Chapter 1: A New Leaf
I do not own anything, Naruto and High school DxD rights are given to their respective owners, as the possible art is too.
You guys should know that this story would mostly focus on romantic and high school comedy since that's what Highschool DxD is for me. A fair warning is that I'm an old romantic and quite mischievous. I want you to know that the characters might and most likely will be oc since I want everything to my liking, and just throwing it out there in the case for those who don't understand, if you don't like it then don't read it. I came here to tell a tale for those who might like it, granted I will still be taking reviews but only positive ones and constructive criticism and not some bullshit.
*Ring*ring*
The sound of an alarm clock ringing filled the small room as a certain blond who was in covers groaned. "AAAHHH, Shut up!" He brought his hand down and smashed the alarm clock as if it was a normal occurrence. The room itself was a bit shabby and old-looking. The fact was further enhanced by the fact that dust was flying around everywhere as the blond threw off the covers that were on him.
He opened his eyes slowly as he stood up from the creaking bunk bed and opened the curtains to his right letting the ray of sunshine on the room. He stood at about six-one-foot tall, blond spiky ruffled hair with a hint of blood-red and orange highlights at some tips, he had a birthmark on his face that looked like three whiskers on each side, plump lips, and a foreign Yankee look.
He yawned when a door opened, presumably the bathroom's door since he could smell the fragrant shampoo and scent of mild perfume.
"You're finally awake, dobe." A subtle voice of a man behind him spoke.
He turned to look at the teen who was about the same age as him, the said teen had raven-colored hair, he had a pair of dark black eyes which were somehow lightened by the fact that he was wearing eyeglasses. He stood an inch or so shorter than the blond but was nearly noticeable, he seemed to be fixing his hair making it go down across his face, in other words, he was looking like a bookworm which is essentially a better term for 'nerd'.
"Ah fuck it, better get ready I guess." The blond stretched his arms as he scratched his neck whilst opening a brown antique cabinet that seemed like its handles were about to fall off, and grabbed a surprisingly clean white towel, and proceeded to head for the shower.
"You think? You smell like shit." The teen growled as the blond walked past him closely on purpose to which the blond just snickered a few chuckles.
Sighing, the raven-haired teen went on, fixed up his sleeve, and sat down at the west side of the small room on an old orange sofa that had a few burns and patches to it. It wasn't the best but for them this is home, rather, they had no choice but to call it home. Letting his back touch the springy sofa, he tried his best to relax, but every time he closes his eyes, reality hits him, as he questions everything that has happened so far, he voids still remembers how they had come to be in this situation. Everything is still vivid, the past has left on them a lasting impression.
He sighed. He could still remember the day that the old sage transported them to this new dimension.
"It is time to let you go." An old man with two horns was floating with black balls and in his hand was a staff. He had a sad look on his face as he looked at a certain blond and brunette, a few words that can be used to describe his face right now were, sadness, a fatherly look, and… shame. Much to his plight, this was all he could do for the boys.
The blond named Naruto was struck, but he understood what the sage meant, it was time for them to experience a new world, many things were unknown. Still, it was hard to accept the fact that just after they had died saving the village from Kaguya, they now needed to go to another dimension without having to even say their last farewells to their comrades.
The blond jinchuriki's face saddened and rushed over to the sage and hugged him while sobbing in which the sage shared the same sentiment as well. He never achieved his greatest dream but he fulfilled his promise to his god-father, to bring peace, from his promise to his god-father, to his comrades, to his enemies, and finally to himself. That was enough knowing that his efforts and sacrifice were not in vain.
Meanwhile, the raven-haired Uchiha watched the exchange but silently looked back on a trip to his memory lane, thinking about the things he had both accomplished and failed at. He had taken revenge, regretted his actions, took revenge again, left his comrades, betrayed his village, and he couldn't count how many times he had lost himself on this path of fear, wrath, and anguish. Was it time for him to move on? For a few times, in Sasuke's life, this would count as one of the times where he was confused. After all, those atrocious actions that he had taken, 'do I deserve a second chance?' He was in deep thought, but it was well hidden by his stoic expression.
"I…" The Uchiha spoke up gathering the attention of the two, one of which was in the same situation as him. "I don't want to." He looked up at them with the same expression as ever.
Naruto, getting over his tears for a moment, wiped it and looked at his friend, "W-what do you mean you don't want to?"
"I'm saying I don't want to have my second chance, I don't need it-"
"Yeah right, bullshit!" His words surprised both the sage and the dark-haired fellow, "I can see it in your eyes, teme! Don't need it? I've never seen you so stupid before, don't you want to repent, aren't you ashamed of yourself!?" The blond was heaving heavily, he was tired from the fight, so was the Uchiha.
"I know! I'm saying that what if I just cause more pain, those people who are living there peacefully-" The Uchiha was once again cut off by the whiskered blond.
"Then fucking stop yourself from doing just that, what kind of bullshit logic is that anyway? Hell, I'll help you do it." Naruto went over the Uchiha and placed a hand over his shoulder. "We got each other now." Naruto gave Sasuke the look.
Sasuke pondered over what Naruto said for a moment, 'Each other huh.' The Uchiha looked back at him, "Thank you." The blond flashed one of his signature grins as he heard the statement only to grumble on what comes after. "I guess I have to make sure you don't mess up again."
"Yeah? I'm only there to make sure that you don't get that 50 feet pole any further in your ass, it's stuck deep as it is!" The blond retorted and sneered, proud of his comeback but to which the Uchiha paid no attention.
Sasuke let out an audible sigh, "Who knows what kind of trouble you'll get into within seconds of your new life," He brought a hand over his hair and brushed it backward, giving him a clear and smug look over his face, "What are you without me, of course, you need me, you didn't need to plead." That bishoujo look on Sasuke made Naruto bite his shirt as a vein was shown on his forehead.
The blond was about to retort when they caught the sage coming close, with a sad smile, and on his eyes, tears were daring to fall, He brought them for a hug as he put an arm on each of their shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze. "If only we had more time," He rose in the sky as a bright light rose over them making them close their eyes, he spoke in a fatherly voice, "You will experience ignorance, hardships, challenges, some of which you have never seen before, some of which that are worse than you did before, but I pray that you get past them, experience the life that you deserve, the kind of life that you fought for, 'peaceful'... My sons, i-it is time to let y-you go." He said the last few words with but a few snobs, cracking in his voice, all to the teens are not seen except heard as a bright light engulfed them.
"Farewell."
The sound of Naruto snapping his fingers right in front of Sasuke brought his head out of the clouds. 'Was I daydreaming?' He sighed inwardly.
"What are you so serious for, teme?" It was a question but the way that the blond had said it was not one. He smiled at him, he knew what was the reason, he was just glad that even though they lost themselves, he's not in the path of revenge anymore.
"Nothing, nothing much, just reminiscing." The raven-haired Uchiha chuckled, 'I feel so pathetic lately, maybe it has to do with the fact that I have to play the part.'
No matter how the Uchiha tried to hide from him, Naruto knew better, after all staying with him for a little over a week says a lot about the man. Right now he stares at him sitting down on the couch slouching with his hands clasped together with a slight smile, but one that does not necessarily mean that he is happy, but one that says that he is strong enough to smile whilst weathering the storm that has lasted since the day that they came here.
Every silence that comes forth to them reminds them that they only have each other now, but that's more than enough to get past this, at least until they feel that the world is ready for them, until they find their purpose, yes, a true purpose, one worth fighting for. Not knowing that they wouldn't need to wait as it would come to them not long in the future.
With a small smile, the Uchiha stood up, walking towards the blond who was fixing himself, they both looked in a mirror enough for both of them to fit its reflection, it had some scratches and was tainted with small marks that said profanities but to which the two paid no attention to. They started their reflection both of them wearing the same iconic Japanese uniforms consisting of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.
It looked alright, but they both sighed as Sasuke looked at Naruto with a knowing look, the blond looked nervous, something rare for an Uzumaki.
"Do we really have to do this?" The blond spoke up with an exasperated tone. Sasuke merely nodded dismissing the fact that this has been asked by the blond for the last few weeks they've been here and over again. 'Seriously? Why do we even do this again?' Naruto slouched and turned to Sasuke and opened his mouth but was shut up by the Uchiha who immediately started.
"And before you ask, yes, this is all to keep a low profile and it's only fit we take such lengths to do so." Being in this dimension for only two weeks, it was already a given that they didn't know everything that worked around here. That fact was also an add-on reason aside for keeping a low profile that justifies staying in a quite shabby apartment.
Naruto released a long sigh, 'Why the hell is he so uptight?' he complained inwardly but nonetheless complied. "Fine…" Naruto grumbled something about the Uchiha comparing him to soggy ramen. Don't ask why.
Seriously don't.
Sasuke nodded and stared at the mirror whilst Naruto grabbed a pair of eyeglasses himself, fixed his hair in a very… not Naruto type of way, meaning he didn't look like the cheery blond from before, his hair went down forcing his left eye to get covered by it, he brought his index fingers to both sides of his mouth, he raised them trying to make a smile but ultimately failed, "Ugh", Naruto grunted in frustration, Sasuke nodded in satisfaction, now he looks like a brooding outcast like him.
"Don't forget your hood, dobe." The tone of his voice was sickly and weak, the aura that they now possess seems grim. But aside from that, the reason why he told Naruto to wear his hood was that oddly enough, even with the glasses on, he somehow still looked attractive, and an overreacting Sasuke does not allow any lee-way for attention, besides even if it did attract some females, he doubted that Naruto would even notice.
"Got it," Naruto replied quickly wearing his jacket, which helped since it was that time of the year, where sakura petals fall and go with the flow, the breeze that blew was cool which validated the fact that he wears a hood.
The two third-years looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh, they looked the opposite of themselves, the last time they checked Naruto was too bright and Sasuke's looks were a sight for sore eyes. Anyways, with renewed vigor, they went about their way to school-leaving immediately changing their demeanor as soon as they closed the door. They walked through the streets filled with malice, it was the part of the town that was always with high crime rates. Naruto had wanted to move where they stay but he knew they couldn't do that for a few reasons, two being that there was someone special to them there, and the fact that they simply didn't have enough income.
Xx[One in mind, heart, and soul]xX
They stood before a building looking slightly like Cambridge university, except that it had a rather subtle look to it and was large enough to be considered a mid-sized kingdom with a fortress touch. This was Kuoh Academy, a school that was turned co-ed just a few years ago, which the two teens found quite convenient and immediately joined in case of cops having to discipline them again, and without a doubt, they wouldn't want to go cleaning a few sewers again. Regardless, its population was mostly female and the male population only composed about 15% of it. Two of the 'lucky' males were the said teens.
Being a senior to many, one would expect them to be treated with respect by their respective peers, but by the sage, they weren't, probably by the fact they looked like outcasts and more so, gloomy, not to mention that they were new to this academy so they thought that the teens were easy.
They would ignore them and push them when they had the chance. The teachers wouldn't even try to sympathize with them. They were known as orphans for goodness' sake but I guess that doesn't change the fact that they were still 'easy,' they would scream profanities at them and one would guess that they were pretty smart as nerds but that wasn't the case, the situation wasn't controlled, basically, they were treated like shit, but compared to what they had gone through before this came to be, this is one sweet walk in the park. Then again it also doesn't change the fact that it sucks.
Walking in the halls of Kuoh towards their classroom, no one noticed their presence, not because it was concealed, but because they were simply not worthy of recognition. There were some though that took notice of their presence, only for them to gossip about them. To their eyes the two of them were weak links of the school, they wonder how they got to a prestigious school, saying that they probably threatened the faculty. In a way, this world was worse than the previous one.
And yes, they were the social outcasts of the school, known to orphaned since birth, nerdy-looking, which didn't help as some might like nerds but their grades proved otherwise, they were the dead last there, athletic capability below average, all of this results and brought forth uncanny rumors to school that was not worth repeating. They didn't want to do this, but for a certain reason, they can't and so to they played this act, called, "you see me but you don't, you know me but you don't."
They nonchalantly walked past them their heads still hung down, slouching. Naruto took a seat at the back of the class near the window whilst the Uchiha sat on his right, the blond minding his own business continued with the facade and tried to take a nap whilst the said Uchiha was reluctant to do the same. Going back, Naruto and Sasuke were never fans of studying, they had that in common but for completely different reasons, Naruto was just lazy and Sasuke simply didn't bother since back then he was a genius, but all of this could change due to the sitting arrangements.
If Naruto knew one thing, it's that the physical appearance of humans was a very crucial factor based on your social life, the looks pretty much determine if you're going to have fun at school or not, and even Sasuke couldn't deny it, after all, he experienced the effects of it, only the positive ones, not implying that Naruto didn't have the looks, both of them were built, muscular beyond imagination, as for Naruto, his face was, unfortunately, not appreciated in Konoha, but women outside of Konoha, well let's just say one look from his cerulean eyes and a flash of his signature grin and they would be ready to take off their pants for him. Well all that, just adds up to the present, they look like shit and were treated as such, but the opposite is also true.
If you look good, you'd be treated good, if you look like a pervert, and you are, you'll be treated like one.
Xx[One in mind, heart, and soul]xX
Somewhere in Kuoh, a brown-haired perve- student, who was reading a book that had a bunny looking sideways wearing a suite icon, sneezed, 'Damn it, who is it now?'
Xx[One in mind, heart, and soul]xX
If you look like a prince, you'll be treated as one, if you look like a goddess, you'll be treated as one, and yes, there were people here in this academy who looked damn beautiful even compared to celestial beings. And as if on cue the reason for the plausible change in the academic situation of the two teens were revealed, the door opened slightly but all it took was some strands of black hair with together with a slight hint of an orange substance to change the attention of the students from gossiping about them to screaming in praise of the beauty that entered the room.
This was the first time that they have seen her due to the fact that she was not able to attend classes for the past 2 days, but when they came here they already heard the people crying, disappointed that the said woman wasn't with them, they were sure that they had heard that one more woman was with her that caused the disappointment to grow more. So now only they had seen her and she lives up to their expectations if not more, they had never seen a woman beautiful as she is since… never, and that whole revelation left them wide-eyed.
She had a stunning figure, she wore the same uniform as them only it was for female and that the fact that the clothing was hugging tightly her curvaceous body, damn perfect hourglass figure, her eyes were a mix of a black and a slight hint of purple, they seemed to glitter in every way possible, her lips were slightly parted showing a slight curve upwards, it looked so soft, plushy, pink, enchanting. Her face was just the right amount of pale, her very presence screams divinity, however, her aura was strange, her chakra signature was non-existent but still, something about her was off, and Naruto and Sasuke, still wide-eyed gawked at her but once again for completely different reasons.
These two just can't get anything in common, can they?
Naruto stared at her, she was everything but ugly, her bust was… impressive, rivaling that of Tsunade, the Godaime herself, he has seen many beautiful women, to name a few Anko, Hinata, and… Sakura? Doesn't matter the point is they only come close to her beauty, yes, Naruto was looking at her body but not in a bad way but in awe, but that was not what caught his attention, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, elegant, straight, her hair reaching to her waist, but that still not what caught his attention, it was the… ribbon. It was the ribbon, why? It could be highlighting her neck by pushing strands of hair aside, still no. It was the color, orange, yes it was because of the color of the ribbon, it had a hint of orange, oh how Naruto missed wearing orange. If he brought any favorites in this world, it would be his like for orange and his infatuation with, and I quote, 'food of the gods,' ramen itself.
Sasuke looked over Naruto, who had a silly expression on his face, 'did he get seduced by just looking at her?' In a way, Sasuke was a bit taken back, from what he knows Naruto never knew what seductiveness is, but that's the least of his attention for now. The Uchiha found himself looking at the said woman, he did not look over her body, her legs, he did not even hear the praises that were booming through the classroom, all he looked at was her lips, they were smiling, it was… "Beautiful…" The Uchiha muttered accidentally, still staring at her, he felt excited not knowing why, but still, her smile was all that went through his head.
As she got close, Naruto was snap out of his gaze by the student in front, she screamed so loud, it reminded him of a pink banshee all he could hear was this.
"Akeno-sama!"
"Make way you idiots! Your blocking Akeno-sama's way!"
"What do you mean loser, you're blocking her way!"
A girl moaned, "Please notice me senpai!"
And as if staged, all of them screamed at the same time, "AKENO-SAMA!"
Naruto sweatdropped, as it strangely reminded him of Sasuke when they were still in the academy, speaking of the Uchiha, what is he doing in the midst of all this? Curious Naruto looked at Sasuke who still had the same stoic expression from before, looking at something, he tried to wave at his face to break him out of his state to which it did nothing, 'What is he staring at?' Naruto traced his eyes and found them on the lips of the seductress, who was by now still smiling but standing close to them, then he realized that the empty sit beside Sasuke was hers, immediately, everyone was shouting profanities at him and Sasuke as they realized that Uchiha was the one the woman who was treated like a goddess was going to be sitting next to.
"YOUUUUU! Pervert!" What, what the hell did he do?
"HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT AKENO-SAMA WITH THOSE LECHEROUS EYES!"
"KILL HIM!"
They were rushing at them and Naruto was panicking but Sasuke was still staring at her smile, he was worried but all it took was a giggle from the girl named Akeno and they were smiling in pleasure, seemingly having forgotten the fact that Sasuke was still sitting to their goddess.
"Ufufufu, Ara ara~ it would seem that I'll be sitting next to you this year.~" Her voice was subtle and sultry as she looked at Sasuke who was staring at her lips, her smile but his own was disappearing as he stared at it more, it brought him a sense of familiarity, the smile, up close, it looked so… fake. Strangely, that hurt him but only a mild short feeling that was brushed away after he thought of her smile, needless to say, he was… disappointed. She was just like those fools who faked everything just to make sure, everyone was happy, she was just like… Naruto. That left a lingering flavor in his mouth, it made him feel like he was responsible, maybe since Naruto experienced this and he felt bad for not being there for him during those times…
He broke out of his daze as he looked at her, it took time for him to register what was going on, before saying this, "Hn" and chaos filled the room. The students were back at it.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, "Oi, what do you think you're doing teme!? You're the one who said to keep a low profile and now look at this!" He gestured to the students screaming and fuming, but Sasuke never took his eyes off the girls. She in return was dumbfounded, someone had ignored her, and it was none other than one of the boys her queen asked her to observe, it was honestly a blow to her pride, but nevermind that, 'it would seem that this year would be interesting, ufufufu' she giggled inwardly as a genuine, but… sadistic grin came on her face.
Sasuke was relieved that she at least showed amusement, but he didn't like it that the smile was directed towards him, for all he knows that meant trouble, he felt guilty and like he was going to get 'punished,' he shivered at the thought though he would not show it. Akeno sat gracefully in the middle of the chaos as she flicked her hair and Sasuke could swear he could see faint dust of pink on her cheek. In the midst of all this, Sasuke didn't know one thing, 'What was her name again?' due to his intense focus on her lips, he could not make out what they were saying if they did say the name of the said lady.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BITCH!?"
"LOOK AT THE NERVE OF THIS DUDE!"
"YOU'RE SO DEAD!"
"LET ME AT HIM!"
"FUCKING EMO, BOW DOWN TO YOUR GODDESS!"
"THIS TRANSFER STUDENT HAS SOME GUTS!"
Amid all this one, the student in front of Naruto stood up, "Guys, calm down, they just came here recently, don't be so mean to them." The guy who stood up was about 5 foot 9 and he had a shade of brown mixed with black hair, he had an average build, but I guess that was good enough for them normals. The shouting immediately stopped, they all looked nervous, it would seem that the guy holds some sort of authority, 'he seemed kind' Naruto thought, "Don't forget this blond douche brooding with him too! HAHAHA!" 'I take that back a hundredfold, this dude's shit'
The laughing immediately got louder as he spoke to Akeno, "Why don't you join me here ojou-sama?" He gestured to the guy next to him to leave and so he did, "I'll be gentle~"
After he said that, the whole class grew nervous, they weren't sure whether to side with the son of the director of the school or one of the great and respected Onee-sama's of the school. It was tense, Akeno was just smiling but Sasuke scowled a bit as he hung his head, he could tell the smile was fake again, and it didn't need a genius to know that she was disgusted with the way the douche acted, Naruto stared at the dude with… expressionless eyes, as he whispered to Sasuke, "Alright, that's it, we're done with this filth, tomorrow no more acting, I'm pranking this kid so hard, he'll be traumatized."
And with that the tension was cut by the professor entering the room, he sounded lazy, "Yo, sorry I'm late, there was an old lady crossing the-"
And the same douche spoke up, "Street, so you went to help her, but then she was a hard time carrying her things, so you walked her to the nearest bus stop." Whilst they were reminded by Kakashi, the teacher didn't appreciate it, and the scowl on his face showed it.
He sighed, there was nothing he could do against the son of the director, Naruto wondered why was nobody was doing anything when this dude was being a huge asshole, "Alright, open your textbooks on page…" and that was all Naruto heard before he fell into the void…
….
Well, that was the plan but he felt a gentle hand make its way to his ear, caressing it before pinching it, "AHHH" the whole class fell quiet and he chuckled nervously, "ehehe, sorry?" The teacher furrowed his brows at him. Getting his shit into the act, he stared at Sasuke as he proceeded to frown at him, "What the hell was that for teme!?" He whispered in a screaming tone.
Sasuke merely looked at him, and as Naruto looked closer it would seem that the Uchiha's ear was also tinted with red, "Not me," as he rubbed his temples before smacking them.
"Then who the fu-" He was about to finish before he saw the grin on the girl, Akeno's face, 'oh shit' and the girl looked at him as he pointed towards the board, "Listen well, Uzumaki-san.~" His luck was off. He didn't need anybody to tell him what to do, but he had a feeling that this girl is stronger and freaky than she looks.
And with that Naruto and Sasuke looked at Akeno with the same thought, 'A devil in disguise,' they had no idea how right they were.
Xx[One in mind, heart, and soul]xX
*Ting...tong..ting...tong* (Short note, I laughed hard while trying to make out this sound)
The school bell rang signaling the end of classes, "Alright, don't forget to bring your P.E uniform tomorrow, we're having a fitness test." the teacher left his final remarks for the day before closing his book and headed for the door. Immediately the whole class started closing their bags, standing up, chatting, and left in groups, until there were only three students left in the room, and it was none other than the two shinobi and a pretty goddess.
Naruto stretched as he left a low grunt, he whispered to Sasuke, "My gosh that was exhausting, I rather not do that again." The Uzumaki was referring to the times where Akeno pinched them multiple times for almost falling asleep in class, they were afraid to retort at her since everybody was staring daggers at them, and because of her status in class that they found out before they even saw her enter class.
"I agree, we must find a way to get out of this mess," The Uchiha was not fond of their newfound situation either, whilst he felt the girl is interesting, but if this was the price of knowing more about her, then no need.
"Yes, we should try to see if anyone is willing to change seats with us, just not the douche here in front." He hated the dude's guts, and he's so pranking him tomorrow.
"Judging by the fact that they were all treating her like a princess, I doubt anybody would refuse the offer and I think the douche would just use his authority as who knows what or whatever to just switch with them."
"Nah, I don't think so, think about they treated her like a goddess, and there's no way they would just let that happen."
"Ah, for once I agree with you dobe." They both nodded twice at the same time until they both jumped out of their chairs when they heard someone behind them.
"I'm still here you know~" While they only heard the voice recently, they would never be able to forget it.
"Ahaha, how much did you hear?" Naruto chuckled nervously as she saw her smile grew wider, and he didn't like that one bit.
The two males faced each other as the Uchiha spoke, "It would seem she heard all of it, let's retreat for now." Naruto merely nodded as they both found their way to the door ignoring Akeno who seemed to love every second of their conversation, they were truly like siblings and much more like social outcasts, although she had felt an intense blow to her pride when they did not even call her by her name, oblivious to the fact that only the blond knew it and Naruto could care less for formalities.
Xx[One in mind, heart, and soul]xX
A scent of savory broth filled the streets of a small town. The day had almost come to an end, the yellow skies with a slight hue of orange continued to darken. Naruto and Sasuke could be seen walking down the street.
"Oh yes, I could get used to this," Naruto let out a silly grin as his mouth watered. Sasuke remained his persona and nodded.
"Let's pick up the pace," The Uchiha said, they can't let their new grandma doing their new job on her own. Running they soon reached a small stand that seemed to only be an apartment away from their place.
Naruto immediately went inside the sound of the chimes alerting the customers, immediately they rushed through them and went to a room that states 'staff only.' It would seem that our protagonists turned out to be part-timers at this small ramen stand.
They were met by a brown-haired grandma as her grin grew mischievously at the sight of the two, her name was Ichinose Hasegawa.
When Naruto and Sasuke fell into this world, they started walking about and exploring this new world, needless to say, they were amazed and even alarmed by the eyes that fell on them, mostly women, what could you do when their pectoral muscles and some of their abdominal defined muscles were shown off just like that.
Going back, she was the first one to see Naruto and Sasuke wandering around town in their normal outfit, this alerted a lot of them, civilians, so she decided to be the good samaritan and ask them what they were doing dressing up like that. In response, Naruto said that 'her' outfit was strange while Sasuke took the proper way to go about it and asked if it was normal for them to dress like that, obviously referring to the people outside. She immediately knew that these two were not from here, but not in the sense that she thought, giving some thought about it, they seemed oblivious to everything, her theory was right when she showed them a phone and as soon as it switched on, Naruto and Sasuke got their guards up and started asking her what do you want from them.
Grinning, she went forward as the teens took a step backward, "You're not from around here, are you now boys?" the boys grew alarmed.
"And what makes you think of that?" Naruto decided to be smart and speak up only for Sasuke to facepalm.
"Well judging by the fact that you have some sort of sword strapped onto your back," referring to the Uchiha, "And that ridiculous fashion sense, it's bad enough you two are wearing this cosplay costume, but look at that horrendous color combination." She sighed as she teased the two boys.
"And what would a grandma know about fashion, also, I'll have you know that orange is the best," the Uzumaki referring to his battered jumpsuit.
"Really? You look like you were attacked and battered in the dirt." She said.
"Alright you-" The Uzumaki had something to say to the old lady only to be cut off by Sasuke covering his mouth, "Mmph"
"Yes we're from the mountains, we're lost, unfortunately…" As Sasuke tried to make a cover-up for the two of them, you could make out sounds of Naruto struggling to talk with Sasuke's hand on it in the background. I don't know why he couldn't just take his hand away, but Sasuke was just resisting all the saliva that went on his hand, this went on about a few seconds before Naruto finally got tired of getting ignored and bit the Uchiha's hand.
"AHH! Bastard!" The Uchiha growled in pain as he gave the Uzumaki a good smack to the head making the blonde bend his head a bit.
"Serves you right, asshole." Grinning the Uzumaki stared at the grandma who seemed to be in a thinking position with her hand raised and finger on her chin.
After a few moments of thinking about what the ravenette just said, she replied, "So you're saying that you came here from the mountains, more specifically you belong to clans of people, you so you're the Uzumaki?" She said pointing at the whiskered blond.
The blond just replied by showing a feral grin and thumbs up whilst saying in his cheery voice, "That's right, the almighty Naruto Uzuma-"
"So you're also the one who was said to have no luck with the ladies in your place?" She cut him off with another question.
The blond could have his eye twitch as he agreed, "Y-yes but I would have you kno-" She cut him off again this time with a finger on his mouth, the Uzumaki looked at the Uchiha, the glare was sending the ravenette the message, 'the hell are you talking about here?' or maybe 'mind explaining this deepshit?' but all the Uchiha did was shrug his shoulders and gave him the look that said, 'roll with it.' And before Naruto could respond with his glare, the grandma once cut him off again to which he faced her slowly with an annoyed smile.
"You're also the one who got embarrassed in front of the whole school?"
"Y-yes but-"
"The one who got pierced by his sensei to the ass?" A vein officially showed on his face.
"Well yes but-"
"The same person who rampaged because of a girl?"
"Well, not really but I have a good reason why-"
"The one who couldn't even make out that the same girl had feelings for him, that dense blonde."
"What are you talking about, Hinata never liked me." He said in an incredulous tone.
"Damn so he is dense, okay, that's enough proof, so basically you guys were trained heirs to each of their respective clans, but then the clans fought forcing you to leave and ended up here on your way without knowing anything about what life in the city is like?" She said as she brought her hand down and started fumbling towards the wall.
The Uzumaki heard the abridged version and was visually pissed, "WHAT THE HELL!? Couldn't you just have started with that!? What was the reason for getting me riled up for, like are you messing with me, hm Uchiha?" The last part glaring at Sasuke.
"I simply used you as proof, although that seems like an interesting perspective." The Uchiha looked at him in an amused manner he hasn't lost his touch, before suddenly turning stoic once more and responding to the old woman's question. "Yes, we would appreciate it if you could tell us some information about this place." Sasuke looking out the dusty window only to see nothing but small run-down buildings.
"HAHAHA, well you'll only find so much here, judging from the fact that you just came here, I'm assuming you don't have any way to earn some cash, yes?" The two teens slowly nodded. "Why don't you try to settle down first, I'll help you although I do suggest that you go to school first that way you won't be reprimanded by the cops all the time, I'll help you in the meantime." The old lady kept talking as she finally stopped her fumbling earlier and flipped a switch which then illuminated the room with light, leaving the two teens wide-eyed, one because she was doing this for them, two teenage rascals who she only met today, scratch that, they only met a few minutes ago, second, what the hell was that light?
"Excuse me, did I miss something? I mean why the hell are you willingly helping two teens you just met. It's not as if we could give you anything, like what you said, we don't have money." Naruto said leaving the Uchiha wide-eyed, for once he actually understood the elephant in the room, but then again, Sasuke liked to think that everything good that happened to Naruto was because of him, that being said he was thinking, 'Hn, I'm rubbing off on him.' In a way, the Uchiha seemed to be somewhat dense as well.
"Hm, true true, everything you said was right except one thing." She said as she pursed her lips in a funny manner which once again raised the brows of the two.
Naruto's curiosity got the better of him even though his instincts were telling him that it was a bad idea to ask, "And pray-tell what is it?"
"You can give me something, you have one thing rare these days one that I desperately need." She finished with a glint in her eyes as she started smirking mischievously. That's bad news for the teens as no one dared to speak a word to the old woman for a few seconds until Sasuke decided to take one for the team and ask.
"And that is?" The Uchiha was starting to get disturbed by the fact that the old lady was coming closer to them, as she took steps forward, they took the same amount backward until they hit the wall and still the lady wasn't stopping, Naruto was accidentally stumbling and so was Sasue but still kept his stoic expression.
"You… both of you," She said as she got in between the two boys and suddenly grabbed their… asses and gave them quite the squeeze, "have these. The body, you can service me~" She said trying to sound seductive, as she drove her hands over Naruto and Sasuke's body even more. The two boys had just got out of the sudden stupor and showed very… very horrified expressions.
Naruto had to mentally slap himself and lightly pushed the lustful grandma aside and chuckled nervously with his voice trembling a bit, "I t-think we should just leave," he turned to the old wooden door from which they entered and to which Naruto now hopes to exit as he looked at the Uchiha who just had his eyes wide-open, not wavering even for a second as he stared at the old lady who made him this way. He was swearing with his eyes, that much was sure. Naruto tried to pry him and move him but the Uchiha wouldn't budge as he stood tall, still staring at the woman wide-eyed, "T-teme, I think w-we should go now, hehe," Chuckling nervously, Naruto was now using his strength to bring forth the Uchiha, "I. am. Sasuke. Uchiha." The Uzumaki continued to try despite not yielding many results, and to make it worse the grandma was now walking towards them, each clack of her shoes was making the Uzumaki panic. "Do. Not. Treat. Me. Lightly." Sasuke was now even wide-eyed than before, if he was swearing earlier, now he was killing the old lady with his eyes as the said woman was taking her gentle steps forward. "You. Shall. Not. Defile. Me." Speaking in the same tone as before although one could see, that up close, he was beginning to waver.
The grandma was now a step away from the two boys, Naruto gave up and closed his eyes tight as he sat down in a fetal position, 'Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIIITT! What the fuck does she want!?' Said Uzumaki was now looking up but to his surprise and horror, the Uchiha was trying to kill the grandma this time, "Oi! Hold yourself damned teme!"
Sasuke paid no mind to Naruto as he used his left hand to grab the wrist of his right as he applied chakra to it, then lightning began to spark off his arms as it danced continuously creating a focal point and drove it to the grandma's chest in panic.
…
Once again, something had to go mess their fate, nothing happened, lightning never came, hell his charka was never felt in the first place, which caused the Uchiha's eyes to narrow, as he looked at the grandma who he was glad he didn't accidentally kill, can't get in trouble for the first time in being here, but he was angry and it clouded his mind to make arguable decisions for a moment which caused him to release it to the poor old- no scratch that, she ain't a no poor lady, she was trying to defile them or who knows what. "Give me back my chakra…"
'What.' what do you mean by that, he tried channeling power to his veins to no avail, and now only he realized he hasn't heard an annoying, deep but comforting voice in the back of his head, 'Kurama?' he tried speaking through his mind, 'H-hey I'm not joking, where are you?' ...still no answer. 'KURAMA, ANSWER ME!' By this time Naruto was hyperventilating, too many things were happening right now, he couldn't keep track of it all.
"What? What the hell is a chakra?" The old woman among the two was dumbfounded, she was just having fun teasing them, then suddenly this guy released killing intent while the blonde boy was looking quite pale as if a horrible revelation had struck him.
The Uchiha took a step forward in hopes to threaten the shorter lady, "Woah, easy there child, I don't know what's this chakra thing even more so I didn't steal anything from any of view and like again I just want your service nothing more."
"Oh yeah what kind of service are we talking about here, I won't sign up for anything vile and disgracious." He said with mild venom, "Cause last time I checked my virginity was getting stolen with only you looking at me." The Uchiha fired with him pulling Naruto up," Stand up dobe." Grunting as he pulled Naruto using his arms.
"Sasuke, Kurama he's-"
"I know, but we can't stop here, this lady she's looking at us hungrily," The Uchiha said as the blonde turned to the lady and sure enough, the Uchiha was… wrong.
The woman laughed, grabbing the two teens' attention, "Defile you?" She wheezed.
"Yes, you think I didn't know that crazed look of yours." The Uchiha still on guard while Naruto watched the scene play out, weird, the blonde was the one skimming to get away earlier but now his instincts were not there anymore if anything her presence felt warm.
"Heavens no, I simply wanted your service as waiters."
They paused for a moment, Sasuke's stoic look did nothing to hide his shock because of his eyes, "Wait, so your not going to force me to show my body to you?"
"Not at all, no."
"You're not going to ask me to strip right now and massage you?"
"Not strip but massage but maybe occasionally, wait why are you so specific?" She said with mild confusion, it was as if he had experienced these things beforehand,
"Nothing, nothing, so uhhh, we agree then, it's a deal." The Uchiha was dumbfounded but agreed. 'Damn, snake sannin.' that was in his mind and for obvious reasons.
"Sooooo how exactly do we do this?" The blond broke the awkwardness and just tried to get this over now, the sun was getting real low, and their future or situation was not certain yet.
The woman thought about something for a second before, looking at them, with yet an amused looked, "You see, I put up a restaurant months ago and it has not been doing so well, it's also because I'm the only one who's there, sometimes my niece comes once in a while but otherwise it's just me, so I'm asking for you to help me, you know scratch my ass I scratch yours."
The blonde's eyes narrowed a bit, "I'm not sure that's how it goes, isn't it supposed to be-"
"Big deal," she said sarcastically, "anyways just think about it for a second, free house, free school, and you earn some moolah too."
The two teens looked at each other with the ravenette speaking first, "I think we should accept it, it's our only chance to know more about this world, besides how hard can it be, we just have to serve customers food and that's it, honestly were getting the upper hand here so let's just get on with it, that's the least of our problems right now." The Uchiha referring to their sudden loss of chakra.
"I know but don't you think we should think about this more-"
"Hey, kids!" The old woman got tired of waiting, it would seem that she was a bit sleepy as she released a yawn while talking, "Come on, I need to take my medications soon, so are you going to help me cook ramen or-"
"COMING!" As Naruto quickly turned his head and went over to the said woman escorting her out of the dusty building.
…
In a small stand, there were laughs, and cheers as night came, Naruto and Sasuke were dressed in casual clothes, the Uzumaki wearing a sleeveless orange shirt to which he was very happy with, and the Uchiha taking a more modest approach, wearing a buttoned-up shirt which was only fitting since Naruto's job was to help with the cooking and occasional serving whilst Sasuke focused on taking orders and serving itself.
Finally, they could experience a bit of what's life here in this place, needless to say, they were happy, the customers happy, the female ones? Even more so. They took off their charade making everywhere they walkthrough filled with murmurs about them to which is the reason why the small restaurant was filled with customers, most of the population inside was female but some looked like regulars, especially a man named Kise, apparently the man came to this shop when it first opened and has been coming here ever since. He looked close with Ichinose as she gave him extra service.
The place was filled with positivity, people that looked like thugs were peaceful although they did try to threaten Ichinose to giving them free meals, as soon as they showed their smug faces, all the other customers stood up and glared at them and sure enough, it was enough to silence them. There were also some drunk fathers but instead, they came with their family, students who're finishing up their homework, kids playing around, the restaurant welcomed everybody and treated them equally.
The sun fell and night came about, there were but a few customers left, slowly they each started to leave, with the old man Kise and Ichinose left together with Naruto and Sasuke whose muscles were popping off, the blonde was done cooking and it was time clean up so he was mopping the floor by hand, kneeling down whilst going across the room, whilst Sasuke decided to stay modest and started washing off the plates whilst leaving leftovers for them, and it would be an understatement to say that Naruto was excited to taste ramen here, while he was sure no one can come close to Ichiraku's ramen, this might come in as a close second.
"My boys that's good enough, take your break, thanks to you there were three times as much female customers this time, maybe next time I should have you wear some tanktops." Ichinose finished with a smirk.
"I still don't believe you're just a grandma." The Uchiha finished handing tea to the elders and while his statement may be directed to the way she acted, it was also because of her looks, she was fit for her age and her youth did not go over a day over forty years old.
"I'd take that as a compliment, oh and thank you for the tea but we should get going now." She stood up as she helped her friend and threw something at Naruto who was walking towards them while carrying a seat. He was still smiling brightly as he caught it. "It's the keys, night now, the one that's bronze-plated is for your room just next to this restaurant."
"Arigato, baa-chan! And night to you too, Jiji!" While they only just met now, Naruto had already got accustomed to talking to everybody informally, and wouldn't give a damn to anyone who says otherwise.
"Yes thank you, Ichinose-san, and please take care of her too, Kise-san." As the Uchiha took a short bow.
"Night now, remember you have to go to school tomorrow, don't let this old hag catch you." The old man said as he dragged the other old lady out of the room quickly before an audible smack was heard, and it was most probably Ichinose hitting him at the head.
The two teens were left by the sound of the door slamming, they looked at each other as the ravenette smiled slightly and the blonde was still smiling as he sat quickly to one of the chairs and in front of him was a bowl of ramen noodles, steaming hot as he got a whiff of the scent, he immediately melted, his mouth watered. The Uchiha just smiled lightly and went over to sit in front of him picking up a cup of tea.
Finishing their meals, they laid back to the chairs, Naruto sighed out of relief, "I could get used to this," he said whilst closing his eyes together with his two arms behind his head.
"Well, I guess it went better than expected." Sasuke, who let out a grunt as he made his neck crack.
"Oh why you got to be like that, can't you feel it, the atmosphere, it feels so… peaceful." As soon as he said those words the jingles clanged together as the door opened and it seemed like there was still a last batch of customers waiting, weird it was already eleven in the night.
"You jinxed it, idiot." With another grunt, he stood up exhaustedly and made his way to the door to meet the customers as the Uzumaki got a few menus and went over to Sasuke quickly. "Welcome to Ichinose's Ramen Sta-" He stopped as he looked at the customers and noticed that they were wearing the same school uniforms as them, they were Kuoh academy students, the one they were trying to hide their identity to, and right now, they just fucked up.
The students looked at them mouth gaping in shock, some of the females mindlessly drooling at the sight of their muscles covered in sweat, one girl looked at them with narrowed eyes as her nose continued to take in a sniffing motion, there was agony in one male's face, whilst one was just staring at them with wide-eyes. With all those reactions all they had to say was this.
"Well, shit."
