Here we go, another chapter for you all to enjoy! Now, I know that I said that this would be a longer chapter, I had thought to go into the next couple of issues with this chapter but it didn't really flow properly, I was going to either have to break up the issues which wouldn't work out right or make the chapter extra long and force it together, which also didn't feel right. So! Here's another short chapter, enjoy, review, please.

Gina grumbled angrily as she continued filling out the apparently endless forms, each successive sheet presented to the young woman causing her mood to deteriorate even further. After the final sheet was filled out, Gina slammed the pen she had been using into onto the desk, her burning gaze fixated on the man standing before her. "Enough stalling, take me in there. Now."

Gina's mood worsened rapidly as she entered the heavily fortified building, the raucous noise and various catcalls setting the young genius on edge. As she followed her guide deeper into the building, a familiar round of laughter caused a growl to escape Gina's lips. Once her guide stopped, Gina folded her arms under her breasts, glaring balefully at the occupants of the large cell that smiled stupidly at her.

"Kirei! I knew you'd find us! Quick, help us break out!" Naruto giggled loudly as he held a equally gleeful Jaliera, the Kryn woman clinging to Naruto's neck as she rested comfortably in the shinobi's lap. The pair were dressed in stylish evening wear... or what had once been stylish evening wear. Both occupants of the cell were covered in soot, their clothes tattered as they continued to laugh loudly. Groaning loudly, Gina rested her head against the cool iron bars as she stared at her boyfriend in annoyance.

"Three days! You were both gone for three days and this is how I find you? What the hell did you do to get thrown in prison? Never mind that, how the hell did you get caught in the first place?!"

Chapter 21

Several hours later

Naruto watched as Gina silently stewed in her anger, her body language successfully communicating just how angry his girlfriend was as as the tired trio made their way home. Looking over his shoulder, Naruto saw a slumbering Jaliera stretching out along the back seats of the car, the shinobi glad that the young woman had finally fallen asleep. 'Jaliera is a very giggly drunk, I better keep that in mind. Also, she's a light weight, only two shots and she was out for the count, who would have thought...'

Turning back towards his incensed girlfriend, Naruto decided it was time to bite the bullet and address the explosive bomb... I mean, angry young woman beside him.

'I dunno, that doesn't seem like a good idea...'

'Oh come on, how bad can it go?'

'You do remember your girlfriend there builds nukes... for fun. Just think about that for a minute.'

'...'

'...'

'Yeah, she's the perfect kind of girl for me, we both love heavy artillery... and?' Kurama groaned loudly as he was once again introduced to the obliviousness that is Naruto.

'You know what? Fine, go ahead, talk to her. Just don't come crying to me when you have regenerate your flesh due to radiation burns.' Naruto took a deep breath, his hands clenching as he worked up the courage to jump into the lion's den once more.

"Kirei, I'm sorry that you had to..."

"Not. Another. Word." As Gina growled out these three words, a violent spike of killer intent flared around her, causing Naruto's eyes to widen in shock.

'See what I mean? We are so sleeping on the couch tonight. Though I must say I am impressed by the killer intent, never pegged Gina for the type.' Naruto sighed under his breathing, knowing better than to talk with Gina when she was like this.

As the Ginamobile pulled into the garage beneath the house, Gina leaped from the car and quickly strode towards the elevator. Naruto pulled the still sleeping Jaliera from the back seats, grinning softly as the woman snuggled closer to his body. A loud pinging sound announced the arrival of the elevator, causing Naruto to look over his shoulder. The shinobi sighed softly a she watched Gina enter the lift, a prominent scowl marring her beautiful her face as glanced at her boyfriend. Naruto's eyes focused on the angry woman, but all too soon the doors slid shut and the elevator ascended into the house. Naruto sighed once more as he changed his focus to his still sleeping cargo.

"Well, time to put you to bed."

The next morning – Naruto's room

Even though Gina had been worn out when she had laid down to rest, a sleepless night was the only company that she had. The young genius groaned softly as her hand rested on the spot that was normally occupied by Naruto, his usual warmth and comforting presence missing from Gina's bed since everyone had headed to Nevada. Groaning once more ,Gina rose from her cold bed, her tired body making it's way towards the bathroom. 'Naruto... you really are a baka.'

Several minutes later, Gina was making her way down the stairs, hoping to catch Naruto as he prepared breakfast. 'We'll just talk about this, clear the air, after all he's never been in a relationship before, he probably has no idea why I'm so...' Gina's train of thought petered out as she entered the kitchen, the empty room causing the young woman's mood to plummet slowly. 'He's... wait, what the heck?'

Gina looked at the table and blinked her eyes in surprise as she studied four small glowing domes that rested on top of the wooden furniture. Cocking her head to the side, Gina saw a small piece of paper on the table, the young woman reaching forward and grasping the note in her hand. Moments later, a soft smile showed Gina's slowly rising mood, the young woman sitting in her customary seat as she reached towards the dome of light. At the slightest touch of her skin, the seal collapsed, sparkles of light rising into the air as the steaming food inside was revealed to the young woman. Grabbing her utensils, Gina shook her head in wonder as she stared at the sight before her.

'Well, maybe I can cut him a break. A small break. Jerk, he can't even let me get mad at him properly.' Several minutes later a loudly yawning Sheila entered the room, her hand scratching lightly at her tousled hair.

"Morning Gi... what the hell? Lemme guess, Naruto?" Gina giggled as she nodded, a grumbling Sheila taking her seat as she looked at the dome before her.

"It's ok, it's safe." Sheila looked at the blonde, her expression conveying her doubt when a moaning Jaliera entered the kitchen.

"Ugh... never gonna to drink again, my head is killing me..." Gina gave the alien woman a look of pity as she stood up, a glass of water held in her hands as she made her way towards the hungover Kryn. Jaliera's eyes opened, focused on the proffered glass and smiled at Gina in gratitude, the young woman slowing drinking the cool liquid.

"So, how about you tell us what happened? After all, I was expecting you two to be back that night, not get arrested and stuck in jail." Sheila did a spit take as she looked at the furry woman in shock.

"Jail?! What the heck happened to you two!" Jaleria sighed as she sat down, her hand brushing against her glowing dome as the young woman prepared to eat breakfast.

"Well, it all sort of happened like this..."

That Afternoon

Naruto sighed happily as he clung to the spire capping the Bank of America Plaza skyscraper, the blonde laughing softly as he felt the wind whipping around his loose clothing.

"Ah, there's nothing like finding a ridiculously tall building or monument to clear the old noggin. Course, it would be better if people stopped screaming!" A loud scream from below caused the shinobi to look down in annoyance at the large number of people that gathered at the base of the building, not to mention the group of squad cars that just pulled up.

"Huh, you'd think they've never seen someone climbing a tall building before."

'Sure they have, they see it all the time, the people that normally do that are known as suicidal maniacs.'

'Bite me, Kurama. Stop trying to ruin my adrenaline rush... killjoy.' A loud bang caught the shinobi's attention, his gaze focusing on the now open access panel he had used to get on the roof.

"YOU DUMBASS! GET OFF OF THE ROOF, RIGHT NOW!" Naruto grinned widely as he watched an enraged Britanny pull herself on the roof, her body clinging to the tall structure as she glared at the blonde before her.

"Cheets!" A loud growl was the only response that Britanny spared the blonde, the were-cheetah focusing on her hand holds as she tried to reach him without being blown off of the roof.

"Don't you 'Cheets' me! You vanished for three days! What the hell, never heard about a little thing called a phone?" Naruto's previously happy mood evaporated as he looked at Britanny with a deadpan expression.

"Remember, I came from a civilization that didn't have phones? I was having so much fun I kinda forgot about it. Not to mention, I dropped mine in the desert when I tried to save SOMEBODY. I wonder who that could have been..." Britanny froze at the last sentence Naruto uttered, her shocked expression causing Naruto to grin widely.

"Save someone... do you mean me? What?! When?" Naruto let go of the spire, a move that caused countless people below him to scream in panic. But when the shinobi stuck to the spire due to his chakra shrouded feet, a series of loud exclamations reached his ears, causing the blonde to grin widely.

"Simple, when you were facing the Beta Phantom alone. How could I let you go against that thing on your own when I could help?" Naruto folded his arms against his chest, his gaze focusing on the now blushing were-cheetah, while his ears heard the multiple exclamations form the people below.

"What the hell, he's sticking to the tower!"

"It has to be some kind of stunt... or magic! Yep, it's definitely magic!"

"He's an alien I tell ya! He'll kill us all!"

Naruto sighed as he walked towards Britanny, the shinobi grabbing the surprised were-cheetah as he reached her. Britanny's eyes widened as Naruto held her in his arms, the shinobi clambering back inside of the building with his still cargo. A still silent Britanny was staring at the man that was holding her in his arms, the were-cheetah never noticing that she had shifted into her human form in shock. The now much smaller woman bit her lower lip gently, the uncomfortable silence stretching out as she tried to decide what she wanted to say to him. But in the end Naruto took the matter into his own hands, placing Britanny on the ground once more and ruffling the smaller woman's hair.

"So, how did you find me?" Britanny looked up at Naruto, her eyebrow cocked as she tried to decide on her answer to the blonde's question.

"Well, I followed your scent downtown, but then I lost it. After that, I just waited to hear and screams of panic or fear, I knew that you'd be the cause of it. And look at that, I was right!" Naruto growled as Kurama laughed loudly, the biju gasping for metaphysical air as his laughter petered out.

"Oh come on, I am not that bad!" Britanny stopped, crossing her arms under her much smaller bust, her deadpan expression causing Naruto to fidget.

"Ok, fine i guess I am that bad. Anyways, how about a little race?" Britanny's eyes widened in joy, her smile causing Naruto to laugh loudly as the duo raced towards the elevators. As the pair waited for the elevator car to arrive, Naruto nudged the happily bouncing Britanny with his hip, causing the young woman to look his way. "So, how exactly did Gina find out what happened to Jaliera and I?

Britanny began to chew on her lower lip, her once excited movements slowing as she held her hands behind her back. "Well..."

Flashback

Gina sighed tiredly as she sat in front of the living room TV, her normally upbeat personality muted as she wondered for what seemed like the millionth time had happened to Naruto.

"I give him and Jaleria permission to go and have some fun and this is what happens. He is in so much trouble once I find out what's going on..." Gina's tirade trailed off as she saw the latest CNN news story flash across the screen. "Las Vegas in Turmoil... oh crap, why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Gina leaned forward as she listened to the news present the latest scoop from the western state.

"This is Drew Griffin for CNN, coming live to you from Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past several days there have been a string of strange reports from this oasis in the sand, a series of unexplained events that have not only surprised and shocked it's locals, but the police as well." Gina groaned as the last line was spoken, her gut tell her that her fears would soon be confirmed.

"Several casinos have recently closed their doors, due to the fact that they no longer have the money needed to continue their gambling operations. Each casino had been cleaned out over the course of several hours, reports from each of the owners indicate that several identical blonde haired men entered each establishment and proceeded to clean them out for every dollar they had." Gina's hand covered her mouth in shock, hoping now that who she thought was behind this was true.

'Damn, we could really use that money...'

"And in an unexpected act of kindness, the local offices for Food for the Poor, The Boys and Girls Club of America and the American Red Cross each received extremely large donations from an 'anonymous benefactor', a man that many witnesses reported possesses blonde, spiky, hair." Gina groaned as she felt millions of dollars slipping through her fingers once more.

'Dammit...'

"But, apparently not all of his money was used for charity as this same man began a string of wild parties that have run for the last two days, but every time someone tries to catch this mysterious man on film he disappears into the crowd."

'Good, that means no one will know that he's got no passport, ID, or...'

"Until now, that is. Let's go see if we can get a few words with our mystery man!"

"SHIT!"

Gina watched intently as the reporter and his cameraman approached a lively building, Gina's ire rising as she saw groups of beautiful, busty woman all scrambling to get inside. 'The couch, he is so sleeping on the couch.' Finally the reporter had found Naruto and all Gina could do was look on in shock.

Naruto was decked out in a hand tailored charcoal silk suit, the impeccable clothing molding to his muscular frame perfectly. The shinobi was grinning widely as he spun around a large dance floor, a giggling Jaliera held in his arms. Gina's jealously rose several notches as she saw the stunning dress that Jaliera was wearing, the ice blue dress complementing her furs natural colours perfectly as the pair glided over the dance floor. Multiple couples surrounded the pair, cheering and laughing at the playful display they were putting on. A large buffet table groaned under the weight of the food that it bore, the grinning servers watching the lively atmosphere before them happily. Finally, Drew managed to catch Naruto as he and Jaliera stepped off of the dance floor, the blonde sweating lightly as he placed his arm around a bouncing Jaliera's waist, his free hand raising a glass of amber liquid to his lips that was swiftly downed.

"Excuse me! CNN News, America is wondering just who you are? And just who, or even what exactly, is this lovely, exotic woman?" Gina's eyes widened as she saw a mischievous look appear on Naruto's face, the young woman's head shaking slowly as she watched the event unfold in front of her.

"Don't you do it."

"America want's to know?"

"Don't you do it!"

"YOSHA! I am Uzumaki Naruto, Sixth Hokage of Konoha! And this is Jaliera, she's an alien!"

"DAMMIT!"

"And what exactly is a Hok..."

"BASTARD! WE'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!" Gina watched in wide eyed fascination as the cameraman focused on a large number of men dressed in bad suits, several of them holding guns.

"Hah! Took you long enough! Are you still mad I kicked the crap outta your boys before? I said I was sorry, but when they couldn't prove I was cheating they tried to kick the shit out of me! What was I supposed to do, just sit there and take it?" Gina blinked as the man who had spoken growled loudly, his arm pointing at the grinning blonde angrily. Naruto gave Jaliera a brief kiss before he leaped forward, his foot lashing out with a devastating crescent kick that sent the apparent leader of the group crashing to the ground. The cameras shook violently for several seconds as the camera man backed away from the brewing brawl, but soon enough the action was on screen once more.

"This is amazing folks! That's was Joe Masseria, an Underboss for the Masseria crime family! I don't know what his connection is to this 'Uzumaki Naruto', but these two are causing an uproar here in Vegas!" Gina winced as she saw Naruto viciously plunge a kunai into a man's shoulder, the thug screaming shrilly as he was throw on top of a nearby table. Naruto grinned as he grabbed a nearly empty bottle whiskey resting on the table, downed the rest of the alcohol before using the bottle like a club, the glass bottle catching a charging thug in the jaw. "Quick, Chuck, lets get out of here before we get caught in the crossfire!"

End Flashback

"Aw crap baskets. I totally forgot about that."

"Yep, she saw you taking on the Las Vegas mafia while still drinking enough booze to get a dozen people drunk." Naruto faced a grinning Britanny, his finger pointing at the giggling woman in righteous indignation.

"Oi! The booze was a legitimate strategy, I knew a guy that was a drunken boxing master, I wanted to see if I could do the same thing!"

"What about the favours that sis had to burn with her government contacts to get you released?"

"Shit... I'll think of something to make it up to her." Britanny giggled softly as she followed Naruto out of the elevator, the pair ignoring the screaming locals as they pointed at the pair.

"It's him! This is the police, freeze!" Naruto looked up in surprise, his eyes blinking slowly as he viewed dozens of guns pointing in the pair's direction. "Down on the ground, you're under arrest for trespassing!" Naruto looked over at a twitching Britanny, the were-cheetah's hands raising slowly in surrender as she spied the weaponry pointed at her.

"So I'm guessing I can't beat these guys up either, can I?" The sound of multiple guns cocking caused Britanny's glare to shift towards a grinning shinobi, the blonde waving his hands back and forth as he tried to calm the young woman down once more. "I'm just kidding! Geez, nobody has a sense of humour anymore. Seriously, it's ok, I asked the owner of the building if I could use the roof and he said yes, it's no biggie! Really, everything is cool, just give him a call."

"Don't hand me that crap, you're under... WHAT!?" The officer in charge spun around abruptly, his angered visage staring at a young beat cop that was trying to hand him a phone.

"Sarge, I really think you need to take this call."

"I don't care if it's the chief of police, I'm bagging this lying sack of shit..."

"Sarge, he says he is Jeffrey Warwick, CEO of Bentley Forbes. They own the building and he said that he gave Mr. Uzumaki permission to access the rooftop." As the young police officer finished speaking, the Sergeant that he had been addressing looked at the phone as if it were a bomb, sweat doting his brow as he slowly reached for the device. While the sergeant spoke with the CEO of Bentley Forbes, Britanny nudged Naruto meaningfully.

"Oi, is this another shinobi trick?" Naruto grinned as he shook his head, his arms folding over his chest in satisfaction.

"Nah, I actually ran into the guy in Las Vegas. After a few drinks he really loosened up! Once he saw that I loved tall buildings, plus after demonstrating several shinobi moves, he realized that I could save myself if I ever did fall and he said I was welcome to use any of the buildings his company owns as a thinking spot." Britanny looked at Naruto in shock, her head slowly shaking as she looked at the now cowed Officer that had been threatening the pair earlier.

'Seriously, how the hell do these things happen to you?" Naruto shrugged nonchalantly and focused on the now visibly sweating sergeant.

"Yes sir... yes sir... of course sir. Thank you sir." As the Sergeant finished his call, he glared at the grinning shinobi before him.

"He's not pressing charges and we have been directed to let you leave. But before you go, we're going to get some answers out of you two!"

"Screw that, let's start this race right now Cheets!" Britanny's eyes blinked slowly as a smirk slowly appeared, her body swiftly shifting into her hybrid form. As her furry transformation finished, the Sergeant took a step back and swore loudly.

"Ah dammit, it's Cheetah! Quick, get the high speed pursuit squad, right now!" Naruto leaned forward, his fingertips resting lightly on the ground as he rose on his toes in anticipation. Looking over at his companion, Naruto watched Cheetah's tail lashing to and fro as she followed his lead. "No! Don't let her..." The officer raised his arm, shielding his face from the cloud of violently swirling dust that had been kicked up as the pair raced away from the gathered throng of people. "... start running... ...never mind, it's useless to chase her now. Shit."

Diggers House

Both Gina and Sheila sat at the table, their predatory stares unnerving Jaliera as she finished explaining what had occurred during her three day trip to Las Vegas. Gina was the first to recover from the story, her head shaking as she assessed the woman seated before her.

"So, you both entered Vegas, acquired suitable evening wear and then Naruto proceeded to wine and dine you at one of the fanciest restaurants in the city. And then after you two talked about your live on Aebra, that blonde idiot of ours organized a massive amount of entertainment so that you could cut loose?" Jaliera blushed as she recalled the memorable evening, a happy smile forming slowly as she rested her elbows on the table, her chin resting on the palms of her hands.

"Mm hmm, he did. He was such a gentleman, holding the door for me, escorting me everywhere, it was like I was being treated like a princess. And the parties that he organized, they were so much fun! It was great, I got to act like a normal person for once, not a ruler that was being observed during every waking moment." Gina smirked as she rested her arm on the table, the blonde leaning forward until she had Jaliera's complete attention.

"Yeah, I can see how that would be a real downer. Now, you obviously spent two nights there... and we want details." Jaliera's eyes widened as she looked back and forth, the smirking pair of Gina and Sheila causing the young alien to swallow nervously.

Interstate 285 – Atlanta, Georgia

Naruto grinned widely, the blonde shinobi maintaining a decent lead over a growling Britanny, that is until Naruto's eyes widened in shock and he clutched at his heart, the blonde's tripping over his own feet as he rolled to a stop on the busy interstate. Britanny cried out in fear, the were-cheetah's legs pumping furiously as she sped up, narrowly managing to grab the prone shinobi before a cargo truck ran him over, the wide eyed driver of said truck leaning heavily on the vehicle's horn as Britanny raced off with her stunned cargo.

"Naruto! What the hell, I'm used to saving Gina, not you! What happened?" Naruto was gasping for breath, his hand still clutching at his heart as his head turned back towards the house.

"I feel... cold. As if Death is awaiting my return to our house. I ain't going back there, ya hear me! You'll never take me alive!" Looking up at a confused Britanny, Naruto managed to free himself, landing in a crouch before racing down the interstate, a indignant Britanny racing after him.

"OI! Get back here you bastard! I'm dragging you home no matter what, ya here? I am not taking the fall for you, no matter how cute you are!"

Several hours later

Naruto growled weakly as he struggled against the rope that bound him, his gaze focusing on the small, blinking device attached to his forearm. But it was the happily humming Brittany that was the final straw, the young woman smiling broadly as she dragged the bound shinobi down the road that led back home.

"I should have never let them study my Chakra, this is so unfair."

"Yep, you're right Naruto, it is unfair but it's still your fault. Just like it's your fault for underestimating my speed, you'd think you would have learned that by now."

'Well if SOMEBODY had done their job of watching my back, then this would have never happened! Dammit, you could at least help me overload this damn thing, Kurama!' An evil chuckle was Naruto's only answer to his mental shouting, the blonde groaning as he was dropped on the front porch of the house.

"Dammit, Cheets! Lemme go, I'll give you another case of fresh tuna!" Naruto watched as the were-cheetah apparently considered the offer, the shinobi feeling a surge of hope that was ruthlessly crushed as Britanny flashed him a victory sign.

"Sorry, already got my tuna fix from sis." Just as Naruto was about to increase his offer, the front door gave a high pitched squeal as it slowly swung open, Naruto's eyes widening as he turned to face his doom. A devilishly smirking Gina stood in the doorway, her hands resting on her hips as she studied the shinobi before her.

"Excellent work sis, I've left your payment in your room, enjoy." Naruto tried to crawl after the bouncing were-cheetah, but a dainty foot in his path forced Naruto's gaze upwards once more.

"Naru-kun, I think you and I need to have a little... chat." Crouching down, Gina swiftly released her boyfriend, pulling the young man to his feet before working on removing the chakra inhibitor. Naruto nervously watched the young woman as she worked, the look of concentration causing Naruto to smile warmly.

"Cute." Gina looked up in shock, a furious blush staining her cheeks as the armband fell from her nerveless fingers, a grinning Naruto wrapping the still woman in his arms. Moments later a brilliant flash of light flared briefly, leaving the front porch of the Diggers home bare once more.

Gina's arms wrapped tightly around Naruto, the shinobi grinning broadly as the pair reached their destination. Gina looked over the edge of the cliff they were perched on, a grin crossing her features as she looked back at Naruto. "Mount Rushmore?"

Naruto shrugged as he took Gina's hand, the shinobi sitting on top of Abraham Lincoln's head with a content sigh. "It reminds me of home." Patting his lap in invitation, Gina sat down in her boyfriend's lap, Naruto's arms wrapping around Gina's waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder. Gina closed her eyes slowly, her body relaxing as she leaned against Naruto's chest. Sighing deeply, Gina took one of Naruto's hands in her own before she started talking.

"I'm not mad at you. Not really anyways. Jaliera... well, she explained that you were trying to help her have a good time, after all her life up until now has been all about duty and ruling the people of Aebra." Naruto's lips gently kissed Gina's neck as he pulled the blonde girl closer. "I just... you've taken Brianna out on a romantic evening, Jaliera wasn't even a full part of our little group and you took a three day bender with her in Las Vegas, partying like there was no tomorrow. So I got a little jealous... ok, a lot jealous. I'm sorry." Naruto sighed as his arms held Gina tightly, the young woman sighing as she relaxed in the warm embrace.

"I'm sorry too, I didn't think about how you'd take it. But, I'm willing to make it up to you, after all I have a new technique that I think you'd love to see! And no one else knows I can do this yet!" Gina looked over her shoulder, the excited look Naruto was sending her way causing her to laugh loudly.

"Oh really? So tell me, what exactly is this technique of yours?" Naruto grinned as he motioned for Gina to stand, the shinobi rising to his feet and wrapping Gina in his arms once more.

"Now, close your eyes." Gina mock glared, but soon her eyes were closed with a put upon sigh. When Naruto didn't speak, Gina cracked open an eye open, a grinning Naruto staring back at her.

"So what is this... big.. oh wow..." Gina's voice trailed off as she looked into the night sky, realizing that moon seemed to be a lot bigger all of a sudden. Looking down, Gina's wide eyed gaze caused Naruto to laugh as the pair continued to ascend into the night sky.

"You're flying! But you're not using any of the gear we made for you!" Naruto smirked as the pair rose above the sparse clouds, the full moon shining down on the pair as they lazily spun through the cool air.

"I finally figured it out, I can use chakra to fly now. I also discovered a cool trick, check it out." Naruto placed a hand over top of Gina's, a glowing seal appearing briefly before it faded. Gina squealed as Naruto released the young woman, her arms clutching to her laughing boyfriend in panic.

"Naruto!" Naruto gently placed his hands on Gina's arms, his eyes focusing on the terrified girl that held onto him tightly.

"Do you trust me?" Gina nodded hesitantly, causing Naruto to grin as he slowly pulled Gina's arms from around his neck, his hands dropping to his side as Gina realized that she was hovering in the air beside him. Gina looked over at Naruto in wide eyed wonder, the shinobi grinning as he slowly flew around the hovering woman.

"It's a flight seal. It's charged by my chakra, it should last for an hour of sustained flight. The seal interacts with your nervous system, expelling the stored chakra from different parts of your body to control yourself. It even forms a rudimentary chakra network while it's active, but all it can do is direct your flight, no jutsus." Gina growled as she began smacking Naruto's chest ineffectually, Naruto grinning as he took the weak blows with a smile on his face.

"Jerk, you scared me half to death. This is so unfair, how do you expect me to ever be mad at you?" Naruto leaned in, a deep kiss silencing Gina as her arms wrapped around Naruto once more. Pulling away from the blonde, Gina began to raise her arms as she tried to figure out how to control her flight. Naruto's arms wrapped around Gina's waist once more, his soothing voice causing Gina to grin as she leaned against his chest once more.

"How about a flying lesson under the pale moonlight?"

Several hours later

Jaliera's cheek twitched gently as she felt a pair of lips giving her a peck on the cheek. Turning over, the young woman smiled tiredly as she observed Naruto getting ready for bed.

"Hey... how'd it go with Gina?" Jaliera laughed softly as Gina walked behind the shinobi, holding Naruto around the waist. "I'll take a guess that everything went fine. Well, I'll leave you two alone for tonight, just gimme a sec..." Jaliera trailed off as Gina jumped into the bed with her, the blonde genius holding onto the alien woman firmly.

"Nuh uh, you're not gong anywhere, sleeping with Naruto and which ever girls he's with is a necessary

part of being in his collective. And your comfy, your staying right there." Jaliera cocked an eyebrow at the young genius before looking towards Naruto.

"Collective?"

"Gina didn't like the term harem, so she settled on collective." Naruto slipped in under the covers, a smiling Gina climbing over the shinobi as she claimed his left arm as her pillow. Jaliera sighed softly as she laid her head down once more, her body molding against her new pillow.

"So, what did you two do out there?" Jaliera looked over at a giggling Gina, the action causing the young alien to frown before Naruto responded.

"It's a secret."

"Ugh, already keeping secrets from your girlfriend, should I be worried?."

"Oi, I'm a shinobi, it comes with the territory. Just be happy these are harmless secrets." Naruto flicked the furry woman's nose gently, an action the cause Jaliera's nose to scrunch up cutely. Glaring at Naruto weakly, Jaliera smirked before she playfully tried to bite Naruto's fingers. Jaliera wrapped an arm around a chuckling Naruto's neck, kissing the shinobi deeply, the action causing the pair to moan softly. Pulling back, Jaliera glanced over at Gina, the archeologist's eyes shining in mirth as she watched the pair beside her.

"You know what, I say we double team him, you with me?" Naruto's eyes widened for a moment before he was buried under a pair of giggling woman, the shinobi's minimal clothing flying across the room moments later.
