrow as he realized something. "You voted for Erza during my fight her didn't you." Naruto said flatly as Max rubbed his head and tried to look away.
"Yeah. I gotta admit I was not expecting you to beat Erza. Sorry but she was our S-class wizard and you were a newbie." Max said apologetically as Naruto shrugged his shoulder.
"Like I told Natsu. I don't hold against you guys for doubting me since you have known Erza longer although it did hurt abit Natsu actually thought Master would demote me if I had lost." Naruto said as Max looked guilty and silent.
Naruto and Max walked inside the guild where Max quickly joined a table with Wakaba and Macao as everyone else was quick to notice Naruto's return.
"Guys! Naruto is back!" Cana yelled as everyone started to cheer as Naruto waved but his expression was serious.
Lucy walked up to him abit confused as she asked "Naruto. What's wrong? Are you not happy to be back?". Erza was also next to Lucy with a sling on her arm as everyone looked concerned at Naruto's seriousness.
"I am happy to be back but I heard the guild got into some trouble with the magic council?" Naruto asked as Lucy and Erza looked at each other and furiously shook their heads.
"No! Its nothing like that!" Lucy said nervously as Naruto expression lessened as he raised an eyebrow.
Before Lucy could elaborate Mira bounced towards Naruto with her extremely happy expression. "Naruto-kun welcome back!" Mira announced with a smile that was not present a minute ago.
'What the? Mira-san seems really happy Naruto is back.' Lucy thought suspiciously as she had suspicions that Mira feelings for her teammate where beyond the family like love she showed the rest of the guild.
Naruto turned to Mira with a happy grin as Mira smile seemed even more radiant to the annoyance of certain male members of the guild.
"Mira-chan! Its wonderful to see your beautiful face again! I missed you." Naruto told her cheerfully as Mira giggled.
"Oh, you charmer." Mira teased as Naruto scratched his cheek.
"Sure, when he flirts with her its charming but when I tell her how beautiful she is its creepy." Wakaba said sourly as Max gave him an uncomfortable look.
"Maybe its because you are like almost twice her age? And have a wife and daughter…?" Max suggested abit creeped out at the much older man trying to hit on the much younger model. AN5:
"Love will find a way!" Wakaba whispered hoping nobody besides the people at his people heard him. Unfortunately for him Mira could clearly hear his perverted thoughts.
In a flash Mira disappeared behind him with a dark aura as everyone in the guild shuddered.
"Wakaba? Did you say something?" Mira asked sweetly as her demon magic started to leek out making everyone shudder in terror. Oddly enough Naruto was the only one unaffected and if anything looked confused.
"No! Mira-chan!" Wakaba said nervously. As much as he would love to have Mira as his girlfriend (despite the massive age difference) he could tell she would plummet him to the ground before letting that happen.
Mira gave him a dark look promising pain and suffering before turning around with a sweet smile back at Naruto and who only smiled back at her.
'Mira-Nee is still kinda scary. Although I am still cheering for her and Naruto-Nii! That way eh came become my real brother!' Lissanna thought from the bar. She knew Mira was not quite the little devil she was when they were little kids but she knew Mira only had eyes for Naruto and would plummet other guys for getting too close. People thought Mira was 'easy' being a model but she did it as a hobby but would only let Naruto in her heart. AN6:
'Not sure what happened.' Naruto thought before he turned his attention to Erza much to Mira's ire. "So what happened when I was gone?" Naruto asked Erza who was looking at Mira with a strange look before turning back to Naruto.
"Well..." Erza explained how Jellal had created the R-system using her childhood friends and kidnapped her to use her as the sacrifice to resurrect Zeref. Natsu and the rest of their team went to rescue her only to find it was a trap when Siegran convinced the Magic Council to fire Etherion. The Tower of Heaven instead absorbed the massive amount of Ethernano to turn into the R-system. Natsu had managed to beat Jellal and save her after the rest of the members got away safely.
"I see so you had some exciting days huh." Naruto said although he did give Erza and Lucy a concerned look. He quickly noticed Natsu wasn't there and made a thought. 'Natsu probably at the Etherion crystals to get a power up but since it was made of multiple elements his body shut down to passively release the excess magic from his system.'
'Dammit so Siegran and Jellal were Jellal in two places! That is why his magic felt off and why nether of them seemed to be as strong as they suppose to be. Siegran leeched Jellal full power in half to keep active and steal a seat in the magic council!' Naruto thought sourly with him even angrier when he learned about Ultear. 'That witch! I knew she was a snake but now she will be a dark wizard at best as its public knowledge she betrayed the council.' Naruto realized.
Naruto quickly apologized to his team for now being there but to his surprise they totally understood. "We get it man. We teased you before but we all know a request from the King or Princess can't be refused just like that." Gray said in an understanding tone as Naruto blinked.
"Yeah its all right Naruto. Please none of us expected things to spiral out of control so you are not at fault for doing your own quest." Erza said warmly before Naruto realized something.
"Hey what happened to Loke? Usually he is trying to hit on a girl here by now." Naruto said as he looked around for the orange haired man.
"Oh! Guess what? Loke was a Celestial Spirit! He gave me his Golden Key when he went back to the Celestial Spirit World!" Lucy gloated showing off her new key.
Naruto smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "Congrats Lucy! That's great!" Naruto congratulated her as she grinned at him. "So how many Golden Keys do you have?" Naruto asked knowing the Golden Keys were all unique while silver keys had multiple copies of the same spirit types.
"With Leo's Key I now have 6!" Lucy said proudly as Erza patted her on the shoulder but accidently pushed her to the ground by mistake.
"That's amazing!" Naruto praised before thinking. 'Better not now I gave Yukino-chan a Golden Key as a farewell present.' Naruto thought wisely knowing Lucy would be rather annoyed due to her dream.
"Yup! Some day I will have all the keys!" Lucy declared as Naruto smiled at her.
'Whoops.' Naruto thought nervously.
Naruto then grew protective and looked at Lucy seriously making her abit red at his intensity of his look. "Lucy. I don't care what happens. If your spirits give you a hard time or ask perverted things from you just tell me and I will kick their asses into place." Naruto declared as Lucy grew red and looked away.
"Please don't threaten my spirits." Lucy said quietly but secretly she was rather pleased Naruto had her back despite knowing her spirits meant well.
"Naruto is a real man!" Elfman declared as 'manly' tears starting flowing much to Lissanna ire as the members neared the siblings backed away quietly. AN7:
Makarov than joined in with a smile. "Enough about them Naruto. How was your job?" Makarov asked as the guild leaned in eager to hear about how the guild first job requested by royalty went.
Naruto eyes went sad for a moment which nobody caught before he had a huge grin. "I would say it went splendidly Master. Hisui-Hime even gave me this to give to you." Naruto told Makarov holding the package.
Makarov looked eager as he opened it up to show an early copy of Sorcerer Weekly. Makarov skimmed through and laughed happily. "That is quite a good review my boy."
Makarov showed the rest of the guild the cover which showed Naruto with in classroom with an illusion of dragons behind him. It had words on the cover 5/5 stars rating, Best Class ever! When can Naruto teach again? and We want him back!". Naruto got rather embarrassed when the guild started gossiping especially since Sorcerer Weekly usually portrayed the Guild in a light hearted but negative way but the issue seemed to really highlight how much publicity Naruto class got for the guild.
"Wow Naruto seems really popular for his class." Levy noted as she managed to read through the magazine at rapid speed. The entire issue was basically Princess Hisui giving an interview stating how proud she was on Naruto's teaching methods and efficiency.
Naruto bent down to Makarov level as the master whispered "A couple more issues like this and the bad press my other children give us may be forgotten." Naruto nervously laughed accepting the praise.
As everyone gossiped and congratulated the nervous blonde Mira walked up to him with a smile on her face.
"I am playing a song and would like you to have a front roll seat." Mira declared to Naruto who blinked but grinned.
"If your singing is as good and pretty as your face, I would be a fool to say no." Naruto remarked as Mira smile if anything grew warmer and more sincere.
Erza gave her best friend a look of confusion. "Didn't you sing yesterday when we arrived back in the guild?" AN8:
Mira gave a look of irritation much to the redhead's confusion. "Well I feel I can sing when I feel like it. Is there a problem with anyone else?" Mira asked with coolness. The resounding NO from the guys seemed to prove Mira's point.
However, one black haired man stood up and walked up despite the by haired woman's protests.
"Gajeel-kun Please don't make a fuss." Juvia urged as Gajeel grunted.
Naruto stared at them for a moment as Makarov tried to break the tension. "Naruto, Juvia and Gajeel joined us while you were gone."
Juvia gave a bow while Gajeel just stared and grunted.
"Naruto-san please forgive us for the trouble we caused when we were part of Phantom Lord." Juvia said politely.
Naruto grinned at the newcomers and patted Juvia on the back while gripping Gajeel hand.
"Hey! Let bygones by bygones!" Naruto said cheerfully as the guild let a sigh of relief. "But a fair warning. I am willing to forgive what you did under Jose. If you harm Fairy Tail now we won't be as forgiving." Naruto warned darkly as Juvia stepped back in fear while Gajeel looked abit nervous.
"I promise you we shall be your comrades for now on." Juvia declared as Naruto smiled at her and let go of Gajeel hand.
Gajeel grunted as he looked warily at Naruto. 'What the hell? I turned my hand to iron and his grip still almost broke my hand?' Gajeel thought hiding his hand away.
Mira had snuck away while Naruto started to get to know Juvia better. Unbeknownst to everyone else Gajeel had almost snuck off.
A few more later with Naruto sitting having a front roll table to himself while everyone else was spread out at various tables. The rest of his team were at a table behind him.
The men started cheering as the spotlight zoomed to the curtain before it opened as everyone mouth dropped when Mira came onto the stage sitting cross legged with a mike in front of her and guitar in her arms.
"Mira-san wasn't wearing this before!" Lucy said in awe and jealously. When they got back the day before Mira had sung in a plain red dress that was beautiful but covered her entire body with plan red open toed sandals.
"I have never seen her dressed like this for a song before." Erza admitted as Gray had a blush on his face along with the other men in the guild.
Mira had chosen to wear an incredibly short and tight sleeveless and backless black dress. It only covered the lower half of her remarkable cleavage and the went mid thigh. It had the Fairy Tail symbol on it along with the word "Fairy" across it. She had decided to wear white thigh high stockings that went about an inch lower than her dress ended showing an inch of her thighs. She also decided to wear rather tall heels showing off her perfectly painted blue toe nails. As almost to tease everyone her sitting position did not allow anyone to see up her dress while allowing them to see her tantalizing thighs and hips. Her guild mark was actually visible from this angle on her left thigh.AN9:
All and all every guy in Fairy Tail besides Elfman naively thought she was trying to dress sexy for their sake while the girls had different reactions. Levy blushed with a massive blush and envy as this dress really showed off the top model perfect proportions, Erza had a wide mouth thinking it was unusual for her friend to dress like this for a song. Bisca was glaring at Alazack who was gaping. Cana whistled in appreciation while muttering that Mira seemed to be more popular than herself. Lucy was blushing and trying to think how two years could make such a difference in appearance. Juvia was gaping wondering if somehow Mira was a 'rival for love' for Gray but she was more pleased when Mira was looking at Naruto out the corner of her eyes.
Naruto meanwhile could not keep his eyes off Mira as he took a moment to memorize her figure before he focused on her eyes.
Mira coughed and announced "This song is dedicated for Naruto-kun successful job for the Princess of Fiore!". Loud cheers could be heard while some mutterings "You never sing when I do a good job." Could also be heard.
Mira started to hum and strum her guitar as she started to sing a slow song which the girls thought was a long song. The guys were too focused on the model herself to pay much attention to what she was singing. The cat calling which Mira ignored did not help even pretend they were interested in her singing.
Mira eyes were closed with a smile on her face but she did do quick looks at Naruto who was transfixed on her face much to her amusement.
'Nailed it! Naruto-kun is totally only look at me!' Mira thought happily. 'Although it is rather strange but nice, he is focusing on my face instead of my tits or legs.' Mira mused. She was well aware most of the males and even a good number of females in Fiore thought she was attractive if not the most attractive girl in the country.
She still continued to model to the side mostly as it was easy money and she had nothing to be ashamed of. She rationalized if she went on a job, she would get hit on so why not give the horny guys a magazine to look at while she would not have to deal with guys directly very often.
However, there was one guy she was interested at looking at her and perhaps touching her a certain blonde S-class wizard who could not take his eyes off of her the entire song.
"Mira-chan sure looks happy and pleased right now." Naruto said not realizing Mira could hear him and smiled even more pleased. 'I mean Mira-chan could probably make any outfit look good on her and that outfit is hot. Her face is so serene right now and happy. Maybe she loves singing?' Naruto thought to himself not realizing he was the reason for Mira good mood right now.
A few minutes later the song ended to the annoyance and disappointment of the guild as Mira waved before a puff of smoke surrounded her returning her red casual dress on her.
"Sorry guys but the song is over." Mira teased with a win laughing when they demanded encores.
She swiftly jumped off stage and walked up to Naruto with an expectant look. "So, Naruto-kun did I meet your expectations?" Mira asked with a teasing look.
Naruto could only dumbly nod and said "Well if that my reward for a job well done maybe I should do more hard jobs in the future?" Naruto joked.
Mira smiled and leaned in so her face was next to his ear "Maybe you should?". Mira hot breathe made Naruto shudder as Mira smirked happy about the reaction she got.
The rest of the guild was once again dumbfounded at Mira's attitude as it was well known she was single and refused dates no matter who asked. It almost appeared Mira was flirting but several members denied 'their' Mira was interested in Naruto that way.
Makarov coughed and asked "Mira-chan do you know where Gajeel went? He was here before your song." Juvia and everyone blinked when they realized the Iron Dragon Slayer was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh, Gajeel decided to take a nap backstage." Mira said innocently as she started to remember what happened several minutes ago.
Flashback to backstage
Mira had transformed into her 'outfit' for her song dedicated for Naruto when Gajeel stormed in.
Gajeel grunted for a moment clearly not interested in her outfit. "Model. Its my turn to give a song." Gajeel grunted as Mira raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm interesting. Most guys would die to get an up-close look at me in this outfit." Mira noted with amusement.
"Tchh. My woman would not need to be so big chested for my tastes." Gajeel mumbled as Mira tilted her head. AN10:
"Sorry Gajeel but I want to give a song for Naruto-kun return on a job well done." Mira said with slight apologetic tone.
Gajeel scoffed and crossed his arms. "Yeah right. You just want to give blondie a look at you in a skimpy outfit to seduce him and this song is just an excuse." Gajeel accused as Mira eyes narrowed. "I mean I have been here for a day and I can tell you want him to jump you. Its not my fault that blonde idiot is too stupid to tell." Gajeel claimed not noticing Mira hiss or her aura of darkness appearing behind her.
Gajeel grabbed one of her wrists and had Iron cuffs in his other hand intending to pin the model to the wall to steal the song for himself.
He did not expect Mira other fist to be implanted into his gut as he spat out salvia in pain as he clutched his stomach in pain with both hands. In that moment of weakness Mira sent another punch into his face sending him into the wall knocking him out instantly and him falling onto the fall with a slump. Despite Mira's petite and curvaceous figure, she still had strength to make her S-class.
"You forget I am an S-class Wizard far more powerful than you. Sorry about the bump but you insulted Naruto-kun and my feelings so you deserved it." Mira said as she calmly sat on her stool in position with a sweet smile.
Flashback end
Mira smiled as Juvia sneaked off to drag an unconscious Gajeel.
"Right. I suppose Juvia would you be a dear and drag Gajeel home?" Makarov requested choosing not to pull on this string.
"Of course, Master." Juvia replied dutifully as she dragged Gajeel out of the guild as Makarov turned around to see Naruto just joking around with Mira again.
"Not a dull day with you around huh Naruto?" Makarov mused as he wiped the blood from his nose from Mira's 'song'. He was a pervert despite seeing all of his guild as children. In his opinion it would be a crime to deny his guilds beauties such as Cana, Erza, Lucy and especially Mira.
AN2: Yes Naruto STILL has six paths and tailed beast powers despite not going nuclear in Earthland. Why else do you think he bothered to learn magic? I have to keep pointing this out…
AN3: There I mentioned it in like almost every AN but Naruto finally says in the story why he uses magic instead of chakra. Openly declaring himself a walking nuke that honestly cannot be stopped is not really a smart plan.
AN4: for Max fans honestly, he had such a small role in the manga (which were mostly glossed over in the anime) till the Battle of Fairy Tail where his first big role as the announcer. It only makes sense Naruto was not aware of him being in the guild till this point.
AN5: According the wikia (which uses references from the manga covers) Wakaba is 36 and Mira is 19 during X748 (Lucy first year at Fairy Tail) so its pretty creepy for Mira in canon to get hit on. (Wakaba is Lucy' age difference between him and Mira). Plus Mira in my story will kill anyone besides Naruto who actually tries anything date like with her.
AN6: Basically, Mira's feelings. Naruto is still stunted on feelings for girls but if he was asked "Who would you pick as an ideal Girlfriend" he would pick Mira. Although he would not understand it as a dating question more a survey thing.
AN7: Elfman personality is canon because despite not 'killing' Lissanna like canon he realized he would have to toughen up to control his powers.
AN8: I know in the anime it appeared to be quite different. (Mira song than Gajeel song than fight). In the manga it was Mira song to welcome them home, next day Gajeel song (with a panel showing Mira chained up by Gajeel's Iron Dragon magic. It likely got condensed due to censorship in anime (as Mira chained up and gagged is kinda dark sexual.
AN9: Warned you about fan service. Plus, Mira is basically using the 'song' to flirt with Naruto and gauge his reaction. She is happy he finds her attractive but even more pleased he appreciates her face instead of just her chest.
AN10: Yeah Gajeel and Levy are going to be canon in this story. (I mean in 100 year Quest she is actually pregnant with his kid so yeah plus I like them together).
