Again, nothing much to say so I hope you all enjoy the chapter.
(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or To Love-Ru)
"We're finally here!" Mio cheered as the students made their way off the buses they'd been on for the last three hours.
"I know, it took so long I though my legs were going to fall asleep on me" Risa commented as she got off behind her friend while stretching out her arms.
"If you think the ride was bad then you should try running the distance" Naruto said, having over heard the two.
"Funny. As if anyone could run from Sainan all the way out here" Risa responded to the blond playfully. Naruto's serious expression however had her gasp in surprise. "Wait! You aren't seriously saying you ran the whole way!" Risa blurted out. Sure, she new he was stronger, faster, and over all more physically capable than anyone else in the world but she didn't know he could run that far.
"Ero-Sannin dragged me out here last year for training. Neither of us have a drivers license so running was really the only option at the time" Naruto tells her and Mio as the students file into the large traditional style two story seaside in they'd come all this way to for their seaside summer school. "Though the pervert just ended up spying on the women's bath the whole time and we didn't get any training done because of it" Naruto grumbled, visible annoyed by the whole ordeal.
"Sounds rough, but exactly like Jiraiya" Risa tells him with a smirk.
"Hello, everyone from Sainan high. Thank you for traveling a long way to come here!" the inn's owner, a woman with black haired pulled into a bun in the back with a few strands hanging around her ears and forehead and wearing a light blue yukata, greeted the students with a bow as they entered the building. Behind the woman were several of the inn's staff in light moron yukata's bowing with her.
"Takamiiii! I wanted to see you!" the Principle cheered as he ran up to the owner with his arms held out. The woman's fist landing directly in the center of his face quickly stopped him in his tracks however. "You are so cold hearted, Takami" the man said as he knelled on the ground with a bloody nose.
"Hahaha! You're too forceful" Jiraiya told the Principle after walking up to the downed man. "You need to be more approachable and charismatic" Jiraiya told the man before receiving a quick but painful jab to his ribs.
"Welcome back Jiraiya. I wasn't expecting you too show up with the students" Takami greeted the man while holding up the hand she hit him with. Looking out over the students she quickly found the head of spiky blond hair she'd come to associate this man with. "Naruto, could you please keep your sensei under control this time? I don't want a repeat of last year" Takami called out to the blond, getting a few of the students to look at him oddly.
With a sigh Naruto told her "I'll do my best".
"Seaside summer school for the next three days! Guys, please get in touch with nature, and make lots of fun memories!" the Principle, now totally recovered from the punch earlier, began as everyone was seated in the main hall. "Anyway, we will have a 'dare' tonight! Please look forward to it" the Principle said while jumping around rather well for someone of his build. After finishing his small speech the man then jumped at Takami again, this time with a kissy face while saying "Right, Takami". The man received a decisive uppercut to the chin for his effort.
Later in the day
"Now, why don't we take a bath?" Saruyama suggested as he, Naruto, and the two boys they were put in a room with lounged around the room in the blue yukata they were given.
"Yeah, I could probably use a nice long bath right now" Naruto admits as he lay on his back staring up at the ceiling while one leg was propped up on the other. Earlier the blond had taken the first chance he got to sneak away from the crowd to do some training in the woods. It wasn't anything serious like decimating boulders with countless rasengans or anything like that but the blond still worked up a sweat out there.
"The girls are probably taking a bath now too" Saruyama added, a perverted look on his face.
"We should do it as men, don't you think?" one of the teens said, sharing Saruyama's mentality.
"What are you two planning?" Naruto asked as he stood up to head for the open air bath.
"Peeking, of course" the two answered in unison.
With a shake of his head Naruto told them "Don't blame me when Takami catches you" before leaving the room. 'At least they'll make some unforgettable memoirs if they get caught' Naruto thought with a smirk as he walked down the hall.
"Uzumaki" Naruto hears his name being called out as he's about to leave the changing room. Turning around reveals it to be Ren standing there with a towel around his waist.
"Hey Ren, enjoying the trip so far?" Naruto casually asked, trying to ignore the slight glare the duel haired teen was giving him.
"It's been fine so far" Ren reluctantly answers as he moves bast Naruto, headed for the water.
"Oh would you just lighten up already?" Naruto tells the boy with a pat on the back that nearly made Ren loss his footing on the wet stone floor as he flailed his arms to stay balanced. "We don't have to be at each others throats every time we run into each other" Naruto told him as he made his way to the water and proceed to slip in.
"Fine. If you insist, then I'll try to get along with you. For now" Ren relented with a sigh as he too got in the water.
Nine minutes later
"No way! She really turned your hair pink and bright green for nearly a year?" Naruto said, trying his best not to laugh himself to death as the two of them relaxed in the hot spring and telling each other stories from their childhood.
"Yeah, Lala's invention even effected my roots so trying to grow my hair out didn't work" Ren told him with a smile as he leaned up against the side of the bath.
"Man, I wish I had met you two back then" the blond says with a wide grin directed at his rival/friend.
"I don't. You would've just ended up helping her torment me" Ren tells the blond with a slight glare, even if his smile betrayed him.
"Exactly! How could I possibly pass that up?" Naruto tells him with a friendly elbow jab to the side.
"Yeah well-" Ren was saying when he suddenly stopped. Naruto was about to ask what was going on when Ren's growing sneeze became visible in the boys face. "Ah-ahh-Achooo!" and with that the boy became shrouded in a cloud of smoke that would quickly disperse, leaving a rather naked Run sitting in the men's bath.
'Shitshitshitshit!' Naruto chanted in his head as he racked his mind for a solution to the girls problem. Taking the first thought that came to mind and running with it, Naruto quickly reached over, picked the now surprised Run up, and jumped out of the water quick enough that anyone looking over at them would've said they simply vanished.
"Eh, you don't know what a 'dare' is, Lala?!" Mio asked Lala as she looked up as the Pinket sitting on a rock. "Oh yeah, you were born in a foreign country" Mio remembered the little white lie that was told to anyone that didn't know Lala was an alien princess.
"Yup! What is 'dare' anyway?" Lala asked, excited to know what it was as Risa and Haruna got into the water.
"'Dare' is" Mio began as she thought how best to explain it. "Well, in a nutshell, it's a game where a girl and boy pair up and walk to the goal on a dark road at night" Mio explained to the pinket.
"Eh? Walking at night is so easy" Lala said, not sure why this is so special.
"But it doesn't work that way!" Mio responded. "There will be ghosts that block your way and put-" Mio was saying when Risa finished it.
"Curses on youuuu" Risa said in a creepy voice right behind Haruna, sending a chill down the purple haired girls back. "Of course, that'll be done by people who play ghosts" Risa added instantly changing her creepy voice into a cheerful and upbeat one, even if Haruna was now covering her chest while watching the blond over her shoulder now.
"Out of the way!" the girls heard just before something landed in the water next to them, splashing water every where. Up on the rocks above the spring Saruyama and his cohort we busy picking themselves up after a yellow and green blur has pushed them aside.
"What was that!?" Haruna asked just before Run popped her head out of the water and started coughing due to the sudden dive. 'Huh? But wasn't that Uzumaki's voice just now?' Haruna wondered as her and the others started at the green haired girl.
"Ah!? Run!" Lala happily cheered as she bounded over to the green haired girl and embraced her.
"La-Lala!?" Run let out in surprise as the pinket hugged her. "What happened to Naruto?" Run asked getting confused looks from most of the others.
'I just need to slip out while no ones paying to much attention' Naruto thought to himself as he slowly poked his head out of the water to just below his eyes at the edge of the spring so that he could look around, long golden hair leading back into the water.
"You're not getting away this time" Risa's vice came from directly behind the blond, sending a shiver down his spine as he could tell without even looking that she was up to her usual mischive. With lighting fast movements Risa's hands shot out into the water while Naruto was still surprised, latching onto their intended targets. "Oh, it's been to long since I was able to do this. You really should use this form more often" Risa teased Naruto as she groped Naruto's sexy justu's breast with one hand while the other roamed over the perfectly crafted curves of 'his' body.
"Risa!" Naruto yelped as 'he' found himself being assaulted by his fellow blond. "S-Stop! Let me go!" Naruto panicked as 'he' tried to get some a good hold of the wet, slippery stones to help pull himself out of Risa's hold. The whole time Risa was yanking cute moans and gasps from the 'girl' in her arms.
"Naruto! I didn't know you were going to bath with us!" Lala happily said as Run and Haruna looked on in shock from either side of the pinket. Run for seeing her beloved Naruto receiving Risa's slightly more aggressive than normal teasing, and Haruna for seeing Naruto as a girl.
Some time later
"You're evil. You know that?" Naruto told Risa as 'he' leaned over the edge of the spring staring at the wall with 'his' head resting on 'his' arms. Lala sat next to him as she ran her fingers through the long golden locks of hair fanned out in the water behind Naruto. To the other side Run sat just with in an arms length from the blond, a faint blush on her cheeks as she'd every few seconds or so glance over at the blond trying to figure out what to do with him like this.
"Well maybe you shouldn't stop me from having fun for so long" Risa playfully said as she turned her head to the side with a mock pout.
"Hey, maybe the two of you will end up as a pair for the 'dare' and end up becoming a couple after you make it to the goal!" Mio said getting everyone else's attention.
"Eh!? Really? We'd end up a couple if we reached the goal?" Risa asked, already interested in this.
"Is that really how it works?" Haruna asked, briefly picturing the two blonds as a couple before shaking it out of her head with a blush.
"Yup! It's the 'dare' jinx. Whichever courageous pair makes it to the goal in the seaside summer school's 'dare', will surely become a couple. Many people became couples because of this in previous years!" Mio told the group.
"You hear that Naruto? If we get paired up we'll become the most talked about couple in the school" Risa teased as she called out to the blond.
"Then if I get paired up with you I'll just stand at the starting line all night" Naruto told her with a smirk as 'he' just let 'his' body relax in the warm water with closed eyes.
"Maa, meanei" Risa shot back at him with another mock pout
"'Dare sounds fun! I'm so looking forward to it" Lala joyfully said as she took a brief pause from combing her fingers through Naruto's hair.
''Dare', huh?' Haruna thought as she stared at Naruto absentmindedly.
'I have to make it to the goal with Naruto no matter what. I won't lose to Lala or anyone else!' Run thought with nothing but shear determination as she eyed up her pink haired rival.
Meanwhile
"How the hell is the brat that lucky!?" Jiraiya shouted to himself from his vantage point at the top of a distant tree, telescope in hand and full of envy and pride for the boy right now.
