Alright boys and girls, I am back again and writing another chapter before I head back and relook my other chapters. I am surprised though how many people have looked at the story so far considering it was only about an hour since I posted it. I'm talking about right now when I am starting on another chapter. Anyways, now that I am confusing everybody,
Disclaimer: Don't own jack. Naruto or Rosario + Vampire are awesome, but not mine.
Rants today, nothing really just enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 2: The shinobi meets the succubus
A week had gone by in the academy since the whole Saizou incident with the whole school believing that Naruto kicked the living shit out of the molester. Walking down the halls, students left and right were avoiding Naruto like the plague out of fear that he would go crazy and deliver a can of whoop-ass upon themselves.
'Well this is a familiar feeling.' The blonde thought bitterly looking at the students who were trying to avoid making eye contact with him. Frowning at how the other students were acting towards him he continued down the hall reading the book that he was holding.
"Naruto-kun!" he heard a cry from down the hall. Looking up he smiled when he saw a familiar busty blue haired girl running to greet him.
"Hey Kurumu-chan, what's up?" he asked as the girl gave a little skip before stopping in front of him.
"You ready for home economics?" She asked with a confident grin.
"Of course Kurumu-chan," He replied as they were entering the classroom putting his book away.
Kurumu gave a curious glance at the book, "Hey Naruto-kun, why are you always reading that anyways?" she asked, "It seems like every time I see you, you have that book out." Naruto just looked at the bag were he put his book and gave a sad smile surprising the girl.
"It's a book one of my sensei's wrote. I like reading it because it kind of let's me never forget him you know?" He said to the blue haired succubus. Kurumu remained quite thinking.
'I've never seen Naruto-kun sad about anything before. I wonder what happened?' She thought before the teacher began to speak.
"Alright class, today we are going to individually be making whatever you want and I will be giving a grade to you by the end of class. Alright? Begin!" the teacher said making the students rush to their sections to grab all of their supplies to begin making something worthwhile. Naruto and Kurumu just looked at each other with a competitive glance before racing off to get their own ingredients for their respective dishes.
An hour later:
Kurumu just stared at the dish that laid in front of her. "Ramen…." She deadpanned at the dish.
"Of course!" Said the blonde. "What else would be able to give me an A in the class other than the dish from Kami herself?" he declared causing the blue hair girls' eye to twitch. She smacked him upside the head.
"How about something that doesn't come in an instant bowl you idiot." She said annoyed. "You could have actually worked on something better if you hadn't been helping me here and there. God Naruto-kun, sometimes your just too nice for your own good. Now your not going to get a good grade." She said feeling kinda guilty because the blonde had been watching over her things as well as his. How he did that, she wasn't too sure about.
Smiling sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head, "Meh…. Don't worry about it too much Kurumu-chan, I'm sure everything will work out fine in the end. I mean, come on! Ramen is awesome!" He exclaimed causing the girl to just roll her eyes and smile. She couldn't help it. Naruto just made her smile whenever she was around him. He just seemed to have a pure nature around him. She had found out real quickly that he wasn't a pervert like most of the boys in the school, he just liked Kurumu for who she was. Plain and simple. She had never had that relationship with someone like that before. She didn't really know what to make of it. Sure he was innocent, and she loved to take advantage of that almost daily. What could she say, she loved to tease him! God she loved to tease him, his reactions were just too cute and hilarious.
"Ramen Uzumaki-san, really?" The teacher came over interrupting their little conversation. "Sometimes I wonder if you even want to be in this class boy. Alright lets get this over with." The teacher sat down and took out her chopsticks to take a bite. She took a bite and began to chew, but stopped in mid chew with wide eyes. Slowly she looked at the bowl, then at the boy who made it, then back at the bowl swallowing the noodles. "….Oh my GOD! This Ramen is like a gift from Kami!" She cried out surprising a blue haired girl and getting a grin from the blonde. She started scarfing down the ramen at inhuman rates to get more of that delicious taste.
Kurumu just stared at the teacher wide eyed by her reaction, then at the grinning blonde who gave her the Gai-sensei smile with a thumbs up. "What'd I tell you Kurumu-chan," He said, "Kami's gift to us." The blue haired girl just giggled at his antics. The teacher stood up and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Uzumaki-san, that was delicious." She said with a smile, "You made a simple dish turn out to be one of the most delicious things that I have ever tasted. For that, You get a solid A-…" Silence permeated throughout the room.
"…Say what?" Naruto quietly replied just staring at her. Kurumu was speechless, why didn't he get an A+ if it tasted so good. Seeing his confusion, she decided to elaborate her reason for the grade.
"You see Uzumaki-san,," She began, "90% of the meal itself is all about how it tastes. But there has to be some effort put into the presentation of the meal." Causing Naruto to blink. "You see, when I first saw this bowl of ramen, I thought it was just going to be an ordinary bowl of ramen. I wasn't excited to eat it at all." She continued while Naruto was trying to internally deal with the blasphemy that the woman was stating left and right in front of him. I mean come on…. Who wouldn't be excited to eat a bowl of ramen no matter how boring it looked? "If you add a couple of ingredients to give it more color and flair, That would make this dish truly a dish from Kami." She ended with a smile before walking away. With that the bell rang and students began to exit the room. Naruto still in his shell shocked state was taken out of it when he saw a hand waving back and forth in front of him.
"Helloooo?" Questioned Kurumu, gaining the blondes attention. Immediately the blonde crossed his arms leaving the room with her while muttering something about people not knowing if something from Kami if it slapped them in the face. She giggled once again at his behavior. He then started in another direction than the blue haired girl was going.
"Where are you going Naruto-kun?" she asked getting the blondes attention once again.
"I'm off to eat the Tsukune and Moka-chan for lunch!" He replied happily. "You want to come?" he offered.
Kurumu was silent for a bit after she heard a certain pink haired girls' name. "Moka….Akashiya?" she questioned the blonde slowly, causing the blonde to tilt his head to the side in confustion. 'Kawaii' She mentally saved that image of him in her internal hardrive in her brain. But now wasn't the time to focus on that, she had more important matters to deal with.
"Uh… yea. They're like two of my closest friends." He said then getting a grin. "You should meet them, I'm sure that they would just love you!" Kurumu just blinked and smiled sadly.
"Go ahead Naruto-kun." She sighed, causing the blonde to become even more confused. "I have a couple of things that I need to get done, but maybe later kay?" she said with a smile. Naruto just laughed and nodded then going his separate way. Not noticing the girl he left behind clenching her fists.
'So that's why he's not infatuated with me' she thought, 'Cause he hanging around with that whore.' She had found it odd that Naruto wasn't worshipping her like all the other boys in the school were. She could tell that he was attracted to her, but she wanted him at her mercy. She stormed down the hall in a rage planning her revenge on a certain vampire for ruining her plans at the academy.
That Night:
"DAMMIT" Naruto yelled throwing papers, scrolls and ink all over the place. Strange symbols could be seen drawn all around his room along with different books of theory of Fuinjutsu. "I don't need to fucking absorb chakra! I need something to fix chakra dammit!' Naruto sat down angrily glaring at the books scrolls and a piece of paper he had in front of him. He then heard a knock on his door. Getting up and calming down, the teen answered the door to find Tsukune on the other side.
"Hey Naruto." He said nervously, "You ok man? I heard a lot of yelling and I was wondering if you were alright?" He said glancing and seeing the mess that was inside. Naruto just smiled at the concern of his new friend.
"I'm fine Tsukune, I'm just having a little trouble figuring out a couple of homework assignments." He said then getting a confused look from the teen in front of him he elaborated, "When I get stressed or confused, I tend to work off my stress by working out, you know lifting weights or push ups. That kind of stuff." Tsukune nodded, somewhat understanding what the blonde was trying to convey. "So what's up? Is that it?" the blonde asked. Tsukune hesitated.
"Well it's about Moka-san." Said in a low voice surprising the blonde.
"What do you mean? You two are great friends!" the blonde said. "Just like me and you right?" Tsukune smiled at that but continued.
"Well, I'm feeling like Moka is just hanging around me to just suck my blood you know?" He said getting an eyebrow raise from the blonde. "I mean what else would a beautiful girl like her be hanging out with a guy like m-HEY!" He cried out as the blonde smack him upside his head. "What the hell was that for?" He shouted.
"For being a dumbass!" Naruto said causing the boy to quiet down. "Do you really think a girl like Moka would do something like that? We both know her Tsukune and your telling me that you don't trust her?" he glared at the boy
"W-w-well no b-but…." Tsukune started.
"But nothing, do you think that the my friendship with Moka-chan is based off of nothing as well? Our friendship was formed through you." Naruto pointed out, "Tsukune, your just thinking too much of things. All of us are friends, just accept it. We all have our weird quirks. I don't just keep you around to pull stupid pranks on you all the time." That got a grumble out Tsukune something about leaving fake spiders all in his bed and underwear drawer. "The same with Moka-chan. We're all friends, don't worry about it." Naruto finished with a wave of his hand causing Tsukune to smile.
"Thanks Naruto…" He said quietly, "You really are a good friend." Naruto just looked at him before grinning.
"Alright enough of this emotional crap!" he said smiling, "Anymore and I'll have to take you on a pranking mission to cheer us up." Causing the boy to smile even more.
'What the hell is a pranking mission,' he thought, 'sounds exciting.'
"I got some more studies to get done tonight so I'll see you tomorrow aight? We'll hang out after classes ok?" Getting a nod from the boy Naruto said goodbye and shut the door. Turning around to them mess that he created before. Picking things up he started to clean the ink off of the scrolls and books it had poured onto.
Ten minutes later when everything was clean again, he sat down on his bed in a meditative stance and started to control his breathing.
The next thing he knew he was in a sewer, in front of a large cage, a small seal could be found on the padlock of the cell. Naruto quietly walked up to the cage and put his hand slowly on the bars of it. Eyes watering he looked at the creature that dwelled within the prison cell. Clenching his fist until it drew blood he turned away and started walking away from the cell. With determination and tears in his eyes he silently spoke, "Don't worry Kurama, I will find a way to heal you. That is my promise of a lifetime!" Leaving the sleeping creature alone in his cage.
4:30 a.m.
The ungodly sound of an alarm clock went off in Naruto's room. Activating a seal on the palm of Naruto's hand, a kunai shot out and pierced the cursed thing sticking it to the wall while the sound slowly faded away allowing the cursed piece of machinery to die a gruesome death. The blonde slowing opened his eyes and stretched.
"I really need to find a better way to hide my training." He said to himself getting out of bed and grabbing his training gear. He over his outfit to make sure there were no substantial damages done to the armor. It was a standard ANBU issued armor with a nodaichi. Naruto, giving a nod to show that there was nothing wrong with it, put it on and jumped out the window to find a clearing for him to train.
2 hours later
If one were to venture into the dead forest, they would see something quite unusual. There in the middle of a pond stood a man with blonde hair and 3 whisker lines on the sides of his face. He was sweating profusely, and breathing heavily. Around the blonde were 6 identical copies of him, each in a stance that showed they were ready to attack at any given moment. A bird cried out from a distance signaling the clones to all attack the original.
The original grabbed a fist that was coming from behind, he added chakra to he other hand and threw it at the attacker palm open where a sickle came spinning out attached to a chain slicing the clone in half. Using the chain, Naruto blocked 5 other kicks that were aiming for the top of his head.
"Urrggggg…" He grunted before throwing off the extra weight. On the other end of the chain what a lengthened kunai, he jerked the chain in a direction to cause the kunai to shoot out at one of the clones piercing it in the skull dispelling it. Grabbing the kunai in his hand, he started to swing the sickled end around in a deadly manner. The 4 other clones got into their stances and charged in for an attack. Even before they were halfway there, Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as another clone came up from under the water in his defense zone. Wrapping his arm around the chain, the clone then kick the original effectively taking the weapon away from the blonde,
Naruto's eyes narrowed as the other clones split into different directions. A couple of the clones threw a couple shuriken's at the blonde, grinning as they made different hand signs.
"Kage Shuriken no Jutsu" they cried, suddenly a couple of shuriken's turned into hundreds. Naruto added chakra to a seal on this other hand and absorbed the shuriken;s before using his other hand to launch the metal objects at the other clones dispelling three more. Naruto looked up to see a clone with an incoming blue orb in the palm of his hand heading straight for him.
"RASENGAN!" Cried the clone, Naruto concentrated his chakra to the seal in his hand and met the attack with his palm out. Struggling for a bit the original finally was able to absorb the attack before spinning around with his other hand extended to the clone who was coming up behind him.
"Rasengan." The blonde whispered as the blue ball of energy that the other clone had made formed in his palm and blew the other clone away. 'Space time seals' the blonde thought, 'gotta love them.' Spinning around again with his other palm out, a three-pronged kunai came flying out of his hand aiming for the last clone. Barely able to dodge it, the clone slid to one side only to be wrapped by ninja wire before being cut in half by a giant shuriken wheel.
The original sighed in relieve as he saw the last of his clones go down. Flimsy as they may be, they still are a deadly training method to be working with. Naruto went over to gather his equipment. Picking up a three pronged-kunai, he thought, 'Well, I guess I can finally use the Hirashin in battle now. How my old man was able to latch seals on people is a mystery I need to figure out.' Going over to his other equipment still thinking about his battle simulation, 'I'm able to incorporate the fuinjutsu I've been studying for the most part.' Looking at his wrist, 'These gravity seals are awesome, I should have started with these from the start.' Glancing at what looked like to be a Land of Fire symbol on his bicep, 'I still need to test that out and see if that works as well.' He thought grinning at the prospects of the drawing on his arm.
Looking up, it seemed to be getting brighter, cue for him to get his butt in gear and get ready for school. After a quick run, he headed to his room, showered and got dressed for the day. Putting on his suit jacket, he looked inside at the different intricate designs that he had made from sewing a special blend of thread into the fabric. He remembered when he asked a cute pink haired vampire to teach him how to sew. Sure he knew how to sew flesh in the middle of a battle-field, but sewing on fabric, takes a more feminine touch.
Flashback no jutsu:
"You want me to do what?" A surprised Moka asked as a certain blonde teen nervously stood in front of her with a slight blush on his face.
"I asked if you could help me learn to sew?" He said, He was looking everywhere but at the girl "Please Moka-chan. A lot of times I find myself just getting rips and tares in my clothes and I was hoping you could teach me to sew!?" He cried out with his hands in front of him in a pleading fashion. Moka couldn't help but giggle at the site of the blonde.
"Sure Naruto-kun!" chirped Moka getting a huge grin from the blonde and he leaped up in celebration while picking up the girl swinging around in a circle. While surprised at the act, Moka couldn't help but enjoy the happiness that the blonde gave off at such a simple request.
"Oh thank you thank you thank you Moka-chan!" Said Naruto with a grin. "I promise I'll repay you back sometime!" Causing the girl to smile at Naruto.
End Flashback no Jutsu:
Shaking off the memory, Naruto started to move onto his classroom while reading his book that he always seemed to have out.
"What is that girl?" A pink hair vampire asked herself. "What is she to Tsukune? They really looked like lovers didn't they? Totally all over each other like that…." Her thought were interrupted by a shout.
"MOKA-CHAN!" she looked up to see her friend Naruto coming down the hall to her. She quickly gathered herself up and smiled at the blonde.
"Hello Naruto-kun, How are you?" She said with a strained face. Naruto's eyebrow just rose at that.
"Moka-chan? Whats wrong?" The blonde asked the girl causing the girls face to become even more strained.
"Nothing is wrong Naruto-kun? Why would you think that?" She asked slightly panicking that the teen had already seen through her.
"Moka-chan, we're friends right?" The blond asked, causing the girl to look at him curiously before she nodded her head. "I can tell when something is wrong with my friends. So just tell me, what's going on?" Moka hesitated before she began to tell Naruto about what had transpired between her and Tsukune, then later when she saw another girl hanging onto to him.
"I-I-I think that Tsukune-kun only thinks that I am his friend because of his blood and th—WHACK!- itaii!" she mumbled out rubbed a sore spot on the side of her head from where Naruto smack her.
"Moka-chan, don't be an idiot. Tsukune absolutely adores you." Naruto said causing the girl to look up at him. "I mean, that much is obvious, but if you honestly feel that way, then just talk to him. Do other things with him. You know how you taught me how to sew? That's what friends do. Hang out with him, get to know who the real Tsukune is you know?" The blonde finished as a light of understanding could be seen come across the girls face. Naruto then brushed a couple of strands of hair affectionately out of her face, "Now, I don't want to see another frown on that face alright?" He said getting a nod and a smile with a light blush from the girl. "Good. Now go find him and talk to him. I'll see you later Moka-chan." Naruto said with a wave as he started down the hallway.
Moka just looked after the retreating figure. Something about Naruto, made her feel like she could do just about anything…. 'Maybe it's his eyes.' She thought, 'When I look at them, its like he knows there isn't anything he couldn't do.' She continued thinking about the blonde with a small blush on her face. Realizing what she was thinking about her face flushed even more. 'What am I doing! I like Tsukune! Naruto is just a really good friend that's all. Besides…' She paused, 'I don't think that he will ever see me that way.' She started making her way down the hall even more confused than before.
After another lovely class period Naruto was walking side by side with Kurumu both talking about unimportant things in life.
"I just don't get it Kurumu-chan." Naruto gave a loud sigh while Kurumu just giggled at the blondes new dilemma. "You got fruit, good, cake, even better, fruit cake, nasty crap!" The girl started laughing at the blondes simple problem.
"It's ok Naruto-kun, it's just one of those mysteries of life we'll never solve!" She said with a smile while the blonde mumbled something about crappy fruit that doesn't even taste like cake. They then came to the point where they usually parted ways. Kurumu stopped though thinking about something.
'Today's the day that I take out that pink whore!' she thought while getting a confused look from Naruto.. 'I don't want to do this to Naruto, he's probably the nicest guy I have ever met… but if I use that charm, he would never find out.' Naruto on the other hand was waving his hand in front of her face trying to get her attention.
"HEELLLLOOOO! KURUMU-CHAN YOU THERE!" he yelled causing the girl to jump back with fright.
"S-s-sorry Naruto-kun!" She stammered, "Just got lost in thought there." Naruto smiled at that.
"No worries Kurumu-chan, happens all the time to me!" He said. Turning to walk down the other way he started, "Well, I"ll se-" he felt a tug on his arm stopping him from going any further. Looking back he saw Kurumu looking at the ground a little nervous.
"What's up Kurumu-chan," he asked. The girl was now biting her bottom lip.
"Naruto…" she paused, "Would you be willing to help me with something?" She asked him getting him to blink in confusion before grinning happily.
Of course Kurumu-chan, whatever you need!" He declared. Steeling her resolve, she grabbed his face and looked straight into his eyes, making him go wide eyed in surprise.
"Then….. forgive me." She whispered before activating her charm kissing him.
A pink haired girl sat on the steps outside of a building mopping around thinking about her predicament. "I wonder… what I am to Tsukune?" She said, "Do I really just want to suck his blood?" Tears started to form in her eyes.
"Naïve one… Tsukune is just being manipulated." A voice came out of nowhere causing the girl to give a startled cry. "It's called charm… It's a work of sorcery which turns the opposite sex into your slave. Didn't Naruto already tell you that you are precious to Tsukune? Stop being pathetic little girl!"
"What's going on… a voice coming from the rosary!?" Moka cried out a little bit fearful.
"I am another you… I'm using the rosary as a medium through which to talk to you from deep within your psyche." A dawn of realization came across Moka's face, 'The succubus is a monster that seduces males. A male who receives a kiss from a succubus is doomed to be her slave for all eternity..." Inner Moka stated causing Outer Moka to go wide eyed.
"We have to go stop her!" She yelled out and started running to find Tsukune before it was too late.
Minutes later
Moka was running down a hallway trying her best to find Tsukune before the spell was finally placed on him.
"Moka-chan!" she heard someone call her. She turned around and found Naruto walking up to her. "Hey Moka-chan, what's the rush." Relief went to her eyes as she saw her friend.
"Naruto-kun, quick we have to find Tsukune-kun!" She cried out getting a confused look from the blonde. "If we don't something really bad is going to happen to him!" Naruto just scratched his head.
"Actually," he started getting a look from the girl, " I just saw Tsukune." He stated. The girls eyes widened.
"Really!? Where!?" She cried.
"I just saw him at the infirmary. He took a tumble down some stairs and got banged up really bad." Naruto said with a sad look. "I just saw him 5 minutes ago. Now they're not letting anyone visit him. The nurse says he has to rest." Relief and worry came across the pink haired vampires face. At least he would be safe fore not. "Come on Moka-chan, let's go get some ramen to eat or something." Naruto said. The girl was about to accept his proposal before she saw something in his eyes…. Nothing….. It was like staring into a soulless person. There was no emotion, no life, nothing.
"He is already under the girls spell!" Inner Moka stated, "Quickly, you must get away from him and find Tsukune!" she said with urgency.
"Ummm…. Naruto, I think I am going to go see Tsukune-kun anyways. I'm really worried for him." Moka said, getting a strained smile come from the blonde.
"But Moka-chan, they're not letting anybody visit right now. Come on Moka-chan, he's probably already asleep. Now let me tell you the history of ancient ramen making…" He began trying to put an arm around Moka to lead her away only for her to move underneath his arm.
"No!" she cried out, "I'm going to go see Tsukune-kun!" She turned to run the other direction towards the infirmary only to blink in surprise when she saw the blonde directly in front of her.
"I'm sorry Moka-chan," Naruto now said void of any smile or emotion whatsoever. "I cannot let you interrupt Kurumu-sama right now for any reason." He went to grab the girl only for her to shove him three feet into a nearby wall.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun I'll make it up to you later!" Moka yelled as she ran off to go save Tsukune.
Naruto lie in the wall arms twitching sporadically. 'Why does every girl I associate with have the ability to one way or another kick my ass?' zombie Naruto thought before digging himself out of the crater in the wall.
"KYA!" Naruto's lifeless eyes opened.
"That was Kurumu-sama. I must hurry!" He said using a shushin to make his travel faster.
"Calm yourself, that attack was too straightforward." Said the calm mocking voice of a silver haired vampire landed on the ground in front of a downed succubus. Though you act like a little devil, your just a naïve little girl!" She said with a wicked grin. Kurumu just shrank as the vampire came closer to her. "I'll make it so you can never walk again." Tears were now forming in the succubus's eyes. Then all of a sudden, a blur appeared in front of the downed girl.
"I'm sorry Moka-chan!" The blonde said with a smile while looking at her with his emotionless eyes. "I don't want to fight you, but I won't let any harm come to Kurumu-sama." Finished the teen taking a fighting stance. Moka narrowed her eyes at the blonde.
"Naruto," she said sharply, "You are under her spell! Snap out of it!" Naruto looked at her blankly.
"I don't know what you are talking about Moka-chan, all I know is that I won't let you lay a hand on Kurumu-sama." He said emotionlessly. Kurumu's eye's widened.
'What is he doing here?!' She thought, 'I told him to stay away from this place!' Moka gave an annoying click with her tongue.
"If you do not move, I will be forced to move you Naruto" She said her eye's glaring at the teen threateningly. The blonde shrugged.
"I don't want to fight you Moka-chan, but if you force me to, I will attack you." Stated Naruto still in his fighting stance.
"Fine!" Moka yelled, "But you asked for it Naruto!" with that she disappeared from sight only to reappear in front of the blonde kicking him squarely in the jaw. She felt her foot connect with the blondes head, but her eye's widened when there was a puff of smoke and there instead was a log that looked like it had been broken apart. Wires then formed around the vampire gripping her tightly. She growled as she was swung around by the wire until she felt a kick connect with her own head.
Naruto having substituted with a log and swing the vampire girl around with his ninja wire roundhouse kicked the crap out of Moka. She was send flying in a random direction crashing through a couple trees. Naruto landed with a crouch near Kurumu.
"N-n-naruto-kun?..." Kurumu whispered amazed at what had transpired. Tsukune also felt that his jaw had fallen off and was left on the ground.
'What the hell!" the boy thought, 'I know Naruto is human, but how the heck did he pull that off.' He noticed Kurumu started to try and get up.
"Please stay back Kurumu-sama." Naruto stated calmly causing the succubus to look at him in confusion. "This fight is far from over. Please get away while you can. I will hold her off." He said emotionlessly causing the girl to feel even more guilty at the way she was controlling the blonde. As if on cue a flying tree was sent their way. Naruto quickly picked up Kurumu and shushined away in a nearby tree. They could see a calm, tattered silver haired vampire walking to the crater that she had formed with the succubus moments before.
"I thought there was something different with you Naruto." She started quietly, "I don't know exactly what you did there, but that definitely was something no normal human could do." She shot her eyes up on the branch where Naruto and Kurumu were standing. "What are you?!" she asked sharply, leaving no room for question behind. Her curiosity was now overwhelming her. That kick that Naruto had given her didn't hurt much, but there was more power behind that kick than any normal human being should have. What was he?
"I am your friend Moka-chan." Came the emotionless reply. "But I will fight you if you continue to go after Kurumu-sama." Anger rose from the vampire. She glared heatedly at the succubus.
"How dare you hide behind him like a coward!" she yelled at the other girl. "You claim that my other self is using Tsukune for his blood, your no better using him as a shield because you are too weak to fight me yourself!" Kurumu shivered at the glare the vampire was giving her.
"B-b-but I didn't tell him to come." She said quietly before being interrupted by Naruto.
"It's alright Kurumu-sama. I will protect you with my life." He said a little emotion coming back to his eyes. Moka narrowed her eyes, getting even angrier at the declaration the blonde had made.
"And you Naruto." She said bitterly causing the emotionless boy to gaze at her. "I expected something better from you. Someone of Tsukune's caliber was able to break off this weak pathetic excuse of a monsters charm and you can't?" She growled before stopping, eye's widening at a thought that crossed her mind. "Unless…" She started quietely, "You kissed him didn't you!" She yelled at the cowering girl behind Naruto. Tsukune now panicked.
"But that means he's her slave now forever?!" He shouted in fear for his friend. Moka was now glaring daggers at the succubus.
"Not necessarily." She said getting Tsukune to quiet down. "Naruto could be this whore's slave forever if she wished it to be, but, she can relinquish control over him whenever she so desires it. Not many outside of the succubus race know this because normally succubi don't have any reason to relinquish control over their victims." Tsukune's eyes widened.
"Then that means all we need to do is get her to free Naruto right?" He asked the scary vampire. She clenched her fists tightly and growled.
"Oh… I'm gonna do more than that to her." She spat out venomously. "Release him from your charm now succubus!" She yelled disappearing from view to reappear behind the girl ready to kick her, only to dodge a shuriken attack from the blonde causing her to retreat away from the succubus. He then reappeared in front of her and delivered a series of punches and kicks her, only to dodge a shuriken attack from the blonde causing her to retreat away from the succubus. He then reappeared in front of her and delivered a series of punches and kicks. Moka started dodging and swatting the attacks away with some difficulty before the girl managed to gain her own ground.
"Your fighting skills are…. Commendable." She stated with mild excitement. She couldn't help it, it had been ages since anyone of some worth was brought to her for her to release her energy. "I wonder what else you are capable of….human." Not a second later she felt the ground move under her. Not knowing what was going on, she jumped back in time to see a pair of hands come out of the ground to try and grab her feet. Hearing something move behind her she turned around and saw another blond try slice her with a giant zanbatou that he had somehow taken out of the inside of his green suit. She quickly moved mid-air out of the way, causing the blonde to take a swing, miss, and sail past her. The said blonde spun his body in a couple circles before hurling the giant blade at the vampire. Moka's eyes widened again, barely able to move out of the way of the blade, then something caught her eye, another body grabbed the spinning blade and was coming for a finishing blow right above her. With no time to think, she caught the blade with both of her hands before the thing could bifercate her.
'What is going on?!' She thought before ripping the blade away from the blonde and kicking him in the face, once again disappearing in a puff of smoke. Her eyes widened as she saw a blue spinning ball come through the smoke on the other end as well as another blond coming with it. She glanced at the ball quickly, if it hit her, it wouldn't finish her, but it would hurt like hell, and she did not feel like going through tons of pain today. Grabbing the wrist with the ball, she snapped it, while kneeing the boy in the stomach before elbowing him in the back of the head. She felt a kick coming from the back of her head, grabbing the foot she broke it until another fist started to race towards her face.
'What the hell is he?!' she thought as she grabbed the hand and snapped his arm at the elbow causing the boy to cry in pain. She thought that was the end of it until she saw that he was coming in for a headbutt. 'He just won't stop! I need to finish this now or something grave is bound to happen' Grabbing his hair and pulling him to the side she punch him with a great deal of strength over and over again, until the blonde became unresponsive.
Tsukune couldn't believe it, Naruto, his best friend, fought like a demon before being nearly beaten to death by the girl who he had a crush on.
Moka released a sigh that she was holding looking at the bloody battered up boy in her hand. She felt guilty for having to go to such an extent, but the blonde would just not go down. He fought like a crazed man with nothing to lose. Her own blood was pumping rapidly and she could feel her adrenaline rushing through her veins. She checked his pulse to make sure he was still alive. A slight relief reached her eyes as she felt that with some medical attention, he should be fine. Admiration and respect filled her eyes as she gently placed the boy on the ground. She had come to respect the boy as she saw him interact with her outer self. He didn't have any arterial motives in being with her. He genuinely just wanted to be friends with her. Sure Tsukune was nice, but he wanted to be with her. Also, Naruto didn't fear her like Tsukune did. He carried himself with confidence and his eyes had a look of determination she couldn't help but admire. It excited her actually and she was getting used to the feeling. And after the way he just fought now, she had to know what he was…. But first, she gave a loathful glare at the girl who had caused this whole ordeal.
Kurumu had tears falling down her face. 'Why, why would Nauro-kun do that?! I only told him to distract Moka, not defend me!' she thought before she felt a ton of killing intent being pointed directly at her. She went wide-eyed with fear as she saw Moka get up from besides Naruto and stalk over to her.
"How dare you coward!" she said with great hate. "Using another to protect yourself because you are too weak?!" The succubus was now shivering with fear as the girl continued towards her.
"I-I-I didn't know!" She shouted, "I told him to stay away! He wasn't supposed to get involved!" She screamed her heart now almost broken at the betrayl that she caused against the blonde. Moka Narrowed her eyes.
"Well he did get involved. You tried to kill two people who meant the world to my other self succubus." She spat out the word with digust in her voice. "If it was just me, I would just cripple you, but because you made me hurt him… I'm going to kill you!" She said with a dark voice, nails and fangs elongating from their places. She continued towards the girl until a certain brown-haired teen moved between the two, rosary in his hands. "Tsukune move!" She said forcefully. "Was this not the woman who not only tried to kill you but manipulated Naruto as well putting him in the state he is in now." Moka finished pointing at the bloody blonde that was laying on the ground. Tsukune just smiled.
"That is enough. I don't believe that Kurumu-san was actually doing this out of purely bad intentions." He said getting a surprised look out of the succubus. "It's just that I can't see Kurumu-san as being bad at heart and I don't think that Naruto would disagree with me either." He said scratching his chin grinning. This caused a large blush to appear on Kurumu's face. "Just like how the Moka-san is someone we can depend on right?" he finished.
Moka glared at the boy. "Don't misunderstand boy!" Snapped Moka grabbing the rosary. "I just didn't want your blood to be stolen away from me… I'm definitely different from the other Moka…" She said before looking over at the downed blonde boy. "Take care of him as well." She said quietly getting a nod from Tsukune before placing the Rosary back on her choker reverting back to the pink haired ball of joy. She collapsed in Tsukune's arms asleep while Tsukune just wondered what the heck was going on.
He saw Kurumu walk to his side, looking at the ground nervously. "I'm terribly sorry for what happened!' she blurted out. "I never meant for any of this to happen!" She looked like she was on the verge of crying. Tsukune just smiled.
"Don't worry Kurumu-san, everyone makes mistakes." Surprising the girl. "It's what we make of those mistakes that makes us the people that we are today." He said with a grin, causing the girl to blush a deep shade of red. He then looked over at Naruto. "Do you mind if you take Naruto to the infirmary, I'm going to bring Moka-san there as well." Kurumu nodded fervently before going to the blonde and looking down on him. She could see his broken and bloody face where Inner Moka had unleashed her punches from hell on. She slid her hand down one side of his face.
'I'm so sorry Naruto-kun, I promise I will make this up to you.' she thought. Suddenly she stopped when she started to hear a low rumble coming from the blonde. She listened closely and noticed that Naruto was actually purring. 'KAWAIIII!' She thought, saving the blondes little secret for later. She picked him and with a grunt. "Geez Naruto-kun…. You need to lay off the ramen!"
"What!?" Tsukune cried in surprise. "The rosary started talking to you!?" Moka just nodded at the boys question.
"Yea this time the voice ended up saving us, but… it's strange isn't it. Maybe the seal is weakening?" She questioned. "Hey… If it comes to the point where the seal doesn't work anymore…. Tsukune…. You would still like me right?" She asked shyly.
"Of course I will!" Tsukune jumped and exclaimed. Even if you are a little scary, even if you suck my blood. To me, Moka-san, is Moka-san!" then he thought about another of his friends. "And I am sure that Naruto would feel the same way too." Moka just sadly smiled at that. She felt extremely guilty for what had happened to the blonde the day before. It was her fault that he was in the infirmary with all of those injuries. The nurse said that it would be lucky if Naruto could recover a full 100% in 6 months.
"Good Morning!" shouted another voice causing both of the teens to jump and turn around. Moka Narrowed her eyes at the culprit.
"Kya! Kurumu-chan!" She cried angrily, "What do you want now?!" still angry at the succubus. Said girl just smiled at Tsukune.
"Tsukune-kun I baked some cookies, won't you eat them with me?" Getting a confused look from both of them.
"Huh…?" Tsukune asked intelligently, "Why me?" The succubus just blushed and placed a hand on one side of her face.
"Ohhh, remember when I said I was searching for my life's one and only destined one? I've decided… It's Tsukune!" Getting a shocked face coming from said boy. "I remember what my mother once had told me about how she met her destined one. All of her charms, or techniques never worked on him when she first met him. So she decided to try and see if she could make him fall in love with her naturally. That's how she knew he was her destined one. And all of my advances towards you Tsukune, they didn't work. No matter how much I tried, you just wouldn't be mine. So I've finally found my destined one! Oh Tsukune, now I've totally fallen for you!" She said with hearts in her eyes. Until they met Moka's who was giving her a death glare which she gladly returned. Kurumu didn't see what was so bad. Her mom found her destine one this way, she needed to find her destine one as well. She had been searching for so long. She never really knew how she was going to go about and do it, but then this happened. The same situation that happened with her mother as well! She just had to make Tsukune hers. Tsukune just blanched.
"H-h-hey girls." He stuttered at the girls who still had lightning going between the both of them. "H-h-how bout we go visit Naruto." The girls stopped glaring at each other when they heard the blondes name and looked at Tsukune. "There's a good chance that he might be awake now. I think that he could us the company." He said, both girls getting sad looks on their faces, but both nodded regardless.
At the infirmary:
"What do you mean he's not here?!" Shouted all three teens at a very confused nurse who just smiled sheepishly.
"Well I don't know." She said, "With his injuries, he shouldn't have been able to get out of bed for at least 3 weeks. So I left for a couple of hours to get lunch, and when I got back, he was no longer here." She finished smiling while sticking her tongue out of her mouth.
Getting an eye-tick from all three teens, they left the infirmary grumbling about how women like her gave nurses a bimbo name. Walking down the hall Tsukune asked, "Where could he have gone off to then? He looked like he was really hurt." Getting a wince from both of the girls next to him. They were about so split up to look for him when they heard a strange conversation passing a nearby door.
"…. And did you know that a ramen museum opened in Yokohama in 1994. That's why ramen is so great!" Shouted a familiar voice to the three.
"Really now." Said a seductive feminine voice, "You are just too cute! How is it you don't have a girlfriend already?" Causing two teens outside the door to become wide-eyed while the male just raised an eyebrow. The teens pushed open a door to see a bandaged Naruto being fed ramen from a bowl from a rather attractive green haired female. "Don't worry," she said seductively, "Let Eiko-chan take care of you especially with you injuries." Causing the blonde to grin innocently.
"As long as the ramen keeps coming, you can help me all day!" He grinned. "This cooking class is the best thing that has ever been created Dattebayo!" He said before widening his eyes slapping his hands to his face, incidentally hitting himself with his casts that were on both arms. The girl just grinned at the boy and with a predatory smirk as she glomped the poor boy.
"Kawaiii! You have a verbal tick that is so cute!" She stopped when she fell a small amount of killing intent from behind her. Looking back she saw a couple of demons with glowing eyes and blue and pink hair staring at her. Naruto got out of the girls grasp and looked up at the two glaring girls.
"Oh hey guys!" He said with a grin. "Weirdest thing happened to me today when I woke up." Causing the girls to snap out of their demonic modes. "When I woke up I was in the infirmary with all of these bandages and casts on. What happened?" He asked getting a guilty look from both of the girls, "Did I fall off of a large cliff again?"
'Again?' They all thought.
"Anyways, I got way hungry, then I remembered that if we pay, the cooking class or club will make whatever food I want so I came here and Eiko-chan here he- Where'd she go?" He asked looking all around for the girl. The others hadn't even noticed that she was gone either and were puzzled about where the green haired girl had gone.
"That's weird?" Said the blonde while on the inside thinking, 'That's not good. I'm getting rusty if I couldn't sense her leave from 3 feet away from me.' Breaking out of his thought process he looked at his friends again. "So guys, what's up?" Kurumu looked at Naruto and her eye's started to tear up before she launched herself at him.
"Naruto-kun I'm sooooo sorryyy! Wahhhh!" She started crying into the confused blondes chest. Naruto not really knowing what was happening just patted her back confused until the girl calmed herself down. She then proceeded to tell the blonde all that had happened up until the point where she brought him to the infirmary. "A-a-and I can u-understand if you never wanted to see me again Naruto-kun, but I want you to know I am sooo sorry!" She said still with tears in her eyes. Naruto was silent for awhile thinking about what she had said.
"Ummm. Naruto." Said a shy pink haired girl. "I too am sorry about what had happened. If it wasn't for my inner demon, then this wouldn't have happened either. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" She shouted bowing to the blonde in apology. The blonde remained quiet before turning around and taking out a scroll. The three teens looked over Naruto's shoulder to see what he was doing. He unrolled it taking up the space of three extra seat spaces before making a hand sign.
"KAI!" He said before three more bowls of hot steaming ramen where produced with a pair of chop sticks. He then started eating his own ramen and looked back when he noticed that no one had really moved. "What?" he asked blankly with a noodle hanging from his mouth.
The three teen looked at the blonde in confusion. "Umm… Naruto?" asked Tsukune, "What are you doing?" The blonde raised an eyebrow.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He asked as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I'm giving you guys some of my ramen." The teens just stared at Naruto like he was crazy. Naruto sighed, "Fine! Then as your guys punishment for something that happened that I have no idea what happened, you have to eat ramen with me!" He said with an angry scowl. The three teens blinked.
"That's it?!" Kurumu asked.
"Do you not want me to forgive you?" The blonde asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well … no I do, but what I did was horrible to you! How can you forgive me just like that?!" She cried out. Naruto just smiled.
"Easy, just like this." And then he put a large mouthful of ramen in her mouth with his chopstick causing the girl jump back in surprise almost choking on the ramen. "Oi! That's grade A ramen right there, don't waste it." He shouted at the girl. "Now get over here and eat this gift from Kami before it gets cold." He said causing the other teens just to smile warmly at him as they sat down. They ended up talking for awhile about mundane things. A couple times they asked the blonde how he was able to do some of the things that he did or if he really was a human, but the boy only winked, said he was a human, the most sexy badass human on the face of the planet, and replied 'trade secret', whenever they asked about his abilities. After awhile they started to leave the cooking classroom to their other classes.
"So how come I don't remember anything that happened though when Tsukune can?" Naruto questioned the Succubus who was now happily eating he bowl of ramen.
"That's cause I used a more advance version of my charm on you. I didn't want you to think any less of me and remember what I was trying to have you do." She said still nervously, afraid that the blonde was going to be angry with her. "Your really the first friend that I have ever had, and I really didn't want to ruin our friendship." Naruto just smiled at that.
"Don't worry Kurumu, we'll always be friends no matter what ok?" He said happily to her getting the girl to give him a beautiful smile of her own.
"As for Tsukune, the reason why he wasn't affected bymy charms is because he is my destined one!" She chirped with a smile. In the back they hear a pink haired girl shout out "No he isn't!" Ignoring the girl, Kurumu started to explain to Naruto about succubi and their destined ones.
"So… Tsukune is your destined one you call it?" Naruto asked a smiling Kurumu who was in the process of shoving Tsukune in her bountiful bosom.
"Yep!" She chirped, "I've completely fallen for him, just like he's falling for me right now!"
'That might be due to the lack of oxygen' thought Naruto.
"Get your hands off my Tsukune-kun" Shouted Moka as she shoved her off of him before saying, "Kapu-chuu!" and started to suck his blood.
Naruto just looked at the scene fondly, thinking of the friends of his past. Then a feeling came up that he was able to ignore since coming to the academy, loneliness. They really didn't need him there intruding on their time. But he would be there regardless, in case they ever needed his help. It wasn't like he had anything really better to do. Naruto just sighed, "I'll see you later guys," Naruto said gaining the attention of the other teens. "I'll come by after classes or something," he said in a forced voice before heading off in a random direction. The teens just looked at each other in confusion.
'Is Naruto/-kun ok?' They all thought at the same time.
'Naruto-kun…. Why can't I get my mind off of him?' Kurumu thought going her own way to her classes. 'I can't have these feelings for him! Momma found her destined one this way, Tsukune has to be mine!' She continued confused. 'Then why do I feel like there still is something that I am missing?'
'Naruto-kun' thought a pink haired vampire. 'You looked so sad. I promise I will make all this up to you' she finished with resolve in her eyes. All three friends separated, worried and thinking about the blonde enigma that had entered into their lives.
Elsewhere
'So that's the famous Naruto Uzumaki huh?' The green haired girl from earlier thought to herself as she watched the blonde take off in his own direction. 'He would make a fine addition to the clan. He hides it well, but anyone fighting that well under hypnosis, has got to be powerful.' Turning her eyes downward towards the blondes booty, 'Plus…. There's always the perks as well.' She grinned evilly licking her lips before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
END
Holy Crap! Why do these things take forever. Man! I serious have a new respect for those who do this thing. Even those stories that aren't that great but have 300K words, man, props to those guys.
Couple of things, I felt that Naruto getting the crap kicked out of him was appropriate due to the fact that Moka is a S-class super vampire and Naruto was in a genjutsu, not using his sage mode or demon cloak fox. I would classify Naruto right now as a A-class ninja without sage mode or the fox cloak.
I will be editing these last two chapters as my next project. So chapter 3 will be coming out a little later than this second one did. I just wanted to get these stories off to you guys as quickly as I can so you have something to read.
Don't tell me the fight scenes sucked, I know they did. I need to work on them. I've never written them before, so if anybody has any advice on how to write on, please feel free to let me know so I can make changes and for future fight scenes. I'm tired so right now, but I will listen and respond respectfully to anyone who decides to send me a message.
Pairings, well I know they seem to be leading one way, but trust me when I say it will be a little heckic in the love naruto relationship. It probably won't happen for awhile, but we'll see what happens.
Now I have to go to bed, because in the morning I have a ton of work I need to get done so I can somewhat support the life that I have. Hope people liked this chapter. Peace!
