Hello, everyone hoped you had a may, I actually wanted to do a mother day story with my favorite mother and son duo, if catch my drift. But I ended up forgetting when mother day was and ended up unable to finish it in time, oh, well maybe next year. Still, hope you enjoy this 30k+ chapter, my now longest chapter ever and there will be a one somewhat major time skip. I had to cut some stuff out, unfortunately, this chapter that will end up as Omake in the next chapter. One last thing I got a lot of people telling me I missed the lemon last chapter, well hate to break it, there wasn't supposed to be one as it was at most a blowjob scene. So anywho...big shoutout to my new beta- jangoman1579.

So sit back, relax and enjoy

Chapter 7: A birthday to remember


Naruto, are you sure about this?" Kushina asked as she watched her son wrapping up his hands and wrist up in bandages. Right now, the two were by themselves at his school, when the coach decided to put together a practice match between them and another school at the last minute. The coach said that, while the event itself was not that important, gaining the experience in fighting in front of a crowd and fighting in a semi-official match was. Naruto had a slight scowl on his face when he remembered the looks on his club mates faces when he said that. The coach did not expect much from them, he fully expected them to fail, well, he was going to be proven wrong. Naruto was excited to actually be in a match, his mother, on the other hand, was far more concerned.

"Kaa-san, you don't have to worry about me," Naruto commented as he proceeded to finish wrapping and tighten the bandages. Kushina's eyes narrowed, placing her hand on her hips.

"As if I'm worried about you, I trained you to be a badass as I am. It's just…" Kushina paused as tried to come up with an excuse to hide her concern, even if she had trained her son. He was still her precious baby boy; she had a right to be concerned.

"Kaa-san, I'll be fine. Besides, this isn't an official event. All the boxers from the other schools will be my age and they have a lot more rules to protect the boxer's then professional league. We even have to wear protective headgear and certain types of gloves when we fight." Naruto said as he removed his shirt and got his boxing gear on. "Besides, you did train me I'll be fine."

Kushina stayed quiet as she bit her tongue to stop herself from saying anything else. "Fine, just…be careful, okay? I will be watching near the front row; the Takagi's will be watching with me. Good luck." With that, Kushina gave him a large hug and kiss on the cheek before she left to go to her seat leaving Naruto behind as he took a deep breath and waited for his match.

"Yo, Naruto-kun!" His coach called out as he walked up to Naruto, "Are you ready for your debut?"

"As ready as I will ever be," Naruto stated as he rolled his shoulders and started to bounce from one foot to the other. His coach let out a hearty laugh as he patted his student on the back causing him to trip a bit.

"I'm glad to see you hyped up, now, I don't really need to say anything that you already haven't yet heard me say already with the others. You are the last person from our club to go on, so you probably feel a little nervous given how the others performed." His coach stated as Naruto stiffened a little. Out of the 7 other members, only 2 had won their matches. Therefore, he had a fair bit of pressure riding on his shoulders. "Now, I don't expect much out of this, but the person you are up against is a year older than you, but has only about 4 months of in-ring experience. He is a swarmer (1) so he's going to try to get in close as soon as the bell rings. If you can keep your distance and just watch for his right hook, you should be fine." Naruto nodded his head with his coach motioning him to follow as they walked off to the ring.

"Why are we here again?" As a 12-year-old Saya said as she had leaned forward with her head placed in her hands. Right now, the Takagi families were currently watching the sporting event from the bleachers of the school's gym. Normally they would not be interested in coming to something like this, however, given the circumstances, they were willing to try it. The unofficial event wasn't anything special as they were only a handful of people watching. Mostly family and friends of the club, there were a couple of other watching who were interested in the sport itself. Yuriko chuckled at her daughter as she ruffled her hair causing her to groan and slapped her hand away. "I don't get why we have to be here to watch a bunch boy wearing shorts hitting each other for fun."

"Saya-chan, we are here to support, Naruto-kun," Souichiro stated as he kept his eyes forward with his arms crossed. He personally never liked these types of events, mostly since he was not a fan of crowds in general. The only reason he was here was to support Naruto. While boxing is an honorable sport in his eyes, he wasn't one to actually watch it. Why couldn't the boy pick kendo instead?

"I understand that but I don't get why onii-chan has to participate in something so barbaric and boring. How long is this stupid thing?" Saya ranted a bit as Yuriko chuckled, hiding her amusement by turning her head to the side. The older woman was actually not that surprised in Naruto's decision to join a combat sport club as he did enjoy fighting a little too much.

"It will be over soon, Naruto-kun is the last person to fight," Souichiro stated as He noticed Kushina coming towards them. "Kushina-san, how is Naruto-kun doing?

"He's not really nervous, if that what you are asking." Kushina stated as she slumped in her seat, "I really don't understand that boy."

"I'm pretty sure no one does," Yuriko said as she glanced at her husband as he kept his gaze forward to notice. "Well, except for one person." Soon the light dimmed as everyone in the gym focused on the ring as they noticed the next fight beginning. It did not take long for one Tokonosu junior high school PE teacher, who has decided to referee for the match, to enter the ring. He quickly recapped the rules that it would be a three-round bout, 3 minutes per round and the winner will be determined by point count. Kushina bit her lip as she shifted in her seat. She listened and waited for the fighters to come in. Soon the two fighters entered the ring the judge then announced her son's opponent as the crowd clapped politely. While the people who knew him cheered loudly. The boy had a small grin on his face as he bounced around on his feet.

"And his opponent, Naruto Uzumaki!" The headmaster announced, as Naruto did not do anything to acknowledge what he said as he just kept his eyes on his opponent, who just held that smirk on his face.

"Kushina-chan, relax you're going to start developing wrinkles," Yuriko said trying to ease her friends worry. This did not do much to help her. Just then the bell rang as they turned their attention to the ring. They watched as the other boy bringing his arms up as he was quick to approach Naruto. He was quick to try to throw an overhand right punch. However, he didn't expect for the blond to block his punch by lifting his left arm. His eyes widen as he saw coming from below was his other hand, he wasn't able to brace himself as it connected with his chin. His head whipped backward as he collapsed on the ground in a daze.

The other school's coach seeing something was wrong, quickly went over to check up on his student as Naruto went to his corner. The nearby school nurse went over as well to check up on the situation. The crowd was silent, stunned to see the 14-year-old drop so fast, even Souichiro raised an eyebrow at that. The other team coach removed the headgear to get a better look at him, after a quick minute, he called over the PE teacher and whispered something to him. The temporary referee nodded his head before he stood at the center of the ring.

"Due to a head injury, the winner of the match Naruto Uzumaki!" The referee called out as he raised Naruto's hands in the air as the crowd cheered and his club-mates were on their feet cheering in excitement, while the loudest cheers came from Kushina and surprisingly Saya.

"That's my boy! Winning in the first round, no less!" Kushina yelled as she knew her son could win; she wasn't worried in the slightest.

"GO! Onii-chan!", Saya cheered as she raised her hand over her head, as Yuriko giggled at her daughter's change of attitude. Souichiro was silent but had a large smirk on his face, as he felt pride in the young boy.

"You never cease to amaze me Naruto-kun," Souichiro muttered, as watch Naruto leaving the ring as he began to be swarmed by his club mates cheering about his first win.


It was early in the morning with the sun being high in the sky, the birds were chirping as Naruto groaned in his bed when the light peered through the curtains in his bedroom window. As the lights hit his eyes, Naruto pulled the sheets over his eyes and turned the other direction.

"Mm, thank you…" A female's voice said from underneath the sheets as the woman shuffled closer to Naruto who wrapped his arms around them.

"Welcome…" Naruto muttered softly as he tried to get back to sleep until he realized that someone else was in his bed. Opening his eyes from underneath his cover to see a familiar head red hair cuddling into his chest for warmth.

"Okaa-san? What are you doing here!" Naruto was suddenly more alert as he saw the purple haired woman lift up her head as she gave him a small glare.

"I was trying to sleep, but someone won't let me." Yuriko jested as she moved her leg over his body, Naruto gulped as his private brushed against her clothed covered privates. This was something she had definitely noticed as she flashed him a small smirk as she placed her hand on his chest. Straightening her body upward as she allows the bed sheets to slide off her back, allowing the boy underneath her a full view of the dark blue bra and thong that she was wearing. His eyes fell to her large breast that was forced into the rather small bra that clearly was not hers.

"It might not be a bad thing; I did always want to try doing this," Yuriko muttered before he can say anything to her, she places her hips on his pelvis making sure to sit on a specific area. Letting out a small moan, as she felt something hard brush against her panty covered mold. "You are already this hard? I guess it's to be expected. After all, that thing has been poking me for a rather long time, mmm…part of me wonders if you wanted me to come here?"

Naruto bit his bottom lip trying not to utter a sound as she began to rock her hips slowly with his morning wood rubbing against her. Thanks to the August heat, the blond had decided to sleep in his boxers, which made the grinding motion Yuriko feel more pleasurable, with only the cloth of his boxer and her thong in between them. He shuddered as her left hand reached down and softly rubbed him through the cloth, as her other hand was placed on his left leg to help her balance. The blond decided that he would place his hands on her thighs as he rubbed them slowly enjoying the movement.

"You like that Naruto-kun? mmm…you like Okaa-san riding you? Do you like her grinding against you like a slut…Oh, fuck." Yuriko moaned with lust-filled eyes staring down at him. She shuddered as she removed her hands from his body, placing them behind her head as she then gyrates her hip in a circular motion. While she focused on moving her hips, Naruto was trying to ignore the pleasure that was building as he felt a wet spot forming on his boxers. His eyes dart in that direction to see a small dark spot formed on the crotch area of the dark blue thong. His throat suddenly went dry as he watches as the older woman's juices start to sip through the cloth.

"I don't think I can wait much longer…"Yuriko stated as her right hand reached down to crass her bra-clad breast, giving a little squeeze as she moans. Lifting her hips off him as her hand reaches into the opening of his boxer, pulling his cock out of the opening. At this time, the purpled haired milf took the time to admire the limb in her hand, just over 8 inches long and about two inches of thick meat. Rather impressive giving his age, at least to her limited knowledge. He shuddered lightly as her finger touched the bulbous head. With a small grin, Yuriko rubbed her finger over the head as a small amount of pre-cum started to form, looks like he was ready to blow any minute. Deciding now would be a good time as any, she moved her hips up brushing his cock against her thong once more causing him to groan out loud. Using her finger, she then shifted her underwear to the side and began to maneuver it towards her lips.

"If you're going to finish, you might as well do it inside," Yuriko said, as she places the tip in the opening just as she was going to move down.

'KNOCK, KNOCK'

"Naruto! Wake UP!" Kushina voice echoed from behind the door as she slammed her hand against it. The two's eyes widen from the sudden action, causing Yuriko to slip instead of entering the head ended up brushing her core and clit sending shivers down her spine. While the young man ended up thrusting his hips to the side causing it to be caught in the cloth of the thong. The foreplay from earlier, texture of the underwear and the sudden interruption by his mother was too much for the blond and ended up ejaculating into the thong. Shooting two large loads of sperm on the inside. Naruto bit his inner cheek to prevent himself from moaning out loud as to not alert his mother about what was happening on the other side. "Hurry up, it's time for breakfast!"

Yuriko clicked her tongue; she so close as well, she should have unplugged Kushina's alarm clock. Damn it, she got cock-blocked. Realizing that Naruto was a bit out of it, she pulled the sheets over Naruto to at least cover his member, adjusted her underwear and grab the small robe that she had left on the floor. Quickly pulling it over her shoulders and tying it up close, she almost sprinted towards the door, unlocking it and opened it to see a robe wearing Kushina reaching for the door handle. She blinked for a second as she saw that it was not her son, that had opened the door.

"Yuriko-chan? Why are you in Naruto's room?" Kushina asked with her eyes narrowed slightly. The tone of her voice showed that she was not pleased by this development, not one bit.

" I was just asking Naruto to do me a small favor before we go out." Giving her friend a reassuring smile, hoping to at least ease her worry a bit.

"Really…. Why couldn't you do it when we are eating breakfast?" Kushina crossed her arms a crossed her robe-clad chest.

"Well, I couldn't have asked Naruto to pick up Saya-chan's birthday present in front of her, can I?" Saya's mother was quick to retort, as Kushina eyed her for a moment before relenting.

"That makes sense. I guess." Kushina said as sighed lightly, "Fine, can you just come downstairs so we can start eating. Saya-chan, been wondering where you were. So, hurry up I don't want to keep the birthday girl waiting"

"Okay, I will be down in second, I need to finish talking to Naruto really quick about tonight," Yuriko said as she shuddered lightly as she felt something warm sliding down the side of her leg. Kushina rolled her eyes, not really in the mood to deal with her friend so early in the morning, she turned around and made her way downstairs. As soon as she was out of sight Yuriko's hand reached down to wipe off the trail of cum dripping down her leg.

"Why couldn't you wait 5 more minutes before you interrupt us…" Yuriko whispered as she looks at the wasted cum before she licked her fingers clean. "I should buy some pineapples for Naruto…"

"Did Kaa-san leave?" the teen asked as he poked his head out from his bedroom, she nodded her head at him, as he walked out dressed in a black tank top and grey shorts. Seeing him dressed up caused her to pout.

"Aww, why did you have to get dressed? It is your house, after all, I'm sure nobody would care if you were half-naked, I know Saya's and I wouldn't mind." The woman stated with a curl of her lips as she wrapped her arms around the teen before he pushed her off him as his head looked down the hall.

"I don't feel comfortable walking around half naked in general," Naruto said as he eyed the staircase after he was sure nobody would come up, he faced Yuriko, cupped her face and kissed her. Yuriko once again wrapped her arms around his neck as she enjoyed the small kiss. She let out a small moan when his hands left her face as he went to cup her ass over her robe. As the boy squeezed her ass, Saya's mother decided to move her hand underneath his shirt rubbing her hands on his six-pack abs. She will have to thank Kushina later for making him work out like crazy. She bit her lower lip as Naruto began to grind his pelvis against her, having recovered from a few moments ago. God, why did Kushina have to interrupt her, as much as she hated she had to stop.

"Mm, Naruto-kun we really should stop," Yuriko muttered as he quickly pulled back as he ended up being caught up in the moment.

"Sorry…I got carried away." The blond backed off with a sheepish expression, as he rubbed the back of his head.

"You shouldn't apologize…"Yuriko whispered as she pecks his lips once more before pulling away and fixing her appearance. As Naruto remember something important.

"Umm, Okaa-san…why are you here?" Naruto decided to repeat the question from before as Yuriko looked.

"What do you-Oh, right you were already asleep by the time we got here." Yuriko muttered placing her hand on her cheek, "Yesterday, Souichiro returned from Shinjuku." Naruto flinched as she continued to speak.

"After we ate dinner together, he ended up telling us that a few of his co-workers and a rather important individual had decided to come to Saya's birthday party. It was rather a last-minute thing, so Souichiro had asked us to stay the night here while he gets everything ready for tonight. By the time we came over Kushina had said you were already asleep." Yuriko explained the situation, well that answered that question. Still, something about this made him nervous, why were a bunch of office workers coming over for a teenage girl's birthday party. He could understand if it was just a couple of his co-workers, maybe this was just something above his current train of thought.

"Oh, before I forget there is something, I need you to do for me later," Yuriko asked as she opened her robe a bit, fishing something out of her bra. He looked dumbfounded, as he watched her pull out a receipt, before handing it to him. "When we go out later, I need you to pick up Saya's gift for me." Seeing nothing wrong with picking up a gift for her, he took the receipt and put it in his pocket.

"Now let's get some breakfast, can't have your mother thinking we are doing anything inappropriate." She said with a wink before she walks away with a sway to her hips, knowing that the young man was watching.

Around the same time, downstairs a pajama-clad Saya was watching her other mother figure, moving around the kitchen gathering the necessary cooking utensils for breakfast.

"Okaa-san, you don't have to do this. I will eat whatever you make. " Saya asked as Kushina looked at her, before waving her off as she grabbed some milk and eggs from the fridge.

"It's fine Saya-chan, it's your birthday I want to make you something special. So just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it." Kushina spoke placing her hands on her hips and waited for the young girl to order. Saya eventually sighed, as she avoided looking at the redhead as she said, "Pancakes?"

Kushina nodded her head, as she was sure that she had everything need to cook pancakes. Good thing she went grocery shopping yesterday. The red-haired mother moved to the fridge her eyes darted towards the hallway more specifically the staircase. A frown visible appeared on her face for a split second as an unpleasant feeling passes through the pit of her stomach. Why was her best friend in her son's room so early in the morning? Since the three women were sharing the same room, which meant Yuriko had to have left the room while Kushina and her daughter were asleep and that only left a brief time window. She should be happy that her friend and son have a good relationship after the awkward few months of avoiding each other. So, she should be happy, right?

"Morning everyone and a big Happy Birthday to you sweetie!" Yuriko exclaimed surprising Kushina, knocking her out of her thoughts, as she walked into the kitchen with Naruto straggling behind her. Saya's mother quickly walked over and gave her daughter a big hug. The pink haired girl was quick to return it before quickly going to glomp Naruto. Yuriko stared at with amusing grin on her face as the blond just hugged her back and said 'happy birthday' to her. Kushina couldn't help but smile at the scene, it was adorable really.

"Oh, what are you making?' Turing her head to see her BFF looking at her, or rather what she was cooking.

"I'm making pancakes…" Kushina said as she returned to her task of gathering everything she needed, milk, eggs, butter, baking powder, and sugar. She quickly brought the items over to the kitchen counter and began mixing. After a few minutes mixing the ingredients into pancake batter wiping off the beat of sweat falling down her brow, she glazed over the trio. Saya was talking to Naruto, more like ranting at what happened last night she couldn't blame the girl since the ended up arriving just after 11:30 at night.

"Aren't you going to start cooking?" Yuriko asked as she snuck up on Kushina who ended up screaming in fright. The two teens turned to see what had happened but when they saw it was just their mother goofing off the returned their conversation. "Seriously, Kushina-chan I'm starting to get hungry."

"Oh, sorry Yuriko, I'll get right…to…work…" the redhead snapped back before trailing off when she noticed Yuriko robe was undone. The fact her robe was undone wasn't the problem she had seen the woman nude before a good number of times, not the point. The reason why she stopped speaking was what the woman had underneath her robe.

"Yuriko…what are you wearing?" singles mother asked her BFF with unsettling sweet tone in her voice.

"You mean this? It looks great right, even though it's a bit tight for my breast." Yuriko spoke with a coy grin in return as she posed with a finger on her chin, letting the robe open just a little more showing off what was underneath causing her to growl in annoyance as she noticed that Naruto and Saya were looking at them, each with a visible blush on their faces.

"Of course, it does, that's why I bought them. WHY ARE YOU WEARING MY UNDERWEAR?" Kushina screamed as wanted to know why her friend was wearing her clothes. Saya let out an exaggerated sigh as she face-palmed; meanwhile, Naruto was quiet when he heard the words his mother just spoken. That would mean what he did earlier with Yuriko was actually his mother's…a couple of thoughts crossed his mind that a son shouldn't be thinking about. Well, that explains why they looked so tight on Yuriko's chest as he silently compared the two breasts.

"I don't see what is wrong about sharing-" Yuriko exclaimed as she smiled coyly knowing what she was doing ticking the redhead off.

"It doesn't matter, you shouldn't even be wearing another person's underwear! You're already stretching out the straps with those giant balloons of yours!" Kushina said as Yuriko shrugged uncaringly as she waved off her comments about her large breast.

"Fine if you want them back you could have just said so." The purple haired woman reached down to untie her rode to remove the underwear, when the redhead grabbed her arm stopping her.

"Don't take it off in front of Naruto-kun! and Saya-chan!" Kushina exclaimed when she saw Yuriko about to undo her rode, grabbing her hands before she began to push her out of the kitchen. "Go upstairs and change! Oh, and put those in the laundry when you take them off! I have already lost some underwear recently. I will not let you lose those, too!" the redhead yelled out as Saya face-palmed at what was happening, this wasn't how she expected her birthday to start off.

"umm…Okaa-san your robe is open…" Saya muttered as she turned her head away to avoid staring too much. Naruto's eyes darted towards his mother to see that she was bare naked underneath the robe, before looking away.

Meanwhile, from up the stairs, Yuriko had a small smile on her face as she heard Kushina shriek. Her plan had worked like a charm, did she wear her friend's lingerie on purpose, oh yes, she did. Why did she wear them some might be thinking, she had numerous reasons why but right now was not the time to think about that. As reached the top she quickly made her way over towards Naruto's room, after all, she only had a limited amount of time and she had some snooping to do. Especially if she wanted to find porn stash as his lover, she should at least know his kinks well besides the more obvious ones. As she hummed her way towards the blonde's room, Yuriko eyes caught a small brown box underneath the bed when she passed her friend's room.

She paused before looking behind her, weighing her options she figured it would be easier to look through Naruto's room then Kushina might as well take what she can get. Besides she was curious what was peeking out from underneath her friend's bed. Slipping inside she closed the door behind her and pulled out the box before she sat down on the bed. Placing the box on her lap and opened the lid as her eyes widen in shock.

"Gosh Kushina…you're naughty girl." Yuriko muttered as she pulled out a rather large vibrator, her eyes couldn't help but notice the varies bumps on the shaft near the base. It even had an option for anal play, wow; she had no idea her best friend was into that. She mentally compared the size with what she had seen, before she noticed a couple of porn DVDs in the box as well.

"I must say, you have an interesting taste. My naughty stepmom, cougar on patrol, Lustful widow, reverse chikan, my hot single teacher, 'stop your father is in the next room'. Kami, you really need to get a boyfriend Kushina" Yuriko listed off Pulling out the case, she began to read the titles of the porno movies, she noted that there was about 10 of them, a few of them were imported from the US too. These must have been recent as a couple of them were still in the shrink-wrap. What happened recently for Kushina to suddenly start exploring herself? Well, she was nosey and bored enough to find out. Maybe her mother-con of a son could help, he would be bound to know if a man intruded on his territory.

"Oh, well, time for Naruto's room." Yuriko quickly put everything back into the box and placed back where it belonged before making her way out the door. After all, she should know what her lover was into.


(About two hours later)

With breakfast done and over with everyone was soon rushing off to get ready to do some last-minute shopping. They had a lot to do before tonight, so by the time everyone had taken a shower and got dress it was already past 10 am. The small group had left the Uzumaki resident in Yuriko's car as it had the most space. Given the fact that it was summer and a weekend, the roads had a decent amount of traffic. It was rather fortunate that the mall wasn't that far from the residential area of the city.

Taipei shopping town was a rather large building with more than four floors filled with a variety of stores, from major chain stores to the simpler mom and pop shop. The mall had a large food court, Movie Theater, a pet store, and even a large bank. Even though the shopping mall was only built last year, it quickly became the go-to place for the people living nearby, especially for those who wanted to avoid going into the city.

"Kushina-chan, where should we go first?" Yuriko asked her friend as she exited the car. Yuriko was now dressed in a short-sleeved black blouse with white capris pants, which was rather casual for a woman of her status.

"Maybe we should find a dress for Saya-chan then we can go from there," Kushina stated, who was in a simple green sundress as closed her eyes in thought. "We will also need to find some shoes and maybe some jewelry to go with it."

"Can we just go? We already wasted two hours just waiting for you guys to get ready." Naruto said as he was feeling rather agitated by the lack of progress and what was about to happen. The blond had an orange button up shirt with a simple black shirt under it, a pair of jeans and black sneakers. Inhaling a deep breath as he already felt mentally exhausted by today.

"I have to agree…" Saya muttered to herself, who was wearing a pink t-shirt that strained from her growing bosom and a pair of hot pants, while she loved shopping as much as the next girl. It meant even more to her since she was able to spend time with both her mother figure and Naruto. Today, however, was different, as she knew today wasn't really for her. She then felt a hand on her shoulder, looking back to see Naruto standing next to her.

"You okay? You were rather quiet all morning; you are not normally this quiet." Naruto asked with a concerned tone, Saya shook her head. As she tried to give him a reassuring smile only to end up looking forced.

"Yeah…I'm fine," To his credit, Naruto narrowed his eyes at her as he looked with suspicion, as he opens his mouth.

"What are you two doing? Hurry up!" Kushina yelled, waving at them as Yuriko and she were already halfway across the parking lot.

"HOLD ON!" Naruto yelled back as he turned his attention to Saya, "Look Saya I know something is wrong, you don't have to tell me but…Just know you can talk to me if you need it."

"…Thank you." Saya whispered softly as she was now playing with a strand of her hair with a small quirk of her lips.

"Okay then let's go," Naruto said as he began walking off, Saya followed after him catching up as she started walking side by side. "Also, happy birthday Saya." The pink haired girl gave him a large smile on her face as she hugged his arm, causing him to blush as he felt his little sister large breast pressing against him. She really had grown all right…

"Glad to see you two still as close as ever. So where should we go first?" Yuriko commented as she asked everyone for their opinion.

"Well, shouldn't we find a dress for Saya-chan? I probably should buy one too, I don't think I have one that is appropriate for a formal party." Kushina said as she mentally thought of the only dress in wardrobe, the last time she wore it was last year and she will not wear that kind of dress in party with a bunch of drunk of old men. At least she knew that her handsome son would protect her if needed.

"Then let us check out some of the stores, maybe I should buy a dress myself," Yuriko spoke absentmindedly as they walked into the main entrance of the shopping mall, Naruto let out a silent moan as he knew he was going to in for a long day. "What about Naruto, what do you think we should have him wear? I think he will look great in a suit."

Oh.

OH, no.


(1 hour later)

"I don't think you look half bad. You look rather mature right now." Yuriko commented as the group was now in a men's wear store and have been there for over an hour just trying to find a suit for Naruto to wear. Right now, the blond was standing in front of a large section of mirrors as he was forced to model for the three women. He was wearing a white suit with a black button up underneath, a white pair of slacks and a white tie.

"I agree with you, Naruto-kun looks great. What do you think Saya?" Kushina asked as nodded her head as she looked towards her daughter figure who was just staring at Naruto with a small blush. The two mothers just chuckled as Naruto ran his hand through his hair as he looked at his reflection with an expression that said 'kill me…'

"I-I think it looks fine but still thinks he should have gone with black instead." Saya huffed her cheeks as eyed the other suit that the store employee was holding, who currently asking Naruto if the suit jacket fit or if he needed a different size.
"Maybe we should look for a different style of the jacket?" Kushina asked as she eyed another evening suit that was nearby.

"That might be best but I don't think Naruto-kun could take much more of this." The purple haired woman said as everyone noticed the expression on his face. "Perhaps we should take a break? Naruto-kun, which one do you like best?'

"Does my opinion matter?" Naruto replied as he figured he would end up having to match with either Saya or his mother.

"Nope, not really, why don't you get changed and you can go take a break. While the rest of us go check out another store, we still need to get our dress." Yuriko than gave him a small wink, Naruto soon figured out what she wanted him to do. He was thankful, as modeling suits for the past hour wasn't something he enjoyed. Entering the dressing room and got dressed up in his clothes as he was getting dressed, Naruto noticed his phone flashing up. Reaching for it, and opened it up to see text that came from Rei and Saeko. He quickly opened Saeko's message as it was sent over 45 minutes, it was a continuation of the conversation from last night,

He sent a replay to Saeko as he soon received another text from Rei, he wondered what she wanted as she was texting him almost nonstop ever since they exchanged numbers at the end of school. It was rather…different, not in a bad way but compared to how he and Saeko texted each other, it was rather interesting. He opened the text and noticed a picture that she sent him; it was a selfie of her in a maid outfit.

'Look at my cute new uniform,' Rei text had read, the blond jaw dropped as he couldn't help but admire how the uniform looked on her. The outfit consisted of a low-cut black top with a matching skirt that had two white horizontal lines near the bottom, a white filly apron and black stockings to complete the look. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail as her uniform had shown off her shapely body and why was he think this. He really wasn't happy about this morning maybe he can ask Yuriko to help him out in the bathroom or something.

'You got a job at a maid café? I didn't think you would work for a place like that.' Naruto replied as Rei was quickly to replay back.

'What is that supposed to mean?! And it's not just a maid café, it's also a cosplay café. I couldn't get a job anywhere else and the owner was nice enough to hire. Not to mention I get to wear a bunch of cute outfits and I get paid rather well, so it is a win-win. Oh, I know, why don't you come over and visit. I can give you some coffee on the house or something.' Rei texted as the blond pause as he thought of what to say, personally, he did not really like the idea of eating at a maid café. Especially by himself and he rather not think about what would happen if his mother or Yuriko found out or came with him to said café, god forbid what Saya would think. He rather let his little sister keep a somewhat positive opinion of him.

'I guess I could go, where is it?

'Great! It's at…' Naruto looked the address it was not that out of the way from the mall but he will need to take the bus towards the city. If was going to go he will have to go later on in the day, maybe he could convince the others to let him leave early. Or he could make a quick stop when he picks up Yuriko's gift. His phone then alerted him that he got another text as he opened it his eyes widen significantly, as he felt his face heat up by the sudden image that he just received.

'Do you think this bikini is too small? I like the color at least.' the text read but that wasn't what his eyes were focused on. Beneath that was a picture of a rather busty woman in a small blue two-piece bikini that looked like it could not contain the woman's massive breast. As much as he hated to admit, he knew who the person in the picture was without looking at the name of the sender.

'Hurry up and meet me at the swimsuit department in the…'

Naruto recognized the store she was in, it was nearby, and he decided it would be best to ignore the woman on the other side of the phone. When he gave the person his number, he didn't think that she would do something like this. Quickly getting dressed and exited the dressing room, to find himself alone in the store. They left him behind…well, he now he might as well go talk to that nurse sending him the pictures.


(A few minutes later)

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Shizuka exclaimed as she began to repeatedly bow to the blond, who currently being glared at by a good number of girls shopping nearby. "I never meant to send you those pictures, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay sensei, please stop bowing your head, we are causing a scene." Naruto tried to calm the frantic Nurse, who upon finding out that she ended up sending pictures of herself to her favorite student, she had rightfully been extremely embarrassed. The blond than grabbed the woman's forearm and began dragging her out of the store. When they were a good distance away, he let go of the woman who had small pout on her face. She looked rather cute when she did that if he was being honest.

"Sorry, I never meant to send you those pictures," Shizuka muttered as she ended up poking her fingers together. As he was making his way over to her, the woman had ended up sending him more pictures of herself in varies swimsuits from the front and the back. Allowing him to see more of the female blond then he would have thought he would ever see.

"Don't worry about it Shizuka." Naruto sighed as leaned against the guard railing, "Still, I don't understand how you ended up mistakenly sending me those pictures?"

"I don't know…I wanted to send those pictures to my friend Rika. She was supposed to have met me here before lunch." The blonde nurse had fished her phone out of her purse as she began scrolling through it, she knew she sent it to the right person.

"Can I see your phone really quick?" Naruto asked her with her handed the object over to him. He opened his contact info on her phone as Shizuka leaned forward slightly to see what he was doing. "Well, that doesn't make sense…"

"What do you mean?" Shizuka leaned forward, even more, forcing her breast to smothered his arm. Ignoring how soft they felt, Naruto turned the phone screen in her direction as he showed her his contact info.

"This isn't my number."

"It's not?" Shizuka blinks in confusion as she looked at the number again; she paused as she tried to recall whom the number belonged to. "Wait, that's Rika-chan number."

"Then that means…" Naruto scrolled through Shizuka phone to find Rika's info, which wasn't hard. "And that is my number, somebody swapped our contact info."

"I know what happened…" Shizuka muttered as she narrowed her eyes, her student looked at her for an explanation. "I think Rika decided to pull a prank on me and switch her number with yours knowing that we were going shopping today…"

"Umm, Shizuka, I have to ask why did Rika switch her number with mine?" Naruto questioned as he wondered how did Rika even know about him?

"I um...been talking about you with Rika for the last few months…" Shizuka let out a nervous chuckle as she avoided eye contact. Naruto blinked for a moment before blushing, he was speechless why was she talking to her friend about him? It was probably nothing but still, he couldn't help but feel…flattered? Forcing himself back on task, now that he found out about those weird pictures, he really had no reason to stay. Perhaps it would be better to leave her.

"N-Naruto-kun…what did you think…" Shizuka asked as her faced flush at what she was about to ask. "What did you think about the pictures?"

"Ohh, umm they, they were…"Naruto ended up flustered as he was taken aback by the sudden question. The busty nurse leaned forward with a look of expectation on her face as she genuinely wanted his opinion. "You looked…gorgeous Shizuka." Naruto began rubbing the back of his head as Shizuka gave him a large smile and wrapped her arms around him pulling him into her chest.

"Really!? You didn't think it was too small?" Shizuka asked with a twinkle in her eye, the male sighed as he tried to ignore how soft her breast was and how good she smelt, when did he become a pervert? It was probably Yuriko's fault.

"Yes, I think your beautiful Shizuka. It wasn't too small." Naruto lied at the last part because he did think the swimsuit was rather small considering how big her oppai's were. Shizuka cupped her face, as she felt a bit bashful about being called beautiful by him.

"I should get going Shizuka," Naruto stated as he pulled out the phone to check the time, as much as he hated so, he will have to get going he still needs to pick up Saya's present.

"Already? Can't you stay a little longer, I still haven't bought a swimsuit yet, and you can help me choose one?" Shizuka asked with a small pout as she presses her breast against his chest to persuade him. Naruto felt his resolve break for a moment but he still needed to get going, as much as he wanted-No, bad thoughts.

"I'm sorry Shizuka but I do have other things to do." Naruto tried to explain as Shizuka sighed in disappointment.

"I understand…" The nurse held her pout as she remembered something important, "In exchange can you do me a favor? You see my friend and I are moving to a new place nearby in the city. So, do you think you can come over and help us move in?" Naruto blinks for a moment before he shrugged his shoulder, he did not mind helping her out and he didn't really have anything going on until the following day at night before the trip to Hawaii. He agreed to help her, as she quickly smothered him again, when did Shizuka get so huggy?

"Thank you! Don't worry it won't be anything too heavy it will mostly be just boxed anyways." Shizuka stated as she let go of the blond, who just nodded his head. "I will send you the address later so come around 8 am tomorrow, we will wait for you."

"Okay, I better get going. See you later, Shizuka." Naruto waved goodbye as he made his way towards a different part of the mall. While Shizuka waved him off, a pair of arms wrapped themselves from behind her.

"So that's the young stud your enamored with. I have to say that I approve," Shizuka yelled out in surprise as she turned to look at the person.

"Rika-chan! Don't do that!" Shizuka exclaimed as Rika let out a hearty laugh. Rika was a dark skin woman with purple hair that was a bit curly and tied into a bun. She was 5'6' and was a rather slender woman a decent sized bust compared to her friend. She was currently in a sleeveless white shirt and blue skinny jeans, but the most notable thing about her at the moment was her lack of bra leaving a nice view of her nipple poking through the shirt. "Why did you change the numbers on my phone? Do you know how humiliating it was to have him get those pictures!"

"Really from what I heard he enjoyed said pictures and I'm pretty sure he never deleted those pictures too," Rika commented as Shizuka blushed when she imagined what Naruto was going to do with her pictures. "Shizuka-chan I don't need you having a perverted fantasy right now. So, did you ask him about tomorrow?"

"Yep! He said he will help out." Shizuka nodded her head as she gave a small smile.

"Oh, good, now we don't have to pay extra for the movers. You found out your hot student is interested in you, all in all, this was a good day. Now come on we still need to buy a swimsuit for this weekend." Rika said as she ignored Shizuka indigent cries. As she walked away Rika thoughts were focused on the blond as she didn't know what to think about him. He seemed like a good kid, well, she will have more time to interrogate him tomorrow she had a lot to talk about with him.

After separating from the school nurse Naruto made his way outside and walked towards the bus stop. Sitting down at the bench as he waited for the bus to arrive, he sent a text to his mother that he was going to be picking up Yuriko's gift for her. She replied just as fast as he sent it, saying she understands that he was doing her friend a favor but she expressed her disappointment that they were not going to spend the day together. She managed to successful guilt him to agree to wear matching outfits for tonight as her escort. His mother didn't need to since he was going to do it anyways.

After 10 minutes of waiting, the bus had arrived; Naruto climbed on board, sat down near the back, and waited as he looked outside the window. He probably should tell Rei that he was on his way…Nah.


"Rei-chan, table 3 order is ready as well as table 6."

"Okay," Rei exclaimed as she entered the kitchen of the maid café, she was working in. Grabbing the food from the small counter where the cook placed the finished orders and head off into front of the café. The place was fairly normal looking for the fact that it was a maid café. There were a couple of wooden tables, booths and glass displays filled with varies types of cakes and sweets right next to the cash register by the door. The place even had a second floor to allow more people to eat there. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that this was just a regular café with strange uniforms.

The door to the café opened, as she passed by to see two familiar male teens enter with an uneasy expression as they looked around looking for something or someone. Rei smiled as she walked up to them, they seemed to have noticed her as they returned the gesture.

"Takashi-kun and Hisashi-san what are you guys doing here?" Rei asked since she remembered that the two were here just the other day when she first started. Takashi was a rather average looking teen with brown eyes, spiky black hair, 5'6 tall and had just turned 15 years old. He was dress in a plain red shirt and brown cargo shorts. She and Takashi are what people would consider close they had been friends for over a decade when they meet in preschool. She even remembered that she and Takashi had made a pinky promise when they first entered kindergarten. While it was silly at the time, it was something she thought of fondly.

"We decided to eat lunch here. Since Takashi needs to buy a last-minute birthday gift for someone." Hisashi explained as he waved hello at her. The other teen was 5'8' and fairly good-looking teen with long gray hair. While she did like Takashi, it didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the sights around her. He was wearing a white polo shirt with a blue pair of jeans. However, the male was someone that rei wasn't familiar with being that he was Takashi's friend and was just introduced a few days ago. He still seemed to be a nice enough guy in her opinion.

"Again? Okay, but you will have to wait until me or one the others are free to seat you." Rei stated as she rushed off to deliver the meals that she was still holding. As she walked off Hisashi quickly elbowed Takashi, who was caught staring at the orange haired girl.

"You really should just tell her how you feel." The gray-haired teen said as Takashi blushed before he grumbled underneath his breath. Hisashi just sighed, he and Takashi had been classmates since the beginning of junior and for as long as he knows him, he would always catch him staring at the same girl. He wasn't a stupid man; he could tell when someone was crushing and his friend was crushing hard. As much as he hated to admit it, so was he. Just the other day was the first time officially meeting Rei and he could see right away that why Takashi felt the way he did.

"I don't think that would be a good idea…" Takashi muttered as he watched Rei serving a couple of older men that were staring at her with red faces.

"Really, cause from what I can see you probably have a better chance than those guys." Hisashi motioned towards the group of men trying to flirt with the girl who just laughed it off. It didn't help that they weren't that great looking.

"Sorry for the wait!" Another maid/waitress said as she approached the duo with a large smile, they were quickly ushered towards an empty table that was nearby. "Would you like anything to drink?"

"Just some water for now," Takashi ordered as he glanced over at the prices on the menu since he just came yesterday, he would have to be careful about what he orders. He still had to buy Saya a present before tonight; he still needed her to tutor him. The woman nodded her head before walking off to another table. "…I really don't like talking about this, what's wrong with being friends? I mean, I would love to go out with her, it's just…what if it doesn't work out?"

"Takashi… if you really like her wouldn't it be better if you do ask her out? In the end, it's just what if? But for how long?" Hisashi asked as the last part caught the teen's attention as he leaned forward. "Look at the facts, you and Rei have been friends for a long time, you are extremely close even the other students at school know about you two. Right now, Rei is in Highschool… Highschool, while we are still in junior high. Things can change, who knows what could happen in the year that you two are apart. You and Rei no longer spend almost every day together now it would be more difficult. She probably has made a lot of new friends and gains just as many admirers."

The grayed hair teen paused as his eyes dart towards the orange haired girl who was still in the middle of her work as she paused to look at the clock on the wall. "Takashi…You're my friend so let me just say this, you should act fast. Because Rei is not going to wait forever for you, I bet you that some others have already seen what a great person she is and ask her out. How long will she say no for? If you don't ask her out then…" His eyes dart towards the girl again, he saw he laugh at a joke that a customer had just told her. "Someone else will take her first."

"Sorry for the wait guys. Today has been rather busy." Rei said as she wiped her forehead of sweat before flashing them a smile as she places the water, they ordered in front of them. "So, what have you been talking about?"

"We were talking about Takashi's plan for tonight, he's been rather tight lip about the party." Hisashi lied as he thanked Rei for the drink.

"Oh, yeah what is that about anyway?" Rei asked as she focused her attention on Takashi, who was still silent from before.

"It's nothing big really. It's just something my mom is making me go to. But I need a way to convince somebody there to help tutor me for the entrance exams," Takashi said as he relaxed in his seat, he has not figured out what he wanted to eat and secretly hoped that she wouldn't ask him about who he was going to ask to tutor him, just to avoid her misunderstanding his intention.

"Oh, what high school are you guys trying to go to?" Rei asked since she wanted Takashi to go to Fujimi with her, although with the rumors going around, she was a bit worried for him. Would he end up going with the wrong crowd or will he be the bullied? Given his laid-back attitude and recklessness, he might end up doing something or catching the wrong attention.

"I haven't decided yet but my mother wanted me to try a private high school in the next town over…" Takashi mention as he awkwardly scratched his chin as both his parents didn't want him to go to Fujimi even though he wanted to. Hisashi having the foresight and immediately knew this had an effect on Rei, injected himself into the conversation.

"I rather not travel too far, so I will try for Fujimi. Miyamoto-san." Hisashi called the girl grabbing her attention enough to stop her subtle glaring of his friend. "What can you tell us about Fujimi?"

"About Fujimi? Well, there's not much to tell really beside it's a boarding school with a rather large campus. A lot of different clubs, a lot of…unique students, the school work isn't as hard as I thought it would be." Rei commented, before remembering that she was still supposed to be working. "Anyways did you guys decide what you want?"

"Oh, can I get a club sandwich with some iced tea," Hisashi ordered as Takashi groaned across from him.

"I'll get a…burger with fries…and water..." Takashi finally decided as he mentally wept for his soon to be empty wallet as nothing on the menu would allow him to buy a decent gift afterward.

"Alrighty, I will get this ready for you two as soon as I can." Rei quickly wrote down their orders and walked off to the back. The two stayed quiet as they decided to chat about what they were going to do after they eat, Takashi said he wanted to get the gift done and over with. The other boy agreed and decided to chat about random things. As they talked, the door to the maid café opened again and walked in a familiar blond teen.

"This is the right place, right?" Naruto muttered as he awkwardly stood by the door. He glanced around at the patrons trying to get a feel for the place. The majority of people here were males but there was a decent number of females mostly college girls. As he stood by the door, he couldn't help but feel some of the other customers were looking at him, he tried to ignore the people around him by pulling out his phone.

He figured he should at least tell Yuriko he picked up her gift, eyeing the plastic bag in his hand as he did. When he went to the shop, which turned out to be an anime store, which raised an eyebrow from him since the older woman would have to have gone into the store to purchase the item, maybe one of her employees bought in her stay. Anyways after he asked the employee about picking up the order and handed him the receipt. The man inspected the piece of paper before giving him a once over before reaching underneath the counter and pulled out a brown package, and slide it towards him with a sly grin.

"Thank you for the purchase! And I hope you enjoy the game, trust me it's really good." the employee had said to him with a thumbs up and a large grin on his face.

"Naruto-kun!" hearing his name Naruto looked up from his phone to see Rei coming towards him with a smile on her face. "I thought you were going to text me before you got here?" As she said this the two caught the attention of Takashi and Hisashi.

"Hey, does Miyamoto-san know that guy?" Hisashi asked Takashi as he narrowed his eyes, slowly sipping his water as he did. At the moment they decided to eavesdrop on them from their table.

"Hey Rei, I was already coming over in this area and thought it would surprise you," Naruto explained as the girl sighed.

"Wish you just texted me." Rei sighed before looking where to sit her friend. There was a spot by the window that would be good. "Whatever, you're here now so what do you think?'

Naruto looked confused at her question was she talking about the café? Or her maid outfit? Deciding the safer bet was the café.

"Personally, I didn't know what to expect since I never really been to or know anything about maid cafes. Seeing it now it just feels like it's an old café or coffee store if you count the fact that the waitresses are maids."

"Yeah, I don't blame you for thinking that. The place is a lot laxer compared to other maid cafes, I wouldn't have taken the job if it wasn't." Rei commented as she sat Naruto at a corner table, she handed him a menu. "Although, Otou-san would probably think differently about it."

"Really? Why should he care, you're not breaking any rules by getting a job?" Naruto commented as he scanned the menu, he was getting kind of hungry at the moment but he was having trouble deciding on the omelet rice or a turkey sandwich with chips.

"You know how a father can be, they can be rather strict at times." Naruto flinched slightly as he was reminded about his deceased father. Just then, the door to café opened again. "But Otou-san can be rather old fashion; he thinks that maid café is like a hostess club or something. So, I am hoping that he wouldn't find out, so what would you like?"

"I would like to know why my daughter is dress like some harlot." Rei froze up as she turned around with the look of dread on her face as she muttered.

"O-Otou-san…." Naruto looked up from his menu, to see a rather large male with dark brown hair and with light brown eyes, his face had a few wrinkle signs of age and stress and giving that he was wearing police uniform it was easy to see why. "What are you doing here?"

"I was going to eat lunch with one of my subordinates but imagine my surprised as I was walking by to find my only daughter working in an establishment like this." Rei's father said, crossing his arms across his chest with a stern look on his face. By now, everyone, as well as the other customers and employee turned to look at the commotion that was being caused by the father-daughter duo.

"Is something wrong sir?" A young-looking woman dressed in a blue maid outfit walked out from the back and confronted the police officer.

"Yes, I was wondering why my underage daughter was working in a place like this!?" He asked the woman who tried to glare at him but just ended up looking like she was pouting. "Who was the one that hired?"

"I did!" the woman replied as the man glared at her as he turned his body to 'talk' to her. As the two-fought Rei had her face in her hands as she was overcome by a bunch of emotions ranging from anger at her father, embarrassment at the situations and shame at the fact she was the one who technically caused this. Naruto looked at Rei for a moment as he saw tear threatening to fall from the corner of her eyes, he should help her out, after all, that's what friends do right?

"Miyamoto-san…" Naruto called out drawing the attention to the father and daughter, Rei looked confused at him.

"…Uzumaki-san?" Rei's father said with wide eyes as he recognized the blond that was seating at the table. "What are you doing here?"

"Getting lunch for starters. Would you like to sit down?" Naruto offered the man the open seat on the other side of the table, he kept calm as decided to accept the offer. Rei mouth was gap opened at the sudden turn of events. "Rei, can you get me omelet rice and a cola. Do you want anything, sir?"

"…Coffee…black." He said as he kept his eyes on the blond, Rei was hesitant but a nod from Naruto reassured her, she left with the owner as she comforts her about what happened. Eventually, everyone went back to their own business, except for the two male a couple of tables down. "It's been a while Uzumaki-san. I never expect to have run into you in a place like this."

"I agree…so how have you been Miyamoto-san."

"I'm not in the mood for this Naruto." The police officer said bluntly, he had many things that he wanted to know and did not want to play any games.

"Neither am I Tadashi." Rei's father scowled at the fact the younger male use of his first name. "All I wanted was to eat lunch…I know you have a lot of questions so how about we just get to it." Naruto said as he leaned back in his seat.

"…Fine, the first thing is…how do you know my daughter." Tadashi took a moment before asking the one thing he wanted to know other than the reason why his daughter decided to work here of all places. Matter of fact, why did she even need a job?

"I didn't know she was your daughter…" Naruto commented truthfully, now that he thought about it, it was rather stupid of him not to realize that fact they both had the same last name but to be fair they looked nothing alike. "But to answer your question we are both in the same class at Fujimi."

"You're going to Fujimi? I don't know if I should be surprised or impressed that you managed to get in, even if the rumors are something troubling…" Tadashi said as he noticed his daughter peeking her head out from the back trying to see what they were doing. He made no move to show Rei that he knew that she was watching.
"Still I have to ask why are you here?"

"I came here to eat," Naruto commented as he wondered how long he will have to wait to eat.

"No offense Uzumaki-san, I like to think I'm a good judge of character and you're not the type of person to visit this type of establishment. So that makes me think about why come here. There are a lot of places to eat around her even some that are far better in terms of food. " Tadashi narrowed his eyes as he clamped his hands together in front of him as he leaned forward. "Let ask you, what is your relationship with my daughter."

Naruto stayed quiet as he looked over to the side to see the owner coming out from the kitchen with his food. The owner gave him a smile as she placed the food and drink in front of him before scowling at Tadashi as she gave him his coffee. The blond didn't make a move to grab his lunch, as he focused on the man.
"We're friends…although our friendship is only a week old. It was your daughter who kept trying to spend time with me, which was something I personally questioned." He commented as he lifted his drink taking a sip as Tadashi glared at him for the small insult to his daughter. "And to your question from earlier, Rei was the one who asked if I could come. I wouldn't have come either way."

"I guess…that puts some of my concerns to rest…"Tadashi said as he grabbed his coffee while Naruto took this time to grab his utensils. "Still I never expected to see you again…"

Naruto paused as his knife stopped just over the omelet, before continuing. Tadashi expressions soften when he noticed the small pause. "Now that I think about it… it would have been a year since the incident."

"It will…next week" was all the blond said as he focused on the meal.

"Uzumaki-san…Do you still think about it?" Tadashi asked with a hint in concern in his voice, to that Naruto was grateful for.

"I try not to sir…" there was a moment of silence as Tadashi watched the blond for a second, before sighing.

"I understand…what happened was a freak accident that-"

"I know…Tadashi" Naruto said with a straight face, as he places a piece of egg in his mouth. Tadashi feeling that he might be pushing his luck with the blond, instead, he just decided to finish his coffee, after all, he still had to get back to work.
"…Tadashi-san, can I ask you something?" Naruto commented Rei's father looked up at him with a cocked eyebrow. "What are you going to do about Rei?"

Oh, yeah…the man had forgotten the original reason why he came into this place. His eyes glanced over to where he knew where his daughter was hiding, who still poking her head out from the kitchen. "Can I ask if you can allow Rei to keep working here?" The moment the word left his mouth Tadashi glared at him.

"Why should I allow Rei to keep working here?" The officer asked crossing his arms.

"For one it's not against the rules, I check it for her." That made Tadashi question their relationship again among some other things but kept quiet as he listened. "And two, it's just a job as a waitress."

"Yes, a job as a maid at a maid café." The man replied.

"A café that does not even look or feel like a maid café. " Naruto exclaimed, rubbing his hand over his face. "Tadashi-san…I get it. You don't want Rei getting involved in this type of thing; the people here don't really help…"

The two then glanced around at the large male customer base, the majority had goofy looking grins on their faces as they watch the variety of 'maids' working.
"You might not like my opinion, but here's the thing it's still Rei's choice. She was the one who decided to work here and nobody is forcing her. You should be glad she is willing to get a job at her age, not many adults in Japan are willing." Naruto stated as he was reminded of the increasing number of shut-ins in Japan. He couldn't tell if he was making any headway on allowing his daughter to her job. The girl's father was rather headstrong, then again so was he. The two stared at each other for what seemed like forever, before Tadashi loudly exhaled.

"Are you really willing to argue with me over something this small?"

"Yes, even if Rei and I have only been official friends for a couple of days. It's something I still value and I will help her in any way I can." Naruto spoke with a harden stare to so how serious he was. The man looked at him for a bit longer before relenting.

"Alright, I'll make you a deal, I won't guarantee anything. However, at least for now I will allow Rei to continue working here until the end of summer." Tadashi closed his eyes as he paused in thought, the teen thought it was fair for the time being. "In return, all I ask of you is to keep an eye on my daughter for me."

The blond was surprised as he was not expecting him to say something like this. Nonetheless, he nodded his head, he was going to do that anyways there was no point in asking. Therefore, it was a win-win for the three of them. Tadashi seemed pleased by his answer as he nodded in gratitude before looking at his wristwatch.

"As much as I would like to continue talking, I do have to get back to work." Tadashi stood up from his seat before giving Naruto a 1000-yen bill. (1) The blond looked at it in confusion, seeing this he decided to explain. "I interrupted your meal; I might as well help pay for it. Think of it as an apology for earlier actually make it 2000. I rather not piss off the owner again."

Handing over another 1000 bill to Naruto, Tadashi put his wallet away as he looked at Naruto again. "Hopefully next time we meet it would be a little more pleasant. Have good day Naruto-san" and with that, he turned around and began walking off.

"It's good to see you too Takashi-kun." The boy in question flinched as his crushes father walked past him finding out that he was also here. When the officer was out of the building Rei immediately left her hiding spot and approached Naruto asking him a bunch of question about what happened. Meanwhile from a few tables over Hisashi looked at his friend.
"Maybe you should take my advice to heart?" Hisashi said as Takashi glanced at the floor as he clenched his hands, not wanting to think about how close the blond might end up being his love rival.


(About 20 minutes later)

Saeko had always loathed a certain time of the week, she knew the moment summer vacation started her father would force her to do something she hated above all else. Spending time with her birth mother, so when she woke up this morning her father had told her that her mother was on her way to pick her up to spend the day with her. Saeko wanted to refuse but her father put his foot down and basically ordered her to go. So here, she was in Tokonosu city at a rather decent dinner looking dinner with her mother plus one as per usual with her.

"Saeko-chan, is something wrong?" Hearing her name Saeko's head jolted up a bit as kept a stoic look on her face as she looked at the person talking to her.

"No, I'm fine…Okaa-sama…" Saeko had to force herself to say the last part as she forced a smile on her face as she talked to her mother. She was currently wearing a black short-sleeved blouse and a pair of grey jeans.

"Oh, good. Now, where was I…?" Saeko's mother places her finger on her chin in thought as she tried to remember what she was talking about a moment ago. Her mother was a woman with shoulder-length purple hair that was a shade darker than her own. She was 5'4' tall, rather large breast and had a pair of rectangle shaped glasses on her face. The woman was wearing a white sleeveless button up with a red mini skirt.

Saeko hated to admit it but she looked like a younger version of her mother. Despite what she looked like, the woman didn't look or act her age, despite the fact she was 39 years old and she looked like she was in her early 20's and had three failed marriages all of them for the same reason. Her mother had a nasty habit of sleeping around with the different type of men, her father was actually the reason her mother had failed her first marriage. Soon history had repeated itself as after that when her parents got married, she ended up cheating on him with a bunch of other people when he wasn't around and ended giving birth to her soon afterward.

Her father didn't find out until Saeko was around 7 years old and came home to see that in the middle of their living room, a few foreigners running a train on his wife. He didn't take kindly to that, Saeko had overheard their argument that day and found out the reason why her mother cheated, cause why not? The next day her father had filed for divorce and in the news, the next day police were looking for a couple of people that were traveling in the area that went missing. It did not take much to figure out her father had something to do with that.

During the divorce, her father ended up gaining full custody of her, with her mother only allowed to visit when he approved it, which wasn't often. She was always grateful for that, but even before the divorce, Saeko had always had a strained relationship with her mother, even more so than her father. Still, a part of her always wondered if her father was really her father.

"You were talking about going to that new store downtown, saying you wanted to buy Saeko-chan something." The...rough looking male sitting next to her mother said as he had his arm wrapped around her causing the older woman hit her palm with her fist.

"Oh yeah, thank you Sei-kun!~" Her mother cooed as she kissed the man on the lips, as he moved his left hand to her breast and the other hand on her thigh and began rubbing it in public. Saeko and a number of patrons around looked at them in disgust with a few people looking at them with arousal. As the two were busy, the girl decided to take in the man's features. The man was definitely older than her but was young still under 30, he had a lot of muscle from either working out or from his job. He had a shaved head with lightly tanned skin, the man tried to carry himself as a dangerous person if the tank top and torn pair of jeans were concerned. No offense to him but he didn't seem to be her mother's type, who were younger male and well dressed. She will give this relationship 12 more hours before her mother gets bored and finds another boy toy.

"You really are a great kisser Naomi-chan." The man said as he glanced over Saeko with a glint in his eyes. She decided to ignore it as she played with her drink's straw. Thankfully, they stopped but the man didn't remove his hands from her mother's thigh.

"As Sei-kun was saying earlier they just open a new store we should visit, I sure there is a lot of cute and sexy outfits that you will love," Naomi said with a large smile at her daughter, who was glancing at the large clock in the diner. "I'm sure Sei-kun would be able to help he was very helpful the other day when I was looking for underwear."

Saeko mentally groaned as she just listened to her mother going on and on about the other day…and she officially tunes out of the conversation. She slowly reached towards her pocket before stopping herself, no she couldn't. She didn't want her mother wondering about who she was texting and given the fact that the only person on her phone that she knew of was her father. She couldn't find out about Naruto if that was the last thing she could do.

"Saeko-Chan are you even listening!" Naomi pouted as Saeko was forced to once again listen to her mother.

"Naomi-chan, I'm sure Saeko is just tired," Sei said as Naomi gave him a light-hearted glare, Saeko sighed as she decided she needed some space.

"Where are you going?" Naomi asked her daughter who stood up from her seat, Sei looked towards her as well with rather a familiar look in his eye.

"The bathroom I'll be right back." Saeko mutter halfheartedly, she will be back…. maybe. Saeko was quick in her movement and made her way out of sight towards the bathroom. Taking out her phone and decided to text Naruto, she really needed a distraction right now. After sending the text, Saeko enters the bathroom and walked towards the sink, leaning against it. She stayed in the bathroom and waited for Naruto to replay to her message. After a few minutes, to her disappointment, no text was received; maybe he was busy or something? Turning the faucet on and throwing some water on her face she contemplated some things about the one she called her mother. Why did her mother have to be so difficult to deal with?

"Naruto-kun what are you doing?" Saeko muttered as she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. Her head shot up to see Sei standing on the other side.

"Sorry for bothering you, but the door was open," Sei said as she stared at him with a flat stare, why couldn't he knock on the door. Sei then leaned against the doorframe as he stared at her. "Naomi-chan was worried about you so I decided to come and check on you."

"Okay, now leave." Saeko returned her attention to her phone as she pretended to text someone.

"You don't have to act like that, I'm can tell your mother and you have a rough relationship." Understatement right there, "Are you going to stay in here all day wouldn't it be better to just-"

"Aren't you going to leave", Saeko said as now was glaring at the man, she was starting to get really irritated.

"Now Saeko-chan, you really don't have to act this way, after all, I'm dating your mother now," her stare hardens at his use of her given name. The man then proceeds to go inside the bathroom locking the door behind him, "You know despite the fact your only 16 you are a really attractive, you really are your mother's child."

He then took a step forward; Saeko did not react much except for placing her hand in her pocket. "Despite the age difference you two can be considered sisters." The man walked forwards again until he was invading the purple haired girl's space and grabbing a strand of her hair. "I do wonder how much similar you two really are…" Sei hand moved to grab Saeko when he felt a sharp pain in his left leg. He looked down when he left something warm drip down the side of his pant. His eyes widen when he saw a fork had pierced his thigh with Saeko hand wrapped in a napkin, holding the handle. Before he could scream, Saeko places her other hand over his mouth as she forced the fork deeper. The man stared at the girl like a deer in headlights as he soon began hyperventilating.

"You're lucky it was only a fork; I was considering bringing the knife instead." Saeko whispered, "Do you really think you were being subtle about what you wanted? You have been looking at me since we meet this morning, did you think I was going to be an easy lay just because my slut of a mother is? You wouldn't be the first to try something. Although, most would have waited until nighttime before trying something."

"Let me give you some advice, you should probably get tested I would be surprised if you didn't catch something." Saeko removed the fork as she licks her lip, the man collapsed as he stared at her with a tear falling from his face. She walked over to the sink before she cleaned the blood off as much as she can before putting it away. "Also, if you ever come near me again in the future then…well, you-"

As Saeko was threatening the man, her phone began ringing. Pulling out her phone and smiled when she saw the caller id. Her eyes darted towards the man on the ground before she gagged him with some paper towels.

"Hello Naruto-kun…No, I wasn't busy…Yes…Really? You're downtown, me too…No, I can meet you in a few…you want my opinion on a gift? For who?... You have a sister?... Oh, I see, sure I can help you…I'll see you in a few." Saeko personality took a complete one 180 as she started talking with her BFF. Sei stared at her in confusion, where did this girl come from? She closed her phone before she crouched down to look at the man eye level.

"Well, today is your lucky day I have to get going. If you want you can call the police but they will ask about how you got the injury and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like the fact you tried to force yourself on a high schooler. Even if you did, you would find out just how powerful 'Naomi-chan' ex-husband truly is." Saeko stood up before she walks to the door and unlocked it "Oh yeah it's was nice meeting you Sei-san. I hope you last longer than the other guys. You should really get yourself check out." The purple haired girl closed the door behind her and walked back to her mother, but not before tossing the fork near a bunch of dirty dishes. When she got back to her seat, she wasn't surprised when she saw her mother was flirting with two guys that where sitting nearby. She took a deep breath as she walked towards her mother.

'"I'm sorry Okaa-san but something came up so I have to go." Saeko didn't even bother staying a second longer as she made her way towards the door ignoring her mother indigent cry telling her to wait up. The teen clicks her tongue as she knew her mother was already catching up; she weaved her way through the diner to the entrance and then to the streets of Tokonosu city.

"Saeko-Chan, wait up!" Why can't she take a hint? Saeko was able to react quickly as she took off in a random direction; she still had some time before her meeting up with Naruto so the best thing to do was to try to shake her mother off. Taking random turns every few blocks and crossing the streets when the light changed but despite her efforts, Naomi was still on her trail. Soon Saeko made a random turn down another street only to bump into someone. Apologizing to the person, she bowed lightly, taking a step forward when she heard them talk.

"Saeko? What are you doing?" She lifted her head to see that the person she had bumped into was Naruto.

"Naruto-kun?" Saeko muttered as she just stared at him in shock. Naomi quickly rounded the corner, she looked around to see her daughter had stopped. Walking up to her she began questioning her daughter about what she had done.

"Saeko-chan, why did you take off like that?" Naomi asked when she noticed that her daughter was in the arms of a rather handsome young man. Her eye began to wonder when she noticed his rather tone body and blond spiky hair. She mentally wondered what was their relationship. Saeko head turned sharply towards her mother as her eyes widen when she saw the way her mother was looking at him.

"Saeko, do you know her? Who is she?" Naruto asked as he felt he was missing something important.

"Where are my manners, you can just call me Naomi, I'm Saeko's mother and it's a pleasure to meet you." Naomi gave him a large grin as she bowed trying to draw attention to her large breast. Saeko hated the way her mother was acting. While the blond wasn't sure how to feel about the fact of casually being asked to call his friends mom by her first name after just meeting her. Seeing as she was Saeko's mother he should, at the very least be polite, he gave a soft bow in return.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki…" Naomi gave him a small smile as she found out the boy's name.

"I'm sorry for running off Okaa-sama, but the two of us need to get going, so…good-bye" Saeko poorly excuses herself as she grabbed Naruto's wrist and began dragging him away before her mother could try and weasel her way into coming with them. As the two walked away, a small smirk formed on Naomi's face as her eye fell towards the blonde's retreating form.

"~Saeko-chan~ you should really be ashamed…hiding someone like him from Okaa-sama. After all," Naomi licked her lips slowly, "you know my type. ~" The older woman turned around and began walking off humming a random tone.

Saeko didn't show it but she was pissed off, not only about the whole situation but most of all herself. She had failed in her mission and ended doing what she wanted to avoid happening and now her mother knew about Naruto. Her thoughts raced through her mind as she thought about what could happen next. The first thing was something she didn't want to think about, the other was her mother telling her father. OH GOD, what if her father found out about Naruto. No, she couldn't think about that. She needed to get away, after all, she was still dragging the blond behind her. After a good 5 minutes of running, she was sure that they were far enough away from that woman. Breathing a sigh of relief when she was certain she was gone she began leaning against one of the store building trying to catch her breath.

The blond, however, was staring at her with a concerned look as he was unsure what to say. What can you say after being dragged around the city by your arm after meeting someone's mom? Naruto noticed that she was holding his hand, he let out a fake cough as he saw her straighten up as she remembers that he was still there. Her eyes fell toward their joint hands before widening and letting go of him.
"…Sorry…" Saeko muttered as she bowed her head, Naruto muttered that it was okay that wasn't what he was concerned about. The two fell into an awkward silence, as they watched the people walking by going about their business. "So, did you eat?" Naruto asked as the purple haired girl nodded her head.

"Yeah was just at dinner before you called," Saeko said as she turned to look at Naruto. "I was really surprised that you called me all of a sudden normally you would have texted me." Naruto shrugged, as he didn't really have a reason to call her other than to hear her voice, it felt strange to not hear her voice after so long.

"You need my help buying a gift for your little 'sister'?" Saeko asked as she added air quotes to the word sister.

"Yea, I have to buy her gift since today is her birthday, the thing is I don't know what to get her so I decided to ask you," Naruto explained to her the situation, as she couldn't help but grin.

"You do know I'm not really what some people would call a normal girl right? I probably would not really be of any help in that regard." Saeko said as she silently enjoyed the dejected look on Naruto's face. "However, if you still want my help then I don't mind assisting you."

"Thanks, let's start looking then." Naruto thanked her before grabbing Saeko's hand, whom eyes widen, as he began leading her towards a random clothing store. She was quick to recover as she began to match his pace. Glancing at their hands as she smiled lightly at how much she enjoyed to small gesture.

"Where is that boy? He still hasn't come back yet?" Kushina muttered as she glanced at her phone, for the past two hours she had been staring at her phone every 5 minutes or so waiting for at the very least a text from her son. She scowled, as she wanted to kill her son for running off all of a sudden when they still needed to buy his suit. The trio of females had just finished eating at the food court in the mall, much to Yuriko's delight, as she didn't often eat this kind of food. And right now, they were back in another clothing store trying to find a dress that Saya liked and she was being rather picky in her choice. Not that she blamed her, it was her birthday party and she wanted her surrogate daughter to look gorgeous tonight.

"Kushina-chan, stop worrying so much he's probably fine," Yuriko said as she was looking through the clothing rack, rummaging through clothing to find a dress to bring for Saya, who was waiting in the dressing room.

"Probably…" Kushina muttered as she glared at her phone, given her son's pension for trouble it was likely that something happened to get him involved.

"You know that he's picking my present for Saya-chan, he probably got stuck in traffic." Yuriko tried to rationalize her friends worry as she continued to glare at her phone.

"At this time? Not likely, it doesn't take over two hours to get to downtown!" Kushina exclaimed as she began pacing back and forth in between the clothing racks. Yuriko rolled her eyes as she pulled a small yellow dress holding it up in front of her for a moment before putting it back. She clicks her tongue as she was beginning to think that this store was a bust as well. The past dozen stores didn't have any dress that Saya liked or she would look good in. Her daughter had preferred clothing of a more…higher quality, it was probably her fault since she also likes those kinds of clothing as well and that fact, she had enough to afford them didn't help either. She really wished that they were informed ahead of time, instead of this being sprung on them at the last minute.

"Enough with the phone and help me! we only have a few more hours before the party and we still need to go to the salon and get ready afterward. SO, turn off the phone." Yuriko was starting to get annoyed by her friend's behavior, "So tone down your Jocasta complex for a minute."

"Jocasta?" Kushina muttered as she blinked in confusion, what the fuck was that?

"If you want to talk about something then do you know what you're going to wear? I have not seen anything that I would like truthfully, maybe I will get lucky and find one later. I might have to end up wearing one of the ones back home."

"I saw one a couple of stores back that I thought was nice but I'm going to wait until Saya-chan picks out hers." Kushina said as she crossed her arms as she began looking at the dress with Yuriko when something popped in her mind, "Does Saya-chan have the proper underwear for a dress?"

Yuriko paused as she began to think about the question, her daughter never really wore dresses mostly preferring frilly clothing with long skirts. Now that she thinks about it, what kind of underwear did her daughter owned and wore? She highly doubts that the girl would wear a thong at her age. "I have no idea…Looks like we might have to go to the lingerie store as well…"

Kushina sighed, as she knew the number of things that needed to be done had just increased, well, she now had an excuse to buy a bunch of new underwear. Then she felt like crying at her wallet taking another hit major hit today. After a good ten minutes of looking at the clothes in the store, the single mother decided to comment, "I don't think this store is going to have anything Saya will like."

"I was thinking the same thing, I'll go get Saya and see if she is done trying out the ones she already has." Yuriko then walked off with Kushina soon sighing. Stretching her back to get the kinks she sighed again, who knew shopping can be exhausting. "This is going to be a long day…I'll wait outside for them."

Kushina left the store and began to slouch over the guardrail of the second floor of the mall where the store was located. Is it wrong that all she wanted to do was go home, man, when was the last time she went to the mall? It was probably last month for her birthday and ended up spending all day with her son. They ate breakfast with the Takagi, went shopping, saw a movie and ended up eating at a nice dinner before falling asleep together, best birthday ever.

Thinking about her son Kushina pulled her phone out and frowned when she saw no notification. What was that boy doing? Just then there was a flash of yellow out of the corner of her eye, she turned her head to see just a few feet away below her. She smiled as she opened her mouth to call out to him when she saw him talking to someone, more importantly, a girl.

The redhead couldn't see who or what the girl looked like, but she could see that the girl had long dark purple hair. She squinted as she leaned in their direction and almost fell over the guardrail. Unable to get a proper look from the second floor Kushina quickly ran to the nearest set of stairs to get a closer look. Pushing and maneuvering around people who were looking at her like, she was crazy. When she was close enough Kushina crouched down behind a potted plant to listen in on her son and the girl he was with.

"Tou-san what is that woman doing?" a young pink headed girl asked her father who just kept his eyes forward as he held his daughter's hand.

"Just keep moving Alice, your mother is waiting for us." Her father said as Alice glanced back at the weird woman near the plant. Kushina inhaled trying to calm her temper before focusing her attention to the duo in front of her.

"…thanks again for helping me out." Her son said as she still wasn't able to get a good view of the girl from her angle but she didn't want to risk being seen by them. "You didn't have to come with me to the mall."

"It's fine I'm just glad that we could hang out for a bit before you go away. When do you leave?" the girl asked and judging by her tone of voice she was rather upset about the fact he was leaving. Just what was their relationship?

"We leave tomorrow night…" Naruto said scratching his neck, "We can hang out tomorrow." Kushina narrowed her eyes as she waited for the girl's responds.

"I can't...Otou-san wants me to stay home tomorrow for some…meeting" the girl paused in her speech made the older woman suspicious was about the way she talking about her father, maybe a strained relationship perhaps?

"Okay, so I guess this is a goodbye for now…" Naruto said as they stayed still for a moment before Kushina was surprised by the girl wrapping her arms around him, in a hug even more surprising was the fact that her son hugged her back. She felt something stir in the pit of her stomach as she watched the two whisperings to each other, of what she was unsure. Soon the two broke apart and the girl began walking away as she waved goodbye. Feeling now was a good time to walk up to him, she left her hiding spot and tapped him on the shoulder causing him to turn.

"Kaa-san?" Naruto asked he wasn't expecting her to appear all of a sudden, "What are you doing here?" Kushina had a strained smile on her face as her eyebrow twitched slightly.

"Oh, what I'm I doing here? Well, WE were supposed to be shopping for tonight!" Kushina shouted grabbing her son by his collar and began shaking him in anger, she didn't care about who was watching. She didn't know why she was angry but she wasn't thinking clearly so who cares. While they were busy Yuriko and Saya had left the store they were in and saw the commotion coming from the floor below, seeing the mother-son duo the two sighed before going down below to break it up.
It took a while to calm Kushina down enough for her to release her hold on the teen, the four of them found themselves back at the food court sitting at an empty table as Kushina ended up pouting with her arm crossed afterward. Saya looked over at Naruto and asked, "What the hell did you do to piss her off?"

"He knows what he did," Kushina stated resuming her tantrum, Naruto sighed. The ever palm meeting face commenced as he had no clue why she was mad.

"She's probably still upset about him running off to do me a favor, right?" Yuriko looked to her friend who glanced at her for a second before looking away.

"Maybe…Kind of…" the redhead took the excuse given to her not wanting the real reason to be known.

"What favor?" Saya asked as she noted the bag that was sitting next to Naruto, she tried to peek inside before the bag was moved away from her.

"It's none of your concern Saya-chan," Yuriko said as she was glad Naruto was able to pick up the gift with no problem. "Although I have to ask what took you so long for you to get back? It doesn't normally take long to go downtown."

Naruto didn't say anything only darting his eyes towards Saya sending a silent message to her mother who immediately got what he was saying.

"Oh, I understand." Saya looked at her mother with a confused expression before shrugging her shoulder as she lost interest in what was happening.

"Did Saya managed to find anything to wear." Naruto wanted to know if they had finished, causing them to sigh.

"No, Saya didn't like any of the dresses from the stores we visited," Kushina answered, placing her chin on the table with a dejected look on her face. "I haven't even found one that I liked, maybe we should go downtown instead."

"I think that's a good Idea, still I'm pretty sure Saya didn't want to choose a dress without a certain someone to see her wear it," Yuriko said with a sly grin enjoying her daughter blushing from her remark and didn't deny it either. "Maybe we should get going, we don't really have time left. First, we should go to the lingerie store so Saya-chan, I have to ask about your underwear."

"OKAA-san!" Saya exclaimed as her face redden even more by her mother suddenly asking about her underwear.

"No, Saya-chan this is important do you have the proper underwear to wear for dresses? You don't want to show any panty lines while at your party." Yuriko explained to her daughter, who groaned as she tried to curl up into a ball. Feeling bad for her Naruto rubbed the girls back as she tried to ignore the twinkle in Yuriko's eyes. His face flushed a little when she began touching his leg with her foot. He gulped as he did not know what to expect from the trip to the lingerie store but he knew it would be something memorable…and it was.

After a rather…a unique trip to the lingerie store that will forever be ingrained into Naruto's memory, the rest of the day was a blur after that, he did remember some key details. The three ended up buying a couple of stuff while Yuriko decided to tease him by whispering in his ear that she bought a few pieces just for them and that she would send him some pictures later. He couldn't tell if she was telling the truth but he recalled her holding on to a leopard printed bra and thong when she went to pay for her stuff.


(Later on, in the day.)

Now, after that, the next thing he remembered was getting into the car with everybody and going into Toksuno city. It took some time but all the ladies managed to find a dress for tonight and he managed to get a suit, too.

Now, Naruto found himself back home in his room looking at his reflection, it wasn't often he wore a suit, the last time he had to wear one was last Christmas when he went to Yuriko's charity event. The suit he had wasn't wearable, thanks to what happened after the events. The suit itself was a black evening suit, black pants, black dressed shoes, with a white button shirt underneath. Glancing to his bed that had an orange tie laying on it, he was glad that his mother found it earlier since it was his favorite color. He tried putting on his tie and frowned when he failed to properly get it right.

After trying for the next five minutes he gave up and left his room and made his way down the hall with the tie in hand before knocking on his mother's bedroom door. "Come in Naruto!" Kushina called out from inside, he turned the knob and entered the room to see her standing in front of her wardrobe mirror holding her dress up with her hands as it was still undone leaving Naruto to see her black strapless bra which popped up against her creamy skin.

"Honey, can you zip me up?" Shaking his head from his previous thought he walked up to her grabbing the zipper and pulled up to the top. She gave herself a once over in the mirror before nodding her with a large smile before turning to her son. "So... how do I look.

With no hesitation on his part, he said, "You look beautiful."

It seemed to have done the trick as the redhead blushed bashfully at the compliment. "Really? You don't think this is too much for a simple birthday party?" Kushina asked as she spun in place showing off her dress. The dress was low cut and strapless showing off her large breast with the left side of the dress being orange and the right side black. It was ankle length with thigh slit with the material being slightly transparent towards the bottom. She had a pair of black strapped heeled sandal; her hair was tied into a tight bun and had applied some light make up to her face. Naruto felt his heart beat faster as he saw her lean forward showing him a good look down her dress, he couldn't help but think she was going braless to the party.

"Absolutely… you look great Kaa-san. I think the other people at the party will be jealous." Naruto finally said as she smiled placing her hands on her hips.

"That's too bad for them because the only person that I care about is right here," Kushina said as she gave him a small squeeze when she saw him holding his tie in his hand. "Are you having trouble putting it on?"

"Yeah, can you help me?" he asked as Kushina grabbed his tie and began putting it on properly for him, with nice tug she took a step back as she nodded in approval. She grabbed something from on top of the wardrobe handed it to him and tired around.
"Can you return the favor?" He stared at it, to see it was a simple golden necklace, he smiled before he brought the jewelry over her head and placed it around her neck.

"I'm happy to see you wear this tonight." The blond commented as his mother smiled happily.

"Of course, I would! It was a special gift from my special man," Kushina stated as lightly touched the necklace, even if wasn't the flashiest piece of jewelry but it meant a lot to her since it was a gift from her son for her birthday last month. From behind her Naruto nostril flared when he ended up smelling the scent of her perfume that she had sprayed on her neck.

"You smell good…" Naruto commented causing his mother blushed as she leaned back into him a bit, he felt reluctant to close the latch on the necklace as he ended up enjoying their positions. Shaking his head from the thought he closed the latch and took a step back as he looked at his mother, she really was beautiful.

"I think we are ready to get going," Naruto said as he patted pants to make that he had everything he needed, his wallet was in his back pocket and he had his phone with him as well just in case.

"Not yet I still need to get my purse, you can wait for me in the car," Kushina exclaimed as she quickly went into her closet and started looking through her stuff for a purse that would match her dress. Naruto rolled his eyes but felt it would probably best to follow her advice.

As he was walking down the stairs, he heard his phone's ring tone, took it out and answered. "Hi handsome what are you wearing?"

"Okaa-san?" Naruto exclaimed as his eyes darted towards his mother's room to see that she hadn't heard him, he began to pick up his pace making it out of the house and into his mother's car.

"Aren't you going to answer my question?" Yuriko asked as soon as he places his phone back into his ear.

"Why are you calling me all a sudden?" Naruto questioned his lover, as she giggled from the other end.

"I just wanted to talk to you for a moment because I highly doubt that we will have a chance to talk when you get here, the party is already started by the way." She said as the blond sighed, before glancing towards his house.

"I'm sorry, Kaa-san is just getting something from the house we will get there as soon as possible." He said as he leaned against the passenger seat, "So, how is everything going over there."

"You know how these things can get until one of the dirty older men starts getting a little too handsy with a person he is not married to after having a little too much drink, up until then it's pretty dull." Yuriko offered her piece as she paused for a second, "Naruto-kun…I need to tell you something-"

"Sorry Okaa-san, Kaa-san is coming I got to go," Naruto said as soon as he saw his mother exiting the house and quickly hanged, mentally apologizing to Yuriko when she was in the middle of her sentence, promising to talk to her at the party.
"Found it," Kushina exclaimed as she entered the car, as she saw Naruto with his phone out. "Who were you talking to?"

"No one mostly just texting." Naruto lied about what happened, his phone vibrated as he then got a text from Yuriko saying 'you're lucky you're cute and you owe me ;)'

Kushina started his phone with suspicion, as her thoughts went to the girl at the mall that she saw with him, was the text with her? She frowned before starting up the car, putting it in reverse and took off to the party.

"Why was there so much traffic!" The redhead exclaimed as she finally got out of the now parked car. The ride to the estate took longer than either of them expected as it took over 30 minutes to get there, due to an accident that had caused a small traffic jam, luckily, they were able to get around it and make it.

"Forget it, Kaa-san let's just get inside. Saya is probably already upset with us," Naruto said walking around the car to the driver side offering his arm to his mother, which she took with a smile and walked to the entrance. While they were walking the two noted that there were a lot of black cars with tinted windows, the male ignored it while Kushina couldn't help but comment on it.

"I should have expected Souichiro to bring his work with him…" Kushina muttered to herself, Naruto looked at her in confusion, as they walked up to the stairs when the main door to the estate opened as Yuriko stepped out to greet them with a look of relief.

"About time you two made it, we were getting worried." The Takagi matron then gave them each a hug and lingered when she was with Naruto. The blond jumped when the woman hands fell on his ass, she gave him a playful grin when they separated.

As Yuriko turned to face his mother, he took the time to look at her. Her long purple hair was tied into a high ponytail with two curly stains of hair framing her face, she didn't really have much makeup on with the only thing being her red lipstick. She had a thin dark purple backless dress with the strap wrapped around her neck, which hugged her large chest while showing off her shoulders and smooth skin. The dress was rather long and had reached her ankle and that with the matching heels she was wearing. It had a slit on the left side of the dress with it going to her upper thigh. He looked at her and he couldn't help but wonder why she never became a model; she definitely had the looks to be a success. As if she was able to hear his thought, the woman gave him a wink and small smile.

"Sorry, there was an accident…How is the birthday girl doing?" Kushina asked as Yuriko smile fell for a moment but held in place.

"Well, …as well as you expect with something like this." She said with a vague tone as she eyed her best friends dress. "But I have to say I really love your dress Kushina, I all most want to ask if you're willing to switch."

And like that Kushina was successfully distracted with her and the two began gushing over each other's dresses, leaving the solo male to the side. He glanced around the estate and noticed that there was a rather large amount of what looked to be security guards, as he eyed a nearby man with a black suit and had something in his ear. From his spot, he could see at the very least about 10 men walking the Takagi's courtyard. Why was there so much security for a 15 year's old girls birthday party?

"I think I took enough of your time you two go inside," Yuriko exclaimed as her friend looked at her with her eyebrow raised.

"You're not coming in with us?" Kushina asked as they saw her shake her head no.

"I actually came outside for a reason, so go ahead without me, and if anyone asks where I went just tell them I will be right back." Yuriko then walked down the stairs as she began talking to one of the guys in a suit, who nodded his head and the two walked off. The Uzumaki's stared at them for a moment before Naruto offered his arm to his mother and escorted her inside. When they entered, they were shocked at how many people there were just in the main lobby. As soon as they walked in almost everyone eyed them for a moment before returning their attention back to what they were doing moments before.

'This…is a lot of people for the last-minute party?' Naruto thought, as his mother head was turning every which direction as she tried to find Saya. She frowned when she noticed she wasn't in the area.

"Kushina-san, Naruto-kun." Just then from nearby Souichiro called out to them. As he walked up to them, they saw that for once he was out of his regular uniform, and was now in a tuxedo. It was rather odd to sight to see mostly because of the fact that he looked rather intimidating more so than normal.

"I'm glad to see you have made it safely." The older man said with a grin, as he took a sip of his champagne glass.

"It's good to see you too Souichiro, I haven't seen you in so long how have you been?" Kushina asked as she wondered where she can get a glass of champagne as well.

"It's been a while since we saw each other, unfortunately, the business has been rather slow in Shinjuku. A lot of things keep getting in the way over there that has been rather stressful. I'm looking forward to getting the next couple of days off." Souichiro said as he rubbed his neck as if to show how much he needs a break.

"Souichiro –Oh. sorry for interrupting your talk Souichiro. Good evening, Kushina-san." Tetsutarou said as he paused when he noticed his not so subtle crush with his best friend. Kushina chuckled awkwardly as she should have known that man would be here. The older man sighed seeing Naruto's rather obvious glare he ignored that as he knew why Tetsutarou was here.

"I'm sorry you two but looks like I'm needed right now, I talk to you later. Food and drinks are in the dining area." Souichiro said as he nodded to his friend and the two left through the front doors just like Yuriko did before them.

"What was that about? Whatever I really need a drink." Kushina said as she moved towards the dining area intent on getting something to drink. Naruto quickly followed after her but not before glancing back. As the two walked through the now crowded estate, Naruto began noticing something strange, the age of the guest. All of the men were in their 40's or older, the only people near his age were the females but they were still in their early twenties with only a couple that was older than they were. The redhead seemed to have noticed as well as she moved closer to him as if she was feeling self-conscious about her age. Naruto wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him, she gave him a soft smile as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

When they got to the dining area there was still a decent amount of people there each mingling around talking to each other, some of the guests were talking to one specific person with pink hair. Saya looked up at them and smiled, she quickly excused herself and went up to them.

"Okaa-san!" Saya said as the two hugged drawing the attention of some of the men in the room when they saw the two hugging and their breast pushed against the others. Naruto glared at them, which was enough to deter some of the men other just scoffed and went about their business. Saya then pulled him into a hug, he returned and waited for her to let go of him. That took a good 3 minutes for her to finally release him, taking a step back before giving them a large smile. "I'm so glad you guys came," Saya said as Kushina gave the girl another hug.

"Of course, sweetheart we wouldn't miss this for the world." The woman said as she ended up shaking the girl back and forth. "Oh, you look so beautiful in that dress."

Saya had on a pink dress, of course, that had thin pink straps and held her breast close together that made them look bigger. The top of the dress was made of a shiny material that reflected the light with the bottom of it was frilly that reached her ankles; she was also wearing pink platform shoes.

"How do I look Naruto-kun?" Saya asked as she shuffled in place as she nervously eyed Naruto, who gave her a gentle smile.

"I think you look gorgeous Saya." The pink haired girl felt her face redden as she tried to keep a grin from forming on her face.

"Oh, why don't you two go dance while I get something to drink." Kushina then began shoving the two as they were forced by her to leave. Saya didn't mind as she grabbed Naruto's hand and began pulling him to the dance area, the blond gave his mother a glare and he mouthed 'NO alcohol', causing her to pout. After the bar incident, Naruto had placed a ban on his mother from drinking alcohol, and no one wants to deal with a drunk emotional Kushina on any day.


As the two were off going dancing, outside the estate Souichiro and Tetsutarou had met up with Yuriko, who was waiting outside. The gates to the estate had opened with another black car driving through. The care moved a couple of meters before stopping as a security guard walked to the back door, opening it with a deep bow. The Takagi plus one also bowed as an elder man stepped out from the car. The older man was in dark grey Kimono with red cloth over his shoulder and had on straw sandals. He was balding with the hair on the sides of his head remain he seemed to be in his late 60's with a small hunch in his back and had a wooden cane in his left hand.

"It's been years since I have been here, Hey again Souichiro-kun and Tetsutarou-kun." The elder man addressed the two males.

"Welcome to my home, Hiruto-dono" Souichiro stated as he kept his bow. Hiruto nodded as he motioned for the trio to stand. "I hope your trip here wasn't too much trouble from Shibuya."

"Not at all the plane over here was relatively fine although the traffic was unpleasant from the airport," Hiruto remarked as he looked at the Takagi matron, who was silent throughout the exchange. "It is good to see you too Yuriko-kun." She gave him a forced smile but just bowed as the man began making his way into the estate to enjoy the party. Souichiro glanced at her for a moment before following the elder man.

"Are you okay Yuriko-san?" Tetsutarou asked as he noticed the tense moment when the two talked to one another, he wanted to know what was going on. For the most part, Yuriko just shrugged her shoulders.

"You know how it is with him he is a rather …extreme traditionalist." She said while placing her hand on her cheek, her face didn't betray how she felt. Tetsutarou seeing he wasn't going to get anything out of the woman, ran off to catch up to Souichiro, and hoped he could spend some time with Kushina. When she was sure she was alone Yuriko ran her hands across her face as she knew the rest of the day was going to be an unpleasant affair. Pulling out her phone, she knew just what to do to restore her mood with a few clicks of the button and closed it to return to the party, after all, it wouldn't do for the hostess to run off from the party.

Inside Saya was laying her head on Naruto's chest, content, as the two were slow dancing to the band that was playing in the ballroom. The two had already danced to six songs straight and just started the seventh. The two ignored the stares they were getting as they swayed back and forth, Naruto moved his hand from Saya's waist causing her to move her head in annoyance at the fact he pulled out his phone.

"Do you really have to check your phone now?" Saya asked Naruto stopped as he rolled his eye before he put his hands back to where they were as Saya did the same with her head. She closed her eyes and listened to the beat of his heart.

"I'm surprised Souichiro-san was able to get all this ready in a day," Naruto commented as he eyes the décor of the ballroom.

"Do we really have to talk about this now?" Saya frowned as she was unable to stop herself from commenting.

"I was trying to make small talk." Naruto tried to explain his efforts to talk to her, her frown deepened before turning into a slight snarl.

"Why can't we just enjoy each other's company? Do we really have to talk about this st-"The pink haired girl stopped mid-sentence as she inhaled deeply trying to calm herself, she couldn't cause a scene at her party after all. "I think I need a small break can we get something to drink."

He nodded his head slowly while staring at her curiously; he walked out with her as they passed by the other dancing guests. When they got to the dining area, Saya was quickly stopped by an older man in his 30's who offered her a happy birthday and forced her to a conversation. She gave him a look to go on ahead. Nodding his head, he looked around to see if his mother was still there by the bar. She was not, exhaling loudly as he walked over to one of the estate's employees operating the bar area.

"Hey, Naruto-san would you like something to drink." The man asked as Naruto nodded his head as he looked around again.

"Umm, yes please just some water and something for Saya she will be here soon so have it ready for her as well. You didn't see my Kaa-san here recently?" Naruto asked as the person paused in thought.

"Kushina-san? I believe she left just after you did, she left with a woman a couple of minutes ago." The man said as he handed Naruto a glass of water and went to prepare something for Saya. He muttered thanks as he leaned against the counter and decided to look at his phone, he got a message from Rei that said one thing.

'I'm bored…' Naruto rolled his eyes as he began texting back and forth with her. As he did this, a teen that was younger than him asked the person behind the counter for a cola. The teen sighed as he pulled at the collar of his dress shirt, as he was not used to wearing something like this. He looked at the person next to him and could not help but noticed his blond hair. Strange, this was the second person he had ever seen with blond hair today alone, he wondered if it was natural as his friend Morita also had blond hair but it was very obviously dyed from the dark roots in his hair.

"Can I help you?" Naruto asked as he felt uncomfortable being stared at by the teen next to him. The other teen had the decency to look ashamed.

"Oh sorry, I just couldn't help but look at your hair since it's rather rare." Takashi apologized as he mentally kicks himself for making a bad impression on someone who he just met, but something about the person seemed familiar. Naruto looked at him with a raised eyebrow when he saw the teen go quiet again, was he sick or something? "My name is Takashi Komuro."

"Okay… Nice to meet you Komuro-san. My name's Naruto Uzumaki." The blond stuck his free hand out to shake Takashi's, a quick handshake was enough for Takashi to start talking. Although, he couldn't help but feel like he saw the blond from somewhere before.

"So Uzumaki-san, how were you invited to the party?" Takashi asked as he figured the blond must have had a connection to the Takagi's to get an invitation or he was a date for one of the older women around the place.

"I'm a friend of the family," Naruto stated as he took a sip of his water while ignoring Rei's text as she attempted to relieve her boredom. "What about you?"

"My Mother is good friends with Takagi-san, but I have known her daughter since kindergarten," Takeshi said, scratching his cheek with a chuckle. That caught Naruto's attention, as he didn't expect to hear that he actually knew Saya.

"You know Saya-san?" Naruto asked still shocked, Takashi gave a nervous nod.

"Yea she was a lot easier to deal with back during those times that she is now. Why do you seem so surprised?" Takashi questioned, what was weird about knowing her. Naruto glanced around to see if anyone was around listening in, he glanced to the employee who made himself scarce.

"No offense Komuro-san, but what do you know about the Takagi's?" Naruto asked as he saw the teen shrug.

"Not much to be honest besides the fact they are rich and they are part of an ultra-nationalist group," Takashi stated as the blond nodded his head, the black-haired teen was correct on both accounts.

"True but can you tell me something, haven't you noticed something strange?" Naruto said with a mysterious tone. Takashi felt as if he was out of the loop.

"What do you mean?" He asked and saw the blond sigh.

"Look around and tell me what you see." Following the guy's instructions, he glanced around the room at the men and woman, he groaned when he didn't understand what was being asked of him. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed it."

"N-Not really," Takashi admitted.

"This is supposed to be a birthday party of a fifteen-year-old girl, then where are the other people our age?" Naruto said as he glances at his now empty glass. Takashi eyes widen as he glanced around the room once again and he immediately saw what was mentioned.

"How is that weird? No offense but this event was rather a last minute and probably didn't help that Takagi-san isn't really liked at school either." Takashi said as Naruto paused in place at what was just mentioned to him, he put the information away for later.

"Still, besides Saya, we are the only people under twenty in a party of a bunch of older folks. It is just weird to me." Naruto then grabbed a bottle of wine from over the counter and poured himself a glass, "So Komuro-san I will offer you some advice." Taking a sip of the wine he sighed at the taste before swirling the liquid around in his glass. "Try to keep your head down and try not to cause to much trouble because you are out of your element here. It would be wise if you don't anger anyone especially at this party."

"Thanks…I guess." Takeshi scratched his cheek when the blond began to walk off, he called out to him, "Wait, Uzumaki-san, did we ever meet before? You look familiar."

"Sorry but I don't think so Komuro-san. I hope you enjoy the rest of the party." Naruto stated before trying to sneak off only to be stopped by a random woman who began talking to him.

Takashi just sighed, he suddenly felt self-conscious about being here, he was the only person in the place in just a dress shirt, he wished he took his mother's advice and wore his dad's old suit. But his stupid pride over what his father had done to him and his mother ticked him off enough to not want to touch his old clothes. Maybe he should just leave, but he didn't want to leave his mother by herself in this party not to mention he still needed to talk to Saya about helping him. His eyes darted towards a crowd of people as he saw the pink haired girl looking for someone. Thanking his luck, he took a deep breath and prepared to beg, he approached the girl. "Hey, Takagi-san."


At the same time in the main foyer, Yuriko was on the second floor overlooking everyone who was mingling with one another. So far, the party was going off without any problems, except for a couple of college students that tried to crash the party, they didn't make it past the courtyard before getting kicked out. The woman sighed as she massaged her temples with her fingers, ever since Hiruto had arrived he has been monopolizing Souichiro as they were having a meeting in Souichiro's office on the second floor, with specific orders to allow no one in or within 30 feet. They block anyone entrance to the east wing of the estate, she was glad her office was in the west wing. She brought her phone out as she wondered when her distraction would arrive, she really needed a drink.

"Yuriko-Chan~" Kushina called out to her friend as she was walking up the stairs with a small shake of her hips and with two glasses of red wine in hand. And right behind her was another woman holding a glass of champagne with a yellow single strap dress that reached her knees.

"Kushina I love you right now." Yuriko giggled at her friend's antics.

"You're just saying that because I brought you a drink," Kushina stated with a large grin before she handed the glass to the woman, who took a nice long sip. "And look who I found."

"Yuko-chan it's nice to see you again." Yuriko gave her friend a small hug, who returned it. "Have you heard anything from your husband?" Yuko smiled sadly as she glanced at the ground before shaking her head no.

"No…I haven't heard from him since he left. A part of me hopes to wake up one day to find him sleeping in bed or to find him sitting in the dining room reading the newspaper as he would always do." Yuko said as her finger traced the edge of her glass, Kushina and Yuriko stared at their friend feeling sorry for her.

"Yuko…I think it's finally time to accept that…that he is not coming back." Kushina felt bad for saying it but knew her friend needed to accept facts.

"No, he's probably busy..."

"For the last 10 months? The two of you haven't talked since he asked for a separation." Kushina said causing Yuko to flinch.

"I know we haven't talked but I still think this could work out," Yuko said as she took a sip of her champagne, her mind went to her son Takashi and how he reacted to his father leaving.

"But didn't you find lipstick on one of his work clothes and didn't you say your son saw him with a lady last week." Kushina retorted as she looked at her with narrowed eyes, Yuko visibly flinched. "Yuko, I think it probably best if you just finally end it."

Yuriko was silent as she took another long sip of her wine, as she was unable to comment She could not really nor would she judge anyone because of it. Forcing her thoughts of the rather complicated subject that she knew she would have to address this soon.

"I know…I…know that everything has been tense, between us. I wanted another kid but he said that we shouldn't bother cause of our age and that it would be pointless. He would always say that we shouldn't have sex or what was the point of having sex at our age and that I'm not as attractive as I used to be." Yuko said as Kushina growled, feeling anger at how a man could say that to his wife of almost 18 years.

"Then he started working late, coming home drunk after drinking with his boss. Then he would call us saying he wouldn't come home that day, then it was he would be staying at a hotel near his job for the week. I should have seen it coming…" Yuko downed her drink, with tears in her eyes as she knew that there was no saving her marriage. Kushina reached out to give her a large hug, Yuriko joined in as Yuko tried to contain her tears. "I'm sorry for causing you guys so much trouble."

"It's okay sweetie, it's not your fault that your husband is an asshole." Kushina tried to soothe her friend as she rubbed her back.

"If you want, I know a number of lawyers who can help you file for divorce." Yuriko offered as Yuko nodded her head before Kushina offered her glass of wine. Suddenly feeling the need to sober up for the moment. Takashi's mother smiled before taking a sip. "You know…you could get back at him…"

The two women looked at Yuriko with a look of confusion, "I mean you already decided to divorce him, you could… you know, start playing the field."

"Yuriko!" Kushina exclaimed as she and yuko blushed wildly at was being insinuated by their friend.

"Think about it you know he's been sleeping with another woman who you don't even know and is probably still seeing her even now. So why can't you find somebody as well? Yuko, you are still a gorgeous looking woman so you can still find someone else, who knows you can even meet a man here?"

"Yuriko, I don't think that is a good idea. She just came to terms about her husband, I think it's a little too soon for her to find someone else." Kushina scolded as yuko downed her wine.

"I agree…Yuriko-chan is right my ex-husband has been going around my back for years, so what is wrong with me enjoying myself I'm only…" Yuko stopped, as she didn't want to say her age out loud, straightening her back, "Anyways I think it would be good if I can enjoy myself tonight, who knows I can end up getting married tomorrow like Yuriko." Said woman eye and mouth twitched for a second that was thankfully missed by the rest. "I remember a young man near the dance floor that was eyeing me, I think I will go ask him if he wants a dance." Yuko pumped her hands in anticipation, as she was practically running down the stairs to find the man from earlier.

"I didn't think she had that much to drink," Kushina remarked as was surprised by the normally quiet woman action.

"I don't think dancing is the only thing on her mind," Yuriko remarked as she figured Yuko must have been feeling pent up. "I should make sure the guest rooms are thoroughly cleaned tomorrow. I hope Souichiro locked the bedrooms."

Kushina stuck her tongue out in disgust before she saw the Takagi looking at her as if expecting something. "What?"

"Well, aren't you going to join her to find a partner to…dance with," Yuriko stated with a small wiggle of her eyebrow.

"Not interested…" Kushina said as she knew what her friend was trying to say. She saw the type of men in the party and yeah, thanks but hell no.

"Come on Kushina-chan, you are probably more frustrated than Yuko, a 17-year dry spell can't be good."

"Why are you interested in my sex life all of a sudden? Now that I think about it you have been pushing me to buy sexy underwear at the mall earlier." Kushina said narrowing her eyes at her friend, who just had a knowing grin on her face.
"Considering the rather dull underwear that you normally wear and own, I thought I was doing you a favor by making you buy some," Yuriko commented as she closed her eyes.

"Did you really have to make me model them in front of Saya and Naruto?" Kushina asked as ended up remembering the event s from earlier and having her son avoid staring at her for the next couple of hours. The feeling of shame began watching over her as she held her face in her palm. "Naruto-kun probably was embarrassed with seeing his old lady like that."

"…he felt something alright and it wasn't that," Yuriko muttered to herself as she said it loud enough for the redhead to catch. "Still, have you considered dating again?"

"I little but I don't think I should. After all, I'm perfectly happy with it being me and Naruto." Kushina said with a definitive nod of her head.

"You and your Jocasta complex…" The Takagi matron muttered as Kushina looked with narrowed eyes.

"What does that even mean!?" Kushina yelled as Yuriko shook her head lightly with a smug look on her face.

"What does what mean?" The two turned around to see Souichiro walking out from the hallway towards them.

"Nothing much just something that went over Kushina-chan's head," Yuriko explained as she chuckles, Kushina then stuck her tongue out at her while also pulling her eyelid down. Souichiro just shakes his head as even after not seeing the two for a couple of months they haven't changed much. "So how was the meeting?" Yuriko asked with a serious expression, the male sighed.

"As about as well as you can expect, the thing we talked about…It will be going forward, at the moment." Souichiro said as he crossed his arms across his chest with the female Takagi mood falling.

"I see…is he here?"

"Yes, he and his father are here, Hiruto-dono is still talking to him in my office," Souichiro said as he looked visibly stress right now.

"Why don't you go get something to drink? You look like you need it right now." Yuriko commented as Souichiro left without a word as Kushina felt confused, she was unsure about what was being said.

"What was that about?" she asked as her friend gave her a sad smile before she looked at the empty glass of wine.

"You will probably find out soon." Yuriko commented as she gave her friend a sad smile, "I can't really say until I know for sure…I just hope everything turns out okay."

"Hmm, you really must work out a lot, if you want, I have some work that needs to be done at my house if you are interested." An older woman in her late 40's said as she traced a circle with her finger over Naruto's jacket, who felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

"I don't think you should be doing that," Naruto said as he was unsure what to do at the moment. After meeting with Takashi, Naruto had found himself losing Saya and was stuck in a bit of a loop. Where a woman would walk up to talk/flirt with him, they would make comments about his muscles saying some stuff that was rather odd. He was able to get away from the last couple of them but this one was extremely persistent and he was starting to get annoyed by her desperation in her flirting. The woman wasn't the best looking, her face looked like she had a lot of work done. He was lucky for a random guy walking nearby, tapped him on the arm and ended up helping him out.

"Okay, look, you seem like a nice kid. So, I will give you some advice, you're going to her house, there won't be anything wrong. There is going to be a camera set up, she is going to offer you some fresh tea…." The man gave Naruto a look, "Don't drink it!" The older woman chuckled nervously as she gave the man a glare, which was enough for Naruto to escape without any problems. He ended up back at the bar area making no progress of escaping the room.

"I see you meet Samara-san," Souichiro said, causing to Naruto turn his head to find him standing right next to him. "She…is rather interesting person; I will recommend you stay away from her since she has a preference for younger boys."

"I think I know now…" Naruto straightens his jacket, before addressing the older man. "it's good to see you again Souichiro-san."

The older man smiled and patted Naruto's back when the bar person places a large glass in front of the male Takagi, Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Whiskey? I thought you preferred Sake." The blond commented as he never saw the man drink any kind of alcohol besides the traditional Japanese sake.

"Normally, I don't drink this kind of drink but I think I will need it." The older man said as Naruto kept his gaze on him.

"Is everything okay Souichrio-san?"

"For the moment, yes…I can't say anything about later." Was all that he said, before taking a sip, he kept a straight face as he felt the small burn of the whiskey going down his throat. "I have to say Naruto-kun I didn't expect you to come here with your hair like this? Whose idea was it?"

"Saya's…" Naruto said with Souichiro chuckling before he motioned for the bartender to come over.

"Bring him some as well." Looking over at the older man he was shocked he was willing to give him alcohol. "Don't look shocked, you turn 17 in two months and you drank wine before so I think you are able to handle this without any problem."

The bartender then places a glass of the same whiskey he had given his boss earlier, in front of him. Naruto was hesitant but eventually took a sip. And regretted as his face scrunch up as he was taken aback by the taste and the burn soon after. Souichiro watched all with a rather amused expression on his face, as he was holding back from laughing at the blonde's reaction.

"At least I didn't give you vodka I don't think you have enjoyed the taste." The man then finished his glass. "So how has the last couple of months been for you Naruto-kun."

"Fine, I guess…The school has been relatively okay except for a couple of things here and there but it was good." Naruto answered as he again took another sip of the whiskey, now knowing what to expect and handled it better but he still recoiled from the burn. "Really, so I have to ask has anyone caught your eye?"

"E-Excuse me? You mean like-"

"Do you have someone you like?" Souichiro asked not bothering to beat around the bush with what he wanted to know, the two reasons for it.

"I don't think so…I mean, there are girls that are attractive at school but…I am not sure if I'm ready to date at the moment." Naruto answered, as he felt a bit embarrassed by the sudden question about his love life, and felt guilty. After all, he was having an affair with the woman he was married; he then took a bigger swig of whiskey and failed to account for the burn.

"You really are something Naruto-kun…" Souichiro said amused, as he patted him on the back making him cough a little bit. While the blond recovered Souichiro's mind wondered towards what happened at the meeting. "Naruto-kun, can I ask you something?"

"Ahh, Souichiro-kun there you are," Hiruto exclaimed with a smile on his face as a security guard, with him, was escorting him was another man who was overweight in a simple black suit and checkered tie. The man was pale skin and was balding with a couple of strains of his hair trying to cover the bald spot; he also had a pair of glasses. Naruto felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand as the two were approaching them. Souichiro scowled for a moment, as he seemed displeased with their sudden appearance before he regained his composure and bowed towards the too, which made Naruto's eyes widen a bit as he never saw the male Takagi bow to another person in his life. Seeing this, the blond ended up bowing too.

"And, who might this young man be Souichiro-kun?" Aramaki asked as he glanced at the blond next to him.

"This is Naruto Uzumaki, Aramaki-dono." Sourichio introduced him to the elder man who turned his head to fully face the blond. Aramaki hummed as he observed the teen.

"Maelstrom or whirlpool…rather interesting name, a nice strong Japanese's name…" Aramaki commented as he scratched his chin with a look of approval, "May I ask what is your relation to the boy?'

"He is the son of a close family friend, but he is also my student," Souichiro answered as Naruto looked over at him from the corner of his eye, well he wasn't lying.

"I wasn't aware that you finally took on a student, I was getting worried that you wouldn't ever take one. I guess the Takagi and Busujimi style will live on, after all, I'm glad to hear that." Aramaki laughed happily at the news before he looked over at Naruto, who gulped nervously. "Can I ask how old are you Naruto-kun?"

"I'm turning 17 in October, Aramaki-dono…" Naruto repeated the same honorific that he heard Souichiro used to talk to the elder man.

"My, how polite…you don't see that as much anymore, sad but that how time goes I suppose…What school do you go to?"

"I'm a first year in Fujimi academy," Naruto answered as this caught the attention of the overweight man.

"Fujimi student, well isn't that a coincident." Aramaki laughed once more as he looked over at the man next to him. "Shido-san is actually the head of the school board at Fujimi."

"That's right! I must say this is rather a pleasant surprise, I never expected this; I must say I will be keeping an eye out for you young man. I expect great thing from you." Ichirou Shido said with a haughty laugh. Naruto looked shocked, meeting the person who was probably responsible for helping him get into Fujimi in the first place. However, he couldn't help but feel something was…just wrong with the men in front of him. Ichirou then glances around before clicking his tongue.

"As much as I would like to talk more with you two, I need to find that wayward son of mine. Take care of yourself Aramki-dono." And with that, the fat bastard waddled off, at the same time Kushina and Yuriko walked into the room his head turned to watch them with a lecheries grin on his face as he blatantly leered at them. Naruto growled, unhappy at the way the man looked at them but Souichiro places his hand on the teen's shoulder stopping him from doing anything.

"That man is really unpleasant." Aramaki said without hesitation, "I apologized for his behavior but his support is needed for the future. After all, you are looking at the future of Japan." That fat bastard was the future of Japan? He wondered how hard it was to get citizenship in America.

"Well, I should get going we have a long day tomorrow, after all, I hope the meeting goes smoothly. Oh, Naruto-kun, please say hello to Atsushi-kun for me." Soon the man left as well, Naruto leaned his head towards Souichiro as he couldn't help but ask.

"Who was he?" Naruto asked as he saw Yuriko and Kushina walked up to them.

"He is my superior." The blonde's eyes widen in surprise, he turned to look at Souichiro who finished his glass of whiskey.

"Wait I thought that you were…"

"What did he say…?" Yuriko said as Kushina slid up to her son as she hugged him from behind laying her chin on his shoulder.

"Nothing…" Souichiro said as he ordered a refill, he sighed hanging his head from the stress. Naruto bites his lip as he figured that saying something now would be problematic. Still, all this time he had always assumed that the head of the Takagi household was the one in charge of whatever it was he did for a living. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really know a lot about the man next to him, even after knowing him his entire life.

"Is this a bad time to ask you about something, Souichiro?" Kushina asked as Naruto looked at her, the man shook his head before he grabbed his glass that the bartender had just refilled.

"I guess that will leave just me and Naruto-kun, right?" Yuriko winked at Naruto, who glanced at Souichiro who motioned for Kushina to follow him. "Why don't we go to the ballroom, I'm in the mood for some dancing."

Kushina trailed Souichiro lagging behind as they made their way to his office, she felt nervous which was noted by how she was rubbing her arm. Every so often she would look behind them to make sure they weren't followed. When they got to his office Souichiro opened the door for her, letting her in first.

"So, what is it you wanted to talk about that you couldn't say in front of your son?" As blunt as ever, huh.

"I-I need another job," Kushina said as the man stopped mid-sip to look at her for a moment.

"I thought you didn't want to work those types of job anymore. Did something happen while I was gone?" He said as he looked at her with a hint of concern. Kushina poked her fingers together as she was still nervous about going.

"There was an incident a few months ago that caused me to pay a lot of money. I have been able to make it work but the fact I need to buy Naruto's suit, and this dress and the tickets to Hawaii. It left me deeper in the red then I originally had thought…" The redhead explained as Souichiro nodded, he understood her situation now, "So I need to do something, so I was hoping to get a fast job before we leave tomorrow night."

"I see…" Souichiro took a swig of whiskey, placing the glass on his desk as he stood up and grabbed a folder that was lying on top of his desk. "I have some good news and bad news." Looking at Kushina before handing her a picture of an average looking man, as the male began talking again. "Good news is that I was just given a job earlier today if you want, I can have you do it in my place. The payout is at least a million America"

Kushina stiffen, that was more than enough for her to be set for a couple of years, she might even have enough for Naruto if he decided to go to college.

"What is the catch?" Kushina asked as with her eye's narrowed, Souichiro began digging into his desk and pulled out a cigar and light it before taking a puff. "It's not something that can be done tomorrow," he saw her stiffen for a moment.

"I guess it's not a big deal if I get paid later…" Kushina muttered as she did some math in her head, after the big hit her bank account took from today's shopping spree, she should still be okay for a few more days with no problem.

"That wasn't the bad news," she flinched, "The problem is that the man is a Chinese researcher who been developing a new drug for an unknown country. He is going to be a rather difficult target to get close to since an unknown party will guard him. That's not all, he might also be targeted by another country to get his hands on his research, so he needs to be taken care of…Do you still want to take this?"

"…it wouldn't be the first time I was given a hard job," Kushina said as looked determined about succeeding she had to. Souichiro had a slight smirk as he handed over the file.

"Then we are in agreement. Okay then we should go over the details because the man is going to be in Hawaii in a few days after we get there, so you will have to find an excuse to leave to do the job. Before we go on is there anything specific that you want for the job?'

"Just get me a long-range sniper rifle and a suppressor, too." Kushina didn't hesitant in what she would need as the Takagi's head smiled in approval.

"Going with the classics I see. Can't argue with the results, I doubt you would get close enough for you to use a sword, let's go over what you will need to know for now."

"Do you know how long it will take; I don't want to leave Naruto alone for too long." The redhead glanced at the clock, as Souichiro opened the folder he handed her a few pieces of paper.

"I'm sure Yuriko will be able to keep Naruto-kun occupied for the time being." Was all he said as the two were hashing out the details with Kushina clenching her dress to calm her anxiousness about going back to her old job.

'One last time…'


Downstairs, Yuriko and Naruto were currently dancing in the ballroom as the party was still going strong, with the only minor issue was one of the women there had tried to get Naruto to dance with her. The purple haired woman wasn't willing to share her lover after finally getting her hands on him all night.

"Who was she?" Naruto asked as Yuriko ignored him and placed her hands-on Naruto's shoulder as a slow song started playing, while he placed them on her waist causing her to pout.

"You can put them a little lower if you want." She said sensually as she pressed her breast against his chest, trying to get a reaction from the blond.

"I don't think so…" The blond gave her look to stop, but she kept pushing as she moved her hands wrapping them around his neck.

"What's wrong? You have been acting rather strange since you meet Aramaki." Yuriko dropped the honorific as she knew that the people nearby didn't care about what she was saying, the rather loud music and alcohol helped too.

"It's…Souichiro told me that man is his boss, is he?" Naruto asked as Yuriko closed her eyes and answered.

"He is in a way…" the blond was silent in thought. "Something tells me that isn't what is bothering you."

"Not all of it, Okaa-san," Naruto admitted as he surprised the woman by bringing her closer to him, her eyes widen as she gave gentle smiled at him, placing her head on his chest as they continued to dance. As the two danced, Naruto thoughts were all over the place. Aramaki had asked him to say hello to the Fujimi headmaster, but how did the old man know about their relationship?

"I really like this…" Hearing Yuriko talk brought Naruto back to reality as she countered. "I really enjoy dancing; unfortunately, I don't get the chance to very often."

"Really? When was the last you went dancing?" Naruto wondered as Yuriko gave him a sly grin as she pressed her body against him.

"Let's see…I believe it was around the end of December at that charity event and I had rather a handsome man as my escort for that evening." Yuriko said as Naruto cheeks redden, as he knew what she was talking about but did not want to think about it.

"December?" he asked cautiously as he felt Yuriko giggled as her right hand caressed his cheek as he tensed up.

"Please, I'm pretty sure we weren't drunk enough to forget what we did. Well, I wasn't anyway, after all, you were the one who got drunk and practically groped me in front of everyone. I was surprised you were able to contain yourself until we got back to that hotel." Yuriko said as she removed her hand, moving into his suit and began rubbing his chest as place her left leg in between his leg.

"I don't think you should do that here." The blond muttered nervously as he eyes a couple of nearby dancers, the Takagi matron pouted but relented as she moved her leg back. Placing her head back on his chest with her eyes closing as the two continued to dance while Naruto mind wandered off again. His mind went to his best friend, Saeko. After, separating from each other at the mall the blond felt that Saeko was different from normal, heck, even before then when they bumped each other in the city, the way she acted when he was talking to her mother was rather odd. As for Saeko's mother, whose name seemed to escape him at the moment, was a rather attractive woman if he was being honest with himself. He was shocked to find out that the woman was actually her mother and still looked that good since most women don't take care of themselves after having kids. He knew Kushina and Yuriko were an exception to that but still the way Saeko acted made him worried about her. He should call her or at the least text her when he has the chance.

"Ara Ara, where do you think you're touching?" Yuriko said, as the blond noticed that he hands moved from her waist to cup her rear end, he took a step back as he apologized. The woman gave him a knowing look as she grabbed his hand and moved away from the dance floor into the hallway. When they were in the foyer, she turned around to talk. "Your mind been wondering for some time, Naruto-kun, if you want to talk you know that I will."

"Sorry…" he said as she gave him a dull look before she kissed him, Naruto took a second to react and pulled his lips away as he whispered harshly. "What are you doing? What if someone saw?"

"No one is here Naruto-kun," Naruto then took the time to look around the area, she was right; there was not a single person in the foyer or on the second floor overlooking the area.

"I still don't think it is a good idea for you to kiss me in your home, at a party that everyone knows that you're married," Naruto said as he placed his hand on his neck. Yuriko tensed up at him mentioning her marriage. The silence soon followed as what was just said hanged in their heads for a moment.

"Maybe we shouldn't have this conversation here after all…" Yuriko stated, Naruto nodded in agreement, the two walked up to the stairs and towards an unknown destination, at least for the teen. The older woman had paused when they passed a bathroom with rather familiar sounding moans coming from the other side. She had a knowing grin before resuming walking. Eventually, they had made it to the bedroom that he and his mother would use to stay over, he felt some relief that the place looked untouched by horny couples.

"Now no one can overhear what we are going to talk about, so I think we have some things we need to air out," Yuriko said as she locked the door, sitting on the bed gesturing the blond to sit next to her. Naruto felt nervous as he followed her lead, when he sat down, she took her hand and place it on his thigh. "Do you want to go first or do you want to continue where we left off in the foyer?'

"Okay, umm…Okaa-san, what are we?" Naruto asked her while Yuriko was pleasantly surprised at his question.

"I guess that makes sense to ask that, we haven't really defined what this is, huh? That is mostly my fault for not doing so earlier, I was only interested in getting what I wanted and neglected some many things in the process. " Yuriko admitted, she wished that she had brought something to drink earlier.

"What do you mean?" Naruto questioned her as she gave him a teasing smile as she waved her finger in front of her face.

"I think I deserve to ask a question in turn." The blond felt annoyed but allowed it, since it was better to play along. "Let's see, so many things I want to know…I guess I should ask something similar for now. So, Naruto-kun, what do you want this complicated relationship to be?"

"Ummm, what?" Naruto couldn't help but ask as the female Takagi elaborated on the question.

"Like I said what do you want us to be? Do you want it to be just something physical or…do you want something more?" Yuriko clarified as she watched the teen with a straight face. Naruto redden as he wondered if she was trying to tease him, but the look on her face told him that she wanted a serious answer. He thought to himself about it, did he want to keep things purely physical? As a hormonal teenager, he couldn't help but like that idea of having a sexual relationship with a beautiful woman like Yuriko. He couldn't deny the benefits that he had gained from what they had now, he was able to relax a lot more after dealing with the idiots at school and just life in general. So, he should just allow this thing to continue, right?

"Okaa-san, what if…I want something more?" Naruto felt nervous as he asked, as much as a purely sexual relationship sound likes the best thing to do. He couldn't do it, he felt like maybe something could work out between them. Yuriko's eyes widen before she gave him a loving smile and caressed his cheek.

"Well, I guess we should see where things go, right?" She moved her head close to his before kissing him. He soon returned it before the kiss ended and she leaned her head on his shoulder. While they relaxed, Naruto decided to ask something that's been a constant thing popping up in his head for a couple of months.

"What about Souichiro?" Naruto stated nervously and the woman gave him a comforting smile.

"I'm surprised you didn't ask about him earlier," Yuriko stated as she moved away from Naruto before she inhaled deeply. "Well, we shouldn't really worry about him too much."

"How can you say that isn't-" Naruto was forcibly shut up by Yuriko pushing her tongue down his throat. Eventually, she removed her mouth from Naruto's as he was left in a daze.

"Naruto-kun, there is a lot of things you don't know about…It's best if you just let me worry about that, okay. So, for now just focus on me and just enjoy the mood." she said with her hand beginning to undo his suit jacket button feeling that it was starting to get in the way. Naruto, still a bit dazed, just nodded his head dumbly as he ran his hand over her chest causing her to moan.

"I guess you're not really wearing a bra, huh," Naruto asked as his hands soon reached up to undo the knot that was holding her dress top up.

"Not in this dress." She answers his silly question while she bit her lip lightly as her dress top fell down revealing her pink nipples. Naruto then moved his head down and began to kiss the top of her breast, moving downward he began sucking on her right nipple. "Oh, fuck I don't think I can hold it in any longer Naruto-kun."

"What do you mean, we just started?" Naruto said surprised at what she just stated; Yuriko bit her lips before throwing herself at Naruto kissing him again. The two fell back on the bed as the older woman straddled the blond.

"I haven't had sex since last week since we had that quickie in your living room. This morning and the mall didn't help young man, Okaa-san is all ready to go, so…" Yuriko moving her left hand downwards towards the slit on the left side of the dress, she pulled it to the side showing him a small glimpse of her black side-tied thong underneath. He felt his heart start to beat faster in his chest as her finger pinched the string and undid the knot before she allowed it to slack downwards. Spreading her legs apart ever so slightly as the piece of cloth slacked to the side. He was able to make out a bit of purple pubic hair from the exposed skin that was once hidden by the thong.

"Now, let's continue where we left off this morning. " Yuriko moved her hand to unzip her dress, as Naruto began undoing his belt.

'RING, RING'

Yuriko and Naruto loudly groaned as the two were annoyed by the sudden ringing of the phone. Pulling out his phone the blond glared at it before he paled at the caller id.

"It's Kaa-san." Yuriko felt a bit miffed at her friend as she ended up cock blocking her again!

"Hello?" Naruto said as he tried to sit up when the woman began kissing his neck.

"Naruto-kun, where are you?" Kushina asked. Naruto held in a groan as he was trying to ignore what was being done to him.

"I'm with O-Obaa-san." Yuriko pouted, as she listened in on the call.

"Okay good! I just finished up with Souichrio and I think it is time we get going. Is that all of it?" Kushina asked to who he assumed was Souichiro.

"Already? I didn't think we've been here that long." Naruto said as he was sure they were only here for a few hours.

"It's already 12 am," Kushina said, surprising the two as they seemed to have lost the time. "I will meet you at the door..."

The phone call disconnected with him sighing. Yuriko had stopped molesting him as she stood up from the bed, fixing her top. Naruto opened his mouth to say something but was stopped when the purple haired woman spoke up.

"It's okay Naruto-kun, we should get to the foyer. Do the knot for me?" Yuriko asked as the blond came up from behind her grabbing the tow straps and tied the knot when she pressed her butt against his pelvis.

"I really hate Kushina right now…. let's get going," Yuriko said before picking something off the floor. "Here keep this as a memento." Naruto looked at what Yuriko place in his hand to see that she had handed him her thong, which had become soaked from her juices. The blond didn't say anything as his cheeks had a light shade of pink before he just slipped the small cloth into his pocket.

"Hey, before we go can I ask you something?" Naruto asked as the older woman gave him a small smile and nodded her head. "Why do you want me to call you Okaa-san so bad?" Yuriko gave him an amused grin with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, well, I have quite a few reasons, to be honest." She stated as she adjusted her top a bit, "One of them is that I have known you since you were a cute little baby, I would like to think that I helped raise you into the handsome man that you became. So why wouldn't I want you to call me mom? How times flies…I'm not as young as I used to be."

"Your still beautiful Okaa-san," Naruto said with no hesitation. Yuriko gave him a grateful smile. "What are the other reasons?" There was a small second where she paused. As the other reason was something she had always secretly hoped would happen, which was for her daughter and Naruto to fall in love and get married when they got older. Now, it was something that was rather unlikely. Pushing the thought out of her mind, a coy smile appeared on her face.

"I assumed that you would have figured out the last reason, given your Oedipus complex," Yuriko spoke as the blond gained a look of confusion. "Seriously Naruto…I guess you probably haven't realized it yet…" Yuriko closed her eyes in thought as she tried to figure out how to proceed.

"Oedipus?" Naruto muttered, as he never heard of that in his life, she rolled her eyes.

"It a story from…You know what let's skip that…We should really get going, I rather not piss off Kushina. Oh, let's find Saya-chan."

Naruto shrugged his shoulder as he wondered where Saya went after they separated at the end of the night. He followed his lover as she ended up fast walking down the hall to Saya's bedroom. It took a little more than a minute to get there before Yuriko placed her ear near the door and listened to what was happening, then knocked. The two then heard the small muffled scream of 'I'm coming!" as the sound of footsteps heading towards the door, before it opened a bit with a red face panting Saya who was glaring at them before relaxing a bit.

"There you are, sweetie, we were looking for you. I see you are enjoying your gift, but Naruto-kun and Kushina-chan are leaving in a bit, so come and say goodbye." Yuriko had a sly grin on her face as she noted her daughter's appearance.

"O-Okay I be out in a minute." Saya stuttered before closing the door, the two waited patiently and within a minute Saya was in a simple pink pajama set. Saya didn't look at them when she exited her room as she was sure her mother knew what she was doing. The trio walked to the foyer to see Souichiro and Kushina, who was carrying a small cardboard box, waiting for them by the door.

"There you are, what kept you?" Kushina was quick to question them for their late arrival as she was tapping her foot impatiently.

"We went to get Saya who was hiding out in her room," Yuriko explained as Saya tried to not glare at her mother.

"I wasn't hiding…besides, it's not like anyone noticed I wasn't there…" Saya muttered as Naruto flinched having been the only one to hear her.

"Another great party Yuriko-chan, Souichrio-san…We really should get going we still have a long day to pack tomorrow." Kushina yawned, as the rest tried to stiffen a yawn, they all had a long night, and the party was still going on by the music playing in the background. They will need to be kicked out as soon as they reasonably could before they could rest for the night.

"Do you really have to go, why can't you sleep here for the night," Saya asked too sadden at their departure, Kushina smiled as she gave her surrogate daughter a large hug.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie but it is really getting late. Naruto and I still have to pack, but we will have two weeks to spend together soon and we can do anything we want then." Kushina said to Saya, who just gave a sad smile as she returned the hug. The two let go when Saya quickly launched herself at Naruto who was not expecting a hug, all of a sudden.

"Thank you for the necklace, Naruto…" Saya whispered shyly as she refused to look him in the face Naruto smiled as he hugged her back with everyone smiling at the scene.

"Aww, you are so cute Saya-chan." Kushina cooed as she too joined in the hug, eventually things calmed down. Kushina was the one to separate first as she said goodbye to them, with Naruto soon following. The pair then left the estate as the Takagi family waved them off. Souichiro stayed quiet as he was exhausted from the long day, all he wanted to do was relax and count the hours before he could relax a bit in Hawaii. However, he still had a lot of things that needed to be done. Inhaling deeply, he sighed as he hated what he had to do, he truly did.

"Yuriko…I think it best if we talk about what we discussed earlier." Souichiro said as the Takagi matron looked puzzled until his eye darted towards their daughter.

"Now?!" Yuriko asked in shock, his head nodded as Saya looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you two talking about?" Saya questioned them since she was overhearing their conversation. Her parents looked at each other before long Souichiro was the one to step up as he coughed into his hand.

"Saya…There is something we need to discuss, let's talk in my office."

The pink haired girl felt something building in the pit of her stomach as she nervously nodded her head and slowly followed her parents as the party continued with no one aware of what was happening.


(Sometime later)

"Home at last…" Kushina exclaimed as she kicks open the door to her home. Naruto couldn't help but agree as he nodded his head, making sure to close the door behind as his mother dragged her feet towards the living room before plopping on the couch face first. She didn't even bother taking off her heels.

"Can't you scoot so I can sit?" Naruto asked as he heard a vague muffled replay from the redhead. He sighed and he grabbed her leg as he moved them up to squeeze on through so he can sit down, before placing her feet over his lap. The two sat in the darkness of their living room as they didn't want to move. "So, what did you and Souichiro talk about?" Naruto asked feeling curious about what they discussed. Kushina moved so that her face was no longer buried into the seat cushions.

"Nothing much, I just had to ask him for a favor," Kushina said as she now was sitting up straight and she leaned against her son with him wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm so tired…" Kushina moaned as she felt her feet throbbing from wearing heels, which was rare for her to wear. "You know you…we never really got to dance together…"

"…yea…we didn't…"Naruto admitted with Kushina poking him in the cheeks as she pouted.

"You owe me a dance…Mister," Kushina said with her son just releasing a groaned 'sure'. "Urgh, I don't want to walk upstairs…. Honey, carry me~"

"Do I have to?"

"Yes," Kushina said as she pouted at him with Naruto groaning again.

"Does it have to be your bed?"

"Whatever is close." Just then, a banging on their front door caused the two to groan loudly.

"Who the hell is knocking on the door when it's tomorrow!" Kushina yelled as she stood up and marched to her front door to give the person peace of her mind. She was quick to grab the door handle as the person on the other side was continuing to bang on it.

"WH-Saya-chan?!" Kushina was fully prepared to yell her head off at the person making the noise but was caught by surprise, as the person who was banging on her door was Saya, still dressed in her pajamas. "What are you doing Saya?"

"OKAA-SAN!" Saya yelled as she reached out and hugged Kushina while burying her face into her surrogate mother's bosom and began crying heavily into her dress. Kushina was unable to do anything as she tried to calm down the girl who was crying her eyes out; her head looked behind her to see Naruto who looked just as confused. The redhead then began focusing her attention trying to calm the pinkette down. As the two were occupied Naruto felt his phone vibrate and he took it out before he saw he had a single message form Yuriko.

"Please take care of Saya…"

It took a while to calm the pink haired girl down, by the time they did, they brought her inside and sat her down on the couch. Kushina went into the kitchen, quickly making a cup of tea for the girl, leaving Naruto and Saya alone as a tense silence was prominent; Naruto sat down next to her while biting his lip as he tried to figure out how to start things off. Luckily, his mother was able to soon bring in the tea she made and was the one to talk first.

"Saya-chan, what happened?" Kushina sat down handing the cup of tea. Saya mumbled a thank you as she went quiet, her eyes were still red from crying a few minutes ago. "How did you even get here? I don't think the buses run this late?"

"I got a ride from a classmate parent who was at the party…" Saya mutter, the disheartened tone in her voice was evident as the mother-son duo looked at each other with concern for the young girl. Naruto had an idea who the classmate was, if he ever saw Takashi again, he should thank him. He didn't want Saya out in the middle of the night in her pajama's…. on second thought he just might punch the kid. Why didn't they stop her from leaving?

'Calm down…. you don't know what happened there is no point in getting angry at someone.' Naruto thought as he glanced at Saya while he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Saya, can you tell us why you're here?" Naruto asked in a calm tone as he saw the girl glance at her hot tea, twiddling her thumbs as they held the cup.

"A-After you left, Otou-san and Okaa-san told me they needed to talk to me. They took me to Otou-san's office, at first I thought they wanted to talk to me about not being at the party and just staying in my room." Saya paused as she took a sip of her tea before resuming. "Instead they told me…that I will have to go to a marriage meeting."

"What the hell!" Kushina exclaimed as she heard the fact that her friend was forcing her daughter into an arranged marriage. Naruto was stunned as well about what his little sister had told them.

"But can't you decline?" Naruto asked as Saya glared at him.

"If I could decline do you think I would be here!" Saya yelled at him, before feeling guilty for yelling at him. "S-sorry…" the blond nodded his head, he understood that she wasn't in the right state of mind at the moment.

"Otou-san mentioned that I wasn't allowed to decline. The only person that is allowed too is the one that is doing the asking for the meeting." Saya said as she placed the now empty cup on the coffee table. "I-I don't know how they could do this to me, they know I wouldn't want this. Yet they still did it., why…why did they do this…. I-It's not fair…"

Kushina couldn't take anymore and grabbed a hold of her and just held her, Naruto soon joined in as the girl began sobbing in their arms.

"Honey you can stay here for tonight. You can sleep in my room like yesterday." The redhead told the girl who nodded her head as she tried to wipe her tears away with her sleeve. The older woman began leading the girl out of the room up the stairs to let her sleep. Naruto pulled out his phone as he scanned his contacts until he found the person he wanted to call. It took a few rings before the person answered with a tired hello.

"What the hell Souichiro!" Naruto yelled through the phone, as the Saya's father sighed from the other side of the phone.

"I was expecting you to call Yuriko first…So I'm guessing you know." Souichiro said in a calm tone as he was heard moving around. Naruto glanced upstairs for a moment before talking.

"Of course, I know, it's kind of hard Not to when your daughter comes banging on the door with tears running down her face," Naruto spoke as he reined in his anger at the whole situation.

"I'm glad she made it safely over there, I was concerned when she ran off after we told her about the arrange marriage." The older man said before he pauses as the sound of a liquid was heard in the background, probably pouring a drink. " This whole thing is a mess…"

"Souichiro can you tell what is going on?" Naruto requested as he heard the man sigh.

"Okay…I guess I should explain myself." There was a small pause before Souichrio began talking. "A few months ago, my boss…"

"Aramaki?" Naruto said as the man remained silent before answering.

"Yes…anyways, a few months ago a rather high up...sponsor of sorts had wanted to strengthen our corporation's relations so he offered his youngest son to an arranged marriage."

"So Saya was chosen for this?" Naruto questioned.

"No, the person didn't care who was married off but the person had requested to hold meetings between the candidates first so he can choose. Before you interrupt me Naruto, no, Saya hasn't had the meeting…yet."

"…when is the meeting going to be?" Naruto had to ask as silence soon followed afterward.

"Two weeks…the day after we come back from vacation." The older man said as the blond flinched, two weeks it…it wasn't really that long if you think about it. "There is a chance that Saya won't be chosen but…I'm not sure it will happen."

"So…that's it…All we can do is hold our breath and hope for the best." Naruto anger began to rise as he began breathing heavily.

"Yes…I know it's not the best option but it's all we can do." Souichiro took a deep breath before continuing, "It's getting late now, I think we should end this for the night. Goodnight Naruto…and take care of Saya for me." With that, the call ended with Naruto collapsing on the couch as he ran his hands across his face. All this time, Saya was kept in the dark about this until it was practically too late.

"This whole thing is just fucked up," Naruto muttered to himself as he felt someone wrap their arms around him causing him to jump in his seat.

"Who was that?" Kushina asked as Naruto groaned out loud, she pressed her forehead to his as she looked down at him.

"I called Souichiro after you left," Naruto said. The redhead placed her hands across her chest as a scowl formed on her face.

"Good that man had better have explained himself for what he had done to Saya-chan," Kushina said, as her son sighed at her statement since the situation is not that simple as it would appear. He then proceeded to explain the entire situation to her, she listened carefully as her scowl turned into a deep frown. "Damn it…"

"Yeah…" was all the blond could say, his mind and body already tired from the day he had adding this shit on top of it, was just…man. "So, how is she?"

"As well as you can expect…she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed, I stayed with her until I knew she wouldn't wake up," Kushina said her eyes darting towards the stairs as if expecting to see pink hair peeking from the top. "We should probably get to bed as well, it's almost 2 in the morning."

"Okay, are you going to sleep with Saya…" Naruto stood up from the couch as he turned towards his mother for the first time as the sentence stopped abruptly as he saw what his mother was wearing. She had forgone her dress and was wearing a silky purple negligee that went to her upper thigh. Kushina nodded her head as she rubbed them as she didn't seem to notice her son was staring at her as her concern for Saya clouded her mind at the moment.

"I will, I don't have the heart to let her sleep by herself tonight…I should probably go just in case she wakes up." Kushina said as she walked up to Naruto, placing a small kiss on his cheek, "Good night Naruto-kun, don't stay up late okay."

"Good night…Kaa-san…" Naruto said as he watched her walk off as his eyes ended up following her a lot longer than was appropriate.

"What is wrong with me…" was the last thing the blond thought before he walked up to the stairs so he can get some sleep.


(Timeskip first day of the second semester)

It's been over three weeks since Saya's 'birthday party', which was a farce looking back at it since it was created just to appease Souichiro's boss. The day after finding out about the marriage meeting, Saya ended up staying at the Uzumaki resident until they left for the airport later that night. During the entire trip, Saya avoided her parents. From the trip to the airport, the plane trip over to Hawaii, to the hotel even a couple of days after that.

Eventually, it took Naruto having to trick Saya to get her to see her parents; the family ended up sitting down and talking. The blond didn't know what they talked about but it had worked out since Saya had finally begun spending time with her parents and began enjoying the trip a lot more. At some point, Souichiro had disappeared for a couple of days afterward; Saya wasn't happy about that but tried not to show it.

Overall, the trip was rather pleasant afterward, he particularly enjoyed telling a bunch of horny men that tried to hit on the girl that she was 15, they took off running which was hilarious. Especially, since Saya didn't understand a word they were saying to her. Nothing really noteworthy had happened, well his mother did get a bad stomach ache after eating at a restaurant early in the trip but that was a small bump in the road.

Unfortunately, good times don't last as the Takagi's went their separate ways as they took off as soon as the plane landed. The two didn't hear from them for a couple of days which left the two on edge. They had gone about the rest of the days that they had left before school started up again. When they tried to find out about what happened they got nothing. He tried to get answers from Yuriko when they meet up but she was tight lip about it. Leading up to today, the two knew nothing.

Today, Kushina had to leave early to go to work due to the school having a meeting with a new board member. When his mother left to work, she allowed her son to sleep in for once. Naruto woke to find out he had no way to get to school on time. He was lucky that a call to Yuriko, who gave him a ride in exchange for a favor, later on. The two were currently in the middle of traffic in Tokosonu City when Yuriko saw how quiet the boy was.

"Something on your mind Naruto-kun", Yuriko asked, who was wearing an all-black business suit and skirt combo with a pair of black pantyhose. The blond couldn't help but stare at who pretty she looked, Naruto than shook his head as he answered her question.

"I'm…Just worried about Saya…ever since she ran away from home, I can't help but worry about her. You and Souchiro didn't help by not telling me and Kaa-san anything about it or afterward. What happened at the meeting?" Yuriko flinched slightly, as she stared at the road in front of her.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything that I can tell you two. Not even Souichiro knows what is going on with the whole thing. The only thing I know is that the person is the son of someone powerful and his father requested that he arrange the meetings with all the daughters of every high-ranking official in the organization. I wish I can say more but I have no idea what is going on at the moment." Yuriko stated with harden expression as she kept her focus on the road. Naruto bit the inside of his cheek, he was hoping to get some more information about the meeting, he probably knows just as much as Yuriko does now. This did not make him happy, shouldn't Souichiro have informed her about what was going on, maybe he did not know much as well.

"I hope everything turns out, alright…" Naruto muttered as Yuriko gave him a small smile before she grabbed his face and kissed him. He tensed up before she pulled away for a moment and muttered, 'the light is red' and she was quick to claim his lips once more. This time Naruto had responded and relaxed as the older woman slipped her tongue into his mouth. The teen's hand slowly made towards her body, placing his left hand on Yuriko's breast and his right on her outer thigh. She moans as she felt his hand caress her left breast and thigh.

"You shouldn't tease a woman like that Naruto-kun…mmh…I might have to drag you to a hotel and have my way with you. I rather you are not late on your first day back." Yuriko said as she pulled away with a light blush on her face. Naruto nodded his head and removed his hands before he shifted in his seat, he really didn't want to go to school with a hard-on. However, the woman seemed to notice his problem before she placed her left hand on his thigh. "If you want, I can pull over and help take care of that? We still have a good twenty minutes before you have to get there. I think I can take care of that on the way but I suspect you would enjoy it more if it was something other than my hand."

"But-" Naruto didn't have the time to replay as Yuriko had already managed to slip her hand into his pants giving his hard on a squeeze.

"Good, I know a place we can enjoy some privacy." With that, the older woman had taken off as soon as the light changed color while driving one-handed.


(At school)

"He's late…" Saeko muttered to herself, as she was currently just outside school premises while she waited for her BFF to arrive. To her surprise, he was not here when she arrived, she had received a text earlier in the morning that he would be at school later than usual, still she hoped that he would make it before the bell rings in 5 minutes.

"Busujima-san?" Saeko lifted her head to see the two males of D.C. heading towards her.

"Good morning, Izuku-senpai, Kotaro-senpai," Saeko replied with a small bow as Kotaro eyes fell towards Saeko's large breast before Izuki elbowed him to get him to behave.

"Busujima-san, it's weird to see you by yourself without Naruto-san with you, where is he?" Izuki asked Saeko while she shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't know where he was.

"That guy is kind of cutting it close…" He said checking the time on his phone, "We should probably-"

"What's going on over there?" Kotaro muttered out loud as he noticed a group of students gathering around the front gate.

"Please let me be wrong…" Izuki said as he ran around Saeko, who decided to follow with Kotaro right behind them. As they got closer, they could hear the voices of the crowd speak.

"Oh, god, I thought he dropped out." A third year said.

"What are they thinking doing this out in the open like this?"

"Do you think we can walk around them?"

"Why can't these people just go away."

The trio had to push their way through the crowd of students until they made it to the front to see standing in the center of the school courtyard was Ryuichi and Mochizuki standing in front of one another. Right next to the two was a large group of male students, each wearing the respective colors, Ryuichi's group was visibly larger than Mochizuki's group. Almost everyone was interested in the exchange that was happening as many students were seen hanging around the front of the school, or peering from one of the many windows of the building. Saeko couldn't help but noticed Izuki was grinding his teeth as was eyeing the larger teen hanging around, who she assumed was Ryuichi.

"So that is Ryuichi…" Saeko muttered as she eyed the blond teen in front of her. Ryuichi made the first move as he spread his arms out as he the corner of his lip turned upward.

"It's been a while, Mochizuki…. How have you been?" Ryuichi asked as Mochizuki scowled with narrowed eyes.

"I wasn't expecting you to actually come back to Fujmi that's for sure. I would have taken the first chance to leave this place." Mochizuki stated as he saw the third year to sigh as throw his head back.

"I will admit the thought has crossed my mind a couple of time, if it wasn't so beneficial to me then I would have." Ryuichi absentmindedly commented as he placed his hands into his pocket, his eyes glancing all around the crowd of students, before focusing on the gang of white colored students behind the gang leader. "I see you have been busy, it's a shame that it will be wasted." Ryuichi then gave a shrug of his shoulders, "At least you are putting up a fight, unlike the others."

The third year then started to pace around all while scanning the crowd, he couldn't help but smile when he saw people flinch every time his eyes focused in their general direction. He cocked an eyebrow when he saw two people in the crowd as they kept there cool, he smirked their direction before focusing on Mochizuki again.
"Unfortunately, I have been rather busy but now…I think we can finally end this little game of ours. After all the school needs to know who its ruler is." Ryuichi said with a smirk. Mochizuki shifted in place as he was prepared for anything, all while the third year just gave him look of amusement. "Do you really want to die now?" A few people in the crowd flinched at the casual mention of death, mostly those in the upper years.

"What hell is going on here!" A male voice screamed out causing everyone in the courtyard to turn and look around to see who had said it. Eventually, everyone looked towards the school gate as the crowd of students starts to part making an opening for a single male student. Naruto kept his eyes forwards even as Saeko flashed him a smile as he passed by; the only thing he focused on was the two rival gang leaders. As the head of D.C approached, Mochizuki stared at him with narrowed eyes as Ryuichi grinned at him. "What are you guys doing?"

"This is none of your concern Uzumaki-san…" Mochizuki commented as he focused back on the third year.

"We were just talking Naruto-san," Ryuichi said with a smile as Naruto stared at him with a cocked eyebrow as Mochizuki's eyes widen, he then gave the blonde-haired person a suspicious stare. The first year didn't seem to notice this.

"You were just talking? Then you two can… 'talk' somewhere else. You guys are not only blocking the way for other students but causing a scene in front of the school on the first day back. Shows over people get inside, NOW!" With that, every student soon began to walk inside, except for a hand full of people who stuck around. Mochizuki let out a low growl as he motioned his group to leave, but not before he glared at Naruto.

"You really are an interesting person Naruto-san," Ryuichi commented, impressed at how fast he got almost every student to vacate the area.

"When did I give you permission to call me by my first name?" Naruto looked at Ryuichi who shrugged his shoulders when Arashi tapped him, leaning in and started to whisper into his ear.

"It's been taken care of…"

"Already? Nice to have some competent people around. Let's go." Ryuichi said as he walked away, waving goodbye to Naruto who stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"So that was Ryuichi," Saeko commented as she and the two upperclassmen walked up to Naruto. "To be honest I don't really see what the big deal is about him."

"While I will admit he might not look like much but he is a very dangerous Busujma-san, remember that." Izuki decided to remind them as he ran his hand through his hair. "We are going to have our work cut out for us…" Naruto could not help but agree, as he stayed silent.

"I wonder why none of the teachers stepped in to stop them, even if they didn't start fighting it looked like it would," Saeko asked as Izuki clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Like any of them want to get involved in that, there were a couple of teachers in the crowd but were too scared to step in. They are a bunch of cowards." Izuki stated. "I guess that's why we have Naruto in charge."

"Still, that guy gives me the creep…" Naruto muttered, he hated to admit it that Ryuichi set him on edge. It was a sickening feeling that made his instincts goes hay wired when he was near. Pushing that into the back of his mind as he walked inside with the others after all they didn't want to get in trouble for being late.

Meanwhile, inside the school building, Ryuichi had long since separated from his gang members and was walking through the hall with his right hand by his side playing with his lighter. Arashi who accompanied him was currently leered at some first-year girls passing by with them recoiling in fear and ran down the hall as quick as possible.

"Arashi, stop," Ryuichi ordered as Arashi groaned but complied as he leered at the girls one last time, he will have to find them later. "We have a busy day ahead of us, was everything I asked for done?"

"As far as I know, yes, Shigetaka was in charge so take that as you will," Arashi said with a slight sneer, his distaste for his fellow lieutenant was evident. "He and some of the guys had picked up some of the stuff you were asked to push but…what is that stuff anyway?"

"Don't know…I wouldn't try any of this shit though, who knows what kind of things you can catch; besides he was supposed to push it to the other students. I rather not get heat on the group giving this to me." Ryuichi said as he began to play with his lighter. "What about the other thing?"

This time Arashi had a large sinister grin as he chuckled, "Don't worry about that, they are in the nurse's office recovering from the sudden attack by some homeless person. They won't be a problem for a few weeks at least."

"Good, I guess I should get to class, Shido-sensei probably misses me," Ryuichi said as he chuckled before walking to his class. Students and faculty members alike avoided him as if he was the plague amused him to no end. When he reached the outside of his homeroom, he slammed the door open.

"Oh, Kurotaki-kun it's good to see you back. I hope your Kaa-san is all better now." Ryuichi's Homeroom teacher said with a fake smile on his face. The teacher was a pale thin man who looked like he a twig that ready to be snap in half and wore a pair of glasses.

"She is fine for now, thanks for asking Shido-sensei."

"That is good to hear, I will like for you to stay afterward school, we have a lot to discuss." the teen nodded his head, walking towards the only open seat in the room. Sitting down and plopped his feet on the desk as he began to play with lighter. Shido ignored this while grinning slightly, before going back to talking. He had some time before the school assembly began.


"Hey, is something wrong with Hayashi-sensei?"

"I think so; I mean she doesn't look good."

"Do you think we should call the nurse?"

That was what Naruto heard when he opened the door to his classroom, and he could not agree more with the class. Even from the doorway, he could see that Kyoko looked like a different person with her skin being an oily pale color, the area around her eyes were darkened from lack of sleep, and even her clothes were disheveled. It was an off-putting sight, seeing the normally strict woman like this. What had happened over the summer break?

"Oh, you made it on time Uzumaki-san…Just take your seat." Kyoko said with tired tone in her voice as if she was not all there. For the time being, he just walked to his seat as he glanced at Rei who gave him a small look before looking over at Kyoko as if asking what had happened to her. Giving a slight shrug of his shoulders he sat down at his desk as Kyoko let out a small sigh.

"We will be having a morning assembly that is mandatory to attend so…just wait for the announcement," Kyoko stated as the room went quiet, she had pretty much told them to do whatever they wanted until it was time to leave. Everyone looked at each other before one brave girl raised her hand and started talking,

"Umm, Sensei are you…okay?" The girl asked as Kyoko glanced over at her for a second as she muttered, 'I'm fine…'

No, she wasn't that much was obvious to everyone in 1-C, but nobody was willing to talk to their sensei. Soon everyone just began to talk amongst themselves about what they did over summer break, only occasionally glancing over to Kyoko who just stared at the floor with that same stoic expression. Rei reached her arm over, tapping Naruto's desk grabbing his attention.

"Hey, Naruto-kun, thanks for helping me out yesterday with my homework and with talking to my tou-san about letting me keep my job," Rei said with a small smile on her face, Naruto for the most part just nodded his head but kept his eyes on Kyoko. The orange haired girl took notice as she looked over at their sensei. "So, what do you think happened to Hayashi-sensei?"

"Maybe something bad happened over the summer?" Naruto stated as Rei gave him a dry stare. Eventually, they changed the topic to Rei's summer job turning into a weekend part-time job. Apparently, the store owner had taken a liking to her as she ended up bringing in more customers. He absently wondered why, as his eyes dart towards her large chest for a moment. He was thankfully the girl didn't take any notice of this.

"It feels great not having to ask my parents for money anymore. I just wished it wasn't so stressful at times. The tips are great but some guys can't take a hint, one of them even tried to grab my ass while I was walking by." Rei ranted while Naruto felt uncomfortable about the fact that somebody was willing to grope an underage girl in the open like that. Then again, there's a lot of messed up people in the world, heck most would put him in that category. He was almost inclined to agree.

"Rei, how old are you?" Naruto asked as he wondered how old his newest friend was. Rei blinked in confusion at the rather out of nowhere question.

"Well, that was out of nowhere? I'm 15 my birthday is in January so you don't have to worry about a present until them." The girl said jokingly, "What about you?"

"Oh, I'm 15 too, but my birthday is in October," Naruto replied as Rei's eyes widen in surprise.

"Wait, your birthday is next month? I should get you something." The girl said closing her eye as she wondered what she can get him, maybe she could get something to eat.

"You don't have to do that, Rei," Naruto said, to be honest, he never really cares about his birthday as he would celebrate it in almost the same way every year. He and his mother would spend the day watching classic movies and would have lunch or dinner with the Takagi depending if the day fell on a weekend. It was rather simple compared to Saya's birthday last month, but he enjoyed it especially since Souichiro actively made an effort to get a day off to spend with both him and his family. He did wonder if anything would be different this year, given his and Yuriko abnormal relationship.

"I do though…. Oh, how about I buy you lunch at my job as a present?" Rei offered as Naruto had a hard time resisting, after all, it was free food. Crap, now he would have to get her something, what do guys give girls as a present? Wait, when is Saeko's birthday, the two had been friends for almost a year and they don't know each other's birthday? Did it pass? Was it coming up? Will she hold it against him if he didn't know despite being BFF's.

Soon the school announcement system came online as a female voice came through the speakers calling all students and staff to the school auditorium. The students of 1-C heads turned towards Kyoko who seemed to have not heard the announcement and kept staring off into nowhere. Everyone in the room looked around unsure what to do as they looked around at each other. Naruto took a breath before he addressed the class.

"Everyone start making your way towards the auditorium, Rei can you make sure everyone gets there," Naruto ordered as Rei nodded her head seeing as she was the class president, it was her duty. Luckily, nobody made a fuse and just walked towards the assembly, Rei did look back as Naruto gave her small nod. When she was out the door, the blond looked at Kyoko who was still rather unresponsive. He inched towards her before he called out to her

"Sensei? Hayashi-sensei!" Naruto screamed waving his hands in front of the teacher's face. She blinked wildly as she was knocked from her thoughts before looking at the blond.

"Nar-Uzumaki-san, what are you doing here?" Kyoko asked still unsure of what was going on, seemly to have not noticed the announcement over the speaker a minute ago.

"Umm, Hayashi-sensei, did you not hear the announcement?" Naruto asked as Kyoko was looking at him still unfocused.

"What announcement?" Kyoko asked with a cocked eyebrow, she stood up as she looked around the room frantically as she saw she now had an empty classroom. "Where are the other students?!"

"Don't worry sensei; I had Rei take them to the opening ceremony." Naruto calmed the woman seeing her small freak out, Kyoko sighed in relief. "Still, this isn't like you to zone out like this Hayashi-sensei."

"I-I…I just have a lot on my mind…" Kyoko looked at her left hand in sadness as she rubbed her bare ring finger. The blond kept quiet as he saw her expression and he opened his mouth to ask her if she is okay.

"We should get going Uzumaki-san…" The teacher stated as she closed her eyes gesturing to the blond teen to follow. Naruto bit his tongue as he wanted to talk to her about why she was acting the way she did, but stopped, did he really have a right to intrude on her life. As much as he hated to say it, Kyoko and he aren't particularly fond of each other. At least he assumes that she didn't like him by how she acts around him. Naruto began to walk out the room as Kyoko followed him as she straightens her outfit, closing the door she called out to her student.

"Uzumaki-san…Thanks for waiting for me…" she said giving him a grateful smile, while it wasn't anything major it still was nice of him to make sure that she made it to the assembly and avoided getting in trouble for missing it. Naruto gave her a nod of the head as the two walked to the assembly in silence.


Across town in Shintoko third elementary school, in the faculty office, Kushina groaned from her desk as she laid her head across her desk.

"What are you whining about now Kushina-san?" Yoko asked from her desk that was across from the redhead. Kushina lifted her head up to look at her friend.

"Nothing just…I have had a rather stressful time back home…" Kushina stated as her mind wondered to Saya and how the girl was holding up, she should ask her to hang out for a girl's night out later.

"Really, what about?" Yuko asked with a curious tone in her voice as her friend waved her off. The glass-wearing woman frowned as she looked at her phone, that's laying on the desk as she sighed.

"What are you sighing about?" Kushina was quick to notice the sigh and quick to turn the table on the woman to avoid talking about her own problems.

"My husband sent me a message…" Yuko said getting the only person in the room attention.

"Really! It's been 11 months since he even talked to you…"Kushina paused narrowing her eyes with a scowl on her face as she had a nagging feeling about what it was. "What did he say…"

"He asked if we can get back together…," Yuko replied as she glanced at her phone once again.

"Are you serious after all this time he has the nerve to ask if you can take him back!" Kushina exclaimed slamming her hands on her desk, taking a deep breath before exhaling. "So…are you going to talk to him about this?"

"I…don't know" the woman answered as she stood up from her seat and walked towards the exit, with Kushina following soon afterward. "I know that he's been seeing another woman behind my back, but…" Yuko paused for second before continuing walking down the empty hall of the school. Classes have already begun the two didn't have assigned homerooms this year so they had sometime in the morning to themselves.

"Kushina, can I tell you something, it's kind of…embarrassing to say this," Yuko stated with a visible blush on her face. Kushina nodded her head slowly, she was anxious to hear what she had to say. Her friend glanced down the hallways to make sure no one was around to overhear her, before leaning in towards the redhead.

"At Yuriko's daughter party a few weeks ago, I meet someone." Yuko whispered as Kushina eyes widen as she mouths 'no'. The woman nodded her head 'yes' as she giggled behind her hand while her friend stared in shock.

"You meet someone, did you…you know?" Kushina could not help but ask as her eyes widen further as her friend shifted in place bashfully her cheeks pink from the memory.

"I did. Normally I wouldn't have done anything like that, but after realizing that my husband has been cheating, I thought why can't I have some fun? So, after some flirting, we ended up doing it in one of the second-floor bathrooms at Yuriko's home." Yuko let out a small squeal as the memory replayed in her mind, after all, she only had sex with her husband, so something like bathroom sex was rather foreign and exciting to her. If she was honest to herself, it was some of the best sex she ever had.

"Well, I'm happy for you Yuko…" Kushina stated slowly, giving her friend a nervous smile, she never expected her friend to bounce back like that. While she wouldn't say Yuko was a prude, she was rather on the conservative side so hearing she had great bathroom sex with what can be considered a complete stranger was…odd, to say the least. Still hearing this made Kushina feel lonely, bitter and a bit jealous of Yuko. "So, are you dating this guy now?"

"Actually…" Yuko smile turned into a small frown, uh oh, she didn't like where this is going. "I have been trying to call him but he hasn't been answering much. Every time he does, he keeps saying that he is busy with work. I'm sure he will call when he isn't so caught up with work." Yuko said as smiled reassuringly at her friends, who couldn't help but pity her friend. The two resumed their walk as Kushina tried to bring up the fact that the man she slept with had used her for a one-night stand.

"I'll probably tell my husband that I'm going through with the divorce," Yuko mentioned as the redhead grabbed her shoulders.

"Yuko, I think you should talk things out with your husband," Kushina told her with a serious look on her face.

"What are you talking about, Kushina? Didn't you say that he was just a pig who dumped me because of some skank who was willing to give him some" Yuko stated, Kushina flinched as she began to sweat a bit, she did say that about him amongst other rather inappropriate things.

"I-I know but still divorce is a rather big deal," Kushina paused as she thought of something to say, she didn't want her friend to get her hopes up with some guy who had just used her for sex. She also didn't want he friend to get back together with her husband who abandoned his family for some woman who dumped him.

"What about your son how would he feel about you seeing someone soon after ending your marriage." Was it low to bring in her son? Yes, it was, however, she refused to allow her friend to get hurt like this.

"…Maybe your right, I don't think Takashi would be happy if just start dating all of sudden. I'm sure your son wouldn't either. I'll call my husband so we can meet and talk about this and see how things go from there."

"Exactly, you don't have to get back together right away, just talk to him. If you don't think it can work then go ahead and divorce him but why not play the field a little before you try for a long term relationship with someone you never went on a date with."

"Yeah, true, when was the last time I went out on a date? Who knows if things don't work out maybe we can try double dating some time." Yuko said excitedly at her idea as Kushina gawked at her, "You don't have to give me that look, what's wrong with going on a double date?"

"It's not the double date, it's the whole dating thing…I'm not really into dating right now…" Kushina admitted as Yuko huffed her cheeks at the woman.

"Oh, come on Kushina, when was the last time you went out on a date." Definitely over a year, but that didn't stop the last guy from calling her every so often, some people can't take a hint. "Don't you want someone to be there when you get home, don't you want someone to cuddle with? To be there when you're in need."

"I already have Naruto-kun for that." Kushina mention as she felt annoyed by the conversation, Yuko shook her head.

"You're not dating your son, Kushina. As much as you hate to admit it, you're not getting any younger. Don't you want someone to spend time with? Naruto isn't going to be around forever so you need to get back out there if not for yourself then for your son. He wouldn't want you to be lonely, he would want you to have been with someone you care about."

'Then you obviously never met my son, Yuko…' Kushina thought as gave Yuko a dull look, it wasn't a secret that her son hated pretty much every guy she tried to date, heck she ended dates because he didn't like them. The redhead recalled a moment when one of her dates insulted her son in front of her and she kicked him in the balls before knocking him out with an uppercut leaving him the bill. Naruto was the most important thing to her; she trusted his judgment above everyone else's. Besides, what was wrong with cuddling and going on dates with her son?

"If I say I would think about it, will you drop it?" Kushina muttered as she wanted this conversation to end as Yuko glared at her but dropped the subject for now. The two then noticed that three people in suits were coming in their direction, two were young males and an older woman in her 50's. Two members of the group were familiar to them, the woman was the principal of the school and one of the males was actually Kushina's teacher aid that just came out of college. Who was glaring at the man as he walked behind him

"That's him!" Yuko whispered to Kushina a large smile on her face. "That's the guy I met at the party!" Kushina looked at the group with wide eyes, as she eyed the new male coming towards them. He had slick black hair, with rectangle shaped glasses and was somewhat pale in her opinion.

"Ah, Uzumaki-sensei, Komuro-sensei, surprising to see you two wondering the halls now, normally you two would have been in the faculty office." The woman stated as the two mothers bowed greeting their boss.

"Yea, I was feeling a little stuffy so we felt the need to stretch our legs before next period," Yuko replied as she shyly brushed her hair back as she glanced at the pale man, who didn't seem to acknowledge her. Kushina mentally scowled as she had a feeling that something like this would happen.

"Anyways, I should introduce you two to this young man next to me this is-" The woman went to introduce the man but was stopped by him, lifting his hand up as glanced at the woman with an apologetic smile.

"Actually, I would prefer to introduce myself if you don't mind." The man stated as the woman bowed letting him go ahead. "My name is Aramaki Shido; I'm the newest member of the school board. I hope we can get along." Aramaki said with the fakest smile Kushina ever saw in her life, he extended his arm towards her ignoring Yuko who just stared at him trying to get him to stare at her. Kushina forced her mouth to smile at him as she gave his hand a quick shake before dropping it just as fast.

"Unfortunately, the two of us should be heading off now, it was nice to meet you Shido-san but we really need to get going." Kushina wasted no time grabbing her friend wrist and physically dragged her away ignoring her protest.

"Kushina what are you doing I wanted to talk to him," Yuko whispered as low as she could manage so that the others couldn't hear.

"Yuko…It would probably be best if you never talk to that man ever again." The redhead stated as she moved as fast as she could without hesitation, the moment she touched the man's hand she felt sick to her stomach as if her gut was telling her that man was all kinds of wrong.

Aramaki stared at them as they pretty much ran away from the scene with a blank stare, leaving the group slightly confused at their actions.

"Shido-san, I apologize about Uzumaki-sensei's behavior she has always been an odd one." The woman said giving the man a deep bow, Aramaki chuckled as he adjusted his glasses with a single hand.

"It's fine really." Aramaki looked back at the group, more importantly at the redhead retreating form. "Still she is a rather interesting woman."

"Oh, she is, it's a shame about what happened to her husband to be widowed at such a young age…" the woman mentioned with a sad sigh, as Aramaki looked her with a glint in his eye. "That poor woman been raising her son all by herself, I don't think she's been in a relationship since."

"Really? So, she isn't dating anyone right now?" Aramaki asked with a clear interest in his voice as the other male glared at the man harder.

"Yes, she still single. Why are you interested? Well, I cannot blame you she is still a rather beautiful woman." The woman said with a slight giggle as the Shido glanced down the hall once again before licking his lips with a sinister smile on his face. "Well, let resume the tour, shall we?"

Aramaki Shido followed the principal as he tuned out whatever the old hag was saying with his mind going back to the redhead. Looks like he had found himself an interesting target, maybe he can get his father to drop those stupid marriage meetings? Nah, after all, what was wrong with having a mistress or three. Those dumb bastards were already offering their daughters to him might as well take a couple for the road. After all his father said, a Shido shouldn't settle for mediocrity they deserve the best and should take it by force if necessary.


Man, long chapter, not as much progress as I hope, to be honest, I didn't expect Saya birthday to be that long, I wanted to at the very least end the first year before heading into year two that will be a lot shorter than originally planned. A lot of stuff happened this chapter, The lovers getting cock block twice by the same person, Finding Kushina's porno stash, Rei's father and Naruto knowing each other. Saeko's mom is interested in the blond in more ways than one, Souichiro is not really in charge of his group, Shido's father and brother being introduced and the Uzumaki's finding out about the arranged marriage. A lot of the thing happened, and some future villain/psychopaths in this chapter too.

This chapter was in completed in less than 3 months in terms of me writing it down, trying to work on my writing speed by writing at least 1k a day, not working out so well. This is mostly because my job likes making me work 6 days+ in a row leaving me little time to write, so I try to at least plan everything out ahead of time so I can write it down. I hope to have at least a good chunk of the next chapter out by the time this comes out.

Why, Cause it's my B-day next month and I want to give everyone a present, I want to do a massive upload. I hope I can get another chapter done for this story and a few new stories to go up as well. At least this is the plan, cause I have been on this site since I was in my second year of high school which was before I even posted my first story. And I'm closing in on a decade of being a member of this site, this being my 8th going to 9th year, god I feel old.

And I know one of the biggest complaints, besides my bad grammar, is the slow pace of the story, I will like to apologize, I'm trying to move this along as fast as possible and I cut something off from this chapter in the process. I hope I can make them into omake's later in the story. Next chapter is finally the end of year one with the beginning of year two and closer to the end. Also, Yuriko's gift to her daughter was an eroge about-well you get the picture.

Anyways, I want to address a few things to close out this author note and hope you enjoyed the introduction/ cameo of Alice, Takashi, and Rika.

(1) a swarmer is boxing fighting style that is also called an in-fighter that focuses on getting close to your opponent and apply constant pressure to them with a flurry of punches.

(2) The harem as of this moment...I will not say anything about the harem mostly for my own safety, jk. I doing this because I want the other girls to at least show up before updating anything so until the end of year two...wait, no just Yuuki, Toshimi, Misuzu and Rei's mother Kiriko left to be introduced...in term of girls anyways. Also, Kyoko does not have a ring on her finger anymore. Wonder why...

(3) Yuko is Takashi's mom, no one commented on it so...I'm sure she made an appearance even if it's just her body in chapter 30 of the manga. This is just an assumption on my part.

(4) The original version of this story is ranked third in terms of review, and this is ranks 12 maybe I can get this into the top 10 soon.

(5) The last one, a reviewer said that is should 'maybe open a to get something back for the hard work I'm doing', I will say that's flattering but I won't. I don't think my work is good enough nor do I update fast enough to warrant it. Besides Pretty sure no will join and what can I offer for tiers, early access to the chapter or access to lemons? Nah, you guys get everything for free.

Big shout out again to Jangoman1579 for being my beta, and shoutout to some specific reviewer/readers. DarkShadowRaven, G28, War Sage, Okushi and Elchabon.

If you have a question just send me a review or a pm i will try to answer as soon as possible.

And, like always any feedback, suggestion, or critics will be appreciated, I really want to make this story as great as possible.

Also thanks to all for reading this chapter.

So until we meet again, farewell
