Chapter 2

The next morning, Gemma was really tempted to start her bodycount yesterday when she went out shopping for groceries when she saw a young boy around twelve, booted out of a store.

"GET OUT OF MY STORE BRAT!" The owner cried out, the blonde dusted himself off and turned to walk away the hurt evident in his eyes.

"Hey kid, what's wrong?" Gemma asked curiously looking around for the grocery store and clothing store. 'Weapons can wait' she thought to herself.

"Sorry miss, didn't see you. The shop keeper chucked me out for no reason." The boy said looking at the ground dejectedly.

"Come in with me, lets see what happens...I'm Gemma by the way Mahou Potter Gemma." Gemma said patting the boy on the back.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, pleasure to meet you Gemma-san." Replied Naruto getting panicy thinking she was going to hit him.

"Drop the san, Naruto-kun, not old enough for that. Now lets see to your shopping." With that Gemma put her arm around Naruto and they headed into the store.

The storekeeper looked up and his eyes widened as one the members of the newest clan members walked in with the demon brat. "I don't know if anyone has told you ma'am that the company you keep isn't the best."

He had said the wrong thing, Gemma's eyes flashed black as anger gripped her being, she thrust her hand forward and the man was hurled into the wall. Gemma made a choking gesture and the was stuck and slowly began to turn to blue.

"I don't care about the company. I care about the unfair treatment you've been giving this child. I've heard the rumours so here is what will happen. Firstly, secondly and thirdly you will treat Uzumaki Naruto as you would any other shinobi...Before you even ask why should I? I'll rip your swpinal chord out through your dick and intestines out your arse."

With that she let the man fall to the floor. "Naruto, go grab your groceries." Naruto nodded and returned with box upon box of packaged ramen.

Gemma sweatdropped at the sheer amount of ramen "Only thing allowed to get? I'll change that...I help with your groceries and you learn to eat differently. Not saying stop eating ramen, but cut back on it."

Naruto nodded as the elder teen helped him select fresh meat, vegetables, fruit and most of all FRESH MILK! Naruto loved freshmilk, when he was younger he used to get a prime basket of the fresh food under orders of the Hokage and then the moment he turned 10 he got the left overs, the maggoty and out of date.

Gemma slammed some bills on the counter barely covering her purchases and walked out. Naruto trailing after her. "You didn't..." Protested the gasping shop keeper.

His words fell on deaf ears as Gemma was shown by Naruto back to his apartment. Naruto watched as the woman's eyes narrowed and heard the distinct sound of a sword being loosened. "Who put you up in this apartment?"

"Jiji or the Hokage as you know him did. The orphanage kicked me out when I was four, lived on the streets till five and been here eversince. It's not much but its home. Yeah the hot water, electricity and all that don't work all that much but I don't mind." Said Naruto cheerfully.

Gemma was furious, her smooth raven black hair began to crackle with chakra and magic as it rose in the air. "Pack your things Naruto-kun. You're moving in with me, my sister and brother...Anyone tells you otherwise let me know and we'll deal with it."

"You mean that?" Asked Naruto, the last time he remembered someone being this open to him was before they tried to kill him with a kunai.

Gemma nodded her head "Hand on heart...If I don't go apeshit and kill those who harmed you guarantee Hermione or Neville WILL."

Naruto grabbed everything he could ever need which wasn't much. It consisted of three dozen kunai and shuriken, three tracksuits, two pairs of sandals and his funeral attire.

"We'll be going shopping so we can get you some proper shinobi attire, blues and blacks mainly. Oh and we're gonna get you a decent hair cut. Once you become part of my family, you're going to treated like a proper family member." Gemma stated.

"Who would I stay with?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Since its only three of us to make the clan, we all live in the mainhouse. So that's where you'll stay as well." Came the calm reply from the smiling Gemma.

Naruto already realised that his life had now finally taken a change for the better. No more living off Ichiraku ramen 24/7, but that was fine. No more living off Iruka-sensei's wallet that was also good. No more crashing on said sensei's couch when the civilians had trashed his.

The duo made their way to the compound and Naruto's jaw dropped slightly. The compound was huge, the main house itself was way bigger than his own apartment. "Gemma, you do know who you're with don't you?" Asked the male.

Naruto, saw the male and gulped where Gemma had poise, grace and buckets of power. This giant gave an aura of 'I don't need chakra to beat you.'

"Neville, this is Uzumaki Naruto. Yes, I know who he is. A neglected child much like me who needs people to confide in. He lives in a RUNDOWN APARTMENT, civilians DENY him service. They ABUSE him whether its physically, emotionally or psychologically I haven't yet found out...So forgive me almighty clan head if I jump the gun and save a little boy from a past thats similar to mine." Snarled Gemma.

Naruto recoiled at the ferocious tone of Gemma's voice as it forced Neville the giant to back down. "I understand Gemma. I really do. I'm not wanting the paperwork." He protested with a weak grin before turning to Naruto.

"Welcome to the Mahou compound, Naruto. I'm Mahou Longbottom Neville the 'Clan head' by proxy. The only reason I'm the head of this clan is because I'm least likely to kill anyone who badmouths me. Now come in, Hermione'll show your room where you can shower and clean up whilst we deal with the paperwork so we don't get in trouble with the authorities."

Naruto couldn't help but grin at that but followed the giant clan head into the compound. Hermione, he discovered looked quite similar to Gemma. The pair could have passed as sisters save for the fact Gemma was paler, had black hair and her eyes were bright emerald. Hermione was shorter but slightly broader and her eyes and hair were brown. "Hey Naruto-kun, rather hard not to overhear my surrogate sister. Anyway your room is up the stairs, turn left and three doors down."

Naruto found himself standing in the doorway of a room that was larger than his entire apartment put together. He quickly jumped in the shower and groaned as he felt the consistant flow of hot water cascade onto him.

"Hey Naruto-kun, Neville and Gemma are needed in the Hokage's office. Once you've finished in the shower and got dressed, I'll rustle up some dinner for you." Called Hermione from the door.

"Thanks Hermione-san." He called out, he remembered the few lessons the Hokage had given him on being polite.

"That kid, he needs help. Hopefully Neville can restrain Gemma from killing anyone. I swear coming from a warzone to a world where wars occur every twenty years isn't going to help. Plus with her being the Mistress of Death isn't goint to help. But it should be interesting." Hermione thought as she put the soup on and the bread in the oven.

Meanwhile over in the Hokage's office Gemma was fuming to the point of her chakra and magic were becoming visible. "Lord Hokage, as we speak about the possible adoption of Uzumaki Naruto, your defiance of the boy having a semi-decent life is making my blood boil."

Lightning, smoke and a faint breeze began to swirl around her as did a faint killing intent. Sarutobi stiffened "Gemma-san, I'm sorry. I can't do anything. I could if I would but the civilian council have me wrapped around their finger." The killing intent stopped.

"You mean THOSE SCUMBAGS can do it because THEY CAN to Naruto!" She snarled her features turning wolfish.

Sarutobi nodded, the only way he knew to get out of this was to just come clean. "When the fourth hokage passed away, the civilian council and my advisors seized a lot of my powers and are now next to impossible to dislodge."

"Revoke them...I'm pretty sure the Shodaime or the Nidaime brought the council in to ADVISE." Snarled Neville his anger slowly showing.

Sarutobi stared at the two, with a new fire. "Hai, but for now you can't adopt him. Bring it up in the next council session." Ordered Sarutobi.

"Oh and by the way, you three begin your training shortly." Sarutobi ordered dismissing them. Deep inside the 'Will of fire' blazed to life after many years dormant.

"Did we do the right thing Gemma?" Asked Neville as they walked into the late afternoon sunshine.

"Yeah...I believe so...Now I'm going to check out the social life adios." Chirped the black haired girl.

Gemma and Neville parted ways, she headed into town and she quickly found a place labelled 'Rusted Kunai'.

"Sorry, love but this place is for shinobi only." A gruff voice said, Gemma smirked at the chunin.

"I just want a drink, seems much more interesting than civilian bars. Don't tell me what to do punk." She finished dodging around the chunin and headed inside.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, and noticed it was the chunin. "Remove your hand or lose it."

She then felt the chunins arms wrap around her "Maybe if you can..." He whispered in her ear.

She didn't hear the rest of the statement as she stomped down on the mans foot, moved forward, placed her pressure onto her left foot and lashed out with her right driving it into the chunins face. Gemma grinned as she felt bone and cartilege crack and fracture under the impact.

The chunin staggered backwards and out the bar. The patrons stopped. put their drinks down. "Thank kami he's gone. But he is right that this bar is only for shinobi. Names Hatake Kaskashi."

"Names Mahou Potter Black Gemma, well met Hatake-san. I'm a member of the Mahou clan, been established for about five hours. Intending to become shinobi." Gemma replied. Calmly making her way to the bar.

Kakashi nodded "Please call me Kakashi." Gemma nodded and asked him to apply the same curtesy to her. Now she was sitting with him, Sarutobi Asuma, Mitarashi Anko and Inuzuka Hana.

"Mind if I join you lot?" Gemma asked coming over with three bottle of Sake.

Everyone moved over so Gemma could sit down, her hand brushed against Anko's leg by accident causing the purple haired woman to jump slightly. "Sorry, Anko-san." Gemma said.

Anko blushed slightly, not enough for it to be obvious but enough for Inuzka Hana to notice it. "None taken." Though Hana could tell Anko liked the black haired newcomer and truth be told she did to.

The drinks began to flow and Gemma found herself enraptured by the adventures and the job of being a shinobi. "Are you starting put as a shinobi?" Asked Kakashi curiously, since Gemma had joined them no-one had heard her say a thing.

"Hopefully, sometime this week or next. It all depends on when we can tutors and Sarutobi can give the go ahead." Gemma replied somewhat diplomatically a faint hint of scathing in her tone.

"What's with anger against Hokage-sama?" Asked Kakashi forcefully.

"I was abused, physically, mentally and emotionally when I was growing up...Saw a shop keeper throw a blonde haired child..."

"Uzumaki Naruto?" Questioned Anko, Gemma nodded and scowls graced Anko's face and Kakashi's eye hardened.

"...Out the store and threatened him with the ANBU." Said Gemma.

"What did you do?" Asked Hana interested in what her secret infatuation was about to do. "Why does she have to be so damn hot." Anko and Hana were thinking the same thoughts.

"I walked in with the child, using a non verbal and sealless jutsu, slammed him into the wall...Got my groceries as did Naruto, I payed for mine and walked out."

"You do realise you committed theft."

"You do realise that I couldn't give a rats ass. I'll protect Uzumaki Naruto anyway I choose. I'll get revenge in anyway I choose. My revenge is anywhere he was rejected I'll let him take what he wants."

The shinobi nodded at that "Harsh but true. What will you say to the council thats the civilian?" Asked Uzuki Yugao who turned up during the end speech of Gemma's reactions.

"Gemma-san, I'm Yugao, I was one of the welcoming committee. Impressive stuff been here barely a day and what have you done? Injured three shinobi and storekeeper." Yugao joked helping herself to sake.

"Yup, be greatful I haven't killed anyone yet. Though that guy who tried to grope me is the closest." Replied Gemma wolfishly her green eyes turning yellow.

Yugao started choking on her sake when she quickly heard about the altercation. "Keep this up, we may need to start a bill for shinobi."
