A/N: Welcome back to My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute! I bring forth, chapter fourteen! Enjoy!
To answer some questions, I'm not going for 100% accuracy here with how things work. If I can make it fluffy, I'll make it fluffy. I think having a tailed beast with a thousand years on her belt forced to wear glasses is fluffy.
This chapter might get lewd.
Also. HOLY MOLY! A thousand followers! That's insane! Thank you all very much!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of these characters. I wrote this fanfic for fun.
My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute!
By Yangster
Chapter #14: My Demon Tenant is Just So Lovable!
His wallet was the emptiest that he had ever seen it.
It was bound to happen. He had foresaw this day, but he had never thought that it would come so soon. He thought that he still had food money for another week at least! Food for him, excluding all the money that Kyuumi bulldozed through every day.
Honestly, he spoiled her rotten.
He needed money if he was going to support Kyuumi's spending habit.
Good thing he was a ninja. He could just go and do some D rank or maybe even a C rank.
He did not really want to leave the village though.
A D rank would get him enough money for food.
Looking over at his companion, Kyuumi, who was busy swimming around in a puddle of snack wrappers, Naruto stood up from his spot at the table.
"Kyuumi."
She turned her head to look at him, "Hmm?"
"We're broke."
Her eyes immediately widened before she hopped out of the pile of snack wrappers, "S-So we're got no more money?!"
Naruto nodded, "Yes."
"W-Where did it all go!?" asked Kyuumi as she scurried up to him with a confused looked in her eye.
He gave her an incredulous expression.
"What..?"
He then raised a finger and pointed at her.
"W-Why are you pointing..?" asked Kyuumi before she gasped, "M-Me?!"
Naruto nodded.
"B-But how?!"
"You literally eat money. Those glasses you're wearing were super expensive and you always buy way too many snacks at the store!" explained Naruto as he crossed his arms.
"B-But.. Ugh! Fine.. What do you suggest we do?" asked Kyuumi with a pout.
"We're going to need to make some money, Kyuumi," replied Naruto as he reached over and grabbed his wallet from off the table.
"And how are we supposed to do that?"
He looked at her and chuckled, prompting her ears to flap downward as she tilted her head to the side in confusion.
"We live in a ninja village, Kyuumi. I'm a ninja. I can just take a mission," answered Naruto with a small smile.
Kyuumi frowned, "So does that mean you're just gonna leave me in your apartment while you go outside and work?"
"I mean, you can come with me if you want to. I'm just going to be taking a D rank mission," replied Naruto with a shrug as he made a hand-seal and transformed his appearance to his old blonde self.
"What about your team?"
Naruto pursed his lips, "Sakura's busy with her own things at the moment. Sasuke.. Sasuke's somewhere out there doing the dirty with Orochimaru.. It's really just me and you right now."
Kyuumi nodded in understanding before tucking in her ears and tails, "I see.. I will accompany you then on your mission to make enough money to buy me more things."
"Heh," snorted Naruto as he gave her a smile, "You really are hopeless."
"Yes, but it's your fault for perpetuating my hopelessness," replied Kyuumi with a smirk as she suddenly gestured for him to crouch down, "Now piggyback me to wherever you need to go. I honestly don't feel like walking."
Naruto chuckled in response before turning around and lowering himself, "Alright then, Princess Kyuumi."
"Heh. Always so eager to please," remarked Kyuumi as she got on to his back.
She then snuggled her cheek up to the back of his jacket, "Honestly, it's one of the reasons I like you so much."
"Oh?" asked Naruto, tilting his head to look at her from the corner of his eye, "Just like?"
"You get the idea, dummy.."
"Yeah, well. I still want to hear you say it," replied Naruto as he began walking forward, toward the door.
"It's.. It's too mushy.." admitted Kyuumi with a slight stammer, "I'll say it when I'm ready.."
"Well. I've got till the end of the world to hear you say it."
Kyuumi smiled, "Yeah.."
As he reached a hand to unlock his door, Naruto suddenly lurched forward, nearly slamming his face against the doorknob. His legs buckled as he strained to keep balance.
"W-What happened?!" asked Kyuumi as she brushed her disheveled hair to the side and readjusted her glasses.
"I think.. I think all that sleeping on the couch.. Has finally destroyed my back.." answered Naruto as he opened the door with a grunt.
"Well then.. Maybe you could start sleeping on the bed with me," replied Kyuumi with a shrug, as she slowly lowered herself in to a better position, "What do you say about that, Naruto?"
"I'd say that'd be pretty awesome," answered Naruto with a nod as he started walking forward again, "I get to sleep on my bed again and I got something cute to snuggle up with."
"I'll be doing the snuggling," remarked Kyuumi assuredly, "You'll be doing the head-pats and belly rubs."
Naruto chuckled, "Got it. Now let's go."
"Yes. Let's."
The journey to the Hokage Tower was easy enough. Sure, he could always grab a D rank from the Academy, but he really wanted to pay Tsunade a visit. Maybe give her a small thank you for allowing him to keep his lifestyle with Kyuumi.
He should give Kyuumi more piggybacks. In the position they were in, he could feel her petite breasts press up against his back.
They were so soft.
Oh, how Jiraiya would have been so proud of him for having that thought.
Bursting through the door to the main office, he yelped as he immediately dodged a thick book.
"Dammit, Naruto. Don't scare me like that!" stated Tsunade grumpily as she saw who it was.
"Sorry!" apologized Naruto with a slight bow.
"Ugh, whatever.. I could care less," replied Tsunade with a groan as she rested her head in her hand, "Why are you here?"
"I need a D rank mission."
"What for?" asked Tsunade, prompting Naruto to gesture towards Kyuumi.
"She's bankrupted me, Tsunade," answered Naruto, immediately getting flicked on the side of the head as the words left his mouth.
"Not my fault that you suck with money!" retorted Kyuumi as she puffed out her cheeks and huffed.
"What happened to all the money that Jiraiya gave you, Naruto?" asked Tsunade as she switched hands.
"I sorta spent it all on glasses," answered Naruto as he slowly hefted Kyuumi off of his back before pointing out the new wire-frame glasses on her face, "You would not believe how expensive glasses are."
"Well. That's to be expected when you decide to buy expensive brand-name glasses," remarked Tsunade with a shrug before looking over at Kyuumi, "Nice glasses, by the way."
"Thanks.." replied Kyuumi, her face tensing up slightly as she talked to what she perceived to be a bimbo monkey.
A bimbo monkey. Like a baboon. A bimboon.
"So, you need a D rank?" asked Tsunade as she looked over a bunch of files, "Why didn't you just grab one at the Academy?"
"Well, actually, I wanted to pay you a visit," answered Naruto with a smile.
"Oh my. You, a busy young man, paying a visit to someone like me?" replied Tsunade boredly with sarcasm evident in her voice, "I'm touched."
"Eesh," groaned Naruto in response, "You could at least say that with a bit of emotion."
"Yeah, well. I don't get paid to be emotional," retorted Tsunade with a smirk before she grabbed a file and read it.
"Alright, I got a mission for you," began Tsunade as she cleared her throat, "It's a C rank though, since I really don't want to waste you on a D rank mission. Anko needs someone to clear a few certain animals in the Forest of Death. Something about her needing the proper mix to make the forest as deadly as it can be."
Naruto gave Tsunade an incredulous look, "Why can't Anko do it herself?!"
"Because she's lazy and has the money," answered Tsunade bluntly, "Now haul ass and head over there."
"Alright then," replied Naruto with a sigh before he crouched back down so that Kyuumi could climb back on to his back, "I'll see you later then, Tsunade."
"See ya."
It had been a very long time since he had ventured to the Forest of Death. Seeing the forest itself was bitter sweet. It was where he felt that a significant amount of bonding had happened among his team but it had also been the place where Orochimaru had planted the cursed seal on Sasuke.
He had to push those memories to the back of his head as he arrived at the entrance.
Anko was sitting on a rock with a small bottle of green tea next to her and a plate full of dango.
"Hey, Anko," greeted Naruto with a wave.
"Sup, short-stuff," replied Anko as she waved back "So you're the one they sent over to cut down some animals for me?"
"Yep!" answered Naruto with a nod.
Anko nodded in response before looking at Kyuumi who was still riding Naruto's back, "So I see you brought your girlfriend along. Trying to show off, hmm?"
Her words prompted both Kyuumi and Naruto to blush.
"N-No. She just wanted to come along.."
Anko clicked her tongue, "And I see that you've carried her here. Eesh, Naruto. I never pegged you to be this submissive."
"W-W-What?!" exclaimed Naruto loudly, his blush spreading to his forehead, "N-No! She just doesn't like walking because it makes her feet sore."
"Aww," cooed Anko playfully, "But then that totally removes the option for foot massages."
"Actually.. It does.." admitted Kyuumi as she looked down at Naruto.
"L-Look.. Just tell me what I need to do before I die of embarrassment," begged Naruto as he slid Kyuumi off of his back.
"Alright, alright, I'm done teasing," replied Anko as she stood up, tossing an empty dango stick back on to her plate, "Just need you to kill a few boars. They're really messing up with the terrain and it's making it much harder for the other animals to prosper."
"What does the terrain have to do with other animals?" asked Naruto, tilting his head to the side as he asked his question.
"Well. Boars kick up the ground. I have some herbivores in the forest that need to eat the grass, but the boars basically ruin it for them. The herbivores feed the bigger predators like the wolves and giant leeches and tigers and bears," explained Anko, each new animal she stated making Naruto blanch more and more.
"Okay.. Just boars, right? How many?"
"Maybe a dozen. Actually, at least kill a baker's dozen to be safe."
"Alright.. Thirteen boars then," replied Naruto with a nod, "I think I can handle that."
'Yeah, you go do that. I'll come back in a few hours," said Anko simply in response as she picked up her stuff and began leaving, "Don't die in there, alright? Your corpse will mess up the eco-system."
Naruto swallowed quietly, "Alright.. I'll try not to."
He then released his transformation technique once Anko was out of sight before he looked over at Kyuumi, prompting her to look at him.
"Don't worry, Naruto. I won't let you die," comforted Kyuumi assuredly with a nod, "And if you do, I'll just find a way to resurrect you."
"Gee, that's awfully reassuring," replied Naruto sarcastically, earning him a playful smack on the arm.
"Honestly, Naruto, it's just a couple of boars," stated Kyuumi with a shrug, "I remember eating them for breakfast. Only once a week though. They're like a special treat."
"Sounds nice," said Naruto in response before he began walking into the forest.
"Since you're making me walk, I demand that you give me a foot massage after this," stated Kyuumi with a nod as she followed him.
"Yeah, yeah.. Alright then.." began Naruto before stopping, "I actually have no idea how I'm going to do this."
"Wait, what?" asked Kyuumi as she gave him an incredulous look, "What do you mean by that?!"
"Well.. I did not bring any of my weapons since I thought I would be getting a D rank," answered Naruto with a shrug, "Plus.. Now that I'm like fifty-percent chakra.. My chakra control is more out of whack.. I can't make a single rasengan to save my life.."
"Yeah.. I guess that'll happen. It must be also hard to do that transformation technique, huh?"
He nodded, "Yeah.. I had to use a trickle of chakra to cast it back then, but it's much harder now."
Kyuumi frowned as she dipped her head, "I didn't know that it's been so hard for you to do your ninja stuff now that you're becoming more and more chakra dense.. I'm sorry.."
"No, it's not your fault," replied Naruto as he stopped and turned around to face her, "You did what you had to do and I'm grateful for that."
"Mhm.." hummed Kyuumi quietly in response with a pout.
There was a moment of silence as they continued walking through the forest.
"So does that mean I'm going to be the one doing the killing of the boars?" asked Kyuumi as she looked up at Naruto.
He looked at her, "Do you want to?"
"Yeah," replied Kyuumi as she raised her hands in front of her and cracked her knuckles, "I haven't killed anything in a long time and I'm pent up."
"Just don't get too messy with it, alright, Kyuumi? I don't want to hug someone covered in blood."
She gave him a wicked smile before her ears and tails popped out of their hiding places, "No promises!"
Kyuumi then ran off giggling to fulfill her slaughtering needs.
Eesh, sometimes she really could act like a child.
A evil, blood-lusting child.
"Just don't run too far off! I don't want you to get lost!" called Naruto as she disappeared from view.
He was pretty sure she heard him.
Walking around, Naruto found himself a comfortable and large nook underneath a tree and sat down. He estimated that it would take about an hour for Kyuumi to kill thirteen boars? She was fast, ruthless and deadly and boars were slow, equally ruthless and less deadly. It was a no-brainer.
He should not have to worry about Kyuumi whatsoever.
But he was worried.
She just looked so cute and precious. It was sometimes difficult to remember that she was actually a terrifying demon that killed thousands upon thousands of people and animals for entertainment.
Also, what happens if she goes overboard? What if she accidentally alerts everyone to what she truly was?
Great, now he was even more worried.
Suddenly, the sound of a boar's death rattle nearby rang throughout the forest, prompting Naruto to turn his head toward where the sound came from. It looked like Kyuumi had already started.
Well, that barely took much time at all. Maybe he would cut the hour down to forty-five minutes.
Ugh, he hated being alone. He had gotten so used to having Kyuumi around with him at all times.
It was really boring just sitting alone in a forest.
Naruto continued on sitting there for another few minutes, that eventually turned into a half hour. Eventually an hour had passed and Naruto was getting more and more worried. What happened to Kyuumi? Did something happen to Kyuumi? Where was she? What was she doing right now?
Did she get kidnapped?
No way she could have gotten kidnapped right?
Who in their right mind would kidnap a tailed-beast?
Maybe he should go and search for her.
He should really go search for her.
With a groan, Naruto dusted off the bottom of his pants and began searching for Kyuumi.
It was then that it began to rain. It came out of nowhere and went from a light shower to a heavy downpour in only a few seconds. It was not the warm rain that came with spring, but rather the much colder variety that came during fall. Honestly, he hated rain.
Before long, his clothes were drenched, but he kept on walking.
Kyuumi had to be out here somewhere right?
"Kyuumi!" called Naruto loudly, his voice coming out a bit hoarse as he held both his hands out in front of his face in an attempt to increase the volume of his voice.
No response, unless you considered the sound of rain hitting the leaves and the ground to be a response.
He contemplated for a second whether or not to take off his cowl. It stuck to to his hair and the sides of his face uncomfortably, but then again, he really did not want the rain to hit him directly on the face.
The cowl stayed on.
"K-Kyuumi!"
He could feel his arms shivering slightly as it got colder and colder. He could not help comparing the sensation to how cold the rain was back at the Valley of the End where he fought Sasuke.
The only difference now was that he did not have the pain of missing a lung to distract him from the chill.
Still, he preferred feeling cold over nearly dying, so it was not that bad.
"Kyuumi!" he called out once more as loudly as he could.
"Naruto!"
The voice came from behind him, prompting him to turn around, just in time for him to see Kyuumi running towards him with her arms held in front of her. The next thing he knew, she had him in a tight embrace.
"K-Kyuumi.." whispered Naruto as he shivered against her, "Glad you could make it back to me on time.."
"Shush.. You're going to get sick if you stay out in the rain any longer.." replied Kyuumi as she guided him underneath a tree, "We should find some shelter to wait out this rain."
"A-Alright.." said Naruto in response, "There was this.. This nook in a tree just a few minutes from here.."
"Which direction?"
He pointed to where Kyuumi came from, prompting her to nod.
"Alright.. Here.. Let me piggyback you.."
"Huh. Aren't you worried about getting sore feet?" asked Naruto, prompting Kyuumi to frown.
"I don't care about my feeting getting sore when it's for you.. Now get on my back," replied Kyuumi bluntly as she bent a bit forward.
"Alright.. If you insist."
Climbing on to her back, Naruto widened his eyes slightly at how secure it felt. Then he remembered that she had the strength of a thousand monkeys in her pinkie toe. Then suddenly, without warning, Kyuumi began running.
"WOAH!"
Sprinting, bursting through the air like a ball of orange and red as she headed towards where he had pointed.
Just as he almost slipped off her back, she tightened her grip around his legs.
Thankfully so, since he nearly flew off of her when she suddenly stopped.
"Is this the nook?"
He blinked. That was fast.
"Yeah, that is," replied Naruto after a moment.
She nodded in response before quickly scurrying underneath the cover of the tree. Placing Naruto down inside, she then used her tails to cover up the entrance, protecting them from the wind.
It was kind of like a tail fort except half of it was made by a partially uprooted tree.
"Are you okay?" asked Kyuumi, her blue-gray eyes glimmering slightly in the darkness.
"J-Just a bit cold," answered Naruto as he pulled down his cowl, revealing his two fox ears.
"Let me get you out of those wet clothes.."
"But then I'd be naked.. Wouldn't that make me even colder..?"
"Dummy.. Being wet is much worse than being naked.."
"Alright.. You know best.." replied Naruto as he scooted up closer to her.
"About time you acknowledge that.." remarked Kyuumi with a smirk as she pulled Naruto's drenched jacket off of him, followed up by his shirt.
"It's still r-really cold," stated Naruto with a slight shiver.
"Phase two of the plan," began Kyuumi as she made him lie down on his jacket, "I'm going to warm you up by snuggling up against you."
"Oh, okay," replied Naruto as he shrugged.
"Without my clothes on."
"Oh, alri-.. What..?" asked Naruto as he sat up, immediately blushing once he had processed what she had said.
"Heat doesn't transfer well through clothing," explained Kyuumi, her cheeks heating up a bit as she pushed him back down, "Plus you've seen me unclothed plenty of times. It isn't any different this time around."
"Y-Yeah but you'll be pressed up against me!"
"We've bathed together, Naruto.."
"I mean.. Usually we have a small space between us.."
She smacked him on the chest, "Does my body not please you, Naruto? Huh?!"
"I-I mean-!"
"Just shut up and just do what I say," interrupted Kyuumi as she tossed off her clothing and laid beside him, "Hands off my chest and my rear and we'll be just fine."
He closed his eyes and swallowed quietly, "O-Okay then.."
Taking a deep breath to calm down his heart, Naruto opened his eyes and wrapped a hand around Kyuumi's lower back, eliciting a small little meep from her. She responded by placing both of her hands on his shoulders, before sliding them forward and wrapping them around his neck.
"I.. I feel like we skipped a few steps in our relationship.." remarked Naruto nervously, feeling grateful that Kyuumi could not see his blush in the darkness.
"What do you mean by that, Naruto..?" asked Kyuumi as she leaned in close to him, much to his embarrassment.
"When we first met, you were already naked.. That skipped a whole lot of steps.. Then we bathed together.. Which skipped even more skips. Then we kissed.. I mean, we haven't even said 'I love you' to each other yet," explained Naruto hesitantly, pausing between every few words as he tried to recall everything that had happened between them.
"Oh," let out Kyuumi in response, "See, I'm not so familiar with the monkey's steps to a relationship.. I just went with what felt natural.."
"So.. Does this mean, what we're doing right now feels natural..?"
"Oh, so you're telling me," began Kyuumi with a pout as she pressed her breasts against his chest, "That this doesn't feel natural..?"
"It-It does but.. But.. Don't you think we're moving a bit fast?!" asked Naruto as his entire face turned red.
"You want the honest truth, Naruto..?"
"Well, yeah."
"I don't think we're moving fast enough sometimes," admitted Kyuumi as she moved even closer to him.
He shivered, not from how cold it was, but from how warm Kyuumi's breath was.
"It's cold Naruto.." whispered Kyuumi huskily, "Won't you warm me up..?"
"Can tailed beasts even get cold?"
"Does it matter..?"
He looked into her eyes.
"I guess not."
As he said that, he found himself leaning closer and closer towards her.
But she closed the distance before him and quickly pressed her lips against his. Somehow, that light, delicate touch was just enough to re-invigorate him and before he knew it, he had pulled himself on top of her.
Kyuumi had hummed a soft note of approval as she arched her back, pressing her chest against his, wanting to touch as much as him as she could.
Her body felt so fragile against his, that it felt that if he were to put too much pressure on her, she would break, but the eager noises she made said otherwise. Despite being underneath him, Kyuumi was the one with most of the control. Every little move she made, he would make one in response.
He let out a grunt as her hands found their way into his hair, the way her dainty fingers brushed against his ears felt absolutely amazing to him. Now he understood why she loved head pats.
Suddenly she pulled away, prompting him to quirk a brow.
"Hmm?"
"Glasses."
"Oh."
Once she had placed her glasses safely off to the side, they continued their heated make-out session. Every sound, taste and smell was savoured as the two continued pressing their bodies together.
Every time Kyuumi's breasts rubbed up against his chest, she would moan quietly into their kiss and every time her leg brushed up against his groin, he would groan. The louder they got, the more they drowned out the rain outside.
Before long, they had even forgotten that it was raining in the first place.
"I love you, Kyuumi," stated Naruto breathlessly as he pulled back for air, "With all my heart."
She felt her entire body flush in joy as she heard those words from him. Even in the darkness, she could see the genuinely warm smile he had on his face. Honestly, she felt so happy that she found herself speechless for a moment.
"I-I love you too, Naruto."
She cleared her throat. She had not meant to stutter.
"I love you too, Naruto, with every fiber of my being."
If it was even possible, she saw his smile grow even wider.
She could not help but smile back.
"Damn, your smile could melt ice.." remarked Kyuumi, eliciting a chuckle from Naruto.
"Yeah, well, you could just shatter the ice with how hard you slap," replied Naruto, prompting Kyuumi to snort.
"Oh please. I can slap way harder than that."
"Yeah. I just hope you don't end up using a full-powered slap on me."
She smirked.
"No promises."
