Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Before I start, I would like to discuss my suggestion for Gaara. Some of you were for pairing up Gaara with somebody while others were not so keen on the idea. So after reading the reviews, and reading a PM from somebody, I decided not to go through with the idea. The PM I read gave good reasons as to why it wouldn't work out, so I won't. Sorry for suggesting it.
So, in this chapter, Naruto is going to be hanging out with Yui. Enjoy.

Chapter 14: Rescuing a Friend
(Yuuki Household)
"You're going to hang out with Yui-san?" Mikan asked Naruto as she prepare herself to make dinner. "How long will you be gone?"
"Don't know." Naruto said as he put on his jacket. "But I'll at least be back here before the sun sets." Mikan nodded as she went in the kitchen to make meal.
"Have fun Naruto-kun!" Lala called out as he walk to the door. Naruto turn and wave to her before setting off to Yui's home.
As Mikan is cooking, she thought about Yui and frown. That girl can be a threat to her plan with being with Naruto. While she didn't met the girl personally, what she heard from Riko shows that Yui has a crush on Naruto, and is not like those fangirls. She'll have to find out more about that girl, to make sure she doesn't become a bigger threat. Lala, Risa, and Mio are already bad enough.
Riko is also thinking about Yui. She knows that the black haired girl has feelings for Naruto, even though she denies several times. With good looks and confidence, Riko is worried that Yui will be one of the girls that would win Naruto's heart. The only reason she isn't freaking out is the reassurance that Yui is in denial right now, and the girl doesn't like anything shameless.
Lala, meanwhile, is humming happily as she work on one of her other inventions. Jealousy or suspicion doesn't really exist with this girl.
(Kotegawa Household)
After School, Yui went to her house to get ready for her time with Naruto. Yui went to the bathroom, freshening up and putting on some more casual clothing, a long purples and a white blouse.
'Should I put my hair up into a ponytail?' Yui thought to herself, as she look at her hair. 'Maybe try something different, encase Naruto notice.' Then she shook her head rapidly. 'W-w-why would I care how Naruto thinks of me physically? It's not like I care if he thinks I pretty! We're just friends, that's all!'
As Yui examine herself more, a voice spoke up from behind the bathroom door. "Yui, are you almost finish, or are still fretting about your appearance like a girl going on a date with her crush?"
The black-haired girl yelp and jump back a little, startled by the voice. "Onii-chan, don't scare me like that!" Yui yelled back to her brother. Behind the door is Yui's older brother, Yuu Kotegawa.
"Pick up the pace then; I have things to do and I want to use the restroom before I do." He replied back. Yui sighed before going to the door and opening it up.
"Sorry about that Onii-chan." Yui apologized. "I just got a bit distracted." Her older brother is a fairly short guy with light brown hair, with bangs covering his forehead, and have grey eyes as well. He's also something of a ladies' man, much to Yui's annoyance.
As Yuu watch Yui go down the stairs and put down the shoes, Yuu got a bit curious. "Where are you going today Yui?" He asked her, leaning on the wall.
"I'm gonna be with Naruto for a few hours." Yui told him. That made Yuu smirk a little.
"Oh, going to hang out with your crush, are you?" Yuu teased, getting a big blush from the usually strict girl.
Oh yeah, Yuu knows that the girl have a crush on Naruto. He met him a few times, the first meeting being when Naruto and Yui was doing a project together, and he gain a liking to the blonde. A nice guy, mature, not a strict person like Yui is, but not a skirt chaser like he was at his age. And admittedly, still is.
He also found out through their interactions that Yui developed a crush for the blonde. That gave the older brother teasing material, and every time he mentions her crush, she gets fluster and denies it every time, especially around their parents. However, those who know the girl well knows that she has it bad for the blonde.
"Onii-chan!" Yui yelled in embarrassment. "I don't have a crush on him! I-I-I only see him as a friend, that's all!"
"Uh-huh, sure." Yuu said, still not believing. "That's explain why you always look at his whiskers like you want to pet him." Yui blush even more at that.
"G-Goodbye Onii-chan!" Yui said forcefully, speed walking out of the house. Yuu laughed as he heard the door slam. It's alway fun to tease his sister.
Yui huffed as she waited outside her house. Why does her Onii-chan always tease her about her crush - FRIEND, she does not have a crush on him - every time she mentions Naruto? She really don't have a crush on Naruto. And certainly doesn't want those cute whiskers on his cheek. Honest!
As she waited, she thought about Naruto's newest friend, Lala. Yui like the pink haired girl. She's kind, bubbly, and very innocent, unlike a few certain people she could think of. The only thing that bugs her about Lala is the marriage contract with Naruto and the fact that she's so clingy to him.
It's not jealousy or anything. Nope. She just, concerned that the relationship might not work in the end, since both of them are young. Yep, that's it.
Oh, denial at it's finest.
"It's look like you decided to wait for me outside." Yui turn to the voice, to see Naruto walking up to her. Instead of the Sainin High uniform, the blonde is wearing a black jacket with an orange shirt under it and black jeans. His hair is spiky, as always, and on the back of his jacket is a red spiral (Though Yui doesn't know it yet).
"I wanted to get a breath of fresh air." Yui said to him. Not to mention she wanted to avoid any potential teasing from her brother.
Naruto could tell she was lying, but decided to let it go. It's only a little lie and it's not like he gots secrets in his belt. "Alright. So, where do you want to go?"
Yui hummed. "How about the pet the store?" Yui said with a slight blush. "I….want to see the kittens there." Naruto stifle a chuckle. He's one of the few that knows of Yui's secret affection for cute and fluffy things.
"Sure." Naruto agreed. "Let's go." With that, the went for a trip to the pet store.
(Pet Store)
Yui coo as she look at all the cats in there, with Naruto behind her and watching. Despite her strict personality, in her own home and at school, seeing cute animals soften her heart by a lot.
"It so cute seeing you like this." Naruto teased with a teasing smirk. "Acting all girly whenever you encounter something cute."
Yui blush and stood up to glare at him. "J-j-just be sure not to tell anyone about this!" Yui told him warningly. Naruto merely raised his hands in mock surrender.
"You have my word that no words about this will come from my lip." Naruto said, the smirk still on.
When the two heard a giggle and turn to see the female cashier looking at them. "I'm sorry." She apologized to them. "But the two of you are acting so cute I couldn't help it." The two of them blush at that, especially Yui.
After that, the two started walking around town, though not far enough where they can't reach their homes. It was only a few minutes before Naruto decided to get to the main point on why he asked her to hang out with him. "Yui, please be honest with me about this." Yui look at him, wondering what he about to say. "What do you really think about Riko-chan? Remember, be honest."
Yui frown, not wanting to talk about her. But seeing the look on Naruto's face stopped her from avoiding the question. "I'm just frustrated with her." Yui finally told him. "Every time she trips, she ends up pantsing both boys and girls of the school. Every day she ends up in such shameless positions with somebody, especially you. I just can't stand with that happened! It's like she's doing it on purpose!"
Naruto isn't surprised by what she's saying. Yui has always been the girl who doesn't like anything perverted happening in the school, and Riko does that without even trying. Still though, he want to try and get those two to get along. Or at least, stop Yui from disliking her so much.
"Yui, we both know that Riko doesn't do that stuff on purpose." Naruto said to her. "If she could, she would've stopped tripping so much. Being labeled a pervert when you don't try to be isn't fun."
"And also," Naruto continued, looking up at the sky. "You don't really know Riko-chan. If you spend time with her, she can be somebody you want to be friends with. A kind girl with a good heart."
Yui thought about his words. Whenever Naruto says something to others, he really believes it. And Yui don't really know Riko personally. "...Do you really think we could get along?" Yui asked him.
Naruto smiled. "I believe you girls can. At least you can try." Naruto waited for her say anything. Finally, she look at him and nodded.
"Okay Naruto." Yui said to him. "Tomorrow, I'll try to get her know her better." Naruto smiled at that. There's progress. Hopefully, it'll go from there.
The two then decided to get back home, seeing that the sun is about to go down. As they walk back to each other houses, Naruto suddenly heard Kurama speak in his mind.
'Naruto. Get in one of the alleys now.' Kurama said sounding panicked. 'And use the reverse jinchuuriki summoning.'
Naruto was surprise to hear. 'Kurama? Why do you want me to use it? And which jinchuuriki?'
'It's Gaara and Shukaku. They're being attacked.' Kurama explained to him quickly. 'I don't know the details, but Shukaku is calling for help. We need to help them, now.'
'Kurama, I can't just do it now. Not with Yui around.' Naruto told her quickly. 'I need to wait-'
'We can't afford to wait. Summon them or I will take control and do it myself!'
Naruto resist the urge to groan. With no little option, he took Yui's hand and dragged her to one of the alleyes, much to her surprise and embarrassment.
"N-Naruto?" Yui squeaked out, a blush slowly spreading on her cheeks. "What are you doing?" Is he planning to kiss her over here?
Instead, Naruto bent down on one knee and took out a scroll, spreading it on the floor. "Yui, whatever you do, don't freak out." Naruto warned her, confusing the girl. Why would she freak out? And what is Naruto doing?
Naruto use one of his sharp nails to cut a long gash onto his palms. Then he started rapid hand signs in speed above a regular human and then push his palms on the scroll. "Reverse Tailed Beast Summoning!"
A cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped the alley, causing Yui to cough a little. When the smoke finally cleared, she slowly opened her eyes, only for them to pop wide open at what she's seeing.
In front of her is a redheaded man, around Naruto's age, with red clothing, some type of grey armor, and a tattoo above one of his eyes that says Love. The young man is currently bruised and unconscious, with a few cuts on him.
Naruto breathed a bit heavy, wiping the sweat off his brow. When he look up, he saw Yui looking at him with wide eyes. Naruto sighed.
Well, this has got to be one of the most idiotic moves he has ever done.
And that's the end. I hope the chapter is good. And it look like Gaara is gonna be here for at least a little bit. Don't worry, if Gaara stays at Japan, then he would be a side character. And Naruto gotta have at least one male friend. BY the way, the reason Naruto did the summoning in front of Yui is because he couldn't think at the time. And Kurama was demanding Naruto to do it now, in panic. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you guys later.
