A Vampire's Lover – Revamped Version
Hating Exams is Easy
It had been over a week since the arrival of both Negi Springfield and Naruto Uzumaki had arrived to Mahora, only nobody actually knew about Naruto's appearance and anyone that had seen him only knew him as Sasuke Uchiha, the once best friend of Naruto Uzumaki. However, the chances of anyone knowing that about the blond was minimum at best, even his entry in the bounty list didn't give that information, which was saying something. Yet there was something that was bugging the blond more than he would have liked to have admitted.
"Some of the shit that Negi has gotten himself into is just plain stupid." Naruto bluntly told Evangeline as she and Chachamaru reported what had happened to Naruto, while he combed Chachazero's hair, causing the doll-like puppet to pout cutely.
"I know. You've been complaining about that, for the last several days, something I swear will not stop now that you've heard about the dodge ball match." Evangeline glared at her lover.
"The hell will I stop complaining! I hate the laziness of humanity, but to do some sports where the class that Negi will teach is on the line? That's fucking retarded! There's no way that the girls have that authority to do that, there would have to be loads of paperwork to go through, there's also the matter of the subjects that will be covered, as well as the level of the subject that will be taught." Naruto complained, causing Evangeline to give him a strange look.
"You know a lot of about this sort of issue." Evangeline pointed out.
"I WAS the leader of my home, Konoha, for over 50 years, I should know about all of this crap. If I didn't know all of this after spending half a century as the Hokage, I would be pretty concerned." Naruto huffed in annoyance. "Still, I'm happy that you showed me your resort, to be able to actually keep myself in shape in some way at all without having to worry about being caught is just great at this point."
"That and it also helped with your little problem as well." Evangeline pointed out helpfully, reminding Naruto of the transformation issue that he had gained because of Asuna last week in the library. Naruto's expression told Evangeline just how much that incident infuriated him.
"What is going on this week anyway? From what I've been hearing when I went past the other classes last week, they seemed to be worried about something." Naruto asked Evangeline, while explaining his reason for the question. She stared.
"It's just some shitty exams. I don't care about them really. They've never affect me in any way before." Evangeline bragged. Naruto simply turned to Chachamaru.
"Can you tell me Chachamaru?" Naruto asked the gynoid, much to the vampire's surprise and infuriation.
"The exams mark how good the class is as a whole in their year group. We always finish last place." Chachamaru answered, ignoring her master's reaction. Though Naruto, after hearing this, started to look more upset by what he was hearing.
"Is there a main reason... you are last in your year?" Naruto asked, his tone dangerous. Evangeline actually took a step back because of it. Chachamaru seemed either oblivious or was just ignoring his reaction.
"The 5 Baka Rangers, Asuna Kagurazaka – Baka Red, Yue Ayase – Baka Black, Ku Fei – Baka Yellow, Makie Sasaki – Baka Pink and Kaede Nagese – Baka Blue." Chachamaru told Naruto, who looked more than a bit annoyed at this point. Suddenly, he stood up, grinning.
"Come here Chachazero, and bring your cleaver with you. We're going to scare some little girls tonight!" Naruto's grin turned downright evil.
"Yay! Let's go daddy!" Chachazero was there in a flash.
"You can't just go and do that, Naruto!" Evangeline screamed, trying to stop Naruto from leaving the cottage, but ended up being dragged along with the determined now blond. "Chachamaru! Do something!"
It had taken them a lot of effort, but Evangeline and Chachamaru had succeeded in stopping Naruto from attempting to do harm to the Baka Rangers, physically and mentally. It didn't help that Naruto was attempting to leave without putting on a henge either, so if he had been spotted, his cover would have been well and truly blown.
Sometimes, he really could be an idiot.
Still, it was the very first time since he had been kicked in the face by Asuna, that he could leave Evangeline's cottage.
"I was wondering where you were Naruto!" Negi looked at the fox in his arms happily causing Asuna's expression to twitch dangerously, while Konoka cooed at the fox happily. The young teacher and his roommates/students had been on their way to class before Negi had spotted the fox. Konoka was more than happy to see the fox again, though Asuna wasn't that happy.
"We're not taking him with us to class are we?" Asuna asked Negi and Konoka, who both nodded in response. "Why? He doesn't like me! He normally ends up either biting or growling at me!"
"Maybe he doesn't like that your attitude towards me?" Negi offered, causing Asuna to stare at the young teacher in surprise. It really didn't help that Konoka stared at her thoughtfully either.
"Maybe Naruto's Negi secret protector?" Konoka came up with an idea. Asuna stared blankly at the mere idea. Negi's eyes shined happily however.
"Hell no," Asuna was more than blunt about this idea. She really didn't want to have to worry about Negi getting some childish ideas and somehow started sticking to them. It was annoying enough as it was to have to deal with his magic as it was, especially his wind magic that almost always ended up stripping her.
She was hoping that wasn't going to happen today.
Still, even if she didn't want to go in today, they were running late as it was.
"Come on you two! We're already late as it is!" Asuna reminded her roommates just why they had been in a rush to begin with. They looked almost startled at the reminder.
"That's right!" Negi suddenly ran off, with Konoka starting to chase him on her rollerblades with Naruto in her arms. Asuna was already ahead of them.
'I'm surprised that they're not worried about the exams... though Negi probably doesn't know about them, at this point, it wouldn't be too surprising.' Naruto thought as he was carried by Konoka to their destination. He took note of the amount of girls in Negi's class that was enthusiastically greeting the young teacher with a tint of surprise. Didn't most of them either doubt Negi's ability as a teacher before he was kicked in the face by Asuna? Maybe that little dodge ball match that Evangeline had told him about do more than make the class look stupid for falling into that trap to begin with.
'Still, it's nice to see Negi doing well, even if I hadn't like what his father had done to Evangeline.' Naruto mused. 'It would be hypocritical of me to hate Negi for the sins of his father, especially after all of the hate that I got from the villagers back home for being the container of Kurama, before I defeated Pein and later on Tobi.'
'I do hope that something is done about the Baka Rangers though.'
It wasn't too long before Naruto had become bored in the classroom during Negi's lectures, even if some of the interaction between some of the classmates had amused him slightly. Now, he was walking around in his Sasuke form, though he hadn't talked to Nodoka yet, he felt slightly awkward when he thought about her and her crush on him.
"Man, this is so ironic. I swear that this has to be a coincidence somewhere along the timeline." Sasuke sighed heavily, thinking about how Hinata had a crush on him back when he was in Konoha. She was almost as shy as Nodoka, even more so now that he thought about it. Admittedly, he never actually went out with Hinata at one point, but still, it felt uncomfortable with how coincidental the Hinata and Nodoka actually were.
"Telling Hinata that I wasn't interested in her in the way that she was hoping for was not fun." Sasuke mused, remembering her tearful expression when he told her to move on to someone else and that he wasn't good enough for her. He never did get together with anyone in the village in the end, now that he thought about it. Probably a good thing too, he always did find himself something new to try and improve in the village, as well as a world alliance treaty that had officially been signed after the 4th Ninja War.
There was always some more work to be done after all.
Sasuke suddenly spotted Negi working down the corridor with Yuna Akashi and Sakurako Shiina, the young teacher was peering into one of the classrooms, where there were a room filled with students doing some revision for their test. Negi was obviously unaware of the fact that the test was so painfully near. Sasuke had to stop himself from staring at Negi with a dumbfounded expression, someone needed to tell the kid about the exams, and soon.
Sasuke's prays were answered.
"It's almost time for the end of term exams for us middle schoolers." Yuna told Negi, who had mentioned about the students studying hard for their exams.
"It's next Monday Negi-kun!" Sakurako added helpfully.
"Heh... end of terms exams, eh?" Negi repeated, not taking in the implications of what was that he had just heard. Suddenly, the words clicked. "...Wait a sec! 2-A has to do the exams as well!? Is it really okay just to slack off like this?" Negi sounded shocked when he realized this information.
"Our school is an escalator school, so it doesn't really matter..." Yuna dismissed his concerns.
"Especially 2-A... we're always the worst class in the year, but somehow it all turns out okay..." Sakurako once again added helpfully. Negi however, was near to tears.
"That doesn't sound very good for a teacher to be allowing, if anything, that's a good reason to target something better." Sasuke finally decided to make his presence known, drawing all of the attention to him. "Besides, what will it say if you are the teacher who teaches the worst class in the year? Wouldn't that drag your reputation through the mud and make it sound as if you're the worst teacher in the entire school?" Sasuke knew that this was a low blow, especially in front of some of the boy's students, but he needed to get them motivated somehow.
"Hey! That is out of order!" The girls shouted at Sasuke, who merely raised an eyebrow at their reactions. He knew that they would reaction in such a way, that it would merely be a matter of time before the word spread around to the rest of the class, and then his job would be finished.
"Really, then tell me why a class that has 3 students in the top 4 ranked students ranks perform so miserably? It's because of the laziness of the other students, who don't pull their own weight, especially those idiotic Baka Rangers!" Sasuke criticised the students with a sneer, this sentence would no doubt cause Negi to react in a way that he would want nothing to do than prove him wrong. The moment he mentioned the Baka Rangers, he knew that Negi's friendship with Asuna would cause the boy to take offence.
He was right.
"You shall not insult my students any longer! I will make sure that they are no longer the worst class in the year!" Negi snapped at Sasuke, who merely smirked.
"Then prove me wrong, and I will have no reason to doubt you any longer." Sasuke turned, ignoring Shizune, who was about the give Negi a letter. Even if the boy, who was about find out that he, would need to make sure that Class 2-A was no longer the worse class in the year anyway, though he had more than one reasons to succeed. Not only that, but the girls in Negi's class would also have a reason other than their careers to succeed.
To show that class 2-A could avoid being the worst class in the year.
Naruto, back in his fox form, was lazing about on Negi's desk, watching what his words had done to the class of 2-A. It was almost as if a miracle had happened, not even he could have predicted such a successful reaction to his words. Practically everyone was watching their arses off, a few noticeable people, like Evangeline, didn't seem to care too much, but at this point, she really didn't care much anymore.
Though like many good things, it unfortunately came to an end.
"Let's do an English Phrase Study Yakyuken!" Sakurako offered, causing Naruto to choke on his own spit. Did she really just suggest that they play strip poker as a method of study? There was no way that Negi was going to allow such a thing to happen, he was responsible and–
"Well then, let's begin!" Negi's words killed off any hope that Naruto had been attempting to build up. He must have gotten Yakyuken and Yakyu mixed up, strip poker and baseball was a strange thing to get mixed up on.
'The girls are just taking advantage of Negi's innocence.' Naruto sighed.
"O chart, become easier to understand!" Negi completed a spell suddenly, allowing the boy to have a chance to look at the class academic progress records in a chart rather than a longwinded report. Naruto was given a unique chance to see a report simplified thanks to magic, and for once, felt himself wishing that he had such a skill to do that. It was clear to both Naruto and Negi, just why the Baka Rangers were given their names and just why the class had been doing so badly in the past. The look of worry was clear on Negi's face.
Suddenly a bra landed on Negi's head.
Both human and fox looked at each other, before slowly, but surely turned to where the class were actually playing strip poker. It had become clear that it was either Asuna's or Makie's bra that had been thrown at them, because they were currently topless.
"I knew that this was going to happen!" Asuna made her displeasure at what was happening to her known quite clearly.
"What the heck are you all doing!?" Negi demanded with panic. Naruto simply stared.
"If you can't answer, you have to strip! It's Yakyuken!" Sakurako told Negi, who was starting to get more horrified as the lesson went on.
Naruto felt just as disturbed for the next generation to come.
Later on that day after school had ended, Naruto was relaxing in the private bath in Evangeline's cottage, where only the couple could use the bath. It had only been five minutes that he had been in the bath for Evangeline to suddenly join him, to create yet another moment together. The vampire got herself comfortable, leaning against her lover's chest, before she suddenly spoke.
"I hear that you got into a disagreement." Evangeline noted as she washed her arms, causing Naruto to grunt. "Something about someone who looks like Sasuke insulting the intelligence of class 2-A as a whole, as well as telling Negi that if he didn't get their class to not be last place in the end of the term, you mentioned something about making everyone see the truth about Negi's teaching skills after the exams are finished."
"Of course I would do that, but whenever I do something like that, people normally try that much harder to prove me or anyone else that put them down, wrong." Naruto told Evangeline as he held her against his chest, enjoying the silence that they had. Just these moments together were moments that Naruto could quite honestly say he enjoyed. Evangeline would probably say that same, if the way that she was comfortably leaning against his chest was anything to go by.
These moments made everything worthwhile sometimes.
"Chachazero, if you're going to join us, then put away the cleaver that you're aiming at my neck. It's not good for you to be jealous." Naruto called out suddenly, causing Evangeline to stare at the wall bluntly, wondering just why her first and most loyal puppet had to interrupt this special moment that she was sharing with her lover.
"Okay daddy!" Chachazero replied happily, her cleaver being thrown into the wall as she jumped into the bath, landing on Evangeline's head, much to the vampire's annoyance. This annoyance faded away however, when Naruto kissed both Chachazero and herself on their foreheads, smiling as the vampire gave off an embarrassed blush.
"Love you both." Naruto continued to smile after his words, Evangeline however, smiled softly. She really did wonder what she did to deserve someone like Naruto sometimes, but either way, she wasn't going to complain and take this for granted.
Though, she did wish that she had the confidence to tell Naruto that she was falling in love with him.
In the giant baths available for the students of Mahora, the infamous Baka Rangers had assembled, even if it was accidentally. Though Konoka had brought up a rumour, which spelled trouble for the group assembled.
"The class that scores the lowest in the next exam will be broken up!?" A shocked Asuna repeated what her roommate had just told her. This was more serious that she had first realized!
"I think Sakurako and the others were told not to talk about it... I don't really know all of the details..." Konoka confessed. "But Grandf- I mean, the Principal seemed really mad! It's because our class always comes last!"
"...And even worse! The 'Really' dumb people get held back! Or maybe they have to do all the grades from kindergarten all over again!" Haruna told the Baka Rangers knew that even they were horrified about.
Suddenly the image of the Baka Rangers in kindergarten uniform popped up, along with the image of Sasuke looking at them with a sadistic look on his face.
"I told you something would happen if you did crap in your exams, you idiotic Baka Rangers!" Sasuke smiled evilly, with fangs and all showing. "I knew I was right all along!" He pointed at the group of five with a look of glee. "You fail in life!"
"That can't be true!" Makie and Asuna tried to deny, though the latter of the two remembered what Negi had been saying in the lesson earlier in the day when they had been starting to do some revision.
"The class we have now is fun! Asuna! I don't want it to be broken up!" Konoka made her opinion on the matter known.
"T... this is bad! We're the ones who are dragging the class down!" Makie pointed out, referring to the Baka Rangers.
"Even if we study ourselves to death, we won't make it by Monday-Aru!" Ku Fei sounded defeated, realistic on the situation on hand. Asuna however, seemed to realize that because she was the one that was dragging the class down more than anyone and was actually starting to wonder whether she should have taken Negi up on an offer to become more intelligent.
"If it comes to this... then maybe we'll have to go look for 'That Thing' after all." Yue suddenly spoke up, referring to an object that caused Haruna to turn towards her sharply.
"Yue, you don't mean..." Haruna sounded surprised by the mere suggestion, let alone actually getting this object.
"What? What is it? Do you have a solution?" Asuna asked Yue, the feeling of hope rushing through her body again, maybe there was a possibility that something could done after all.
"You guys know about Library Island right? It's where our library expedition club goes..." Yue asked the remaining members of the Baka Rangers.
"Yeah, the giant building that floats in the middle of the lake, right, I've heard it's a pretty dangerous place!"
"The truth is, deep within Library Island... there is apparently a 'magic book' that makes the reader more intelligent..." Yue explained the story, while drinking from one of her cartons. If the expressions from her fellow Baka Rangers were anything to go by, she had got them captivated. "Well, I've always just thought it was some really good textbook or something... but still, it'd be a pretty useful thing to have."
"Oh Yue, That's just an urban legend!" Haruna laughed sheepishly.
"There's a lot of weird people in our class, but there can't really be such thing as magic, can there?" Makie didn't believe in the story.
"Ah! Asuna doesn't believe any of this rubbish, does she?" Konoka joked. She clearly didn't believe a word of what Yue said about the book.
"No... Hold on just a sec here..." Asuna told them as she thought of Negi and how he was a mage. The fact that he WAS a mage proved that magic was real... especially when you took into account that Negi had managed to sneeze the clothes off of her body before, stripping her naked. Not that she wanted to remember that or anything.
"Let's go, to Library Island!" Asuna declared determinedly, drawing looks of surprise from her classmates.
They never noticed a small raven disappearing in a cloud of feathers.
Naruto was getting out of the bath when he felt his henged raven shadow clone dispersed itself, given him the entire conversation that had taken place in the baths of Mahora, he paused mid-step as he processed what he had managed to learn. The girls, were instead of trying to revise like they should do, were going to try and go to Library Island and find this 'magic book', for it made whoever read it, smarter. But that didn't make sense, all books did that, Naruto knew that and he was sure that everyone knew it. However, since it was a 'magic book', this increase in knowledge would no doubt be special.
"I can't believe that they're even going to do this." Naruto sighed, wondering just why they were willing to risk their very lives for a book to make them smarter, so what if the class got disbanded because they did poorly, so what if Negi got fired, it didn't matter to him anymore, he was here already and if anything, he could apply for the role of the teacher of 2-A. Gods knows that he has the experience and furthermore he could be teaching his lover... then again, he didn't want to deal with a lot of brats so often as a teacher.
"What are they doing now?" Evangeline asked Naruto, who turned towards the vampire with an annoyed expression.
"The Baka Rangers are going to go to Library Island to get this 'magic book' just so that they can stay together as a class, because being disbanded is a better cause than doing well in life... not that I can say too much when I think back to my time back in the Konoha Academy, being the dead last and everything." Naruto explained what was going on with the Baka Rangers, and their goal to avoid being disbanded. However, something else caught Evangeline's attention.
"You were the dumbass of your year?" Evangeline asked in disbelief, she really couldn't imagine that the legendary 6th Hokage was once upon time a goofy moron, especially when you add the fact that he was the son of the 4th Hokage and a Jinchuriki of Kurama/Kyuubi. Not too many people knew too much about his past, just that he was a major reason in ending a major ninja war, became the 6th Hokage and had the longest ever reign in existence and who his parents were. However, not much of his childhood was ever known by a lot of people, hell, the only people that did know were long dead.
"Yes, I was. Now, I expect you to keep quiet about it as well. The fact I'm even talking about my childhood with you is showing how much I trust you." Naruto told the vampire. "But back onto the actual subject, your classmates are going to attempt to risk their lives by trying to get this book, and if I'm guessing correctly, then Asuna will be taking Negi along for the ride."
"You're worried about them, aren't you?" Evangeline sounded slightly surprised by the fact. "Why? I thought that you hated the brats for not trying hard enough."
"I may not respect them enough because of their lack of effort, but that doesn't mean that I wish actual permanent injuries on them, and I definitely don't want them to be killed either." Naruto told the vampire, who was looking thoughtful.
"You think that the boy's going to do something stupid, don't you?" Evangeline suggested to her lover, who nodded.
"He's probably done something stupid like cancelled/sealed his magic for some odd reason, like trying to please Asuna or something retarded." Naruto offered what could be something that Negi could be doing or could have done already. Evangeline stared at Naruto for a moment.
"It's possible to actually do that." Evangeline admitted as she stood from the bath, with Chachazero making her way to Naruto. "But still, even I don't think he's that daft."
"He's 10, kids do stupid things, just because he's already graduated from his academy in Wales, doesn't mean that he's got much common sense." Naruto pointed out, thinking back to the days when he was a kid. Those really were the good old days when it came to no responsibilities, but at the same time, he wouldn't want to live through those days ever again. Too many glares from the villagers, besides, he could just write a book about his life anyway, post it on the internet and then just make several tweaks every now and again to get different ideas and different outcomes and situations to pop up.
Wait, he was rambling again. Curse old age.
"I'm going to head over to Library Island soon anyway, I've been curious about the layout of the place beforehand, and I have been promised a tour around the place by Nodoka." Naruto confessed, before he kissed the vampire's forehead again. "You've got 3 days for the exams to start, so you should be fine either way. If the Baka Rangers and the others get into some kind of trap, I will make sure that they can get out just fine. That way, you can get to try out Negi for some sparring sessions after all."
"I don't need to use the boy." Evangeline protested what Naruto was saying, only to be grabbed by her cheeks by a cheeky looking Naruto.
"Don't worry about it, everything will be fine. I promise." Naruto told his lover, before he pecked her on the lips. "I'll be back later." He left Evangeline and Chachazero in the bathroom, with the vampire being stunned.
"I swear I'm going to do something stupid for the man." Evangeline shook her head.
Sometime later, at Library Island, the sound of people going through some water could be heard.
"This water is freezing!" Makie complained.
"There's a secret entrance back here only the library expedition class knows about..." Yue explained to the group, just as they were coming to the entrance. The group that was going to explore the library looked ready to go... except for Negi, who was yawning.
"So this is Library Island..."
"Is this really okay? The lower levels are off limits to middle school... I hear there's all sorts of traps and stuff down there..."
"...Isn't that a bit too much for a 'library'?"
"No problem! I'll take care of it! Asuna reassured Konoka, who didn't know what to make of it all. "Hey Negi, that's your cue!" Asuna whispered to the boy. "Protect us with your magic powers, okay?"
"Oh, my magic? Um, I've kinda... uh... sealed it..." Negi confessed suddenly, leaving Asuna staring at him in shock. Naruto, who had been watching from above in his Sasuke form, felt the urge to swear violently after reading Negi's lips.
"Why the hell did I see this coming?" Naruto asked himself in annoyance. He created a Henge Shadow Clone, which had taken the form of a raven. "Make sure to follow the kids, take any form that you need to in order to stay hidden. I don't care how you do it. Just make sure you stay out of the sight of everyone." Naruto ordered his clone, which flew inside the library, following the Baka Rangers, Negi and Konoka. Naruto created another raven henged shadow clone. "Go to the cottage and inform both Evangeline and Chachamaru what has happened and until you get their opinions on the matter, don't leave them." The clone disappeared in a flash of yellow.
"This is so not worth the problems that Negi has the potential to cause."
Evangeline couldn't help but feel annoyed when she had heard what Negi had gone and done, and the reason that he seemed to have done so as well. Sealing off your magic for three days was not the smartest move in the world that much was obvious. However, Negi didn't seem to realize just how much he used his magic in the first place, or if he did, he was just putting it off for now.
"We both knew that the boy was going to be a world of trouble, but I really didn't expect Naruto to be spot on with what the boy would go ahead and do, Chachamaru." Evangeline told her servant, who was bringing over some tea for her master.
"Perhaps Naruto knows because he was once a young boy as well, even if it was several centuries ago." Chachamaru offered, to which the short vampire nodded in agreement.
"There is that, and he did also used to be a prankster." Evangeline remembered what her lover had been telling her about his past. With what Naruto had told her, she was more than surprised with the fact that he never went dark and evil to fuel his lust for revenge. In fact, he dreamt of being their leader and succeeded, because of his drive, his determination and his will to succeed. The will of fire his grandfather figure had told him before his untimely death. Still, Evangeline was glad that she could have met someone like Naruto, his presence was practically the only reason she had gone insane lately.
"Evangeline, boss wants me to tell you that the group has officially watched Basement Level 3 in Library Island." The clone that had been sent to Evangeline, now in the form of a fox, spoke up. He received a nod for his words.
"There is still a long way to go though." Evangeline sighed. This really was frustrating.
They were actually taking a rest break? Eh, fair enough to them, but he was getting slightly surprised by how well things seemed to be doing at the moment. Naruto rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance. There was no doubt going to be a bit of chaos through into this death trap of a library (one of the very few that he could call a death trap and the statement actually being true).
Still, Naruto was given the insight of what was in Library Island thanks to his constant use of his shadow clones for scouting on within the crowd. Bookcases that make most of the buildings in Konoha look small, a giant lake in library was not expected, he did expect that the underground crawling part. It simply wouldn't be an adventure without this.
However, Naruto knew that if there was all of these traps and everything else that they had come across, there was something that was missing.
"There's bound to be a monster somewhere, rather or not it's at the end of the journey where that book is, well, if the book is still there anyway." Naruto mused, before he dissolved into a flock of ravens. Somehow, he just knew that he would be forced to pull his own weight sooner than later, even if he didn't want to do so.
So Naruto decided to do something that he probably didn't want to do in his Sasuke form.
"Hey, what are you two doing out here?" Sasuke approached Nodoka and Haruna from behind them, causing both girls to turn to him in sheer surprise. Nodoka almost immediately started blushing at the sight of him, Haruna grinned slyly however, looking at Nodoka's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
"A book that important is bound to be booby trapped!" The trio heard Negi shout to his students, only for a crashing sound to be heard.
"What the hell? The statue is moving!" Asuna could be heard screaming now, to which the trio outside of Library Island stared at each other.
"That is a bit weird to hear." Sasuke mused, though was wondering why he could hear the laughter of an old man in what he could hear in the statue's laughter. 'Surely that's not Konoemon Konoe, is it?'
"That's the old geezer who runs the place." Evangeline bluntly told Naruto's clone, who sweat-dropped at the simplicity of it all.
Sasuke, Nodoka and Haruna listened patiently as the Baka Rangers went through the game of twister to answer the questions given by the giant moving statue through the English translations. However, at some point, even Sasuke felt like wincing at the implied positions... until he got a memory of a clone at least anyway. All they needed to do was do the translation of Dish, Osara, it was simple really, wasn't it?
"...Osaru?" Negi's reaction told the trio listening in and guiding the group (Nodoka and Haruna really) that they had messed up, on the 20th and final question.
"Monkey..." Sasuke didn't know what else to say to that. However, the loud sound of a giant hammer smashing the twister game to pieces said just how big the costs were.
"Asuna you monkey!" There was a loud apology followed by a crashing sound in the form of water, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing.
"What's going on down there, guys?" Haruna sounded desperate for any implications of what may have just happened.
"P-please reply!" Nodoka tried to get a response as well, just as Sasuke got the image of what had happened. His clone just happened to have been crushed by the giant hammer as the stage got destroyed, so he felt the pain of the clone run through his body, and it was anything but pleasant.
Silence was all that Haruna and Nodoka were getting from their end of the line, not a single response. If anything, the fall that the group had just taken would have knocked them out cold.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Haruna started to panic.
"We've got to contact someone... but everyone's asleep at this hour..." Nodoka realized that some of their options were practically destroyed straight away.
"Don't worry, just because they aren't replying now, doesn't mean they won't be fine, they may just be knocked out at the moment." Sasuke told both of the girls, who were suddenly reminded of the fact that he was there with them. They looked at him and suddenly, hope returned to their faces.
"Sasuke, can you go find them, to make sure that they are okay?" Nodoka asked the black haired boy, though for some reason, Haruna had another idea in mind, if her sly grin was anything to go by.
"Sasuke, why don't you take over our class for a while?" Haruna asked suddenly, causing Sasuke's eyes to widen in surprise at the offer.
"What the hell? Teach you? What reason would I have for that? I'm not even qualified to do so!" Sasuke sounded desperate to get out of this mess.
"Why would you be teaching us?" Evangeline sounded shocked that the suggestion was even made, to which Naruto's clone shrugged.
"I was just passing on the message."
"I know that, but why would be my teacher?" Evangeline demanded.
"The fuck if I know anything."
Just going through and doing some edits on my chapters, nothing too big, though there is a few clean-ups as far as grammar is concerned (that I could see anyway) so hopefully, it'll look better.
Naruto-Sasuke meets Ghost-Sasuke
Sasuke Uchiha didn't know what to say when he found himself floating around Mahora, years and years of being a ghost had helped him gain information of the world as it changed and advanced over the years. Even if he had a confrontation with a group called the Ghostbusters and two other groups called Shinigami and Hollows, things felt really weird after a while.
'What the -? Is that Naruto... using my appearance?' Sasuke looked annoyed when he saw another Sasuke walking around aimlessly, but even as a ghost, he never lost the ability to feel chakra, and he could never forget what Naurto's chakra felt like. So Sasuke decided to do what he loved to do best... mess with Naurto.
"Oi!" Sasuke called out to Naruto, who froze on the spot, having somehow heard him. If this was anything to go by, then people with chakra could also see ghosts.
"Sasuke? What are you doing here? Why the fuck are you a ghost?" Well, Naruto hadn't changed much.
"I'm lost and I don't know why I'm a ghost... but you're using my appearance? Sasuke pointed at Naruto, who was in his Sasuke appearance. "I knew that I was your best friend once upon a time and I know that we had our little fight where you killed me and everything, but fucking hell, this is really disturbing to see you using my appearance for some kind of twisted tribute act."
Naruto had nothing to say to that.
Until next time, goodbye and goodnight.
