Well, I couldn't help but start another story. For those of you new to my content I'm more than glad to have you here! And for those who have read some of my previous stories I'm thrilled that you came to check out this one as well!
I didn't quite know what to call this story so I ended up settling for Naruto Juujin Detective because I couldn't figure out a more fitting name that I liked. Also, I'm not sure how some of the characters from Mahou Shoujo Neko X are colored so I had to make the best guesses I could. Hope it's okay with you guys.
With that said I hope you all enjoy the new story!
(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or Mahou Shoujo Neko X)
"With this you'll never have to leave. So we'll always be together" a young blond boy with deep blue eyes and whisker marks told a girl with purple near shoulder length hair and matching cat ears and tail after he'd used a marker to put an X on her forehead.
"Naruto" the girl softly said as the rain continued to drench the two of them.
"Don't even try to get out of it" Naruto told her as he brought the girl into an embrace, surprising the girl. "You are my pet" the blond said as he continued to hug the girl.
"Naruto" the girl once again said as her arms came around to return the embrace as silent tears of joy started to fall down her cheeks while being masked by the rain. "Naruto, I, I am your pet, forever and ever" the girl happily told the boy.
Seven years later
"Peke" Naruto groaned out as he woke up to find the cat girl laying on top of him with her arms wrapped around his neck and her drool having piled up on his cheek while they were asleep. the blond briefly wondered what was going through her head at the moment as she kept mumbling out his name but forgot about that as he jolted up into a sitting position on his bed, tossing Peke off of him as she flopped down next to him.
"Hjmmg, wha?" Peke let out as her eyes started to open.
"You were drooling one me, again" Naruto told her as he swung his feet out over the edge of his bed. With his feet firmly planted on his bedroom floor Naruto reached over to his bedside stand for his box of tissues.
"Ah! I'm so sorry Naruto!" Peke quickly apologized as she rolled onto her hands and feet before crawling over beside the blond. "Let me clean tha-" the girl was quickly saying as she reached for the box in Naruto's hand when she was silenced hand pushing her away bye her face.
"Calm down, you always freak out over the smallest things" Naruto said with a smirk as he but the box on his lap and got out a few tissues while keeping his other hand on Peke's forehead.
"But" the girl softly said as she looked down slightly. With her head lowered like that Naruto's attention was drawn to the X shaped scare she had on her forehead. "N-Naruto!?" Peke let out as she felt the blond trace the mark with his thumb.
"Something wrong?" Naruto asked with a big grin as he took his hand away and pushed himself off the bed. "I'm hungry" Naruto said as he took a moment to stretch while Peke sat on the bed rubbing her forehead. "Let's go get something to eat" Naruto suggested as he looked over his shoulder at the girl.
Dinning room/Kitchen
"Juujin. Since the dawn of time they've been humanity's friends. A certain percentage of those born from creatures suddenly mutated to a human-like appearance with the exception of ears and other extremities. For example, it is commonly known that Hideyoshi Toyotomi was a monkey juujin. The above example is not limited. It shows that juujin have melded into human society. Some of them live as pets while many others work in the labor force" the news woman was saying as Peke brought over a plate of eggs she;d just finished.
"Here you go, Naruto" Peke happily said as she put the plate in front of the teen, the yellow short dress she had on before being mostly covered by her light pink apron. "I'll get started on yours right way, k Kurama" the cat girl said to the unusually large fox lying under the table as the blond thanked her for the food.
"This body isn't real. There's no need for you to waste food on it" Kurama told her as he just continued to lay there as if her were asleep.
"I know you enjoy my cooking so I'm making you food whether you say so or not" the girl told him as she made her way back to the pen kitchen. "So is there anything planned for today?" Peke asked as she broke open another egg and dropped it in the pan.
"Not really, just training like usual. Ero-sannin said something about collaboration jutsu training when he got back, but that's not for a few more days" Naruto told the girl before being surprised by his orange haired sister plopping down on the table next to him.
"Don't you ever think of anything other than training?" the girl in a pink, short skirt nurse outfit with small wings on the back asked with her usual bubbly attitude. "If you don't start socializing more then you'll never get a girlfriend. Though if that happens then you can always marry your big sister" the girl happily told the blond.
"So it's a nurse's outfit today, Yuki?" Naruto asked the girl, shortening her name from Yukikaze to Yuki like usual as he leaned slightly away from her.
"Do you like it?" Yukikaze asked as she struck a pose before the commercials ended and the news woman came back on.
"Next on 'The Juujin Relations'" the woman said before a feed of a resent juujin attack came on. "This is the feed from the scene of the crime. This is a juujin with special powers. Because she poses a serious danger, we could only photograph her from a distance" the reporter said as the image of a cat girl with shoulder blade length, slightly curved light brown hair and belt/collar like accessories could be faintly scene among the clouds of smoke and debris around her. "The number on her ear tag has been covered by a reflective surface so it cannot be read. Her owner is unknown. The health care center staff were also unable to help" the reporter said before moving on to question a leading expert on juujin.
"Is it any wonder these attacks are starting to rise in number" Kurama spoke up before any of the others could comment on the broadcast as he finally opened up his eyes. "Even though juujin can speak, work, think, and look almost exactly the same as any human their still treated as lesser creatures because of what little difference there is. It's only obvious that they'd lash out the moment they got some power" Kurama said. "Hmph, humans are pitiful creatures no matter where they're from" the bijuu added at the end.
"Don't you think you're letting a bit of your own bias cloud your judgement?" a woman's voice rang through the room alerting the others to the last person currently in the house. Walking into the room was a woman with mid back length, slightly curled, orange hair that seemed to almost darken as it went down, gentle amber eyes, and a rather impressive bust that was being comfortable held under her tan long sleeved shirt. "Though I suppose you aren't entirely wrong either" the woman commented came to a stop next to the table and leaned on it slightly with one of her hands.
"You were in a meeting until morning again, weren't you mom? Was it about Evos again?" Naruto asked the woman as he finished up his food.
"Yep!" the woman cheerfully replied. "The health care center has been rather passive towards Evos so it almost always gets pushed onto me" the woman told him. "Evolved juujin are a threat to human society. As the one you made the collar that seals Evos' powers it's to be expected" the woman said with a sigh. "Unfortunately no one but you has ever been able to place one on an Evo" she commented as she looked over at the collar Peke wore as the girl walked over with Kurama's food.
"You say that like it's some big achievement. She didn't even try hurting me so putting it on was as simple as walking up to her" Naruto told the woman that had raised him after his biological parents had died while unwanted memories of Peke's rampage flashed in his mind.
"I was a bad juujin, wasn't I?" Peke asked as she knelt down to place the plate next to the fox, tears welling up in her eyes. What had happened during that event was still nothing more than a blur at best for the girl but the sight of her power's aftermath was still clear in her mind.
"You, just went overboard trying to protect me" Naruto told her as he reached down to pat her head, trying to consul her. "It's not like anyone died, right?" the blond said, figuring he shouldn't bring up anything about the injures that those people had to be rushed to the hospital for.
"Well, if you're really that worried about being a bad juujin then you can help Naruto catch other Evos" the woman said as she leaned down to look the cat girl in the eyes. "What do you say, Peke? I'm sure with the power and love the two of you have you'll have no problems at all" the woman told her.
'Love!' the word rang through Peke's mind as a blush started to form on her cheeks. 'Naruto's, love' the girl joyfully thought to herself as her blush deepened.
"What're you going on about?! I have training to focus on. I can't just go around chasing rouge juujin!" the blond defiantly said as he got out of his chair.
"Please Naruto" the woman pleaded with the teen with big watery eyes as she clung to his shirt with tears going down her cheeks. "I know I'll never be as good of a mother for you as Kushina would've been, but please do this for mommy" the woman continued, quickly breaking down the blonds defenses.
"F-Fine!" Naruto gave in as he averted his eyes from the woman. "But what do you expect me to do? Evos haven't been a problem around here so I'd just be sitting on my ass all day" the blond told her.
"At Chiyodaku Health Care Center, you can have an outside area to use as your office anywhere you like! How would you like to live alone somewhere on the resident's fee?" the woman happily suggested, some left over tears still in the corners of her eyes.
"Anywhere, huh?" the blond thought aloud as he wondered where the best place would be. Taking another look at the TV led to a quick decision.
Few days later - Akiabara
"I know they said they had a place set up for us, but I was expecting a little more than this" Naruto commented as he, Peke, and Kurama stood on top of one of buildings in front of a small,square, prefabricated home.
"All that's left is to cover it with love" Peke happily said as she made a heart shape with her hands content that her and her beloved Naruto would be living together, oh and Kurama too.
"Riiiight, we'll get right on that" Naruto slowly said as he gave the girl an odd look. Starting to head for the stares Naruto looked over his shoulder at his two companions "You guys going to help be look for Evos or what?".
"Yep! Right behind you!" Peke cheerfully said as she ran up beside the blond.
Seeing Kurama just sitting there Naruto sent the fox a questioning look. "I'm not going so get lost already" Kurama told them as he turned around and headed over to the railing. Deciding it would be to much effort to argue with the bijuu Naruto and Peke left him to watch the crowds walk by on the streets below.
"There really are a lot more juujin around here" Naruto offhandedly said as he took notice of the beastmen walking and hanging around the area, nearly being run into by a young juujin boy as he chased after a few of his friends.
"I know what you mean" Peke agreed as she looked around with a smile on her face. "So where should we look for information?" the purple haired girl asked as she turned her head back to the blond, only to be confused as she saw him staring at a store they were in front of. "Naruto, is something wrong?" the girl asked as she tried to find what it was he was staring at.
"Hm? Oh, sorry Peke but could you stay here for a minute? I've been working on a new version of the sexy jutsu and could use some reference material" the whiskered blond told her while rubbing the back of his head.
"Wha!? But we're suppose to be on patrol!" Peke told the blond, surprised that he'd pick now of all times to do this.
"It wont even take a minute, I promise. I just need to perfect the outfit" Naruto told her as he quickly made his way into the store, leaving her outside as pets weren't allowed inside.
'Auuh, why does he keep coming back to that technique?' Peke wondered to herself as she decided to lean against the tree outside of the store. "Hmm? There are a lot of billboards with juujin" Peke said to herself as she looked around. "Could this place really be some where juujin are tolerated?" the girl thought out loud.
"You think so?" a girls voice reached Peke's ears, drawing her attention to a cat juujin sitting next to the railing post she was tied too. "Are you still attached to someone?" the familiar looking girl asked after Peke gave her a confused look. "I've already gained some powers" the girl said as she stood up. "Come with me. You don't have to be taken care of by a human. I have powers. I'm not a normal juujin" the girl said as she held out her hand.
'This girl is' Peke thought as the news broadcast from a few days ago came to mind.
"Elizabeth" the sound of her name being called surprised the cat girl as her owner walked up to her. "We're going home" the man told her as he untied her collar from the post.
"Sorry. Right now I have to be obedient. If you come here tonight I'll show you my powers" Elizabeth told her as she was being led away.
"Wait! Eli-" Peke was calling out, about to chase after the girl when she found herself being surrounded by a bunch of guys.
"Hey, You're cute! Are you someone's pet cat?/Will you let me take your picture?/How about leaving your master and being my kitty/ What's your name? Age?" were some of the things the guys were saying.
'Ah, I can't see him' Peke thought to herself as she looked around for Naruto as she was backed up against the tree behind her.
"Well since she's a juujin, we can do things to her that we can't do to a normal girl" Peke heard one of the guys say as he reached out for her.
"Wha?" the cat girl questioned as she began to worry even more. Fortunately the guy's hand never reached her as it was halted by someone else.
"Ahck! What the fuck man!?" the guy yelled out as he pulled his hand back, clutching it against his chest as the throbbing pain of having it squeezed so tightly remained.
"You bastards want to keep your hands then you'll get out of here, now" Naruto said as he stood between them and Peke, his glare being enough to send the group scurrying away.
As the men ran off Peke was left there staring at the blonds back. "Um, I'm sorry" Peke nervously said, apologizing for having to be saved like that.
"Hmm?" Naruto turned at the waist to look at the girl. "What're you apologizing for? Those guys are the ones that should apologize" Naruto told the girl, getting a smile from her.
"Right!" the girl happily said before remembering something. "Oh! That's right! An Evo will be here tonight!" Peke informed the blond.
Later that night
"Are these clothes really alright?" Peke asked Naruto as she stood in front of him in an outfit consisting mainly of a school swimsuit with a sailor uniform top over it.
"Well" Naruto started as he looked over the girl's outfit with a doubtful look. 'Maybe, I shouldn't try making magical girl outfits' the blond thought to himself as he took in the girls get up. He swore it looked way cooler in his head. "You look cool Peke! So there's nothing to worry about" Naruto reassured her. "Besides, we can always tweak it later" Naruto said as he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Y-Yeah, you're right" Peke said with a nervous smile, still unsure of the clothes. "All that's left is to remove the collar" the girl meekly said as she looked down at the floor with her hands pressing together. "What will happen?" the girl asked, scared of losing it again. "When I became an Evo before, what happened to me?" Peke asked, trying her best to remember.
"What happened back then doesn't matter. I know you wont do that again so there's nothing to worry about" Naruto said before surprising by pulling her into a hug. "I'll be by your side the whole time so don't think about it" Naruto told her.
"Mmm, Naruto" Peke happily said as she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Naruto as well. Though the moment was quickly interrupted by the sound of mettle and concrete slamming into the ground outside the building they were in.
"Sounds like they're here" Naruto said as he let Peke go and ran out the front door, quickly being followed by the cat girl. "The hell!?" Naruto let out as they two of them were met with the sight of Elizabeth standing on what was left of one of the buildings as the upper half of it lay in ruin in the street below.
"She broke the building in half!" Peke said in shock. "Ah, and she's gathered her juujin too" the girl said as she noticed the juujin standing around admiring Elizabeth's handiwork.
"No time to stand around. I'm taking the collar off" Naruto said as he moved behind Peke and slipped the key into the collar's lock.
"Right, and" Peke said as she looked over her shoulder at the blond. "Thank you, Naruto" the girl said as the collar came off and her power once again flowed threw her.
With her power now flowing freely it wasn't long before the other juujin took notice of them as she stood with her short, oddly shaped sword in hand. "I didn't notice that that girl had the same power as me. Besides that" Elizabeth started to say to herself as she looked the girl over from her perch atop the destroyed building. "She's a toy wearing a school bathing suit and a sailor uniform. She's a human's toy" the girl said in disappointment.
"Leave the guys below to me, you take the one on top" Naruto instructed Peke.
"Right!" Peke said as she went off to face Elizabeth, cracking and upturning the concrete from the force of her jumping up to the girl. 'My body's so light, this is an Evo!' Peke thought with a small smile as she arrived at the top of the still standing portion of the building. "Elizabeth! I've come to capture you with this collar!" Peke declared as she held up one of the collar's Naruto's mom had provided them.
Meanwhile, down on the street "We are members of the health care center! We're here to throw all the bad juujin out this late into custody! If you don't want that to happen then go home now!" Naruto announced through a megaphone, getting all the other juujin to run of. "Man, not even one of them wanted to stand their ground?" Naruto complained to himself as he dropped the megaphone to his side. Maybe he could go help Peke take care of the other Evo.
"Don't interfere, you stupid juujin in a perverted costume!" Elizabeth yelled at Peke as she dodged the girl's strikes.
"You're wrong!" Peke immediately shot back at the girl. "This costume is, not embarrassing!" Peke called out as she lunged at Elizabeth to try and collar her again.
"It doesn't matter to me what kind of clothes you wear" Elizabeth tells her. "But why are you interfering? Because you want to protect this city? I saw exactly what happened to you!" Elizabeth yelled out as she pointed at Peke.
"That has nothing to do with it!" Peke yelled as she started running at Elizabeth, the mettle beams beneath her bending and cracking under her feet. "I fight for my master, the one that'll always be there for me when I need him!" Peke declared, using the brief moment of surprise from Elizabeth to get the collar around her neck. "Caught you" Peke breathed out as she let go of the collar, allowing it to freely lay around the girls neck.
"What's this?" Elizabeth said, confused as to why just putting a collar on her would make her caught. "It's nothing at all. This doesn't mean you've caught me at all" Elizabeth said as she backed up to the edge of the collapsing building. "Sorry, but you'll have to let me go" Elizabeth said with a smirk as she jumped off terrifying Peke now that Elizabeth doesn't have any powers, a fact she'd quickly realize.
Elizabeth's eyes widened as realization dawned on her and she began to plummet to the ground. "My powers wont work! Is it the collar's fault?!" Elizabeth wondered as she closed her eyes, not wanting to see when she hit the concrete. 'Huh?' after the sensation of falling had ended Elizabeth cracked open her eyes to see what had happened. 'Who is?' the cat girl wondered as she felt someone holding her.
"You idiot! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Naruto asked the girl he just saved as he stood on the side of the building with her in his arms.
'Is this, her master?' Elizabeth questioned before her eyes closed once more as she lost consciousness, a faint blush on her cheeks.
"She's been in health care custody for one hour" Yukikaze said as her, Peke, and Naruto stood behind the health care center's animal transportation truck.
"Let me out!" Elizabeth yelled as she tried fruitlessly to pull apart the cage door keeping her in the back of the truck.
"Not until we find you a new owner" Yukikaze told the girl.
"You're giving her a new owner?" Naruto asked his sister as he stood there with his arms folded behind his head.
"Hm? Yeah, why do you ask?" Yuki asked as she looked from her clipboard over to the blond.
With a smirk Naruto turned his attention to the caged girl "Hey, Elizabeth right?". With the girl giving him a heated glare Naruto took a few steps closer to her. "You want to come with us?" Naruto asked the girl, shocking them as the three girls cried out in surprise together.
"Naruto! What are you doing!?" Peke called out to the blond, followed by Yuki asking if he was sure about that.
"Why the hell would I want to go with you!?" Elizabeth shouted at the blond.
"Because I have this" the blond said as he held up a key. "And this is the only thing that can take that collar off of you. All you have to do is agree to help us catch rouge Evos" Naruto told the girl before quickly pulling the key out of her reach as she tried to grab it through the bars.
"You, you" Elizabeth said with a conflicted expression and a glare sent at the blond.
"Guess that's a no then" Naruto said as he turned his back to the girl and started walking away.
"Wait!" Elizabeth yelled getting Naruto's attention as he looked back at her reddened face, whether it was from embarrassment or aggravation was anyone's guess.
"I'll get the paperwork ready while you guys work this out" Yuki said as she left Elizabeth staring at Naruto's happy expression in frustration.
