AN1: Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 109 was released May 31/22 and YES it does show the canon explanation of what Laxus Dragon Lacrima is. My story and explanation were released like over a year before that so obvious I had no idea. Naruto's teacher will not be that Thunder Dragon King so Laxus and his Lightning Dragon Slayer magic will not be connected to that Dragon King. (Although I will point out that God Serena ALSO has a Lightning dragon Lacrima. Just saying.
Yes I know the AN has born reposted but I know people will claim I intentionally changing canon to make Naruto 'special' hence why I will just repost the top one for awhile (so people can see I am explaining a plot point).
Fairy Tail 100 Year quest 115 was released. It showed that God Serena survived and the last three of his Dragon Lacrima-Diamond(stone), Flash(Light), dark (unnamed) along with his established other 5-Lightning (thunder), Cavern (Earth), Purgatory (Fire), Sea King (Water), Gale (wind).
For context in this story God Serena will have refined organ (heart) of the Lightning Dragon King (like Laxus did have in canon) and scales/bones from the other Dragons. Hence his Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic will be in general more effective then Laxus but less than Naruto's (as Serena will have a refined organ rather then just some leftover scales enchanted.) And just because Serena and Kirin (the 5th dragon slayer) have their magic from the "Lightning Dragon King" does not mean that Naruto own (through first generation) Lightning Dragon Slayer magic is inferior (a dragon does not need to be king to be strong after all).
AN1: Last chapter might be the last time for Selene having appearances for awhile but rest assured I of all people did not forget about her.
AN1: To be honest I had several endings in mind for Naruto fight with the Dorma Anim but I chose a chakra based approach as Naruto chose to use chakra more frequently in Edolas. For people who don't like he is not spamming chakra in Earthland, keep in mind Naruto has real reasons to strongly dislike the Royal army despite ultimately forgiving them. He hasn't met people in Earthland who he dislikes that much. Naruto is DANGEROUS when he uses chakra. He actively uses just enough magic or chakra when he deals with people.
AN1: I will be honest. Do not expect another 30K chapter! I really wanted to finish the entire arc in one chapter as I agree it dragged on for awhile. I just kept writing and writing more it became the monster chapter it was! Give me lots of reviews!
AN1: For people wondering Mystogan gave the same punishments like canon. I just don't see why he wouldn't.
AN1: Bet people won't expecting THAT ending for 61 and Edolas huh? I am sure a lot of people were mad but hey I get to chose to what happens so yeah.
AN1: Also as of this chapter Lisanna is officially going to be part of Naruto's harem! I think I set it up nicely with the Edolas arc where it makes sense (to me) to add her!
There will be some good moments between Mira and Naruto as I feel Naruto hasn't had time with her recently. Plus Lisanna and Naruto might have some moments too (as remember before she thought as him as 'future brother in law')
I am not sure when the next update will be or for which story. Been kinda a dry spell recently.
Chapter 62 Return to Earthland and normalcy
Back in Earthland
There was a ripple in the sky as it appeared to be running. The ripple high in the sky appeared to be similar to the one left behind when the Anima converted Magnolia Town into magic for Edolas. The ripple burst open as a light surged.
Natsu, Wendy, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Happy and Carla were thrown from the ripple as they were sent through the Reverse Anima. The group shouted as they were dumped from the sky and were plummeting to the ground.
"Why are we always falling?!" Lucy shouted in terror and annoyance as she continued to scream.
Wendy screamed before she saw the ground approaching. She gained a look of determination as she put her hands out in front of her towards the ground. With a shout she sent two bursts of Sky Dragon magic towards the ground. The bursts of magic acted like cushions as the group slammed into the cushions but had relatively soft landings even as they piled into the ground.
"Well, that wasn't too bad." Gray noted as he got up pushing Natsu off him much to the Fire Dragon slayer annoyance.
"Yeah, that would have hurt if it wasn't for Wendy-chan quick thinking! Good job Wendy-chan!" Lucy praised as she grinned at the younger girl who blushed.
"It wasn't anything praise worthy… I really wish I could have made it so we could have landed on our feet instead of in a pile." Wendy stated modestly as she played with her hands with a nervous expression.
Natsu, Gray and Lucy grinned down at her while Erza nodded in approval.
"Nonsense. You really improved your reflexes and control. You have my thanks Wendy." Erza told her warmly as Wendy looked up shyly and beamed.
"Hey where's Uzumaki? I don't see him here." Gajeel asked bluntly as he looked around.
The group looked around with the Dragon Slayers sniffing only to have frowns on their faces.
"This rain is washing away everyone scent. We can barely smell our own scents let along Naruto's" Natsu noted in frustration as he smashed his fist against his open palm in annoyance.
The group looked around only for them to cover their face when a particularly strong breeze hit them in the face.
"Haha nice job Wendy-chan. You are getting better activating your Sky Dragon Slayer magic when you are in a pinch." Naruto proud voice could be heard.
The group looked up to see Naruto casually hovering in the air with his arms crossed using Sky Dragon Slayer magic with his tone showing a teasing look.
"Naruto! Thank the Gods! You came home too!" Lucy shouted with joy before she blushed slightly when Naruto grinned at her.
"Yup! I just arrived later then you guys as I was the last bit of magic dragged from Edolas using the Reverse Anima. Now magic has officially gone from Edolas and the reserves increased in Earthland! Although it would be hard pressed to notice any actual change in how magic levels are measured since Earthland has an abundance already." Naruto noted.
Naruto gracefully dropped down slowly as if he was something he did with the greatest of ease. Unlike the rest of the group, he landed with a soft 'plop' on the wet ground.
Natsu and Gajeel gave him dry looks with the slightest amount of jealousy.
"Sheesh. Showing off enough? Mr. I can fly whenever I want?" Gray asked with a dry smile as Naruto shrugged.
"Hey. Wendy-chan was not the only one who could have helped you out. Erza's Heaven Wheel armour can fly too! Sure she would not been able to carry you all once but she could have at least grabbed a few of you at a time and came back in multiple trips to have softer landings!" Naruto pointed out as Erza had a thoughtful expression.
"Huh that is true. I guess I was just used to having my magic limited like in Edolas I didn't think of that." Erza admitted without any shame before she nodded.
Erza quickly gave Naruto a short but quick hug for his advice as Naruto gave her a thumbs up afterwards.
"Lucy could have summoned Aires and her summon a bunch of wool on your impact to the ground too. Honestly since its pretty soft wool but great at absorbing impacts your landing would been quite pleasant." Naruto noted with a wink as Lucy looked away when everyone turned to her.
"Lucy-san you could have done that?" Wendy asked with a curious and polite tone but her eyes showed how invested she was in the answer.
It didn't help that Wendy was clasping her hands together with her face showing an innocent and cute expression that Lucy had to resist squealing and glomping the younger girl in delight.
"….. I haven't really gotten time to try out Aires key much as Naruto passed her to me after his fight with Angel. When someone does criminal actions in our world and is arrested their contracts with Celestial Spirts are voided. Technically if Naruto wanted to, he could have kept Aires and Gemini keys for himself and formed contracts. I haven't gotten to use either of their keys for actual combat yet so I didn't really think of having Aires for defensive purpose." Lucy admitted as she looked at Naruto with a hint of a blush.
Everyone turned to Naruto who shrugged before smiling softly.
"As I told Aires and Gemini when I defeated Angel. I would bring them to someone who truly cared about them like family. It was up to them if they accepted Lucy as their partner. The fact you were able to make contracts with them says all I needed to know if you are worthy or not." Naruto assured Lucy with a grin.
Lucy cheeks burned at the compliment as she rubbed Gemini and Aires key subconsciously which glowed happily for a few moments.
The rest of the group grinned at Lucy as Wendy beamed at her sensei being just as kind as she remembered.
'Should have expected that. Sensei helps everyone he meets no matter if he could benefit or not from the situation. He really is the best!' Wendy thought to herself happily.
"Sounds like you took a risk letting Wendy be the one who cushion our fall. Its not like we can activate flying type magic at any moment like you can." Carla suggested but she secretly was rather impressed but wouldn't say it out loud.
Wendy sighed while the rest of the group looked at Carla with looks of disbelief.
'Is she seriously complaining that Naruto let someone else save us?' The group thought drily.
However, Naruto took that suggestion with a grin not changing his expression if anything he looked amused.
"Don't worry. If anything was going to happen to you guys, I could have used my own Sky Devil or Sky Dragon slayer magic to hold you up like this." Naruto assured the group.
To prove his point Naruto put both hands out and flicked his wrists. Each hand produced a different coloured blue magic. A Darker blue for Sky Devil and a lighter blue for Sky Dragon from his left and right hands respectively. To everyone surprise and amazement the Sky Slayer magics were so strong the 'bubble' of each magic seemed to stop the rain itself. The bubbles made areas were the active rain dry as they held up against the rain and Naruto moved his wrists. The bubbles moved with them as he lifted and pushed down the bubbles. The bubbles mimicked his actions as they gently hovered to the ground before dispersing.
"See? These bubbles would have caught everyone and gently set you down if anything was going to happen." Naruto chirped as he gave them a thumbs up.
"I see…. I guess you had it under control." Carla admitted looking embarrassed as Wendy sighed at her partner's stubborn attitude.
The group were interrupted as they saw dozens if not hundreds of Exceeds flying around.
"What are the Exceeds during here?" Carla demanded as she frowned at the group.
Most of them rubbed their heads in shame and bowed to the group in particular Naruto.
"Please forgive us. Especially you young man. Our behaviour has been shameful." Shagotte said looking at Naruto as she bowed her head and got on her knees.
"Queen Shagotte!" Several of the Exceeds screamed in shock.
Shagotte got up but only drily chuckled. She hardly looked like any sort of royalty with her fur wet like the rest of the Exceeeds and humans getting pelted by rain.
Before anyone else could speak Naruto looked at the rain with a hint of annoyance as he put his hands on his hips.
Sky Dragon Roar!" Naruto shouted as he took a deep breath.
Nearly instantly his lungs were filled with air before he screamed releasing all the magic at once. The Sky Dragon Roar was massive and fast. It zoomed into the sky and collided with the storm clouds.
Everyone had to cover their ears as a sonic boom was heard from the collision as the storm cloud appeared to expand before exploding. The storm clouds vanished along with the rain as the Roar literally destroyed the storm at once.
"There now we can actually hear ourselves!" Naruto stated cheerfully with a grin as if he didn't shock everyone once again.
"He actually 'blew' away the storm…." A white Exceed that suspiciously looked like Happy the Exceed mumbled in disbelief.
While the others were gawking for once Gajeel looked unnerved but not at Naruto. He was looking at the awestruck Wendy from the corner of his eyes.
'Will this shrimp be this powerful in the future? She does have Uzumaki as a teacher and that amount of power I gained from sharing her power actually astounded me before.' Gajeel thought warily.
Happy hovered next to Natsu's ear with a teasing grin.
"You might want to mention to Naruto that you thought Sky Dragon magic 'was wimpy compared to his Lightning Dragon magic.'" Happy remarked putting up air quotes to prove his point.
"Shut up! I never said that… You imagined that Happy." Natsu whispered back in denial but his shifty eyes showed a different story.
Lucy put her cheeks in her hands lightly slapping her herself to prove it wasn't a dream.
"You know what. I think I would believe Naruto if he said he could fire an Ethernion blast out of his mouth at this point." Lucy stated as she sighed but smiled out of the corner of her mouth.
"Indeed. I thought Dragon Slayers where fearsome in Edolas where our magic levels were limited but even here in Earthland his powers astound me." A deep voice remarked from behind the group.
Everyone turned around to see a black Exceed who like all Exceeds were roughly Happy's side. He was standing on two feet his black tail flowing freely from outside his green shorts and notable red eyes.
"Who the heck are you?" Gajeel asked as the black Exceed gave him a look of disbelief.
"Don't you remember me?" The Exceed asked indignant as the group looked at each other and shook their heads.
Naruto took a quick sniff before he adopted a thinking pose.
"Its Pantherlily right? The Royal Guard Exceed?" Naruto asked after a moment.
"Exactly!" Pantherlily confirmed with a nod.
The rest of the group jaw dropped as they looked down at the proud but regular size Exceed.
"So small! Tiny! So Cute!" The group besides Naruto exclaimed at once.
Shagotte chuckled as she pointed at the sky.
"The levels of Ethernano are vastly different then the levels in Edolas. I can only surmise that Pantherlily body was forced to adopt into a form more suited for the environment." Shagotte explained as the group adopted an 'ah' face.
To everyone shock Gajeel looked down at the Exceed who looked up with unflinching eyes. There was a minute of silence as the Exceed and Iron Dragon Slayer seemed to have a mental showdown.
"So, you are still that giant cat who fought on equal levels with me in Edolas?" Gajeel asked gruffly.
"Of course. Despite my reduced size I am no less Pantherlily then before. I believe with enough practice I can temporarily regain my former size as sort of transformation. The Ethernano levels in this world make it seem possible." Pantherlily stated proudly.
Gajeel took another moment starring at the smaller Exceed before he looked at Erza with a serious expression.
"Can he join Fairy Tail?" Gajeel asked with a grunt.
The Exceeds were silent while the Fairy Tail wizards were a bit surprised. Erza took a thinking pose.
'The guild which took care of Prince Jellal? Now that would be interesting.' Pantherlily thought with interest.
Erza nodded figuring if Makarov could forgive Phantom Lord members like Gajeel and Juvia then he surely would forgive Pantherlily for his role in the Edolias events.
Gajeel grinned before he picked up Pantherlily and started to cuddle him rubbing his cheek against Pantherlily's. Pantherlily face was stoic while Wendy and Lucy were wide eyed.
"He is cuddling him?" Lucy asked shocked while Wendy was just blinking several times.
"Hmm I suppose another Exceed in Fairy Tail wouldn't be the worst thing. Might make Gajeel less grumpy to have someone to talk to." Carla whispered while Happy was freaking out thinking that there was a new 'rival' for Carla despite Pantherlily not even talking to Carla yet.
"Only condition is you are my partner now Lily! You are my Exceed, okay?" Gajeel insisted happily as he cuddled Pantherlily who had a flat expression.
"Okay? If that is all I need to do to join Fairy Tail I would consider that a victory." Pantherlily stated neither struggling nor hugging back the excited Iron Dragon Slayer.
After another minute of the groups getting confused at Gajeel's rather odd behaviour he lifted the smaller Pantherlily onto his shoulder. Gajeel then turned to Naruto with a huge grin and pointed his finger index finger at him.
"Haha! I got my cat before you!" Gajeel stated triumphantly as Naruto had a completely flat expression.
"That is why you wanted Pantherlily?!" Everyone except Naruto and Pantherlily screamed in shock.
"I didn't say that, Lily! I am just pointing out that he is the only Dragon Slayer in Fairy Tail who doesn't have an Exceed partner!" Gajeel tried to explain hastily.
"Right…" Pantherily stated with a flat expression.
"Honestly, I don't really see the appeal. I can see why having a best friend who you can have in your arms or shoulders is cool but I don't think being a Dragon Slayer means you need an Exceed." Naruto stated thoughtfully as Natsu and Gajeel glared at him.
Wendy just sighed and dropped her head as Carla frowned up at Naruto.
'Is it the whole flying thing that is the true appeal? I mean I guess if you get motion sickness at the slightest amount of vehicle movement, I could kinda understand it but it still seems odd to me how attached they are to the Exceeds.' Naruto thought to himself.
'Some could your attachment to us abit odd Naruto-kun.' Matatabi pointed out as she pointed to herself and the other tailed beasts.
Naruto mentally shook his head and crossed his arms.
'Nah you aren't my partners or best friends. You are family to me.' Naruto thought seriously with his arms crossed in his mental projection.
The tailed Beasts looked rather pleased although Shukaku tried to cover it up with a mocking smile. Kurama closed his eyes but had the biggest hidden grin with his sharp teeth showing.
The Exceeds then explained about the truth about Carla's so called 'missions' and how it was just lies mixed with Carla's inherit ability to see into the future confusing her memories.
"But why do I have this ability along with you?" Carla asked in confusion.
Queen Shagotte was silent as she was preparing to come up with an excuse or white lie.
"It because you two are mother and daughter." Naruto stated bluntly to everyone shock.
"Nani? Are you serious Sensei?" Wendy asked in excitement as Carla gave an astonished look to Shagotte who looked down.
"How did you figure it out." Shagotte asked after a moment biting her lip.
Naruto hummed as he gestured to sky above.
"Your magic levels have a similar feeling. Ethenano isn't exactly the same between family members as it gets converted based on your soul but yours do have a similar enough feeling I took a guess based on the feeling." Naruto remarked thoughtfully.
"I wasn't sure sure but your reaction confirmed it." Naruto added with a wink as Shagotte looked down not meeting Carla's eyes.
"Mother?" Carla asked in disbelief with notable hope in her eyes.
Wendy was also looking at Shagotte with hope.
"I wasn't going to tell you our relationship. I intended for you to believe your visions were an abnormality that manifested in us by chance not blood." Shagotte admitted after a moment finally looking up.
Carla looked hurt with Wendy frowning.
"Are you ashamed of me or something?" Carla asked sharply crossing her arms as Shagotte looked surprised but shook her head.
"That is not it at all. You are a beautiful gift I could never be ashamed of but I am a mother you should be ashamed of." Shagotte stated much to the Earthland wizards and Carla's shock and disbelief.
"I let the Exceeds think that they were Gods in Edolas to the point most of them truly believed in our so called divinity. I looked away as my visions caused countless suffering. Besides my gift of you and sending the eggs to Earthland to preserve our hopes and dreams my life has been nothing but failure." Shagotte admitted sadly as the Exceeds especially as the older generation ones looked down in shame and regret.
"Mother…" Carla said not knowing what to say to her recently found mother.
Shagotte smiled softly before she gained a look of determination.
"What I can do right now to at least start making up for my mistakes is help the Exceeds find a home in Earthland. This is our home now and we have to find somewhere were we can belong." Shagotte stated as the Exceeds collectively nodded.
"Mother…. I…" Carla was about to ask her to stay but Naruto stepped forward.
"Best of luck to your Exceeds. Don't worry about someone trying to exploit you. Earthland has a bunch of weird animals so talking and flying cats isn't the strangest thing around these parts. Plus, your magic levels are so low that unlike in Edolas nobody is going to try to convert you into Ethernano." Naruto stated cheerfully as he waved to them with a wide grin.
The Exceeds all seemed to turn to stone at Naruto harsh but accurate summary of these species.
"So harsh!" The Fairy Tail wizards chanted as Naruto paid them no mind.
'I mean Naruto isn't wrong but I usually expect someone like Natsu to blurt stuff out like that.' Lucy thought to herself with a sweatdrop.
Natsu and Wendy were comforting Happy and Carla respectively while Gajeel was holding onto a neutral Pantherlily on his shoulder. Gray and Erza looked at each other and shrugged.
After a minute the Exceeds flew into the air and waved goodbye. They flew off into the distance as a group leaving only Happy, Carla and Pantherlily as the Exceeds of Fairy Tail.
The group was about to head back into Magnolia Town and then the Fairy Tail guild hall when surprisingly Lucy stopped with a frown.
"Lucy what's wrong?" Naruto asked with concern as he put a hand to touch her arm.
Lucy briefly looked touched at his concern before she started to scowl and pull away much to his confusion.
"Don't pretend you don't know!" Lucy accused Naruto pointing a finger at him.
"Huh?" Naruto answered in confusion as Lucy crossed her arms over her buxom chest.
"The real thing we need to discuss is what happened with you and Edolas Wendy?!" Lucy demanded pointing at Naruto with her fingers as she looked furious.
Gray and Natsu wisely stood back allowing the annoyed Lucy, the subtly but definitely furious Erza and the pouting Wendy to crowd Naruto. Gajeel seemed to not notice anything as he was talking to the neutral but clearly paying attention to what Gajeel was saying. It was mostly about how great Fairy Tail was although he did imply it was only great AFTER he joined much to Pantherlily confusion.
Happy was trying to charm Carla but she was only paying attention to Naruto with a scowl.
'I don't really care who he kisses or whatever he does in his free time but his bad habits could be passed onto Wendy so he better do some explaining. I will not have Wendy's innocence by ruined by her teacher indirectly teaching her kissing someone doesn't matter!' Carla thought furiously.
Naruto eyes briefly widened before his face turned to a frown.
"What exactly do you need explaining? Edolas Wendy and I kissed. We put our lips together and I put my hands on her waist while her arms were around my neck. I don't know why this needs explaining. It was a simply a kiss. It wasn't like she flashed me or anything." Naruto retorted somewhat defensively.
Lucy blushed but kept her glare up at Naruto as if he said something rather insensitive.
"How can you be so nonchalant about kissing someone out of the blue?!" Lucy demanded crossing her arms over her busty chest.
Naruto had to resist making a joke that it was hard to take Lucy that seriously when her chest was starting to bounce but thought better of it.
"First of all Edolas Wendy kissed me! I did not initiate the kiss or start randomly kissing girls while I was in Edolas. Edolas Wendy kiss me out of nowhere and I leaned into it." Naruto stated feeling a tad annoyed at the third degree.
Erza then gave him a questioning look as her hair covered her artificial right eye leaving just the left one visible but somehow it made her look more intimating. Her hands on her hips showed her disappointment along with her frown.
"Are you saying that the kiss meant nothing? Would you have 'leaned into it' as you call it if any girl tried to kiss you? Or did she have some special meaning in your heart for you to accept her kiss without complaint?" Erza asked dangerously as her hair started to float around as if possessed.
'I am not going to mention how much Erza reminds me of mom right now especially that temper.' Naruto promised himself.
'At least he isn't a complete idiot.' Kurama snickered while the tailed beasts playfully laughed.
"….. Look I am not going to apologize for not pushing her away to prevent her lips from touching mine. Considering both of us were legal adults I really don't see what the issue is." Naruto stated as he clenched his fist.
Wendy looked carefully and small the smallest hint of Lightning and Sky Dragon magic circling behind Naruto but it flickered so quickly only she actually paying attention could see it.
"Sensei…. Be honest. Did that kiss mean anything to you?" Wendy asked quietly as the group looked surprised at how serious Wendy was acting.
Naruto blinked looking down at Wendy who looked at him straight in the eyes.
"….. Honestly, I don't think Edolas Wendy was in love with me or anything. I truly think this was a kiss because she thought she would never see me again and she was just being grateful. It was just a kiss. I am not looking for…." Naruto stated before cutting himself off with a sad expression.
Before anyone could probe him for more information Naruto started to walk away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Gray asked as Naruto stopped but didn't turn around.
"If you want to gossip about my love life or lack of one that's fine. I really don't care at the moment. My priority is making sure our family is safe and sound." Naruto told them firmly.
Naruto then leapt up and in several high jumps managed to start to make his way back to Magnolia vanishing from the forest.
"…" The group was silent for a few seconds looking at the direction Naruto left.
Natsu started to laugh before he started to walk off as well.
"Naruto is right. His love life isn't really something I need to bother him with. Fairy Tail is our real goal and why we even went to Edolas in the first place!" Natsu announced as he raised an arm into the air.
"Hehe we must be doing bad if Natsu is the one who is making the most sense." Gray joked as the group started to walk to Magnolia Town.
Lucy rubbed her head in embarrassment and stuck her tongue out as she closed her eyes.
"I guess we did overact abit. Naruto is single after all so I guess its not like I…. anyone has a claim to him or anything." Lucy admitted catching herself from admitting she was mostly concerned for her own sake.
Erza smiled as she moved her hair out of her face revealing her right eye again.
"Naruto did fight the hardest out of us so I think bothering him about that kiss is hardly fair for all he did for us and the guild." Erza acknowledged.
Wendy was quietly biting her lip softly as she walked with the group but her expression showed she wasn't very focused.
'Sensei kissing an Older me… I mean she isn't me me but is that what I will look like when I am older? Would Sensei kiss me like that if I was older and more mature like Edolas Wendy-san?' Wendy thought to herself nervously.
The group arrived to Magnolia town where the townspeople were going about their day as if nothing had happened.
"Must be nice to be ignorant of these big events." Lucy whispered to Erza who only smiled.
"It just shows that we saved them. If they think nothing happened then that's good enough for me." Erza replied back as she watched the town continue on chatting.
"I swear it was raining but then the storm clouds vanished!" A little boy told her mother excitedly.
"That's nice dear. However, storm clouds don't just vanish suddenly. The clouds must have just run out of water." The mother said rather distracted as she was picking some apples out a food stand.
"But that's what I saw! I also heard like a loud boom!" The boy insisted as he tugged on his mother's sleeve with a whine.
"That's nice dear. I will take these ones please." The mother stated in the distracted tone before smiling at the woman running the fruit stand.
This got sweatdrops from the Fairy Tail members who continued to walk back towards the guild.
They eventually got to the Fairy Tail guild hall which had restored to its state like the town before sucked into the Anima. Naruto was standing in front of the door with his arms crossed with a smile on his face.
"You ready to greet everyone again?" Naruto asked as he gestured to the guild doors with his face.
"Ay sir!" Everyone chanted with a fist in the air besides the confused Pantherlily.
Naruto nodded before he turned around and pushed the door open with his palm at the door. A burst of Sky Dragon magic pushed the door open with a dramatic burst of wind.
The group walked in as the guild members were drinking at their tables like usual seemingly unaware there was a passage of time gone by while they were in a Lacrima state.
"Hey you guys! Its good to see the guild back together! Hmm did you guys go a job or something?" Cana greeted as she chugged her mug of beer with a loud unfeminine burp.
"Lu-Chan! I was wondering if you wanted to go on a job just the two of us? I know we have different schedules and everything but I thought a simple D-class job would fun for us!" Levy asked brightly looking at a teary eyed Lucy with a smile.
"Welcome back! Although I am not sure why you guys left in the first place? Its kinda odd group with Gajeel there but maybe its just a group building exercise?" Makarov asked with a head tilt while drinking a mug of his own beer.
Mira, Lisanna and Elfman walked up to the group as Lucy, Erza and Wendy gave a sigh of relief much to the siblings collective confusion.
"Hmm? Is something the matter?" Mira asked sweetly but her face was focused on Naruto who was smiling softly.
"Maybe you saw a ghost or something?" Lisanna joked getting a few laughs from the guild.
"If you saw a ghost give me a call! A real man will take care of it!" Elfman declared dramatically with a pose.
Lisanna gave her older brother a dry look.
"Sure Elfman-Nii." Lisanna stated somewhat sarcastically.
Nobody noticed the short and small Pantherlily perched up on Gajeel shoulder as he took a breath. He was about to be polite for once when asking for Pantherlily to join the guild from Makarov.
Before anyone could react. Naruto dashed forward with a bust of Sky Dragon magic at his feet. Naruto zipped to Lisanna and held her close giving her a tight hug. He placed a hand on her lower back and the other on the back of her head as he cradled her face into his shoulder.
"Thank goodness you are okay. I was worried." Naruto said with a sigh of relief as he closed his eyes and seemed to just relax with Lisanna sweet scent flowing into his nose at this close range.
"Naruto-Nii?!" Lisanna squeaked as her face turned scarlet at the sudden and rather close hug.
Lisanna hands were on her sides as she didn't know what to do in this situation. She was wearing her casual outfit of a light blue striped shirt that curved due to her medium sized breasts and still developing breasts. She also wore notable small green short shorts and sneakers.
After a few seconds Lisanna who was still blinking wrapped her arms around Naruto shoulders as she completed the hug while the guild was in shock.
"Naruto-kun?" Mira asked with eyes seeing her crush hugging her younger sister as if he was worried she would vanish in front of him.
"Naruto? And Lisanna?" Elfman whispered in shock as if Naruto had declared his love for his younger sister with that hug.
Lucy looked at Wendy and Erza who were just as shocked at Naruto's actions as she was.
'Ok so this isn't something he discussed with someone else before he got here. It was just spur on the moment.' Lucy thought with a hint of relief at Naruto not somehow telling another girl plans without her.
"Naruto?" Natsu asked oddly as he couldn't remember Naruto being that close to Lisanna besides enough for her to call her 'brother'.
Lisanna couldn't help but feel her face flush when she felt how solid Naruto felt when he was hugging her this close. She felt abit weird but it felt oddly very pleasurably getting hugged by someone she had declared was her 'brother'.
'This feels nice but not in the same way that getting hugged by Mira-Nee or Elfman-Nii kind of way.' Lisanna thought to herself as she felt hesitant to pull away even after close to a minute passed with him still holding her tight.
After the minute with the guild just gaping Mira coughed into her hand which seemed to wake Naruto up from whatever trance he was in. Naruto pulled away as Lisanna blinked several times.
Lisanna heart was soaring but despite her confusion she felt oddly cold after Naruto let go as if Naruto hug filled her with warmth she didn't have before.
"Naruto-kun. Could you explain what…." Mira asked with a frown with her hands on her hips before getting cut off.
Naruto then ran forward to envelop the shorter but very busty and curvy model into his arms. Mira gasped in shock before a very small blush appeared on the models face. She almost never blushed before loved/lusted after for years by thousands if not millions of people across Fiore.
She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck in a loving embrace as she sighed looking into Naruto sky blue eyes with her own. Naruto arms wrapped around Mira's slim waist showing how curvy the model was.
Mira was wearing a rather short one-piece mini skirt that only went to her upper thighs actually revealing her guild mark which was usually hidden by her various dresses. The dress itself only went up to her lower breasts giving a very notable neckline and did not have any straps. The mini strapless dress had a red trim for the neckline and a red bow in between her breasts. She also completed the outfit with same pink colour sandals. Overall, most men would agree she was a 10/10 in that outfit. Macao and Wakaba openly approved of this dress to her annoyance.AN2:
Mira was shorter then Lisanna but had much more developed curves and much larger breasts which earned her Fiore number 1 model and 'most beautiful woman' according to many many polls in Sorcerer Weekly. Her larger breasts were squished against Naruto's muscular chest while his hands got to enjoy how her thin waist curved to meet her large hips. Both Naruto and Mira enjoyed this embrace seemingly unaware or uncaring of their guild members gawking at them.
"Nee-chan…" Elfman whispered with a rare look of serious as he gazed at his beloved older sister in the embrace of a man he could silently admit was worthy of her being one of if only men he could trust to take care of her.
Lisanna was pouting at her older sister now being held by Naruto who just a few minutes ago was holding her like he thought she would vanish if he let go.
'Geez Mira-Nee! You don't have to love look all lovey dovey at him! You aren't dating or anything!' Lisanna thought to herself sourly.
Lisanna silently gasped and put her hand over her lips in surprise.
'Wait why am I being so annoyed?... Could I possibly like Naruto-Nii more then a brother?!' Lisanna thought in realization as that hug seemed to awake deep feelings inside of her she didn't know existed.
Mira and Naruto continued their embrace as they held each other close and Naruto unknowingly pushed Sky Dragon magic under their feet. They rose a few feet off the ground but due to the footing they felt like they were on solid ground not mid air.
"Naruto-kun… You…" Mira started seemingly about to ask him something but stopped when she looked into his eyes.
"Mira….. Just let me have this please.." Naruto whispered with such tenderness and vulnerability in his eyes that Mira barely noticed he didn't add the usual 'chan' to her name.
"Ok…" Mira whispered just as warm as she smiled at him softly. She leaned her face into his shoulder and sighed in relief.
'This is perfect. To be in the arms of the one you love and feel like nothing could go wrong. I guess that is what true love is huh.' Mira thought to herself in contentment as a warm content smile appeared on her face and she closed her eyes.
Naruto smiled as Mira's soothing sweet scent wafted into his nose and her soft perfect body pressed against him like they were two pieces of the same puzzle. Her beautiful hair and even the feel of her smile and warmth of her face set his heart at ease.
'Let me just forget what happened and enjoy this.' Naruto decided as he closed his eyes embracing the beautiful woman that made his heart both confused and warm at the same time. AN3:
As most of the men where insanely jealous of Naruto for holding Mira quite a few women where jealous of Mira for being embraced by Naruto in such a loving way. However, nobody seemed to want to interrupt the moment between the two S-class wizards. Gildarts was smirking though while Makarov looked ready to burst with fatherly pride for Naruto. So, this continued for a few minutes with neither wizard seeming ready to let go until one busty wizard decided to put in her two cents.
"Hey lover boy? Is there room for me?" Cana asked with her half-closed eyes and saucy smirk. Cana cheeks were a tad flustered and she leaned forward allowing her very well-developed chest to bounce freely to the join of certain men like Wakaba and Macao.
Naruto and Mira blinked before they blushed looking away from each other. Naruto let the Sky Dragon magic underneath them to slowly vanish as the two S-class wizards slowly descended to the ground.
Naruto stepped away from Mira who bit her lip showing her disappointment at the end of their embrace.
"Thanks Mira-chan. I needed that." Naruto told her gently with a warm smile that reached his eyes showing his gratitude.
Mira beamed up at him as her eyes seemed to shine much brighter then usual and her smile seemed to lit up the room itself.
"Anytime Naruto-kun. I am here for you whenever you need me." Mira told him warmly and sincerely.
When Naruto turned to address the smirking Cana he missed Mira out the corner of her eyes giving Cana the stink eye.
When Wakaba thought that Mira was abit more vulnerable or at least agreeable to his suggestions now that Naruto 'blew Mira off'.
"Mira-chan. If you are available later then maybe we can…" Wakaba asked in what he assumed was a charming tone and look.
However, to the irate Mirajane Wakaba was little more then an insect hovering in her personal space.
Mira's expression seemed to spell 'death' with her demon aura making the older man shudder.
"The only way I would touch you would be if I was crushing your face in my hands so back off." Mira hissed as Wakaba gave a nervous chuckle.
"Hehe… Actually, I had some plans so I will have to reschedule." Wakaba claimed trying to save face as Mira shooed him off with an unimpressed look on her face.
"You really know how to spoil the mood Cana." Naruto told her drily as Cana laughed waving him off.
"Aw! A lot of men would love for me to offer to 'join them'! You are one of the few ones who seem to immune to my charms!" Cana claimed with a wink as Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Besides what was with the sudden hugs? You were hugging Lisanna like she was going to vanish and you hugged Mira like she was a lifeline." Cana asked trying to probe for information.
Erza and Lucy stared at Naruto intently who was frowning looking away.
"…" Naruto was silent seemingly unwilling to explain.
"My boy? What's wrong? Did something happen?" Makarov asked with concern as his teasing smile vanished and a look of true concern appeared on his face.
"….." Naruto bit his lip as he clenched his hand briefly.
Erza sighed as she whistled getting the entire guild's attention.
"Hey what's with the black cat? When did Gajeel get a cat?" Max asked with a loud voice.
The guild finally noticed Pantherlily on Gajeel's shoulder.
"There is a lot that happened. Lucy and I will explain everything." Erza offered as the guild went silent and focused on the busty redhead and blonde.
"Why do I have to explain too?" Lucy whined but she didn't offer much resistance when Erza looked at her expectantly.
One explanation later….
"My gods… To think we were transported to Edolas and we didn't even know it." Makarov stated in surprise as he like the rest of the guild outside Naruto's team and Gajeel and Pantherlily were in shock.
"Master, you knew about Edolas?" Lisanna asked in curiosity with a cute head tilt.
Makarov nodded as he looked deep in thought.
"I am guessing Mystogan or rather Edolas Jellal told him about Edolas when he joined?" Naruto guessed with Makarov nodding.
"Ah that's right. I mentioned Edolas as a possible dimension when you joined Fairy Tail." Makarov realized before he sighed.
"Yes, Mystogan told me about an alternate world and that he would be gone for long stretches of time to seal of the Animas but he didn't go into great detail about the world itself. I never thought he would return home though." Makarov admitted before he gained a look of remembrance.
"I hope Mystogan is doing well in Edolas. It might have been his true home but as one of my children I can't help but worry when one of them is away." Makarov mused taking a gulp of his beer.
Naruto saw out of the corner of his eyes that Makarov had a look of longing for a moment before it returned to just sorrow.
'I bet Mystogan is not the only one he is worried about. I wonder if Laxus can feel how much his grandfather loves him?' Naruto thought to himself with a small smile.
Pantherlily looked up at Makarov after getting his Fairy Tail guild mark on his back like the other Exceeds of the guild.
"The Prince will be fine. If this was his home for all these years then I can tell that Prince Jellal will be ready for anything he will face in Edolas." Pantherlily assured Makarov who gave him a look of gratitude.
Meanwhile the rest of the guild was huddled around Naruto's team as they were answering questions about Edolas.
"Wow Lu-chan. To think another Fairy Tail exists and they were apparently the opposite of us here?" Levy asked in wonderment as Lucy nodded grinning sheepishly.
"I was shocked too. The Levy-Chan over there was rather brash and loud. She looked like you with more punk like clothes but wasn't nearly as sweet as you were!" Lucy assured her as Levy looked rather curious.
Cana was chugging an entire barrel of bear by herself before she gave a rather unladylike burp but her large chest proved she was still quite the woman in most men's eyes.
"Hmm I wonder how I was in the other Fairy Tail? I wonder if she had the same smoking body I do?" Cana asked looking at the guys in Naruto's team for answers.
"Uh? To be honest we don't really know what kind of body Edo Cana had." Gray admitted as Natsu shrugged when he looked his way.
"Huh excuse me? Don't tell me my body became like Levy's in Edolas?" Cana whined as Levy felt her head drop at the slight against her.
'Not my fault I am not a boob monster like everyone else in this guild!' Levy thought to herself sadly.
Naruto grinned at her as he walked up to her putting a hand on her shoulder making Cana blink in surprise.
"Don't worry. I can tell your counterparts have the same physical bodies but they have completely different personalities and clothing. I can only surmise its due to having lived completely different lives in that dimension then the lives you lived here." Naruto mused before he waved his hand in front of him.
Cana jaw dropped when Edo Cana in her lady like uniform was sipping tea in an elegant sitting position.
"That's Cana?!" Everyone besides the people who went to Edolas shouted together as Naruto grinned.
"Yup same busty body but completely hidden in an outfit a Lady would wear. I bet Edo Cana probably never even had a sip of alcohol in her entire life. It doesn't seem to fit the lady imagine I got from her." Naruto stated smugly feeling more then a tad satisfied seeing Cana look like she saw a ghost with how pale her face had become.
'Can't say I feel too bad for Cana. She kinda ruined the mood with Mira-chan so she gets to feel abit bad.' Naruto thought to himself happily.
Mira turned to Naruto and tilted her head.
"How about your counterpart Naruto-kun? Was he at all like you?" Mira asked but Naruto shook his head.
"There is no Edo Naruto. I came from a completely different dimension before I came to Earthland. I don't believe that it was fate your counterparts were different but I do think the worlds have some sort of ripple for them to exist looking and sounding like you. Edo Fairy Tail even confirmed indirectly never having met anyone like me." Naruto stated neutrally looking like he didn't care much if at all if he had a counterpart or not.
'Probably better this way. If I had to guess my counterpart might be working for Edolas Royal family and that would be a disaster.' Naruto mused to himself.
The guild chatted for awhile about the differences between the realm before Carla decided to speak her mind without thinking.
"To be honest it would be less weird if you kissed Edolas version of anyone in that guild, Mira, Lucy, Cana, Lisanna or even Levy rather than kiss the Edolas version of Wendy." Carla stated as Naruto face palmed and his teammates head dropped.
'Oh geez. Carla had to open her big mouth. The guild is totally going to get the wrong idea.' Lucy thought as she glared at Carla from the corner of her eyes.
"Carla!" Wendy shouted with a sigh.
Instantly everyone in the guild turned to look at Naruto with looks of disgust and disappointment with not even Mira hiding her annoyance with her crush. AN4:
"You did what?!" Makarov shouted as he started to grow into his Giant size with his eyes glowing with light and fury.
"Naruto…. There is a lot of things I like to tease but that is just wrong." Cana told him coolly as her arms were crossed over her large chest.
'Oh goodie. I thought we were gone past this part of our relationship but I guess we are right back to the whole 'as soon as there is a misunderstanding people freak out' part of the whole guild thing.' Naruto thought drily as he ducked a few beer glasses thrown at him.
Naruto did send the beer glasses gently back to the bar using Sky Dragon magic so that way Kinanna would be not cleaning up hundreds of shards of glass from broken glasses.
"You really need to control your dislike of Naruto. It's going to cause headaches in the future." Gray told Carla drily who had the decency to look at least abit ashamed at her words.
"I didn't mean for him to be in this situation. I should explain…" Carla admitted as she watched Naruto duck through several members of the guild angry attempts to dogpile him.
"Sigh… Let's go Gray. Time to fight our way through the crowd." Natsu stated with a rare serious expression which Gray nodded in agreement.
Before anyone could come forward Wendy placed Carla on the table and ran forward. With a surprising amount of control, she jumped forward on a platform of Sky Dragon magic to leap above the crowd and land next to Naruto who was surrounded by angry and mislead members of Fairy Tail.
"Wendy!" Several members shouted in concern as they halted their charges in fear of hitting the young and cute Dragon Slayer.
"Little Girl.. I mean Wendy-chan. Please move out of the way. I need to teach this blonde a lesson for kissing girls your age. There are time and places for those activities and someone your age is not ready for them." Gildarts told her in a fatherly tone but with a warning glare to Naruto who resisted rolling his eyes.
"Stop! Edolas Wendy-san is NOT my age! She is at least as old as Erza-san!" Wendy yelled with all her might.
"…. Eh?..." the rest of the guild was silent as any anger was changed with confusion as they looked at Naruto and Wendy like they grew a second head.
Naruto crossed his arms and tapped his feet looking rather expectantly as Wendy pouted cutely at her guildmates for assuming the worst for her beloved Sensei. Lucy and Erza shared a look before Erza nodded and walked forward not so subtly shoving people aside to stand by Naruto.
"She's right. Edolas-Wendy is about 19 like Mira and myself." Erza confirmed with a nod and a smile.
She looked at Naruto with concern who shrugged her off but nodded in appreciation. However, then she looked at the gaping crowd with her hair starting to move as if moving on its own. Her eyes seemed to darken as she frowned at guild members.
"Now can I ask why you assumed the worst in Naruto again? I believe we had this discussion before?" Erza asked coldly as the warmth in the air seemed to drain.
Everyone in the guild besides Naruto and Wendy who was standing next to Naruto started to shiver and sweat as they started to cower at the beautiful but angry red-headed Knight.
Even someone like Gray who was more or less immune to ice magic or coldness in general started to shiver along with Natsu who was a Fire Dragon slayer. Although it was possibly out of fear then anything else.
Pantherlily sweated by was impressed by the aura of the red headed knight while Gajeel put a front up for his new partner but was secretly rather afraid Erza himself.
'Huh even the master of Fairy Tail seems to cower in fear to Erza huh. I thought she was rather kind before but she seems to be the 'real' master of Fairy Tail behind the scenes?' Pantherlily thought to himself.
"Erza-chan! Hehe we were just worried about Wendy-chan! We didn't mean anything towards Naruto here!" Makarov claimed as he cancelled his Giant magic and returned to his normal size.
Makarov sweating and whimpering didn't seem to impress Erza who had her normal armoured top and blue skirt combo on. Erza towered over Makarov with her hands on her hips and a glare at Makarov and anyone she happened to look at.
"Master. Naruto is a dear friend and a member of this family. He would never do that sort of activities with a child like Wendy or even a counterpart of Wendy. I will not allow a misunderstanding like this to happen again." Erza stressed as turned her glare to the guild who nodded their heads furiously.
"We understand Erza! We are very very sorry Naruto! Please forgive us!" The guild besides Naruto's teammates, Gajeel, Pantherlily and a few of the more level headed members like Lisanna, Kinanna and Levy chanted and bowed.
Erza frowned until she felt Naruto's hand on her shoulder as he gave her a warm smile.
"Thanks Erza. I appreciate it." Naruto told her gently as Erza glare warmed as she sighed.
"Of course. I trust you Naruto and I won't let anyone slander you like that." Erza replied warmly as Carla tried to make herself as small as possible.
Naruto then turned to Wendy who looked up at him with her usual cute expression. He gave her a warm smile making her beam. He was about to put his hand on her head on like usual but then actually thought better of it using his right hand to rub his neck nervously.
Unseen to anyone else Wendy's eyes briefly turned into slits and her teeth grew more fanglike as she bristled with anger.
'How dare they! Now even Sensei thinks giving me affection is in some way wrong?!' Wendy hissed angrily before she blinked returning to her normal cute self.
Naruto then turned to the guild with an eerily calm smile closing his eyes.
"Uh… Does anyone else smell ozone? Is it storming outside?" Lucy asked nervously as the heavy scent of ozone filled the room.
Naruto whistled as blue sparks leaked out of his body at random intervals as if he wasn't really controlling it.
"Oh me? Lightning Dragon magic has a tendency of needing to be vented out if stored too long. Hence if I don't occasionally just let it out of my body I might have to blow something up!" Naruto chirped even as the intervals of the blue electricity seemed to increase rather than subside.
"Natsu! Gajeel! Is what he is saying about Dragon Slayer magic right?!" Makarov roared at the two who looked surprised at being called.
"How in the heck are we suppose to know! We don't have Lightning Dragon slayer magic!" Natsu and Gajeel shouted in unison.
'Is it possible it could be true? I mean Laxus never had that issue before but he his Dragon Slayer magic from the guild for years. He did leave the guild for large periods of time which I thought was him just brooding but could it be he left to vent of his excess magic without telling anyone?' Makarov thought considering the possibility that Naruto and Laxus had excess magic.
As everyone started to inch away from Naruto, Gildarts cracked his knuckles as he grew a serious expression.
"Stand back everyone. I will disperse his magic if he needs to release it out." Gildarts claimed as he put his right hand in front of him.
There was another few seconds of Naruto releasing blue Lightning Dragon magic before it all vanished suddenly. There was silence before Naruto started to laugh.
"Wow you thought I was serious? Like really? I had some issue of 'excess magic' and I needed to release it here and now? I mean it sounds crazy to me and I really meant it as a joke to lighten the mood." Naruto revealed after laughing for a few seconds.
"….."
"You were joking?!" Everyone shouted as Naruto took some earwax out of his ear uncaring.
"Yup. I was a tad annoyed you actually thought I would kiss a counterpart of Wendy at her age but I wasn't actually to fry you guys over it or anything." Naruto stated as he gave them sly smirks.
Most of the guild stopped being furious and rubbed their heads in embarrassment. Naruto then took the moment to pat Wendy's head again and ruffled her hair making her pout cutely like usual. This got the guild to go back to the silly antics again but Gildarts coughed into his hands.
"Naruto…." Gildarts asked seriously as Naruto nodded to Wendy who walked over to Lucy.
"Yeah Gildarts? Is there an issue?" Naruto asked as he stared at the "Ace of Fairy Tail".
"….." Gildarts took a breath in the same expression.
"What did Edolas Wendy look like? I mean she had to be cute for you to kiss her right?" Gildarts asked with a pervy silly expression.
Everyone in the guild except Makarov dropped their heads at his shamelessness.
"Seriously? You wanted to know that?!" Naruto asked with an incredulous look.
"Of course! You are starting to become a man and as your senior it is my responsibility to guild the next generation on the correct path!" Gildarts claimed as he put a fatherly hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Most of the guild seemed to think this was okay not noticing Cana brief look of hurt.
'Stupid old man…' Cana briefly thought bitterly before she washed that thought away with another huge mug of beer.
Naruto rolled his eyes and shoved Gildarts hand off of him but nodded.
"Fine. I suppose there isn't a big problem showing her picture here." Naruto stated as Wendy put her face in her hands.
"Just hang in there Wendy-chan!' Lucy whispered in encouragement as she could understand that Wendy would not be pleased to see an older version of herself being oogled by the men of Fairy Tail.
Naruto waved his hand as an illusion of Edolas Wendy appeared in the middle of the guild. Naruto could swear nearly every male who wasn't in Edolas jaw dropped. Naruto could also see Kinanna and Levy looking at the illusion with notable envy while Cana whistled looking impressed.
Edolas Wendy looked roughly 19 but notably taller than Erza and Mira with the same dark blue hair and brown eyes as her Earthland counterpart. She wore a small teal coloured tank top that exposed a large amount of her very large chest and her well toned stomach and belly button. She had white coloured pants that ended at her knees along with some casual sandals. Overall, she was quite the looker especially as she had very notable hourglass figure and large breasts easily on the same level as some of the notable beauties of Fairy Tail like Erza, Lucy and Mira.
Edo Wendy had a cool unimpressed expression as she had her hands on her hips but that only made her look that much more attractive in the men's eyes.
"That is Edolas version of Wendy?!" Everyone who wasn't in Edolas shouted as Wendy herself dropped into depression. Lucy patted her on the back with sympathy.
"Yes. That is rather detailed Naruto. I am impressed. Why is everyone so surprised? She has the same skin, eye and hair colour as our Wendy. Of course, they are counterparts." Erza stated seemingly oblivious to the rather big age difference or figure difference to the Wendy in their Fairy Tail.
"Why do all the babes go after him?" Wakaba cried in envy along with Macao much to Romeo's annoyance.
'Will Wendy-chan be a rival for Juvia in the future?' Juvia thought suspiciously as she couldn't help but notice Gray had a slight blush at the illusion of the Edolas version of Wendy.
Makarov was panting and coughed trying to hide his massive blush while Gildarts was grinning in a very perverted way.
"My boy! You are becoming quite the ladies man!" Makarov claimed as he and Gildarts had fatherly looks aimed at Naruto who looked abit uncomfortable.
"Man! Talk about a player! Getting to share a kiss with a girl like that!" Gildarts stated as he dragged Naruto to his table sitting his down.
"Uh excuse me? First I am not a 'player'. Edolas Wendy kissed me. I didn't actively kiss her." Naruto clarified but this only seemed to impress Makarov and Gildarts even more.
"Oh so your impressed her so much she rewarded you with a kiss huh? Our little Naruto is becoming a man!" Makarov noted with Naruto getting looks of envy from the men of Fairy Tail.
"Who are you calling little? And stop acting like this is some sort of big deal as it isn't!" Naruto yelled but Gildarts was on a roll as he smirked.
"Aw is little Naruto embarrassed? Don't tell me that was your first kiss by a woman? I mean I am impressed if nothing else but still you can tell good old Gildarts." Gildarts probed with a wriggle of his eyebrows.
"…. Shut up…." Naruto growled back but his embarrassed look seemed to all but confirmed Gildarts words.
This got the entire guild to perk up at the new information.
"Sot that was Naruto's first kiss! Oh wow! If I knew he hadn't been kissed before I would have offered to do it with him!" Cana claimed as she looked rather surprised but still gave Naruto a kiss in the air and wink.
Naruto growled as he buried his face into his hands in embarrassment.
'Not that I can see I have been kissed before but hey giving it to Naruto wouldn't been the worst thing.' Cana thought as despite her flirty attitude she was still very much a maiden. She just hid it well but suggesting she had flings here and there.
Lucy pouted while Erza merely raised an eyebrow at that confirmation.
'Sensei lost his first kiss to other me?! I mean if I was a few years older that could have been me!' Wendy thought in astonishment.
Lisanna was also surprised but she was mostly focused on Mira who was smiling sweetly with her eyes closed.
'Oh oh! I think Mira-Nee might do something!' Lisanna thought in worry.
"So Naruto-kun shared his first kiss. Good for him." Mira stated cheerfully but underneath the table she snapped a metal spoon in annoyance.
Mira had to silently take several deep breaths to calm down.
'Okay. It was just a kiss. Naruto is still single so I will just have to make my move later. Its not like a kiss is a proposal or anything.' Mira realized as she smiled softly glancing at Naruto out the corner of her eyes.
Natsu was just chowing down on some meat completely uninterested in Naruto's love life along with Happy eating fish. Gray had lost his shirt not noticing as he gave Naruto a look of sympathy.
"Ouch. That must be rough for your love life to be gossiped right of you huh. I guess popularity does have its down sides." Gray noted not noticing Juvia giving him heart eyes.
Naruto slid away from Gildarts and Makarov after they had several drinks and started to forget he was there as he walked over to Lisanna much to her surprise.
"Naruto-Nii?" Lisanna asked but she noticed it felt odd for some reason to call him 'brother' despite it being the honorific she was used to calling him.
"Lisanna…. I was debating telling you this but I want to tell you about the other Lisanna." Naruto stated with a serious expression that made the guild quiet and focus on Lisanna and Naruto.
"Other me? What happened to her?" Lisanna asked looking Naruto in the eyes with concern.
Makarov in particular took note of the solemn expressions on the group that went to Edolas including Pantherlily and Gajeel.
"Let me tell you what happened 2 years ago. That time I when I first met you before coming to Fairy Tail." Naruto stated as he waved his hand and focused his eyes.
Naruto's memory from 2 years ago
Naruto was wearing a brown hood and cloak as it was raining somewhere in the forests outside of Magnolia.
"Why did I feel I needed to come here again? I know Magnolia Town is the home of Fairy Tail guild." Naruto remarked as he hummed to himself before stopping.
Naruto head zipped up as he seemed to focus on an isolated part of the forest.
"This magic power… It seems unstable…." Naruto remarked as he crossed his arm looking onwards. There was a surge of dark demonic looking aura which was visible to Naruto.
Naruto bit his lip before he nodded his head. He seemed to have decided to intervene as he zipped on top of trees at high speed seemingly to be as light as a shadow as each tree barely moved from his jumping off each one.
Naruto leaped off a tree to see an insanely beautiful young woman who had long white hair tied into a ponytail with a dark red ribbon. The woman was wearing notably skimpy clothing in a somewhat goth theme being rather dark looking. She wore a black tank top that only covered the lower half of her well-developed breasts exposing a great deal of cleavage and her well toned stomach. She also wore a small black mini skirt with a white belt that only went down to her lower thighs. She completed the outfit with dark stocking and black boots leaving a small patch of her thighs exposed between the skirt length and her thigh high stockings.
Naruto briefly looked over the white-haired woman with his blue eyes before sighing.
"Luckily it looks like she is just unconscious without any serious injuries." Naruto noted before he bit his lip.
There was a massive beast like roar deeper in the forest. Naruto carefully set the white-haired woman against a tree as his hand glowed red for a brief moment. His hand on her shoulder seemed to make the woman shudder before moan slightly as her wet body seemed to be dried up and no longer shivering. Naruto nodded once he made sure the woman was safe as he dashed off.
He dashed deeper into forest until he growled when he saw a massive brown beast like monster standing in front of a hurt and bleeding from her cheek young woman with similar white hair as the one he just left.
The beast appeared to be senseless as he roared again and looked like he was about to punch the young woman on the ground. Naruto seemed to vanish in a burst of speed as there was a dust cloud from the impact of the brown beast smashing his fist at the ground. The dust cleared showing nothing was in the dust much to the Beast's confusion.
Naruto was a foot away with the young white-haired woman in his arms who looked up at him with tired blue eyes. The young woman looked startingly like the other white-haired woman he saved with the same blue eyes and white hair but much shorter white hair that only reached her shoulders instead of her lower back.
The young woman was wearing a simple red dress that went to her lower thighs along with black boots that went to her knees. The dress didn't cover her shoulders showing a red Fairy Tail guild mark on her left shoulder. She wore pink arm warmers that covered the rest of her arms. Naruto briefly noted this woman appeared to be a few years younger than the other one with notable less defined curves.
'Maybe there are sisters? They have a similar sort of magic power.' Naruto mused as he studied the woman in his arms who couldn't see his face due to his hood.
"Watch it!" The woman coughed as there was another roar from the brown beast.
The Beast sent another punch at the duo as Naruto leap backwards easily avoiding the strike. This caused the punch to miss them and hit the forest floor. His fist sank into the ground as a small crater was created making the Beast even angrier.
"I better finish this before he causes the entire forest to come down." Naruto mused out loud as the Beast roar and sent another punch at him.
This time Naruto made no attempt to run or avoid the Beast's massive punch. The young woman closed her eyes in terror expecting pain. Unseen by the young woman Naruto put his left hand out as he kept the young woman safe in his right arm and chest. After a few seconds the young woman opened her eyes and her mouth was wide open in shock and surprise.
Naruto had his left hand in an open palm and had blocked the massive Beast's entire punch without any issue. Naruto was not even moved from his spot from the massive attack!
"Huh so you do have some strengths don't you big guy." Naruto commented as he closed his hand when the Beast tried to pull back his fist.
The Beast roared in anger as he couldn't get his fist back from the hooded man.
"However, compared to my power it is no where near enough." Naruto mocked as he released his fist.
The Beast tried to attack Naruto again but Naruto easily slipped through his guard landing a blow with his elbow. The white-haired girl's eyes were wide as saucers when Naruto elbow jammed into the Beast's gut causing the Beast eyes to roll back into his head as he stumbled and coughed out spit from the single blow.
The Beast stumbled back a few feet as he clenched his stomach in pain from that single attack that seemed to know the wind out of him instantly. Naruto raised a hand out as blue wind started to form in front of his hand in a form of a beam.
"Please stop! He isn't a monster! He is my brother!" The white-haired girl pleaded when it looked like Naruto was about to wipe out the man.
Naruto paused as the wind dispersed around his hand looking at the man with a calculating eye. Naruto with the young woman in his eyes seemed to vanish only to reappear in front of the downed man as Naruto lightly tapped him on the back od the neck.
The controlled man rolled his eyes back and groaned falling asleep while still in the form of the beast like monster. Naruto put his hand out as a gentle blue aura surrounded his left hand as he gently placed his hand on the man's face.
To the young woman's shock her brother transformation seemed to reverse on itself as slowly the Take Over magic receded revealing his tanned brother unconscious but human again. She looked up at Naruto questionary look.
"Its Sky Devil Slayer magic. In addition to being to slay demons it has the ability to purify unholy or demonic aura's. Now that I knew your brother was human, I could easily infer it was a Take Over spell gone wrong. I merely used my magic to purify and subdue the Beast that was in control of him." Naruto stated with his hood still on. AN5:
The young woman nodded before smiling weakly.
"Thank you… My name is Lisanna." Lisanna greeted before she coughed abit of blood as Naruto looked at her in concern.
"Tell my brother and sister I love them… I will always love them." Lisanna whispered passionately as she closed her eyes with her breath starting to get weaker.
Above them the sky appeared to ripple as a hole/gap started to open in the middle of the storm clouds. Naruto briefly looked the gap with annoyance before he shook his head.
"Don't worry Lisanna. Your time isn't up yet." Naruto told her warmly as he shifted his arm so she was closer to his body.
Naruto right hand briefly appeared to glow golden before the glow vanished as he placed his palm on her forehead, Lisanna appeared to flinch for a moment even if her unconscious state as her head throbbed for a few seconds. In the memory you could vaguely see a white sun mark appear on her forehead before it vanished.
In the air the ripple in the sky appeared to widen for a moment before it vanished along with the storm clouds as if it was never there in the first place.
Lisanna blinked for a few seconds as she looked up no longer as pale as she was before.
"If there is something you need to say to your siblings you can say it yourself. That is my gift to you." Naruto stated warmly as his deep voice made Lisanna blush for a moment before she blinked.
"I am, okay? You healed me?" Lisanna asked in astonishment as she wobbly tried to get up.
Naruto chin could be seen underneath the hood as he looked down with his mouth showing sadness and disappointment. Naruto saw how weak Lisanna still was as he shifted her back into his arms so her back was against his chest and he put a hand on her waist to steady her.
"It's not healing…. Its something else…." Naruto clarified as his voice broke for a moment as he was in deep regret.
Lisanna blinked in confusion about to ask but sensing his tone decided to keep her mouth shut.
"Thank you! I owe you, my life!" Lisanna told him with a bright smile full of gratefulness and hope.
Naruto looked away with a small hint of redness on his cheeks as if her gratefulness made him slightly embarrassed.
"Treasure your family for all time, okay? That is how you will pay me back." Naruto told her warmly with a visible smile shown under his hood.
Lisanna was about to say something but then she started to hear a woman's voice shouting.
"Elfman! Lisanna! Are you okay!" A young woman's voice shouted with concern visible in her voice.
"Mira-Nee!" Lisanna shouted back in reply as footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Naruto nodded as he set her carefully on the ground on her two feet as he turned about to walk away. Naruto was confused when he felt Lisanna smaller hands grab his wrist.
"Wait! Please let me see the face of my saviour at the very least!" Lisanna pleaded with her eyes shining as she looked up at his hooded face.
Naruto took a moment before he chuckled and nodded. Naruto dramitcally took his hood off as he smiled gently at her.
Lisanna face turned scarlet as she saw his incredibly handsome somewhat tanned face with sky blue eyes that seemed to brighten the air itself, spiky blonde hair, pure genuine smile and three cute whiskers on both of his cheeks that she seemed to want to touch judging by her hands twitching towards his cheeks briefly.
"Heh. I guess that's not a problem. Lisanna-chan." Naruto chirped adding an honorific towards the girl who appeared to be a few years younger than him.
Naruto blinked when he saw her face was still scarlet as he tilted his head in confusion. Naruto instincts to protect people kicked in as he thought something was wrong with her. Naruto closed his eyes as he placed his left hand behind her head and placed his right hand on her waist to bring her closer.
"Eep!" Lisanna squealed as her body was pressed against the older handsome blonde hero.
Naruto placed his forehead against hers with his eyes closed and him holding her close. Lisanna face seemed to be steaming as Naruto held her close.
"Hmm I thought you might have a fever but it seems like you are fine." Naruto mused as he opened his eyes to see Lisanna blue eyes looking away along with her red cheeks.
"I am fine. Nothing is wrong!" Lisanna squeaked as Naruto looked at her for a few moments before shrugging.
"Alright then. I will let you get back your siblings now." Naruto announced as he released Lisanna and started to walk away.
Lisanna bit her lip as her blush receded.
"Please come to Fairy Tail sometime! I want to see you again!" Lisanna pleaded as she looked at Naruto's back.
Naruto stopped before turning around with a grin.
"Till we meet again Lisanna-chan! Next time I will tell you my name!" Naruto promised with a nod.
Lisanna turned around when she saw Mira coming with an unconscious Elfman in her arms.
"Lisanna! Thank goodness you are safe!" Mira cried out as she put Elfman on the ground and ran to her older sister.
"Mira-Nee!" Lisanna cried out as she ran out to hug her older sister who enveloped her in a tight hug as if she was about to vanish if she stopped.
Lisanna turned around while in her hug but to her surprise Naruto was already gone. Lisanna went back to hugging her sister while Mira cried on her shoulder in joy.
Naruto was revealed to blurred and reappeared on a nearby mountain with a smile on his face.
"Good for them." Naruto stated as he walked away to the distance.
"Why did you save them?" an amused Mavis asked walking next to him. AN6:
"Hmm maybe out a sense of duty? Or perhaps I just wanted to keep one more family together." Naruto suggested as he placed a hand on his chin even as they kept walking.
"I think you are just a softie despite all your powers." Mavis teased with a grin as Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Haha. Very funny." Naruto retorted with a light hearted smile.
"Fairy Tail huh. I can see why this guild is one with family is first." Naruto mused with a gentle smile.
"Naruto…." Mavis said with concern in her eyes.
"Now let's continue my journey. I still need to find the answer to Healing powers." Naruto revealed as he looked into the distance. Mavis smiled along side him as Naruto floated into the sky along with her.
Unseen to others Naruto was holding onto Mavis's waist as she placed her hand on his arm as if to confirm they were travelling together.
End of flashback/memory
The guild was silent as they stared up at Naruto who was smiling at Lisanna.
"That is what happened 2 years ago when I first met you, Lisanna." Naruto revealed as he waved his head as the illusion/memory faded away like a puff of smoke.
"Naruto-san…." Lisanna whispered not realizing her change of honorific to longer refer to him as a brotherly figure like she did with her actual brother Elfman.
Before anyone else could react Wendy with a furious expression flew towards Naruto quickly with Sky Dragon Slayer magic on her feet.
"Sensei! I thought you couldn't heal before Sky Dragon magic?" Wendy asked with hands crossed over her flat chest.
'Huh just I thought Wendy-chan was too nice to confront anyone she is still surprising me. She doesn't even seem to notice she is flying by herself at the moment.' Naruto thought as Wendy had returned to the ground after her brief stint at flying.
"It wasn't healing. That power I used wasn't any sort of healing. It was a restoration or rather returning what was lost back to someone." Naruto clarified although with notable bitterness in his tone as the sun mark briefly appeared on his hand before vanishing.
Wendy blushed as she tried to apologize but not before Wakaba tilted his head.
"Sounds like you are playing word games to me kid. Tomato, tomahto." Wakaba claimed but he flinched when Naruto glared at him with electricity running though his eyes.
"THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!"Naruto snapped as electricity briefly surrounded him making people yelp.
"You have no idea how it feels to have power like mine but be unable to save people when they need it! Healing is far superior to brute strength in my opinion!" Naruto yelled as he started to pant from his anger.
Naruto didn't seem to notice the concerned looks he got as his vision was started to cloud up in frustration.
"Naruto. Stop. Look down." Erza told him sternly with her hands on her hands as she gestured to Naruto's waist.
Naruto looked down and gasped when he saw that Wendy wrapped her small arms around him even as she winced when his Lightning Dragon magic started to mildly zap her.
"Sorry sensei… I didn't mean to make you angry." Wendy whispered as she resisted rubbing a burnt spot along her arm.
Instantly the lightning vanished as Naruto knelt down wrapping Wendy in a tight hug. Naruto placed a hand over Wendy's arm as Sky Dragon magic instantly started to heal and mend the slight number of burns, she sustained from her hug.
Wendy sighed in relief as the pleasant feeling of getting healed surged through her. A feeling she would admit she did not often get as her own Sky Dragon magic was incapable of healing herself.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean for this. Please forgive me Wendy-chan." Naruto pleaded as he placed Wendy against his shoulder and held her close.
Wendy giggles and sighs showed she didn't hold this against him but instead she just enjoyed the close contact with her beloved sensei. She couldn't help but sigh as she rubbed her cheek against his neck as Naruto kept her against him with a hand on her back.
Most of the guild thought the scene was adorable with only Carla having any sort of issue as she grumpily crossed her arms.
"Hmm so Naruto is rather good with children. Or is he like this with everyone?" Pantherlily asked Gajeel who grumbled.
"Tch… He is the kind of guy who would sacrifice himself before letting any harm come to someone he cares about." Gajeel stated a slight smile on his usually grumpy face.
Naruto hugged Wendy for another minute before he seemed to shudder as if sensing something. Naruto glanced out the corner of his eye something before he used a quick but notably weak burst of Sky Dragon magic to carry Wendy towards a confused Erza and Lucy. Just as Wendy landed Naruto was lifted into the air and hugged by a crying Elfman.
"You are a real man Naruto! You saved Lisanna when I failed her! I owe you everything as one man to another!" Elfman shouted as he cried even as he hugged Naruto who had a polite smile on his face.
The rest of the guild looked abit creeped out at Elfman giving 'manly' tears with Mira and Lisanna in particular looking like they wanted to hide in a hole.
"So embarrassing." Lisanna pouted with a sour face and her arms crossed.
"Oh My…. That is so…. Elfman…" Mira commented as she giggled into her hand but she had a sweatdrop on her forehead along with her sighing slightly at her younger brother's actions.
Naruto let Elfman hug him for abit patting his back before he stepped back with an easy grin before he got serious.
"Honestly, I have never seen my actions as anything that heroic. For me saving Lisanna back then is just something I thought anyone would do." Naruto stated as he shifted his gaze to a blushing Lisanna.
"If there is something I can to help someone else then I will do it. Its as simple as that." Naruto added as he gave Lisanna a soft smile.
"Naruto…..- san…." Lisanna whispered as she hesitated on the honorific before she felt her heart start to throb uncontrollably.
'He feels different to me… I mean he is something else…' Lisanna thought to herself uncertain.
"So how does this relate to other Lisanna?" Mira asked after a moment with a serious tone but her eyes and quivering lip showed she was at least somewhat worried about her sister's counterpart.
Naruto sighed as he idly played with a visible strand of Sky Dragon magic.
"Edolas Lisanna was paralyzed from the waist down and was forced to be in a wheelchair for the last two years." Naruto stated grimly as he closed his eyes as if unwilling to imagine the younger girl again.
Mira and Lisanna gasped and put their hands over their lips in terror while Elfman growled with anger clear in his eyes.
"Who did that to her?! She might be my sister sister but I will show what a real man does to protect his family!" Elfman roared as Mira and Lisanna sent him grateful looks while Naruto nodded in approval with his eyes closed.
"….. I did… or rather what I did for this Lisanna caused what happened to that Lisanna." Naruto explained after opening his eyes.
"What the hell are you talking about?! Edolas Lisanna said she fell from a cliff two years ago!" Natsu growled in confusion but the confusion was also shared with the other members of Fairy Tail that went to Edolas.
'Was? Did something else happen to Edolas Lisanna?' Makarov thought in realization as he gazed at Naruto who had crossed his arms with a frown.
"I didn't realize it back then but looking back that ripple in the air from two years ago was a natural small Anima. Not as powerful or big as the one that Edolas Royal Family used but naturally occurring one." Naruto stated as he pointed to the sky and had his Sky Dragon magic form an imagine of a ripple between a burst of magic to illustrate.
"I guess that makes sense as our dimensions are parallel to each other but that does a natural Anima have to do with Edolas Lisanna and our Lisanna?" Lucy asked looking at Naruto.
"Naruto-san? What is it?" Lisanna asked in concern as she walked up and put a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"This is just my theory but I believe that if I wasn't there that the Anima would have brought Lisanna to Edolas from her injuries caused by Elfman full body Take Over form." Naruto stated as everyone was gaping at him.
"Me in Edolas?! Wait if I went to Edolas what would have happened to the Edolas Lisanna?!" Lisanna asked looking like she was going to have a panic attack.
Naruto gave her a brief hug before pulling away.
"I can only speculate but Edolas Mira and Edolas Lisanna told me how she fell from a cliff roughly the same time that our Lisanna was getting attacked. The way Edolas Mira phrased it made it seem like that her Lisanna was suppose to have died from the fall but instead miraculously was found but her legs were broken." Naruto revealed as the guild was silent.
"It seems me saving Lisanna caused a ripple that made the Anima unable to transport a injured Lisanna for a dead one. Instead, Lisanna lived here and Edolas Lisanna survived but became a cripple." Naruto explained finishing his tale while looking at Lisanna whose siblings enveloped her in a hug.
Lisanna looked like she was in shock as she gazed up with a blank look.
"So me getting to stay with my siblings caused the other Lisanna to have to live as a cripple? I mean cripple is better then dead but she still suffered because of me?" Lisanna asked nearly in tears even as Mira and Elfman tried to comfort her.
"Don't think like that! It was a miracle that day Naruto was there and I will not have you feel guilty you are still with us! If you did go to Edolas and we thought you were gone I don't know what I would have done!" Mira insisted loudly looking close to tears so Lisanna shifted over to comfort her older sister now while Elfman held them both in his large arms.
"That's right. I don't care if keeping you here is somehow selfish or not, I would be selfish if It meant our family was together." Elfman stated in a serious tone with his sisters' sobs showing their appreciation.
The mood in the guild was grim so Lucy without thinking had to intervene.
"Hey hey! Naruto said 'was'! Somehow Naruto ended up healing Edolas Lisanna before we left! She was standing and everything by the time we got home!" Lucy blurted out before she covered her mouth when Naruto sent her an annoyed look.
'Sheesh I was going to tell them but now they are going to make a big deal out of this huh.' Naruto thought to himself sourly as he still preferred to not be praised too much.
Once again, the mood shifted from sadness to confusion as everyone head turned to Naruto who was face palming.
"That's impossible. I heave heard of several forms of Healing magic but in all the books I have read it would be possible to reverse damage that has happened two years ago. The body would have adapted and no longer be able to be healed as legs would just be crippled in a natural state." Makarov stated with Gildarts nodding along.
"Something you aren't telling us? Can you turn back time or something as I think that would be possible to bring that girl to a state before her legs were crushed." Gildarts suggested but Naruto shook his head.
"Nah can't do that. I just used a massive amount of Sky Dragon magic to reawaken her legs and heal the internal damage. I will admit it wasn't painless but it was over pretty quick. As long as she doesn't do any sprints and does some physical therapy in the meanwhile, she should regain full usage of her legs in no time." Naruto explained but did end up in a doctor rant in the latter part.
'Again Sensei is treating it like its no big deal but I honestly thought only a dragon like mother could heal that sort of damage and she is on a different level to Dragon Slayers.' Wendy thought to herself even as Naruto was getting pats of the back from various members of the guild.
"You are a real man!" Elfman screamed as Naruto avoided his hug/tackle.
"If you keep sweet charming all the ladies like this, I might even fall for you." Cana teased as she did an interesting crossing her arms underneath her chest which made them bounce even more.
"That's my boy. A true Fairy in your heart as well." Makarov stated proudly as Naruto rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Its really not a big deal. I mean I couldn't just stand there and let the other Lisanna suffer while I could help ya know?" Naruto told them modestly getting aws from the women and grins from the men.
For that comment Mira gave him a super tight hug as she wrapped her arms around his neck and his hands wrapped around her slim waist as if by reflex.
"Thank you Naruto-kun. You really are the sweetest most kind man I have met. If there is anything you ever need just ask." Mira told him sweetly as she rested against his shoulder as the swayed together.
Naruto blushed slightly at the embrace and her words but didn't pull away instead enjoying how her body fit his perfectly.
"Your welcome Mira-chan." Naruto stated simply as if that was all he needed to say.
Lucy pouted but just sighed raising her hands in surrender.
"Sheesh at this rate I won't have a chance at all." Lucy whispered seeing the intimate contact between her crush and her role model.
Cana would have made a comment but instead grew sad when she saw Gildarts whistling and giving Naruto a fatherly or at least uncle like look of pride.
'Stupid old man. Can't even look like that at your own kid huh?' Cana thought to herself as she chugged her beer down to drown out her sadness.
"Mira sure is giving Naruto a lot of hugs…. Hmm is it possible she likes him more then a friend?" Erza suggested with wide eyes as if she was just realizing that for the first time.
Everyone around her besides Mira and Naruto gave her a dry look.
"Congrats Erza. You found out something I think everyone has suspected for months now." Gray stated but luckily Erza was too preoccupied to notice.
Mira and Naruto were in their own world together before Lisanna meek cough got their attention and the guild attention. Most notably Lisanna was blushing rather hard and having a hard time looking at Naruto in the eyes. Mira and Naruto pulled away but not before Mira gave him one last breathtaking smile that would have had her fans scream for days.
"Lisanna what's wrong?" Naruto asked looking worried for the younger girl.
Before anyone could say anything else Lisanna rushed forward throwing herself at Naruto. Naruto yelped but wrap his arms around her as she buried herself into his shoulder.
"Thank you for everything! Saving me and other me is something I don't know how to repay!" Lisanna blubbered as she pulled back enough to stare at him in the eyes.
Naruto smiled as rubbed her back making her giggle.
"You will never have to repay me back. We are friends after all right? Friends look out for each other and don't need to repay each other." Naruto explained his philosophy as the guild nodded in approval.
Lisanna nodded before shyly blushing as she gathered up her courage.
"Then can I ask for two more favours?" Lisanna asked shyly as Naruto merely nodded.
"Can I call you Naruto-kun? Sorry! I just feel that is more familiar now!" Lisanna started to rant when she saw Naruto eyes widen slightly.
Naruto grinned as he leaned his head closer to her and unintentionally smelled her similar but different vanilla scent of her hair.
"You can call me whatever. I don't mind. Honestly if you think that is more what you think of me then I would be honoured." Naruto told her warmly as Lisanna shyly nodded.
She took a deep breath as she stepped back as she bit her lip in nervousness.
"The other thing is… Can you call me Lisanna-chan like you do with Mira Nee-chan?" Lisanna asked much to Naruto and the guild surprise.
"Lisanna?" Mira asked with clear surprise at her sister wanting to address Naruto in a much less family like way and have her be more familiar in return.
"Uh sure? If you want me to call you Lisanna-chan I can easily do that. I will humbly accept Lisanna-chan." Naruto answered with a mock bow making Lisanna giggle.
'Naruto-kun. Lisanna-chan. Hmm I like the sound of that.' Lisanna thought to herself as she walked back to her siblings.
Lucy gaped as she starred at Lisanna who appeared to much happier then usual.
'Don't tell me I have ANOTHER rival for love! I mean I was certain that Lisanna liked Naruto like a brother but now the way she wants to be addressed sounds like a crush kind of way!' Lucy thought to herself in despair.
Lucy took a thinking pose while she was sitting down ignoring Natsu eating now that the drama in the guild was settled.
'Lucy-chan? Naruto-kun?' Lucy thought to herself as she considered asking Naruto to change the way they addressed each other.
"Nah. Its weird that way. What we have right now feels right." Lucy decided out loud as she felt adding honorifics at this point would make them less close weirdly enough.
Happy grinned deciding he couldn't help himself.
"The only weird one! Talking to yourself out loud like nobody can hear you." Happy teased.
"Shut up stupid cat!" Lucy retorted as she tired to swat at the laughing flying Happy while Carla sighed and Pantherlily was just confused.
Naruto was blissfully unaware of how a girl changing the way she addressed you could be a sign of a change of relationship or feelings was sitting down at the same table with his guild. Naruto was listening as Erza was explaining in between bites what the best cakes were.
"If you want, we can try different cakes out again. You know just the two of us like before." Erza suggested appearing to be only mildly interested but oddly brushed the hair behind her ear as if asking Naruto on a date.
Mira appeared to sense something as she was instantly on edge as she glared at Erza and looked worried at Naruto's response.
"Again? Have they been going on cake dates before?!" Mira stated in worry as it sounded like they had dates before. AN7:
"Uh well maybe but I did promise to spend some time with Mira before this whole Edolas thing happened so I will make time afterwards." Naruto explained as he grinned at the beaming Mira who giggled.
While Naruto wasn't looking Erza frowned and Mira sent a mocking grin at her which made Erza grit her teeth.
'Ah I see. My rival is trying to stoke the fire again huh.' Erza thought to herself as she realized if Mira did like Naruto, then she would try to spend extra time with him.
Naruto turned his head when he heard his name called missing the glaring contest between Mira and Erza.
"Hey Naruto! Who were you talking to in the memory? I could hear words but I couldn't tell who spoke them. It was really weird." Macao asked.
Naruto shrugged but had a grin on his face.
"Was that one of your Tailed Beast guys inside of you? They can talk right?" Wakaba suggested as Naruto just grinned.
"Well, they are inside of me and they do talk. Its just they don't really like to talk to people often." Naruto commented which seemed to be a good enough answer for the guild.
Naruto did send a discreet look at Makarov and seemed to mouth out 'Mavis'.
'Ah so that was Master Mavis he spoke to. It appeared that he blurred her out to keep her privacy. I suppose that is fine until a time she chooses to reveal herself as she is suppose to be gone.' Makarov realized but had a small smile.
AN2: This is the outfit she wears in canon to fight Azuma on Tenrou Island but I thought why not wear this for her special hug with Naruto.
AN3: Mira is already in love with Naruto while Naruto is traumatized (although he didn't say it) from having a part of himself willing to kill every member of the Royal Army to save Fairy Tail. This hug is something both of them need although not for the same reasons. Also just because he let Edo Wendy kiss him doesn't mean he isn't fond of Mira or the girls from Fairy Tail. Like he said he saw the kiss as more a farewell then anything romantic.
AN4: Remember keep in mind there is no hints in the show that Fairy Tail outright knows besides Wendy that their counterparts are different ages then them. At this point the way Carla says it makes it sound like Naruto kissed you know another young teen even just a counterpart to their young teen Wendy.
AN5: Think what Gray with Ice Devil Slayer magic did when Lucy was overwhelmed with the dark powers of the Book of END (when she changed Natsu's nature to be unaffected by Zeref's death).
AN6: To clarify in the memory nobody can see Mavis. Naruto is selectively not showing her. Everyone else can only hear a non gender voice saying the words but they can't tell where its from.
AN7: It was awhile ago but in chapter 13 they technically went on a cake date together although neither of them considered it a date. The way Erza is phrasing it now suggests she might consider it a date now.
