10. Revelations and feelings

A girl with brown hair that reached her lower back walked till the localization where the slightest oldest boy waited for her. Because what are four years of difference? Nothing right? When they would be on their twenties or thirties that age difference would be nothing haha. That at least was what she repeated to herself on her mind over and over.

If she would say the truth, after seeing the blonde boy take a beating gladly for that beautiful girl, she felt a little self-conscious, so with the help of her friends, who gently obligated Mikan to let them help her with her outfit before the date.

She cannot lie. Mikan looked outstanding, something confirmed by the drools of the boys who walked past her, checking her out without a hint of shame. Maybe, it was a little too much for the date, well, of course, she wanted to impress Naruto, but the brown-haired girl didn't want to practically scream how much she liked the boy. Little she knows the innocence of the boy, better yet denseness.

'' Naruto-san?'' She called once the ringtone of the phone stopped and she heard a voice on the other side of the line. Her heart beat a little faster, embarrassed. And for a good reason if you consider the two girls who were attached at her side, hearing expectant the conversation forcing the middle school girl to do the phone call on loudspeaker.

'' Mikan-chan?'' She heard him, making her heartbeats increase. '' Oh, hey, how are you? I'm happy to hear from you. Something wrong?'' She could hear some concern on his voice.

'' No, no it's all clear.'' Mikan smiled touched by the boy's concern, ignoring Mako who was right in front of her with a giant card trying to give the lovesick girl instructions of how to proceed for asking the boy out. But Yumi pinched her leg making the girl screams painfully by the sudden action.

'' Mikan are you okay? Where are you?'' The whiskered teen asked now more like in demand. She could hear noises and sounds of fast steps, so he probably ran towards the door to find her.

'' Nothing, nothing. It's just that I hit the little finger of my foot with a chair I was walking without shoes.'' Mikan invented, saying the first thing that came into her mind.

'' Are you sure?'' Asked now the boy a little more concerned.

'' What is wrong with you?'' Whispered Mikan angrily at Yumi, covering the speaker so he wouldn't hear anything. But Mako ignored her pointing applicant at Ayumi's direction who held the cards, which some words canceled and changed for others.

'' Mikan-chan?'' He called once again. Maybe there was a wrong signal.

'' Sorry Naruto, it's just that I'm happy to talk to you. I miss you.'' Mikan stuttered, giving into the subtle request of her friends. It's not like she didn't have those kinds of thoughts, but it was so embarrassing to say it in front of others. She gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to kick them out, once their heads impacted with her simultaneously and comically, impatient to hear his answer, even if they would hear it clearly thanks to the loudspeaker.

They heard happiness in his voice which made Yumi eyes widen expectantly, that was a good sign. '' I miss you too Mikan-chan. I'm glad you called.''

The two girls hugged a pillow rolling on the floor excited and bitting into it to avoid producing any noise. Mikan sweatdropped at their reaction. She wasn't like this. Was she?

'' So why did you call? Do you want hang out sometime maybe?''

Hearing that, her friend's behavior changed into a professional manner. Mako holding the panels once again while Yumi pointed with a stick the words that she had to read. Strangely the two of them wore a secretary outfit with glasses on. They sure were sumerging into this.

'' Truthfully that was the reason that I called you. If you have some time, maybe you would like to go out sometime? We could go to the commercial center.'' She read following her friend's instructions.

'' Oh that sounds nice. I wanted to go there.''

'' Perfect! So it's tomorrow a good day?'' Mikan asked a little exalted, not following the plan of her friends who tried to stop her once they saw where this was going.

'' Then I see you there? Near at the park? I have something to do before, so we can meet at the electronic shop door and then we can walk together till the center commercial. If that it's okay with you.''

'' No, no that's okay. I see you there then.'' The two hung up the phone making the two girls reprimand Mikan.

'' Agggh. What have you done?'' Cried Mako dramatically.

'' That was too short Yuuki-chan! You should have followed the cards that we prepared beforehand!'' Pointed the girl angrily with the stick.

'' Th-There is no way that I can say those things. That is too embarrassing! And Naruto would be freaked out!'' Exclaimed Mikan grabbing the cards to explain her point. Inside those panels were really deep stuff. Something you would say after months in a relationship, not to a boy who older than you who sees you as a friend. A friend! Not a kid!

'' And I want to go slow. He is the first guy that I like and on top of that is Naruto.'' Mikan sighed in a moment of depression. The wall that she had to go through sometimes seemed unbreakable.

Yumi eyes softened, putting her hand in her friend's shoulder on support. The nice gesture meanless when Mako decided once again interrupt with ones of her inappropriate comments. '' Well I can get it. It seems kind of impossible. He is older by a bunch, brave, taller than most of the guys. He doesn't seem Japanese at all. Those blue eyes and the spiky blonde hair. So handsome~.'' Mako daydreamed with hearts as eyes. But her moment of passion was stopped when a shiver runs through her spine. Was the room colder? Seeing Mikan with a depressive aura and Yumi glaring at her with sharp teeth made her experience that famous deja vu that she heard once. She didn't want to suffer another German suplex from the black haired girl.

' Do you want me to kill you?' She could understand from Yumi's lips, which finger traced a transverary line through her own neck as a promise of what she was about to do if she continued to put down their friend like that.

Mako's back instantly met the wall, her head shaking fervently as a negative.

The black haired girl sighed, seeing how the work increased each second, so she decided to try to dissipate the tension that it was created on the room. '' Well you have a date tomorrow, right? ''

'' I don't think that he meant it like a date...'' Murmured Mikan still a bit down.

'' So what? Are you giving up now? Nonsense. We knew that this was going to be hard, but the price at the end is worthy, isn't it?''

'' Naruto is not something you can win over!'' Mikan immediately shot back annoyed.

'' Sorry, sorry.'' Apologized Mako laughing awkwardly. '' It was just a way of speaking. Now move your ass from the couch and let's see what you will wear on your special date.'' She dragged her friend to the closet.

After one hour fighting about complements, complaining about the color of the makeup and so over, finally the three girls agreed on a final solution. The two girls looking at the protagonist simply amazed. '' Isn't this a bit too much? We will go to the center.'' Said Mikan turning around and looking herself on the mirror. They decided for long white trousers that stylized her legs and accentuated her little but, pushing it upwards. The multicolors flowers of her loose blouse that arrived till her belly bottom matched perfectly altogether with her open black heels. She also wore a little makeup, not used to wear any at all, but enough to show that this event was important for her.

'' Quite the opposite. This is your style. Keep it forever. Never wear anything else.'' Ayumi said a bit envious. It totally suited her! She hoped that at least her friends would work like this for her too when she finds a boy that she likes.

'' Yeah, for now, it's perfect, but there is something that is still lacking.'' Murmured Mako grabbing her chin thoughtfully while she eyed Mikan from head to toe. '' Ah, there it is! Your hair. We have to do something with it.''

'' Well I could wear the same hairstyle as last time.''

'' Nop! Never. You already used it once. We can't have you stick with just one style. Now there is playtime you have to impress him every time he sees you. You will have time later when you are a couple to wear pajamas or gym clothes.'' Explained Mako at the ingenious girl.

'' Or nothing at all.'' Intervened Ayumi giving her opinion on the matter.

The imaginations of the three girls ran wild with Mikan imagining herself naked in front of Naruto, a smirk present on his face, while he seated on the sofa enjoying the show that she was giving to him. He seemed quite interested in the way that she licked the banana while she prostrated herself doggy style for him. For her facial expressions, she didn't seem with the capacity to hold it anymore, so standing up and turning around, she inclined with the help of the table in front of her, showing her ass, her fingers spreading her pussy wide open for him to see. ' I'm ready.' She mouthed sensually, her face showing a powerful bright blush.

'' Focus.'' Mako snapped her fingers in front of Mikan's face, snapping her out of her dream. The girl found Ayumi's head encrusted on the floor while Mako portrayed a small blush, her imagination betraying her.

'' Well, I don't know how to make any other hairstyle.'' Mikan shied away, trying to focus as her friend told her.

'' Well me neither.'' Mako replied looking at the girl on the floor who struggled to free her head from the wooden floor. '' And I don't think that she does either.''

'' Hmmphh.'' Tried to speak the girl, still struggling.

'' Shouldn't we give her a hand?'' Sweatdropped Mikan at her friend's harsh behavior.

'' No, hopefully, that will teach her something.'' Mako went over the table to look at some magazines to think about a solution.

'' Puaf. '' Ayumi finally managed to get her head out from the floor sending a glare at her friend who plainly ignored her. '' A hat. You didn't try that one.'' She proposed cleaning herself from the small pieces of wood.

Mako nodded in accordance pleased by the idea, walking to the closet before seeing the main protagonist walk till her bed to grab a yellow hat. ''Then it has to be this one.'' Mikan smiled putting it on her head while covering her face with it.

'' Mmm, Yuuki-chan. I don't think that one is the perfect one. It's a little boyish. It doesn't really match with all the other things.''

But the girl refused stubbornly. '' Believe me. It has to be this one.''

Breathing to calm herself down almost reaching the point of the meeting, she stopped in the middle of a shop's door that showed her reflection. The white trousers? Without a peak of dirt. She washed it, twice be sure of it. The makeup? Impeccable. Mako and Ayumi went to check it up before she got out of the house. And the hat? Perfect. Simply perfect. She had to fight a bit with the two advisors, but she brought it anyway. She kept it since the whiskered boy gave it to get as if it was porcelain that would be broken just be watching it.

When her brother wasn't home, and she didn't have any task to fulfill, she ran towards her room to put it on. It calmed her. Anyone would call her a lovesick girl if they saw her but she couldn't help it. She was falling hard for him. Who knows after today what she would feel? She wanted to create as many memories with him as possible, with the man that saved her from those scumbags, and becoming her own personal knight.

Right now, she wore the hat backward leaving some strands of hair out of the hat, reaching her eyebrows. She bent a bit, to take a quick checkup before her date would arrive, but unfortunately, the doors of the shop opened, finding in front of her the boy that she was waiting for. '' Um? Oh, hello Mikan-chan.'' He grinned widely at the petrified girl. Why does he have to see her at first in this awkward position? Why her? She cried comically, two rivers of tears across her cheeks. '' And woah, you are really beautiful! I'm sure you have your hands full trying to keep all the boys away from your sister. I pity you Rito.''

'' Eh?'' Her mind went on shock seeing her brother coming out of the shop. And they weren't just the two of them. There was a beautiful girl who was just as dressed up as her. You could tell that she was clearly annoyed from the look on her face. That was bad news. Wait? Maybe she too thought that this was a date and she found herself on this situation. Noooo, what the girl would think about her now? So embarrassing! A little girl going after the handsome model. Now she seems like a little girl with an enormous crush.

She had almost no opportunity without anyone around them, but with Rito and that beautiful girl then this was going to be hell for her!

Rito smiled awkwardly, the corner of his lips twitching, apologizing mentally at his younger sister. When he came to take a walk with Naruto he didn't know that her sister would be there nor Risa.

Her sister drastically changed mood was a carbon copy of Risa's reaction when she saw them together. She was in cloud seven finally getting some time with her sweet knucklehead, but it instantly changed into a deadpan stare, probably kicking herself for having hopes on that boy when he called her to go out and have fun. Rito didn't know who pity more, the girls that clearly wanted to be with Naruto or the guy himself. He didn't want to be the one to suffer the fury of a girl that was sure.

'' Ey Mikan-chan are you okay? You seem quite shocked.'' He waved his hand in front of her without getting any reaction from the little girl.

'' Ah, hehe, hello Naruto. I spaced out a bit seeing my brother here. I didn't know he would come too.'' Her eyes gazed towards her brother, giving him a pissed stare like she was expecting an explanation.

Rito clapped his hands above his head, apologizing once more while Risa stood at his side, grabbing the purse with one hand while her arms were crossed under her chest, sighing at the blonde boy who seemed unaware of what was happening.

'' Why didn't you tell Mikan-chan? How could you? Not cool man.'' The blonde teased his friend overreacting dramatically. '' Don't worry Mikan-chan. I will always tell you when we hang out.'' He grinned widely making the girl blush. She still didn't grow accustomed at his smile. It was too shiny to look at.

'' T-Thank you.'' She mumbled.

'' Oh you are too cute Mikan-chan. I'm jealous of Rito, he got Mikan-chan all for himself, but you love me a little bit more than your brother, right?'' The whiskered blonde bending placed one hand on the top of her head. If the girl's mind wouldnt overloading, she would be a bit hurt to have been treat like a little child, but she was too embarrassed to even think straight. That wasn't fair at all. No matter how much she prepared herself, she didn't think he would tease her like that in front of others.

' You don't know what you are doing Naruto-san.' Rito sweatdropped at his innocence. What should he do? Help her sister out? But maybe she was enjoying this kind of attention, and he didn't want to increase the punishment that he will receive once they got home for not telling her that he would be present on the date.

' That stupid knucklehead.' Risa gritted her teeth. She wasn't jealous of a little girl, but how come that he attracted almost every girl without even trying to. ' Learn to differentiate which girl like you or not. Idiot!'

'' Oh, Isn't that my hat? You like it then. I'm glad.''

' Wait, what?' Risa mouth hanged open. She didn't expect this.

'' Well, you gave it to me, so of course, I'm going to like it. I took good care of it. '' Mikan mumbled fidgeting.

His lip twitched upwards seeing how nice the little girl was. He got lucky meeting her that day. '' I suppose, I cannot ask you for return it, then?'' He said softly startling the girl. Her eyes widened, not expecting to return it. It was her treasure, along with the photos she took that day on the amusement park with him.

'' I-I-I didn't know you wanted it back. I'm sorry. If you want then-''

'' Nah, I was just kidding.''

' That is not funny.' Mikan fumed internally.

'' It seems important to you, so I wouldn't even think about taking it away from you. Anyway, it suits you way better than me.'' Naruto winked making a slight blush reappear on her cheeks. Now that she thought about it, he was too close. Not that she complained. But at least not in front of her brother and another girl. She cried once she remembered the huge opportunity slipped between her fingers.

Suddenly the voice of her friend rang through her mind. ' We knew that this was going to be difficult right? You cannot give up.' Nodding to herself with determination, a new found power burning inside her. It's true that maybe this wasn't the perfect situation, but that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the day with the model and create new memories to cherish.

'' You know Mikan-chan? You make me feel really special with these small gestures. You are such a nice girl. You will make a boy incredibly happy someday.'' An aura of depression overcame her, her arms going limb and her back bent forward. '' I wish I could get a girl as nice as you.'' He held his chin thoughtful. '' Maybe I should try to make you fall in love with me, so you will be my girlfriend.'' He grinned, putting his hands on the back of his head childishly.

The girl blushed furiously beating all the previous ones, smoke coming out of her head. That would be her dream come true.

A thin heel met the stomach of the whiskered blonde, making the boy fall flat on the floor grabbing his stomach to roll painfully over himself.'' What are you doing?'' Naruto complained, a tick mark throbbing madly on his face.

'' Think before you speak! You, stupid knucklehead!'' Risa demanded, pointing a trembling finger at her crush.

'' I told you to don't call me that!''

'' Then grow a brain!''

'' Ahhh? Wanna fight?''

'' Bring it on!'' Their foreheads met, fighting for dominance while Mikan was walking from side to side, her body trembling.

'' What did I get myself into?'' Rito asked himself, walking away, trying to not catch the attention of the crow that the other three were already attracting.

Line Break

'' So how it's going?'' A small blonde girl dressed all in black leather heard a familiar voice from behind, surprising her.

'' How did you get here?'' The girl asked in a monotone voice masking her initial shock.

'' Boss sent me out here a while ago since you keep watching over him, but you don't decide to approach him.'' Naruto made a clone right before he met with Rito, the moment he lost Yami for a couple of seconds. It would have been boring if she saw him execute the technique, in this way she got a little surprise.

'' You improved once again.'' The blonde girl stated looking at the boy who was fighting a brown-haired girl.

'' If I'm going to become the emperor, I have to get a lot of allelujah stronger.''

Yami kept silent for a moment, never losing her usual cold attitude. '' You are doing all this for princess Lala. For what reason?''

'' Uh?'' The clone tilted his head confused. '' Lala is my friend, and I made a promise to her.''

'' Such idealistic childish reason will make you meet your death.''

'' Oi! Are you calling me weak? Or stupid? Either of them pisses me off!'' The clone exclaimed gritting his teeth.

'' Out there in the galaxy are fighters with a caliber you cannot imagine. The emperor himself is a man whose strength met no equal on all the history. You are strong, but you are still a human.'' Yami ignored his outburst, keeping her back to him focusing on the real one. She heard the clone sigh, but she could tell he wouldn't give up. He was that stubborn.

'' That is was training is for, to get me even stronger. But you should know something. You shouldn't look down on humans we are a lot stronger than you give for.''

'' You are an exception. An anomaly. But that doesn't mean this race if the weakest on the universe.''

'' You are stubborn, eh.'' Naruto scratched the back of his head in annoyance. '' Wait a second. Aren't you just worried about me?'' The whiskered candidate smiled happily tilting his head from one side to another.

'' I don't have such emotions.''

'' Then why are you stalking me? It has been months already. Should I be worried about my purity?'' He asked mockingly, covering his body in a girly manner.

'' You interest me.''

' So straightforward.' The clone sweatdropped at the girl who chose to ignore him. '' Well you could come down and have fun with the boss and the others. He got me up here to tell you if you wanted to join them.'' He offered.

'' No need. I can decipher him from distance. ''

'' Hehe you could get to know us be talking and having some fun.'' Naruto laughed awkwardly. '' I'm just saying that the boss would like to get you to know better. He didn't have a chance since our fight.''

'' Why?'' Yami asked confused. What was his reason to be so persistent with her? She tried to kill him and almost succeeded if it wasn't because she opted not to when she had the opportunity at hand.

'' Because you reminded us a lot of ourselves. Boss let you watch him, so you could trust him after seeing his behavior the time you need it, but we truly want to save you from your loneliness.''

Her eyes widened. Once again, she heard those words, her mind reminiscing the day the boy protected her from the pile of titanium.

Hearing no answer, the clone closed his eyes, choosing to give her space as the best option. Boss will go and talk to her if she doesn't approach him after some days. '' Just think about it. Friends, it's what keep me going forward. They saved me.'' Images from his special people coming into his mind. A blue haired girl as a last one. Haruna. ' She saved me.' Continuing with a girl with pink hair and violet eyes. Momo. ' She keeps saving me.' And with that, the clone disappeared his lips twitched upward.

'' Strange human.'' Yami mouthed absently. Why would he go that far for others? For an assassin? Maybe she should try to approach him. Maybe that was the only way to understand his atypical behavior.

Line Break

'' Here we are!'' Naruto opened his arms wide open while smiling brightly. A reaction that not quite shared with the people that accompanied him, well at least for the two girls because the orange haired boy was as excited as him.

'' Cool! I wanted to try this since they opened it a month ago!'' A tag laser game. Of course, it will be exciting for him. Boys will be boys, I guess. The girls would have found it fun too if they were dressed up for the occasion. Instead, they were dressed up with high heels and not very comfortable clothes.

'' Let's go inside?'' Naruto asked no one, retaining himself to enter the shop alone.

'' Idiot!'' Risa's voice made him startled, nearly making him fall.

'' Oi! Why do you have to be so mean!'' Naruto snapped back. '' Look at us! What do you think, eh?'' Risa asked, her hand gesturing to her clothing style along with Mikan, showing him the obvious thing.

' Oh right.' Rito sweatdropped realizing now what she meant. But that went over Naruto's head, crossing his arms and holding his chin on thought. '' Mmmm. Oh right, I thought I already told you. You two are really beautiful.'' He gave them his trademark grin earning and atomic blush from the two girls.

'' Th-That's not what I meant!'' She cried dramatically, anime tears running down her cheeks. Why the boy that she loved had to be so dense? It still made her happy nonetheless that he thought about her like that, just a tiny bit.

'' Ano Naruto-san.'' Rito called him trying to give a hand with Naruto's innocent nature. At first, he thought to help his little sister, but it was too much even for him. He felt sorry for Risa too. '' I think that what they mean, it's that they cannot run with the heels or jump, or any of the others stuff that you are supposed to do in a laser tag.''

'' Oh, I see. My fault then.'' The whiskered blonde scratched the back of his head apologetically. '' What would you like to do then?''

'' Geez, you are really hopeless sometimes, Naruto. Maybe I should teach you sometimes. Can you image if-?''

'' Stop!'' He cried, covering Mikan's ears before Risa said anything that came from her pervert mind. He knew her already all too well.

'' Hehe what do you think I would say? Quite a pervert aren't we?'' Risa approached him whispering something into his ear before biting his earlobe. '' My hentai.''

Seeing this, Mikan jumped in, freeing herself from her crush, pain forming in her chest. For two reasons, actually. '' Let me go!'' The mood broken with a stupified Risa, seeing the girl who was silent all this time interrupt them. On the other hand, the blue-eyed blonde didn't seem bothered by it. Quite relieved actually, his face burning from embarrassment. Damn, Risa and her little jokes. '' And I'm not a child Naruto.'' She stomped her feet on the floor.

'' Mikan-chan don't get mad. It's just that Risa is a pervert, I don't want you to hear those pervert words.'' He waved his hands in front of him defensively.

'' Ey I'm not a pervert. I'm just a little bit when it comes to you.''

Naruto deadpanned at the offended girl. ''And what about the girls who you touch indecently.''

'' Geez you sound like Kotegawa. There is nothing wrong with it! It's not like I do it to other guys.'' Risa said the last part frenetically, not wanting him to get any wrong ideas. '' And I do it to turn you on.'' Risa held her head high without a hint of shame on her.

'' Don't be proud of that!'' Naruto's teeth became shaper, a tick mark present on his forehead.

'' Please let's calm down.'' Rito tried to intervene before they got the attention of the entire market center once more. '' Let's take a walk. Maybe visit some shops?''

'' Ye-Yeah I would like that.'' Mikan agreed with her brother, trying to not overthink too much the kind of relationship her savior had with the girl. They were a quirk duo, but if someone looked closely, he would clearly see that the two of them on those moments were the happiest.

'' Let's go then is that what you want.'' The whiskered blonde nodded, ignoring his friend.

'' Wait, don't I get a vote on this?'' Risa asked feigning betrayal but without getting any answer in return. Rito, however, turned around sending her an apologetic look.

' Maybe I overdid it again.' She laughed it off internally before following them.

After looking at a bunch of shops, Rito decided to go into a video game shop, leaving Mikan, Risa and blue-eyed blonde behind for a moment. A moment that Risa tried to take advantage of taking Naruto into a lingerie shop before she saw him, and the little girl walk towards a complement shop for ladies before she got the opportunity to ask him. Probably, he would have said no, but she would have got to see his reaction. He sure was smitten with that girl. Wouldn't she know her love interest better, she would have been jealous. But he is too good of a guy to do something like that. Wait for a second. An idea formed into her mind directing herself toward the lingerie shop anyway, a glint shining on the corner of her eye.

'' Thank you for helping me out Naruto.'' Mikan smiled happily finally getting some alone time with the whiskered blonde.

'' No problem. I'm here for you whenever you need it. What are we looking at?'' He gazed around the shop, his hands on his pockets.

'' Ah nothing in particular. Just wanted to try some things and see if you like it or not. I mean, you know you are a model, so you know better than anyone about this matter.'' She quickly corrected herself laughing awkwardly, covering her little mistake.

'' Well I just do what they tell me on the photo session.'' His eyebrow twitched in annoyance remembering a certain woman. ' Even if I have to refuse almost everything that old pervert woman gives me or I would be in a porn movie by now.' Seriously, what the heck? She just asked for extreme things. '' But I can already say that everything would work on you. You are Mikan-chan.''

'' I-I see. T-Thanks.'' The girl used her hat cover her blush. She knows that he didn't do it on purpose, but for sure he knows how to make her heart race.

'' Hehe Is Mikan-chan shying away? Oh, so cute.'' He held his hand in front of his mouth in a teasing manner. He recognized that expression from Haruna's behavior. They were identical. It amused him in some way.

'' I'm not shying away.'' She refused to let him see her in that way. '' Mature, mature. That was the key for the first step to get him to notice her. '' Let's go to see that.'' The brown haired girl pointed at some bracelets walking towards it and making Naruto chuckle. '' So what do you think of this one?'' She changed the conversation into a new direction, looking through some that she liked it.

'' Mmm.'' He reflected for a couple of moments unsure of which one would be perfect for her. '' I don't know. All of them are great, I think. Just choose one, and I will buy it for you.''

'' W-What? No way. I cannot take anything else from you.'' She shook her head frantically. This time for sure not. She will not take advantage of the blonde's good nature.

'' You wouldn't accept a gift from me?'' Naruto gasped theatrically, a hand on his chest.

'' Ah? Are you trying to buy me with presents?'' Mikan mimicked the blonde who didn't answer for a couple of seconds before he broke in laughter, earning a giggle from the girl.

'' That was good Mikan-chan.''

'' I do watch and learn from the best.'' She answered, enjoying their little moment.

'' So cute.'' Mikan heard near to them, seeing multiple girls with heart's as eyes while the look at the model while the eldest women choose to comment about their interaction.

'' Woah they are adorable. They are such cute siblings.'' Again with that thing.

She already knew where this was going to go, and she didn't want to waste her time with her love interest with such petty things. She already overcame that wall. It was useless to go back into that again. '' Let's go somewhere else. I didn't find anything that I want to buy. ''

'' Wait a moment. I think I found something for a friend.'' Naruto went towards a stand where it had different types of hairclips. ' This has to be for her.' He thought. It was a hairclip with a print of a dog paw on it. ' Haruna-chan would definitely love this.' He wasn't searching for anything, but now he had to buy it. He was pretty sure she would be happy with this little present. Knowing her love for dogs and her usual habit to wear these accessories for the hair. It will be a practical gift too, so she could wear it every day, and think of him. There was all kind of colors, even orange, but this kind of red brought a sense of nostalgia on him. That would be gorgeous as a color hair on a woman. Maybe for himself too? He chuckled at the thought. Wait, scratch that, he would never hear the end of it from Yui-chan.

'' For who is that?'' Mikan asked seeing the hairclip.

'' Is for a friend. What do you think?''

'' It's so cute.'' She gulped before getting the strength to ask, praying that he would answer what she whisked. '' A girlfriend?''

'' Mmm? Oh, no, she doesn't think about me in that way.'' He chuckled waving his hand in negation.

' That means that you do?' She cried internally, not quite receiving the answer she expected, but an ambiguous one. Those were the worsts. Maybe he loved her then?

'' She is just a friend. An important one, without her who knows which path I would have followed.'' His lips twitched upward sadly. '' I'm pretty sure without you guys by my side, I wouldn't be the same person as I am today.''

'' Naruto would still be the same as I know. There is no way that you can be anything but kind.'' Mikan looked at him with fierce eyes in a reproachful manner. '' I won't let anyone doubt it. Not even if it is you.''

Shaking his hand at his own stupidity, he kneeled in front of the girl, his eyes shining brightly. He was the luckiest guy in the world of that much he was sure. He didn't deserve this kindness. '' Then I suppose if I ever go on the wrong path Mikan-chan would save me right?'' He placed his hand on the top of her head.

He got a determined nod as response. '' Of course. If you need my help, I will be the first one to be there for you, even if I have punched you to bring you to your normal self.'' She suddenly found herself in between Naruto's arms, a tight hug from the blonde. Usually, she would feel in cloud seven, but she could feel he was in distress, so she hugged him back with all the strength she could muster to make him feel she was there for him.

Realizing his slip, he tried to free the girl, surprised when the girl didn't let go. '' Thank you Mikan-chan. I count on you then.'' He smiled when the girl nodded repeatedly. How stupid he was? Making a little girl suffer, he sure was despicable.

' I have to grow up fast and help Naruto. I have to be at his side.'

''Where Risa went?'' Naruto sighed massaging his forehead at an incoming headache that this meant.

'' Come on Naruto-san. I'm sure she will come in five minutes. Momioka-san probably lost track of time visiting some shops. '' Rito tried to reason just to receive a deadpan from the whiskered blonde.

'' Yeah sure.'' He said ironically. She wanted to play. Of that much, he was sure of it. She hides to play and mess with him a little. She was lucky that she was one of her precious people if not he would just walk away. But a friend is a friend, and he would do anything whatever it takes for them. '' Could you two wait for me here? I'm going to look for her. If I don't return in ten minutes you can go home. I'm sorry.''

'' We will wait. '' Mikan refused, beating her brother into it. She wanted to go home with him, that's it. Not that she was worried that something would happen between him and the beautiful girl.

'' Then I will try to be fast.'' The whiskered blonde chuckled.

Seeing him on the distance, where he could not hear them, Rito decided to play the brother play and tease her little sister a bit, for the first time and not the other way around. '' So quite in love, eh? I thought it was just a crush when he saved you.''

'' You are the one to talk.'' Mikan deadpanned. '' Oh Sairenji! Sairenji I love you!'' She imitated him comically.

'' Shh! Shhh!'' Rito held a finger in front of his mouth. '' Nobody knows!''

'' Ah. Knowing how clumsy you are, probably everyone knows. I will ask Naruto when he comes back.''

A shiver ran through his spine remembering the incident on the classroom when he almost died. '' Please anything but that Mikan-sama.'' The orange haired boy bowed respectfully while sweating bullets.

'' Sure. It was a joke. You know that, right?'' What a wimp of a brother she has.

Walking around the mall center from shop to shop to find Risa but without any luck, he became a little frustrated when he would have to enter the sole shop he didn't want to go inside, and the same one that his gut was yelling at him to look first. The lingerie shop.

' I'm going to kill Risa when I find her.' Naruto gritted his teeth, fighting down a blush, gathering the strength to enter. With a girlfriend would have been embarrassing enough, but alone? He looked like a pervert.

Walking from cabinet to cabin to cabin whispering her name, he found himself dragged inside a curtain and sitting on a chair in a room full of mirrors.

'' What the hell? Risa why do you keep doing this stuff.'' He massaged his head that was hit against the wall when he entered. Looking up, he found Risa with an attire that made him grab his nose to stop a nosebleeding. '' What are you doing? There are cameras here.'' The blue-eyed blonde whispered harshly trying to run away before she stopped him placing her hands on his shoulders, her breasts in front of his face.

'' There aren't any inside the changing room.''

'' O-Oi, idiot. I can see everything.'' He tried to look anywhere else, but her reflection was showed up from different angles on the mirrors. There was no way out from there.

'' I want you to look at me.'' Risa whispered sensually, placing herself on one of his legs. '' If you don't I will just help myself with your leg.'' She threatened in a playful manner.

'' Stop joking! And, what the hell do you mean with help yourself?'' He saw her, of course, and she was too hot. She wore black lingerie which was open right in the middle and a bra that just held her breasts on the lower part, letting him see everything nipple included. Those were the same lingerie that his photographer kept teasing him with the possibility to do some photos with another girl while she wore them. If he wanted to do it with Risa, he didn't need to even take them off. Bad! She is a friend!

The brown-haired girl sighed at his innocence. No, wait that worked just fine for her. '' I mean that I will masturbate and cum all over you, so will you look at me?''

'' This is not funny Risa!'' He fought an atomic blush.

'' Who said this was a joke? I'm serious Naruto.'' She placed herself higher on his leg, shoving her chest onto his face. Meanwhile, she touched something that caught her interest. '' Here it is the legendary cock. I wouldn't expect less from you.'' She smiled pleased grabbing it from outside.

'' Risa if they catch us, we are dead, no, I'm dead, your father is going to kill me.'' He whispered harshly once again.

'' You know that dad loves you, so stop with the excuses.''

'' I don't think that he will love me doing this to you.''

'' But isn't it the other way around?''

His eyes snapped wide open when she kissed him, her hand opening the gate to free his monster at that moment when he let his guard down, taking something on her hand that even her as much as porn as she watched and how prepared she was, already knowing his size, impressed her. She couldn't even take the whole length with both of her hands!

' This is not the moment to retreat.' She thought determined, introducing her tongue inside his mouth while her hand began to stroke the tip of his length.

'' Risa, stop, hear me out.'' He tried to talk to be ignored by the brown-haired girl.

'' You always turn me on in a way that you can't imagine. This is your fault.'' She breathed deeply to catch some breath, her upper lip still in contact with his, looking down enjoying the sight of his dick on her hand which covered it on precum. This was it. It was swim or sink. She made up her mind, and she would get him or lose him forever, but she couldn't just wait till some girl would take him from under her nose.

Naruto's mind clouded from the pleasure enjoying the movements from her hand. He let himself go, one of his hands running low her stomach getting a grunt of pleasure from Risa whose vagina wetted even more from the expectancy.

'' I don't care what I become, even if I become a slut, just fuck me.'' Then it hit him like a cold shower. His hands went over her hips pushing Risa away a couple of centimeters, crushing her.

' This is wrong.'

' So, this is his answer. I lost him.' They though simultaneously. Risa's eyes began to water up, something that went unnoticed for the whiskered boy at that moment, who was engulfed in a sense of guilt.

How could he let himself go like this? He didn't want to hurt her. Man, he sometimes wondered if we had a brain at all. Hearing sniffling, he saw Risa clean some tears away, facing another direction. '' Risa, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.'' Naruto tried to explain, ignoring the fact that she was still naked.

'' No, I understand. Why would you be with a loose woman like me? You even said it yourself.'' She refused to meet his gaze, but he grabbed one side of her face gently to make her meet his eyes which were glaring at her.

'' I never said that. I rather die to hurt you. You are an incredible girl, even if we have some differences sometimes, we can always have fun even on those moments that we fight. You are my friend Risa. Never call yourself that.''

She closed her eyes enjoying the warmth that his hand emanated. '' You said I was a pervert.'' She let herself get consoled.

'' Aren't all we?'' He tried to lighten up the mood chuckling.

'' Even Kotegawa?'' She contained a giggle seeing his inner conflict. Not her fault that she loved to tease him even in these situations.

'' I'm sure that even her.'' She was going to kill him if she ever heard what he said.

'' Then why you don't want to do it with me?'' She muttered.

'' I don't want to use you, Risa. You should do it with someone you love, not just with some guy. I won't be able to forgive myself If I end up hurting you.'' He sighed placing her head on his shoulder, caressing her hair lovingly. Her eyes widened into an impossible length hearing those words. He didn't reject her. He was thinking about her, like always.

A small child with brown hair no older of 8 years old, ran away from the park without her parents noticing it, in a moment of lack of attention, a little mad of being lectured on the public. That was embarrassing. Looking behind to be sure that they didn't see her sneak away, she tripped on a small hole on the concrete. Scratching her knees when she fell. Sniffling, not wanting to cry in front of others as an adult that she considered herself. She stood up ignoring the pain from her knee, a small bleeding leaked out, because of the scratches. What should she do? If she turns back to her parents, she would risk to get them mad and again and get lectured once again.

'' You are tough.'' She heard a boy say. Continuing to sniffle, seeing the small boy, shorter than her by not too much with an appearance that was definitely not one of a Japanese. A Gaijin. She never saw one, just on tv shows, but this one spoke in perfect Japanese. '' Are you okay?'' The boy asked while grabbing her hand delicately which she immediately took away from his grasp, taking a step back.

Slapping himself mentally because of his lack of tact, something that the directed repeated him countless times, he tried to approach her once again, but this time with a different method, introducing himself first as Onee-chan Ana taught him. '' I'm Uzumaki Naruto. How is your name?''

'' Risa.'' She replied shortly, a small sting of pain ran through her body on that instant making her hiss.

'' Risa, I want to help you. Can I?'' He asked soothingly this time getting the girl to nod in agreement. Oh, look at that, the old hag was right. Maybe he should listen to her a bit more. On the other hand, never! As if he would give her the chance to rub it on his face. He could easily imagine her all mighty looking down on him with a stupid smirk on her face. You have no idea how much he would want to punch that stupid grin on her face on those moments. Shaking his head, focusing on the matter at hand, he smiled reassuring the girl. '' Follow me, okay? There is a fountain there. Let's clean up your wound.'' Taking the girl there and purring some cold water on her hand to clean up the dirt. '' Brave, aren't ya?'' He grinned complimenting her. '' My sisters aren't as strong as you that is for sure.'' He gave the girl some small talk, so her mind wouldn't focus on the way he cleaned up the wound. '' And done. Mmm, I should cover it up, but I don't have anything. Do you?''

'' No, not really.'' She shook her head on negation.

'' Then I don't have any choice.'' He took his shirt off, surprising the brown-haired girl.

'' W-What are you doing?''

'' Why are you yelling?'' Naruto sweatdropped, confused. '' I told you, we have to cover it up, so it should work with his. There nice done, I think.'' Not quite but the intention was what mattered.

'' Risa! Where are you?'' She heard her parents shout, hiding behind the boy. '' We have to go. I don't want them to get mad. '' She begged, but the boy refused gently, grabbing the hand which was not wounded.

'' It's okay. I'll talk to them. You will have me by your side. I can't leave my friends on this alone. Can I?'' The whiskered blonde grinned widely. And there he was explaining everything to her parents and covering for her to the point to bow his face into the dirty floor for a stranger. It was also quite comical how he changed his behavior, threatening them so they wouldn't reprimand her later.

After all those memories together and the strength that she gathered to jump onto him in such an extreme measure, and how come that she couldn't just say it? That she loved him more than she could ever love anyone. She sure was a coward.

'' Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, okay? I promise.'' The blue-eyed blonde winked at her which made her smile warmly hugging him tightly.

'' Thank you Naruto. You are the best.''

'' Haha if you say so. Now let's go Mikan-chan and Rito are waiting for us.''

'' Before I got up, I have to tell you something.''

'' Yeah? Tell me then.'' He said curiously.

'' Your dick is still out.''

'' Dammit.'' He cursed, trying to put his hard boner inside his trousers with quite a difficulty making the brown-haired girl laugh, standing up from his lap. After breathing to catch up some air, she noticed a stain on his trousers, a huge one, which made her blush madly.

'' Eh, Naruto, there is something on your trousers too.'' She turned around embarrassed.

'' Oh, you are right. Man, it's so big, and it's sticky too. Where I could have gotten this?'' He lamented childishly.

'' I think it's from me.'' The girl muttered her hand covering her private parts.

'' Eh? What do you mean?'' Naruto asked dumbly before all the pieces fell together. Holding his nose which was bleeding profusely, he tried to don't shout too loud, so he wouldn't alert anyone. '' RISA!''

Line Break

Momo opened the door of a certain room uninvited and walked in, wearing just some white panties with an open blue blouse and no bra as usual. Even if the boy repeated her over and over that nobody could sleep on his room and even less do it without clothes, but that surely wasn't going to stop her, not after she experienced the warmness of the candidate when she slept for the first time on his room, hugged on his big arms. Funnily he smells like ramen, probably by the quantity that he ate dairy, and strangely also of nature. Not that she complained, it just surprised her, but damn how addictive his presence was. If you think about it, he was the one at fault! You cannot give such an experience to someone and then take it from them. Then there were also his reactions in the morning when he woke up. Those expressions were just priceless. He was so cute all shy, trying to avert his eyes even if sometimes he eyed at her secretly. He was too pure.

But even if she was the one that infiltrated on the room, he was the one who beg for forgiveness countless times. Those were all good reasons to sleep with the blonde boy, but now since days ago, she has an ulterior motive. She couldn't help it but want to be at his side all the times. She was becoming fond of him in a way that she never thought it would be possible, even less she would be the one experiencing it.

Giggling quietly, a hand over her mouth while closing the doors behind, she walked till the bed, decided to slip under the covers like she usually did, but stopping midway when she heard the agitated respiration of the boy.

'' Naruto-san?'' She touched him, trying to wake him up and she felt his body cold, sweating profusely. Lighting up the small light at her side, she saw the bed wet, all around his body while his chest went down and up erratically. '' Naruto-san! Naruto-san! Wake up!''

She pushed him with more strength. Something was wrong, and he had to wake up.

Meanwhile, he was on the lands of dreams, having a nightmare. One that he never had till now, but strangely it felt so familiar.

Surrounded by black shadows, no faces and no differentiated bodies, just red eyes, looking at him while he had a chain attached at his neck. He couldn't see by the shadows if they were women, men or children but their voices gave it away.

'' Freak!''

'' Why don't you die?''

'' If you never were born!''

'' Freak!''

'' Go away!''

'' Freak! Freak! Freak!''

'' Just disappear!''

'' Don't even look at him! He is a monster!''

''Freak! Freak!''

'' Naruto-san!'' He heard this time, his body shooting up breathing deeply. He instantly went on denial, his hands grabbing the back of his head, his elbows touching his knees. Not aware of where he was and if he was alone or not.

'' I'm not a freak! I'm not a freak!'' He repeated endlessly, struggling to utter the words.

'' Naruto-san! Are you alright? Look at me!'' Momo grabbed his head forcing the boy to look at her. Her heart clenched because of the sight. His pupils dilatated, his face white, lost the color of his usual tan skin. Even if his eyes were in her direction, he couldn't see her, his mind overloading thanks to the nightmare. She hugged him tightly, his head resting on her shoulder, not sure what to do. His body was all wet, but she didn't care. Naruto-san needed someone to help him, to take him out of his pain. '' I'm here. Everything is alright. I'm here.'' She tightened her grip a little bit more while one hand caressed his large back.

Finally realizing the situation that he was in, his anxiety increased, scared to make a mistake. '' No momo get out! I can hurt you!'' He tried to free himself, getting up from the bed to run away.

'' No!'' She refused, grabbing his hand. '' You could never hurt me!''

'' What are you talking about? You don't know me! Nobody does! I don't even know myself! I'm just a freak!''

But she stubbornly refused to hear him and hugged him tightly retaining the boy on the place. '' That's not true! Don't ever say it again! You are not a freak! You are the man that will change everything! You will be the man who will save the universe!''

His eyes widened into an impossible length. He already heard those words from someone else. Haruna... Lala... And now Momo...

'' Why do you all believe so much in me?'' His body slowly relaxed, and his respiration rate returned to normal. '' I'm nothing special.''

'' And there is where you are wrong.'' Momo removed her head from his chest, but her arms were still surrounding his torso. '' I have seen it. I already saw the kind of person you are.'' She said, moving into the bed, dragging him with her.

'' What are you doing?'' He asked unsure, still a bit emotional from the nightmare.

'' Come here. Give me a chance. Mother always used this whenever my sisters or I felt down.'' She pushed the wet covers onto the floor, placing the pillow to give her some inclination to rest her head, while his rested on her stomach. She began to caress his hair, playing delicately with it. '' The Naruto-san that I know is the most incredible person that has ever lived. He is kind, quite childish sometimes, a prankster. He is someone who goes out of his way to help whoever needs it. It doesn't matter if he knows them or not. The Naruto-san that I know worries about everybody, placing other's desires and needs above his own. The Naruto-san that I know is not a freak. Because of your kindness, you will be the man who will change everything.''

The darkness of the room was not a nuisance because he could see it. The warmth that her eyes held. ' I feel... at peace.' He thought his eyes slowly closing to fall asleep once more.

Seeing the boy succumb into the world of dreams once more, probably because of the exhaustion, she smiled sadly seeing the strongest human who gained the attention of the strongest being, so defenseless. Almost two times her own size, strength reckoned and potential to become so much more, but he was just an adolescent who never had a family, with his own issues. How selfish were they? They have forgotten about Naruto-san in the way. Always so kind and protective, they focused on their own problems, on how to avoid that Lala would get married to an unwanted fiance and they forgot about him. But even the strongest have their own weakness.

'' Momo I will make you happy. I will protect you.'' He mumbled, the boy already asleep.

She could hear her own her heartbeat right now, a small blush rising on her cheeks. Even when he was asleep, he wanted to make others happy. How selfless could he be?

'' I have fallen in love with you Naruto-san.'' Momo kissed her thumb and graced his lips carefully to don't wake him up. All she wanted is to give him a life full of happiness.

Line Break

'' What have you done, Onee-sama?'' Deadpanned Momo, seeing a blonde child with whiskers marks across his cheeks. Wearing clothes too big for his size. No doubt who the child was. That didn't mean that Naruto-san didn't look adorable to the point where she fought against her own to don't take a photo and keep it forever. But right now, there was more important things to resolve.

'' Hehe. An invention suddenly activated. I don't know why, and it made Naruto-kun grow younger as when he was a child.'' Lala scratched the back of her head apologetically. '' It shouldn't take more than some hours to return to normal. A day at most.''

'' A day?'' Exclaimed Momo unbelievable.

'' Well that is just an exaggeration. Just in the worst case.'' Lala explained returning all the devices into their place fast to avoid any other accident.

Momo sighed, resigned and used at the kinds of trouble that her big sister's inventions carried with them. '' Come on Naruto-san. Let's go to change you into some clothes of your size.'' Momo bent, trying to grab his hand to help him, seeing the difficulty of the boy to move on those clothes. He was maximum four at best.

'' Who are you miss?'' The whiskered child refused to take her hand on suspicion.

Of course, he doesn't have his memories, that was just what they need it to complicate things. '' I'm Momo and this is my sister Lala, you don't have to be afraid of us. We just want to help.''

'' I don't know.'' Naruto mumbled insecurely.

'' Come on Naruto-kun, let's have fun. Don't you want to play?'' Lala smiled widely with her usual happy and energetic behavior.

'' You will play with me?'' The little boy with hope, that would the first time that anyone would play with him and they were being nice to him. Only Jii-chan was nice enough with him and he came by only once a month to talk.

'' Of course! Let's go!'' Lala carried him as a mother would do with their child walking away not noticing that Momo was left behind.

'' Why Naruto-san sounded so happy when Onee-sama told him to play?'' She frowned suspiciously.

'' Ahhhh? This is the pervert beast?'' She heard her twin sister's cry. It seems that she had, so putting for some moments and save the blonde child. Who knows what could happen in her sibling's hands?

'' So, he would need a couple of hours before returning to normal eh?'' Nana spoke with the chair, swinging it back and forth, her hands behind her head.

'' Mmm yes, but you cannot say that we are not lucky. We got to see Naruto-kun as a baby boy. Kyaaaah, just look how adorable he is.'' Lala hugged the small boy, giggling happily. She felt the boy stiffen for a second, not used of this kind of treatment. At the moment the blonde candidate was too small to sit on the chair alone, just seeing the top of his spiked hair, so Lala took the boy and sat him on her lap while Momo cooked, already the time of lunch.

'' Adorable? Sure.'' Nana snorted at her sister's words without realizing the effect on the boy. His eyelids went down, sad at her words. He was used to much more, but he thought that maybe they were nice people to him, that they recognized his existence.

But Momo did realize the pained expression on the boy thanks to Nana's words, and pissed, she reacted throwing at her the spatula, that was on her hand at her head making Nana fall backward, smoke coming out of her forehead. '' I told you to be nicer.'' The youngest twin growled, her eyebrow twitching violently.

The boy's shined for a second, seeing the girl protecting him. It felt nice.

'' Hehe look at Naruto-kun. He looks like he is having fun.'' Lala spoke gladly that the boy was enjoying himself. Pointing a small finger at her sister who was standing up caressing the small spot, that was throbbing on her forehead.

'' Say it with me Naruto-kun! Bad Nana! Bad Nana!'' The boy looked unsure to follow what the girl told him, but seeing the girl so enthusiastic, he decided to go along with it.

'' Bad Nana.'' He mumbled, trying to not offend the girl.

Hearing the boy say those words, the two sisters melted in front of such innocent reaction.

'' Soooo cuteee!'' Lala cried hugging Naruto between her arms, making the youngest deviluke worry for a second.

'' Onee-sama careful! Careful! Don't use too much strength.'' Momo jumped in making her eldest sibling pout at the lack of trust.

'' Mouu I would never hurt Naruto-kun!''

'' Onee-sama sometimes you forget how strong you are.'' Laughed awkwardly Momo, kneeling cheeking up the small blonde. She could never be too careful. Right now, Naruto-san depended on them.

'' That is not true! Naruto-kun loves my hugs. Isn't that true?'' Lala asked caressing his cheek with her own, laughing easily.

'' I'm going to be jealous if you just take him for yourself Onee-sama.'' Giggled Momo. '' Let me give you a kiss.'' She approached giving him a small chastized peck on his cheeks, making his eyes widen into an immeasurable length. '' For now, this should suffice. You are too young right now, so I hope you return to your normal self, fast.'' The girl smiled softly, but her words went unheard by the boy who was touching his face with his tiny hand, his hair covering his face.

'' You like Naruto-kun too Momo?'' Lala asked curiously while tilting her head.

'' Yes. I can't stop these feelings. I want to help him in whatever I can too. I'm sorry Onee-sama if this disturbs you, but I will not back down. '' Momo said softly already figuring what her answer would be.

'' Mmm? Why should it bother me?'' Lala smiled purely before her forehead touched the posterior part of the boy's head. '' I understand completely what you are going through and I cannot make you hold your own feelings for Naruto-kun. Besides, he needs all the love that he can get, so I'm glad that you will help feel Naruto-kun loved.''

As she expected of her big sister always so kind. She just knew two people so pure as her big sister. One was her mother, Lala being a carbon copy of their mother on the personality regard and the one that resembled the most on the physical department too. The other was Naruto-san himself and she couldn't say which one between the three of them were more pure, but maybe that was the reason that she was feeling so attracted to the candidate.

'' You will share a boy?'' Nana intervened for the first time, incredulous at her sibling's words. '' How can you do that?''

'' Why? Is something wrong?'' Lala asked confused at Nana's reaction. '' If there are any girls that love him then, of course, they should date him, well at least if he loves then back. But in this way, nobody gets hurt if there is a mutual feeling.''

'' Nee-chan you can't be serious.'' Laughed Nana awkwardly. '' This isn't like when we were children, and you let us play with your toys. I thought that you love the pervert beast. Won't it hurt you to see him with other girls?''

'' I don't see why you don't understand, but I think this is the best solution for everyone. I'm glad you love Naruto-kun, Momo.'' Smiled the eldest princess widely earning another one from her sibling.

'' Thank you Onee-sama. It would have been pretty bad if we had to compete. I don't want to fight with you. Let's make Naruto-san the happiest.''

'' Of course!''

'' I don't get it. This will bring a serious problem in the future.'' Nana tried to reason once again.

'' Mmmm I don't think so. Then also, if he is going to become the emperor, he is expected to have multiple wives to show his power.'' Lala said in thought grabbing her chin. Wait, now that she thought about it the boy was a little bit silent.

'' But that was before, even Papa doesn't have a harem and he is the actual emperor.''

'' That is because Mama doesn't let him have one.'' Momo sweatdropped at her mother's jealousy. Not that it wasn't justified. Their father is the biggest of the perverts.

'' Hey Naruto-kun, are you okay?'' Lala spoke lowly, grabbing his tiny hand. Hearing some sniffling and feeling some drops on her skin, the girl moved the whiskered blonde into one of her legs laterally, so she could see him. Her heart clenched when she saw him cry. '' Waaaah! Naruto-kun why are you crying? Don't cry please!'' Lala panicked moving her hands wildly, not sure of what she should do. Why was he sad? Did something happen? Did he feel bad?

'' This is your fault Nana apologize right now!'' Demanded the youngest Deviluke, startling her twin.

'' What? Why? What did I do?'' Nana felt confused and scared, not wanting to upset even more her sibling. '' Hey little buddy. Are you okay?'' She asked, sitting on her knees, trying to comfort the boy. She didn't want to make the boy unhappy. And why was he crying in the first place?

The boy continued to sniffle, one hand trying to clean the trails of tears while the other was always present on his cheek.

'' Woaah! Look how funny it's my face!'' Lala grabbed her face and stretched it, making strange expressions, but without any result. '' Help me out Peke!''

'' Y-Yes Lala-sama!''

'' Look, I'm a bear! A giant one! Or do you prefer a lion? Or a unicorn?'' Peke metamorphed continuously at its master words, giving her new outfits to cheer the boy up.

'' Nana, I'm going to kill you!'' Momo's eyes turned white, her teeth sharper, grabbing her twin by the collar of her red dress. Nana's skin paled, expecting the worse outcome for her out of this mess.

'' B-B-But I swear I didn't do anything!'' She pleaded as the last resort.

'' Thank you.'' They heard the boy speak on the middle of the ruckus, his voice broken. '' I don't even know you, but thank you.''

Momo's eyes softened approaching the little boy taking his tiny hands into her own caressing the back of it caringly. '' Why would you thank us Naruto-san?''

The boy sniffled, shaking his head, troubled to stop the flow of memories into his head. All of those persecutions, those hateful glares or the continuing cursing wherever he just showed up, why these people were nice to him? He never felt so good before.

'' Why are you so nice to me? Aren't I... a... a...?'' His voice broken on his throat.

But even though two of the three princesses were confused, a certain one, the same one that last night consoled him on his sleep, was being up on edge, her alarm's ringing loudly because of her gut instinct. That means that his nightmare held a deeper meaning, about something from his past. Before he lived on the orphanage and she needed to know it now.

'' What Naruto-san? What happened? What do you mean?'' She pressed a little but getting no answer, she continued to ask. '' Naruto-san, please.''

'' Hey momo, the pervert beast is crying. At least let him breathe a little bit.'' But her words fell on deaf ears, her sister continuing to ask the boy. This was important. Now he could remember his past because he never had forgotten about it in the first place. Once he would return to his normal self, there was no guarantee, he would remember anything. She can ease his pain if she knows the cause of it. '' Momo knock it off.'' Nana grabbed her arm, pissing her sister for being interrupted.

She could never understand about what Naruto-san was going through. She saw a part of it and she never wish for him to experience that pain again. '' Just shut ''

She was about to stand up when Lala's soothing voice interrupted her.

'' As much as it pains me, the truth is that I don't know you.'' Her words surprised the twins. '' I have been living with you, Naruto-kun for a couple of months, but I don't know you.'' The boy looked at her strangely. What was she talking about? This was the first time, he saw her. '' You are always so busy that I rarely have anytime to be with you.''

Ah, she is talking to the oldest Naruto through the youngest that was in front of her, sitting on her lap. '' But I saw it. The way that you take on everyone worries to make everyone happy, and then you took the heaviest burden on yourself and smiled without a second doubt. '' What was this strange lady talking about? It made no sense for him. '' You can have the whole galaxy as your enemy, and I will still be at your side. No matter the odds, or what people may think of me. I will be at your side.'' His eyes widened into an impossible length, hearing so much dedication. '' You are a human, the man who is destined to become the greatest against all the odds, but first of all, you are the man that I love.'' Lala laughed a bit pained making Momo's eye soften. ' Onee-sama.'

'' I know, I'm being coward, but I can't walk next to you right now. I'm just a burden to you. But I will be worthy to be at your side. Just wait for me okay?'' She asked rhetorically, hiding her face on his hair. She said it. She finally said it. Now she just has to work harder for it.

'' I keep forgeting about it, but sometimes Ane-ue is not just a childish person. '' Nana spoke breaking Momo out of his stupor.

'' Yes, that's true.'' She nodded, sighing heavily seeing now a more energetic Lala convincing the little candidate to go out for some ice-cream. It seems that she will have to hold it, for now, to know what the blonde haired boy wanted to say.

Line Break

Yui walked on the streets, a little mark present on her forehead. She was upset right now. And why? Well, her brother ran away, so he could skip the chores that he had to do this week, leaving her with the responsibility to do it for him. He sure was sneaky. So finally finishing the last chore after going to the supermarket to buy supplies of food, she decided to return home and relax for a moment of relaxing, before going to study and try to don't think about the boy that lingered on her head. Naruto. Thanks to her father now, she knew that she liked the boy, but what was she supposed to do now? It's not like she could ask him to take a walk out of nowhere, that would be too fishy. But she cannot stay put and wait for him to make a move. He never did before. Wait a second. Does he even like her in the first place? She cried internally messing her hair with one hand.

'' I got ya!'' She snapped out of her thoughts when a small child threw himself in front of her feet.

'' W-What are you doing?'' She asked surprised, but she heard an angry hiss typically coming from a cat and then she saw it. The little animal was cover in blond and missing half of a limb from the anterior legs. It had also a deep cut on one of its eyes and naturally, because of the pain and the panic it kept scratching the boy's small hand and his cheeks. Wait, what? He was a carbon copy of...

'' Don't worry little buddy, I'm here to help. I will take you to a doctor, you are hurt.''

It was incredible how similar he and the Naruto she remembered when they were kids. Blue eyes, spiky blonde hair and his characteristic cheek marks. His tone of voice was higher, but it was normal considering how young the boy was. Did he get a girl pregnant behind everyone's back? That could explain the reason for a period of time when she didn't saw him. They were months. ' How shameless!' She fumed indignantly. She had to lecture a blonde yankee when she meets him.

Feeling a hand tucking her trousers, she looked down to see the boy holding the cat, now with multiples scratches on his face while the cat bit his hand hard, the little child ignoring the boy. '' Can you tell me where I can find a doctor? He needs help-ouch.''

'' What are you doing? You are getting hurt!''

'' No!'' He refused stubbornly, actually mad at the girl. '' If you are not helping, it's fine. But he is hurt, I have to save him.''

His eyes... it held the same fire as Naruto-san held anytime he fought for someone. How could it possibly be? Her mouth became dry at the uncanny similitude. The boy turned around and ran to find someone who could give him a hand with the cat.

'' W-Wait I will help! I know a veterinary doctor. He can cure the cat. '' Yui shouted running to catch the boy.

'' Are you going to help?'' The whiskered blonde stopped for a moment.

'' Yes, let's go.'' The girl grabbed his free hand and ran towards the veterinary.

Line Break

Momo ran all over the streets, asked for help to thousands of people who were on the streets, none of them saw even a glimpse of the boy that she described them. Dammit, why does her sisters had to loose Naruto-san while she went inside the ice-cream shop to buy what little Naruto wanted. Each second passed by increased the possibility of the candidate getting hurt or be found by some of the contestants for the throne. This was not a moment to be vulnerable.

' You better find him.' Momo said before taking off.

' We will try!' Lala exclaimed looking around, not quite understanding the strange behavior that her little sister had since she heard that Naruto ran away. That was a short, but quite loud lecture.

Momo stopped on her tracks, not getting time to turn around before Nana clapped her big sister mouth shut, a shiver running through her spine. ' We will definitely find him.' And without turning around, she ran to find the main reason of her worries. Nana could swear she saw a black aura beginning to form around Momo's body.

It was their responsibility to take care of him, and they lost the blonde. How could they be so stupid? Feelings her legs burning from the exhaustion after more than one hour running nonstop, her anxiety oppressing her chest, she took her wings out not caring anymore if a human saw her. She will deal with it later. Right now, Naruto-san could be in danger. But before she could kick the floor or flap her wings, a voice stopped her mid-track.

'' So, I was right. You are Momo-sama. The youngest of the three princesses.'' She turned around to see a face familiar from the reunions of high royalty that were held every once in a while, forced to participate because of their father. He was tall, tattoos markings all over his face, and pointy ears.

'' What do you want Testa?'' Momo growled, not caring to wear her elegant mask in front of the prince.

'' Woah that it's something new princess Momo. I never expected you to have this rude behavior. Maybe from princess Nana, I could have expected it. But from yourself princess?'' The prince sounded sincerely surprised. Who could blame him? The youngest Deviluke was always reckoned to be the kindest and most elegant princess on every ball, but now she held an attitude proper of a lowly warrior.

'' I don't have time for you.''

'' No worries, I will just follow you. For what I heard from my sources, they informed me you could bring me to that fighter that is claiming Lala-sama's hand.'' The tattoed man smirked stopping her once again before she ignored him. '' I have a tactic to get him out of the way. All other's contestants are stupid picking fights or hiring fighters to battle for them. Brains prevail over physic. An assassination is sufficient. A clean and unexpected kill with no confrontations, losers.'' He mocked the other's princes.

But, oh wrong move. You shouldn't say that in front of a woman whose emotions are at their peak, stress overwhelming all the others.

'' You what?'' She muttered, her eyes lost all the life on them, hollow.

'' Of course Momo-sama. It's the most logical thing. Think about it. The most potential toxin carried by insects and they just have to stung him. His death will be fast and he won't notice. I know, I know, I'm too compassionate, but I can't hurt too much a lowly human, that would be like kicking a dog, that isn't-gaahg.'' He was lifted from the ground green vines tightening its grip around his body, and another one contracting constantly around his neck, cutting his respiration. '' W-What are you doing?'' His hand tried to lose the grip on its neck, but more vines grabbed it and held it close to his body.

Momo was holding her Dial looking at the struggling prince with a mixture of boredness and hate. '' You threatened Naruto-san. I will never forgive you.''

'' You cannot interfere. Have you gotten mad? It's against the pact-gaajh. The princesses cannot favorite a candidate nor participate on the fights those are some of the rules that your father, the emperor, agreed with the other kings of the planets. Will you risk a war?'' He managed to speak, the plants still suffocating him.

Momo expression didn't flatter for a second at his threats, quite the opposite her opposite her expression turned even colder. So that is why the Devilukes were so feared, he thought after he heard the answer of the princess before he fell unconscious because of the blockage of his carotid artery because of the pressure on it.

'' I will risk the whole universe being burn to ashes.'' And with that, she flew away. She had a little boy to save, no matter the consequences.

Line Break

They were waiting, sitting on the chairs, the boy focused on the bite marks on his hands, an awkward silence reigning on the room. At least awkward for the girl. Since the moment they entered the clinic the boy shouting to get help, and the doctor came to their little patient, he held the same meditative position while Yui tried to break the ice to at least ask his name, unable to do so. It has been already more than a couple of hours, so probably the doctor will get out any minute to tell them something.

'' He was hurt. '' The boy for the first time. '' I hope he is going to be okay.''

The girl smiled at the small boy with kindness. '' Of course, he is going to be okay. And you know why? Thanks to you. You were really brave, so young still grabbing the cat even though he continued to scratch you.''

'' It wasn't a big deal.'' The boy muttered kind of embarrassed. How it came that he found a lot of nice people today? He heard the girl giggle making him blush.

'' You remind me a lot of a friend of mine. Funny eh?'' The girl sighed with content, the image of the said boy coming onto her mind. '' But I will tell you something. It has to be a secret between the two of us, okay? You are a lot cuter.''

'' Waaah?'' The boy's back touched the wall surprised. '' What is that supposed to mean? You shouldn't lie.'' The whiskered blonde diverted his gaze.

The black haired girl giggled, finding amusing his flustered reaction.

However, at that moment the doctor who received them came out of a door with a nurse being him, slightly covered by the doctor's figure. '' So you are still here? I thought that you would have run away to don't pay for the bill.'' The doctor laughed hard, getting a slap on the back of his head from the nurse. '' Behave, sensei.''

'' I would never leave a friend behind.'' The little boy stood up with a frown.

'' A friend? You said it earlier that you just found it on the street, and I saw how it was biting you. For sure it isn't your friend, brat.'' The veterinary cleaned his ear with his middle finger bored.

'' Sensei.'' The nurse hissed ready to slap him once again before she heard the voice of the little blonde.

'' Yeah, you are right. We are not friends right now.'' His tiny hands tightened into a fist. '' But if I ran away then we won't ever be friends.'' He stated, glaring at the doctor.

' This is the same as Uzumaki-san.' Yui thought with wide eyes. Those were the exact words he said when he saved her from those bullies.

'' Hahaha this kid is awesome.'' The veterinary messed the little boy hair annoying him. '' Here is your future friend then.'' He got out of the way now, to let them see the nurse fully who held the bandaged cat between her arms.

'' He is still a little sedated, but he will be okay mostly. He lost one leg and an eye. I hope you will take good care of him.'' The nurse kneeled giving it to him.

'' I will love him a hundred times more than anybody, so he doesn't feel bad for losing them.'' He nodded before he became a little unsure of how to say what was lingering into his mind. '' I-I don't have any money. But I will work and pay you back. I swear.'' He exclaimed frenetically.

'' What? You think I didn't know? '' The veterinary turned around, walking away. '' Of course, you don't have any money. I'm not charging you because I like you. It's that simple. '' He waved before entering in a room.

'' If the wounds reopen again, please don't hesitate to come back. We will treat him. '' The nurse bowed before following the doctor.

'' Then let's see, how should I call you? You have yellow fur and you are kind of fierce. I think I will call you Raijin. I hope you will like it when you wake up. '' The small boy caressed his fur carefully. Then, he looked up, tilting his head at the sight of the teenage girl. '' Nee-chan your mouth is open. Are you okay?''She shooked her head out to get out of her trance, laughing awkwardly. '' How can I pay you back?'' He asked startling the girl before her eyes softened.

'' I didn't do anything this was all thanks to you.'' She bent over tapping his chest. '' I don't know how your heart can fit inside your chest seeing how big it is.'' If it wasn't because the boy was an exact carbon copy of Uzumaki-san, she would be looking at the phantom image of her friend next to the boy. '' You know what? A boy so nice as you need to receive a reward. Let me buy you an ice-cream.'' She stood up, holding his hand in the air waiting for the boy to take it.

First, unsure of what to do, but finally he decided to trust the girl. She seemed like a nice lady. She helped Raijin when he was injured. So, taking her hand while holding the feline into his other arm, they walked away from the clinic. Anyway, did she say ice-cream? Wasn't that something he had to do? Mmm cannot remember, well probably it wasn't that important then.

That wasn't what a certain princess was thinking at the moment. The sun was getting low, nearly night time already, and she didn't get a clue of where the boy that she was looking for was, and neither she received a message from her siblings.

'' Where the hell that pervert beast could be?!'' Nana shouted at the top of her lungs. '' Hell, if I could just fly.'' She murmured running from one street to another. But no, if she did it, Momo would just torture her to death. Wait a moment. If they don't find him and something happens to that loudly blonde, wouldn't that be it worse?

Her wings flapped out, not caring who would see her, flying at a speed which breaks the sound barrier, crying hysterically and fearing for her life. '' Don't you dare to even get a scratch on you! Pervert beast!''

Line Break

'' Buahahaha that stupid cat got in the way and now your motorbike it's all scratched loser.''

'' Shut the hell up! I didn't try to avoid or anything. It just scared me, and I made a sudden movement thinking, I would fall or something. If I knew that it was a cat, I would just run it over. Fucking animal.''

'' Well, I don't think that the cat survived. That little shit is probably dead by now.''

'' I hope so, fucking shit.''

'' Hahaha.'' A group of yankees yelled back and forth between each other.

'' If not I will just kill it, next time I see it, tch.'' And at the moment when he clicked his tongue, a metal bar met back of the head of the delinquent making him grab it and fall on the floor.

'' Fuck, what was that?'' They cursed before they say a boy not old enough to even pee alone holding a stick.

'' I will slaughter you pigs.'' The venom on his voice could compete with one of their own when they get really pissed. Maybe if he was their age, they would feel threatened, but right now was just humiliating. A fucking three-four years old messing with them.

'' You think you can fuck with us?'' One glared at the boy taking out a knife.

'' What are you doing? Are you crazy?'' Yelled a beautiful black haired girl, grabbing the boy and putting him behind her against his will. On one hand, holding an injured cat who struggled to free himself scratching her. Once he woke up, he began to hurt the girl and Naruto trying to run away from them. '' He is just a child!'' She reprimanded. '' And you what do you think you are doing, eh? You cannot hit people with a weapon.''

'' Let me go! I'm going to kill then!'' He struggled to free himself from her, choking the girl to her core because of his words. '' It was their fault that Raijin lost his paw and eye. It was their fault and they were still saying, they were going to kill him. They weren't even sorry!''

'' Let the kid go. I'm going to crack his head open.'' The one that was hit on the head, owner of the motorbike said swinging his bat fully.

'' Let's see you try, fatass!'' Naruto spat on his face enraging the teenager even more.

'' Stop it!'' Kotegawa begged. What was she supposed to do? '' Go home or I will call the police.'' Yui threatened with the first thing that came into her mind.

'' You shut up, oh? Isn't that the fucking cat that broke my bike? So I got at the same time to kill this stupid animal and this little shit that think he can mess with me. I'm going to kill you both.'' He pointed his bat toward them.

'' Stop! I'm seriously going to call the police!''

'' Shut up whore. Before you even grab your phone, I'm fucking killing you. So, don't even try.'' The bat went under chin before he got a good sight of her. Her eyes were glaring at him but fuck she was hot. '' Thinking about it a little bit you are sexy.'' His bat traced her body down till it arrived at her huge chest playing with one of her breasts. '' You know what? You suck my dick right now and let me do it raw with you and I will let them go. Of course, creampie included.'' And before he got the chance to laugh about it, the metal bar that previously hit the back of his head, now met his groin.

'' I will make sure that doesn't happen fatass.'' The delinquent couldn't even yell from the agonizing pain just grabbing his balls while he cried silently. Another strike went onto his back, another and another, endessly. How the fuck a kid could hit this hard?

One of them which were contemplating finally moved, going to the kill to stab him before a yellow feline jumped straight toward the hand holding the knife and bitting it as hard as it could. '' Fuck! Fucking cat let go!'' He tried to punch it away but the instant the cat intervened, making the guy yell painfully alerting the boy, he moved to land a strike on the jaw of the teenager and breaking the bone.

While one laid on the floor unconscious and the other rolled onto his back holding his mandible, Naruto spoke once more. '' I'm going to kill you.'' It was not a threat, but a promise. But that didn't put them into an edge. That was nothing new, just a daily thing for them. But his eyes were something else.

'' What the fuck is that?'' A tattoed guy gulped slowly backing away.

'' I'm giving you one chance. Grab them and run.'' Didn't his voice sound deeper?

'' Take them and let's get the hell away from here.'' They followed up instructions and ran as fast as they could.

Seeing those pieces of trash ran away, making sure that no one was hiding to hurt them when they were with the guard down.

'' Are you okay, nee-chan?'' The whiskered boy breathed deeply seeing that Raijin was fine.

'' Yes, thank you. Anyway, you cannot hurt people with a metal bar.'' Kotegawa reprimanded the boy who was behind his back, not seeing his eyes. He plainly ignored her when the cat licked his hand in gratitude. His eyes softened seeing the feline finally accept him.

'' I'm glad you are okay. I called you Raijin. I hope you like it. Do you want us to be friends?'' The boy asked quietly the fear to be rejected still lingering inside him. The feline feeling his fear jumped into his arm licking his face as an answer. Of course.

'' Lucky you. It seems that Raijin saw how pure your heart is.'' Yui smiled happy for the boy.

'' Naruto-san!'' A pink haired princess flew down, once her feet touched the ground, she quickly hugged the boy and the at on the process. '' I'm so glad. I thought that something happened to you.'' She checked frenetically on his body to see if he had any wound and hugging him again but this time tighter breathing on relief, her wings and tail still out. Finally, she found him. That was the worst experience she went through. She couldn't imagine what she would have done if he had been hurt or worse, because of her and her sibling's fault.

'' I-I'm sorry.'' He mumbled with remorse for worrying the nice lady.

'' It's okay. It's okay. Now that you are near to me, where I can look for you, I can breathe.'' The pink haired princess kissed his cheek once again making his heartbeat rise once again. Why does she keep doing that out of the blue? '' Oh is that a friend of yours Naruto-san?'' She asked now seeing the cat between them who was glaring at her annoyed.

But instantly what caught her attention were his eyes. Blood slit red eyes, but that wasn't the only change on his appearance. His nails grew larger along with his canines inside a black hinted mouth. His cute whiskers marks became rougher along with his hair which stood even wilder than usual. ' So this is what Zastin told me. ' It's true, there isn't any alien out there with these typical characteristics. He was a human, but then, this? This was the key to discover what happened to him on the past and what pained him on his sleep. If she found what happened or the reason behind his powers that would give him closure.

She gave him another quick kiss on the top of his head. ' Wait for it. I'm going to save you.'

'' W-What? T-Tail and w-w-wings? And N-Naruto-san?'' Yui stuttered, her mind not registering in front of her. The girl just came flying? How was that possible?

The youngest Deviluke sighed on acceptance. She knew that something like this could happen and she took the risk more than willingly to find her favorite candidate for the throne, but that didn't mean that this meant a lot of work and probably a lecture from Zastin and her father. '' Can we talk about this later? I just found Naruto-san. I want to take him home and there we can discuss.''

'' W-What are you talking about? Is that U-Uzumaki-san?''

Momo nodded, kicking herself for her stupid assumption that this girl had discovered the truth.

A light glowed brightly involving the little boy, and the princess smiled pleased while the earthling seemed even more confused. The cat jumped onto Momo's arms, calling worried for the little boy. '' Don't worry. He is coming back.'' The princess murmured caressing his fur to tranquilize the feline.

His figure grew several times larger until it reached his normal one, the light finally dying. How should I say this? The image at the end wasn't exactly what they expected. Here was Naruto at his normal age, yes, but he still wore the clothes as when he was a boy, the shirt all riped, not reaching his stomach just coverings part of his chest and the trousers, well, there was almost no trousers for the pleasure of Momo who drooled at the sight and made a mental photo for later use.

'' S-S-Shameless!'' Yui cried pointing an accusing finger at him while her face shined in a bright red color. '' Wait, no, what is happening?'' She cried for answers. What was going on?

'' Yui-chan? Wait, what? Ups.'' The whiskered surprised when a bandaged cat jumped into his arms and began to lick all his face purring happily.'' This is new haha. Are you okay buddy?'' He caressed his head not quite understanding the situation. Wasn't he on his house watching some of Lala's inventions?

'' Naruto-san!'' A body impacted onto his chest.

' This is a nice body.' Momo drooled once again, his hand feeling his muscle before regaining composure.

'' Hey Momo, what is going on?'' Naruto asked bringing her into a one arm hug.

'' Deviluke!'' An angry voice that she immediately recognized echoed through the streets.

Suddenly they were surrounded by robots and a rather pissed prince who was inside in one of them. '' Testa.'' Momo narrowed her eyes at the despicable figure. It seems that he chose to forget about the smart tactic, letting his emotions take over and come to confront Naruto-san personally. Lucy, she arrived earlier than him, but not more, than the candidate returning to his normal self. He will just get his ass kicked.

''Yous know him Momo?'' The whiskered blonde asked not slightly worried, playing with his new yellow pet.

'' Yes, he is one of the candidates for the throne, Naruto-san.''

The blonde sighed tiredly because of those idiot princes. Why couldn't they let Lala choose who she wants to marry? ' It seems that I need to teach another one a lesson.' The whiskered blonde cracked his knuckles at the thought.

'' How dare you intervene Deviluke?! Now I will kill you along with that lowly being, and then I will wage war against Gid if I need to, for humiliating me!''

Oh, another wrong move. This prince didn't seem to learn. Taking the cat from the top of his head and giving it to Momo, his eyes cold. '' Can you take care of him, please? Stay back. I'm going to teach him to don't mess with my friends.'' Momo nodded before she heard Naruto's embarrassed voice. '' And after this can I get new clothes? I look like a striper.'' He diverted his gaze, scratching his whiskers marks making the princess giggle.

'' Of course, Naruto-san.'' Walking towards the earthling girl whose mind seemed to overload, she put the feline over her shoulder waiting for the candidate to win.

'' Wait, what is Uzumaki-san planning?'' Kotegawa asked worried seeing the blonde placing himself in front of the small army of robots. '' We have to get the police or the army! He will just get himself killed!'' The black haired girl exclaimed worriedly.

'' No need. The only one that will need an army to the defeat the other is Testa.''

'' What are you saying?'' An explosion surprised Yui her hand snapping towards the source and her eyes widening seeing her childhood friend jump high, way more than an Olympic gymnast was able to, defeating one after another with extreme ease.

'' What is going on? '' She muttered, doubting what her eyes were seeing.

'' There is no need for Naruto-san to get help against suck weak foe.'' While the princess explained the situation, Naruto's powers, and his goal, he kept destroying robot after robot with high speed.

'' You damn earthling!'' Testa shouted enraged, pressing a button that made a gigant cannon appear from the belly of the creation.

'' I don't care what you say about me! But threat my friends, and I crush anybody, humans, aliens or gods!'' On his hand appeared a giant spiraling blue ball with the help of a clone. '' Odaama Rasengan!'' The attack impacted over the robot fully engulfing it, producing a gigantic explosion afterward. The two girls used their arms to cover themselves from the shockwave, Raijin immersing itself in the princess cleavage for shelter. After the smoke cleared, there he stood, giving them his back, over a pile of robots, standing majestically. '' Naruto-san will be the first human to govern everything, thanks to his strength alone.'' Momo felt pride inside, though she preferred that he would just marry her big sister to avoid any fight or risk. That sense of pride wasn't quite shared by Kotegawa who felt an enormous sense of betrayal inside her.

After the blonde finally dress up thanks to the spare of clothes that the princess had with her in case, he would have transformed back. He came out of the bushes seeing all the robots gone.

'' You are a lifesaver Momo, not only for the clothes, but for taking care of everything too.'' He grinned widely taking the cat who jumped once again onto his arms and fast climbed onto his shoulder.

'' I told you. We are a team Naruto-san. This is the least that I can do for you.'' Momo smiled enjoying the comeback of her favorite candidate.

'' Then we are a pretty good team. I know that I can count on you then. You took care of me when I was a kid.'' While he changed his clothes, Momo told him everything that happened since he was hit by the invention of Lala. ''Oh and Yui-chan I'm sorry you saw me like that. It was a bit shameless, but I couldn't do anything.'' He laughed awkwardly scratching the back of his head seeing the black haired girl rather upset.

'' Okay I have to go.'' She dismissed him walking away. But he grabbed her arm a frown present on his face.

'' What's wrong? Did I do anything else to upset you.'' Hearing no answer, the boy pressed when his friend tried to free herself. '' Yui-chan help me out on this. I don't know what happened the whole day. I don't know what I did.''

'' You are not playing it like this was a part. You are dense to such extent.'' She gave up on running away. She wanted to go before she said something that later she might regret. '' You never considered to tell us about what you were going through.'' Kotegawa muttered but didn't go unheard by the other two teenagers.

'' I wanted to protect you guys. If you know you might have been gotten involved maybe, and I would never forgive myself if any of you got hurt because of me. Last time, Risa was caught on the middle, and she almost got hurt.''

' No Naruto-san!' Momo though when the whiskered blonde made that mistake.

'' Momioka-san knew. I see.'' Yui pressed once again pushing him out of the way. '' Let me go! I don't want to see you!'' The blonde let her go a pained expression on his face.

'' I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you or anything.'' The whiskered blonde faked a smile that everyone could see through.

'' How dare you.'' Now it was Momo turn to talk or more like snapping when she saw her always cheerful Naruto wear again that mask. '' Naruto-san is risking his life to protect us, and you are treating like this. How can you be so mean?''

'' This has nothing to do with you.''

'' It has to do everything to do with me. Naruto-san is nothing but kind, he was thinking about what was the best for everyone. You hurt him, and you hurt me too.'' His eyes shined at her passionate words. '' You are just thinking about yourself. You are that selfish, eh?'' Momo frowned at the black haired girl whose hands turned into fists from the impotence. She was right.

'' All of this has begun because of your sister. How can we know that you aren't using him? The timing seems quite convenient, isn't it?'' She glared at the princess. '' Too much to be called luck. She needed a body to fight for her.''

'' Okay that's enough.'' Naruto intervened, but Momo just saw red. Not only she implied that her big sister was just using Naruto-san as a tool, making him look like a fool, but she also despised their feelings over the blue-eyed blonde who she and Lala came to love dearly. '' Onee-sama and me, we would rather return home and face the consequences than hurt Naruto-san, something that Onee-sama tried quite a few times, but was stopped by him. You, on the other hand, what? I already told you, you are just thinking about yourself, not caring at all about the risks that he is going through or if something bad happened to him previously or the pain that he is carrying. You don't deserve to be his friend.'' She spat, venom filling her words.

'' That's enough I said.'' Naruto grabbed Momo delicately, but she wanted to continue before he held her face and made her look at him. '' We can all just be friends, right?'' Naruto pleaded, closing his eyes with another smile while Momo tried to calm herself into his arms to don't stress the whiskered candidate anymore because of her. Kotegawa's heart clenching in pain at the sight.

'' Right now, I don't know if we are friends. Don't try to follow me.'' Kotegawa took off leaving them behind, Naruto's hand on the middle of the air, seeing the girl running each second further away.

'' I-It's all my fault Naruto-san. If I just kept my big mouth shut, this wouldn't have spiraled out of control.''

'' No, no. You protected me.'' He shook his head on appreciation.

'' I don't think I did a good job.'' Momo frowned, holding her head down on shame. However, the feline began to lick her face when Naruto approached her.

'' Raijin doesn't think so either.'' He grinned widely to calm her preoccupations. '' Can I leave Raijin with you? I need to go and talk with someone if you don't mind.'' She shook her head on negation grabbing the cat. A second later she saw Naruto jump high at great speed from roof to roof without knowing onto which direction or the reason or to see who. All she knew right now is that she didn't like a certain earthling.

Line Break

A blue haired girl walked into her room, closing the door behind her, wearing only a towel to cover her body after a so much needed relaxing bath. After a day sitting and listening to her elder sister's plans and tactics to use for the conquest, and I quote ' The heart of that dense idiot blonde'. She needed a moment for herself. It's true that the help from her sibling will be quite beneficial considering that she, herself, didn't know even how she could begin, but the energy and illusion of Akiho was maybe a little too much. Brushing her almost dry hair, she imagined herself following the advice of her sister, a giggle escaping from her lips. Going to eat together ice-cream, to the movies, a little shopping would be nice too. Wait for a second, didn't they already do all that stuff? Dropping her head a little depressed, she confirmed what her instinct was yelling her already long ago. The only way to get through him would be, confess or kiss him, and she couldn't picture herself gathering the strength to do so. What if he rejected her?

Hearing some knocks from the large window of her balcony, she snapped out of her thoughts before shrugging off. It was probably the wind or a bird hitting the crystal. She heard more strange noises before a voice that she knows all too well came as a whisper.

'' Pssst. Haruna-chan. Pssst. Are you there?''

'' Naruto-san?'' She asked surprised. Haruna ran to open the window, effectively seeing her blonde hero standing in front of her. '' How it's possible you are here? This is the seventh floor with no emergency stairs.'' The blue-haired girl asked, looking around to discover how he climbed till her room, leaving her clueless.

'' Mmm ano Haruna-chan. I didn't know you just finished to take a shower.'' Naruto scratched his whiskers marks, looking away with a slight blush across his cheek.

'' Kyaaah-mmph.'' She began to yell embarrassed realizing her state of undressing before the blonde covered her mouth fast.

'' I'm sorry but please don't yell. I don't want to be found by Akiho-neechan. I have something important to tell you.'' Naruto pleaded, his eyes showing a little bit of angst, something that alerted her. He let go, feeling a little guilty because of his sudden harsh movement.

'' Haruna, can I come in? I heard you shout. Is there something wrong?'' The voice of Akiho could be heard from the other side of the room.

'' I'm naked! Nothing happened Onee-chan! I thought that maybe I saw a cockroach, but it was just some dirt.'' She invented as best as she could, hoping that she will buy it.

'' Ew a cockroach. Thank god it wasn't. I wouldn't be the one killing it.'' Akiho walked away, the teenagers both sweatdropping. She would never change. Would she?

Sighing on relief, he turned around, not wanting to make the girl feel more uncomfortable, and so she could dress calmly without being worried about him peaking. But her mind already forgot her clothing state, focusing on the important thing at hand. Her friend was feeling some kind of angst, and she had to help him. That was the main priority. '' Naruto-san, is there any problem? Did something happen?'' Asked the blue haired girl, seeing the blonde's back tense.

He was not ready for this. He wished, he had thought more what he was about to say before rushing towards her house. He was scared of her rejection. He couldn't imagine what he would do if the girl who gave him hope, that looked at him with something else on her eyes, just rejected him. But he cannot back away now because she deserved to now. '' Haruna-chan.'' He muttered with the girl frowning at his low tone. '' I don't know if you are going to run away or if you don't want to talk to me again after, I completely understand.''

But then Haruna hugged him from behind, her head resting on his large back. She hated it. She hated to see the boy she admired in so much distress. '' I would never do that. You are important to me. More than you can imagine, so please stop saying this stuff. There is no way that I would ignore you or stop being your friend.''

His eyes widened feeling the girl tremble on his back. He is such an idiot. Turning around seeing the girl sniffling and wiping her eyes, he placed a hand on her cheek, his forehead meeting hers. '' Don't cry please.''

Haruna shacked her head on negation, still sniffling, trying to recover from her distress. '' It's just that it makes me sad. I don't want to see you like this, in pain. I want you to tease me like you usually do, telling me that I was just a joke with that big grin that you always give me. I want to help you out in whatever you are going through. Don't talk about yourself like you are some kind of freak.'' She sputtered everything that ran through her mind. She continued cleaning her cheeks while Naruto breathed deeply, stepping away from the girl. It was time.

'' I don't know what I am. Maybe I'm not a human. But from what Lala told me, I'm not an alien either.''

An alien? What was he talking about? Haruna looked up after she heard a puff to stay astonished when she saw two Naruto in front of her. Her trembling hand went to touch them, a sad smile ever present on their faces. They were real. How was this possible?

'' This is what I am.'' Haruna heard a spiraling sound coming from a blue sphere that rotated at high speeds on his hand.

'' What is that?'' The blue haired girl went to touch it, but it vanished before she could do it alongside with the clone who disappeared on a cloud of smoke.

'' This is a technique that I can use. Well, it's not like I know a lot of them. But it's incredibly destructive. It would have dismembered your hand off. ''

The girl's astonishment increased ten fold hearing those words. '' How can you do all that, Naruto-san? Wait a moment, you said an alien? Is that something-?''

''I don't know.'' The whiskered blonde interrupted her, shaking his head. '' But they truly exist. Lala, Momo and Nana are aliens. ''

Her mouth stood open unbelievingly. Was this some kind of dream? '' Why are you telling me this? Is there any problem with some aliens? You can stay here for all the days you need if you have to hide from them.'' Haruna panicked, her imagination running wild. Not that she wasn't right. The boy laughed happily thanks to her but confusing the poor girl. '' This isn't a laughing matter Naruto-san!'' She stamped her foot on the floor to get the boy serious. He was too carefree sometimes.

'' It's just that I was worried of how you would react, but you are accepting it and offering me help to hide from the bad guys.''

'' Well, of course, I'm going to help you if you have a problem.'' Haruna stated like it was the most obvious thing to do.

'' I know, I know. It's just that you know, I was kind of scared to lose you.'' He diverted his gaze shyly, the blue haired girl blushing at his words. She also felt kind of happy that she meant that much to him.

'' S-So Lala-san is alien?'' Haruna tried to continue with what the whiskered blonde was trying to tell her.

'' Yes, but Lala and the others are not just aliens, they are the daughters of the ruler of the universe.-

'' Woah.'' How was she supposed to compete with a princess?

'' Yes, and I will become the next one.''

'' W-What? Then are you going to marry Lala-san?'' So, in the end, she never stood a chance eh. Of course, someone as great as Naruto-san was logically going to end up with someone of his level. She was just a normal high schooler.

'' No, but I will still participate in the competition.''

Her hopes rose once again, but it felt confused seeing lack of parts on his reasoning. '' What do you mean by competition?''

The whiskered blonde sighed, messing up his hair with one hand, his back rested on the balcony his gaze focused on the pitch black sky, explaining the whole problem. '' Lala has to marry some guy between the participants, so she ran away, and she ended up into my bathtub. I saw how hurt she was, the desperation she felt to the point to give up on everything that she loved, and I promised to save her.'' As he continued with the explanation about the enemies that he already fought, the ones that he still needed to face and the reasons behind it, the blue haired girl went through a range of emotions that went from worry to a hint of anger, to understanding. But at the end what remained and sank deep inside her was admiration. As simple as that. For a stranger to take on the whole universe for the sakes of earth's survival and a girl's freedom.

He extended his hand towards the sky as if he could grab it. '' I will succeed and save Lala, everyone. I will become the greatest emperor that will ever exist. I will become the hero that you believe I am.'' He closed his hand into a tight fist, her breath stopping at his words. '' Because you saved me.'' Her mouth became dry while she listened her crush open up to her. '' I was a no one. I had no strength to keep going forward and that day when I met you, you saved me. You don't know how much those words freed me.'' Taking a small paper bag from his trousers, taking out a small red hairclip with a dog print on it as a design, he put it on her hair she used daily. '' I will become a man that you can be proud of.''

Her eyes softened, a warm feeling spreading across her chest, the sound of her heartbeat clearly heard for her. '' If it is you, I know you will make it. You will become the emperor no doubt of it.''

Humming softly and happily, he caressed her cheek losing himself on her eyes for a moment before he parted away from the girl much to her disappointment. '' Just wait for it. I want you and Akiho-neechan by my side when I finally become one.'' Nodding her head in acceptance, she saw the boy chuckle. '' I think she will prefer a party with all kind of princes over famous singers, eh.''

Haruna giggled, easily imagining the situation. '' I wouldn't tell it to her, she would stress way much than with your model career.'' The whiskered blonde's face lost all color on his face increasing her laughter.

'' Please don't tell her.'' He begged, bowing his head deeply.

'' But you owe me one then.'' Her hands went behind her back, enjoying this moment with her hero. The boy grinned widely before jumping back doing a somersault and falling from the balcony, surprising the blue haired girl.

'' Naruto-san!'' She ran to see the boy make an acrobatic move on mid-air to land on a tree and jumping into others with high skill.

'' Haruna-chan! Believe in me!''

She shacked her head in amusement as she looked into the distance seeing her love interest disappear at high speed. '' Why it doesn't surprise me as much as it should?'' She asked herself, laying on the balcony. '' I wasn't wrong. I knew that you were truly special.'' Haruna caressed the hairclip that he gave to her as she remained on that position for some time, thinking about her blonde savior. '' I'm already proud of you. I will always be.''

Jumping from tree to tree, feeling like he did it his whole life a wide grin plastered on his face thanks to his first friend.

'' Naruto-san!'' He heard from above stopping on one of the tree's branch to look up to see who was calling him. He stood up surprised for a second seeing Momo with bats like wings sprouting from her back, on her hands the injured yellow cat who was meowing at him.

At the moment she got near to him, her wings stopped to flap, and she began to fell, saved thanks to the blue-eyed blonde who jumped high, and grabbed her landing on top of a tree. '' Are you okay Momo? What happened?'' He asked a bit concerned. The cat seeing the blonde once again began to purr caressing his head with the fabric of his shirt, making the two teenagers chuckle.

'' Nothing to stress about. I'm a little tired because of all the emotions from the day.'' Feeling the warmth that his body emanated, she made herself comfortable between his arms, inhaling his intoxicating scent. '' But now it's all so much better.''

'' I'm sorry to be such a hassle, but thanks for everything.'' The whiskered candidate smiled warmly at the girl.

'' Why do you always have to apologize for things that aren't even your fault.'' She popped one eyed open fighting the tiredness that was overcoming her, but then all her fatigue was washed away when she found herself in one of those scenarios that every little girl dream on. A romantic moment that even if one could intentionally prepare it beforehand, could be for sure not as great as this one. On the top of a tree, being carried bridal style while just the light of the moon surrounded them. His eyes shined brighter than ever, unconsciously holding her breath the sight.

'' Because you are one of my precious people.'' Hearing the yellow cat whine, he chuckled thanks to his little pet. '' Of course, you are one of them too Raijin.'' The cat happily rolled over the pink haired girl's stomach, eliciting giggles from the Devilukean. '' Maybe it's a little strange for you because we met not long ago, but I cannot picture my life without you anymore.'' Why was his heartbeat increasing on this way right now? Why did he feel like this when he was with her? Why was he talking this nonsense to the girl who probably just wanted to sleep?

Momo's blushed at his words, fighting it back knowing that he said those words because of his kind nature. '' You know Naruto-san, you are a smooth talker sometimes. You could confuse a girl's hearth if you say these kinds of things.'' She laughed it off, making the blonde frown. Her wings still out, and her tail whirling around betraying her, showing how happy she was.

'' I'm just saying what I feel. Is it something wrong?''

The girl shook her head on negation, shying away, hiding her face with his chest once again. '' But if you keep saying those beautiful things, I don't know if I can restrain myself to jump at you and claim Naruto-san as mine.''

Momo moved her head, taking one side of Naruto's face with one of her hands, making the boy's face meet her direction to claim his lips.

His eyes widened into an impossible length, the kiss still lasting while time stopped just for them, and strangely he wished that this instant would last forever. He closed his eyes, unsure of what to do, a little nervous because of his first kiss. Momo feeling his tension and reassuring him, caressed his cheek, her fingers trailing his whiskers marks, tranquilizing him as if she was telling him that everything was alright. Keeping the kiss as a simply one but finally participating on it, he pushed away her hair from her face making the girl feel like thousands of lights turned on as if it was Christmas Eve.

Nothing else mattered. She was not a princess, daughter of the ruler of the galaxy and he was not a human fighting for her sister's behalf. They were just a boy and a girl whose feelings for each other kept growing every time they learnt something new or just spent some time together. They were just Momo and Naruto.

I hope you liked this one I really worked on it. I had a lot of fun writing about Mikan's almost solo date with Naruto hahaha. I'm a bastard hahaha. If there are any scenes that I absolutely enjoyed writing was the kiss with Momo. Finally, after I think a year already, I managed to make the scene that I wanted to write hahaha. Truth be told I began to write because of that. I would like to know about your opinion because I'm really happy with that one, I think it was really romantic even though I'm not a romantic person in real life. I just can find romantic something if it is something coming from an anime, otherwise it's just too cheesy. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks like that.

On this chapter I wrote also about two other girls discovering Naruto's power, I think I made it creative enough. The scene with Haruna on her balcony it was kind of taken from Romeo and Juliet of course not as great as it though. I'm not Shakespeare, even though I'm pretty proud of it though.

Then also we have the scene with Naruto being a little kid. I wanted to show a little of Naruto's old pain from Konoha, something that I accentuated with the nightmare and Momo helping Naruto ease his pain. I loved writing that too. I'm not really convinced that it was good when she kissed her thumb and gave him and indirect kiss but it's the best that I could come up with. I hope you didn't hate it or dislike it.

Then we have Risa hot moment with out protagonist on the changing room. Man that was hot, but it was also full of feelings more or desperation to see her love that maybe could be steal away.

I read that if I would write of how Naruto ended up on this world. Well I thought to write it when everyone discovered that he was from another world and saw his memories. But I think it's pretty clear. On the collision of the last attack between Sasuke and Naruto a break on the dimensional space formed and he fell inside, then he came as a child into the To love ru's world. That is the scene where the director of the orphanage found him with his arm bloodied, and that would be from the rasengan and the chidori colliding.

For the reviews that asked if Kurama will appear, well of course, but It will take time for that. Till Naruto's faces stronger enemies which I already decided that would be enemies from other worlds like Doflamingo and others from other animes, but just enemies, no luffy or natsu or other. Just enemies.

Anyway, I wish you a good end of year and to enjoy of your vacations. I hope you liked this chapter, it took a long time too, I know but studies come first. I don't know when the next one will be uploaded but it will take time. I have finals of anatomy and histology and I finish this chapter that was almost complete as fast as I could to give you at least another one before just focusing on the tests. I passed everything anyway, so I am quite happy and wanted to end this chapter for me and for you.

Happy Christmas!
