1Episode 1: Natsu is Stupid.
A loud and irritated groaned echoed throughout the room as the owner trudged out of bed. The pounding on their front door got louder along with the shouting, they groaned again not caring for their appearance they ripped it open. "This better be good." The sound of their voice rough from sleep. In front of them stood a nervous man, he was greatly intimidated by the older, taller, and more powerful 'man'. " Ah, w-well you see. I kinda- toldnatsuthataSalamanderwasinHargeon."
He stuttered out a breath but when he looked up he saw sharp silver eye's staring at him, his breath hitched in his throat as sweat dripped down the back of his neck 'this is where I die, I'll see you soon Hachi.' As the man thought of his death and his long-dead dog, the brunette deadpanned, in all honesty not glaring at the man just confused as to what he said.
"Hah?" Was their intelligent reply. The man's breath hitched once again, taking in one big gulp of air he sputtered out. " I may have told Natsu that a Salamander was in Hargeon." The silver eye's sharpened to steel before they closed, rubbing the bridge of their nose the brunette sighed in irritation.
Huffing the silver-eyed person gathered magic in their throat before releasing it in an inhuman roar. The man shrieked never before seen the mage in front of him use their magic before. Thinking it was a sound of anger he quickly backed up and out of the path of what could be another attack. Seconds later a sound, similar to the one they had unleashed, responded with fervor.
The wind picked up as the beats of wings bend and twist trees, a soft growl and a thud sounded the arrival of a great wyvern. The large cousin to the dragon towered of the cowering man with its gray scales appearing more silky than slimy. The beast lowered its snake-like head showing off the vibrant yellow tiger-like stripes that lined it's back. To the man the only thing differing the beast to others was the leather saddle on its back and reins.
Ignoring the cowering man the silver-eyed mage calmly walked up to the winged beast, who whined butting its head against the older mage's middle. They chuckled petting the cold scales of one of their closest and oldest pack members. The silver-eyed mage turned back to the man "I'll go find Nastu, tell the old man I've got it handled."
Not giving the guy any time to respond they effortlessly jumped on the back of the wyvern. Grabbing the reins they muttered a simple command and off they went.

After telling the wyvern to wait outside the city limits the mage decided to walk around some, seeing as they had arrived before the dragon slayer. Not but 20 minutes later, a girl sprinted past squealing about a famous mage named Salamander. Narrowing their silver eyes the Mage followed the sound of girls high pitched squealing. Especially knowing Natsu's moniker is Salamander it's truly unlikely that girls would be excited to see the salmon-haired teen.
When the silver-eyed mage reached the apex of noise, they noticed a blue-haired man standing in the center of the girls. Finding this odd, they looked for charms or the presence of activated spells of any kind. Because honestly, the man wasn't all that good-looking. The mage found two rings on each hand and a necklace around his neck 'Cupids Arrow on his left, Sleeping Beauty on his right and a Prominence necklace, all banned charms.'
Silver eyes darkened with justified anger, narrowed on the man. Breaking the effects of the charm came first then arresting him after, but they had to act fast. If the steely-eyed mage were to try arresting him before breaking the spell the girls would not hesitate to attack with killing intent until the man told them to stop. Only someone with more presence or high populous could break the spells, which meant they had no choice but to step into the center. Whether they liked it or not they had become quite the popular mage ranking number 2 in bachelors of Fairy Tail coming 2 votes behind Laxus and Loke who were in a tie for 1st place.
Sighing they could feel a headache coming as they breached the circle coming to stand in the center, facing the blue-haired man. Everyone's attention soon diverted to the mage, and with an audible popping sound the spell broke. Confused whispering spread throughout the area before the girls began to notice the Fairy Tail mage in front of them.
"It's him, look at his silky brown hair!"
"The Beast Tamer, can you believe it!?"
"Shika's so cool!"
"He's even hotter in person, I just love the way his hair's styled."
A smirk crossed Shika's face their silver orbs roamed the crowd before landing on a blonde teen. She looked on in awe, she had seen his impressive bio in Sorcerer's Weekly. The man in front of her stood at 5'7, his complexion was to be envied and his tan skin stood out from the fair-skinned Fiorian's. Shika's dark brown hair was styled up into a high ponytail which caused the ends of his hair to spike out. The one thing about the man that truly stood out to the blonde was his lidded eyes. Naturally they were a calm silver, however, when irritated his eyes darkened like right now, his intelligent eyes were more of a steel color. When she noticed the brunette staring at her a blush spread across her nose.
Shika lazily looked back at the blue-haired man as he scoffed "like your such a big deal, I'm Salamander of Fairy Tail." He brushed his bangs back in a flamboyant matter, flashing his white teeth at the girls still crowded around them.
"I can't believe we fell for that."
"Ugh, I feel sick."
"I need eye bleach." The blonde mutter and with Shika in hearing distance, her statement caused the mage to chuckle.
The blue-haired man, who Shika now recognized as Bora the Prominence, stumbled back with each statement as if shot with invisible arrows. With Bora distracted Shika whispered a spell "Shadow Neck Binding Technique." A dark-gray magic circle appeared under Bora's feet. Bora's shadow stretched forming two hands creeping along the man's body. Tightening as they traveled up to his neck, where Shika stopped the spell to keep it from strangling the blue-haired man.
"Bora the Prominence, you are under arrest for impersonating a legal mage and for three charges of the use of banned charms. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of the Magic Council."
Shika droned stating his wrong-doings and his rights, unintentionally looking and sounding cool to the girls surrounding them. Keeping the spell wrapped around the man active, the brunette turned to the blonde standing near them. "Call the Rune Knights, will ya? Keeping this spell going is troublesome." She sweat-dropped but none the less called the Knights.
A couple of minutes later a small platoon of Rune Knights, teleported behind the now diminished crowd of girls. Shika by now was sitting on the ground looking tired but not any more than usual. The crowd split for the captain as he went to address the mage casually sitting on the ground, but right as he opened his mouth a salmon-colored blur barreled into him sending the captain sprawling onto the floor next to Shika.
"Igneel! Igneel, are you here!?" The teen shouted, not noticing the Knight he was currently trampling all over.
"Markus sent you on a wild goose chase, Natsu. Igneel was never in this town." Natsu grinned when he saw Shika but soon frowned as he heard what they had to say.

With everything settled they found out that Bora had a boat of slaves and slavers in the harbor, his plan had been to charm girls into coming to a party on his ship and head to Bosco to auction off the slaves. The captain in charge handed Shika a witness notice stating that the mage was required to show up in court to testify against Bora. "Troublesome..." Shika grumbled under their breath as they walked back with Natsu, Happy, and the blonde who the brunette learned is named Lucy. And while they would have taken the train back, Natsu vehemently refused and Shika knew it would have been a mess if they allowed Natsu and his mischievous blue-furred cat to walk back by themselves.
Lucy was talking 90 miles a minute, exclaiming how excited she is to be joining Fairy Tail. Shika chuckled wondering how long she's going to last in their crazy guild. "So Shika, right?" The blonde asked and with an affirmative hum, she didn't hesitate to continue "how long have you been in the guild? What about you Natsu?"
Shika hummed in thought "about 10 years for me and 7 years for Natsu, I think." The salmon haired teen paused with his olive eyes squinted in thought. "Hurg!" Natsu put a fist under his chin and squatted down, grunting in the effort. Happy flew worriedly around the male's head as steam began to whistle out of his ears.
Shika ignored them and kept walking "Don't overwork your tiny brain, Scale face." They smirked as they heard an enraged roar, loud stomping followed the brunette. Shika lazily dodged out of the way as Natsu tried tackling the taller mage. Shika chuckled holding back the teen with a hand on his head. Natsu pinwheeled his arms trying his hardest to hit the older person. But before he could get an actual hit, the Beast Tamer let go of Natsu and with his momentum, the teen barreled into a headlock.
Shika braced their feet as they gave the young male a rough noogie. Lucy sweat-dropped as Happy, who was perched on her head, snickered behind a blue furry paw. Natsu cheered when he was finally released, comically hiding behind Lucy, as he glared at the older mage. Shika smirked again throwing their arms behind their head, as they began walking again. Lucy sprinted to catch up to the 'man' with Natsu and his cat following close behind "so how long should it take to get to the guild?"
Shika glanced back at her before sighing tiredly, staring wistfully at the cloudy blue sky. "At this pace, this time tomorrow we should be at the guild." Lucy blinked at the 'males' change in attitudes before groaning and nodding.
Time Skip
The ragtag group reached Magnolia a day later, precisely as the brunette had estimated. In their little group an assortment of feelings encompassed each member, Lucy was practically vibrating in excitement and nerves, Natsu and Happy were off on their own planet whispering to each other, while Shika was tired of it all.
Shika, not totally a social butterfly, was incredibly drained of all their social quote, especially with the nervous chattering of the blonde and the constant of the dragon and cat duo.
The brunette kept up a respectable front while the group walks through the town to the guild, as merchants and citizens alike greeted them with an exuberance unlike any other. Lucy, Natsu, and Happy soaked up the attention while Shika lazily waved at them and sent small grins. The people, already used to the 'males' disposition, chuckled and shouted out to 'him' to sleep more often. Loud noises and the sound of things breaking increases the blondes nervousness as they approach, Shika patted the shorter girl on the shoulder, not hesitating, before entering.
"Welcome to the crazy house, aka Fairy Tail."
Hey guys, so I met someone on Fanfiction who really helped me see what I could be doing better. They aren't my beta or anything just a new friend. So I'm going back through my old chapters and editing them, so if y'all see anything that's off... you can blame Grammarly. Lol.
But no seriously I have two questions and little of explaining. Question number 1; should I add a filler chapter in between each arc? The fillers are going to be centered around the guild interacting with Shika.
Question number 2; Do y'all want me to add in more Naruto based characters? If I do, the characters will be fitted into the Fairy Tail verse. Also, I'm not going to change their genders like what I did with my Shikamaru based character.
So to do a little explaining, I had a thought before I started writing. 'What if the younger generation had someone reliable to lean?" I wanted to also do a character based on a Naruto character, so I picked one of my favorite Naruto characters and fitted them for Fairy Tail. Shika's pairing is also locked in so sorry if you wanted to suggest one. Shika's character is based on Shikamaru, they're not Shikamaru to the T. They have a lot of Shikamaru's characteristics but they are their own character as well.
I believe that's all I have to say and ask, but please review. Tell me what you think I could improve on, what you think about Shika, or even what your favorite part is and what made you react the most.
