Hello loyal readers! I honestly don't have much to say about this particular story, I liked it, I wanted to get some feedback. I hope you enjoy it!
LET THE READING COMMENCE!
"Tou-san, where are we going?" Moka Akashiya asked her father as they approached a ornate castle. It was adorned with multiple fox decorations, even having fox statues sitting at the entrance. Said man looked down at his daughter.
"I told you, Moka, we are visiting an old friend of your mother and I." Issa Shuzen replied. He and his family entered the massive estate, being greeted by fox familiars. Issa smiled slightly at the sight of his old friend coming down the stairs. He had spiky blonde hair that framed his rather handsome face and blue eyes that had a unique warmness in them. He wore a regal white coat with red flames licking the bottom. Beneath the coat he wore black pants with a navy blue long sleeved shirt that showed past the short sleeves of the coat. He quickly moved to intercept the visitors.
"Issa, you old bat, took you long enough!" the blonde haired man shouted as he embraced his old friend. Issa hesitantly hugged him back.
"It would've taken less time if you had been more specific in telling me where your castle was, Minato." Issa replied. Minato scoffed.
"I didn't think I needed to be specific. How many castles with fox statues are there in Japan?" he shot back. Issa nodded. Minato looked around his friend and saw his children. "and who are these lovely ladies?" he asked. Issa motioned for them to come forward.
"These are my children, Akua, Kahlua, Moka, and Kokoa. The woman next to them is my lover, Akasha."
"So you finally found someone who can put up with you." Minato teased. Issa smirked slightly.
"I could say the same to you." he replied, pointing to the staircase. Minato turned and saw his wife Kushina walking down with their son Naruto close behind. His wife was truly a vision to behold. Beautiful red hair that cascaded down to her calves, violet eyes that held genuine kindness in them, and a figure that men would drool over. She wore a regal red kimono with flower petals decorating it. The boy following behind her looked very much like his father, only sporting what looked like whisker marks on his cheeks, three on each side. His spiky blonde hair was shorter than that of his father, his blue eyes containing simple innocence in them. He wore a blood red keikogi with a black belt tied around his waist. He sported two red fox ears atop his head and a single tail swishing back and forth behind him. They walked up to the guests, with Naruto eyeing the little girls curiously.
"Minato-kun, Naruto-chan has finished his training for the day. I was unaware that we would have guests." Kushina said as she leaned into her husband. Minato wrapped an arm around her, putting his other hand on Naruto's head.
"Issa, this is Kushina, my wife, and Naruto, my son." Kushina smiled and bowed politely to the man and his family, while Naruto grinned and waved. Kushina nudged Naruto.
"Naruto-chan, can you be a good host and show the girls around the castle?" Kushina asked. Naruto nodded.
"Come on!" Naruto said, leading the girls away from the adults. When they were out of sight, Minato smiled.
"It really is good to see you again, Issa."
"Indeed." Kushina looked to Akasha.
"Are you Issa-san's wife?" the woman smiled.
"Not yet." Akasha answered, making Issa look at her nervously. Minato laughed at his friend's predicament, while the girls giggled at Issa's nervous expression.
Hallway
Naruto led the girls through a hallway that was directly connected to the foyer, where their parents currently were. Naruto turned and led them into an elaborate dining hall, where he stopped.
"I just realized I don't know any of you guys' names." he said, rubbing the back of his head. "I'm Naruto Namikaze. What's your names?"
"I'm Akua." the eldest stated in a tone similar to Issa's own.
"Call me Kahlua, Naruto-kun!" the dark-skinned one stated happily.
"Kokoa." the shortest one said simply.
"I'm Moka. Nice to meet you." the silver-haired one said. As soon as she introduced herself, Naruto was right in front of her, surprising the tiny vampire. What was even more surprising was that Naruto began sniffing her. "W-What are you doing?" she asked. Naruto continued to sniff her.
"You smell good." was all the blonde said, confusing all of them. Kahlua ventured a sniff of her younger sister.
"I don't smell anything."
"Weird." Naruto said as he finished sniffing the red-eyed youth. Naruto grinned and turned around, his tail once more swishing in excitement. "This is the dining room. It's really big for some reason." he said enthusiastically. He continued to lead the young vampiresses around the castle, pointing out things that he thought important, leading them to rather impressive rooms. Eventually, they came to what looked like a dojo. "This is our dojo. It's where Kaa-chan and Tou-san teach me to use my powers. Kaa-chan and I just came from here, that's why I'm still wearing my keikogi." he explained to them. The girls noted that there were various cracks and holes in the wall. Naruto followed their gazes and, seeing the damage, laughed nervously, once again sheepishly rubbing his head. "I'm still working on my speed…"
"You mean you made all of those?" Moka asked. Naruto nodded, his ears twitching, which drew the attention of the red-eyed girl. She absently moved her right hand up and scratched behind the ear and drew a mewl of pleasure from the Kitsune. She continued absently scratching behind the blonde's ears, constantly drawing out purring noises from the young Kitsune. Akua nudged her sister slightly, breaking her from her trance. She retracted her hand from the boy's ears, drawing a mewl of disappointment from the young Kitsune.
"He can't show us around if you keep distracting him." she reminded. Moka blushed as she realized what she was just doing and nodded. Naruto, finally out of the pleasure induced stupor, continued on with the tour, his tail wagging a bit more happily.
Minato's Den
Minato, Kushina, Issa, and Akasha were seated around this room that functioned as Minato's office.
"Your son has quite a powerful aura for a Ichibi Kitsune." Akasha commented to Kushina.
"Yes. It seems to be a characteristic of my side of the family. We have always had a bit more power than other Kitsune do, isn't that right, Minato-kun?"
"Don't remind me." Minato grumbled, rubbing his side in remembrance, "I'm just glad you calmed down when Naruto was born…"
"What was that, Koishii?" Kushina asked with a sweet smile and a dark aura surrounding her. Minato gulped.
"Nothing, Kushina-chan!" Issa chuckled.
"Anyway, the same could be said for your daughter, Moka. She is a bit young to have awakened to her Shinso heritage." Minato said, suddenly looking serious. Issa nodded.
"Certain events have… advanced her powers."
"Alucard." Minato stated. Issa nodded.
"Yes. As you know, Akasha transferred her Shinso powers to Moka after she was born to keep her alive." Issa stated. Minato nodded.
"What do you want, Issa?"
"Only you are skilled enough to create a seal strong enough to seal away her power. If she ever fully awakens it, it would reveal her to Alucard, and I cannot let that happen." Issa said. He suddenly looked sad. "I don't want to do this, Minato, but I don't have a choice!" Akasha held her husband's hand. Minato stood up.
"Alright. I'll make you a seal, but don't use it unless you have to. I'm not as proficient in western seals as I am in eastern." he said as he began fumbling through various items in his study. He pulled out a scroll and unrolled it onto his desk. Kushina handed him an ornate cross with a red gem in the center of it (Moka's Rosario). He took it from her with a smile and laid it down in the center of the ornate array of sealing symbols on the scroll. He motioned for Akasha to come over to him.
"What is it, Minato-san?" she questioned.
"It's your Shinso blood, right?" seeing her nod, he continued, "Then I need a sample of your blood so that the seal knows what to lock out." Akasha nodded and pricked her finger with a fang and let some of the blood drip down onto the Rosario. As soon as it landed, the sealing array began to glow and Minato began making hand signs at a rapid pace, chanting as he did. The array of seals began to move closer to the Rosario, being absorbed into the object. In time, the array completely disappeared into the Rosario. Minato lifted the Rosario off of the now blank paper and handed it to Akasha. "Just so you know, This might have some side effects. The suppressor seal I put into the Rosario wasn't meant to be sealed into another object. It's more of a direct apply type." he warned. Akasha nodded, tucking away the Rosario. At that moment, Naruto burst through the door with the girls following him.
"And this is Tou-san's den! He makes all of his awesome seals in here!" Naruto announced. The girls noticed their parents staring at them and moved over to them, while Naruto jumped up on his mother's lap. She patted his head and smiled. Minato smiled at the other occupants in the room.
"Issa, will you be staying for dinner?"
"We wouldn't want to impose…" Akasha started, only to be cut off by Kushina.
"It's no trouble. Besides, Naruto-chan so rarely gets to be around people his own age who aren't afraid of him." she said with a smile, patting Naruto's head. Naruto smiled at Moka, who blushed and looked away, something the adults noticed. Akasha and Kushina looked at one another and smiled. This was going to be interesting.
After an elaborate dinner, Issa was curious as to Naruto's combat strength, so he proposed that Naruto fight Moka, as Kokoa wasn't powerful enough, and he feared that Akua was too powerful. They both agreed.
Naruto and Moka were currently in the dojo, with their families watching them carefully from the sidelines. Moka charged forward, attacking with an axe kick. Naruto jumped back to avoid the monstrous kick and catapulted himself towards the still descending Moka with blinding speed. He firmly planted a knee in her gut and threw her to the floor. He looked down at her sadly. Moka, thinking it was pity for her "weakness", charged to him with a roar. Naruto, taken a bit off guard at her sudden recovery, wrapped his tail around her leg, tripping her. He looked down at her once more.
"Why do you keep staring at me like that?" she shouted at the young Kitsune, who rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"I don't like hurting pretty girls…" he muttered. Moka heard him, however, and she blushed a shade of red deeper than Kushina's hair. Off to the side, Akasha and Kushina giggled.
"It seems our children have crushes on one another." Akasha whispered to Kushina, who grinned.
"I know. It's so cute!" she replied, also whispering. Issa, meanwhile, was very impressed with Naruto's unbelievable speed.
"Minato, what have you been teaching the boy?" he asked, amazed, "No Ichibi Kitsune is ever this developed this early in their life."
"Ask Kushina-chan. She's been drilling Naruto in Taijutsu since he was able. He has the fighting capabilities of a Nibi Kitsune, at least in the physical sense. He'll catch up to me in a few years at the rate he's learning." Issa looked at his friend, amazed.
"That boy will be a terror when he comes of age." he stated as Naruto and Moka began a light-hearted spar, neither of them really attempting to hurt one another.
At the end of the day, Kushina instructed Naruto to show the girls to their rooms. Moka, coincidentally, got the room right next to Naruto's own. After another embarrassing sniffing situation, Moka bolted into her room with an enormous blush on her face. She looked back at the door as she sat on the bed. Her thoughts immediately drifted back to the young Kitsune, and he was the subject of her dreams for that night, and many nights to come.
Naruto, meanwhile, had changed into a pair of black boxers and a black t-shirt that had an image of a nine-tailed fox on it. He crawled into his sizeable bed and stared at the ceiling, his mind drifting to the young vampiress that smelled so good.
10 Years Later
Moka Akashiya was speeding down the road on her bike when she suddenly crashed into a boy wearing the same school uniform as her. He had unkempt black hair and was fairly average looking. She slowly sat up, a tad dizzy.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying…attention…" she trailed off, catching the scent of the boy's blood. She was about to bite in when another scent overpowered the scent of the blood. A scent she'd not smelled in a long time.
"My, my, Moka-chan, replaced me already, have you?" a deep voice said behind her. She turned around and saw a handsome blonde haired young man. He gave her a fox-like grin. She smiled and glomped the teen.
"Naruto-kun!" she exclaimed happily. He hugged the pink-haired vampire happily and spun her around. "You've gotten so tall! You look so much like Minato-sama now!" she said. It was true. Naruto indeed looked similar to his father. His hair was a bit longer, though still not to his father's length, his whiskers were less deep, though still clearly visible, and he was now much taller than her, his chin being over her head. His eyes now contained the same warmth that Moka saw in his father's eyes, though there was still that hint of mischievousness in them. Naruto put her down and looked at the petite vampiress. She had filled out quite nicely over the years, he noted, and her hair had changed from that exotic silver to a vibrant pink, her eyes changed from the enchanting red slitted pupil to a vibrant green that just screamed innocent.
"You've changed too, Moka-chan. You look like Akasha-dono now. I gotta say, though, I miss the eyes. Made you look so dangerous, though I do like the innocent look." he said with a grin that made her blush. The two were directed back to the ground when the boy that Moka ran over stood up with a groan. Moka immediately rushed to his side and helped him up, Naruto grabbing Moka's bike.
"Are you alright?" she asked the young man. He nodded.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." the boy stuttered, clearly unused to being around someone as beautiful as Moka. Naruto smirked. 'Oh, this is gonna be FUN…' Naruto thought with an evil chuckle, which went unnoticed by Moka and the boy, who said his name was Tsukune Aono. The trio made their way to the entrance ceremony, which Naruto mostly tuned out, his thoughts being drawn back to the girl he had a crush on for all those years, and even now still harbored feelings for. After the entrance ceremony, the students went to their respective homerooms. Naruto sat in the middle of the room, mostly ignoring the students around him, only idly noticing that Tsukune was in class with him. Naruto noticed the poorly concealed feline features that his teacher possessed. Naruto perked up a bit when he heard a voice apologizing for being late. The girl entered the room to reveal Moka. Immediately, the guys in the class began fawning over the young vampiress. Moka smiled at seeing Tsukune, but when she saw Naruto she ran over to him and hugged him, which he returned.
"Naruto-kun! We're in the same class!" she shouted happily. Naruto smiled at the pink-haired girl. He immediately felt the glares of the boys in the class fall upon him, so he responded back with a slight burst of Youki, a small amount for him, but enough to significantly frighten most of the weaklings in the room, including Tsukune, who felt like someone had dropped a truck on top of him.
"Can you two lovebirds sit down so that I can continue?" the teacher asked politely. Moka blushed at what the teacher called them, but Naruto just grinned.
"Sure, sensei. Come on, Moka-chan, we can do this later." he said. Moka blushed again and took her seat. The teacher continued on with her lecture about the true purpose of the academy, which Naruto found to be a tad counter-intuitive. If the purpose of the academy is to teach harmonization between Ayakashi and humans, why would you kill any human that stumbled upon the academy? Why not just erase their memories like his father did to people who found their castle?
"Why can't we just eat all the humans?" a boy who looked like the stereotypical thug said. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Because if we did that, they'd obviously notice and try to annihilate us. So unless you want your last meal to be human, you might want to control that pathetic bloodlust." Naruto idly commented. The teen looked back at the blonde and glared at him. Naruto didn't even feel the need to meet his eyes, instead looking at Moka. After the teacher finished her explanation, the students were dismissed, allowed to familiarize themselves with the campus. Moka, in her kindness, offered to show the obviously nervous Tsukune around the school. Naruto went along with the excited vampiress, still finding the obvious glares directed at him and Tsukune amusing. Tsukune, however, looked like the glares were slowly killing him, and if Naruto's nose was right, they would. Tsukune's scent was human. Naruto was surprised that Moka didn't notice, but he remembered what his father said about the Rosario having "side effects". Naruto felt Moka stop dragging him and Tsukune along and looked up. He saw that same moron who wanted to kill all of the humans. Naruto sighed, hearing the guy go on about how she should be with him. The teen, who told Moka his name was Saizo, saw Naruto and growled, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off the ground, scaring Tsukune in the process.
"Hey." Naruto interrupted the teen, still completely relaxed. "Put me down."
"Or what?" Naruto said nothing, merely gripping Saizo's arm. A loud snap was heard and he dropped Naruto to the floor, the blonde landing on his feet. He followed up with a kick to Saizo's stomach, sending the teen into the wall. Naruto looked back at Moka and a stunned Tsukune.
"On with the tour, right?" he said with a grin. Moka shook her head at her friend with a smile. Tsukune was still stunned at the small display of strength. Moka grabbed the two teens' hands and continued to drag them around the school.
"Naruto-san, how did you do that?" Tsukune questioned as they walked towards their dorm. Naruto looked at him.
"What, take down Saizo? Ayakashi like him are all size, no real power. He's a pushover for more powerful Ayakashi, like me or Moka-chan."
"W-What are you guys?" he questioned. Naruto and Moka stopped to look back at the boy. Naruto smirked.
"Ah, but that would be telling, Tsukune-san. Besides, it's against school policy to reveal your true form." Naruto reminded. Tsukune nodded, as did Moka. They came to a stop in front of a dreary old building that looked more like a haunted house than a dorm room.
"They expect us to live here?" Tsukune shouted in shock. Naruto grinned.
"I think it looks cool."
"Yeah, Tsukune-kun! Besides, this place is an Ayakashi's dream!" Moka stated happily. Tsukune looked down in dismay.
The Next Day
Tsukune was not having a good day. First he writes a letter of withdrawal to the headmaster, but can't bring himself to deliver it, and now he's pinned to a wall by Saizo, being threatened to stay away from Moka. He shut his eyes, waiting for the pain to come, but it never did. He heard a loud crack and opened his eyes to see Saizo on the ground, with Naruto in front of him.
"Hands off the boy, ogre." Naruto said seriously. Saizo's eyes widened at what Naruto called him. Seeing his questioning gaze, Naruto tapped his nose. "I'm not going to give you another chance. I see you around him or Moka again, there won't be enough of you to fit into a matchbox." he finished darkly, then turned back to Tsukune with a smile on his face. He helped the boy up. "You alright?"
"Why are you helping me?" he asked the grinning blonde. Naruto tapped his nose again, making Tsukune's eyes widen. He was about to panic, but Naruto put his hand over his mouth, keeping him quiet.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Y-You're not going to tell on me?"
"I don't see a reason why I should. If I did, they'd just kill you. That's a bit counter intuitive to the true purpose of the school, and I'd rather not help on that. Besides, you're my friend, Tsukune, and I always protect my friends." Tsukune smiled at the grinning teen.
"Thank you."
The day went by rather quickly, with Tsukune trying to adjust to his new predicament. Naruto and Moka were a lot of help, though. Tsukune and Moka went for a walk around the academy while Naruto went off to do something, Tsukune wasn't really sure what. Unfortunately, though, the walk wasn't exactly pleasant.
"Moka-san!" Tsukune shouted as he was thrown into a tombstone, causing his head to start bleeding.
"Tsukune-kun!" Moka was lifted off the ground by a transformed Saizo. His tongue slithered up close to her face, making her shut her eyes, but before it made contact, Saizo was sent flying into a tree. Moka felt herself being held up. She opened her eyes and saw Naruto holding her bridal style, looking down at her with soft eyes.
"Are you alright, Moka-chan?" he asked, voice full of concern. She nodded and moved in closer to the blonde. He smiled and let her down after a moment. Saizo stood up with a roar, glaring at the blonde, who merely smirked. "Ordinarily, I'd just kill you myself, but I think, after being nearly violated, that Moka-chan deserves the opportunity." Naruto said, his hand grasping the Rosario around Moka's neck. He smirked. "Goodbye, Saizo." he pulled the Rosario off of the collar around Moka's neck. An enormous demonic aura enveloped Moka, her body rapidly changing. Her hair paled to an exotic silver, her eyes turning red and becoming slitted, her fangs growing in length. In the end, Tsukune, Saizo, and Naruto were staring at a fully powered vampire. The now released Moka leaned into Naruto's muscled frame and sighed. Naruto raised a brow at the vampiress' behavior as she traced a finger along his neck.
"Mmm… Naruto-kun, it's been awhile." Moka said, her voice deeper, more seductive than before.
"Indeed it has, Moka-chan. It seems to me that ogre over there wants something with you." he said to the vampire, who gazed at the ogre dispassionately, then sighed. She reluctantly removed herself from Naruto's form and slowly walked towards the fuming ogre.
"You said you wanted me, yes? Then come and take me, if you think you can." Saizo charged at Moka with a roar. She smirked, not even attempting to move. His hand made contact with her, but she didn't move an inch. She gripped his hand and jumped up, delivering a powerful kick to the ogre's face, sending him flying across the field, breaking several trees along the way. He landed with a groan, still alive, but not exactly conscious.
"Know your place." she said, staring looking disgustedly at his prone form. She moved back over towards Naruto, who was helping up Tsukune. Moka sniffed Tsukune for a moment, smelling his blood, and suddenly looked surprised. "You're human."
"I…Uh…"
"Yeah, he is, Moka-chan, but he's still our friend." Naruto said to the sultry vampire. Moka nodded with a slight smile on her face, then moved back over to the blonde, who once again raised a brow at her actions. "Something wrong?"
"No, nothing wrong… I'm just so hungry, and you smell so good…" she said to the blonde, who actually chuckled. He slackened his tie and unbuttoned the very top, spreading it out. He craned his neck.
"Then go right ahead. What are friends for?" he said with a grin. Moka leaned in and bit into his neck, moaning at the taste of his blood. Tsukune looked away from the spectacle, preferring not to see one of his friends feasting on his other friend. Naruto, meanwhile, had one hand around her waist, holding her closer to his body. His other hand was on her head, encouraging her to feed. In time, she withdrew her fangs and began licking at the marks, lapping up any blood left over, only to have the holes immediately seal up. She pulled away from his neck, but Naruto kept their bodies pressed together. He noticed the satiated look on her face.
"Enjoy your meal?" he asked. She smiled sultrily.
"Yes, and I hope to enjoy it again, Naruto-kun." she said, tracing her finger along his neckline.
"Any time, Moka-chan, any time." he said, still holding her close. He inhaled her scent. "You still smell so good, Moka-chan…" he said lowly, moving their faces closer.
"Mmm… really?" she said, their faces moving even closer.
"Yeah…" instead of responding, Moka leaned forward even more, engaging the blonde in a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he looped his other arm around her waist.
Tsukune was currently in a state of shock. First he's taking a walk with the most beautiful girl in school, next thing he knows, he's thrown headfirst into a tombstone! Then his male friend showed up and released said girl's power, who then effortlessly kicked the bully's ass and, after sucking Naruto's blood, began to make out with him! What ever happened to average?
"Mmm…" Moka moaned as they pulled away for air, faces red. "I've been wanting to do that for awhile now, Naruto-kun." Naruto grinned.
"Me too, Moka-chan." he replied, "You know, my Kaa-chan explained to me why you smell so good."
"Really? And why is that?"
"She said it's how a Kitsune finds their mate." Moka looked genuinely surprised.
"Really? So I'm your mate now?" she asked with a hint of disbelief.
"Not exactly. You can be, but it's your choice, Moka-chan." the vampire adopted a mock thoughtful expression on her face, then nipped Naruto's neck.
"I don't see why not. Besides, your blood is absolutely delicious." she commented, licking her fangs, which Naruto found somehow arousing.
"One thing though, Moka-chan. In order for you to become my mate completely, we have to… consummate, understand?" Naruto explained. Moka chuckled lightly.
"Well, you'll need to earn that, Naruto-kun." Moka said, tapping his nose before putting the Rosario back on. She instantly reverted back to her old appearance and fainted in Naruto's arms.
"Day one in school and I've got a vampire girlfriend and a human best friend… this is going to be a very interesting year." Naruto noted as Moka snuggled into his chest. He looked at Tsukune and saw that he, too, had fainted. Cradling Moka in his arm, he slung Tsukune in his other and walked back to the dorm.
The Next Day
Tsukune was walking slowly to the school, holding the withdrawal note he had written. Thinking of his friends, he began to try and rip it up. It instantly caught fire, forcing Tsukune to drop it with a yelp.
"You're welcome." Naruto commented as he walked towards his friend, his right index finger smoking.
"Uh… thanks…"
"Good morning, Tsukune-kun!" Moka said as she ran up to the human. She blushed when she saw Naruto. "Good morning, N-Naruto-kun…"
"Why the stutter, Moka-chan?" Naruto said, grinning at his new girlfriend.
"I'm just not used to us being a couple, Naruto-kun…"
"So you don't want to be my girlfriend?" her head immediately shot up.
"No, I do! I'm just not used to thinking of you as my boyfriend, that's all!" she quickly responded. Naruto chuckled and embraced his girlfriend. Tsukune looked away from the spectacle.
"Come on, guys, we're gonna be late." Tsukune reminded. Naruto let go of Moka and the three headed to the academy together.
And done! Like I said, I want some feedback on this. The pairing for this will OBVIOUSLY not be Tsukune/Moka. He will get a girl, though. Moka won't be the only girl for Naruto, just so you know. Try and guess who else! Review!
Forever in the Sky,
The Red Star
