A Kitsune's Dream
Chapter 10: I Said Dattebayo!
Louise Wrynn, daughter of Anduin Wrynn and heiress to the kingdom of Stormwind, was bored. She was a beautiful girl with hazel hair and silver eyes, all traits she had gained from her now-dead mother. Her convoy, consisting of twenty of Stormwind's finest knights and paladins riding on gallant horses, escorted her carriage on the roads near the ocean. She had gone on a short trip northwest of Stormwind to visit her aging and sick aunt. The princess of Stormwind had fun helping take care of her aunt. Her aunt didn't treat her like a princess at all, and loved the girl who lived behind the royal blood. Louise even tolerated the long and boring trips just to see her aunt and take care of her.
"Milady, we are going to set up camp on the coastline. It's at your favorite spot." The captain of the convoy guards said as he rode alongside Louise's carriage. The captain was a young brown-haired man with freckles and paladin by the name of Derik Quirk. Although he was the leader of the guards, he was very young, only three years older than the princess. He had known her since she was a child and they treated each other like siblings.
"Set up my tent…" Louise said, boredom practically dripping off of her voice. "And let me change out of this damned dress."
"Yes milady." Derik answered
He barked out orders to the other guards. A couple of knights dismounted and immediately began to construct a corral to hold the horses. A few more began patrolling up and down the coastline. Half of the rest began to set up tents. The others surrounded the entrance of the carriage to guard the princess. It was their highest priority. The princess got out and the bright sun shined on her sparkling royal dress. The dress was light blue, with frills and fluffs on her shoulders, waist, and neckline. The guards constructing her large, house-sized tent immediately stepped out as the princess stepped inside. The guards took up posts around the tent's perimeter. Louise exited soon after, in a light blue blouse, white knee-length skirt, and the white robe of a priest. Louise was a prodigy in the healing arts. At her age, she already rivaled the chief priests at the infirmary in Stormwind.
"Captain Quirk! Lady Wrynn!" A paladin shouted as he came back from his patrol. "I found a boy's body washed up down the beach! He needs help!"
Derik motioned to two other guards. "You two! Come with me!"
They followed the paladin back to an unconscious boy with a black trench coat and a golden-furred tail…
Louise took a damp cloth and put it on the boy's forehead. She had taken off the strange cloth headband in order to do this.
The paladins and knights had quickly brought the boy to camp and tried to take care of him, but the princess immediately offered to nurse him. Derik and the others quickly disagreed, just in case the boy was a pirate or bandit. Louise had shaken her head and had them take the boy to her tent. The guards had laid him down on her collapsible bed.
The boy groaned. Louise took this time to examine him. She had opened his strange shirt that closed by folding the sides over each other and tying it with a belt attached to the back of the shirt.
The boy was exceptionally built. He had rippling muscles, but not too much. The princess ran a hand over his chest and abs, marveling at how hard yet soft they were. Louise suddenly pulled her hand away and blushed. She had seen a lot people who had this kind of body. Why was she blushing?
Louise looked at the three different items that were hung around his neck. There was an orange and red spiral item that had a strange rune-like symbol on one side. Another was a beautiful teal jewel that hung on a golden thread. The last was a golden cross-shaped symbol with a red outline and diamond-like gem in the middle.
The princess looked at the boy's face. He had spiked sunny-blonde hair and tanned skin. Louise could also tell that behind the cloth mask, the boy was handsome yet still held a boyish look. The Stormwind heiress gently hooked her finger at the top of the mask and prepared to pull it down. She blushed at the surprisingly warm temperature of the boy's skin. Suddenly something brushed against her shin.
The princess looked down and saw the boy's most peculiar trait. He had a tail. More precisely, a golden colored fox tail, with a white tip. Louise looked at the boy's face again and resumed slowly pulling down the boy's mask. She had barely uncovered the bridge of the nose when the blonde's eyes shot open. The boy stared at her for a second and she stared back. Louise was intrigued for a second by his cerulean blue eyes. The boy gently took her hand away from his face and pulled his mask up.
"Where am I? Who are you?" The boy asked. But before she could answer, Louise blinked as she felt something furry brush the inside of her thighs. She looked down and found the blonde's tail heading up her skirt. Louise blushed heavily.
"P-P-PERVERTED FOX!" Louise screamed as she slapped the boy's face as hard as she could. The blonde comically flew off the bed and rolled onto the floor, unconscious. Derik and few other knights rushed into the tent, swords drawn.
"What happened, milady!?" The captain shouted. He raised an eyebrow as he saw Louise blushing a deep crimson red. Derik looked at the blonde and saw he had an imprint of a hand on his face. The brown-haired paladin sweatdropped.
"Itai! Itai!" Naruto flinched as Louise put a pack of ice on his cheek.
"I'm sorry for slapping you so hard." The princess said sheepishly. "And to think I'm supposed to heal people, not hurt them."
"It's ok, really!" Naruto smiled. "It's my tail's fault for having a (perverted) mind of its own."
"By the way, we haven't properly introduced ourselves." Louise smiled as well. Naruto blushed at how pretty she looked. "I'm Louise Wrynn, princess and heir to the throne of Stormwind."
"Sugoi! So you're a princess!?" Naruto asked with wonder. The hazel-haired girl giggled and nodded. "I'd never think I'd meet a princess! Well, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, traveling mercenary from the Elemental Countries."
Louise tilted her head in confusion. "Elemental Countries? Where is that?"
Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, you see, I don't come from this world. I had found a relic of sorts that transported me here. Want me to tell you about it?"
The princess suddenly felt that her trip home would be less boring that she thought.
"Dammit Syla, it's your fault we don't know where Naruto is!?" Riku screeched at the green-haired twin as they got off the ship and headed into Stormwind.
"It's not my fault. That pervert tried to take advantage of me!" Syla argued back, huffing and puffing as she was being forced to carry all the luggage.
"Oh really?" Riku said with a speculating look. "If I remember correctly…"
Furasshubakku no Jutsu!
Naruto and Ryla stood next to the railing that kept passengers from falling off the ship. Ryla was laughing at the blonde's joke regarding the ship's captain. Syla and Riku stood on the opposite end of the ship to Stormwind. Syla was glaring angrily at one of them. Riku couldn't really tell who.
"Hey Syla, who are you glaring at?" Riku asked her after some time.
Syla looked surprised and blushed a bit at her question. Then she shook her head an answered."Naruto of course. If that pervert does anything to my sis' I'll…"
"I doubt that he would." Riku smirked. "Maybe you're glaring at Ryla instead?"
"W-what!?" Syla stuttered. "Why would I glare at Ryla!?"
"Because she's spending more time with Naruto than you are…" Riku said, an evil glint in her eye.
Syla blushed. "What are you saying?"
The draenei rolled her eyes and grabbed the green-haired night elf's shoulders. "You. Like. Naruto."
"W-w-w-w-what!?" Syla exclaimed, her mouth wide open with shock. "You're crazy!"
"Hey Syla, Riku, what's up?" Naruto said, suddenly appearing behind Syla. The warrior freaked out in surprise and shoved Naruto away. The blonde stumbled back and slipped on a wet part of the deck. He flipped over the railing and fell into the ocean.
"Naruto!" The girls exclaimed as they looked over the railing. Then the gods decided to mess with them by suddenly starting up a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt struck the water in front of the girls, spraying them with freezing cold drops and shocking them at the same time. The crew appeared on the deck and scrambled to get the passengers to safety. The sailors forced the girls and the other passengers to go inside the ship.
"Wait! Our friend fell in the ocean!" Riku argued with the sailor pushing her back inside.
"I'm sorry miss, but this storm looks bad. If you stay out here, your friend won't be the only one that will end up in the ocean." The sailor said.
"Naruto!" Ryla shouted just as the door closed.
Furasshubakku no Jutsu, Kai!
"Riku is right, Syla." Ryla joined in. "It's really your fault that Naruto fell overboard."
Syla hung her head down. "I'm sorry…"
"You'll be forgiven. You just have to help us look for Naruto." Riku said. "He's the reason we're in Stormwind in the first place. It's to help Naruto get home. I'm sure you want to help him as much as we do."
"Yeah, I do. Thanks, Riku." Syla said with a small smile. Riku grinned back.
Ryla put her arms around both of them. "Group hug!"
"I see…" Louise nodded as she and Naruto rode in her carriage. It was the next morning and they had resumed traveling to Stormwind. "So your best friend almost killed you?"
Naruto nodded. "Well, it was mostly the Cursed Seal Orochimaru put on him. It caused him to try to get power at any cost. He snapped out of it when I beat him and dragged him back to Konoha."
"But then the village exiled you." Louise frowned.
"Yeah. It was because of my special abilities." Naruto said. He, like with the twins and Riku, refrained from telling Louise of Kyuusei. "They feared it was demonic magic. Added to the fact that I harmed their precious Sasuke."
Louise frowned. She took Naruto's hand gently in hers. The blonde Jichuuriki looked up in surprise. A small blush formed on both of their cheeks.
The princess looked at him with a serious look. "Don't worry Naruto. I'll do what those villagers didn't. I acknowledge you."
Naruto smiled, tears in his eyes."Thanks Lo-"
BOOM!!
A ball of flame slammed into the carriage. Louise blacked out as the carriage fell onto its side. Naruto struggled to stay conscious as he opened the door above him. He heard Derik barking out orders and the battle cries of men. Soon those battle cries turned into cries of death.
Outside, bandits attacked the convoy. They came in waves of flesh, leather, and metal. Derik held off a pair of bandits who brandished giant two-handed swords. They alternated attacks, leaving Derik no room to cast a spell or counter-attack. The paladins immediately enchanted themselves and rushed into battle, swinging their holy maces. The bandits roared as they chopped and hacked down guards through use of superior numbers. A man that looked more orc than human chuckled evilly. He was obviously the leader.
The man used a six-foot long club to sweep away guards left and right as he advanced towards the carriage. He climbed onto the side and grabbed Louise by her robe from the inside.
"Louise-hime! Give her back!" Naruto exclaimed. The man backhanded him with the same hand he was using to hold Louise's robe.
"Impudent child! You think you or the rest of this petty guard can protect the princess! Fool!" He taunted. "I shall ask the king for ransom. Or better yet, his daughter's hand in marriage for her life! Then when the king passes, I will be the new king! I can see my name already, King Slythis! I will make my bandit force, the Dark Fangs, the strongest army in Azeroth and we shall finally destroy the Horde!"
Slythis jumped down and batted away paladins and knights as he heaved the princess onto his shoulder. "Retreat!"
The bandit force broke off from the remaining paladin guards and ran off into the forest, leaving dead bodies and carnage.
"Milady!" Derik shouted out. Suddenly a deadly presence was felt. It was a powerful aura that made Derik feel in the back of his head that he was going to die, then and there. "W-what is this?"
Derik and the surviving knights turned to the carriage. A red and blue energy was escaping from the inside of it. Naruto climbed out and stood on the carriage's side. His eyes were glowing with anger. They had changed color. They were a deeper royal blue, with a teal rim. Naruto's hair was more unruly than usual and his tail was swishing slowly behind him.
"That bastard wants to use Louise-hime as a way to gain power." Naruto said as his hair shadowed his eyes from the view of Louise's remaining convoy. "Just like Orochimaru… He used Sasuke to gain power… That Slythis… That. That…"
"BASTARD!" Naruto roared as he looked up. His Aoihisuigan had slitted pupils now. He jumped off the carriage and into the forest with near untraceable speeds, leaving the shocked paladins and knights. Derik looked in awe at the raw power the boy produced.
A paladin slowly tapped the captain on the shoulder. "Should we go after them?"
Derik shook his head. "No. I have a feeling that brat can handle it."
An hour later, Slythis and his lieutenants sat in his large cabin, celebrating their victory.
"To the new kingdom of Stormwind! To the Dark Fangs!" Slythis cheered, raising a mug of ale.
"Huzzah!" His lieutenants cheered with him. An unconscious Louise sat, tied up and blindfolded, next to Slythis's chair. The giant bandit leader looked down at her.
"You should be grateful, princess. We Dark Fangs are the future, and you are part of it!" Slythis said, pounding his chest with pride.
One of Slythis's lieutenants came up to the young priestess. "This one is quite a looker."
"Yeah. I guess there are other benefits to marrying her, too." The Dark Fangs leader said with a perverted grin. The lieutenant laughed.
"She's a C-cup, probably a virgin." The sick man said, licking his lips. He cupped his hand over her right breast. Louise whimpered in her sleep. "Hey boss, can I have fun with her first?"
"Yeah, sure. I prefer experienced women anyways." Slythis looked down at them, ale dripping down his chin. The lieutenant smirked as he put his finger under her chin and brought her face up to his. His lips were an inch away from hers when…
"Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu!"
A ball of fire exploded into the side of the room. Slythis and the other bandits stood up and drew their weapons. Several of them gasped as they saw the outside. The camp outside of their cabin was devastated. Everyone outside was either dead or unconscious, except for one figure. A figure with a fox's tail.
"It's the brat from the carriage!" Slythis exclaimed. "How'd you find us!?"
Naruto scrunched his face up in disgust. "I followed the scent of filth."
Slythis slammed his club into the ground. "You DARE challenge the Dark Fangs!"
The perverted lieutenant and another bandit flanked Slythis's sides. They summoned fireballs in their hands and launched them at the blonde Jinchuuriki. Naruto drew Tempest and batted them away.
"Is that the best you got!?" He taunted them.
Slythis growled. This brat was mocking him! He pointed at Naruto's chest. "First one to retrieve his heart will get to sleep with my future bride!"
The bandit officers all laughed pervertedly. Naruto growled deeply at that. 'He… Is offering her as a prize now!? You're not a bastard… You're a demon!'
The officers charged at him with various weapons while the two at Slythis's side began to conjure up fireballs. Naruto put his hands up in his favorite hand-seal.
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted. Several clones appeared to match the numbers of the bandits. "Let's go, dattebayo!"
"What?" One stupid bandit said. He was suddenly impaled by three Tempest clones.
"I said 'Dattebayo'!"
"I wonder how Naruto is right now…" Ryla said, staring up into the night sky from the girls' inn room.
"I'm worried about him too, Ryla. But I'm sure he's fine. If he can stand up to Illidan the Betrayer, the he can stand up to anything other than the Lich King himself." Syla encouraged her.
"Suiton: Suijinheki!" Naruto said. Water vapor in the air condensed and formed a circular shield of swirling water around him. The bandit mages threw fireball after fireball at him, none of them penetrating the watery shield.
"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!" Two voices said from under the two mages. Suddenly both of them were buried neck-deep into the ground. Two Kage Bunshin popped out of the ground, giving thumbs up to Naruto.
The original blonde ran towards Slythis, who was busy dispelling several of Naruto's clones. The blonde activated his Aoihisuigan and began to swirl chakra in his palm. Shards of jade appeared out of nowhere and swirled into the forming ball of chakra as well. The Jinchuuriki sent a barrage of killer intent towards the bandit leader. The man suddenly froze in place. He slowly turned around to find the blonde running at him with a royal blue sphere in his palm.
'What is this power? What is this feeling that I'll die?' Slythis thought, still stunned by Naruto's killer intent. The blonde looked into his eyes with his slitted Aoihisuigan. The bandit leader promptly emptied his bowels right then and there.
"This power… This feeling…" Naruto said just as he prepared to thrust his arm forward. "Is my will to protect Louise!"
Slythis cried out as the ball was thrust into his chest. "Hateshiganai Hisui no Rasengan!"
The Rasengan exploded, the jade shards embedded deep into the bandit leader's flesh. The jade shards suddenly began to expand and multiply, covering every spot of Slythis's skin. The jade itself exploded in a shower of teal chakra. Slythis's screams could be heard for miles.
