Hatred for Love

Chapter 1: Reminiscence

|Hatred for Love|
Flashback
Enter Naruto Shippuden Ost - Hurricane Suite 1

Erza Scarlet, newly appointed S-class mage of Fairy Tail was becoming annoyed. First she accepts to do a demon extermination mission, then she finds out the demon extermination mission was a fluke created by a dark guild to lure and ambush mages and use them as slaves. Males to death battle coliseums and women to sex slave rings. Erza fought and defeated many dark mages but their numbers began to tire her.

"Ha, seems you getting tired, little girl," said a black haired mage in front of her. He began to look at her with pure lust, "Give up girl, if you do we'll give you a special reward."

'Damn it! I'm low in magic and I'm too injured to continue,' thought Erza. She was going to say something until she was interrupted.

"Sword Art: Crescent Moon Flash."

A blond appeared in front of her, those who trailed him fell with deep slashes on their persons. He appeared next to her and poked her forehead with two fingers.

"Energy Transfer."

"Hey! What the hell did you do to me?" Yelled an angry Erza.

"Do you feel your power returning to you?" He asked, ignoring Erza's question. Erza stared at him in a confused manner but he was right, she could feel her power returning.

"The Rune Knights are on their way to pick them up, let's do our job and take this guild out," the blond stranger said as he pointed his sword to the rest of the dark guild."

Erza nodded and equipped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor. She used her telekinesis to raise the weapons littered on the floor and launched them toward some dark mages. The boy was using his speed to cut all who stood in his way. While in the air, Erza didn't notice a fireball heading toward her. The giant fireball hit her on her back causing her armor to break and her to fall. She was going to Requip again but was caught by the mystery blond.

"Seriously, I was only gone for like two minutes and I have to save you again?" The blonde asked as his eyes gazed down at hers causing her to blush.

"I-I was going to use Requip until you got in my way!" She yelled as she pushed him away. He just smiled at her causing her to blush deeply.

'Why am I blushing?'

"Well Freckleface, we got a couple of dark mages left, so stand back and relax I got this." The blond said as he closed his eyes and took a weird stance.

"We're not done yet!" Yelled a dark mage.

"We're going to kill you boy and have our fun with the girl!" Yelled another. More threats were thrown out there but were quickly silenced by their opponent.

"Sword Art: Invisible Blade Dance."

With his eyes glaring at his opponent, the blond swung his sword so swiftly that he left a series of afterimages. He then sheathed his sword, ignoring the sudden silence that had befallen the field in favour of the slow grind of metal. When his sword clicked into place, all his opponents fell down in bloody heaps.

Erza stared at the scene with shock plastered on her face. The wind finally seemed to regain its senses, moving in a soft breeze that ruffled his hair.

The blonde faced her with a smile, "If you want to know what I did, I'll tell you later. By the way, name's Naruto." He then pointed at the incoming Rune Knights, "Let's get paid for our hard work and go have some food in the next town over."

Erza just nodded and followed the blond stranger. As he talked with the rune knights she took in his features. His cerulean blue eyes and blond hair. His muscular jawline that made him look quite handsome. He wore a black long sleeve shirt folded to reach the bottom of his elbows. Dark blue jeans with his sheathed blade on the right side of his waist. He had his plain white sneakers on as well, overall he looked completely plain except for the sword, but Erza couldn't help but feel drawn to him.

"Hey, you ready to go?" Naruto said as he approached Erza with an envelope full of money, "Let's go get some food!"

As Naruto walked ahead, Erza followed him and couldn't keep herself from trying to solve the blond enigma.

'Who are you really?'

---------------

Erza woke up gasping for air.

"It seems I had another dream about you," Erza said as she pushed away her sheets and grabbed her knees tightly, "No matter how much I hate you, I can't keep myself from thinking of you."

Erza changed to her normal armor and went outside passing the decorated horn the villagers gave her after defeating that monster for them. She walked until she found a pond in the forest that reflected the crescent moon. Erza stared at the moon silently before she dryly chuckled.

"Our first date, my first kiss and my first time... all of them happened under a crescent moon." Erza reached out her arm as if attempting to grab it, "The day I vowed to kill you was under a crescent moon too."

Erza turned around and began walking away but didn't notice a blond watching her from on top of a branch she passed by on her way.

Naruto sat on top of the branch watching as the Titania walked her way back to the inn. On his lips was a small frown that displayed uncertainty, disappointment and little amusement. His eyes were dulled.

He stared at her retreating back upto when she vanished under the cover of darkness and trees.

His mouth curved to a frown as he placed a hand over his forehead. 'I'll be waiting Erza, do not disappoint me.'

With a little sigh, he let his hand drop, passing over his eyes and when it had passed fully, his red eyes were revealed, glowing in the darkness of the night and standing out in his dark form. In a stealthy move, he vanished, leaving behind a pair of falling leaves entwined with each other.

Story by Zeroexpo13 on Fanfiction.net. Personally, I do not like crossovers in which Naruto becomes a part of the world( as in in this story, Naruto uses magic, though I'd have liked him to use chakra), but this one's my favourite story.
