########Prince########

Kushina gave a pleasant hum and whistle as she started cooking the eggs and rice for breakfast. The mother couldn't help but give a giddy laugh and smile at the scenario at play.

She couldn't remember the last time she cooked for so many people like this. Probably not since Naruto, Rito, and Mikan were younger and they came to sleep over. Awww, she was feeling all warm and gooey inside at the nostalgic thought.

"Good morning, Kushina Uzumaki."

The mother of the household heard the first greeting today and turned around to see the newest tenant of her house, the short blonde-haired girl in her pajamas standing by the table. Kushina greeted her, "Well, good morning...um..." Kushina was drawing a blank about what to call her after hearing so many names being used yesterday. She smiled, "I'm sorry but what do you prefer me to call you?"

The girl was silent as she blinked before stating in a stiff monotone, "I have many names in many different languages across the galaxy, but I am most often referred to as Golden Darkness."

...

Kushina blinked awkwardly before tilting her head, "Okay~...and would that be your preference?"

The blonde girl remained quiet for a moment, "Princess Lala seems to prefer 'Yami-chan'. It is a shorter name and seems easier for people to remember, so you may use that one if you want."

She looked at the girl questioningly, "What about you? Don't you have a name you like to go by?" Yami didn't responded and just stayed stone-faced before Kushina asked, "What did your parents call you?"

Yami didn't do anything as she continued giving Kushina an unnerving stare. The older redhead seemed concerned that the young assassin didn't say anything before she finally spoke, "I do not have parents."

Kushina showed a sad expression at the emotionless way Yami said that. She gave the girl a small smile before nodding, "Okay. Then I guess I'll call you Yami."

"If that is what you wish."

Kushina started flipping the egg in her pan around before looking back at the girl with a smile, "So, Yami, how do you like egg and rice? Is that all right or would you rather have something else?"

Yami stayed still before taking a seat at the table prepared in front of her. She sat down and had her hands in her lap patiently, "I am not quite sure. I have never had egg and rice for breakfast before. I usually stick to an instant vitamin supplement for energy once waking up and corresponding meals as the day goes on."

"Oh...um...okay." Kushina responded before an idea popped into her head and she smiled. She turned around, fixing something together and walked over to put a bowl of rice in front of her, with an egg on top and little vegetables and sauces on the side to compliment. Kushina clapped her hands, "Well why don't you try that baby out and see how you like it."

Yami looked down at the meal supplied for her and curiously stared at it. She looked at the chopsticks sitting beside it the bowl and gently picked them up before seeming confused how this little stick would pick up the food so easily. She looked up at Kushina for clarity and the redhead held out her hand, silently asking for the chopsticks. Yami passed them to her before Kushina snapped them apart, held them between her fingers to show how to hold them properly, before giving them back to the young assassin.

Yami gave it a few practice tries before taking a bit of the egged rice and tasting it. She chewed and waited a moment before plainly stating, "It is quite good." She tried another little mouthful before looking up at the redhead woman, "Although if I may say, it does not taste as good as the food I had yesterday when I first arrived."

"Really?" Kushina seemed interested in what Yami was talking about, "What was it?"

"I do not know. I have never had something like that before." The cute little killer continued eating her breakfast, "It was tasty and filled with a jam of some kind and it looked like a fish. Naruto Uzumaki gave it to me when I first tried to kill him yesterday."

"..."

Kushina sighed and palmed her face as she ran that sentence through her head again. She only hoped that her son didn't feed the girl that was trying to kill him after he learned she was trying to kill him. Kushina nodded, "That would be taiyaki. I can try getting you some more later if you want. But can I just ask to make sure...you aren't gonna kill Naruto when he's asleep or anything, right?"

Yami looked up at the older woman, "Naruto Uzumaki asked me the exact same thing."

"I figured."

"I will not kill him. Not yet. But I do not give up my targets so easily." She continued eating the meal prepared for her, "I have chosen to take this time to observe and analyze him. To decide if he is a person I should continue to keep in my sights or not."

"Well, if I can give my vote as his mother...I think you'll see he's not as bad as you think."

"He saw my naked breasts yesterday."

"Yes but I did too when you ran out of the bathroom yesterday. And I wouldn't call having a towel covering you as naked."

"I mean before that."

"..." Kushina looked at the young girl, "Come again?"

"We were doused in a strange mucus that seemed to dissolve clothing. Although he did try and protect me from it, it still splashed over us and melted our clothes. His eyes..." Yami seemed to narrow her eyes a single millimeter more, "Lingered."

"O-oh. Okay." A vein started pulsating on Kushina's head as she grit her teeth, "I'll...have a discussion about that when he wakes up." She then blinked and looked around, "By the way, where's Lala? Didn't she wake up with you?"

"I have been awake for hours. I have been standing on the top of the house and communicating with my ship's onboard AI for an estimation of when my ship would be suitable for repairs." Yami looked up at Kushina, "However when I awoke Princess Lala was not in her bed."

"Then where-"

"GOD DAMMIT, LALA! STOP SNEAKING INTO MY BED! AND AT LEAST WEAR SOMETHING!"

"Muaaaa~. Morning Naruto. Did you sleep good?"

"Don't ignore what I said!"

"But I already told you I don't like wearing clothes when I go to bed. They're uncomfortable."

"Well in the interest of keeping me sane I would appreciate if you did!"

"But don't you feel the best when you wake up in the morning and feel the fresh air go over you? Hehe, it tickles."

"U-u-uhhh...w-well if you want to keep staying like that then-"

"Naruto~. Lala~. Breakfast time~." Kushina said with a hidden amount of a threatening tone beneath her voice as she could somehow know her son was staring at the pink-haired hottie that always snuck into his bed. Yami watched as the older woman cracked her knuckles, "It's almost time for school~. You don't want me to come up there and get you, right~?"

"N-no Mom! We're good!"

A moment later they heard a door open and footsteps quickly descend the stairs as Naruto ran down in his uniform and quickly sat at the table, not wanting to anger his recently returned mother. She casually asked, "How'd you sleep~?"

"G-good, Mom." Naruto quickly responded, "A little warm but...I-I'm working on that."

"I bet." Kushina joked before looking to the last empty seat, "So does Lala eat breakfast in the morning or does she not usually enjoy early eating?"

"No, she does. She really likes breakfast." Naruto said as he picked up his own bowl and started to fill it, "She's just putting on her Peke and she'll be right down." He sat down before looking over at the other blonde, "By the way, what about you? Do you still have to use that Peke clip for clothing because if you do...don't bump into anything. It does not stay on very tight."

"That will not be necessary." Yami responded as she finished her bowl, "I took the time to use my Trans ability to take some suitable fabrics and weave my clothes back together." Her hair raised up and changed into large woven hands that stretched out for extra affect, "It was quite simple actually."

"OH MY GOD!" Kushina freaked out and nearly tripped at the sight of the massive hands created from hair, "WHERE THE HELL DID THOSE COME FROM?!"

"Mom! Mom!" Naruto jumped out of his seat and tried to calm his mother down, "It's okay! Gold-I mean Yami has these things called nanomachines in her body. She can transform any part of her body into anything she can imagine."

Kushina blinked in surprise, looking between her son and the girl who stoically looked at them while her hair gently grabbed the plate and bowl. The redhead blinked silently a few more times before turning to Naruto, "So...s-she can make hands from her hair?"

"Just be glad she isn't making knives and weapons with them anymore."

"She can do what?!"

"Morning!" Lala happily cheered as she jumped down the stairs and waved at everyone, "Hey Naruto! Hey Yami-chan! Hey Ms. Mama!"

Yami gave a small nod, "Good morning Princess."

Naruto looked back, "Hey Lala."

Kushina still seemed freaked out, "Knives from the hair?!"

Peke greeted everyone, "Good morning everyone."

"Morning Peke." Naruto said before turning to his fiancée and looking up at the robotic clip, "Weren't you going to keep a closer eye on Lala at night from now on?"

Peke spoke with regret, "I apologize Naruto-dono, but I do need sufficient time to recharge my energy at night. And it's during that time that Lala-same sneaks away. If I tried to stay functioning during that time I would turn off and need someone to plug me back in. And I do not wish to experience that humiliation."

"Oh." Naruto said when he realized that Peke wasn't a perfect machine that could be pushed to do everything. He shrugged his shoulders, "Well I guess that would be too much to ask. Sorry."

"My apologizes as well."

"Hey, Peke doesn't have to watch over me!" Lala stated as she looked at the whiskered blond, "I can watch out for myself!"

"I know you can. But someone needs to watch out for everything else you leave behind." Naruto stated while looking at the bubbly girl sternly, "You have absolutely no awareness of your surroundings. A freakin' fire could be happening behind you and you wouldn't notice!"

"When was there a fire?"

Naruto blinked before shaking his head, "Nevermind."

"Huh?" Naruto looked back at his mom as she titled her head to the side, "I thought you had just been goofing around and playing while I was gone. It's weird to see you've actually become...somewhat responsible."

Naruto patted Lala's head as the girl happily accepted the contact, "She's a sweet girl but she's very high-maintenance. Sorta like a kid. Was this what it was like taking care of me?"

"Nope. You were much more difficult to handle." Kushina then looked at the outfit Lala was sporting and noticed a familiar theme to it. She gave a little smile, "Awww~, you guys go to school together?"

"Her idea." Naruto pointed out.

Lala beamed a big smile, "Naruto kept talking about a cool place where he goes to meet all his friends all day and hang out with them! It sounded like so much fun that I had to join in!"

Kushina blinked before giving Naruto a skeptical look as he shook his head, "Pretty sure she misinterpreted what I said."

Kushina giggled, "Well, this can make things easier for the day. I was worried about how you were handling this but if you and Lala are at school while I'm finishing up work then that's easier."

"Um...what about..."

They all looked to the short blonde girl who was examining the kitchen knife Kushina used to cut the vegetables. Yami noticed she had their attention and placed the appliance back down, "I am still awaiting the arrival of the representative we met yesterday from CHRONOS to register for temporary asylum here."

"So we have school, you have work, and you...get to deal with those guys. Fantastic." Naruto walked back over to the door and grabbed his bag, "Well I'll see you later Mom!"

Lala followed after and waved the two females goodbye, "See ya Ms. Mama! Bye Yami-chan!"

The two teens left the house, leaving Kushina and Yami alone in the dining room. Kushina looked down at the younger girl, "Well I can stick around a little longer before I have to leave for work. You don't mind watching TV or reading a book while you wait for this representative to come, right?"

Yami seemed confused by a strange word she said, "What is this TV?"

"Oh Christ."

########King########

*Ding*Ding*

Naruto sat back in his chair and sighed with relief as the tone rang and the period came to an end. Naruto yawned and sat back in his chair as Rito turned around and faced him, "You seem tired."

"Yeah, just sorta been dreading what could have happened last night and this morning."

Rito turned around in his seat to face his best friend, "How did Auntie Kushina handle everything? It's gotta be a lot for her to handle in just one night. Lala is definitely the kind of girl that would take some time to adjust to."

"Well Mom's been acting pretty nice to her so far. But it's mostly been in passing. They haven't had a moment to talk one-on-one." Naruto leaned against his hand and tiredly stated, "I'm worried about what would happen if they did."

"Why?"

"It's difficult to explain."

Rito questioned, "Is it as difficult as explaining why you're letting your assassin sleep in your house?"

"..."

"..."

"Lala pouted and said please."

"Really?"

"Hey, it's not that easy. I bet if she lived at your house and she asked you for something, you'd crumble in an instant."

Rito replied, "Well she doesn't live in my house. So I wouldn't know."

"Yeah, I guess you wouldn't." Naruto resigned until a coy smile came over his face and he chuckled, "Unless you could imagine what it would be like to live with Haruna-chan."

Rito's face turned red for a moment before he shook his head, "W-why would you bring up Sairenji?! She has nothing to do with this conversation!"

"She does now. Now that I've brought her up."

"I-I..." Rito grumbled and leaned in closer to Naruto with a stern stare, "Look...we don't have to bring up Sairenji-"

"What about me?"

"Iyaaaaa!" Rito screamed in fright when he heard the soft voice approach from behind him. He quickly turned around to see Haruna, Risa, Mio, and Lala all coming up as a group to greet them. Rito nearly panicked, "S-S-Sairenji?!"

"S-sorry Yuuki-kun, I didn't mean to startle you. I thought you knew I was coming." She pointed behind him, "Uzumaki-kun saw us coming and I thought he told you."

Rito finally realized why his crush was brought up in the conversation and looked back at his best friend. He glared, "You suck."

"Hehe." He waved at the girls, "Hey Haruna-chan, Lala, how you guys doing?"

Lala answered, "We're great! Did you guys like the lecture?"

"Uhhhh...not really."

"Excuse me." Risa and Mio both seemed peeved that they were skipped over in the greeting. The bespectacled member of the duo placed her hands on her hips, "Why did you just skip over us? Don't we get a hi anymore?"

Naruto retorted, "Sorry, I thought you guys were just incessant shadows that stuck behind these two to torment them. You know, as your want and needs continue to do."

"Very funny. But jokes on you Uzumaki." Risa walked past Lala and Haruna and gave a creepy grin towards him, "We're here to torment you for the foreseeable future."

Naruto's smile turned into a straight line, "What."

"Well how couldn't we?" Mio popped up behind Lala and started rubbing her belly in a sensual way, giving Naruto and Rito a full view of something they shouldn't be seeing as the princess giggled at the act, "Finding out the sexy out-of-this-world transfer girl was actually out of this world is a goldmine of fun to be had!"

"Pfffft-hehehahaha-s-stop Mio! T-that tickles-hahaha!"

"But we've known you longer! And you've been hiding it longer too!" Risa said as she got up in the whiskered boy's face and grinned, "And we gotta know everything!"

Naruto blinked silently before pushing Risa's face away and shaking his head, "Sorry, but what if I don't feel like saying anything just to piss you off?"

"Okay, that fine." Risa said as she stood back up and shrugged, "But just so you know, we were just the flag-bearers. Now comes the main force."

Naruto and Rito shared a look before the blond raised an eyebrow, "What main force-"

"Uzumaki-kun!"

"Oh god."

They looked back to see Yui standing in their doorway with a stern look on her face and in her voice. She quickly made her way across the room and stood by his desk looking down at him with all the force of a scrutinizing moral's officer. She pointed at him, "You have a lot of explaining to do!"

Naruto sweated a little, "W-what explaining?"

"Everything!" She argued back, "We were kidnapped, held hostage by a group of strange creatures, you and several other people came charging in, and you reveal you have tails and cute little ears! And that's it! That's all you explained!"

"You think my ears are-"

"Do. Not. Change. The subject."

"Okay! Okay!" Naruto tried to defend himself, "Well what do you want to know?"

"I just said everything! We've been patiently waiting to the side for answers but you kept pushing them aside and ignore it! We demand to know why?"

"Because this is the only goofy story he writes and the boss wants to handle the more serious stuff!"

...

...

...

They all seemed befuddled by that answer, "Huh?"

"I-I mean I've been busy. S-sorry. I think someone had to say it." Naruto said while looking to the side and rubbing the migraine from his head, "Look, how about we all just find a place to eat and talk about this."

The others looked between each other before nodding and deciding to talk about this in private. Naruto nodded, "Sweet. Let's go." He got out of his seat and headed towards the door before someone came running up to it.

Saruyama appeared at the door and seemed relieved to see his group of friends. He sighed in relief, "Oh good, you guys didn't go yet. Awesome. I gotta tell you something."

Naruto's shoulders slumped, "Saru, we're about to go explain all the alien crap that happened the other day. You can come with us if you want."

Saruyama seemed conflicted, "Uhhh, you might want to hold on a sec. Some upperclassmen asked me to show them where our home room was."

"No!" Naruto yelled and shook his head in denial, "No! No! No! I don't care who wants to come and bitch at me today! I am not dealing with any jackass that wants to prove he's tough!"

"Well that's great." Saruyama said happily, "Because they're here for Lala-chan."

...

Everyone turned around and stared at the pink-haired girl who just tilted her head in confusion. They turned back around to the messenger while Haruna asked, "Who are they? And what do they want with Lala-San?"

*DUN*DUN*DUN*DUUUUNNNNNN*

Suddenly it sounded like trumpets and trombones were echoing through the halls with a mighty shake. Everyone in the room was startled before they ran up to the door to see the trumpets and horns that filled the hallway...

Only to see a tall girl with her long brown hair in a ponytail, standing to the side with an iPhone playing the triumphant instrumental music. Standing opposite her was a much shorter girl wearing glasses and holding a wireless speaker.

They both stepped aside as a beautiful girl stepped between them and presented herself to everyone in the hallway. The girl that had garnered all of their attention was a regal beauty with her light golden hair in spiral fashions over her shoulders. She stood proudly, with the back of her hand placed on one hip before she opened up her golden eyes and laughed haughtily, "Ohohohohohoho! Greetings everyone, your queen, Saki Tenjouin, has come to issue a challenge!"

The heiress spotted the pink-haired girl amongst the crowd and called her out, "Lala Deviluke! I, Saki Tenjouin, challenge you to determine who is the most worthy to be the most popular, refined, and gorgeous woman in this school! Do you accept?"

"Challenge means game right?" Lala then beamed a big smile and nodded, "Sure! I'll play!"

"Then let us go settle this outside!" Saki and her escorts started heading back down the hall as Lala happily followed after them.

"She said yes!" Saruyama popped out of the crowd and yelled to the audience, "It's OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

"YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The entire first-year crowd started cheering as they followed Saki and Lala outside. The only people left were Naruto, Rito, Yui, and Haruna as they just stared silently forward. The whiskered blond looked around for a moment before fully taking in that there was no one here.

"What the hell just happened?"

########Prince########

Kurenai Yûhi leaned against the wall outside of Asuma's branch of CHRONOS as she sighed tiredly. When Asuma called and said he probably needed help with this new transfer, he didn't say who it was they were helping. So she never in a million years would have expected to walk in and see that person sitting on the couch.

The door opened and the tall man with stubble around his chin looked at his fellow agent, "Hey, are you coming in here or what?"

Kurenai sent him a little glare before grabbing his collar and pulling him outside with her. The pretty woman glared her friend down with piercing red eyes and made sure the door was shut again before speaking, "What's going on here?"

Asuma didn't respond before just pointing back to the door, "I told you I was going to show you why I couldn't make it to the meeting yesterday."

"Yes, but I didn't think your reason would be because someone like that was here." She nearly grumbled out to him, "You didn't think that this might be something to report to the higher ups?"

"Do you have any idea how much paper work I'd be dealing with if I did that?" Asuma retorted, "It's a pain in the ass just thinking about it."

"Sounds like you're taking up Shikamaru's mindset on work."

"Don't even joke about that."

Kurenai rolled her eyes and shook her head before asking, "Asuma...why did you call me here?"

Asuma scratched the back of his head before looking back to the door, "I needed someone's help to make sure this didn't go belly-up." Asuma and Kurenai shared a look before slowly opening the door and walking in to see their client for the day.

Yami looked up from the papers on the table to stare at the two agents of CHRONOS that picked her up from the Uzumaki Residence. She asked with a monotone, "Are you two ready to proceed?"

"Yeah, sorry bout that." Asuma said as he and Kurenai sat on the scratchy couch across from her, "Needed to discuss something with my colleague real quick. Now-"

"What was it?"

"Huh?"

"What was it you two were discussing outside?" Yami responded stoically while staring the duo down, getting them to share a quick look between each other before awkwardly looking back to the imposing young girl.

Kurenai looked back to the young assassin, "Well we were just talking about...um...we-"

"We were talking about you." Yami just blinked as Kurenai turned and glared at her partner's blunt confession. He shrugged, "What? Like it wasn't super obvious."

Kurenai grumbled and rubbed the bridge of her nose. She shook her head before giving a genuinely apologetic look to the girl, "Sorry, no offense, but you can understand why we might be a little anxious with this situation, right? We usually deal with immigrants and refugees who are a little jumpy but...relatively harmless. We haven't had many clients who are so collected and...not...harmless...at all."

Yami nodded, "I understand. Most people that stay in the same room as me become quite unnerved very quickly. Usually because they are terrified in believing that they may be my next target or not-"

"Okay, we're moving on from this topic." Asuma finally said as he turned the paperwork towards himself, "Name...Golden Darkness? Do you have anything else you prefer to go by?"

"Yami seems to be the best shorthand."

Kurenai raised an eyebrow, "Yami? That's...a surprisingly simple nickname. Did you decide it yourself or-"

Asuma interrupted, "Princess Lala Deviluke gave her that name after Golden Darkness tried to assassinate her fiancé. And then proceeded to invite her to stay with them for the foreseeable future until the spare parts come for her ship."

"..."

Kurenai leaned back in her seat, "And to think I felt envious of you being in the area with more assignments."

"Now don't you feel silly?" Asuma went back to filling up the paper before looking to the girl and pointing at his own neck, "Do you have a chip?"

She gave a small nod.

"Good. Then we don't need to worry about messing up any translation problems in the future." Asuma checked that off before looking up at the girl, "You do understand that while you are here on Earth that we must ask that you refrain from causing too much harm or damage to the local populace. Can you promise that?"

Yami was silent as she did not know how to answer that. She would not go out of her way to hurt someone, but she would not stand by if someone were to try and harm either her or someone she believed was innocent. But these were government officials, even if they did act rather lax and calm with the situation. She just blinked and remained silent for a moment...

"I can personally attest to the fact that she can be quite docile when she isn't on active duty."

The three aliens looked towards the door to see the busty alien nurse stranding in the doorway wearing her civilian clothes. The two CHRONOS agents nodded to her, "Thanks for coming Ryoko."

"Wait, personally attest?" Kurenai looked back to the blonde assassin before looking back at their associate, "Mikado-San, you know Golden Darkness?"

"Yes. She and I have met quite a lot actually." Ryoko said as she came walking over and stood behind the couch the adults were using, "In fact she used to come to me to treat her injuries and illnesses before I came to Earth."

Yami looked to the familiar woman, "Doctor Mikado. I did not know when you said you were going to take up residence on a different planet, you meant Earth."

"I just followed where the wind took me. And the wind showed me to my new companions here." Ryoko looked down at the file they were compiling and she pointed, "She's about 14-years old, by the way."

"Oh." Asuma quickly wrote that down, "Thank you."

Kurenai looked over her shoulder at the other woman, "And you're certain that she will not harm anyone?"

"Not unless she believes they deserve it. And believe me, she doesn't need to hurt them. She can easily just scare them off with a scary stare or something." She looked down at the file again, "You can trust...Yami-chan..." She looked up and smiled at the girl, "That's such a cute name."

"Princess Lala picked it out for me."

"I'm not surprised. That girl brings a lot of energy to the classroom." Ryoko stated offhandedly.

"Is she energetic?"

"Like a walking ball of sugar."

"Oh." Kurenai hummed before looking at her partner, "Don't Shikamaru and the others go to the same school as her?"

Asuma nodded, "Yep."

"And you can trust that they can control and temper any rowdy behavior or actions that might occur during that time?"

"..."

"..."

Asuma and Ryoko shared a look...before looking back to the paperwork.

"You both hesitated there for a bit...what is it?"

########King########

("Are you ready...to determine...the rightful Queen of Sainan High?!")

"YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

The sea of students roared in delight as they crowded around the makeshift stage that had been prepared for the spectacle. More than half of the crowd was cheering for the challenger and backer of this spectacle, Saki Tenjouin. The other chunk was cheering for the newcomer and spunky cute girl, Lala Deviluke. Saki laughed and waved to her adoring audience as Lala seemed giddy at all the attention and fun.

Four first-years just stood at the front of the crowd and looked around at how things blew out of proportion so quickly.

Rito noted, "Wow...these guys got here quick."

Haruna tired to remain calm, "It looks like everyone really wants to cheer Lala-San on. T-that's good."

"How? How did this happen?!" Yui seemed to be the only one remaining sane in the situation and looked around in disbelief, "It was lunch time a minute ago! How did all these people get here so fast?! And don't they have anything better to do?!"

"We're teenagers in high school. We want to do anything other than school." Risa noted as she popped back up with Mio right beside her, "Hey! Hey! Who are you guys gonna be cheering for?"

Rito shrugged, "Lala probably."

Haruna nodded, "Me too. I'll cheer for Lala-San."

"Cool!" Mio looked over at Yui, "What about you Kotegawa-San?"

Yui huffed and crossed her arms beneath her substantial chest, "I'm not cheering for anyone to win this silly dispute. I won't condone it."

"Well aren't you a party-pooper." Risa groaned before looking over at the blond, "What about you Uzumaki?"

"This is gonna go very badly." They all looked to Naruto as his face twisted into a look of terror and worry. He palmed his face and his eyes constricted in fear behind them, "Don't know how...don't know when...but this is gonna end so badly."

...

Risa started humming a tune, "~Oh, Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you-"

"Take it seriously, dammit!" Naruto snapped and started sweating, "I've been living with her for over a month and I know how these things can turn out! You guys don't know how Lala's inventions work!"

"How do Lalachi's inventions work?"

"They don't!" Naruto nearly cried out, "They malfunction and break down all the time! Wanted to make an extra dimensional space for plates, she nearly created a black hole! She created something to pick up our clothes and it took all our clothes, even the ones we were wearing! One of them even turned me into a towel!"

...

"Turned you...into a towel?"

"For a whole hour! I don't even know what purpose it would have but it happened!"

...

"What did you do while you were a towel?"

...

Naruto turned away from them, hiding the burning blush that came over his face when remembering what happened when the only other person in the house used him to dry off. He whispered, "I...don't wanna talk about it."

"Uzumaki-"

"Anyway!" Naruto turned back to look at the stage, "Knowing Lala, she's probably gonna try and impress people with an invention. But it could pretty much lead to collateral damage for everyone here."

"How was it I knew it would come to that?"

Naruto and the others blinked in surprise before turning to look at the voice from the blond's other side. Standing beside him after sneaking over was Shikamaru with the same bored expression and hands in his pockets as before. Standing beside him were his larger friend still munching on some chips, and the pretty blonde girl that looked at the stage with some annoyance. The pineapple-haired boy looked over at the whiskered blonde and nodded, "Hey Naruto."

He nodded back, "Sup Shikamaru."

"Hey!" Yui was the first to react and pointed at the new trio that showed up out of nowhere, "You're the people that helped rescue us from those aliens last week!"

"Oh yeah, I didn't introduce you guys yet." Naruto lazily stated before pointing at them, "Lazy guy is Shikamaru. Big guy is Chōji. And the girl glaring over at the end is Ino."

Rito leaned forward, "You guys go to our school?"

"Yeah. Apparently if we want to continue working on this planet then we need a thorough education in its culture and history." Shikamaru said as he rubbed the back of his head, "It's troublesome."

"I bet."

Shikamaru then looked back up at the stage, "So you said that Princess Lala might do something that could cause a problem. Are you sure about that?"

"Not like it's written in stone. Just..." Naruto seemed so tired after a moment, "I've sorta spotted a pattern."

("Are you ready for the first event?!")

The crowd roared and looked up as somehow Saruyama had asserted himself as the announcer, mic and all. He did his job and played over-the-top, ("So~, let's get on to the first round of the deciding match! First Round...Swimsuit and Cosplay Extravaganza! Let's determine who can show off what they got best!")

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Ino raised an eyebrow, "How does cosplaying help determine the queen of school?"

Chōji stopped eating and shrugged, "Maybe it's about who can get the most love from the audience?"

"And they can't do that in any other way?"

"I bet Saru had a hand in determining what the events were."

"Okay well that makes sense."

Everyone then turned towards the figure on the right that climbed the stairs with a sheet covering everything but their lower face. She smiled, "I hope you're ready..."

She pulled the sheet off and showed that Saki was now dressed in a frilly dress that looked like it belonged to a queen. She had a few rings, a crown, and high heels on, with her two entourages standing beside her throwing rose petals in the air. She laughed and announced to the adoring crowd, "Ohohohohohoho! Yes! What better outfit to suit a queen than this! Ohohohohohoho!"

("Saki-sama shows off a stunning dress fit for royalty! And the crowd loves it! How will Contestant Lala handle this?")

Lala titled her head in confusion before asking her robot assistant, "Hey Peke, what's going on? What should I be doing for this game?"

"Lala-sama, I believe this is a pageant."

"A pageant?"

"A spectacle to show off the beauty and talents of participants to see who is most likely to win."

"Oh! It's a dress up thing? We can do that! Peke, try that princess outfit we saw in the magazine the other day!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Lala glowed brightly as the entire audience went silent in an instant. The light immediately disappeared and Lala was wearing a risqué, barely there frilly outfit that covered her chest and hips with a tiny skirt barely to the thighs. Her tail was swinging back happily and she had a tiny tiara on her head before she winked at the crowd, "Hiya! Princess Lala here to say hi!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"

Saruyama's jaw nearly dropped, ("HOLY SHIT! LALA-CHAN IS SHOWING OFF ALL GOD GAVE HER WITHOUT A SINGLE BIT OF SHAME! AND THE CROWD LOVES IT!")

"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"

The rational members at the front of the crowd just stared at the stage in shock. Haruna covered her mouth with a pink hue at the revealing outfit, "Oh my..."

Naruto palmed his face, "Knew it."

"Lala-San!" Yui freaked out and blushed a little at the embarrassing sight, "Cover yourself! This is just shameless!"

Lala waved, "Hey Yui! This game is fun!"

"This is not a game!"

Saki grit her teeth and shook with anger before she threw her arms down, "Fine! I'll show you!" Saki quickly jumped behind the stage and her queen outfit went sailing through the air before she popped back out wearing a black cat outfit with cute little ears. She winked towards the audience, "Meow~, don't you wanna take me home~?"

("OOOOHHHHHH! Saki-sama is now catching our attention with the sexy black cat outfit! A few years of bad luck seem worth it now, don't they? Let's see how Lala-chan will respond!")

"Woof! Woof!" Without anyone noticing, Lala had changed into a puppy outfit with droopy ears and a fluffy tail. She barked happily to the audience once more and they cheered as she waved both her fake dog tail and real black tail around cheerfully, "Look! I'm a puppy! Yay!"

("WOAH! And Lala-chan dresses up like man's best friend! You just wanna snatch her up and take her home with ya, am I right?!")

"You're right!"

"Lala-chan! I love you!"

"Come home with me!"

"Dump that loser boyfriend if yours!"

"Lose the zero! Get with a hero!"

"He doesn't deserve you!"

"Hey!" Naruto looked back at the crowd with anger, "Go fuck yourself, whoever just said that! No, you know what-you can all go fuck yourselves!"

Saki was startled at the alarming rate that everyone was cheering for this newcomer. There was no way she was going to lose to someone like that! She was Saki Tenjouin! She was the Queen of Sainan, no substitutes allowed! The bespectacled girl, Aya Fujisaki, looked over at her friend and worried for her, "Saki-sama, maybe it would be best if-"

"No! I will not accept defeat!" Saki declared, causing Lala to stop pandering to the crowd and having everyone look to the blonde beauty. Saki was shaking with annoyance before placing a hand against her chest, ignoring the fact she was still wearing the kitty outfit and speaking with pride, "Lala Deviluke, you have the power to rally the masses to you, I will not deny that. And I'm sorry that I underestimated you when we started. But...I will not waver even now! Whatever it takes! Whatever I must do! I will withstand anything to remain the queen I know I can be!"

Everyone in the crowd was silent at the determined declaration of the young lady in the kitty outfit. They didn't know why she felt so strongly about this but it was obvious that she was not going to just give up.

Lala seemed touched by Saki's spirit and nodded happily, "Okay! You're right! I don't know what you're talking about but it's cool that you wanna work so hard Senpai!" Lala pulled out her phone and clicked a button as a funny looking gun with a few spiral designs on the side came out. She grabbed it from out of the air and smiled, "I'll help you win this game Senpai, so hang on!"

Saki seemed to come down from her moment and looked at the gun strangely, "What is that supposed to-IYYYAAAAA!"

Lala shot the gun and a bright pink beam flew through the air and covered Saki entirely. Everyone was silent as the light finally died away and Lala held the gun up proudly, "My new invention, based off of Peke's awesome functions! Can change any set of clothes you're wearing into any outfit or design you imagine! With the help of Quick Change Cloth-kun, you're sexier than ever!"

Saki blinked in shock. She blinked again. She felt a weird breeze. And looked down at herself.

She wasn't wearing clothes anymore. No. It would be more appropriate to say that she was covered. At the moment she had lines of whip cream running in intricate designs around her breasts and over her nipples, down her stomach in an alluring fashion, and around her pelvis to cover her clutch and bum. It was like something you'd see in a porno with the newlywed covering herself in cream to entice her new husband. With a little red ribbon around her neck and cat ears on the top of her head, Saki stood there in utter silence.

As did the whole crowd as they were so shocked that no one even thought to take a picture.

A small line of blood ran down from Saruyama's nose as he finally spoke, ("Oh. My. God.")

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Saki screamed at the top of her lungs as she dropped to her knees and tried to cover her breasts as the crowd cheered and camera phones started to flash. She yelled, "What is going on here?!"

"Saki-sama, you can't sit like that!"

Saki looked up at Aya and yelled, "If I don't then everyone is going to see me completely naked!"

"N-no I mean your breasts are covered by cream." Aya blushed in embarrassment, "C-covering them with your arms is smothering the cream and...losing coverage."

Saki looked down and saw in her reflex to cover herself, she got cream over her arm and almost exposed her nipples. She yelled, "I need my tracksuit! Quickly!"

Her other attendant, Rin, nodded in agreement, "Yes ma'am!"

Lala innocently looked at the whole crowd scream and cheer for Saki and brimmed with happiness. She cheered, "Total success!"

"THAT'S A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE!"

Lala continued to brim with joy before she heard a discharge of static emanate from the gun. She looked down at it and saw smoke and electricity come off it sporadically. She blinked in surprise, "Uh oh."

The gun malfunctioned and released pink lightning across the stage. The lightning struck Aya and Saruyama, blocking them from sight for a moment before it finally disappeared. Aya was now dressed in a revealing miko priestess outfit while Saruyama looked akin to the announcer from Dragonball. Aya covered herself meekly while Saru appreciated his new threads, "This is appropriate."

The gun continued to short circuit in Lala's hands before she just gave a nervous smile, "Oops."

*BZZZZZZT*

Pink lightning shot out from the stage and covered everyone in the crowd. The lightning disappeared to reveal everyone was wearing strange new outfits, some inappropriate while others were just wearing strange costumes.

Risa as wearing a bright orange outfit with a large pumpkin head. Mio was wearing a skintight black leather outfit. Haruna was now in a full-body kitty outfit that caused a blush to run up to her face. Ino looked down to see she was now wearing a flashy red performer dress with sparkles and a slit going all the way up to her thigh. Yui shook in horror at the micro swimsuit she was now sporting and blushed in shame, "H-h-h-h-h..."

"HOW SHAMLESS!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

The entire crowd freaked out with the new outfits and clothes they were wearing. The once bustling field of people was now reduced to just four boys standing side by side.

Rito in a speedo. Naruto in a sumo outfit. Shikamaru in a raunchy fireman coat. And Chōji as a luchador.

Shikamaru looked down at the coat he was now wearing before asking, "So...these inventions...they fail-"

"All the time."

"Okay. Just wondering."

########Prince########

Kushina was working away and setting up the dinner table for a large feast with the whole house with Rito and Mikan as well. She was leaving tomorrow morning so there was no way she was going to let the last meal she ate at home be pizza or ramen. She looked over at her little helper and smiled, "So how does it feel to live on Earth legally now?"

Yami placed the plates down and kept her emotionless face, "It was a lot of paperwork and questioning. But it was satisfactory to make sure I may reside on this planet without concern."

Kushina stared at the girl for a moment before sighing, "Honey, when I come back here, we have got to work on a little thing called excitement and joyful experience."

"Unlikely. But you are welcome to try."

"We're home!" Lala cheered as she ran inside her home and greeted the two other ladies in her normal uniform, "Hey Ms. Mama! Hey Yami-chan! Oh, is dinner ready? I'm so hungry!"

"It'll be ready in a moment. But we won't eat until Rito and Mikan come over so just sit down and be patient." Lala agreed and sat in her seat while joyfully humming a tune. Kushina looked around, "Where's Naruto?"

The door opened and closed again as Naruto walked into sight, a deep frown on his face and still wearing the strange sumo outfit he got during lunch. He looked over and saw Kushina and Yami stare at him silently...

...

Kushina stifled a laugh, "Do you need some salt to throw around before you eat your meal?"

Naruto dropped his bag and headed upstairs, "I'm getting dressed."

Kushina laughed a little before she placed the last plate down and sat in her seat across from Lala. Yami finished her preparation before heading over to the bathroom to wash her hands. With the two blondes preoccupied with other matters, it was just Kushina and Lala sitting at the table.

...

"Lala?"

The alien girl looked up from the food around the table and saw Kushina looking at her with focus. The redhead asked intently, "I've been waiting to talk with you all day. Do you mind if I ask you a few things?"

"What might you be asking, Kushina-dono?"

"Some personal questions."

Lala happily nodded, "No problem! You can ask me anything!"

Kushina nodded and proceeded to ask, "Why did you come to Earth in the first place?"

"Oh, that's easy!" Lala immediately answered, "My Papa started telling people around the galaxy that if they can get me to marry them, then they can be the next ruler of the Deviluke Empire. So a bunch of people started crowding me, chasing me, asking me to marry them, and it got really annoying!" Lala stated with a pout before she proudly admitted, "So I came up with the perfect plan! To run away!"

Kushina nodded, "Mmm-hmmm."

"So I finally came to Earth. But I was being chased by some of Papa's guards. I ran and ran but they kept chasing me, so I teleported away from them and to the closest energy source. Which was Naruto!" Lala smiled, "I popped out of his bath while his was bathing and I was safe, but I was naked so I couldn't run away just yet."

Kushina seemed to scowl a little. Not appreciating that this gorgeous girl was in the bath with her son naked and all alone worried a mother.

"We escaped from the guards and I was going to run away again, but then I had a great idea! Say someone is my fiancé and get everybody to stop chasing me! And I thought Naruto was nice, so I said he was my fiancé and that no one needed to come after me anymore."

Kushina's hair started to bristle and she started releasing a menacing aura. Peke panicked, "L-Lala-sama-"

"Not now Peke. Ms. Mama asked me a question." Lala was oblivious to the evil glare she was getting from Kushina and continued, "So I wanted to use Naruto for a little bit longer and thought everything was gonna work out. But then the head of our guard, Zastin, tried to test Naruto out as my new fiancé and attacked him. Naruto nearly got killed until he let his ears and tails out but even then it was close! They finally stopped fighting after a while and Naruto yelled at us!"

Kushina was brimming with anger, she felt like yelling at this girl for using her son like that-

"And then Naruto said something. He told Zastin that this wasn't fair. What Papa was doing to me by holding me up like some kind of prize was unfair to me. And that I should be free to choose who I spend my life with."

Kushina's anger immediately faded when she saw Lala take on a dreamy and joyful look on her face. She smiled, not towards her but just being happy remembering the thought, "That was the first time anyone had ever thought about how I felt. Naruto was the first person who said I should live my life how I want to, not by anyone else. And I was so happy I nearly cried and I hugged him...because at that moment I think I fell in love with him."

...

Lala looked up fondly while smiling, "Since then we've played games. Watched movies. Eaten food and hung out. He's taken me out shopping. I cooked him a bento once but he didn't seem to like it. But that's okay. Because every moment since that day has just been some of the best time of my life. I'm so happy I got to meet Naruto." Lala looked at Kushina innocently, "He's the best guy in the universe."

Kushina started at the bubbly girl and could feel no deceit or lies in her words. She meant it. Every word.

...

"You...really love him?"

"Yep." Lala nodded, "I love Naruto."

...

...

Lala tilted her head, "Ms. Mama, are you okay?"

Kushina realized she had been super tiny there in silence without responding to the girl for a full minute. She fixed herself up and smiled at Lala before giggling, "Just happy...happy my son got a girl like you to fall in love with him."

Lala grinned, "Yep!"

"Okay, I'm back." Naruto moaned as he came back down the stairs, wearing more comfortable clothes for his home. He looked between Lala and his mother to see them both smiling for no reason. He grew suspicious, "You're smiling. What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Seriously, what happened? Did you guys put pepper in my rice or something?"

"Ms. Mama just wanted to know how we met. I told her I popped out of the bathtub-"

"AH! AH! AH!" Naruto quickly covered Lala's mouth and he started sweating, "M-Mom, I can explain-"

"Hello? Naruto? Auntie Kushina?" Mikan poked her head inside the house before she spotted her blond friend at the table, "Are we too early or-"

"Mikan! Rito!" Kushina happily waved them in, "You're just in time! C'mon, sit down! We're just about to eat!"

Mikan and Rito quickly walked in with the brunette boy now also wearing his comfy clothes. He sat down by the seat his best friend stood behind and asked, "How did your Mom react when she saw what you were wearing?"

Naruto sighed and sat down beside him, "She laughed and made fun of me. You?"

"Same." Rito sadly admitted, "Mikan just stared at me in horror."

"Can you blame me?" Mikan asked earnestly as she sat next to Kushina, "I've never seen anyone aactualky wear a speedo. It was weird." Mikan shook nervously, "Why were you even wearing that?"

Naruto and Rito just pointed at Lala as she happily swayed in her seat.

"Figures."

Yami finally emerged from the bathroom and came back around the corner to see the table was full. She stood there silently before Kushina waved her over, "Yami, come sit beside Mikan. We were waiting for you."

The blonde assassin gave a small nod before moving around the table as everyone started picking from the large assortment of food. The youngest Yuuki sibling looked on quietly as the girl in black silently sat down beside her. Mikan decided to greet the stranger she had met yesterday, "Um...hello."

Yami looked over at her, getting Mikan to flinch from the unnerving stare she received before answering back, "Hello."

Mikan pointed at herself, "Um, we met yesterday. Well we didn't actually meet but you were in our house for a while."

"Yes. I remember you from yesterday."

Mikan nervously swallowed her anxiety, "I-I didn't catch your name yesterday. Naruto called you something and Lala-San called you something else."

Yami took a moment before she turned to the other young girl, "You may call me Yami. It is the easiest name I have been given."

"Oh. Okay." Mikan smiled at the girl and gave a small bow in her seat, "It's nice to meet you Yami-San. My name is Mikan Yuuki. I hope we can get along in the future."

Yami seemed confused by her gesture before she just copied it and bowed slightly, "You as well, Mikan Yuuki. I am in your care."
