I need to know where you want to go next so I can write it. You don'T know how frustrated I am. So I give you people until friday to vote and then I will start writing the chap no matter how many voted.


One year has gone by and it was time for Naruto to return to seireitei. As conditioned he had send a monthly report and even send photos with it. Some of these photos were made public and one was especially popular, Naruto wearing swimming gear being glomped by two busty beach girls, the best of it he was totally stoic, not even the slightest blush or smile was seen on his face. Most people voted him into the top ten of the most stoic shinigami where e placed first after the captain of the fifth division, but that wasn't the problem. The moment Naruto returned there was mayhem in seireitei. He looked at his travelling companion and this one just shrugged his shoulders. They took of towards seireitei. When they came to the west gate they saw the guard fighting a shinigami. Jidanbou was clearly overpowered. He lost and opened the gate while Naruto and his companion were watching. As soon as the gate opened there was a crash and the gate keeper was blasted backward. The giant was soon treated by an orange haired girl. This was the moment Naruto choose to make contact.

''May I inquire why you want to get into seireitei?''

The group whirled around to face him and his friend. A particular stupid looking kid with shinigami robes and bright orange hair stepped forward and drew his sword.

Naruto sighed. He had expected as much.

''I have no ill intentions towards your group. I have been away for a year and just want information of what is going on.''

Then another person stepped forth. He wore a white cape and had blue hair and glasses.

'At least someone thats slightly looking like he's competent.'

''We are living people seeking to rescue our friend held prisoner in seireitei. We are not allowed here because we still live. What do you want to do now?''

Naruto turned to his redheaded friend and sighed again.

''Considering you are alive and shinigami rule says we don't hurt the living except in special cases and I don't have orders from the soutaichou. I will do nothing. For my friend here. He will come with you because he is interested in you and that means I have to come to because I am his guardian.''

The group before them was stunned. He just had given a really dump explanation why he would go with them without as much as batting an eyelash, and even used his friend that hasn't even said a word so far. Then Naruto bowed.

''My name is Gekido Kaze. Please don't use honorifics while addressing me because I hate them.''

Naruto had grown and was now standing at 1,85m. His boyish features had matured and were worthy of a grown and handsome men like him. His ears tails and eyes were hidden behind a technique he brought back from hell so they couldn't b seen. Also his crimson haori was stuffed inside a big pocket in his shinigami robes.

Just then the red head behind Kaze bowed.

''My Name is Gale. Pleased to make your acquaintance.''

Gale was a big man with 1,90m. His windswept red hair and his glowing golden eyes didn't help his image as a trustworthy person. He wore a red coat with a black t-shirt and black pants. All in all he looked like he was a bounty hunter from a cheap movie.

The glasses wearing boy was still stunned so a cat hopped from his shoulder and began to speak in a deep and manly voice.

''My name is Yoruichi an...''

Before Yoruichi could speak further gale began to have what seemed like an heart attack or something because of the speaking cat.

''WHAT THE …? God man it's a freaking speaking cat. Just wait till I tell the others what I've seen dude!''

Naruto took all of this in without even twitching once. He just stood there not at all impressed with what was happening.

''Gale would you please let the cat introduce everyone else. We don't have time to lose.''

With that gale shut up and pouted like a little girl because his friend was someone that would suck all the fun out of life.

Yoruichi was genuinely impressed with the blond shinigami in front of her. He hadn't given any indication of emotion the whole time he had made himself known and it was irking her to no end that he smelled of fox.

''As I was saying, the guy with the glasses is Ishida Uryu. The girl with the orange hair is Orihime Inoue. The Mexican giant is Sado Yasutora but we call him Chad. Since we can't go through the gate we will have to take the other way. All of you follow me.''

Yoruichi began walking to the end of the town with the others and two guests following.

After a rather long walk they arrived at... two hands. For the second time on this day Uryu and Ichigo were speechless and Naruto was looking like he had seen nothing special. He was the first one to try and go on between the arms.

''Someone trys to enter the mistress house.''

''This one must be punished.''

Naruto had stopped to see where the voices where coming from. Suddenly there was a burst of smoke in front of him and two ridiculous looking people came out of it and made a weird pose.

''We are the gate guardians of our beloved mistress Shiba Kukaku.''

''We will repel every hostile intruder for her sake''

''We are..

..Koganehiko and Shiruganehiko Brothers of Destruction.''

''We are..

While the others shielded their eyes from this display or just gawked like fishes Naruto was staring with a totally emotionless face. And he stared and stared ans stared and stared.

Finally the twins broke down.

''Please forgive us we won't do it again!''

''We will be as docile as kittens please don't hurt us!''

Yoruichi couldn't take it anymore and broke down in laughter. Never had she seen such an emotionless stare break downpeople before, not even her former apprentice Kuchiki Bakuya could do that. Gekido Kaze was a figure to be recognized.

''Yoruichi-dono? Is that you?''

Seemed like they finally recognized her but what happened next she didn't expect.

The two giants tried to hide behind her back!.

''Please protect us Yoruichi-dono.''

''He will hurt us if you don't do it Yoruichi-dono''

''Ma ma boys he won't hurt you he is just here to observe.''

The twins looked hopefully at her ''Really?''

''Really.''

As soon as the word left her mouth they were standing and asking the group to follow the down a long and winded staircase. Meanwhile Yoruichi perched herself on the shoulders of the blond shinigami.

''What is the real reason for following us?''

Without looking Naruto answered. ''You could come and destroy al soul society it wouldn't even get a twitching out of me but if you dare lay one hand on the people I hold precious you will die a fate even worse than hell.''

The way Naruto gave out his thread wasn't boasting around what he would do. It was a fact in all its glory stated without exaggerating a bit.

''And who are these people?''

''My Zanpakuto, s much as it pains me to say it Gale and Soi-Fon-taichou.''

Yoruichi perked up at the last name.

'So Soi-Fon has found such a cute boyfriend. To bad he is more serious than she is but we can change that.'

''I know Soi-Fon.''

With a simple sentence the women turned cat broke loose something akin to an erupting volcano. Immensely fascinating but in the end deadly. His face suddenly held the look of interest and curiosity and then he opened his mouth.

''From when? Do you know what colour ,flower, day, holiday, animal, lunch breakfast drink she likes?''

Behind them gale had closed his eyes and was shivering as if he was naked on the north pole. Orihime bowed down and patted his back.

''I everything alright Gale-kun?''

He looked at her absolute terror in his eyes.

''Kaze shows emotion! It is the end of the world as we know it! Something terribly cruel will happen and we can do nothing about it!''

The others except Naruto that was holding Yoruichi in his death grip and bombarding her with questions and Yoruichi as described were looking at gale as if he was crazy.

Uryu tried to argument ''I have seen he is not the type to let emotions out but that is to much.''

Gale countered ''You don't understand! I have known him for almost a year now and he hasn't even twitched the slightest bit. My sister said he was like that the six years before we met to! And now he is interested in something! Something bad is gonna happen!''


Yoruichi was flabbergasted. Never had she seen someone so interested in her pupil. He was asking her things like what kind of wood Soi-Fon liked. The one without even the slightest hint of emotion became annoying as hell when just a name is mentioned.

''Could you cut it out? If you want to know all that as her yourself.''

Kaze finally let her go and she landed on the ground with feline grace. She looked at the group and saw Gale looking as if he had seen a ghost.

''What happened to him?''

Orihime still patting Gales back answered.

''It seems Kaze-kun in the seven years Gale-kun knows of him never showed any kind of emotion and now he thinks its Armageddon.''

'Seven years and not a hint of emotion and then such an outburst. Furthermore he is a shinigami but I can't sense the slightest trail of reiatsu on him. I have to look out for this one.'

''Can we go now. If you have to drag the scaredy cat.''

That hurt. Gale had been ridiculed his whole life by his older siblings especially by his sister but now to even be scoffed at by a talking cat. He got onto his feet an continued walking.


''You know we will ease her into this and if you storm her like that she will refuse.''

'I don't want it awkward like back then.

Kyuubi could remember what her mother had done back in Makai when she decided Naruto would be her husband.

++Flashback++

Six month in hell had gone by and Naruto was progressing good. In the last six month he hadn't heard of Kyuubi because his sword had been taken from him when he first entered the lower levels of hell.

Kyuubi meanwhile had been given a faux body ( Like Uraharas dummy but not time limited.) and had lived with her family in the castle doing business as queen of hell. She had been forbidden by her mother to go see Naruto, when she said she was the queen and not her mother it was totally ignored. Now she missed him more than ever and was determined to tell her mother everything. Getting up to search for her she found her in the ball room.

''Mother.''

''What is it dear?''

Feeling the lump in her throat she swallowed. ''I want to see Naruto.''

''I said you won't interact with this shinigami more than necessary!''

''You don't understand I need to see him!''

Sira looked at her daughter. Kyuubi never had this desperate look in her eyes before. '' And why do yo need to see him?''

Kyuubi began fitchiting and making nervous gestures like she didn't want to talk about this particular topic. '' I … I don't really know how to explain it.'' A pause followed in which Kyuubi scraped all her courage together. ''I feel lonely, like I am missing a part of myself. Its like a need to be near him. I can't describe it good but …'' Just then she looked at her mother and saw Sira smirking and it send shivers down Kyuubis spine.

''You were always my good little girl and I had hoped to see the day it happened.''

Now Kyuubi was confused. ''What happened?''

Siras smirk only grew wider the more Kyuubi looked confused. ''You know we female Demons mate with one male only for our entire life right?'' Kyuubi nodded. The mating pact was well known to her. ''For you it seems to be time and you already have chosen your partner!''

Kyuubis mind processed the words her mother had said. 'Lifetime mate. Its time. Partner already chosen.' As everything was registered she couldn't help it and fainted.

Sira caught her daughter and told one of the Servants to send for the shinigami and let him bring to Kyuubis bed room While she herself carried her daughter to her bed.

Half an hour later a sweating and desperate looking Shinigami burst through the door of Kyuubis bedroom. When he saw Sira he ran to her and almost screamed.

''What happened to her? Is she injured,ill or is something else wrong with her please tell me!''

Sira gestured him to sit down and be quiet.

''First of all I have to introduce myself. My Name is Sira and I am the mother of Kyuubi. It was just a shock and she should be alright in an hour or so. For what I let you into this palace is simple. You are about to become the juubi.''

Naruto looked at the older version of Kyuubi clad in a modest looking Kimono.

''What the fuck does that mean!''

Sira chuckled. It seemed Naruto was also in love with her daughter and both hadn't even realized it. This would be so much fun.

''What do you think of my daughter?''

Naruto had expected many things but this was definitely not one of them. What did he think of Kyuubi? That was a good question but he didn't know the answer. So he told her what he felt whenever he was near her.

'' I can't answer that question directly but when she is near I feel at peace. Whenever I know she is not there it is like part of me is missing but not just any part but the one I value more than any other. She is important, more important than even she might believe. As I aid I can't explain it to well.''

Sira nodded. To explain feelings is something nobody is able to but he gave her an good outline.

''In other words you would most likely kill yourself before being apart from her.''

''Yes''

''Then why didn't you once complain about it when you were separated in the beginning of your training?''

''I knew I would see her again. She had promised me we would go back together so I had faith in her. There was no other reason.''

Sira had to hold back from laughing out loud. This kid in front of her was so damn innocent and deeply in love and he didn't have the slightest clue.

''I have decided to give you the hand of my daughter in marriage.''

How she had waited to say that and then see the reaction of the shinigami.

Naruto on the other hand had stopped all thought process. He was frozen. Sira gave him a slap after ten minutes and when he began to think again he fainted.

Sira had been trying for ten minutes to get the blond out of his frozen state and only succeeded when she slapped him. When he fainted a plan formed in her head. She picked up the blond undressed him to his boxers and tucked him next to Kyuubi in her bed.


The next morning.

Kyuubi woke up with a swelling feeling in her chest. She hadn't slept that good in a long time. She had felt protected and warm. Then the memories of the day before hit her. Her mother told her she was in love with the one she had been sealed in. She tried to stand up and was alerted when she heard someone beside her.

''only five more minutes Gale.''

She looked and without even really seeing the person she did what every good female did in her situation she screamed and started to kick the living shit out of the one beside her.

Sira who sat in the dining room having breakfast began to grin. 'So she found my little present.'

Back in the bedroom the guards looked at Kyuubi who was kicking someone between his legs without even looking at him. The guards winced. The queen had gone to bed still dressed, that means high heels were getting rammed in the offenders balls with a strength you really don't wish to know. When she tired herself out she looked at the one she had punished for sneaking into the queens quarters and gasped. Naruto lay there crying like a little baby.

''Naruto! I am sorry sorry. What are you doing in my bed? Ah no time. Guards!''

The guards saluted the best they could while still protecting their groin.

''Yes Milady!''

''Bring him to the Doctor and make sure everything is alright. I have to find mother.''

The Guards took Naruto away from the queens quarters into the medical wing of the palace.

Sira stood in the hallway and watched the guards drag Naruto away.

Then she entered the bedroom.

''It seems my son-in-law has gotten a thorough beating from you.''

Kyuubi glared at her mother.

''Don't look at me like that. I thought you would be happy to wake up with him but instead you could be happy when he still functions alright.''

Kyuubi blushed. Never she would forgive her mother for at least not warning her.

''When he is alright come to my chambers with him. We got much to discuss.''

An hour later Naruto was released from the medical ward with the warning to never piss of the Queen ever again. When a messenger came up to him.

''Please report immediately to the chambers of the Queens mother.''

Naruto began limping towards his new destination.


When he arrived he saw Kyuubi gaping at her mother like she was some kinda fish on land. Had he known what Sira had said moments before he too would have the same expression.

She had explained the rules of being married to Kyuubi.

Rule Number One: The male that marries the Queen of hell will automatically become the only Juubi.

Rule Number Two: The Juubi will have a harem of at least five.

Rule Number Three: The Queen has to be the only demon in the Harem the others have to come from other races.

Rule Number Four: If Juubi wants to add someone to the harem the Queen had to give her consent.

Ten minutes later Naruto was mimicking Kyuubi. Sira just smirked. ''I know you two are probably the most innocent people in the whole of Makai. That is why...'' Sira walked over to the door. ''..you will remain here till you accept what I decided.'' With that she closed the door behind her and locked it. Unfortunately for Naruto and Kyuubi these doors where there for security purpose so once locked nothings gets in and more importantly nothing gets out.

So three days with these two pacing in the room sleeping and not even looking at one another.

Naruto was gathering al his courage and looked Kyuubi right in the eyes. ''Kyuubi I want you to know she was right. I like you but there is also someone else I like. You two are more important to me than everybody else. I don't know about the whole Juubi and the other stuff but I will comply with your mothers wishes if you agree after my revenge.''

Kyuubi who had looked hopeful throughout the speech cast her gaze down after the last sentence.

''Naruto. I will agree but think about it, the girl back then did everything she could for peace and I think yo don't need to avenge her. She would have been disgusted with your current ambitions.''

Narutos look hardened. He couldn't deny her reasoning. ''I won't persuade my revenge anymore but the moment I get a chance I will kill him.''

''That is good enough for me because now you are ready...''

++End Flashback++

'We started dating a few weeks after that.'

''Yes but that was one of the most embarrassing experiences I have ever had.''

While Naruto was thinking about the past he missed an interesting conversation between the cat and a one armed woman. Only when Kukaku addressed him directly he was ripped out of his thoughts.

''Whats your name and what is your division?''

Naruto blinked once blinked twice before he even processed the question was directed at him.

''My Name is Gekido Kaze. I barely had a passing grade in academy thats why I was on a year long trainings journey. Currently I only answer to the soutaichou or Soi-Fon-taichou. But it is bad manners to ask others for their name before introducing yourself.''

Kukaku looked surprised and then turned to yoruichi.

''Has he been sleepwalking? He would have gotten my name more than once.''

''I think he knows your name and just wants you to be polite.''

Kukaku slammed her fist over his head. ''If you know who I am then don't ask like your an idiot. Follow me folks I will show you to *the Cannon*''

With that they left the room and followed towards a room with a black pillar in the middle.

''Guys get the baby here up.''

Fro somewhere above came a loud reply. Then the floor began rumbling and the ceiling started to get nearer.

On the surface you could see the tower that stood behind the unusual house was actually the black pillar in front of them.

''This is the one and only incredible Kukaku cannon . This is your ticket into seireitei.''

Uryu the naturally curious one couldn't help but ask. ''And how should this cannon help us? If this is a cannon you don't mean to shoot us straight through the Forcefield!''

''Now you told everybody. I wanted to say it myself.''

To see the confident looking Kukaku pouting like a child would have been funny for Ichigo if not for the reason why she was pouting.

''You mean you were planning to SHOOT us into seireitei!?''

'' I weren't planning. I am planning to shoot you. The plan still stands.''

''You can't be fucking seri..''

Before Ichigo could end that sentence he was bashed in the head by a projectile thrown by Kukaku and caught by Naruto.

''I am serious. You will use a special cannonball not to be obliterated by the forcefield. You will train with this Reisyukaku to form it, just pump your reiatsu in it.''

Naruto that was holding on to the sphere started pumping just as she said but she never said how big the ball should be and that was her mistake.

The ball of pure reiatsu expanded farther and farther. And showed no signs of stopping.

''You goddamn idiot how should this fit into the cannon. Make it smaller and reduce your output or you will crush us all.''

Kukaku was furious. This newbie of a shinigami didn't even do so much as twitch and it was grating her nerves at an indescribable rate. ''That is alright. The others will train and tomorrow you will fly.''

Naruto looked as she went her way. He excused himself , he would meditate until tomorrow as not to disturb the others training.

Finding a clearing not to far away he sat down and dove into his mindscape where his most loved person waited for him.

''So what do you make of these kids Na-chan?''

''They are strong especially the Ichigo kid and from the cat I can sense power even it yoruichi trys to suppress it. They all need training to further refine their abilities but this isn't the reason I came here.''

''I know but I was curious.''

Naruto dragged Kyuubi in his lap and they cuddled just content to be near each other.
