Chapter 3
Robin woke up at dawn with a thought happily stuck on his mind, 'Today is Naruto's first day as a titan.' And why is Robin so happy that Naruto is now part of the titan team, you may ask? It's not because he has lots of gay sexual fantasies about the whiskered teen, it's because he is a sadistic bastard that likes to plan very hard, very humiliating initiations. (Now you must know that in the real world when I call someone a bastard I'm really saying "I love ya man, you're my best friend" got it you bastard readers?) He had just thought of something terrible that had to do with a zip lock bag twelve gallons of glue, a hairdryer, and a leech when the alarms started blaring across the tower. Completely forgetting about the initiation, Robin rushed to the main room closely followed by the other titans.
"Screen on" Robin commanded the giant TV, making it activate. They looked at the screen with ever increasing horror, for the city security cameras showed hordes of huge moths attacking the bridge, chewing through the support cables, making it become more and more unstable by the minute.
"We can't waste anymore time, Titans go!" Robin ordered heading towards the door.
"Not so fast" a voice said over the speakers of the TV, making the titans turn around. There on the screen was a face that could only be described as Mothman's second cousin twice removed.
"Who are you?" Cyborg asked the…thing.
"I am Killer Moth, soon to be ruler of this city" he said "and if you do not give into my demands then I'll have to release the entire swarm to destroy the city" The camera panned back showing millions of giant moths inside of their glass enclosure.
"What do you want?" BeastBoy asked
"My demands are simple" Killer Moth started "Control of the city will be turned over to me, the Teen Titans will surrender and Robin…" he paused, everyone holding their breath "You will take this lovely girl to the junior prom" he finished, his entire tone of voice changing making everybody present sweat drop.
Then a box appeared next to Killer Moth's with a blonde girl who looked about fourteen years old "her name is Kitten" Killer Moth said.
"HIII Robie-poo!!" she squealed in the most annoying voice possible.
"I have to what!?" Robin asked, feeling enraged, confused, and dumbfounded all at once.
"You have to take me…to…the…" Kitten's talking slowed down until it stopped all together, when she noticed the blonde boy splayed out over the couch, somehow managing to sleep through both the alarms and Kitten's talking "Who's that?" she asked, again in her squealing voice that could make just about anyone want to kill themselves. She was pointing wildly at Naruto. What really made him catch her eye was his spiky blonde hair. When she looked more closely at his face she saw he had three whisker marks on each cheek. She was thinking along the lines of 'Blonde is soooo much better, and with those whisker marks he looks kinda like a cat'
Everyone turned to see who she was pointing to; finally taking notice of Naruto's sleeping form. Cyborg looked at Naruto, then back at the expression on Kitten's face, instantly seeing what she was getting at "That's Naruto," he said to her, inwardly hoping that Naruto would forgive him.
Kitten quickly turned to Killer Moth "I've changed my mind. I don't want Robin, I want him." She said pointing to the sleeping blonde
"Whatever you want" Killer Moth appeased "Robin you're off the hook, that boy Naruto will go with Kitten to her junior prom instead. Now wake him up!" he ordered.
Robin walked over to the couch "Hey Naruto, you need to wake up," he said quietly poking him a few times. Naruto didn't even move from the contact. Seeing this, Cyborg had a try.
"Yo, sleeping beauty! WAKE UP!" he yelled. Naruto groaned and sat up looking around the room in slight confusion.
"What's going on?" he said "Who're they?" Naruto asked till in that slight daze everybody gets when they're woken up.
"I am Killer Moth and this beautiful girl here is Kitten," Killer Moth loudly introduced himself and the blonde girl "and you will go to the junior prom with Kitten or I'll destroy the city," he threatened.
"Fine, fine I'll go" Naruto said with a big breathy yawn.
"Don't tell me, ask her" the moth man said.
"Alright fine, keep your wings on buggy. Wanna go to the prom with me?" Naruto asked in a very unconvincing tone, wanting nothing more than to see the inside of his eyelids.
"Oh Naruto! That's so sweet of you to ask!" Kitten squealed with delight. "Tomorrow at seven, meet me there" she said doing that little wave by moving just her fingers.
And with that the screen switched off, with all the titans wondering how Naruto could just go through all that without even caring what was going on. Robin turned to the other titans "Okay we have a mission, we need to figure out where Killer Moth is. I say that we start the search with that Kitten girl. But first we need to get Naruto ready for pr-"
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Robin was interrupted by a loud snore. They all turned around to see Naruto lying back down on the couch.
"Did he fall asleep already?" Raven asked.
Cyborg went over to Naruto to check it out. He kneeled down and poked him a few times in the face. "I don't think he even woke up in the first place" he said.
Hearing this, Raven got irritated, and when Raven gets irritated bad things happen. The sink all of a sudden exploded causing a fountain of water to shoot across the room and directly onto Naruto, making him wake up instantly. He jumped up with a yelp, kunai in hand, yelling "What's happening! Are we under attack?!" Realizing that they were not under attack he calmed down a little. "What's going on?"
BeastBoy chose to answer "well…do you want the long version or the short version?"
"Surprise me" Naruto said
"Okay well a giant moth man thing is trying to take over the city with his army of mutated moths and you have to go to junior prom with probably the most annoying blonde in history!" BeastBoy said all in one breath.
Naruto just looked as confused as before "That didn't make any sense, what's the long version?"
BeastBoy answered yet again "That was the long version dude, the short version is: You're boned! Hahahahaha!" BeastBoy broke into hysterical laughter.
Naruto looked over to Robin for an explanation.
Time skip after explanation
"Well that does clear some things up" Naruto said "But what's a 'prom'?"
"I think it is some sort of duel" Starfire commented
Everyone mentally sighed "Starfire it isn't a duel" Robin said "It's a date"
Naruto froze and stared at Robin blankly "A date?"
"Yes, I'm sure you know what to do on one, right?" Robin said expectantly "You do know what to do, right?"
Naruto looked down at the floor in embarrassment "I've never…well… been on a date before" he finished quickly. Everyone was silent for a few seconds while they stared at the embarrassed teenager.
BeastBoy busted out laughing at him "You-you've never, hahahahaha, been on a date?" he managed to get out through the laughter.
"You're one to talk BB, You've never been on a date either" Cyborg said shutting the green kid up instantly.
"Dude, that's cold," he said, his ears drooping a little.
"Well I guess we have more work to do than I thought" Robin said "First things first, we need to get you a tux"
Naruto was walking down the streets of jump city towards the docks. Cyborg had offered him a lift in the T-car, but he had refused saying that he was going to walk, because his legs still worked perfectly fine. He was now silently berating himself for not taking Cyborg up on his offer. He was getting really tired of all the girls staring at him, one even wolf whistled at him, making him turn beet red.
Time skip one hour
It had been about an hour since Naruto left titan's tower leaving the rest of the team to search for Killer Moth. Reaching into his jacket he pulled out the communicator Robin had given him before he left. He opened it up and selected the map option. It said that he was just two blocks away from the docks. Deciding to speed up a little he ran the rest of the way there.
When he got there, he just stood on the dock, looking lost. He turned to his left and there were a group of girls giggling, taking fleeting glances him. To his right, a group of guys were scowling at him for getting all of the attention.
"This is going to be a fun night" he said to himself sarcastically. Half a second later he heard the high pitched noise of a car breaking behind him. He turned around and saw that it was a long stretch limousine. The door of which opened and out came a blonde girl, wearing a sparkling pink dress.
She looked around the dock for a few seconds until her eyes laid on Naruto "YOOHOO! Naruto, my little tom cat! Get over here" she squealed waving towards Naruto.
Naruto silently cursed the Kyuubi for giving him whisker marks before taking a deep breath and slowly mad his way over to Kitten "Hello…Kitten" he said with a tone of voice that practically screamed 'Can I go home now?'
"Oh Naruto! My date Naruto!" she nearly yelled.
Getting quiet she whispered to Naruto "Okay now take my arm and lead me onto the boat," Naruto sighed at the order and put his arm through hers and walked up the ramp onto the boat, with Kitten staring at Naruto with a smile. "Tom cat," she sighed using a pet name that she made up because of his whiskers "where ever did you get these adorable marks?" she asked
"I was born with them" he answered not even looking at her "and would you stop calling me 'Tom Cat'?" he asked wanting the name to stop.
"Well if you're not a little Kitty, then what are you?" she inquired, stroking his whiskers a few times.
He closed his eyes and thought of the best answer he could come up with at the time. He opened his eyes and looked straight at Kitten, his eyes red slits.
"A fox," he said flatly. His eyes turned back to Normal, turning back to look in front of him as they got on the boat.
For the first time in her life, Kitten had felt fear, true fear. She soon recovered and was back to her normal annoying self.
Time skip forty-five minutes
About forty-five minutes had past and Naruto was sitting at one of the tables looking very uncomfortable in his tuxedo. Kitten was gazing with a dreamy look on her face over at Naruto, her chin resting on her steeple fingers. He was keeping himself busy by counting the minutes until prom was over, when Kitten suddenly got up and walked around the table, next to Naruto. When she was close enough she said "Ask me to dance" she ordered.
Surprised by this sudden order, Naruto looked at her "What?"
"I said 'ask me to dance'" she repeated.
"I…" Naruto started hesitantly "I don't dance"
"Are you saying you've never ever danced before" she asked pulling on his arms "I'm sure you've got hundreds of girls asking you to these sort of things where you're from"
Naruto face suddenly fell, making him look like he did when he was in his depression "Where I come from, I'm hated by all and loved by none," this gave Kitten a shock, she had never heard someone sound so sad before (if only she had heard him a few days ago)
Bouncing back almost instantly, she began pulling on his arms harder "Then your first dance will be with me!"
Naruto looked back up at her his expression back to what it was before "And what if I don't want to?" he asked defiantly.
"Then I can have the whole city destroyed," she threatened whipping out her cell phone "That is unless you want to skip the dancing and go straight to the kissing" she said going into a soft whisper.
Before she knew it Naruto had disappeared from the chair and was already on the dance floor "What are you waiting for" he called over to her. He really didn't want to dance, but he'd do anything to stay away from kissing her. Kitten moved almost as fast as he did and was next to him in an instant. She held up her arms in the position you needed to be in to dance, waiting for Naruto to fill the space. Taking a quick glance around at the other dancing couples, he copied their positions. After three seconds of dancing with her he made a decision, dancing is very, very bad. Naruto made the cross seal behind her back and whispered "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"
He heard a faint pop behind the dance floor away from everybody, signaling the clone's arrival. The clone pulled out the communicator and called Robin "Guys? Guys are you there?"
Robin's face came on the screen "Hey Naruto," Robin said "How'd you get away from Kitten?"
"I didn't I'm still dancing with her" Naruto answered. He pointed the communicator towards the real him and Kitten dancing then back at himself.
"Naruto how'd yo-" Robin started dumbfounded
"Never mind that" Naruto interrupted "Tell me you found Killer Moth, I don't think I can stand another minute with her"
Forgetting the clone thing, Robin got to the situation at hand "we've found Kitten's residence"
"More like the freakin' Brady bunch's" Naruto heard Cyborg in the background.
"Please guys, hurry up" Naruto pleaded before closing the communicator. The clone then dissipated itself, giving the real Naruto, who was still dancing, all the information. Right when he got the info the song ended. Letting go, he started to walk back to the table "Okay that should be enough dancing for the night" before he could even take two steps another song started up, this one slower than the previous one.
"Oh Tom Cat, a slow song!" Kitten said happily. She pulled him back onto the dance floor. She pulled him in close so there was no escape, and began to dance to the slow beat. Kitten was staring deeply into Naruto's eyes, but Naruto wasn't looking at Kitten, he was staring intently at the exit.
Kitten stopped looking into his eyes and instead looked at the surface of them, when she saw the reflection of the exit sign she tried something drastic "Kiss me" she said.
"What?!" Naruto yelped in surprise "I will not, Will not kiss you"
"Okay fine, then I'll just have the entire city destroyed!" she threatened.
POV change
The Titans were searching the house. Robin finished checking the master bedroom for the second time and was about to give up when he heard a yell downstairs. Rushing back to the living room "What happened?" he came in yelling.
"Found something suspicious" Cyborg said pointing to a staircase that led down to a basement area that wasn't there a minute ago.
"Hey I found it!" BeastBoy yelled indignantly at the metal teen.
"It doesn't matter who found it" Raven said flatly to the bickering duo, shutting them both up.
"Alright guys, let's go check it out" Robin said as he walked down the stair case "Hey Cy, Star could you give us some light?"
"Of course Robin" Starfire said before raising her hand as it began to glow with green energy.
As soon as light filled the basement the loud buzzing of hundreds of insectoid wings flapping at once assaulted their ears. All at once they opened their communicators "Found him" they all said in unison.
POV change
Naruto had no idea what to do. On the one hand the city being eaten by giant mutant moths, on the other hand kissing…ugh… Kitten. Then his communicator started beeping before the voices of the Titans said "found him".
Realizing what they meant, Naruto smirked at her "hear that?" he asked sarcastically "They found Killer Moth, this date is over"
Hearing this, Kitten became enraged "This date isn't over until I say it's over!" she shrieked pulling a remote out of the flower on her dress "I wanna tell you something Tom Cat, Daddy isn't calling the shots, I am!"
Naruto was shocked to say the least, not because he was her father, but because some woman had let that moth…thing, touch her. Naruto was starting to feel sick. Kitten then grabbed the front of Naruto's shirt, pulling him in slowly, her lips puckered.
She was about an inch away from him when all of a sudden a pair of feet collided with the side of his head, sending him crashing through the buffet table, food flying everywhere. Naruto slowly sat up, his hand on his aching head. He looked at who kicked him and saw the guy, or better yet, thing that hit him. He was dressed in blue jeans and a leather jacket, but what was strange about him was the fact that where a human head would normally be, was the body of some giant spider instead. It's six legs about ten feet long each, making it so the human part was hanging limply.
"Hey you bastard, that freakin' hurt!!" Naruto yelled at the spider thing.
"You ever touch my girl again it's going to hurt a lot worse!" he yelled back.
"Bring it!" Naruto challenged. Quicker than any normal person could react to, Fang rushed forward, his human legs put out in front of him, but Naruto isn't any normal person. He caught both feet and chucked Fang over his shoulder. Fang flipped in the air a few times before landing lightly on his spider limbs.
"Is that the best you can do?" Fang taunted.
"I was about to ask you the same thing" Naruto retorted
Fang spat three globs of sticky web in quick succession hitting just about everything but his target, Naruto "that's just sick" Naruto commented looking disgustedly at the web.
Fang spun wildly in the air, one of his spider legs causing a rip on the front of Naruto's tuxedo. "Awww man, do you have any idea what this thing cost?!" Naruto yelled at him. Deciding to get serious, Naruto extended his index and middle fingers crossing them perpendicularly, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he cried, five clones appearing in poofs of smoke. This left Fang's pincers hanging open in surprise.
He could barely fight one, let alone five, "Aww shi-" was all he could get out before the six Naruto's attacked him at once.
Time Skip about three hours
The Titans got back to the tower, tired from another day's work, Naruto on the other hand was absolutely ecstatic from helping defeat his first villain. "That was awesome! I've never been a hero before. Do you guys do this kind of thing every week?" he asked.
"Just about" Cyborg said amused by Naruto's behavior.
"God I've got to get out of this thing" Naruto complained, pulling on the collar of his tux "Now where did I put my clothes…Training room!" he ran off in the direction of the training room.
Everyone stared in the direction that Naruto ran in "He is seriously going to get annoying if he's going to act like that all the time" BeastBoy commented.
"Ha! You've got room to talk BB" Cyborg said "Anyways we need to get the plan started"
"Oh yes, he will be most surprised" Starfire said clapping with joy.
POV change
Naruto had gotten out of his stiff, uncomfortable tuxedo and was now wearing his orange jump suit pants. He was standing in the middle of the training room looking at his tattered and frayed black shirt and orange jacket. "Man, I need new clothes, these have just about run their course," he said aloud to himself. He was so absorbed in looking at his jacket that he failed to notice a certain green, pointy eared teenager sneak up behind him, carrying a small package.
Seeing his chance, BeastBoy threw his "package" at Naruto's unprotected back. This package was in fact a balloon filled with grease. Before he knew it, Naruto was drenched in the slippery substance "hahahahaha!! I got you!" BeastBoy laughed triumphantly, that is until he saw Naruto's vengeful stare filled with mischief. "AAAHHHH!!!! RUN AWAY!!" He yelled, transforming into a dog and running down the hallway.
"I'm going to kill you, BeastBoy!" Naruto yelled after the shapshifter.
Every time BeastBoy would turn a corner, Naruto would end up sliding straight into the wall, not being able to turn well because of the grease. BeastBoy made one final turn into a room "I've got you noOOOOOWW!" Naruto hollered, because when he tried to stop to turn into the room, he didn't stop like he planned and just kept going. Finally managing to get up, he walked into the dark room breathing heavily. He was about halfway into the room when the lights flicked on "Surprise!" Four voices said at once.
Naruto, blinded by the sudden light, was rubbing his eyes trying to get the spots out of his vision. When he opened them he saw all his friends standing around him looking happy "What's all this about?" Naruto asked them.
"Well we just thought" Robin started.
"That because you're part of the team now" Cyborg continued.
"You don't need to be sleeping on that lumpy couch" BeastBoy said.
"So we got you your own room" Raven finished.
"Do you like it?" Starfire asked the surprised blonde.
Naruto looked around the room; it was slightly more decorated than plain so you couldn't call it Spartan. There was a simple double bed in the corner, a twenty-one inch flat screen TV mounted on one of the walls. But what Naruto was really drawn to was the window, it was basically the entire west wall and it would have shown a glorious view of the sunset if it were that time. "It's awesome guys" Naruto said turning back to everybody.
"We kept it a little plain so you could decorate it anyway you like" Robin explained.
"I love it; in fact" Naruto jumped onto the bed "I think I'll test it out tonight"
"Alright then" Robin said with a slight laugh "I guess we'll just leave you then, come on guys"
As soon as everyone left, Naruto got up from the bed and reached into his pouch. He felt around inside until he found what he was looking for, the scroll he always carried around with him. Biting his thumb, he smeared the blood over the seal, making it roll open. And on the scroll was another seal, this one a summoning seal, once again smearing blood over it causing a poof of white smoke. The smoke quickly cleared showing his most precious belongings; his frog wallet, Tsunade's necklace (he had taken it off before chasing after Sasuke) a photo album with pictures of his old home and friends, and a single framed picture. This one he picked up and placed on the bedside table. It was the picture of Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura and himself the day they became a genin team.
Looking one last time at the picture Naruto put on the necklace, got into bed and willed himself to sleep.
Inside his mind Kyuubi felt sorry for Naruto "I think I should do something nice for the kit for a change" he said aloud "I know!" Kyuubi began to concentrate and took control of Naruto's right hand. "He'll love this"
AN: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! new chappy is done. as always read and review both my stories you freakin' bastards!
