Hey guys final part with Naruto in the Tenchi Universe. This time he's with Kenshi from the show Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari which takes place 15 years after the adventure with Seina. What new troubles will our favorite blonde get into?
Okay a few things before we start: I will be doing the same style I did for Officer Kitsune in that I'm inserting Naruto into the storyline how I think he would fit, I know some people don't like this but I'm not changing my mind about it. That being said these will be longer chapters because the actual episodes are twice as long as normal ones but there are about half as many. So that's that I hope everyone enjoys this.
A new adventure awaits!
Naruto watched in concern as his charge breathed heavily within his shell. "You alright in there, Kenshi?" he called out as the boy's ragged breathing reached his sensitive ears. "You sound like you're scared or something!" He was met with silence as he scratched his head. "Maybe I should check on his health after all this is over." He mused to himself as he turned around to look out over the area from the cliff they were waiting on.
"They're here!" a male voice called out causing Kenshi to suck in his breath as he activated the mechanism he was in bringing out a beastly white giant from within the shell. Naruto grunted as he jumped onto the giant's shoulder "You ready?" he asked looking at the cockpit where his charge was sitting. All he received was ragged breathing in response. Above them an earthen ship slowly drifted towards them as Kenshi and Naruto both looked up. "Go!" the man ordered as Naruto scowled.
"I'll have to do it." Kenshi finally muttered revealing himself as a young man. "Ready Naruto-ji-san?" Naruto's brow twitched at the name.
"I told you not to call me that." Naruto muttered softly looking away from where he knew Kenshi to be. "I'm still young." Kenshi chuckled a welcomed sound for Naruto's ears as he looked up again. "Get ready." Kenshi voiced his acknowledgement and prepped himself for what they had to do.
"If we don't do this we can't return!" Kenshi shouted as he jumped into action. Seikijin, Naruto mused were odd things able to form what best represented the pilot no matter which one they entered.
"Ready Kenshi? They won't let us in without trouble." Naruto informed his charge planting himself on the Seikijin's shoulder.
"Yeah I'm ready!" Kenshi responded anxiously "I just hope no one gets hurt." Naruto nodded in agreement as their target came into view.
"Good cause here comes their Seikijin!" Naruto announced as a pinkish Seikijin with a fluffy looking tail flew above them before landing and taking a defensive stance. "Maybe this one is strong? They only sent the one." Naruto mused from his spot. "Be careful Kenshi."
"Do you know this ship belongs to Lashara of the Shitoreiyu Empire?" the pilot before them asked revealing herself to be a woman. Naruto grinned and shrugged his shoulders. "If you don't answer I'll get it out of you with force!" with a war cry the woman charged forward her broadsword poised to strike.
Faster than a normal person could follow Kenshi had used his own sword and knocked the strike away from his body. Bringing his sword back around, he entered a deadlock with the other Seikijin and began pressing for an advantage. "Oh? Not bad." Naruto muttered observing the fight. Suddenly withdrawing his sword Kenshi took advantage of her off balance and went for a horizontal strike forcing his opponent to back away with a gasp.
"He's good!" Naruto heard her mumble causing him to grin. The pink Seikijin started to push forward taking large swings which Kenshi parried with minimal effort which turned into dodging as his opponent began shooting beams at him.
"That's not really fair…" Kenshi muttered softly causing Naruto to snicker. "I heard that Ji-san." Kenshi mumbled his own eye twitching in annoyance. Suddenly one of the shots managed to hit setting off a bright light that almost blinded Naruto who covered his eyes. Suddenly he felt a sense of vertigo as Kenshi flipped into the air just as their attacker slashed where they'd been standing. "Nice reflexes Kenshi." He applauded clapping his hands slowly.
"Thanks." Kenshi muttered focusing on their attacker. Suddenly his ragged breathing came back; suddenly Naruto felt a presence within the castle. "I see. There's something in there." He muttered noting that Kenshi hadn't noticed what had just happened. Just as he thought that an explosion occurred below them. "So it begins." He mumbled as their opponent realized the situation.
"Damn it this one's a decoy!" she shouted as Kenshi jumped over her head and blocked her from assisting the other Seikijin which was fighting off their employer. "Get out of my way!" she shouted trying to push pass them.
"Oh seems like our employer is taking a bit of damage." Naruto muttered somewhat loudly as a black Seikijin flew in and pulled a blue one out of danger. "I guess that leaves us to do the job then." Naruto shrugged shaking his head in a 'well whatever' kind of fashion.
"Hmph, you're all beat up." The pilot for the black Seikijin, a girl, commented in a mocking tone.
"Shut up! Just hurry up and take me to a safer place!" the man from earlier shouted in a mixture of anger and urgency.
"Is that what you should say to a girl who just saved you?" the black Seikijin pilot asked curiously as they flew away leaving Kenshi and Naruto to deal with the two defending Seikijin.
The brownish Seikijin which had chased their boss out pulled out what looked like a giant pipe and aimed it at the two fleeing the fight. "I won't let you get away!" she called out firing her weapon at them. There was an audible click of the tongue as the black Seikijin used the blue as a shield.
Naruto scratched his head "That's not very nice." He muttered knowing them to be fine otherwise. "Ah, I guess this mission was a bust." He commented with a shrug "might as finish what we can Kenshi."
"Uwa…" the pilot of the brownish Seikijin muttered backing up "How mean…I feel sorry for him…but I still have to fire!" she declared firing another volley at them as Black returned the favor.
Naruto could hear the fight move outwards as the other Seikijin defender gave chase after their collogues "I won't let you escape!" the Pink Seikijin pilot shouted trying to break the deadlock she held with Kenshi. Pushing away from her Kenshi jumped back to gain distance.
"You good for nothing!" their boss shouted over their communications line. "We failed because you couldn't hold them!" Naruto scowled at that. "Too bad I will retreat. But you have to take responsibility and take Lashara's life!" Naruto grunted in annoyance
"What an ass." He muttered looking forward. "Well whatever." He mumbled to himself. "We do what we have to Kenshi." He informed his charge who sounded rather angry.
"You do that and I will bring you to the place I promised!" their boss announced as they flew away.
The pink Seikijin pressed the attack forcing Kenshi to dodge her as she tried to attack his sword arm. Ducking underneath Kenshi used his tail and pulled her legs out startling her. "He used his tail?" she screamed falling to the ground. "How dare you!" she shouted angrily.
"So there was another unit…" Kenshi muttered biting his lips paying little attention to the pink Seikijin.
"Our commands are to capture it right?" the other pilot asked as they surrounded them. "Oh what's this there's a person on the White Seikijin's shoulder." She announced pulling attention to Naruto.
"Ah I was noticed." He mumbled softly. "Well Kenshi I hope you can keep them from attacking me." He stated casually without a care in the world. "Do what you must boy."
"We have to go back…" Kenshi mumbled to himself. "We will definitely go back!" Suddenly the generators on his elbows began spinning rapidly giving off a very bright light. Naruto glanced down in surprise as the other defender quickly shouted a warning to the other as Kenshi moved to immobilize her.
"He's a monster!" she screamed as Kenshi ripped off her Seikijin's arm. Kenshi turned to face the others one and charged her dodging her shots with ease as her mantra of "Hit it!" could be heard.
"How can you be okay if you keep missing!" the pink Seikijin shouted as she tried to recover.
"Oh no out of ammo!" she cried as Kenshi grabbed her. "Uwa…I could almost wet myself." She muttered fearfully.
Suddenly Kenshi cried out in pain as the limiters began glowing again. "What's going on?" Pink cried out as Kenshi's Seikijin began reacting as if it were in pain.
"It definitely went over its limit!" the brown Seikijin pilot informed trying to break free. Suddenly the pilot feinted as the brown Seikijin collapsed. Stumbling towards the castle Kenshi growled softly. "Almost…" he muttered trying to get closer as Naruto watched in concern.
"NOW!" the pink Seikijin pilot cried swinging her sword at Kenshi just took the hit and shrugged it off as his left arm fell away. Using his right arm he punched her and continued on his way stumbling in an odd loping run. Climbing up the side of the castle, Kenshi got out once at the top of the battlements. "Almost there." He muttered as Naruto melted into the shadows and followed him.
Lashara, a small statured blonde haired girl smiled "That was a nice fight…" she began as she turned to face Kenshi with a smile "Seikishi master." Kenshi groaned softly as he staggered forward. "You're…just a boy?" she asked surprised getting a good look at Kenshi's sweat covered form. Naruto paused out of sight and waited.
Kenshi reached behind his back and pulled out a combat knife. "You…" he muttered through ragged breathing.
Lashara nodded her head in acceptance "If I have to die at the hands of a Seikishi master of your caliber, in that case I don't mind." She admitted turning to completely face Kenshi who had yet to calm his own breathing.
"You…" Kenshi muttered dropping his weapon. "I'll take you with me." He stated causing Lashara to place her hands on her hips.
"Oh so you want to elope with me?" she asked teasingly "That's such charming proposal." She stated as I speaking with an old friend over tea. "You put up such a fight and can still move, pretty impressive…though you're an idiot if you think you can convince me like that."
"You bastard!" The pilot from earlier shouted charging at Kenshi's back with a sword. Kenshi barely moved as he hunched over and grabbed her wrist throwing her over his shoulder with ease taking her sword away from her.
"Hm…you have this much energy left?" Lashara asked impressed.
Suddenly Kenshi gagged as he clutched his head in pain. The enemy combatant wasted no time and rushed forward tackling him to the ground and raised her fist in the air to knock him out. "He's just a boy?" she asked shocked her hand on his chest.
"That's right." Naruto replied appearing behind her grasping her wrist in his own. "Just as I am."
"There was another one?" the girl cried out in alarm trying to free her arm. "Let go of me!" she ordered glaring at him.
"I'm afraid I can't do that…you'd hit my poor little charge." He informed her with a grin.
"Stop it." Lashara ordered with a small smile.
"But they tried to kill you!" the guard argued angrily. "Not only that they dared invade this place where men are forbidden!"
"It's okay." Lashara waved off her concern easily.
"But if…if rumors get out that we are not pure and firm," she began turning to her leader in shock. "The whole country will be…"
"If we keep quiet there won't be any problems." Lashara explained as Naruto slowly let go of her guard's arm. "Besides they're our main witnesses to today's incident." The petit royalty explained.
"Still…" the guard muttered standing up while grabbing her weapon. "How dare they use these rare male Seikishi masters as assassins!"
"Ara…I'm being confused with my little charge." Naruto muttered with a grin as the two girls turned to face him. "I'm…not a Seikishi master." He stated with a smile as he pointed at himself. "I do believe mercenary would be a better term for me." He bowed in greeting. "My name is Namikaze Naruto, at your service."
"Oh? How courteous." Lashara stated with a grin. "I would introduce myself but I do believe your friend is suffering." She pointed at Kenshi who had fallen unconscious from the fall. "If those two had planned to ditch you from the beginning I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems with making you ours now would there?" she asked glancing at Naruto.
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just here to keep an eye on this one." He gestured at Kenshi. "I'll be following him whatever he decides to do."
"Ho…However!" the guard stuttered an argument
"He's young and strong, and on top of that, a male Seikishi master." Lashara stated listing off his good qualities they could use. "And this one here is stealthy and cunning." She gestured at Naruto who blushed at the praise. "Fine additions are they not?"
The captain o the guard gave each of them a look of uncertainty as she tried to find words to voice her thoughts. "Well now…we're in your care your highness." Naruto stated jovially picking up Kenshi with ease. "Please where may I set him to rest?" They led him through the corridors and into a giant bird cage. "A…bird cage?" he asked looking around. "Well…I guess I can't really blame you for this kind of accommodations." He muttered setting Kenshi down and covering him with the provided sheets. Settling down himself Naruto closed his eyes as the sound of footsteps faded away.
When morning came Naruto was awake and ready as Kenshi slowly got up his clothing gone. "You're awake, good." Naruto stated as the guard from earlier came by. Kenshi saw her and instantly threw up the sheets to block her vision as he got to his feet in preparation for an attack.
Naruto palmed his face as Kenshi's body stood bare in front of the guard who turned red in the face as she threw Kenshi's cleaned clothes at him "Cover your front!" she ordered angrily as Naruto looked away. "For how many days has the cut been like that?" She asked as Kenshi clothed himself under the blankets. "It was so dirty we had to clean it." Kenshi gaze at his arm where he had been injured earlier. Though Naruto had treated it then.
"Kenshi sweats too much, it would have been fine if he hadn't fought again." Naruto stated looking at Kenshi in what could be an 'I told you so' look.
"Stupid Ji-san" Kenshi muttered looking away.
"What was that you brat?" Naruto growled threatening to pound Kenshi's face in.
"To get to the point." She stated catching their attention. "I need you two to answer my questions." She informed them seriously. Naruto sighed and nodded his head as Kenshi looked at his feet. "If you cooperate we won't harm you."
Naruto glanced at her before shrugging his shoulders. "Go ahead not like I know much about what's going on." He stated honestly as Kenshi looked away from them.
"Don't tell me you think your allies will come to save you." She muttered when Kenshi remained silent. He didn't answer her and opted to look out of the cage instead. "There's no reason for them to come, you were used and thrown away." Naruto watched the emotions play along Kenshi's face as he waited "Okay, how about you stay like that forever?" the guard asked turning around and walked away. "Oh yeah there's one thing good about being quiet. If you tell others that you entered Lashara-sama's domain, you'll be executed immediately!"
"Well that was harsh." Naruto muttered as she walked away. "How you feeling Kenshi?" he asked as the younger boy turned towards him.
"What should we do…Naruto-ji-san?" Kenshi asked softly seemingly at a lost. "We failed."
"Ah nothing to worry over this is probably for the best anyways, let's just see what happens." Naruto waved off the concern and settled down for some more sleep. "Wake me if anyone comes by.
When Naruto awoke next it was already night time. "You have been silent this whole time?" a slightly older man asked as he set a fruit basket down. Naruto nodded his head and grabbed a fruit eating it happily. "There isn't much to say." He stated catching the man's attention. "I don't really know much I was just tagging along with this one." He pointed his thumb at Kenshi who frowned.
"I'm Ulyte" the man introduced himself. "A pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Namikaze Naruto, and this one is Masaki Kenshi." Naruto greeted introducing them both.
"What strange names." Ulyte chuckled rolling their names around a bit. Naruto noticed the others but stayed silent as he smiled "I get that a lot." He joked as they conversed. "Could you two be…no never mind." He waved it off as he shook his head before walking off leaving the two alone.
Kenshi looked at the food before grabbing one and biting into it. "He was a good person." Naruto stated munching on his fruit. "How fortunate." He leaned back against the cage and looked around. "Kind of high…" he muttered peering at the floor below him.
"Don't remind me." Kenshi muttered with a twitching eye brow.
"Aw, is Ken-chan scared of heights?" Naruto teased laughing at the face Kenshi was making.
"Whose fault was that again baka-ji?" he asked countering with the nickname he had given Naruto a long time ago. "If you hadn't dropped me off a cliff I wouldn't be scared!"
"In my defense…Ryoko told me to." Naruto stated crossing his arms.
"You…" Kenshi muttered face vaulting. Recovering Kenshi folded his arms and sneezed. "Eh?" he wondered as he opened his eyes to see his former target with more food for them.
"Don't get me wrong." She began closing her eyes as she folded her arms, her guards and servants nearby. "I'm not a demon or anything and you are an important asset." She assured them as Naruto chuckled softly.
"Asset?" the purple haired girl who looked like a mechanic asked causing Lashara to jump a little.
"I mean witness…if your body weakens it'll be a disaster." She stated as Naruto turned his head away to hide his snickering. "Disaster?" a slightly pinkish haired woman asked curiously. "Anyways don't tell Chiaia that we brought this food for you." Lashara stated obviously referring to the fiery red haired pilot of the pink Seikijin.
Naruto sweat dropped as Lashara listed off a few bad points Chiaia apparently had as he shifted towards the center of the cage along with Kenshi who noticed said woman holding a certain remote in her hands. "Scary remote." Naruto muttered waiting and watching to see what would happen.
As soon as she pushed the button the floor fell way startling Kenshi as the food fell into a net. "Ah…Chiaia! I wasn't intending to…" Lashara tried to explain as Chiaia walked forward.
"Since I speak so harshly and my eyes scare people…" she stated walking forward with a smile on her face. "Ah…scary face." Naruto muttered pointing at her unashamedly.
"I only said a little…" Lashara muttered poking her fingers together as Chiaia picked up something to give them as Kenshi sneezed again. Naruto caught the two fruits she had tossed them as Kenshi grabbed the blanket. Slowly the two boys looked at what they were given before looking at each other and then at Chiaia's retreating back. They shared another look before shrugging.
Later that night Naruto smiled as Kenshi dozed against him. "Nii-chan, Nee-chan." Kenshi mumbled in his sleep. Naruto smiled as he saw the Koro climbing into the cage with them as they crowded around Kenshi. It was then he noticed the older woman from before. Softly she held a finger to her lips as she joined them and allowed Kenshi to doze against her bosom. "Nee-chan…" Kenshi mumbled as he opened his eyes.
"AH!" he shouted in surprised as the Koro scattered. "Huh…?" he muttered seeing them as the crawled up the cage and looked at him curiously.
"It seems the Koro have become attached to you." The lady stated cheerfully the softness of her skin lingering on Kenshi's own skin.
"Who are you?" Kenshi asked disregarding the cute little creatures for more pressing matters.
"Do you have an older sister?" she asked ignoring the question. "Eh?" she giggled "Then I'll take the place of your older sister." She promptly hugged Kenshi into her bosom causing him to cry out in alarm which brought Chiaia in running.
"Who is it this time?" she wondered irritably. She froze when she saw what was going on. "Nee-san! What are you doing here, and with both of them to!"
Naruto scratched his nose and looked away. "To be fair she's not doing anything in particular." He muttered.
"Who asked you?" Chiaia screamed causing him to back off and stay silent.
"He seemed cold." The older woman stated with a smile.
"Why are you naked?" Chiaia asked softly trembling in anger.
"Isn't that the best way to warm someone up?"
"This isn't like aiding someone lost on a snow capped mountain." Chiaia mumbled slumping her shoulders as Kenshi struggled to break free.
Naruto laughed as Chiaia led her sister away who was complaining about having to leave Kenshi. "Well now that was interesting." He laughed as Kenshi sighed and looked at him tiredly. "Oh cheer up, things are looking good!"
"Good?" Kenshi asked closing his eyes. "How are things looking good?" he asked as he fell asleep again.
"You two sure are clumsy." A new voice called out as the soon of a door opening alerted Naruto and Kenshi of a visitor. "Kenshi, Naruto."
"Doll." They muttered recognizing the green haired girl above them.
"Let's go." She muttered as the two shared a glance. Folding up their blankets they set them down and climbed into the black Seikijin's hand as she flew off towards their own base.
"What about disposing of Lashara?" the masked man asked as Kenshi and Naruto were brought before him. "You two good for nothings! This is all you can do even though you're other worlders? Search them!"
Naruto and Kenshi waited as the two guards searched them for bugs. Pulling down Kenshi's collar they found one. "A communication type Ahou magic crest!" one of them announced as Doll seemed shocked.
"When did that get there?" Naruto wondered idly having not known about the tracker. "Oh well whatever seems like the gigs up." He shrugged his shoulders uncaringly.
"Just as I thought." The masked leader muttered seeming unsurprised by the turn of events. "What did the princess say to draw you to her side?" the man wondered stepping forward. "Did she say she'd fulfill any desire you had?" he asked stepping in front of Kenshi who frowned at the man as Naruto rolled his eyes. Kenshi shook his head as the man bent down to eye level "Playing dumb?"
"I didn't say anything." Kenshi stated honestly as Naruto nodded in agreement
"Well it's fine since you'll die here anyways." The man announced drawing their attention. Kenshi snapped his head up in surprise before lowering it again.
"What about the promise?" he asked softly.
"Promise?" the man wondered as if he didn't know what Kenshi was talking about. "Oh, the promise to send you back to the world you came from." The man muttered remembering. "Fool! You two were just sacrificial pawns for the assassination of Lashara!" Kenshi remembered what Chiaia had told them as Naruto watched, and waited. "In the first place there is no way to send you back."
"You tricked us." Kenshi stated as a fact more then anything else. The man before them drew his sword and Naruto grinned. "Tht means our deal is off!" Naruto howled in delight as he kicked the two men holding him in the shin before slamming their heads together as he broke free of their grasp. Acting before the leader could respond Kenshi kicked him down before tossing the one behind him over his shoulder.
"What are you doing kill them!" Kenshi and Naruto made quick work of the goons as they escaped the room. "After them!" they heard the leader shout from his spot on the floor.
"Oh I was waiting to do that!" Naruto shouted joyously as they searched for a way out. "We have to get off this thing though." He muttered as Kenshi nodded in agreement.
Reaching the bow of the ship they stopped and turned as the sounds of metal doors opening reached their ears. "Forgetting the debt you owe me for taking you in…how dare you humiliate me!" the man in his Seikijin shouted walking towards them sword drawn. Kenshi's breathing deepened as he looked up at the threat. "You seem to be suffering." The man stated "that's right! You fell ill for the first time." he shouted laughing wildly
Without thinking Naruto grabbed Kenshi by the arm and jumped off the ship. He smirked as a green Seikijin flew up and caught them. "I was right, we did have an audience." He stated surprising the pilot though she didn't show it as their savior was forced to dodge various pot shots the leader took at them as she kept Naruto and Kenshi in her hand.
"Chiaia Furon?" the pilot asked as Chiaia's Seikijin flew by a mysterious shot having bought them some time.
"As I thought you're Aura Shurifon." Chiaia greeted as the two stopped to face their enemy. "Those two are…" Chiaia muttered seeing Naruto and Kenshi. "Leave this to me!"
"Sorry." Aura apologized as she retreated further. Chiaia watched as their attacker retreated and sighed before following Aura.
"Shurifon-sama this is troubling!" one of the maids shouted worriedly as Aura, a darker skinned woman with pointed ears, with Naruto's aid carried the suffering Kenshi into the castle.
"The swan is currently under our protection for the sake of the pilgrimage to the Holy Land." Chiaia announced stepping in front of them. "I cannot let you pass."
"But, as a Pilgrimage Road Security Unit, I cannot leave the situation as it is." Aura stated in a crisp tone.
"I will explain the situation to you, but first I need you to hand those boys to me." Chiaia stated gesturing to Naruto and Kenshi.
"Calling me a boy, how rude…" Naruto muttered looking away. "I'm probably older than you anyways." He muttered but was ignored by the two women.
"These young men are important witnesses I cannot just hand them over to you." Aura explained patiently. "And also, I would like to inquire Lashara-sama herself about the situation." Taking Chiaia's silence as permission Naruto and Aura made to walk past her only to be stopped when Chiaia placed a hand on Aura's arm. "Security Headquarters was only informed of a suspicious ship. If it's possible I would like to hear the explanation without having to harm the dignity of your country." Aura stated closing her eyes in thought.
Naruto watched the proceedings in curiosity before he glanced at Kenshi's face. "Hold on buddy." He muttered hefting the boy fully onto his shoulders startling Aura who felt the weight over her shoulders disappear.
"You bitch." Chiaia muttered angrily.
"It's fine I will permit their entrance." Lashara stated making her appearance with the mechanic at her side.
"Queen Lashara, it's an emergency. Please forgive me." Aura bowed her head.
"It would be rude to stand here and speak, so how about we go inside and chat over tea?" Lashara asked turning around and walking back into the castle.
Moving to place a guiding hand on Naruto's shoulder Chiaia's hand was slapped away as Aura stepped between them "As the one who saved these two young men I cannot hand them over to you until I understand the situation." Aura explained looking Lashara in the eye.
"Are Kenshi and Naruto back yet?" Mexiah asked stepping into view.
"Nee-san where were you?" Chiaia asked surprised.
"Why is Mexiah-sensei here?" Aura asked in surprise.
"This is…" Mexiah muttered looking Kenshi over.
"My apologies. Since I brought him in to the Seikijin, I believe it's Ahou poisoning." Aura stated looking a little worried. "The blonde one here may also suffer from it but as of yet he shows no signs."
Naruto waved it off. "Oh don't worry about me most sicknesses don't affect me." He stated with a smile. "I'm fine."
"No, these spots are…" Mexiah muttered worriedly "This is an endemic disease known as 'Rodeshya Tore'" she explained
"Rodeshya Tore?" Chiaia asked unfamiliar with the term.
"Could it be that this boy is from Kouchi?" The mechanic asked "Rodeshya Tore is an illness unique to Enna" she explained
"Then what about Wahan?" Chiaia asked concerned for the purple haired mechanic.
"I'm fine, I already received a vaccine for it." She explained glancing at Chiaia. "But if that's the case here it could be bad."
Suddenly Kenshi's suffering grew worse as Naruto placed a hand on his forehead. "Not good, he has a high fever." He stated catching the women's attention. "We need to get him into a bed where he can rest." Nodding in agreement they were led into a spare bedroom where Naruto set Kenshi down as Ulyte took a look at him.
"At this rate he will lose consciousness in another six hours and die." Ulyte muttered after giving Kenshi a check up. The girls shared worried looks as Wahan suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, if the vaccine is not enough and someone falls ill, we can use toriyamu as a cure for it!" she explained urgently.
"There's a problem…Toriyamu is rarely used in medicine so we don't have any here." Ulyte muttered softly.
"Then I will go pick some." Aura announced before heading out.
"I will go too." Mexiah stated following after her. "I leave the guarding of the swan to the rest of you."
Soon Wahan and Chiaia left to their own tasks as Lashara and the head maid stayed behind with Naruto. As the maid kept Kenshi's head dry Naruto leaned against the wall as Lashara took a seat at the bedside. "They're here." Naruto stated without looking away from Kenshi's face. "The enemy."
Lashara nodded her head in acknowledgement. "Right." She muttered worriedly "Chiaia will handle it."
"I hope so." Naruto muttered softly. Soon the maid had to leave for her own reasons and Naruto took the spot at Kenshi's side. "It's really bad." He muttered examining him. "No choice." He muttered pulling out a knife.
"What are you doing?" Lashara asked shocked. Naruto simply placed a finger to his lips. Taking the knife he cut into his finger and held the bleeding digit over Kenshi's mouth.
"My blood…has healing properties for humans in small quantities." He explained pulling the finger away as the wound sealed shut right before Lashara's eyes. "Our little secret right?" he asked with a smile. Lashara nodded her head as the others returned with the Toriyamu "Good timing you guys." Naruto muttered as they all prepped the medicine and hooked it up to Kenshi.
Eventually Kenshi groaned and opened his eyes. "Ah you're awake!" Lashara shouted happily as he turned his attention towards her.
Mexiah smiled softly and placed her head against his. "It seems you're fever has subsided as well." She stated ignoring the slight discomfort she brought forth from Kenshi.
"Although we used the herb you recovered quickly." Aura stated as Naruto grinned and winked at Kenshi.
"Honestly what a troublesome one." Chiaia muttered as Wahan smiled.
"Anyways let's have him pay us back later." Wahan suggested with an eye smile that had Naruto chuckling.
Sitting up Kenshi looked around before he glanced at the sheets in embarrassment "Thank you…" he mumbled softly. The girls blinked in surprise before Mexiah hugged him tightly.
"So cute!" she cried rubbing her face against his causing Naruto to chuckle as Kenshi seemed at a loss.
"Hey he's still recovering." Chiaia muttered pulling her sister away from Kenshi. "You should rest until morning." She suggested glancing over her shoulder.
Mexiah waved good bye as Aura followed them out. "I guess we should get some rest as well." Lashara muttered standing up as Kenshi turned to face her. Turning off the lights Wahan yawned as she followed the queen out of the room leaving the two males alone.
"It seems we have a new group." Naruto stated as Kenshi got out of bed and walked onto the balcony. "Beautiful morning isn't it?" Naruto asked joining him as he leaned on the railing.
"Yeah." Kenshi agreed as the two gazed out over the forest. "It's beautiful."
End
So what did you guys think. I thought it went okay personally. "I'm not sure how involved I want to make Naruto so we'll see what happens anyways leave some reviews and let me know what I'm doing right!
