Mirajane shook her head, just as confused as her friend. "I wouldn't know sorry. But to appear from thin air like that... I've never heard of teleportation magic like that. Especially if it was causing him pain."
Mirajane let out a light breath as she watched the blond boy interact with the Master. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as an idea came to mind. "Lucy, would you mind going and finding Levy for me? If there's anyone who could find out a way to talk to Naruto-san, it'd be her."
Lucy's eyes widened as she heard the suggestion. "Good thinking Mira-chan! I'll be right back."
Dashing up the stairs, Lucy looked over her shoulder as she heard her well natured friend let out a loud, pretty laugh. Reaching the main dining hall, Lucy skidded to a stop before looking around. Seeing a tuft of blue locks, she smiled before calling out and running over.
"Levy! There you are. Can I get you to come with me quickly?"
The girl looked up from the book she was reading. Seeing one of her close friends, she smiled brightly and waved.
"Lucy! What's going on?"
Reaching her, Lucy threw a thumb over her shoulder at the door she came from. "That boy we found has finally woken up! You'll never guess what though, he speaks a different language!"
Instantly, Levy's eyes widened exponentially in glee. "No WAY! THAT IS SO COOL!"
"Shh, shh!" Lucy put her hands out, shushing her friend. "I don't think master wants everyone to know just yet."
Blushing, Levy scratched her cheek. "Oh, sorry. I get carried away sometimes. But yeah, take me to him!"
"Mmmm!"
Gathering her stuff, Levy handed half of it to Lucy and they started walking. "So has he done anything cool yet?"
Lucy shook her head. "No, not really. We found out his name though! It was... Naruko... or something. Oh, and he's really strong too. I shook his hand and he nearly crushed mine without even meaning too! Erza almost attacked him for that though..."
Both girls imagined the outcome and shivered. "Yeah, we wouldn't really want that to happen."
Quickly shaking off the gloom, Lucy smiled as they neared the door. "It's ok but, I convinced Erza it was just a mistake. Mira-chan was actually the one who came up with the idea to get you down to see if you can do anything about the language barrier."
Levy giggled happily at the prospect. "I hope so! I love a good challenge."
Walking down the stairs and through the doors, both girls stopped dead and dropped their jaws with everyone else in the room as they watched Naruto tucking into what seemed like his fifth bowl of food, if the empty plates were anything to go by. Quickly licking the remaining crumbs from the plate, he handed the dirty ones to Mirajane as she passed him a full new plate. He sent her a beaming smile before nearly inhaling the most recent plate.
"He's a hungry one!"
Sweat dropping at the girl's casual remark, Lucy turned and whispered into her friend's ear. "I take what I said back. Here's something interesting about him, he's a bottomless pit."
Giggling into her hand, Levy nodded and walked over to an unoccupied table. Spreading out her things, she waved Lucy over. "I have an idea that may work. Just let me get my pen and a piece of paper and we'll get started."
XxXxXxX
Naruto nodded his thanks to Mirajane as she passed him another load of food. He had absolutely no idea what this stuff he was eating was, but it was delicious! Obviously it was no ramen, but still pretty damn good. Finishing off the plate, he sent his new most favourite girl in the whole world a charming smile while waving the plate, asking for more. When he didn't get a response, he opened his eyes and saw a small blue haired girl standing before him.
Her shoulder length hair was pulled back with an orange bandana and her lithe body was covered by a short, orange one piece dress with white straps to hold it up. Like the other women he'd met thus far, she seemed to have rather large eyes, hers being a light brown. Having another look at her lovely dress, he smiled happily. This was the second person who knew the wonders of the magical colour orange. He was rather quickly warming to these new people. They knew good clothes. Patting himself on the chest, he grinned at her.
"Naruto!"
Seeing her giggle, she nodded and repeated the motion. "Levy."
She then proceeded to lay out a sheet of paper before him and pulled a pen from within her blouse. As Naruto looked down at it curiously, the girl wrote some strange glyphs down and pointed at them.
"Naruto!"
"Eh?"
He looked at her blankly. Sighing patiently, Levy pointed at him, then at the marks.
"Naruto!"
Thinking for a second, Naruto nodded slowly. It seemed she had written his name down. Seeing him begin to understand, Levy then handed him the pen. Looking at it curiously, she made a writing movement in the air, pointed at the paper and said his name again. Holding the pen out hesitantly, he looked at her. Seeing her nod and say his name once more, Naruto wrote his name down as neatly as possible. It seemed the girl had something planned. Smiling thankfully at him, she took her pen back and then placed her hands on the paper.
