A Lost Key:Reboot
It was a sunny day, which was quite unusual at this time of the year. Two blondes could be seen, walking through the crowd with their arms interlocked.
They were getting different looks from the crowd which was to be expected since the school 'queen' was walking side by side with the school 'outcast.'
Once the duo reached a more private area, the girl let go off the boy's hand and let out a deep breath of relief.
She stretched her arms lightly before opening her locker to get her belongings out. As soon as the small steel door of her locker opened, a pile of letters fell down at her feet. She looked dumbly at the letters before a tick mark appeared on her head.
"Geez, I hoped by now I would stop getting these love letters! How do they even get in when I lock them?!" She muttered a few other curse words before kicking the letters away.
The boy who was also busy getting his stuff out, just shrugged. He already knew it was coming, it was a daily thing.
"Naruto, why didn't they stop?!" She nagged, pointing her finger at the pile of 'rubbish' after getting no response from the boy.
"That's because this fake relationship is useless, I told you things are going to stay the same." He answered before closing his locker with a loud thud, showing his frustration to the poor thing.
"No Naruto, the letters are slowly decreasing you see?! Umm…" She looked at the pile of letters and cringed. "O-Only sixteen…" She smiled at him sheepishly which only earned a dull look from him.
"What? It's definitely better!"
"Well then that's awesome, Lucy-chan!" He snarled with sarcasm as he put off his jacket on the hanger.
"Hmp." Lucy huffed, taking off her hair band, letting her bright-blonde hair loose, that reached her shoulder gently. "Shouldn't you be happy? After all the most popular girl is your girlfriend." She smirked and batted her eyelashes and tried to look as flirty as she could master. "N.A.R.U.T.O -kun" She then hugged him, only to be pushed off almost immediately.
She faked a gasp and looked at him with hurtful eyes, but her act soon stopped when she thought she saw something that she least expected.
"Gosh Naruto, are you blushing? :O"
Naruto looked at her unfazed, or at least that's what she thought.
"I am not in the mood for your jokes, if you will please excuse me." He replied, slowly walking past her.
"Geez you are such a jerk! At least you could play along a bit? - Are you even listening?!" She stomped her foot in frustration, not receiving any response from him.
"No wonder everyone hates you!" She blurted out without having the motive to hurt him at all. Soon realization hit her as she saw him stop walking. She widened her eyes and put her hand on her mouth as Naruto looked back at her.
She froze for a brief moment before he turned around and continued to walk outside.
"W-Wait!" She quickly stopped him by the arm. "I didn't mean to say that!" She squeezed her eyes shut, ready for a yell from him which never came to her surprise.
"Forgive me?" She slightly opened on of her eyes and took a peek.
Naruto nodded and took his hands off her grip and left.
…
She stood there with a confused face, not realizing what that actually meant.
"So… is he angry?" She wondered out loud. Not getting any ideas, she just shrugged. "Oh well, it's just Naruto." She went back to her locker to get her P.E clothes out.
(Scene Change- Inside Gym)
Naruto stepped inside the Gym room and tried to spot any free exercise machines. He soon spotted on in the corner, which was by the windows away from the rest which was perfect to avoid any unnecessary attention.
He quickly made his way towards the machine and was about to jump on it but someone else rushed out of nowhere, pushing him aside and hopped on the exercise bike.
….
"Was pushing necessary? I was here first; you shouldn't have done that." Naruto asked normally, but the irritation was vibrant on his tone regardless how hard he tried to not show it.
The said figure gave him a bubbly smile in response which caused him to sweat drop.
Now that he took a closer look, he could see she had long white hair that reached her waist, wearing a white P.E dress that matched her hair. Judging by whatever he could see, he didn't really think she needed to use the bike with that toned stomach.
"But I got on it first." She spoke with an over the top sweet tone, clearly mocking him.
She then waited for a few seconds, expecting him to start some sort of argument to be able to talk to her more in the process. That's how all boys were anyways, always trying to find ways to talk to hot girls. However; she got no such response much to her surprise.
Naruto nodded and turned around, getting ready to leave.
"Hey!" She quickly called out seeing him a good few steps away. She hopped off the bike and approached him.
"What?"
"Don't 'what' me, aren't you meant to ask me for my number or something?" She asked as she moved a few of her hair locks with her finger.
Naruto realizing where this was going, didn't even bother to reply and was ready to leave again.
"Hey! Stop with that attitude will you?" She called out again, this time in a rather grumpy tone.
"Shut up chalkboard. I am not interested." Naruto spat back, getting irritated and losing his cool briefly.
She looked at him incredulously. This was the first time someone had called her a.. a… a freaking chalkboard!
"H-How dare you! I have a name you know?!" She growled.
"No I don't know." He replied dully.
"Well smart ass, my name is Mirajane!"
"Well very good. Now if you will excuse me."
"No, I told you mine, so you should give me your name." She demanded in a rather childish manner.
Naruto contemplated whether he should just leave or answer her question. Deciding the first choice was better since she seemed like superglue that wouldn't go off, he answered.
"My name's Naruto N-… Uzumaki"
She tilted her head in confusion as she clearly heard he was about to say something else but stopped himself.
"Ah… okay? So…"
"What?" Naruto questioned.
"Er… oh right, I am new here. Want to show me-"
"No, I can't show you around. Ask someone else." He interrupted, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her.
"Rude! Don't interrupt me like that." She huffed. "You should be privileged to be able even be considered by me as a guide."
"Forget him, how about I show you around?"
Mirajane was slightly startled from the pair of sweaty hands around her shoulder.
"The names Sasuke, Sasuke freaking Uchiha."
…
"You stink, move." She shoved his hand off her, glaring daggers at him momentarily, before shifting her attention towards Naruto.
"Why are you acting like a jerk with a stick up your ass?" Mirajane growled as she toed up to him closer, glaring.
Naruto pushed her lightly as she walked back a few steps.
"Did you just!" She gasped.
"Shut up and stay away from me." He was then gone, not sparing another look at her as she stared at him in disbelief. She was practically shaking with anger after he exited the gym.
"Don't mind him. He acts quite defensive for a reason." Sasuke said with a sigh.
"And what might that be?!" She growled, pouring her frustration for the blonde to the Uchiha.
"Everyone hates him in this academy. You can say he is the class outcast." Sasuke explained in a much more serious tone compared to his flirty approach. "It's better if you stay away from him. You don't want to be marked as-"
"Why do people hate him? Well yeah he sure acts like a jerk, but there are many jerks in this world, so any particular reason?" She questioned, interrupting the Uchiha.
The black haired teen sighed as he scratched his hair, feeling slightly offended by being asked about another boy from him when she should be concentrating on him.
"Let's just say he is not as popular, hot, sexy… charming as me." He replied with a cocky attitude as he moved closer to her, with a smirk on his face. "Let's go on a date."
Mirajane didn't seem fazed the least.
"And who told you that? Your mother?" She deadpanned.
"Come on, you know you want to go on a date with me. Cut the playing hard to get, and let's go." He spoke in a 'as a matter of fact' tone.
She already hated him.
"Sure."
His eyes lit up as he opened his mouth and was moving forward to give her a hug.
"Only if you can defeat me in a duel."
…
"Huh?"
(Scene Change)
"Well then, I will see you later." Lucy bid farewell after her and Naruto finished their 'acting' for the day. She hopped on her car that was parked outside. She opened the window, looking at Naruto. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
Naruto nodded. "I got some work. I will see you later."
…
"Whatever. Let's go." Lucy spoke to her driver as they drove off.
Naruto stood silently briefly, waiting for the car to go out of normal watching distance.
"You can come out now." He spoke.
"Heh, are you still stuck guarding that little princess?" A young boy with short brown hair, thin eyebrows and brownish-orange eyes spoke as he flew out of the bushes around, with his arms around his head and a leopard patterned green coloured pillow helping him to levitate in air. His attire consisted of a long orange and aqua sweatshirt with a hood and navy blue sleeves, quarter-length navy blue pants and short boots with large buttons matching his hoodie.
"What are you doing here? You should be back with Satoshi… King."
The young boy shrugged as he landed on his feet, the pillow shining briefly before it changed into a spear.
"Stop swinging the Chastiefol around in the open. We are near the academy." Naruto pointed with a frown.
"Whatever, captain said something about you being targeted. So be careful." King informed, slowly turning his weapon back to the pillow shape.
"Oh…" Naruto pondered over briefly. 'Does this mean they are on the run?'
"Anyways, that's all I came to inform. Ban was supposed to come, but he got in a fight with Merlin and… let's just say he is stuck in stabbing himself again and again."
Naruto chuckled to that. "She doesn't hold back does she?"
King shrugged. "His fault picking a fight with a Dark Matter user."
King eyed him briefly before sighing. "Mystic 7, have you met them recently?"
Naruto tilted his head slightly. "Why?"
"You should be in touch with them. I know you don't want to associate anyone in your problems but its high time. Think about other consequences if anything were to happen to you."
Naruto knew what he was talking about. He didn't need a reminder. He tightened his fist in frustration.
"You can go."
King rolled his eyes as he flew away back to the bushes.
Naruto groaned after a while and began to make his way back home.
(Scene Change)
"Lock… on!"
Laser beams showered from all direction above, aimed at the blonde teenager who stood in the middle of the stadium, staring above being temporarily blinded by the flashy beams slowly approaching him.
"Counter Bastard! Die!" Another boy yelled angrily, rushing towards him with fire bursting out of his palm as he gained momentum. He had spiky blonde hair and a nasty smirk on his face, accompanied with piercing red eyes.
"Kacchan!" Another boy called out with urgency as he tried to warn him. He had curly hair with green highlights and a rather plain looking face.
The blonde boy who was standing in between the offence from the laser beams and the fire burst punches, chuckled.
"Full counter!" The boy swung his broken sword towards the attacks which caused a huge explosion as the whole stadium brightened with multitude of attacks multiplied by more.
Full counter enables him to reflect attacks back at the enemy with more than double the power depending upon how much he wanted it to be. The stronger the enemy power, the stronger the reflection is, making it a deadly defence and offence at the same time.
"You have to do better than that." The blonde spoke as he jumped up, dodging a sword aimed at his stomach. He landed on the top of the sword as the user easily kept the sword in flight despite his body weight being laid.
"As I said…" He widened his eyes briefly, sensing the approaching threat from behind.
"SMASH!"
He didn't have enough time to use his sword and tanked the shockwave that the user created with the flick of his thumb.
"A-Ah… I didn't mean to!" The guy with green eyes and black curly hair with green highlights, stuttered.
"Konoya." The blonde chuckled, despite his bones having fractured on the impact.
He stood up back on his feet swiftly, brushing off the dirt from his pants.
"Where do you think… you are looking!" The guy with spiky ash blonde hair growled, as he approached him from behind with his right arm charged with devastating fire blast.
"Howitzer…Impact!" He dashed in air and created two explosions with his hands, causing him to spin around from the rotational force made from it, building momentum for a devastating explosive tornado.
"Revenge counter."
His eyes widened seeing the blonde's palm faced against him. On impact, everything went blank on his mind as he slowly lost consciousness.
"M-Meliodas-san!" Izuku, the boy with the greenish black hair stuttered seeing his friend in the ground, unconscious.
"You killed Kacchan!"
"That was just your attack from earlier. You killed him." Meliodas replied innocently which shocked the poor boy.
He was about to have a mental breakdown until Meliodas chuckled.
"As if I would kill someone during a training session." He began. "Oi Merlin, dispel the barrier!" He called out, as a purple barrier around them slowly disappeared and the stadium was back to the original ground where they stood.
"Fix him up. I am done for today." Meliodas put his arms around his head as he walked past the three teenager.
"Meliodas-san, thanks a lot for the help!" Izuku thanked the blonde to which his waved his arm, his back turned against him. "It's no big deal. If you want to join the Nanatsu No Taizai, you will need it."
Izuku nodded as he looked at his friends unconscious body.
'We are not even close to ready…'
"Stop thinking too much." A girl approached him which earned his attention. She took out her helmet, revealing long red hair which reached her knees.
She had a long rifle tied around her back.
"Looks like we couldn't even scratch him…" Izuku began which earned a light punch on his head from the girl.
"Baka, your attack connected with him." She explained to which he shook his head.
"Not at all… he took the attack on purpose noticing Kacchan approaching him… it's his way of saying he didn't even need to use his powers to take on us."
The girl slightly widened her eyes from the revelation. She looked at Meliodas who was a good distance away from them, talking to a boy who flew around him on a pillow.
"They…. Are strong." She acknowledged.
"I know… they are like the Mystic 7… if not stronger to some extent." Izuku replied before letting out a sigh. "How are we even going to get there! Damn!" He nagged which caused her to laugh.
"Don't laugh at me Rias-san!"
(THE END)
Author's Note: Well here's the first chapter of the re-boot! Few thinks to note, while it will follow all that happened in the first time I published this story, it will have a lot of things added and changed at the same time. The addition of Seven Deadly sins and Boku no Hero cast being one of them. They will play a major role on the Four Kings arc(For those who read it before).
I know it can be slightly annoying to re-read the 37 chapters, but I will try my best to flavor it and make it an enjoyable read.
