"Ahh! My mug! And Darling's too!"
"Wh-What devilry is this?! My sword's all sticky!"
"Today's going to be eventful it seems" Kushina thought aloud with a smile on her face. Despite running the vacuum on the other side of the house Miia and Centoria's shouts were still heard by the single mother loud and clear.
"A pox upon you, slime!" Centoria shouted with blade in hand as Naruto held her and Miia back from the slime girl.
"Okay. Okay. Calm down" Naruto told the two irate liminals. Meanwhile the slime girl was sitting peacefully on the floor behind him with a multitude of objects stuck in her body.
Fortunately for Naruto he received some help quieting the two women down this time, even if it came from an unlikely source. "Sheesh! You don't need to yell like that! Suu doesn't mean anything by it!" Papi shouted at the duo as she stood next to the slime, now dubbed Suu.
"Eh, Suu?" Naruto asked as he looked over his shoulder.
"Yeah! She's a slime, so she's Suu! Papi named her!" Papi told him, proud of herself for giving the girl a name. It's not like the name was ridiculous and did make sense in a way, so no one had any objections or other suggestions.
"Suu?" Suu questioned with a small tilt of her head.
"Wah?! It spoke?!" Miia blurted out as she reeled back in shock.
"Well, she mimicked everything else, why not speech?" Naruto suggested as he rubbed the back of his head. Again, no one had any better suggestion so they just went with that.
"Still, I do not believe she should be allowed to remain in this state of dress..." Centoria remarked since, while she was made up of nothing but slime, she had the appearance of a starch naked girl.
"Can she even wear clothes, with all that goo?" Miia wondered.
Hearing their concern Naruto's mind immediately got to work and one trip to the closet later Suu was garbed in a yellow raincoat with matching boots.
"A raincoat? You're so clever Darling!" Miia said as they watched Suu happily skip around in her new clothes. Though in hindsight having her waltz around in an open raincoat was a bit on the erotic side as well.
"You know, I believe she was bigger yesterday... Why has she dwindled?" Centoria wondered.
"She shrunk after being pulled into the bath. Maybe she got too diluted in the water and lost a lot of her slime?" Naruto suggested.
Sliding up to the blond Miia whispered into his ear, "Well Darling, what are we going to do?".
As the blond tried to figure out what she meant Centoria came up on his other side, "I do not believe she is here in any proper capacity. She either got mixed in with some cargo, or she was smuggled in...".
"She's an illegal alien?" Naruto questioned. It might be a bit hypocritical for him to worry about something like that but it could still cause some issues.
"Should she not be Madam Smith's responsibility?" Centoria asked.
"If we call Smith, then what? We don't know where she came from so it's not like we can send her back to where ever it is she came from" Naruto said.
"That's why she should be put under protective custody... or locked up" Miia said, to which Papi managed to hear as she was playing with Suu on the other side of the room.
"That's just too harsh. It's not like she's done anything bad" Naruto said. Even if he nearly drowned in her Suu didn't intend to hurt him, not to mention that the other girls, present ones included, have injured him by accident as well.
"But harboring her may get you punished Milord..." Centoria told him before the three of them spiraled into a cycle of trying and failing to think of a solution to their problems.
Shortly into this cycle Miia noticed something, off. "Isn't it a little too quiet around here?" Miia questioned, only for a quick glance around to show the window wide open with Papi flying away from the house with Suu in toe. Safe to say Naruto took off after the girl.
Keeping up with Papi was easy enough, however Naruto lacking the ability to fly severely cut into his ability to stop her. Eventually Papi neared the river that ran through the city and having noticed that Papi was flying along said river Suu started to panic and flail about. It didn't take long for Suu to slip out of Papi's grasp in her panic and seeing this Naruto rushed over to catch her. This resulted in him falling flat on his ass with Suu splattered around him.
"You all right, Suu?!" Papi asked as she flew down to the ground. Just before her talons touched the river bank Suu seamlessly pulled herself together and reformed on top of the blond. "Yay~! You're totally fine!" Papi cheered as she ran over to them.
"Yeah, thanks for worrying about me too, Papi" Naruto remarked under his breath as Suu got off of him.
"But what was up with the flapping?" Papi asked the slime as she put Suu's raincoat back on her.
"She's probably worried about the river" Naruto commented as he picked himself off the ground. "She melted in the bathtub, remember? It's possible that she'd die if she goes in that much water" Naruto told the girl as he directed her attention to the river.
"Is that it? Sorry, Suu!" Papi apologized to the girl as she took hold of her hands.
It was a touching moment, but Naruto still had to cut it short and ask "Papi, why did you run off with Suu? You know you can't leave the house without me or mom".
Remembering what she was doing before thanks to the blond's words Papi immediately moved in front of Suu. "You were going to lock up Suu! She hasn't even done anything wrong!" Papi shouted as she stood between Suu and Naruto. "Papi's gonna protect Suu!" the harpy declared as she turned to the girl and embraced her, all the while keeping her eyes locked with Naruto's.
Seeing and hearing her Naruto couldn't help but smile softly and shake his head, all the while Suu glanced up at the harpy with a curious look as she spoke "Protect...?".
"Hey! Birdy-girl!" the voice of an adolescent kid called out, drawing Naruto, Papi, and Suu's attention as the three of them looked up and behind where Papi and Suu were standing. A few paces down the riverside stood a group of kids who looked to be, for the most part, around the same age. The group consisted of four boys and three girls, your typical patch of friends. Well, there was one who stood out from the others.
"Hey! You bring some friends with you today?" a liminal girl that looked to be the oldest of the group asked the girl with a big grin. Judging by the fluffy ears sticking out of the top of her head and the tail gently swaying behind her this girl was a fox of some kind. She had blond hair that went just past her shoulders that matched her ears and tail with dazzling green eyes and noticeably long fangs.
"Are these friends of your Papi?" Naruto asked the harpy as the group of kids came over to them.
"Birdy-girl plays with us all the time" a familiar face told the blond. Turns out the girl that Papi saved in the park was with this group of kids and while her black hair was still in the same fashion as before, being kept out of her face with hair clips save for two strands, her clothes had changed from a long sleeved shirt and pants to a white dress with a matching hat.
"Really?" Naruto asked, finding that surprising.
"Yeah, she played with us yesterday too" the girl said.
"Is that so?" Naruto said as he turned his head towards Papi who in turn turned hers to avoid looking at him. While this happened both Naruto and Papi were taken by surprise when the four boys of the group blasted them with water from their water guns, and then making a tactical retreat with their arms full of water guns and water balloons.
"OOO, Papi'll get ya for that!" a soaked to the bones Papi happily declared as she went off to chase the boys. Though in the boy's case, getting caught wasn't all that bad since they got pushed into Papi's chest upon Papi getting them into headlocks.
'He, perverted kids' Naruto thought with a smirk as he watched them play.
"'This coming from the creator of the sexy jutsu? That's a laugh'" Kurama remarked with a bit of mirth if Naruto was hearing correctly.
'Never said I was innocent' Naruto responded with a subdued chuckle.
"Ahh!" the one blond boy of the group triumphantly let out as sprayed the black haired girl and the blond human girl of the group.
"Hey!" the black haired girl called out as she held her hat so it wouldn't fall off.
"Stop! We don't have water guns!" the blond girl told the kid.
"'Different world, same deal. Guess humans are the same no mater where they're from'" Kurama said.
'Even when you sound happy you still come off as a pessimist. They're just kids having fun' Naruto told the bijuu.
Noticing something from the corner of his eye Naruto looked to the sude to see Suu kneeling down next to the river with her bangs dipped into the water. After sucking up water Suu's hips filled out, grew taller, and her breasts went up from As to DDs, stunning the kids. Getting up Suu then moved over to the blond boy, and like Papi, she squished his face into her chest.
'There she goes copying Papi again' Naruto thought as the other boys rushed over to Suu.
"Ahh, stupid boys! See one girl with a big chest and they get all googly eyed and stupid" the fox girl complained with puffed out cheeks. Unlike the other two girls of the group she had brought a water gun, so having them turn into drooling idiots was just boring for her. She was about to just aim and fire when Suu beat her to the punchline, having let the boy go and pointing her finger at him and the others before a torrent of water came out at them.
As this happened Papi took the opportunity to grab the water guns the boys had dropped and tossed them to the unarmed girls who gladly took them. With the tables turned the four boys quickly turned on their heels and ran, heading up the bank and the girls chased after them.
Seeing them all playing together filled Naruto with a war feeling. It was nice to see them having fun like this. '... Hey, Kurama...' Naruto said to the fox as his small smile dwindled slightly.
"'What'" Kurama responded.
'Do you want to get out of there?' Naruto asked the bijuu.
'Kurama...?'
"'It's been a while since you asked me that... You know what my answer is'" Kurama told the blond, the bijuu's voice sounding tired.
'I know' "I know" Naruto told the fox both mentally and then verbally.
As their conversation came to an end the sound of a loud truck slammed into the blond's ears. Sure enough a big red truck was speeding down the road without a care in the world.
"How do you like my bitchin' ride? American cars are where it's at!" a greasy, died blond dude said from behind the wheel.
"Awww yeah-! So frikin' sweet!" a tanned, bleach blond, and obnoxious woman bellowed from the passenger seat
"Whoa! Hey, check it out! A bird-girl, fox-runt, and whatever the hell that is!" the man shouted as he noticed Suu and Papi along the side of the road.
"Uh-huh! It don't make no sense but I'm still laughin'" the woman barked, the two of them being loud enough for Papi and the others to hear.
"Check out the flying chicken butt and fluffy ears!"
"Is that a slime?! Nas-tay!"
As the pair od jackasses gawked and pointed fingers at the liminals the wind picked up and the black haired girls hat flew off. Without thinking she chased after the hat, leading her onto the road and directly into the path of the truck.
"Watch out!" Naruto shouted as he rushed to get to her in time, though from this distance he wouldn't have made it in time.
Had Suu not acted and enveloped the girl before the truck hit this incident might have ended horribly, but thanks to Suu absorbing the impact for the girl serious injury had been avoided.
"No pro?" Suu asked as she sat with her arms around the sniffling girl and her back splattered against the cement guardrail.
Rushing over to Suu and the girl the group completely ignored the crashed truck and its unconscious occupants that was impeded into the guardrail a little further down the road.
"Slime-lady..." the girl began after being helped up by Papi and wiping the tears from her eyes. "Thank you..." the girl thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
"Are you all right, Suu? You haven't moved since getting hit" Naruto asked the girl as he walked up next to Papi and the little girl. A quick shifting around on the spot and Suu simply glanced back up to them.
"Huh? You're stuck to the wall?" Papi asked as cracks started to spread out along the guardrail from where the truck hit it. Seconds later and the cracks had spread out to where Suu was stuck and finally that entire segment of the wall broke away from the bridge, pulling Suu along with the ruble.
"Suu!" Papi cried out with wide eyes as she quickly moved forward and reached out to grab her. Having grabbed hold of Suu's hand Papi found herself unable to pull the girl up with a single wing. If she tried to reach out with her other wing then she'd loss her grip on the bridge and Suu'd fall into the river anyway since Papi would fall with her.
As Suu started to slip out of Papi's hold it dawned on the harpy, 'I-It's no use! Suu's too slippery and Papi can't get a good grip with her bird hands!'. 'What should I do?! Suu's gonna fall into the river...!' Papi worried with sweat pouring down her face from the strain on her body.
"Papi" Suu said, snapping Papi out of her panicked thoughts for a moment. Looking up at Papi Suu gave her a wide smile and told her "Thank you" before slipping out of Papi's hand. Due do pulling with all her might and now having nothing in her hand Papi went tumbling back as her and the others heard a splash from the river below.
For a long moment the bridge was silent.
"... Suu..." Papi quietly said as tears welled uo in her eyes.
"No pro" Suu's voice shocked Papi along with the others. Quickly scrambling back to the edge of the bridge Papi looked down to see Suu laying in the back of the truck that had crashed.
"I was worried that I wouldn't get this down here fast enough, but I guess I made it in time" Naruto remarked as he stood next to the wrecked vehicle while trying not to show that he was sweating or out of breath. With out the use of clones moving a big truck like this wasn't the easiest task, but he managed.
"Boss!" Papi cried out with tears falling down her cheeks as she flew down towards the truck.
"Papi" Naruto let out as he opened his arms to embrace the girl, only to be ignored completely as the harpy girl flew into Suu's arms instead.
"'Smooth'" Kurama remarked as Papi cried into Suu's bosom as the slime comforted her.
'Shut it' Naruto told the fox, already feeling a little stupid at the moment and not needing some bijuu to rub it in.
"What?! We have to take care of her now?!" Miia yelled over the phone as Naruto, Suu, and Papi made their way back to the house.
"Of course we are, we can't just leave her to her own devices. She's a good girl, she just lacks some common sense" Naruto told the lamia.
"But Milord, I fear the situation is unsafe!" Centoria told her fellow blond as both her and Miia huddled around the phone.
"I'm not going to report someone who's done nothing wrong. We'll just have to teach her about the world" Naruto told them.
"But-/That is-" the two girls tried to reason when Naruto interjected.
"Don't sweat it. Just think of it like having a daughter" Naruto told the pair.
'Daughter...!' Miia/Centoria thought as they pictured what raising a girl with their Darling/Master would be like.
"Well... when you put it that way, we can't possibly refuse~!' Miia said with a dreamy look on her face as she twirled the phone line around her finger. Meanwhile...
"What visions are these?! What a rash thing for a servant to imagine of her master...!" Centoria cried in frustration as she all put pulled her hair out a little further down the hallway.
"...?" Having reached the front door Naruto didn't quite know how to react to what he was hearing and so he decided to ignore Miia and Centoria for the moment. "All right. You two make sure not to tell Smith" Naruto said to both pairs listening to him and getting an "All right!" from Papi as both her and Suu threw their arms up.
"Oh, that reminds me Darling" Miia began as the blond opened the door to see the lamia on the phone and... "Ms. Smith just arrived. Make sure she doesn't see Suu when you get home" Miia said as Smith was met with the sight of a panicked Naruto and Papi in the doorway with an innocently calm Suu standing between them.
