Chapter 9: The contest begins
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto but many guys want him
Mira: Hey everyone. It's been so long. I'm sorry, I've been swamped with school and it sux. I barely have time to myself, all work and no play makes Mira normal and that's no fun. (having 7 other personalities isn't exactly sane to the world, screw the world) Anyway, I finally got time to write this chapter and my other story don't know when I will get that down. I hate my family but I gotta stay here until I get a job and enough money to move out.
Shadow: their fucking annoying
Maya: I agree
Mira: I know, and my new step family went into my room to fucking clean it and now I don't know where anything is. 1. I hate people going into my room without permission 2. It's my room, my privacy and I can do whatever I want with it. 3. I hate when people touch my stuff and move it so now I can't find anything. It's messed up and I'm missing money.
Maya: That's not right.
Shadow: you should kill them
Mira: Ok I'm not gonna do that...well not in real life but in my dreams I will. Wait Shadow didn't you come out and started trashing the place
Shadow: heehee yea. That was fun.
Mira: not when i got in trouble for it
Shadow: not my fault we share the same body and you're fucked up in the head.
Mira: Asshole. Anyway hope you all like the story. Sorry if it's a little rush. I tried to get it here as fast as possible. Enjoy
~~~~~~~(side conversation)~~~~~~~~
Shadow: you're still insane
Mira: not insane just not user-friendly
Shadow: doesn't that even make sense
Mira: yes it does.
The sun rose up and glisten through the trees of the forest. Animals and plants wake up and greet the sun. It was going to a fun and beautiful day or at least for some it would. But in the werewolf village that lied in the middle of the forest, a blonde fox demon sat on his bed, fumbling with his the bottom of his shirt and staring at nothing.
Naruto was nervous and cursed that the sun rose up. For it means it was the next day, the day when the contest for his heart to being. He couldn't sleep that night when reality finally hit him and he realizes what was going on. 'Great' he thought 'two weeks with perverts' He wasn't quite sure why he agreed to the contest but now he can't take it back. Maybe he can get something out of the deal, maybe once he choose a mate, he can convince him to let him find his family. Naruto grinned at the idea.
He got out of bed with a sigh. He then walked over to the closet and picked out his outfit for the day. He smiled as he looked at all the section. He will have to thank Iruka later for everything. Since Gaara was in the run he couldn't stay over there, it wouldn't be fair to the others and probably not safe. Iruka agreed to take him in. Kakashi and Iruka shared the same room while Naruto took the spare. Already seeing Iruka as more like a mother than father, the night before he glared and threaten Kakashi if he ever hurt Iruka or did anything Iruka didn't want, he would personally kick his ass and make him wish he was never born. Kakashi just smiled under his mask and nodded saying, he would never dream of hurting his little dolphin or doing anything he didn't want, with a grin and an unknown glint in his eye which Naruto knew was Kakashi being perverted. Sometimes it pays hanging around Jiraiya.
After a quick shower, Naruto got ready for the day. He wore a pair of tight ripped knee jeans, which coincidently showed off his ass, and an orange top. He loves Iruka for getting him the orange shirt. Today he would spend the day with all five contestants. They already worked out a schedule. The first day he would spend two hours with each male then the days after that he would spend one whole day with one. The 7th day he would have the day off from the contest but any of the contestants could come and see him. Naruto got confused when Ino and Temari explained it all. Hinata smiled at Naruto and wrote it down for him so he knew. It was like this:
Monday: 10:00-12:00 with Itachi, 12:00-2:00 with Sasuke, 2:00-4:00 with Neji, 4:00-6:00 with Sai and 6:00-8:00 with Gaara.
Tuesday: Sasuke
Wednesday: Neji
Thursday: Itachi
Friday: Gaara
Saturday: Sai
Sunday: Break, but any males are allowed to see you.
Week 2:
Monday: Gaara
Tuesday: Itachi
Wednesday: Sai
Thursday: Sasuke
Friday: Neji
Saturday: Every man for himself
Sunday: Spend time with all men. Contest is over, pick mate.
Naruto read it over and sighed. It's going to be two hell weeks. Once all fixed up he left the room for breakfast. He went into the kitchen and saw Iruka putting plates on the table. The brown werewolf looked at Naruto and smiled.
"Ohayo Naruto" Iruka said.
"Ohayo" Naruto replied. "What's for breakfast? Is it ramen?" He sat down at the table, hoping to get his precious ramen.
Iruka shook his head, "Nope no ramen today, you're going to have a healthy meal today" he said and place a plate with bacon, eggs, and toast. There was also a bowl next to the plate full of all kinds of fruit and there was a glass of orange juice and milk.
Naruto looked at the food as if it was disgusting. He looked at Iruka "But ramen is healthy" Naruto argued and whined.
"No it's not now eat and don't give me those eyes. I'm immune now"
'Damn' the blonde thought. He then crossed his arms and leaned back against the chair, pouting. "I rather go without food then" He knew Iruka would never let him go hungry so he had to give him ramen if nothing else. He grinned he would win, he knew he would. All of a sudden he felt a chill run up his spine and felt tension in the air. He looked over and says Iruka with a dark aura surrounding him. For once since he known Iruka he felt fear of the man. Iruka's eyes were hidden, his fist her clinched and shaking. Naruto wanted to get out of there now. But before he could make a dash for it, Iruka burst.
"NARUTO YOU WILL EAT THIS FOOD OR SO HELP ME I WILL SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!!!" Iruka yelled so hard that the whole forest could hear him.
Naruto shook his head furiously and started digging in.
Iruka started calming down from his little burst. He saw Naruto eating and drinking everything. He smiled and was glad that he listened even if he had to threaten the boy.
Kakashi woke up after all the commotion, who wouldn't. He walked into the room and saw Naruto practically inhaling the food and Iruka watching him. He felt a bit sorry for the boy, his Iruka can be quite scary sometimes but still he never seen Iruka act like this. He was acting like a mother. That made Kakashi think and slowly daydreaming of seeing Iruka rubbing his pregnant belly and then it switch to Iruka holding two babies and looking at them like any mother would. He snapped out of his daydream, and grin perverted. Getting someone pregnant means having sex and lots of it. He walked over to Iruka and grabbed him, then pulled the surprised brunette away into their bedroom. Kakashi knew if he wanted Iruka to be pregnant that the best time would be mating season but that was less than 2 weeks away. But that didn't mean you would try till then.
Naruto stopped eating when he heard Iruka. He looked over and saw Kakashi pulling away a surprised and then ranting Iruka. He sighed in relief, he for once was glad for Kakashi's pervertness. He heard a knock on the door and went to go answer it. When he opened the door, he was met with a bouquet of roses. He was surprised at first then looked to see who it was behind the flowers and saw Itachi.
"Itachi?" he asked surprised.
"Yes, I am here for our date" Itachi said smoothly.
"Date?" Naruto forgot about it after Iruka went crazy on him.
"Aw don't tell me you forgotten our date already" Itachi said in a hurt tone.
"N-no I was merely testing you and heehee you passed" Naruto quickly lied nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Here let me put these in some water so they last longer" Naruto said, taking the flowers and putting them in a vase with water. He got anything else he need and went back out to Itachi.
"Are you ready then?" Itachi asked,
Naruto looked up at Itachi and nearly fainted. He didn't get a good look at Itachi before because of the flowers but now that he could see him, he was fucking hot. Itachi wore a tight black shirt with a fishnet shirt underneath, showing off his tight abs, and a pair of black pants. His hair was the same but in a way it was different. His whole being seemed like it shined in the light and gave off a soft but dangerous aura. Naruto almost drooled at the sight.
Itachi smirked; Naruto was staring at his with big bright eyes and was drooling slightly. He was glad to get this reaction out of the blonde. That means he was already ahead into winning the blonde's heart.
"Naruto I would appreciate it if you stop drooling" Itachi said smugly.
Naruto blinked, coming back to reality. He quickly realized what he was doing and turned away. He wiped the drool away from his mouth. He was blushed a deep red, he couldn't believe what he was doing.
Itachi stared at the blonde and smirked. He wanted to mess with the blonde even more.
"I know I am sexy but please try not to jump me while on our date unless you want to skip it all and choose me"
Naruto blushed deeper. "S-shut up! Let's go" he said and walked away. Itachi smirked and followed. It was fun messing with the blonde, not to mention cute when he blushes.
Itachi took Naruto to a waterfall nearby. They played in the water for some time and then Itachi showed Naruto a hidden cave behind the waterfall. It took them to a cavern with crystals covering the walls and ceiling of the cave, making it sparkly and shine. Naruto loved it and wanted to explore more and although Itachi wanted too, he knew to get Naruto back on time otherwise he would be in a lot of trouble.
"But Itachi I want to see more" Naruto whined.
Itachi smirked, "Oh don't worry you will, I promise but have to get you back. Lest I have to deal with the mother-hen" he means Iruka. He knew what that man can do if Naruto is harmed. Naruto too knew what Iruka could do and he knew that he would be in trouble too. He quickly nodded and they both left and went back to the village.
It was noon when they got back and Naruto was quickly taken away by the youngest Uchiha brother, Sasuke.
Sasuke didn't know what to do as a date at first. It was getting close to his time with the blonde kitsune and he still didn't have a plan on how too woo Naruto. Out of all options he swallowed his pride and asked the girls for help. He was shocked and a little suspicious on how well they cooperated. They suggest that because of the time he would have Naruto they suggest Sasuke make a picnic and take Naruto to the clearing, west from the village and eat there. Sasuke thought that idea was stupid but since he couldn't think of anything better he decided to go for it.
He tugged Naruto along to follow him.
"Oi teme where are we going?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke smirked, "You'll see" he replied.
Naruto huffed and pouted but nonetheless he followed.
Sasuke got to a clearing about 20 minutes away from the village. There was a large tree in the middle of the clearing. It was blossoming and full of life. Naruto awed at the tree, he has never seen anything like it. It was like this tree was the life force of the forest. It was huge, over 100 feet tall and had to be 50 feet thick all the way around. Its roots and branches twisted and turned, not knowing where they started or ended. Naruto could tell this tree was old and full of wisdom and secrets.
Sasuke smirked at Naruto's bewildment. He could see Naruto was impressed.
"Are you going to gawk all day or com and eat with me, dobe?" Sasuke said.
Naruto snapped back when he heard the insult. "Hey I'm not a dobe, teme!" he yelled.
Sasuke smirked, "Of course your not dobe. Now come on and eat"
Naruto crossed his arms and huffed but still went over to Sasuke.
Sasuke put down a blanket he brought and places it under the tree. He laid the picnic basket in the middle of the blanket. He sat down, leaning against the tree. He looked at Naruto and beckoned him to come over and sit. Naruto was a bit surprised and unsure reluctantly went over and sat down.
The raven boy took out the food from the basket and placed them down. There were rice balls, sandwiches, grilled rabbit meat, different kinds of fruits, and a few sweets like a strawberry cake. Although Sasuke doesn't like sweets that much, he will eat them for Naruto.
As they ate, they talked to each other and asked questions about the other. Naruto learned that Sasuke and Itachi's parent's were murdered by a group of humans call the 'Akatsuki' along with the rest of the Uchiha clan. He, Itachi and Sai were the only ones who survived. Sasuke and Sai were 7 and Itachi was has been taking care of the two since then and started their own clan. Though the hated Sai, they couldn't abandon him. Naruto was so sad for Sasuke, to experience something like that so young. Maybe that is why he acts so cold and emotionless around people. Naruto saw Sasuke in a new light that day.
Their dated was nearly over and when Sasuke took Naruto back to the village, Naruto did something that surprised the raven boy. He kissed him on the cheek. Sasuke froze from the act. Naruto smiled goofy and waved to him as he ran off to his next date.
"I had fun Sasuke. Can't wait for next time" he yelled back before run off.
Sasuke stared off then when he realized what he was doing; he smirked, and today was a good day.
Naruto saw his next date, Neji, standing by Iruka's house. He slowed down to a walking pace and went over to Neji. Neji smiled at Naruto and then bowed.
"You look very beautiful today Naruto-kun" Neji said politely.
Naruto blushed, "thanks. You look good too" he stammered out.
Neji straighten up. "Thank you. So shall we go?"
Naruto nodded and followed the long-haired boy. Neji took Naruto deep into the forest; Naruto was starting to get tired of walking, why did he have to walk so far they have been for 30 minutes. As if Neji could feel Naruto's agitation, he picked the blonde up and held him bridal style. Naruto blushed a deep red.
"H-hey put me down" Naruto said, squirming.
"You're tired, I can tell so I'm carrying you" Neji said.
"I'm fine, really" Naruto tried to resort.
"Of course you are" Neji said sarcastically. Despite Naruto's arguments, he still kept a hold on the blonde and carried him. They kept walking until they reached a hedge that was as high as the trees and stretched out as far as the eye could see.
"We're here" Neji said and set Naruto back on the ground.
Naruto looked at Neji questionably especially when the long-hair boy closed his eyes. When he opened them they looked like veins in his eye and he had weird veins around them. No sooner the giant hedge moved and created a pathway for the two.
"Follow me" Neji said and walked in the path that has opened.
Naruto hesitated a little but followed after. Once they got to the other side, the hedge closed behind them. Naruto looked back a little scared; he looked at Neji, whose eyes were back to normal. Naruto wanted to ask about what happened but Neji seemed to beat him to it.
"My clan has a special trait that is passed on through generation. We have the ability to see at a 360 degree range and we can see through objects and even a far distance. It is called Byakugan" Neji explained.
Naruto stared wide eye at him. Neji was a bit nervous when Naruto didn't say anything. The Byakugan isn't widely liked. It was like the Uchiha's Sharigan. Many creatures thought these powers were dangerous and the ones who possess them. They are widely hated.
"That's so…" Neji waited for the rejection. "…Awesome!" Neji's eyes widen and he looked at the blonde, whose eyes seemed to sparkly in admiration. His tail waved back and forth happily.
"Y-you think so?" Neji asked dumbly.
Naruto nodded his head furiously. "Yes, it's so cool. I wish I had a power like that"
"Thank you"
Naruto tilt his head, "what for?"
"For everything. Come on" he walked away.
Naruto was a little confused by Neji's words but shrugged his head and followed. He'll ask Neji later. Neji led him to a glistering lake, that sparkled like crystal and it was so clear that you could see the bottom and everything that lived inside. Naruto was amazed by the beauty and the fact it was untouched.
Neji smiled, "This place stayed so beauty because only certain people know where it is and less know how to get to it. That hedge protects this place from anyone who wishes to destroy this beauty."
"That's amazing"
"Well are you going to stand there all day or join me" Neji asked his shirt already off. Naruto nearly drooled at the sight but stopped himself before that. He smiled and nodded, joining Neji in taking off their clothes except their boxers and jumping into the water. They spent their time swimming and relaxing. Neji didn't talk much but Naruto didn't mind, he had enjoying Neji's company. Time seemed to go by fast and before they knew it, it was time for them to head back. So they dried themselves and put their clothes back on before heading back to the village.
When they got back, Neji kissed Naruto's hand before saying farewell and left. Naruto stared off at Neji and didn't even notice Sai creeping up on the kitsune.
"Hey there dickless" Sai said in Naruto's ear.
The blonde fox jumped up and screamed like a little girl, I mean a man, a very manly scream. (A/N: yea right). He turned around and saw Sai.
"Sai you jerk. You scared me" Naruto yelled.
Sai still had that fake smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" But his expression did show he was sincere.
"Yea right" Naruto mumbled under his breath and crossed his arms. "So where are we going?" Naruto asked he wanted to see where Sai will take him.
"Why do I have to take you somewhere? We can just make out right here" Sai said.
"You pervert!" Naruto yelled.
Sai chuckled, "I'm merely trying to joke Naru-chan"
The blonde pouted, "Well you failed."
"We can go to my place and what's the word you use, "hang out" I believe" Sai said.
"No way"
"Not even for a Naruto-snack?" Sai asked, holding out a cup of ramen. (A/N: Been watching Scooby-Doo sorry)
The wind blew the smell right to Naruto. He took a deep whiff and drooled. Sai moved it around and wherever it went Naruto's eyes followed. Sai smirked lightly; it really did pay off spying on Naruto last night and this morning. He took the ramen and walked away, loving that Naruto followed dumbly. He took the blonde to the place where he was staying. He locked the door so Naruto couldn't escape.
"Now Naruto if you be a good boy and do everything I tell you I will give you all the ramen you want, ok?" Sai said.
Naruto shook his head up and down; he'll do anything for his beloved ramen.
Perfect, Sai thought. "Now take off your clothes and lay on that bed"
Naruto hesitated a little, a voice in his head told him to stop but his weakness for ramen overpowered it. He did as he was told and took off his clothes and got on the bed.
"Good stay like that," Sai got out a canvas and some paint. "Hm it looks like you really are a boy after all. Now I'm going to draw you so stay still" he said and started.
Naruto pouted, "what about my ramen?" Not even retorting about being a boy part.
"After I finish"
Naruto glared, "Now"
Sai sighed, "Ok fine." He got up and gave Naruto his ramen. It was then he made his mistake, he forgot that was the only ramen he had. As soon as it got into Naruto's hand, Naruto grinned and kicked Sai in the face.
"That's what you get for being a perv." Naruto turned and went to pick up his clothes, when he felt a hand on his ass. He turned his head and say Sai's hand there, he growled and punched Sai.
"Perv" he mumbled and ran off back to Iruka's. He'll change back into his clothes when he got there. Naruto spent the rest of his time at Iruka's until it was time for his date with Gaara. He blushed when it was almost time for their date. For some reason he wanted to look the best he can for Gaara.
There was a knock at the door, Naruto rushed to answer it. There standing at the door was Gaara. Naruto smiled. Though he didn't show any emotion, Naruto could tell Gaara was nervous. To tell the truth he was too.
"Let's go" Gaara said roughly.
Naruto smiled again and walked out of the house. They left the village and into the forest. It was dark and very quiet. Gaara didn't say anything and though Naruto hates that silence, he didn't want to break it. They had been walking for some time and Naruto noticed that they were leaving the forest.
"Gaara where are we going?" he asked.
"Somewhere special" he said.
Naruto huffed, well that explained a lot, not. He noticed they were on a dirt road, he could see lights just in front of him.
"G-Gaara?" It was then he saw a town, a human town.
Gaara stopped and looked at Naruto. "Do you trust me?" he asked.
Naruto gulped before nodding, "yes"
Gaara let out a small smile. "You never been to a human village before, have you?"
The blonde shook his head, "no"
"I'm taking to one so don't be afraid."
"Ok but what about my ears and tail. They will see I'm not human"
"Can you get rid of them for some time?"
He nodded, "but only about and 1 and a half. I haven't learned to fully hide them" the blonde blushed.
"That will be plenty of time"
"Ok" he took a deep breath and concentrated. Smoke surrounded the blonde fox and with a pop the smoke faded away. There stood Naruto but without the ears and tail. Gaara smirked mentally, Naruto still looked cute but he thought Naruto looked better with the ears and tail.
"Beautiful" he murmured. Naruto heard and blushed. They both headed into the village. Naruto gawked and stared in amazement at all the new things. There were so many things he had never seen and the humans were interesting. He was a bit frightened of the humans but he knew with Gaara here, he will be safe.
The humans were having a festival so the two had many things to go. Though Gaara didn't participate much, they played games at the booths and ate their strange food. They even had ramen which Naruto was thankful for. The ramen owner was amazed that someone could eat 30 bowls of ramen under 5 minutes.
They were having so much fun that they forgot the time and Naruto's ears and tail reappeared. Luckily no one saw and they were able to sneak away before they were seen. They got out of the village and far enough away from the humans.
"I wish we could've stayed longer" Naruto said sadly. They saw fireworks shoot up in the air and exploded. Naruto quickly was happy again and Gaara was glad.
They sat on the grass and watched the fireworks. Naruto leaned his head against Gaara's shoulder. "Thanks Gaara, I really had fun with you" he said tiredly and yawned.
"So did I" Gaara said, he looked over at the blonde and noticed he was asleep. He smiled softly and picked the blonde up and headed home. Today was a good day.
Unknown to the two, a person did see the blonde revert back to his normal form. The man went to a secluded area and made a hand sign.
"Everyone I have found him" the man spoke telepathically.
"Good we are heading your way" someone answered.
The link was cut off. The man smirked, "soon we will have you" he thought. Thunder roared in the background. Impending doom was coming.
Mira: so there you go. Sorry if the dates were lame but I really didn't know what to do since they're all part creatures and live in the forest. Not much you can do but if anyone has suggestions for a date tell me, it would really help.
Shadow: I can't believe Naruto got naked for Sai for ramen
Mira: I know weird huh but Naruto will nearly do anything for ramen
Maya: that's probably not a good thing
Shadow: he's gonna get raped cause of it
Mira: actually since Naruto would agree to do it for ramen it wouldn't be rape but I don't think Naruto would go that far for ramen. He's not a complete idiot.
Shadow: -stares at Mira-
Mira: -sighs- yea your right. oh well. Anyway I added akatsuki in there, they won for being human and orochimaru and his gang are creatures. I'm think of a love interest someone in the akatsuki for a one of the creatures like someone falls for Naruto or another person like Neji. Tell we what you guys think. Until next time see ya.
