A Job With She-Devil 5

"A spar about which no one knows." Said Naruto, even more, appeasing to the old man. That managed to make a smile appear on Makarov's face.

'Better. This way, no one will make a fuss about this and Laxus… I hope that child learns his lesson and change a leaf,' thought Makarov, concerned about his grandson.

The path he is taking is not a good one, for him or the Guild and though Makarov wanted to correct it, he wants Laxus to learn on his own. Like Naruto said about the world.

"We have an accord, Naruto." Said Makarov and searched through his drawer and took out a paper and stamped it.

"Here. In this paper lay the details of the job you asked for. Be careful, Naruto. That's a decade once job and was told to be dangerous." Said with a serious face and Naruto eagerly took it.

Though he felt he touched 2 papers, he shrugged it off to it being a long job request to describe and gave Makarov a megawatt smile. After all, it is the original who need to study and he is not going to spoil the fun for him.

"Thanks, Gramps. I promise to spar you after I take Sirius on another job as well," said Naruto.

"Sirius and Loke will be a team for the time being and do jobs. I already told Sirius about this and he agreed. Take care of him for me in my absence, Gramps," added Naruto and Makarov nodded. After all, Sirius is also his family.

"Of course, child. Don't worry," assured Makarov. With a nod, Naruto left his office and as soon as he left, Makarov burst into laughter.

'Yes. Yes. I did it. Poor Naruto, or rather, poor Mira. She unknowingly became part of a bigger ploy,' thought Makarov in glee. Why the old man is happy, he should only know.

With the Original

His clone dispelled and the job request was safely teleported to his storage scroll, where Naruto intends to keep it till he meet Mira and talk about the job.

"So, what do you two plan on doing?" Asked Naruto.

"Why we two? Where are you going?" Asked Loke, catching up to his words? Naruto smiled widely at him.

"Because, for the time being, you two are going to be a team. As I'm going on another job," he added and they entered the Guildhall.

"Hey, it's Naruto with the new guy." Yelled Natsu, with far more excitement than Naruto expected.

"Hey, new guy. Fight me." Yelled Natsu, his fists blazing with fire.

"Not now, Natsu. We're busy," said Loke.

"Huh? You are not fighting anyone. Then how are you busy?" Asked Natsu. Apparently according to Natsu's logic, if you are not fighting, then that counts as being free.

"Well, we are discussing team business," said Sirius in a bored tone.

"Hey Sirius, do you want fishy?" Asked Happy, flying towards Sirius.

"We'll have so much time to share fishies, Happy. So you enjoy for now," said Sirius, looking at Naruto. The jab didn't make Naruto angry though.

After all, he just went on a job though he left a clone, he knew it can't replace the real him and now he is going on another job so soon.

Not that he is opposed to taking him, but he thought the better of it since the job will be dangerous to Mira herself as Makarov put it and he doesn't want to put Sirius in harm's way.

"Why? Are we going on a job together?" Asked Gray, patting his coat. Though he liked the coat, it could keep him cold for so long and its use seems to have run out.

He carries it around but does not wear it as his body fully got accustomed to the temperature and it just became a jacket to wear around for him.

But since summer is coming, he is keeping it around, thinking of using it if it gets too hot for him. Though with Natsu around, he practically feels summer every day.

"Not like that. I'm going on a job with Mira and he is going to be with Loke for the time being," explained Naruto and Gray looked at Naruto as if he got a second head.

"What? You are going with Mira!" He asked in shock.

"Yup. The one and only" replied Naruto with a smile.
