This is Ryu Kotei saying that I do not own Naruto, Justice League, or anything related to DC. I also do not own the movies mentioned in this chapter (even with Metal Gear Rising: Revengance being a game, although it would be a cool movie to see) or the songs mentioned.

Chapter 7
Robin was in the main room talking to Batman about what he had seen on Reaper's little…gift. "So you think Talia might still be alive?" Batman asked as he observed the freeze frame of the woman's face, "I saw her get shot in the back by Joker and she was gone by the time I returned to check on her body. I don't doubt that Talia may still be alive, but it is possible for just coincidence as I have never seen Reaper during the Gotham Incident." Robin brought a hand to his chin as his mentor had a point as even though Talia could be alive, chances are is that she would be badly crippled or had died sometime after leaving Gotham. "I'll keep looking into it though," said Batman with a stern voice that hid his caution, "If Talia is still alive AND involved with Reaper, then Reaper maybe more powerful or influential than he appears. Now, I believe you will be having a guest soon. Watchtower, out." Robin shut off the link before heading towards where the garage where the other Titans were waiting.
"I can't believe WE are going to be bodyguards to THE Naruto Wilson!" Beast Boy cheered with fan boy giddy, "I have ALL of his movies! My favorite was in the film adaptation of MGR: Revengance where he played that Monsoon dude; he was completely kickass!"
Cyborg chuckled as he said, "My favorite was the remake of Psycho with his role as that creepy Bates dude, especially when he did that monologue with all of those stuffed birds in the room."
Raven smirked as she said, "I kind of liked his part in the rendition of Midsummer's Night Dream as Oberon."
"You just wanted to see him in those tights," Cyborg joked as he remembered seeing Raven ogle at the actor when they had seen the film, "You also wanted to see what was under those tights."
"I did not like any of the parts where Naruto was the bad guy," Starfire admitted with a rare small scowl on her face, "He was cruel and manipulative and he did not care for those whom he had tricked. He had even made the honorable hero, Beowulf, into a villainous murderer and braggart."
"Focus Titans!" Robin spoke with authority in his voice, "We are not here to admire Mr. Wilson for his films. We are to PROTECT him as he was recently targeted by one of the villains of the Justice League!"
Cyborg shook his head and said, "Sheesh take it easy man. True he was targeted by Toyman, but he's dating Livewire. If anyone should be mad, it should be her since Toyman did try to kill Naruto."
"I'd actually have to say that she's pretty pissed about this whole ordeal," said a voice as the Teen Titans looked to see Naruto and Shinobi, "especially since the League is putting me in the care of you brats."
"Please Wilson-san," said Shinobi as she tried to reason with the actor, "we are only trying to protect you as Toyman is a serious threat since he had tried to kill you. It is only a coincidence that you are scheduled to appear at a parade here in Jump City." Naruto scoffed before deciding to walk around the garage as Shinobi looked at the teens and said, "Please forgive him, he had just gotten off with his insurance company after paying a visit to his girlfriend. Livewire wasn't too pleased with the ordeal as well."
Robin nodded and said, "We'll make sure that he's protected whenever he leaves the Tower, Shinobi. We'll contact the League if anything comes up."
The kunoichi nodded before she leaned towards Robin and whispered, "I also asked Bat-senpai to have Kyuubi and Mokuzai here as a little insurance should Reaper make his appearance." Robin nodded before seeing Shinobi vanish through the Zeta Tube that was installed in Titan's Tower to stay connected to the Justice League.
"So," said Robin as he approached Naruto, "how about we show you to your room?' Naruto shrugged as he watched Raven teleport his belongings to the room he would be staying at. The blonde followed the group as they gave him a small tour of the Tower before leading him to his room. After the Titans had left his room to give him privacy, Naruto sat on the bed where his suitcases and bags were and pulled out a picture of Livewire wearing a navy blue one piece swimsuit that hugged her body in all the right places.
"I just got here and I'm already missing you Sparky," Naruto said as he easily remembered the villainess's gift to him, "Too bad we won't be able to see each other in our conversations." The blonde gave the picture a loving kiss before placing it inside his suitcase as he was already missing his sparkplug.
A few hours had passed as Naruto was in the training room wearing grey sweatpants and black boxing tape over his hands. The Titans nearby watched the former MMA fighter unleash a fury of punches and kicks as each strike showed the power behind them with Riot from Three Days Grace blaring from the stereo.
"Damn," Cyborg spoke over the stereo, "Dude's fast." The others had to agree that the only person in their group who could match the blonde without superpowers would be Robin.
"His nickname was "Flash Demon" back during his career as an MMA fighter," Robin responded as the blaring music kept pounding in his ears.
Having enough of the offensive music, Starfire walked towards the stereo and shut it off to save her friends from the loud assault. "HEY!" Naruto yelled as he approached the red-haired girl, "That was my workout music!"
"I am sorry," Starfire said as she placed her hand on her hips and faced the blonde, "but your music of working out was obviously too loud for anyone to tolerate and the words spoken by those musicians spoke nothing but destruction that wouldn't benefit anyone!" Naruto shoved by her to turn the stereo back on but was blocked by Starfire.
"If you want to listen to music while doing the working out," the Tamaranean girl offered, "then either turn down the booming sounds or change the song." Giving the girl a sneer, Naruto turned the stereo back on and changed the song with Guile's Theme blaring even more loudly than the previous song.
Starfire shut the stereo off as the blonde looked at her and said, "Hey, you said to either turn down the volume or change the song; you never said anything about both."
Getting closer to Naruto, Starfire looked at the blonde and said, "You did not have to be a smart butt about the offer!"
Beast Boy and Cyborg both paled as one knows to never threaten a guy when he was working out…especially if the guy you are threatening happens to be a former MMA FIGHTER!
Naruto narrowed his eyes before a smirk formed on his face as he said, "Alright, how about this Red: You and your friends go on a one-on-one fight with me. Nothing beyond extra strength. If I win three of those fights, I'll listen to my tunes however I like it."
Starfire looked at Naruto and said, "But if we win, we will listen to whatever music we choose for the working out. Even the Japanese songs Beast Boy that Cyborg calls cheesy listens to."
The blonde nodded before placing a hand under Starfire's short skirt and flipped it, exposing her rear for the other Titans to see as he then said, "Challenge accepted."
Robin was about to apprehend Naruto for flipping Starfire's skirt, but the girl placed a hand to stop the Boy Wonder. "What are you doing Star?" Robin asked as he kept himself from looking, "That's sexual assault!"
"On your planet it is," said Starfire as she used her free hand to flip the skirt back down to cover her modesty, "but on Tamaran…it is a challenge to the highest degree should one's rear be exposed to friends by the challenger in such a manner. To refuse would bring the utmost shame that the one challenged is to be exiled from Tamaran until the challenged faces the challenger by challenging them in the same manner." Robin paled as he saw the deadly look on Starfire's eyes and knew that this was a serious matter to her.
"I'll deal with him after the fight," said Robin before the girl gave him a small glare.
"It would be unwise to confront him with ill intentions or to imprison him in my honor," Starfire said as she watched an eight-sided ring appeared from the floor, "Such an action from one who would be associated with the one who had been challenged would bring dishonor and shame to them." Seeing Naruto pull off his sweatpants to reveal black and white shorts and enter the cage, Starfire tightened her knuckles and said, "True that this is Earth and not Tamaran, Naruto challenged me through Tamaranean customs and I have no choice but to either accept his challenge or face the undeniable shame of not accepting his challenge. I must accept his challenge as I am one of royal blood, or bring shame onto my family."
Robin let out a sigh as he said, "Alright, but I'm not going to let what he did slide. I will talk to him about this." Starfire said nothing as she approached the ring with the other Titans following her quietly.
"Who's up first?" Naruto asked as he put his mouth guard that he had in the shorts' pocket as he saw Robin enter the ring, "Just remember the rules, Pretty Boy: no fancy gadgets or weapons, just good old fashion hands and feet." Robin nodded as he tossed his utility belt, hidden weapons, and his cape over the ring for them to land outside of the ring. Robin got into his fighting stance as Naruto brought his fists up into a boxing stance.
"Say Star," Cyborg asked as he couldn't get the image of the girl's skirt flipping upwards out of his head, "why aren't you fighting him first considering…you know?"
Starfire kept her gaze on the two fighters in the ring as she said, "True that I was the one challenged in that manner, he initially challenged all of us to a fight. The member of the group that was challenged must be courteous and allow others that were challenged beforehand go before them."
Beast Boy looked at Starfire and said, "But he might already win the bet before he even reaches you. It is best three out of five."
The Tamaranean girl narrowed her eyes and said, "Of course. But even so, I cannot deny his challenge no matter the circumstances; the both of us must fight."
At the start of the bell, Robin quickly dashed towards Naruto with a kick flying but missed when the blonde ducked and dashed in for the assault. The Boy Wonder was avoiding each of Naruto's punches until he got caught in the gut before getting a kick that sent him crashing into the cage. Quickly getting onto his feet, Robin jumped to the side before diving towards Naruto with a tackle. The blonde sidestepped before having to block a kick as Robin twisted his body in a handstand. With another twist, Robin was able to knock the blonde off his feet before seeing Naruto use his hand to flip back onto his feet before starting to dance.
"Why is he dancing?" Starfire asked as she continued to watch Naruto dance around Robin as the Boy Wonder was also blocking and avoiding Naruto's attacks.
"It's his style," said Cyborg as he had seen all of Flash Demon's fights, "Naruto's body structure is more suited to martial arts styles that focuses on speed, movement, and agility such as capoeira or Zui Quan , or Drunken Fist, as his constant movement and agility allows him to throw his opponents off balance with flashy moves while his speed would allow Naruto to deliver quick jabs instead of powerful haymakers like a brawler would normally do." Cyborg watched as Naruto used the chain fence of the cage to flip over Robin and delivered a series of quick jabs to the Boy Wonder's back around the shoulder blades and said, "It's almost like watching a school of piranhas at times: quick, confusing, and brutal. That is how he earned the name of Flash Demon."
Inside the cage, Robin was breathing hard from having to avoid the onslaught of punches and kicks while trying to get close to the blonde. Robin had to admit that Naruto was fast and ruthless with his attacks and his movements were hard to track as one minute he would be dancing then staggering around like a drunk. I know Bruce had me go through some intense training, Robin thought as Naruto continued to dance around the area, but this guy's brutal! Robin then saw the blonde going for a head kick and went to block it, but he wasn't expecting the blonde to purposely miss him and use the momentum for a powerful punch that sent the Boy Wonder into one of the corners of the ring.
Naruto watched as Robin was fighting to stay conscious, but smirked as the Boy Wonder's slump over as that signaled Robin's defeat. "1-0," said the blonde as Robin was carried out of the ring before Cyborg entered.
"I've always wanted to go toe-to-toe with the legendary Flash Demon." the cybernetic teen said with a small smile.
Naruto rolled his shoulders as he said, "Always nice to meet a fan of mine." The bell sounded as the two fighters charged in to begin their match.
Up in the Watchtower, Minato and Kushina were watching the fights with Batman when Wildcat entered.
"What's going on?" the aging boxer asked as he viewed the screens, "Is that Naruto fighting the Teen Titans?"
Minato nodded and said, "Yeah. Naruto is pretty good in the taijutsu department…really good. His movements are similar to the taijutsu style the Hyuga Clan uses."
Seeing how Cyborg was fighting Naruto, Wildcat chuckled a bit and then said, "I've not only seen Naruto's fights but I've even faced him in the underground fights. Trust me when I say this, but Naruto is fucking brutal when nothing's held back. Kid's broke more arms, ribs, legs, and even faces than his own injuries. There is a reason he's called the Flash Demon."
Kushina kept watching as Naruto was now spinning around Cyborg with such agility that it was frighteningly beautiful. She remembered Rock Lee at how his skills in taijutsu were so amazing that Lee was fighting with the ferocity of a great lion. But when Lee and Arashi met in the finals of the Chunin Exams where the taijutsu expert was easily getting through Arashi's defenses…at least until her son taped into the Kyuubi's chakra and not only completely scorched Lee's chakra system, but also gave the teen third degree burns on almost all of the teen's body. Lee's skin was completely burned off while his insides were being boiled by his own blood. Tsunade said that Lee was lucky enough to BE lucky to have survived such destruction done to his body.
After the invasion, Kushina and Minato were under fire for what Arashi had done to Lee and Hinata. The two of them had lost so many friends because they were ashamed to have known them and were wary of Arashi as even though his chakra was sealed, the jinchuriki was still trained to fight and the teen was a complete monster during the fights.
Monster, Kushina thought as Naruto was now fighting Beast Boy as he allowed the changeling to turn into a bear, I never would have thought of my own child as a monster. We had showered Arashi with affection and praise while we left Naruto behind unloved. Naruto had just finished his fight with Beast Boy as he was now fighting Raven while Kushina kept on lamenting. Now Minato and I are wanting Naruto's love but he doesn't want us now, Kushina thought as Raven had quickly forfeited when she was easily cornered, Arashi had brought us shame because of our mistakes while you have brought honor through you own two feet. Kushina walked out of the room with a tear rolling down her cheek as she wanted to be on her own.
Please forgive me, Naruto…
In Titan's Tower, Raven had stepped out of the arena as Starfire entered while Naruto smirked.
"Just you and me now, Red." said Naruto as he rolled his neck, "Even though I've already won the bet, I believe that I should at least give you a chance. How about this, no rules about illegal hits as the only rules are no killing and nothing above having a strength boost." Starfire nodded as she tightened her knuckles, ready to restore her honor.
*DING!*
Starfire quickly rushed Naruto and threw a powerful haymaker, but missed as the blonde moved to the side and countered with a throw to the fence. Getting back to her feet, the Tamaranean quickly went on the defense as she was dodging and weaving around Naruto's attack. The blonde then flipped behind Starfire and got the girl in a chokehold before the girl jumped onto the mat with Naruto taking the full brunt of the fall. Starfire was about to try and roll out of the hold, but felt Naruto wrap in legs around the girl's waist, so she had to resort to using elbow jabs to try and get herself free.
I must stay strong! Starfire thought as her vision was starting to blur, I cannot let him beat me! The Tamaranean was able to roll herself over and slowly got to her feet, Naruto still hanging on as the girl was trying to shake the blonde off. Naruto had jumped off as he lost his grip and flipped onto his feet and began dancing. Starfire had to move quickly to avoid Naruto's attack before going in for a kick to the head, but the blonde had caught her ankle with one hand.
"A piece of advice for any of your future fights," Naruto said with a devilish smirk, "Wear some protective gear and some panties." The blonde used his free hand to punch Starfire between her legs before giving the girl a shoulder toss right into the cage. The Tamaranean girl bounced of the chain links and landed on the mat before she slowly got to her feet as she held herself.
Starfire didn't have time to think as Naruto soon rushed towards her in a fury of flashy movements that hid the punches and kicks the blonde threw towards her. She swayed, ducked, and blocked whatever attacks were thrown at her while trying to land some hits on Naruto until she found an opening.
"Time for a taste of your own medicine!" Starfire roared as she punched the blonde between the legs, causing Cyborg and Beast Boy to cringe while covering themselves. The Tamaranean smirked a bit but paled as she saw that Naruto was unfazed before seeing a flash of darkness when the blonde gave her a powerful headbutt. The other Titans watched in complete shock as Naruto was now spinning around Starfire while delivering quick jabs before tripping the disoriented girl to the mat and pinning her.
Starfire opened her eyes to see Naruto applying pressure to her throat while have a fist cocked back.
The Tamaranean stole a quick glance before she said, "I submit; You are the victor." The blonde smirked as he released his grip and stood on his feet before reaching down the front of his shorts. The Titans saw the former MMA fighter pull out an athletic cup that was completely dented from Starfire's punch and were shocked that the blonde was still walking without a limp. If he can take a punch like that, everyone thought as Naruto gathered his belongings and left the gym, just how much pain tolerance does he have?
In a warehouse in Jump City, Yamato and Arashi had just finished watching the fights through the hidden spy cam that was given to them by Batman.
"Naruto's taijutsu skills is actually quite amazing," Yamato said through his ANBU mask, "He could probably put Gai to shame."
The red-head scoffed as he said, "Doesn't matter just how good his taijutsu skill is, he'll never be as great as me! He just got lucky with that cheap shot when I insulted that slut he's with." Yamato shook his head as he was wondering why, aside from acting as a leash, he was paired with the temperamental genin.
"The Jump City Parade is just a few days away so we must be on our guard should there be a threat that the Titans cannot handle," Yamato said as he needed to remind Arashi of their mission, "Your mother also wanted us to keep an eye on your brother and help the Titans in keeping him safe."
"Whatever," Arashi scoffed as he leaned out the window to view the citizens oblivious to the genjutsu on the window, "That fucking waste of space will never be my brother."
In one of his many hideouts, Deadshot heard his cell phone ring and answered it.
"Hello." said the assassin as he held a cup of coffee, "Deadshot here. Another job? Sure, who's the poor sap." The assassin took a sip of his coffee before suddenly spitting out and said, "You want me to kill WHO?! So he's connected to the Justice League? Alright and how much were you paying? Wow, that's a lot of zeroes. I'll take the job. Make sure you have that check ready." Deadshot shut off the phone and chuckled as the amount of money he would be receiving would actually be worth killing this guy and of course there was a bonus in it for him if the guy's death was seen by the public.
The assassin chuckled as he then said, "Road trip."
Night had fallen upon Titan's Tower and not a sound was heard as a figure in black traveled through the halls. The figure silently ran through the hall all the while hugging the shadowed wall before rolling to the other side before traversing the hall again. The shadowed figure soon reached the living area and approached the computer to begin his work. His fingers flew across the keyboard as the screen shone brightly against the night.
"Who's there?" said a familiar voice as the figure turned to see Starfire, "Robin?"
"Yeah it's me Star," said 'Robin' as he lightly turned towards the girl, "Just checking the databases and doing a few updates. I'll be a while as I also need to update the backup files so you can head back to bed. You'll need your rest since who knows who could be targeting Naruto aside from Toyman."
Starfire groggily nodded as she floated towards 'Robin' and gave him a kiss of the cheek as she said, "Good night."
Once the Tamaranean girl was gone, 'Robin' smirked under his mask as he continued his work on the collection of files. "Good night Starfire," said the figure as the computer was alerting him about a virus within the system, "Have pleasant dreams."
Morning had arrived as Naruto was in the living area getting a movie ready as Beast Boy was preparing some popcorn.
"Too bad the others are trying to hunt down the person who hacked into their systems," said Naruto as he was looking at one of the films he had starred in, "Still, I wonder how that person got into such a highly secured system?"
"Well he did destroy a lot of stuff on the computers," said Beast Boy as he got a couple of empty bowls out, "The records we have on some criminals, a few blueprints of the Tower, the backup files, and even all of my high scores!"
Before the two could register what had happened, the window had shattered as the new H.I.V.E. 5 busted through the window. "Alright Snot-Face," Gizmo ordered as he hovered in the air, "Give us Pretty Boy over there and we won't hurt you as much."
"You didn't say please Gizzy," said the newest member of the H.I.V.E. 5 with a child-like voice, "You can get a lot of things if you say please." The new member was actually a grown woman with fluffy blonde hair wearing a flashy school uniform and a porcelain mask in the shape of a child's face. The new member happily skipped towards Beast Boy and held out a hand, much to the confusion of the changeling and the chagrin of the other members of the H.I.V.E. 5. "I'm Lati," the woman introduced herself with a cute giggle in her voice, "I'm here with Mr. Reaper's friends because he says I need to be with other people my age. You're really cute as you remind me of my pet lizard!"
"Lati!" Gizmo scolded as the woman's attitude, "You're NOT our age as we were told by our sources that you're just a ten-year-old girl trapped inside of an adult's body! Now flash him!"
"You're mean!" Lati said as she faced the engineer, "Mr. Reaper told me that I'm old enough to be with you guys since Jinxie left AND you didn't say please!"
A vein on the small boy's scalp pulsed as Gizmo then said, "Please flash Beast Boy."
The woman giggled as she said, "See Mr. Grumpy. I doesn't hurt to say please. I'll flash him now."
Lati turned towards Beast Boy and ripped open her shirt to reveal her C-cupped breasts, making the changeling fall back from the nosebleed he was given.
"I don't think Gizmo was meaning that kind of flash," said Mammoth as he held a flashbang grenade.
"Oopsie," said Lati as she giggled before buttoning up her shirt, "Now let's take Blondie to Mr. Reaper!"
"Not on our watch," said a voice as the H.I.V.E. 5 turned to see the other members of the Teen Titans as Robin then looked at Gizmo, "I take it that you hacked into our systems, Gizmo."
Gizmo chuckled as he said, "For once Bird Brain you're wrong as it was Slade who hacked into the systems. We're here to bring Naruto here to a friend of ours."
"Yeah!" said Lati as she skipped towards Naruto and placed her hands on the actor's shoulders, "Mr. Reaper and Blondie here will be great friends!" Gizmo's eye twitched as he and the others looked at the childish woman with a disappointed look. "Oopsie," Lati innocently said as she tapped her fingers together, "Guess that was to be our little secret."
"Titans, GO!" Robin ordered as he and the others rushed towards the H.I.V.E. 5 with Raven going towards the fallen Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, what happened?" Raven spoke as she tried to wake the changeling, "What did they do to you?"
"I just showed him my boobies," said Lati as she approached the empath, "He's silly."
Raven looked at the woman with a small blush on her cheeks as she said, "You did WHAT?!"
Lati giggled as she saw the black aura surrounding Raven's hand and said, "Oooh magic, yay! You gonna to pull a bunny out of your bikini?" The empath sneered a bit before launching dark energy towards Lati, but the woman was somehow dodging the attacks while giggling like a little girl. "Cool!" Lati cheered as she weaved her hands into intricate patterns, "My turn! Shui Le La Ma Te Mi Uo Vri Ko Go Ma LA!" Raven flinched back as a flash of light from a flashbang shone brightly into her eyes before feeling a sharp kick launching her into the counter.
Robin saw Raven on the floor unconscious as he turned his attention towards the childish woman. After knocking Billy Numerous out with a flashbang, the Boy Wonder then charged towards Lati into a tackle but missed as the woman leaped over him. "Yay, Leap Frog!" the woman cheered before she saw Robin get to his feet, "Mr. Reaper told me about you Robin."
"Reaper!" Robin said as he was now on the defensive, "What has he told you about me?"
"He told me that you were a bully," Lati answered as she ignored Starfire and Cyborg fighting Gizmo and Mammoth, "You learned how to be a bully from another bully. Mr. Reaper told me about Batman and that man is nothing but a bully and a boogieman!"
"That's not true!" Robin countered as he went onto the offense while Lati was casually weaving around Robin's attacks.
"Mr. Reaper also told me that I shouldn't trust bullies like you," the woman said as she continued to evade and deflect the Boy Wonder's attacks, "You bullies say you help everyone but really you are hypo…hippo…crates that just bully people for attention! Besides…"
Lati placed a hand on Robin's shoulder before leaning towards his ear and with a sultry and mature voice said, "…how can you trust your own mentor and the new members while they withhold information about Kyuubi and the demon sealed inside of him. Can you really trust someone with his kind of attitude with the power of a demon? You have already had to face Trigon when he was released, but how will you and your little team handle the power of the real Kyuubi? Do you really think that you will be informed about an actual demon that could destroy mountains and islands with the swipe of one of its nine tails?"
Lati quickly punched Robin in the gut and fled towards the broken window and with her child-like voice said, "We need to get back to Mr. Reaper! We've been here too long and I'm not looking forwards into getting a spanking from those bullies from the Justice League!"
"What about Naruto?"
"Oh yeah," said Lati as she launched a wire that wrapped itself around Naruto and pulled the celebrity towards the villainess, "Now we can go see Mr. Reaper!" Before the Teen Titans could act, Lati set off some flashbangs and blinded them before she and the other members of the H.I.V.E. 5 made their escape.
"*cough**cough* Where are they?" Cyborg said as he tried to clear the cobwebs out of his vision while Robin staggered up to his feet and walked towards the broken window.
"They got away," Robin said as he saw that the villains were long gone, "We need to go after them!"
"But how will we find them?" Starfire asked as she held Raven on her shoulder before seeing Robin pull out his communicator.
"I have my ways," the Boy Wonder said as he saw the small blip on the screen, "However, I'm also calling in some backup since we may end up dealing with Reaper."
"We're already here," said a voice as the conscious Titans looked and saw Mokuzai and Kyuubi walking through the destruction, "I believe we should act immediately. Robin, you and Starfire are with me and Kyuubi while Cyborg will stay behind and help Beast Boy and Raven." The group nodded as Mokuzai, Kyuubi, Robin, and Starfire left through the window while Cyborg took Raven and Beast Boy to the Med Room.
At a random hideout, the members of the H.I.V.E. 5, save for Lati, were waiting outside a room as only Lati was allowed to take Naruto inside to meet with Reaper.
"I wonder what they're doing in their?" Mammoth asked as he, See-More, Billy Numerous, and Kyd Wykkyd were playing cards, "I mean, why would Reaper only want to meet with Lati?"
"I don't know!" Gizmo growled towards the hulking teen, "Probably playing favorites since Lati was personally trained by him."
Curiosity then took over the group as they leaned their ears against the door and heard muffled voices…
"Please, Mr. Reaper! I'll be a good girl!" said Lati's voice with fear, "Anything but that!"
"I'm sorry Lati, but this hurts me more than you." Reaper's voice said calmly, "Being late makes you a bad girl and bad girls must be dealt with…Now drop them."
"The hell are they doing?" See-More asked before…
*smack!*
*smack!*
*smack!*
"Is she…" Billy said as the sound continued, "Is Lati getting spanked?" Kyd Wykkyd brought his cloak against the door and carefully leaned his face into the dark fabric before pulling out and nodded.
"Sucks to be her then," said Mammoth as he decided to walk away from the door, "I've heard that Reaper is pretty fucking brutal. I've even heard that he killed a group that was sent in to kill him while banging some chick. Anyone who can do that is brutal." The other guys decided to get back to what they were doing as to avoid Reaper's wrath as he may turn his attention towards them next.
Inside the room, Lati had just pulled her skirt back up as Reaper went to examine Naruto. "Now what have we learned, young lady?" Reaper asked as Lati was rubbing her sore rear.
"Never be late for a meeting," the woman said as she noticed a large crate, "What's that Mr. Reaper?"
"Oh this thing?" Reaper said as he patted the box and smirked under his mask, "Just a little gift from our robotics expert; got it just in time for the Jump City Parade too."
"Oooh a parade!" Lati said as she forgot about being spanked, "Can I go? Can I go? Please, please, please? I promise to be a good little girl this time."
Reaper approached the woman and placed a hand on her shoulder as he said, "You can go Lati, but you must remember your promise to be a good girl…my little ghost."
Lati chuckled as with her mature voice, she said, "Of course I'll be a good girl…Grim."
What does Reaper/Naruto have planned for the parade? And what did Lati mean about what she said about Kyuubi?
To save some trouble, Lati is Talia as I decided to have her act like Obito did when he was with the Akatsuki: acting childish while hiding the fact that she is powerful.
Don't forget to rate and review!
Ja ne.
