My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute!
By Yangster
Chapter #9: My Demon Tenant is Learning About Skinship!
Something incredibly soft and supple was pressed against the side of his face.
"Wake up.."
It smelled a bit weird too. Like sweet but a bit sweaty. It was weirdly pleasant. Sorta like how Sakura smelled like but a bit more subtle and actually better. Just what the hell was on his face?
Taking a quick and quiet breath, Naruto raised a lazy hand to grab the object. It felt incredibly soft and smooth in his hand. There was a curve here and there, along with these weird uniform, smooth hard things. He groaned softly as he lifted the thing off of his face and on to his chest. It felt weird, but also really good. It reminded him of Kyuumi's hands.
Just what was he holding?
"Are you going to just keep groping my foot or are you going to wake up?"
Oh.
Opening his eyes, he tilted his head upward.
Yep. He was holding on to Kyuumi's foot. Her incredibly small and cute foot. It was just like her hands. Delicate and ladylike. It must have been nice being made of pure chakra. It meant pretty much every part of Kyuumi was perfect. Whether it be her cute little hands, her almost permanently silky red-hair, her petite frame or even her little feet!
What he would give to be able to do that. He would seriously not mind being a little taller.
Though he guessed it was alright. Why Kyuumi had planted her foot on his face, he had no idea. He might as well take advantage of the situation at least.
He gave her foot a squeeze.
"Mm.. Let go of my foot.. And wake up.."
"What time is it..?"
"Time for you to get your ass off the bed. And let go of my foot!"
He sorta wanted to keep holding on to it, but he really did not want to get labeled a pervert like Jiraiya. Letting it go, Kyuumi retracted her foot back on to the ground.
"What were you doing with your foot on my face anyways..?" asked Naruto as he rolled over to his side with a grunt.
"You wouldn't wake up. Thought maybe sticking my unwashed foot in your face would do the trick. Which it did."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. He honestly thought her foot smelled fine.
"Uh huh.."
"Ugh.. Get off the bed.."
"Mhm.."
"You're not getting off the bed.. Come on, you lazy monkey.."
"Uh huh.."
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Nothing.." replied Naruto as he shifted a bit.
It was way too early for him to wake up. It was his off day. The day that Jiraiya had given him to relax after that terribly long journey back. Plus, if he stayed on his side like this, he got the perfect view of Kyuumi's thighs, that were just chubby enough to make a visible outline on her kimono.
Now that he really thought about it, he preferred Kyuumi's legs to Sakura's. Sakura had runner's legs. They were just a bit too thin for his taste. Sure, they were muscular, at least compared to most girls they were, but..
Kyuumi had a bigger butt. He could see a just the faint outline of it due to the way that Kyuumi was standing with her weight mostly on one leg. She had thicker thighs too. Overall, she was just a bit more filled out below the waist.
Not that he minded. Not at all.
Man, it felt a little bit weird knowing that the Nine-Tailed Fox's body was his type.
Eesh, he felt perverted just thinking that.
Mustering up a bit of willpower, Naruto rolled over to his other side so that he was looking at his couch. Man, sometimes he hated being a closet pervert. It was a guilty pleasure that was much more guilty than pleasure whenever he looked at a girl too long.
After seeing how Jiraiya ended up, straying from the path of purity, he was determined to stay as clean as possible for as long as possible.
"Grrr.." growled Kyuumi lowly before she shouted, "Get your ass off the damn couch! I'm hungover and I'm hungry!"
Ugh. There was no way he was going to fall asleep again. Not with Kyuumi bothering at least.
He could try though.
"Ugh! It's like I got a second heart-beat inside my head! Wake up or I'll go kill a dozen children!"
"Okay! Fine! I'm waking up!" relented Naruto as he threw his blanket off of him.
"Finally!"
"Okay I'm up!"
There was a moment of silence.
"What the hell is that?"
"What is what?" asked Naruto as he stood up.
"Why is there a frog on your underwear?"
Naruto looked down at the front of his boxers and then back up at Kyuumi, "What's wrong with my frog boxers? I think they look nice."
"Yeah well, it's kind of awkward looking at the frog when it's right over your.."
"My..?"
"Nevermind.."
"Oh.
"Yeah."
"So were you like using the frog as an excuse to look at my crotch?"
His words were like a fire that quickly shot into her cheeks, turning them a red that immediately began spreading to her ears and forehead. To go along with that intense blush of hers, she had widened her eyes and her mouth was opening and closing like a fish.
"N-N-N-NO! Not at all! No! No way! Never ever! NO!"
Naruto looked at her for a second before chuckling.
"H-Hey! What's so damn funny!?" asked Kyuumi as she stomped her foot.
"You are! You're so easy to embarrass!" answered Naruto with a smile on his face.
"I-I am not!"
"Oh come on, Kyuumi. You're cute when you have these little reactions. You don't need to be so defensive about it." replied Naruto in a reassuring voice as he nodded his head.
She glared at him for a moment.
"Stupid monkey.. Getting me all worked up, especially when I have such a nasty headache.."
"I didn't know tailed beasts could get hangovers.."
"Well you do now!" replied Kyuumi as she folded her arms.
"Look.. Since you're hungover and hungry.. Why don't you go take a shower first..? Then we can head out and maybe eat something."
Her tails swished gingerly around her as she tightened her arms around herself into a self-embrace, "I.. I don't know what this shower you speak of is.."
"Eh?" let out Naruto as he quirked a brow, "Well what about a bath?"
His words prompted Kyuumi's ears to perk up a bit, "Oh, I know what a bath is."
"Well, then go take one."
"..."
"What?"
"I.. I don't know how to use your bath.. I tried earlier but it's got all these.. These weird knobs and thingies..?"
"Thingies..?"
She bit her lower lip and nodded, obviously embarrassed by the fact that she had no idea how to use his bathroom.
"So do you want me to help you?"
She nodded once more.
Naruto sighed, "Alright. Let's get you into the bath.."
"Okie dokie."
"Heh," let out Naruto upon hearing such a cute little phrase used by her before walking to his bathroom.
Kyuumi followed him, her tiny little feet making delicate noises against the wooden floors as she walked. Even she sounds she made were cute!
He would be hearing a lot more from her now, would he not? She was living with him now. For some reason, it felt much more real now that they were not talking in his mindscape. Like, she was real and he could see her and touch her.
Well, maybe not touch, but whatever.
Man, it was so much easier not noticing the fact that she was a girl back when it all felt like a dream.
He could see a hard road in front of him. A crossroads actually, one telling him to just ignore Kyuumi, since she was the Nine-Tailed Fox and the other one telling him to throw morals to the wind.
Though the morals to the wind option was a bit less tempting since he knew that Kyuumi would most likely curb stomp him if he tried anything.
She did hit like a thousand times harder than Sakura after-all.
"So you turn this knob, right? Then you just adjust the temperature like this. Here, let me start a bath for you.."
"Oooh.. I see now.. You monkeys really do come up with the neatest of inventions.. While they seem a bit trivial, they do seem convenient."
"Yeah, I'd like to think so."
"I do wish that you didn't come up with ninja techniques though. Could have saved myself a decade if your damned fourth Hokage didn't seal me."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Yeah, alright then."
"Hey.. Naruto.."
"Yes, Kyuumi..?"
"Can you.. Stay here.. While I bathe..?"
"W-What?! W-Why?!"
"I.. This is my first time.. Bathing in hot water.. I'm kinda.. Kinda scared.." answered Kyuumi gingerly, her tails swishing around her protectively, "I-I mean.. You should be grateful that I'm letting you gaze upon my body! It should be an honour for you!"
"I mean.. I don't mind.. You are cute after-all.." replied Naruto as he dipped his head to hide his blush.
If she was not so mortified, she would have maybe cheered a little bit. This was a way to get closer to Naruto after-all.
"I-I'm going to take my clothes off now.. So turn around.."
Naruto tilted his head to side, "Weren't you completely fine being naked around me back in my mindscape..?"
"W-Well I'm not now!" retorted Kyuumi as her cheeks flushed, "Also it's dreamscape! Dreamscape!"
"Okay. Okay. Dreamscape," replied Naruto as he turned around.
"Wait. There's a mirror here."
"I don't care! Just focus on yourself and not me!"
"Alright, alright."
Narrowing his eyes, Naruto looked at himself in the mirror. He had bags under his eyes. What time was it? The sun was barely even out. Kyuumi was going to absolutely destroy his sleep schedule. As he examined himself closer, Naruto widened his eyes.
"Hey! W-What happened to my whiskers?!"
"What did you expect? All the traits I passed on to you must have faded when you slept since I'm no longer sealed inside you."
"Those whiskers was one of your traits..? But you don't have whiskers!"
"I do. I just hide them."
"Why?"
"Because I don't like them. I think my cheeks look better without them."
"Well.. If that's your opinion.." replied Naruto as he rubbed his cheeks, taking note of how smooth they were now, now that he did not have his whiskers, "So what's taking you so long? Can't you just disappear your clothes?"
"Yeah, well. It's annoying to summon them again so I might as well just take them off."
"You know," began Naruto as turned on the sink, "I think you're a bit outdated."
He heard her let out a quick 'hmph'.
"And why is that?"
"I mean, pretty much no one wears a kimono now unless a festival is happening," answered Naruto, shuddering slightly as he splashed cold water into his face, "Plus you talk like an old person."
"I'm a thousand years old, Naruto."
"Yeah, but it'd be kinda cool if you could get with the times."
"Oh? And how would I do that?"
"Maybe turn that kimono into a jacket. You can keep the scarf since I think it really looks good on you. Maybe you could try shortening your hair. Most of the girls I know have their cut short these days. Not Ino though."
Who was Ino? Why would he mention someone else? Kyuumi narrowed her eyes. Why was she feeling so.. Jealous..? Ugh, she missed it back when she could keep a cool head, but with Naruto around her, she swore everything inside her was almost always on fire and swirling around as if a infernado had decided to set up shop in her body.
"Well.. I think I can do those things after I take a bath.."
"Yeah, you can just try it out. If you don't like it, you can always just change back."
"Yeah.." replied Kyuumi as she tossed her clothing into the air, where they, excluding the scarf, disappeared.
The scarf landed on the towel rack.
"I'm finished.. You can turn around now.."
Naruto began to turn around.
"Wait! No! I haven't gotten into the water yet!"
Naruto turned back to face the mirror, but not before letting out a quick chuckle, much to Kyuumi's annoyance.
Looking down at the steamy hot water, Kyuumi swallowed quietly. Why did it feel so weird bathing in hot water? She had seen hot springs before, but those were natural! She had no idea where this hot water came from.
Dipping a toe in, Kyuumi shuddered at the blissful sensation. The temperature was perfect. Sliding herself in, she let out a light sigh as the hot water soothed her body.
"I.. I umm.. The bubble bath stuff is on the rack.."
"You.. You take bubble baths..?" asked Kyuumi as she leaned over to look at the multiple bottles on the rack.
"Sometimes."
"Ooookay then. Seems weird. Bubbles seem like a weird thing to want.. Which bottle is it..?"
"The orange one."
"Hmm.. I wonder.. Oh! It smells.. Smells like oranges.. Huh.. I should have expected that.."
"Oranges smell good though," replied Naruto with a shrug, "So can I turn around now..?"
"Yeah.. Go ahead.."
With an affirming nod, Naruto turned around.
"Huh."
"Huh?"
"Oh, nothing.. I don't know why I was acting so shy.. I mean.. I've pretty much seen you naked before.."
"D-Don't say it like it means nothing!"
"Well then, what do I say?"
"I don't know!"
"Then if you don't know, how am I supposed to know?!"
"Just shush!"
"So do you want me to leave or something?" asked Naruto after a moment of silence.
"No.. I want you to stay.."
"Alright then. I'll stay.."
She looked up at him, before curving her lips slightly upward into a small smile, "I guess.. I guess bubble baths aren't that bad.. Bubbles are nice.."
"Yeah, they are.." replied Naruto with a nod.
He watched as she suddenly blushed.
"Hmm?"
"Do you.. Do you want to share this bubble bath with me..?"
He looked at her for a second before widening his eyes.
"W-W-WHAT?!"
She hissed in response, "Shhhhh.. My hangover.. Ugh.. My headache just got like ten times worse.."
"S-Sorry," apologized Naruto quickly, making sure that his voice came out much quieter.
Kyuumi cleared her throat, "Yes.. Well.. Apology accepted.. Now I ask you again.. Do you want to share these bubbles with me..?"
"How in the world can you say that with a straight face."
"Doesn't matter.. Look.. Monkey.. Naruto.. You need to bathe too right..? Wouldn't it be more efficient if we.. Bathed together..?"
Naruto folded his arms as he took a moment to think.
"My water bill is kinda already high enough.."
"Water.. Water bill..?"
"And you did sorta use my bubble bath stuff.. Which I only use for special occasions.."
"Special..? Am I a special occasion..?"
"I mean.. You kinda are.. You're the Nine-Tailed Fox and you're taking a bubble bath in my bathroom.." replied Naruto as he shrugged.
Kyuumi sighed quietly raising a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose before murmuring quietly to herself, "Idiot monkey.. I didn't mean it like that.."
"So.. Yeah.. About sharing.. I guess.. I don't mind.."
"Really..?"
"Yeah.. I'm okay with it," replied Naruto as he took a step forward, "Umm.. Turn around and maybe scoot a bit forward.."
"R-Right!"
Squeezing her tails to the sides of the tub, Kyuumi slowly scooted forward towards one end. Closing her eyes, she relied on her ears for hints at what Naruto was doing. Obviously he was taking off his clothes, tossing them off into the clothing basket. With each article of clothing he took off, she found her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.
Ugh, her pride wanted her to slap herself.
Though her second pride decided that if would be much less damaging to her first pride if she did not suddenly slap herself in front of a monkey.
He was coming closer! She squeezed her eyes even tighter as he felt Naruto lower himself into the water.
"Huh.. Not much space in here, huh.."
"R-Really..? I haven't noticed.."
"You're literally squished into the corner.. This bath tub was made for like only one person," replied Naruto plainly as he shifted slightly.
"Let.. Let me sit a bit closer to you then.."
Naruto swallowed quietly, "But.. I mean.. I don't think you would want to touch me.. I am a filthy monkey after all.."
"T-That's not true!" exclaimed Kyuumi as she turned around to face him, her eyes immediately widening at her sudden outburst.
"I mean.. That's not true.."
"W-What do you mean, Kyuumi..?" asked Naruto, his eyes wide and his voice barely above a whisper.
"Y-You're not a filthy monkey.. Not that filthy at least.." answered Kyuumi with a nod, her blush spreading to her ears.
Was that a compliment? If it was. It was the most Kyuumi-style compliment ever.
"Well."
"Well?"
"Was that a compliment..?"
She looked at him for a second.
"I.. I guess it was.."
"Alright then," replied Naruto with a smile as he raised a hand to pat Kyuumi on the head, "I guess I'm okay with it as long as you're okay with it."
"Oh, okie dokie.." said Kyuumi in response as she slowly slid closer to Naruto.
Turning back so that she was facing the other way, Kyuumi then gingerly leaned back in till the top of her shoulder blades touched the top of Naruto's chest. Letting out a sigh to cool her nerves, she then put a bit more weight on the boy in till finally she had completely leaned up against him.
"You.. You alright..?"
She nodded, "Yeah.. I'm alright.."
There was a moment of silence.
"N-Naruto..?"
"Yes..?"
"Is this what you monkeys call skinship..?"
"Yeah.."
"You can't do this with anyone else," stated Kyuumi, her tails suddenly untucking themselves from the sides of the tub to wrap around Naruto's waist.
"W-What?"
"You can only do skinship with me."
"Why..?"
"Because I said so.."
"Yeah, but-"
"If you do this with anyone else I'll-"
"Kill a hundred children..?"
She turned her head to look at him.
"A hundred and one children."
Naruto looked back at her, the corner of his lip curving upward into he let out a chuckle.
"Yeah, got it."
"You better.." replied Kyuumi as she turned her head back.
"You know.."
"Hmm?"
"Your skin is really smooth.. Like insanely smooth.. You're also really light."
"Ah yes.. Well. At least you know when to compliment someone."
"Oh, so you're happy that I said that?"
"Yeah.. Just a little happy.."
"That's good."
They were both quiet for a moment.
"Say.. Naruto..?"
"Yes, Kyuumi?"
"What would you say about me staying here for a while..?"
"I wouldn't mind."
"Yeah, but would you like it if I stayed here?"
She turned her head as she waited for his response.
She felt all the worry in her leave her once she saw his warm smile.
"Yeah, I'd like that. You really need to stop worrying Kyuumi. You're not that bad."
She puffed out her cheeks, "Of course I'm not bad!"
"Yeah, well. You can be bad sometimes."
"No! Never! Only monkeys can be bad!"
"I mean, you can get pretty rude sometimes. Plus you hit me sometim-!"
"Shadup! Not true! Lies!"
"Ow! Ow! Kyuumi! I-I'm naked! OW! You're naked!"
"Take back what you said!"
"Ow! Y-You're getting water everywhere!"
"I don't care!"
"I TAKE IT BACK! OW! NO! NOT THE FACE!"
