Naruto absentmindedly wiped away the small dribble of red from his nose. He had gotten excited when Lucy decided to write something down, but hadn't expected, "I want tobe in ur clothes like a girl pair."
There was no chance she knew about his female transformation technique, but it didn't help that his imagination ran overtime at the idea. Pausing, Naruto tried his best to correct the mistakes, making sure to put a rather big question mark at the end. When it went through, Makarov and Mirajane burst out laughing while Lucy buried her head in her hands, instantly bright red. Erza also had the most peculiar look on her face, like she couldn't believe what Lucy just wrote. Levy just laughed at her friend's expense and wrote down what she originally meant. Reading the updated version, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. That could have gotten messy pretty quickly if they hadn't been so understanding. Sakura-chan would have sent him through a wall for even thinking it. He didn't think Lucy would wana write him any more messages anytime soon.
Doing his best to compose himself, Naruto grabbed the pen and changed topics. "So, where am I?"
Seeing the message received, he saw Levy and Makarov quickly talk between themselves before settling on something. Her pen flashed as she wrote down a couple of lines quickly before letting them sink into the paper. A moment passed and then they appeared.
"Your in currently the guild Fairy Tail. The area though caled is Magnolia."
Frowning, Naruto tapped his chin. A guild called Fairy Tail? Magnolia? Just where is this place? Taking the pen, he wrote down his questions very carefully, not wanting to cause any confusion.
"Magnolia? Where is that located in regards to The Elemental Nations?"
It went through but took Levy a second to properly correct the words. Once fixed though, she frowned in confusion and looked up at him. Quickly checking something with Erza, she wrote down her reply slowly.
"I'm sorry, but none of us have ever heard of that place."
The fact her sentence had been correctly translated totally blew over Naruto's head as his eyes widened and his face paled slightly. Quickly snatching back the pen, he hurriedly wrote down, "How did I get here?"
Waiting for the group to discuss his appearance, he clenched his fists as he desperately tried to wait as patiently as he could. He was nearly biting his nails by the time Levy finished writing down her response. Grabbing the paper, he picked it up and read it as quickly as he could.
"Lucy found you. You seemed teleport to appear in the air by a whirlpool swirling air vortex."
Dropping the paper, Naruto tried to digest the information. If what he read was right, then someone sent him here via some crazy jutsu. Wracking his brains for answers, he didn't notice the gentle hands that rested lightly on his arms in support.
'Come on Naruto, what could have it been, what could it have been? I was with Kakashi-sensei at the time... I think I was too far from the village to have anyone else be there... wait, what about that cloaked guy standing over me? He would have just carried me though... But then there was that explosion..."

Groaning as his eyes clenched in thought, Mirajane and Lucy looked at each other worriedly while rubbing each arm respectively.
"Mira..."
The white haired girl couldn't say anything so she just shook her head in concern.
XxXxXxX
'Ok, ok, think back, if Kakashi was there, what could he maybe have done?'
Trying his best, Naruto started running through the list of techniques his teacher had. The fact Kakashi had copied something close to a thousand techniques though made things a bit tricky for the academically challenged boy.
'Come on Kakashi, what was there, what was there, what was... wait, what was that?'
Thinking back, Naruto dimly remembered the fight with him, Kakashi and that weird chick looking guy from the Akatsuki who had mouths in his hands. Didn't Kakashi do something weird back then? He did say something about trying to suck his head into something. And according to his memory, it did seem to distort the air...
Opening his eyes, he finally noticed the gentle hands on his arms. Pausing, he tried to think of the best way to handle such contact. Biting his lip, he settled for an awkward smile before reaching out for the pen again. Tapping the tip a few times, he started writing.
"So... I came through a crazy spiral in the air?"
Reading the question, Lucy nodded and stepped back, trying to imitate the thing she saw. It wasn't all that great a description, but it served its purpose. Nodding unhappily, Naruto sighed and looked at the floor.
'Well that's just great. It must have been Kakashi's... Kamui (Authority of the Gods), I think it was, unless it was that other weird guy above me but I doubt it.'
Rubbing his head, Naruto looked up and wrote down another question. "Can you take me to where I appeared?"
Lucy hesitated, looking at the old man. He shook his head and said something. Through the paper, he said, "Not today. It's a fair journey and it's late. Maybe tomorrow, weather permitting."
Huffing, Naruto didn't care if it was midnight, but there wasn't a lot he could do without a guide. So grabbing the pen, he asked another question.
"So how long have I been here?"
Mirajane took up the pen this time, her elegant handwriting gracing the page. "I've been caring for you for close to two days now."
Naruto's eyes widened as he read this. Two days? Even after being kicked around like a ragdoll by the Akatsuki, he was alright after a good night's sleep. Whatever brought him here must have really taken it out of him.
