Troublesome plans
Naruto's glare was harsh as the teen who considered himself a king stared in abject surprise. "A being that doesn't exist?" he questioned softly as his eyes took on an even stronger glare. "You dare claim the mantle of a god?"
"I am what I am" Naruto stated neither confirming nor denying the senior's claim. "So who's the piece of shit I'm talking to?" he asked rudely causing the Aura around the teen to increase in intensity.
"He is, senior Miyakonojou Oudo." Medaka managed to say as she tried to push herself up from her position on the ground. "A member of the flask plan."
"That farce about creating a perfect human?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow as he regarded the teen in front of him. "Just a gathering of whack jobs more like it."
"Namikaze Naruto, the beast master, is it?" Oudo's companion muttered realizing who Naruto was. "I see your delusions of normalcy haven't ceased."
"Shut up shrimp." Naruto ordered disregarding what had been said to him. "This is between me and the arrogant punk in front of me." He shrugged his shoulders causing them to let out loud popping noises before staring Oudo in the eyes once more. "I may not like sticking my nose in weird situations, but when it comes to my friends I can't help myself." He stated before he suddenly appeared in front of Oudo fist cocked back. "So please, disappear."
The punch itself didn't look like it would do much, as everyone could plainly see it racing towards Oudo's face. "Heh you think your fist will actually hit me?" Oudo asked regaining his confidence seeing such a slow fist coming towards him. As such he took no measures to protect himself believing that his ability to control others would stop the fist just as usual. To Medaka and Zenkichi who did not understand Oudo's abilities expected Naruto's fist to simply knock the taller teen back, maybe even knock him over. So when Oudo was sent flying in a spiraling arc their expressions slack jawed as Oudo rolled along the dirt before colliding with the fountain and coming to a halt there.
"Oh quit acting, all I did was punch you in the jaw." Naruto called out "I know you can take stronger hits than that!"
True to his words Oudo slowly got to his feet spitting out a small amount of blood as he did so. "Tch what kind of inhuman strength do you have?" he muttered wiping his mouth. "Yukuhashi, we're leaving, my mood's been thoroughly ruined." He stated before turning to leave.
Naruto watched as the masked shorty let go of Zenkichi and ran after his boss. "You two alright?" he asked once he was sure the two had left the area. "You're a magnet for trouble; aren't you Kaichou?" he asked as the two got to their feet.
"Well I came to save Zenkichi, but I ended up getting saved instead." She mused as she took on a contemplative appearance. "I need to get stronger. So that was Miyakonojou Oudo. I didn't know such a disgraceful man was in this school. Calling me his wife, what a load of bull."
"I don't know, you seem kind of happy." Naruto noted as Zenkichi sighed tiredly.
"I was smiling?" she wondered looking over at the two.
"You were." Zenkichi stated with a nod of his head. "Like a Tsundere who finally got her man." He continued with an "I'm rather upset" face.
Naruto tilted his head to the side "Not sure I get it." He muttered scratching his head idly.
"You mean Tsundere?" Zenkichi asked glancing at Naruto in surprise. "You don't know what that means?"
"Nope, should I?" Naruto asked as a troubled look came across Zenkichi's face while Medaka simply smiled.
"It means someone who's not honest with their feelings. Like they say the opposite of what they think."
Medaka took that chance to step in. "It's like if I went…" she paused as she took a stern pose pointing at Zenkichi. "It's not like I did it for you or anything like that!" she shouted with a red face.
"Ah, so it's like that." Naruto muttered taking note mentally. "I don't really read manga or stuff like that." He heard them mutter something like 'Really?' "Anyways, are there any other things like that?" he asked looking at them,
"Well I don't really get why we're talking about this now, but okay I suppose it won't take too much time." Zenkichi stated being a typical teenaged boy he rather liked Manga and Anime. "Well let's list the ones I know out first." He muttered taking a thinking pose. "There's Dandere, Kuudere, Yandere if we're talking about things related to Tsundere." He was keenly aware of stares both Medaka and Naruto were giving him. "Dandere are characters who are usually emotionless, that eventually change to display their sweet, romantic, and loving soft side. Kuudere are normally cold and unassuming but later reveals a softer and kinder side. And a Yandere is a person who, is initially very loving, caring, and gentle to someone (or at least innocent) they really, truly like and care for a lot before their romantic devotion becomes mentally destructive in nature, often through violence and/or brutality."
"Should we be worried that you know these kinds of things?" Medaka wondered aloud causing Zenkichi to fall over as tears streamed down his face.
"Well, I suppose knowing the accepted terms to describe certain personality types would be useful." Naruto muttered softly not quite sure if he should be happy Zenkichi knew so much or pity the boy because he knew so much.
"You guys suck." Zenkichi muttered with a sulking face as he looked away from them.
"On a more serious note, I really do need to power up if I want to face Oudo-senpai myself." Medaka declared as the two of them stopped giving Zenkichi pitying stares.
"You mean like going into the mountains or something like that?" Zenkichi asked recovering from his depression.
"I was actually thinking about visiting Nii-sama." She declared causing Zenkichi to nearly fall over in surprise.
"Oh you have a brother?" Naruto questioned curiously. "Hm, I'm somewhat curious about how crazy your family members would be."
"You're going to meet him? And on your own volition?" Zenkichi nearly shouted causing Naruto to look between the two in confusion.
"That's why I was looking for you Zenkichi. Please come with me, there's no way in hell I want to meet him alone." She replied causing Naruto to blink in surprise as he idly began following them.
"Uh…is he really that bad?" he asked slowly suddenly unsure.
Zenkichi scratched his cheek "Well…he's…eccentric." He muttered as the trio walked towards the old school house.
When they entered the building they noticed a lone man standing before a window. "Hey thanks for coming. Make yourselves at home." He began looking up from something in his hands. "It's been about since we've seen each other, right? My beloved sister Medaka-chan." Naruto noticed the odd way Medaka tensed when she was addressed. "Oh? A new face, I don't recall seeing you before." The man said addressing Naruto.
"Namikaze Naruto, a friend of hers." He introduced himself simply. "I assume you know why we're here."
"Of course, because of my overflowing love for my Imouto, I already know what you want from me." He began turning to face them. "Don't worry, I'll return you to your heyday."
"Hey doesn't that mean you used to be even more freakish?" Naruto asked turning his attention to Medaka.
"That's rather rude of you Namikaze." She declared staring at him in what could only be interpreted as frustration. In response he shrugged his shoulders but made no comment.
"Rather…this takes stalking to entirely new heights." Naruto muttered seeing the various pictures, posters and figurines of Medaka around the room.
"These are merely the products of my love for my beloved sister." The man, Kurokami Maguro, stated as he welcomed them into his room. "Seriously now, you've known for a while that I was living in this 'Ghost Babel' and you're only now coming to speak to me?" he asked placing his book down as he placed his left hand on his hip while holding up his right. "Ever since we were kids, you never did respect me much. I just don't understand because I love you so much!" he declared in a creeper like tone causing Naruto to instinctively step in between the two siblings.
"Medaka-chan you need to smile." Zenkichi whispered to her seeing that his friend was frozen stiff with a look of disgust on her face.
"Oh my, you really do care for her don't you?" Maguro stated as he noticed Naruto's actions. "Did you even realize you stepped in between us?" he questioned causing Naruto to blink in surprise as he glanced at his feet.
"Hm…I suppose, maybe it's because I feel sorry for someone with such a creepy older brother." Naruto stated looking at Maguro deeming him as not a fighter.
Visibly swallowing her revulsion Medaka smiled and held up her hands near her face. "It's been a while since I've seen you Onii-sama!" she chirped "I really do feel bad for not coming to see you sooner. But how about coming home every now and then? Both mom and dad are worried about you." She stated in obvious fake enthusiasm.
"Mom? Dad?" her brother questioned as he walked up to them. "Who cares about those fools?" he shouted as he stepped around Naruto and embraced her. "So long as my only little sister is here with me I'm fine." He declared smiling as Medaka stiffened.
Apparently it made her snap as Medaka lashed out with her full force knocking her brother into the wall across the room. "Instantly! Medaka-chan went into Perses mode instantly!" Zenkichi shouted in shock as Medaka glanced at him while taking deep breaths. "Medaka-chan I understand your anger, but calm down! You came here to ask a favor remember?" Zenkichi reminded her with hurried whispers.
"It's not like I need something from you, you know." She declared pointing at her brother with small blushes on her face.
"Tsundere?" Naruto questioned Zenkichi as he folded his arms.
"If you don't grant my request I'll break all your bones!" she suddenly declared as an aura of anger and irritation surrounded her.
"Yandere…right?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I'm sorry for hitting you, so could you please listen to my request?"
"She finally just told him the truth, didn't she?" Naruto asked as Zenkichi just sighed tiredly
However, Maguro's voice reached them from the impact site. "I see…" he began as he sat up. "You've gotten weaker Medaka-chan." He declared startling her. "The volume of your muscles has lessened. This shows that you haven't been working out. The muscles you have now are less than half of what you had during your freshman year of middle school. I can see a bruise on your head, yet if you were in proper form, that wound would've healed within thirty minutes. When you threw that punch just now, you guarded the left side of your stomach, did you injure your ribs or something? Judging by your complexion you haven't gotten enough sleep. You've gotten taller, but you still weight the same. You haven't been getting the proper nutrition have you?" he shot off comments rapidly as Medaka merely frowned as she accepted his analysis. "I can understand that you've been busy since being elected student council president. But that doesn't mean you should neglect your self discipline."
"Impressive." Naruto stated while clapping softly. "You got all that from one hug and being punched in the face?" he asked in surprise.
"I should be the one saying that." Maguro stated staring at Naruto. "It only takes me a single glance at you to realize that your body is very different from a normal person." He stated causing Naruto to frown. "I can't see a trace of body fat on you, not to mention you didn't flinch when you stopped Medaka-chan's fist a while back. Even if she was weaker, there aren't many who can calmly stop an enraged Medaka-chan's punch with one hand."
"I grant you that one." Naruto stated unable to refute that point.
"In any case" Maguro stated turning his attention back onto his sister. "I said this earlier, although you've gotten weaker, you're still strong. There's no need for you to endure my training." He stated pocketing his hands.
"That's not true. Right now it takes all I have just to protect myself and my friends." She stated clenching her fists. "But I want to care for people I don't know and my enemies. If my abilities can't protect everything, then it's the same as me being powerless!" she declared causing Naruto to huff.
"You make it sound so simple." He muttered. "Well I met your brother as was my intention." He declared moving towards the door. "I feel like I'll be drawn into whatever you're going to do so I'll be close by should you need me, but I don't think I need to stay for your training." He smirked at them and made his way out of the building.
Naruto paused once he was a fair distance away from the building. "Now then…" he muttered pulling out an envelope. "I guess I'll go see what this guy has to say." He muttered before sniffing his clothing. "I guess I could go change or something first." He decided turning on his heels to head for home. "Hm…she should've already seen the note even if I did snatch it from her pockets." He mused as he walked away. "So I guess I'll see them on the roof."
At six in the morning Naruto was sitting on top of the clock tower mulling over recent events. "To think all I wanted was to live a normal carefree life." He muttered as he watched the sun rise. "Then you and those guys in the flask plan had to ruin it by showing your ugly mugs in front of my friends."
Miyakonojou Oudo would've snorted at the thought had he not held such a high opinion of himself. "Claim what you will, but even I will admit you are not some nameless peon."
"Oh thank you, I really needed to hear that." Naruto muttered, voice dripping with sarcasm. "If only you weren't as strong as you are, I could comfortably leave this to them." He muttered as he heard the hatch to the roof open up.
"You think that they are too weak to face me?"
"Disregarding the concept of winning and losing, I feel like something about them would change too drastically if I left it to them alone." Naruto stated as the two began to pull themselves up. "I am simply making sure that they don't lose their way."
"Do you plan to play the role of the guide then?" Oudo asked before turning to face Medaka. "It matters not." He stated "I'll overlook that poor outfit you have on because you arrived on time. However, bringing another guy with you is inexcusable. You were granted permission to have a date with only me, but it seems like you don't know what manners are." He stated in his arrogant tone of voice as he addressed Medaka.
"I didn't come up here as a girl." She stated with conviction. "13 Party's Miyakonojou Oudo, you're going to tell me everything you know about the flask plan!" she shouted with determination.
"What a strong willed woman." Oudo muttered with a small smile as if he was pleased. "But without manners we'll never reach that point. I thought I taught you yesterday what the rudeness of standing in my presence will bring you." He stated before his eyes opened as a sinister grin took form on his face. "So how about we start with you, kneeling before me!"
However unlike before the two remained standing though it looked as if it took some effort to do so. "Oh…you guys worked really hard last night didn't you?" Naruto called out catching their attention.
"How are you just sitting there so relaxed?" Zenkichi shouted at him angrily.
"Hm…I guess I'm just that much stronger than you?" he stated while sticking his tongue out while knuckling his head.
"That's not the reason is it you bastard!" Zenkichi shouted in irritation causing Naruto to laugh loudly.
"Not bad." Oudo muttered impressed. "You can actually stand up to my words. It looks like you went and prepared yourselves for this. Now then let's just see how much you did in one night. I'm going to say it for real this time." Then in a far deeper and commanding tone Oudo ordered "Prostrate."
However the two remained standing "HELL NO!" they shouted back causing Oudo to give them a little more attention.
Naruto instead of listening to Oudo ramble on about his own self decided to text message Mogana and Kouki. "Oi, it sounds like Medaka and Zenkichi are going to do something really stupid, maybe you should come to clock tower to join them." It said as he sighed before putting away his phone. Looking up all he saw was Oudo flying over the side of the building. "You know…if it only takes a minute for you guys to escalate something to the point of knocking someone off the roof…maybe you should see a counselor." He stated flatly causing Zenkichi to shout at him.
Peering over the side the three of them were treated to the sight of Oudo standing perpendicular to the wall. "That was a nice kick, Hitokichi, I couldn't even dodge it."
"Well I can't honestly say I expected them to be able to wall-walk." Naruto stated completely tuning out Oudo's rambling.
"Is this a result of the flask plan?" Medaka asked cautiously.
"Nah." Naruto stated now sitting on the side of the building. "Fairy simple stuff once you're used to it." He explained causing the three others around him to twitch as they stared at him as if he were some odd being from another dimension.
"No this is simply progress." Oudo stated closing his eyes. "Besides, the flask plan is a project with the goal of turning normals into abnormals. To those of us already abnormal it isn't necessary." He opened his eyes to stare at Medaka. "The 13 party is simply a group of guinea pigs in a lab. If you keep saying you were born for the sake of others, then you should happily lend a helping hand student council president Kurokami Medaka."
"While I may not show prudence in all things I do, I am not so foolish as to help out a plan I know nothing about." She declared
"Then how about this hypothetical question?" Oudo asked smirking at them. "If there was a drink that made you into a genius, would you drink it?" he asked
"I would not drink it." Zenkichi and Medaka both declared. As Naruto smiled seeing their resolve.
"As I expected. You two are the types that work for your achievements. But most of the people wouldn't choose that way. No, they can't choose that path." He explained
"I sort of get it…" Naruto stated placing his cheek on one of his hands. "Most people are incapable of dedicating themselves to something to achieve the grand goals that they dream of. And some just don't get results no matter how much hard work they put in." he stated while looking down on Oudo with a bored expression. "It leads to the mentality: Hard work doesn't bear fruit. Even if you try, you get nothing in return." He paused to look at Oudo. "Am I right?"
"More or less. For people like that, the flask plan is trying to make a 'genius drink'." The teen who thought himself a king stated.
"No side effects, price, hard work, or effort…what on earth do people hope to gain without actually trying? Have they no shame!?" Medaka shouted having heard what the two had said.
"I have a feeling I know where this is going." Naruto muttered as he got to his feet, which looked odd as he was still on the side of the building. "Shall we get ready Zenkichi?" he asked ignoring the passionate speech Medaka was giving.
"Ready for what?" Zenkichi asked distracted from Medaka's plan.
Simultaneously Medaka and Naruto spoke the exact same words. "Today, we'll destroy the flask plan!"
End
There you go I hope everyone liked it! See you next time!
