Chapter Eight: Why me?
"The Young master and the others have been gone for a while. And Ruu-chan hasn't come back yet or reported being found." Celestine whined impatiently, her worried tone earning a pair of sighs from the Dark Elves who seemed to be occupying themselves with a deck of cards to play Blackjack, a game that Naruto taught them a short while ago since he was worried that they were perhaps watching too much television, which they couldn't argue with.
"It hasn't been that long since your attack dog showed up, and the young master has several errands to run so it might be awhile. Come to think of it… if Ruu Ruu could mail herself here, would it not be plausible to send letters to your other comrades using that mailing system she used to get here?" Olga pointed out with a raised eyebrow. At her words, the fallen goddess quickly perked up and realized that her rival was correct. That was definitely possible.
"Ah! Yes! You're right! I need paper, envelopes, something to write with." Celestine muttered as she began to search almost frantically for the needed items to begin writing her letters. The sooner that her old friends and allies were aware of her location, the better. It would definitely give her peace of mind and much needed closure if she were to reconnect with them.
Ignoring the High Elf, Chloe checked her cards and smirked since the sum equaled twenty. Her queen couldn't help but notice the smirk and quickly guess that her aide must have had a good hand and contemplated on staying with her current hand or getting another and risking a bust. "So, erm… Olga-sama… how was sex with the young master?" Chloe asked with a small blush, feeling a sense of obligation to repaying their master's kindness. Naturally, all she had to offer was her own body.
"Ohhhhhh? You're asking me how good a lover the young master is? Why don't you try seducing him and finding out for yourself?" Olga suggested in a teasing voice. Her aide bit her lip for a moment as she thought about how best to seduce her master.
Should she try a semi-forceful approach and aggressively throw him in the bedroom? Or something more sensual and gentle? Ugh. She couldn't decide. Perhaps she was overthinking it somewhat and should just ask him if she could join him in his bed as a means to thank him for… well… everything really.
"It's… it isn't like that. I just want to express my gratitude! It's not like I have any feelings or anything!" Chloe sputtered out in denial making her Queen giggle a bit since she hadn't said anything about Chloe's feelings. Then again, a kind hearted boy like Naruto could easily tug at any woman's heartstrings. Olga herself knew this since she had a certain fondness for him herself… and he was a good lover as well.
Before Olga could choose to hit or stay, they heard the front door unlock as both Hannah and Ran-Mao entered… with a new girl in tow. "Hello everyone. This is Hinata Hyuuga, the young master's latest slave." Hannah spoke, quickly introducing the former heiress who gave a quick bow before taking in the sight of her new peers.
"Wow… you're all so gorgeous. Naruto-ku, er Sama has a good eye for women." Hinata muttered in amazement and then took notice of their pointed ears. Did Naruto have a fetish for elf ears? Would she have to get some as well? Whatever material he used looked extremely realistic.
"Another one? Just how many does the young master intend to collect?" Chloe muttered as she stood up from her seat and approached the young ex-heiress.
"Master had to. Trouble. Hina needed help." Ran-Mao spoke as she summarized the situation and hugged the girl from behind, her large bust squishing against the top of Hinata's head which made her blush a bit.
Chloe's expression softened a bit since she had expected that to be the case. Their master's desire to rescue and protect slaves facing abuse being a clear motivation he had often expressed. The blonde half-elf hummed a bit and spoke "Well, whatever. My name is Chloe. I hope we get along."
The Hyuuga girl smiled and gave a friendly wave while in the background Olga spoke "My name is Olga Discordia. Pleased to meet you. And the fat cow tearing the place apart is Celestine Lucross." The fallen queen spoke as she pointed towards the High Elf in question looking through numerous cupboards and drawers.
"I'm not fat!" Celestine barked out defensively as she retreated further back towards the bedrooms to continue her search for some envelopes to send off her letters. Hinata giggled a bit and then blushed profusely as she saw Ran-Mao quickly shed her clothing, revealing her slender yet busty form.
"Much better." The golden eyed woman muttered as she performed a few stretches. It took a few seconds for it to click with Hinata, but she then remembered the rules mentioned earlier explaining that they stayed in the nude at home.
"Well… if it's the rules." She muttered as she reluctantly took off her own clothes until she was in her birthday suit. Both Olga and Chloe raised their eyebrows at the sight of their member with the former asking "Hinata is it? How old are you exactly?"
The lavender eyed girl felt their eyes roaming her body as she replied "Ummm… fifteen. Like Naruto-sama. Why?" She asked at the end, but instead of answering the two Dark Elves approached her, each one grabbing one of her breasts in one hand while using the other to rub her buttocks.
"Why does everyone want to keep touching me?! I'm not a toy!" Hinata whined, but the elves paid no attention to her as they admired her young body.
"Wow. So young. And yet very well developed. I can only imagine how much more you'll grow when you reach full adulthood. I wonder if the females in this continent develop more rapidly here." Olga muttered to herself out of curiosity as she gently squeezed the marshmallow soft flesh in her hands.
"So smooth. Soft. Utterly flawless. No imperfections at all." Chloe muttered in amazement as her eyes scanned Hinata's body, a small twinge of jealousy filling her. If this girl was this bountiful now… she could easily become more busty than Chloe herself in a short amount of time. Did her master have a thing for large tits and asses?
After a few more moments of their… inspection, they finally released the former heiress who sighed in relief since she wasn't used to so much physical contact, much less the intimate kind of contact. The two elves then returned to their game of blackjack with the fallen queen speaking "I'll stay."
Chloe smirked as they revealed their cards together… and found that her Queen had beaten her with a score of twenty… her own hand no less. "Hey! You cheated! You switched our hands when I wasn't looking!" Chloe shouted while pointing an accusatory finger towards her queen with the Dark Elf giving a casual shrug.
"Prove it." Was her only response as she flashed a toothy grin and victory sign. At this, Hinata giggled a bit and then asked "Do you mind if I join in?" At her request the Dark Elves both nodded in agreement since they wanted the newcomer to feel welcome, plus it would be a good opportunity for them to talk and get to know one another.
In the background, Celestine continued her search for the needed materials she required while Ran-Mao seemed to be doing some stretches in… highly provocative poses. Hannah gave a fond smile and decided to make some tea for everyone while they awaited their master's return. Speaking of which… how was he doing right now anyway?
Meanwhile. Inuzuka estate.
"Yeesh. It's getting hot out here." Naruto muttered to himself as he wiped some sweat that was building on his forehead. Some AC and a cool drink sounded nice right about now. As he got closer to his destination, he saw the form of Tsume's parter, Kuromaru lazily sunbathing with a bowl of water nearby.
"Good afternoon Kuro-san." Naruto spoke in a polite tone, with the canine opening his good eye and slowly turning his head to the Uzumaki's direction. He smirked a bit and then responded "Ah. If it isn't the little pup that put itching powder in my favorite brush."
"You still holding a grudge over that? You did try to bite me." The whiskered teen responded since he once pulled a prank on Tsume's partner about a year back.
"Nah. You looking for Tsume?" The canine asked earning a nod from the Uzumaki prompting Kuromaru to continue speaking and pointing out the general direction with his tail "She's working out in her gym right now. You'll find it in the back."
The Uzumaki gave a quick thanks and then began marching towards the back area of the estate. It wasn't long before he heard the sounds of grunting as he approached what could only be the gym area. There was a large assortment of exercise equipment ranging from treadmills, punching bags, a sparring arena, and many more items of interest.
He found Tsume, wearing only a sports bra and a pair of tight form fitting shorts as she balanced some weights on her shoulders and squatted down before standing up again at a controlled and steady pace. 'Holy crap. I always knew that Tsume was a hot mom, but…. Damn that bod.' Naruto thought quietly to himself as numerous inappropriate thoughts and images filled his head as he admired her fit and toned form.
It was always difficult to tell under her Jonin flak jacket, but now there was nothing left to the imagination. Her large bouncing breasts, her wide childbearing hips, her toned stomach and abs glistening with sweat. 'Dear Kami, why me?! I'm becoming a pervert.' He thought to himself as he continued watching, unable to decide if he should announce his presence or wait until she was finished.
"Enjoying the show there pup?" Tsume called out with a feral grin, making the boy stiffen up since he'd been caught checking her out. "Look all you want. You can even touch if you're feeling brave." She continued to speak in a teasing tone, though he couldn't tell if she was being serious or not.
After a few more squats, the Inuzuka Matriarch sighed as she placed the set of weights in their proper place before approaching the Uzumaki. "Oi. Dry me off with that towel. That's the least you can do after watching me." She spoke in a tone that was authoritative, as expected of the Inuzuka's Matriarch and Alpha.
Naruto gulped and nodded as he picked up the indicated towel and began to rub it against her hot sweat soaked flesh… even through the fabric he could feel her firm muscle and supple… assets. "Be thorough pup. Be sure to get between my thighs." She instructed him with a small cackle.
"Hai… and sorry for… you know… staring." Naruto replied nervously, his cheeks flushed red as he rubbed Tsume's inner thighs with the towel. His face but bare inches from her crotch as he tried to avert his gaze from looking at… certain places of her body. He didn't want to incur the wrath of a very dominant and almost Amazon-like Kunoichi after all.
He blushed harder as he realized his blood flow was being directed to his crotch. If this kept up, he'd be pitching a tent in his pants. "Eh. I'm not mad at ya or anything. I kinda like being watched. It actually makes me feel pretty hot when a young pup like you ogles me." She spoke and then roughly ruffled his hair before walking away from him, making him sigh in relief that he was done… though at the same time he felt a sense of disappointment that he couldn't keep feeling her body.
Damn it. He really was becoming a pervert. "So what do you want? Came to see little old me? Brave little pup aren't you? Especially since my heat season could start up any time now." Tsume spoke as she performed a few stretches.
"Wait… heat season?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow. The Inuzuka's went into heat like dogs? Well… that would explain some of Kiba's behavior with women if he were honest. And the Inuzuka clan had a very symbiotic relationship with their partners.
"Yup. If you want, I could certainly use you and your cock. What do ya say? Wanna get lucky with a Milf?" Tsume asked as she pulled down her sports bra, exposing her luscious tits that seemed to glisten. Wow… she was really open about her desires right now.
"Ummm… well… I actually came here because… I have a lot more girls now… and we need some extra elbow room so…" he tried to explain his situation to the feral looking woman in front of him, but was cut off when she let out a boisterous laugh.
"Hahaha! So you need an extra apartment or two to fit in your girls eh? That's fine. Take as much room as you need for them… but your rates are gonna go up pup. Way up. And I will collect." She growled out at the end as she grabbed the blonde by the collar with one hand and then aggressively rubbed his crotch in the other.
"This is mine. Your balls are mine, along with everything in them. Whenever or wherever I want." She spoke in a husky voice, her face flushed a dark crimson color and her eyes seemed to hold an animalistic hunger to them. It seemed her heat cycle was crashing hard on her.
Naruto had once heard that her husband had left her for some reason or other… he supposed that having no one to ride out her heat with was severely affecting her. Since it appeared that she wouldn't take no for an answer since she wasn't in a tight state of mind, he simply nodded in consent. Hopefully she will be more reasonable when her heat cycle is finished, until then… it would probably be best to play along.
With his slaves, they were often open with their desires but he had control over them and they would respect his wishes… but Tsume? He had no control over her. She was the one in power here. "Mom!" Came a shout coming from one Hana Inuzuka, as she approached with a small sneer and tore the blonde away from her mother.
Naruto wasn't sure whether to feel disappointed or relieved at Hana's intervention. Tsume clicked her tongue in mild annoyance as her daughter spoke "For Kami's sake, don't go forcing yourself on Naruto-kun!"
Tsume gave an almost feral grin as she cupped her breasts and massaged them enticingly as she spoke "The pup certainly wasn't resisting. I think he liked a domineering female like me. That aside, I don't believe you have a claim to him. Though if you want to join in, I won't object. I think that Naruto would like to see some mommy and daughter action as he pounds us with his big dick."
Hana blushed deeply but seemed to consider the idea as a dark spot appeared in the crotch area of her pants, suggesting that she was nearing her heat as well. The younger Inuzuka cleared her throat and spoke "We can talk more about this later… for now I have to ask… is this one of ours?" She asked at the end as her canine partners, pushed in a cage that had a small girl inside wearing a green cap… who was barking and snarling savagely as though she were a feral animal which made them all sweat-drop at the display.
"Let Ruu-Ruu out! Ruu-Ruu hates cages! I will bite you all, and you will hate it!" The girl now identified as Ruu-Ruu shouted angrily as she fiddled with the combination lock that kept her cage shut as she tried to get it open.
Tsume blinked her eyes a few times and responded "I don't think she belongs to us. Where did she even come from?" At her question, her daughter could only shrug since they had earlier received information about a dog girl on the loose. And this girl did indeed fit the description that was provided.
"I will bite you all! And I will free Celes-sama! Ruu-Ruu swears this!" The girl screeched out as she rattled the cage… and then she collapsed to the floor as her stomach rumbled loudly. Naruto raised an eyebrow at what the girl said and came to a quick realization…
"Oi. You said Celes-sama… are you a friend of Celestine's?" He asked, his question making the orangette perk up a bit, her eyes gaining a sparkle to them.
"Eh?! You know Celes-sama?" She asked in return and then sniffed the air a bit and found that the whiskered teen carried the scents of both the Dark Elves and Celestine herself "Ah! You have her scent on you! Are you her friend too?" She asked him, causing him to nod in response before turning to the Inuzuka's.
"If you don't mind, I'll be taking this girl with me. I'm sure that Celestine is worried about her." Naruto spoke earning some nods from the two Inuzuka's.
"Sure. Do whatever you want with her. Just keep her out of trouble… and don't forget that I'll be collecting from you soon." Tsume spoke and then sensually licked her lips making the Uzumaki shudder a bit in arousal. Hana rolled her eyes and opened Ruu-Ruu's cage allowing the girl to climb out as she stretched her limbs a bit.
Hana then gave a large battleaxe to the orangette, who seemed to lift and carry it around with ease despite her tiny frame, suggesting the girl was stronger than she appeared… the cage must have been specially reinforced to contain her or something. Or her hunger left her in a weakened state that kept her from utilizing her full power.
"Come on Ruu-san. Let's get you some food. My name's Naruto by the way." He spoke as he extended his hand to her, prompting Ruu-Ruu to gladly accept it as she happily followed him since the promise of food gave her a small burst of energy. As the pair walked away… both Hana and Tsume watched the blonde boy with a certain kind of hunger in their eyes.
When Naruto and Ruu-Ruu departed from the Inuzuka estate, he decided rather quickly to take her to Ichiraku's, which quite fortunately wasn't too far from his new home and he was having a craving for some of their Ramen anyway. And he was certain Ruu-Ruu would enjoy the meal.
As they walked together, the blonde decided to strike up some conversation with her to learn more about her "So Ruu-Ruu… If you don't mind my asking, what's your relationship with Celestine?"
The tiny girl giggled as she replied "Me and Celes-sama are good friends. Some people call me her attack dog, not that I really mind. I was so happy that I found her earlier, but now she's being kept as a slave. Her master is a evil person, that has raped her senseless. I will find him and I will bite him and then I will cut off his penis!" She proudly declared as she brandished her axe.
Naruto gulped a bit nervously at her statement, it seemed as though that Ruu-Ruu had visited his apartment and after hearing that Celestine was a slave probably jumped to conclusions and then left before the others could set her straight… now how was he gonna tell this girl that he was Celestine's master without her trying to castrate him?!
"What about you? How did you meet Celes-sama? Are you friends with the Dark Elves too? I can smell them on you." She asked, making the blonde hum for a brief moment as he thought on how to answer her.
He smiled a bit and replied "Well… I guess you could say that I've been helping take care of them and keeping them safe from harm." At his statement, the orange haired girl's sparkled like diamonds as she looked at him with an awestruck expression.
"Wowie! You've been protecting them? You must be a good person!" Ruu-Ruu stated as she gave him a thumbs up… her nose then twitched as she caught the scent of something. Something that made her mouth water uncontrollably and her stomach to roar loudly. "What is that? What is that smell? Is it food?! Ruu-sama wants the food!" She shouted and then dashed forward at full speed, forcing Naruto to chase after her for a short sprint as they both entered a certain Ramen stand.
"Where's the food?! I want food!" She shouted impatiently as she hopped on a stool, behind the counter, one Ayame sweat-dropped at the girl's behavior and then noticed Naruto entering as well as he took a seat next to the orangette.
"Ohayo Naruto-kun! Is this girl a friend of yours?" Ayame greeted warmly, always happy to see her favorite customer paying a visit. While rumors circulated that he was now the owner of some slaves, she knew that he must have good reason for it, so she decided not to question him about it unless he mentioned it himself.
"Ohayo Ayame-chan. This is Ruu-Ruu. We just met but I hope we can be. I'm treating her to lunch for now. I'll have my usual and whatever Ruu-Ruu wants." Naruto spoke as he scratched the back of his head.
"Eh. I'll have whatever Naruto-sama is having." Ruu-Ruu spoke with a broad grin, earning a somewhat concerned look from the ramen waitress who wanted to give her a friendly warning about the enormous portion size of Naruto's 'usual' but was silenced when the blonde himself gave her a slight shake of his head. Getting the message, Ayame simply nodded and began to make preparations for the meal.
As she did so, Naruto pointed out "Hey… Ruu-Ruu… you called me 'Naruto-sama'. Why'd you do that?" It seemed a bit strange for her to speak of him in such a respectful manner since they had only met but a few minutes ago.
"You got me out of that cage, you kept Celes-sama safe, and now you're treating me to food. Why shouldn't I?" She asked as if it were the most simple thing in the world which made Naruto chuckle a bit. Evidently this girl was quite a pure and innocent creature, her mannerisms and behavior almost reminding him of a wild animal. Once she made up her mind about something, that was it and there would be no changing it.
"Oi. Naruto-sama, I have to ask… why haven't you freed Celes-sama and the others if you're protecting them?" Ruu-Ruu asked as she adjusted her cap, her question earning a sigh from the whiskered teen.
"I'd do so if I could… but it's out of my hands right now. Still, I haven't given up. I'm still working on trying to free them." He responded truthfully, prompting the Halfling to nod in understanding.
"I see. Well, when I see the dirty rotten bastard that enslaved them I will bite him again and again, and I will make him hate it! He will learn to fear Ruu-sama!" She proclaimed and pumped a fist in the air… however the display seemed more adorable than intimidating which made Ayame giggle a bit in the background.
"Why do you keep mentioning biting people? And wouldn't they hate it automatically? Is there anyone that actually likes being bitten?" Naruto asked with a small sweat-drop.
"Oh right. Back home whenever I went out drinking, some weird guys would offer me coin to bite them or do lewd things with them. But I always ignored them. I hate dirty guys that only think about sex!" She explained with a broad smile.
Wait… she drank? And had knowledge of sex? "Ruu-san… not to sound rude or anything… but how old are you?" The whiskered teen asked as he scratched his cheek.
"Oh. Ruu-sama forgets. I think I'm somewhere in my twenties in human years. Late twenties tops." She explained as she fluffed her hair a bit, her response making both Konoha residents sweat-drop again. Was she serious?
Naruto decided not to question it any further since he did have a trio of elves as his slaves. And his new friend wasn't exactly human as evidenced by the tail he could see peeking from under her shawl. That reminded him, he'd need to get some proper clothes for her as well since her outfit didn't conceal that much… especially if the wind blew. Ruu-Ruu hummed a bit as she drummed her fingers on the counter, waiting as patiently as possible for the meal as her new friend enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere… and then a mop of pink hair appeared and plopped herself on another stool.
"Sakura?!" Naruto half shouted as he jumped a bit in his seat, surprised by the pinkette's presence. The Haruno glanced over at him, he was expecting her to scream at him or toss him out or punch him… but instead she gave an apologetic smile and waved at him as she spoke "Afternoon Naruto."
Wait… what? Did Sakura Haruno just cordially greet him… like a normal person? "Lemme guess. You're thinking something along the lines of 'Sakura isn't being a bitch to me?'" She spoke in an amused voice, his stunned silence giving her the answer she needed.
"Well, I guess I can't blame ya for thinking that. I'm really sorry for everything. Really. I'm a pretty terrible person." The pinkette muttered ruefully as she leaned against the counter with a sigh. Her tone sounded quite… sincere. Strange. He'd never seen her act like this before.
The pinkette then turned her attention to Ruu-Ruu and asked "Hey Naruto, is this another one of your…" She was cut off by the blonde who had already guessed what she was going to ask and spoke in a hasty voice "THIS! This is Ruu-Ruu, I only just met her today. So um… what's with the sudden change in attitude?"
Sakura blinked her eyes a few times and sweat-dropped a bit at the whiskered teen. She paused for a moment to place a to-go order of ramen and then replied to him "Well… I guess this is the real me. The 'Fan-Girl' you're so familiar with is nothing but a mask." At her explanation, the blonde slowly nodded in understanding since he too had worn a mask of his own for a number of years.
For as long as he'd known her, she'd been a shallow Sasuke obsessed Fan-girl, and he had no inclination to believe otherwise. He couldn't help but admire her for maintaining and being so dedicated to her role, each and every day must have been a thousand and one performances. At some point or other, she must have become so accustomed to it, that it became second nature to her. Such dedication was nothing short of impressive.
"YAY! THE FOOD!" Ruu-Ruu shouted gleefully as Ayame placed two gigantic bowls down, one in front of the orangette and the other in front of Naruto. "Wow! It smells so good! What do you call this?" She asked as she practically bounced in her seat as the whiskered teen broke apart a set of chopsticks for her to use before getting his own.
"It's called Ramen. I hope you like it." He spoke with a broad grin since he didn't know of a single person that didn't like Ichiraku ramen. Ruu-Ruu let out a loud 'Ehhhhhh?!' as she glanced between Naruto and the enormous ramen bowl with a horrified look.
"Raw men?! No one said we were in a village of cannibals! Wait, why is it called 'raw' if it's cooked?" The orangette spoke in horror and then confusion, her face turning a sickly green. Her reaction making Naruto snicker since he recalled Chloe having a similar reaction on the first night. Both Sakura and Ayame also giggled a bit, and guessed that this girl was likely a foreigner that hadn't yet gotten into the local cuisine.
"Chill Ruu-chan. There's no human meat at all in there." Naruto spoke reassuringly, his gentle tone seemed to help put the cap wearing girl at ease. She inhaled the scent of the bowl in front of her, with her eyes taking in the large variety of ingredients soaking in the broth before tentatively trying a bite… and then began greedily slurping it all down with gusto as she moaned loudly.
If Naruto didn't know any better, he was sure that she was probably having an oral orgasm right now given how lewd sounding her moans were. He chuckled as he began digging into his own bowl as Sakura patiently waited for her order. After a minute or so, Ayame presented the pinkette her meal, prompting the Haruno to hand over the needed payment and then she spoke to her classmate "I'll be seeing you around Naruto. We should talk more later."
Naruto looked back at Sakura and nodded to her in agreement, hoping to get to know the real Sakura better. The Haruno gave a friendly smirk and then left without a word further, leaving the Uzumaki alone with his new companion. A few minutes later, both the Uzumaki and his newest friend had both finished their massive ramen bowls.
"So Ruu-chan, I've been meaning to ask, not to sound rude or anything, but what exactly are you?" The Uzumaki asked since he was quite curious about her species.
"Oh. I guess you don't see many Halflings like me around eh?" She asked in return causing the blonde to shake his head negatively making Ruu-Ruu giggle a bit as she continued to speak "I see. I see. Ruu-Ruu is what's called a Halfling. Most of us are born female and can mate with any species… supposedly. We also sometimes grow animal-like traits, like my tail. We may be small but we can be fierce!" She shouted at the end and hefted her battleaxe with a proud grin.
She certainly wasn't lacking in spirit, and he had a feeling that she could back up her words easily. Still… there was something that still concerned him. How was he going to explain to her that he owned Celestine? If he told her that she was Celestine's master, there was no doubt she'd attack him. Perhaps it would be better if she heard it from Celestine herself? At the very least, the others could intervene if Ruu-Ruu tried to attack.
He placed his payment for the meal on the counter, along with a generous tip for Ayame and then spoke "Come on Ruu-chan. Let's get you reunited with Celestine." He spoke with a small smile, earning an excited 'yay' from the Halfling as they departed from the humble Ramen stand. As they left, Ayame herself couldn't help but smile warmly at how kindhearted Naruto was… it was more than enough to make almost any girl swoon.
Meanwhile. Uzumaki apartment.
"Ugh! Stupid humans! That is such poor use of magic! Wands are too flimsy for practical use, a staff or ring would work better as a magical medium, most especially the latter. And why doesn't that kid take a potion to improve his eyesight?" Olga spoke in a critiquing voice as she and the others watched a movie about a young spectacled wizard with a scar on his forehead.
"Erm… I'm still wondering why he wasn't allowed to live and learn amongst the Wizarding community. Isn't he supposed to fight a dark wizard or something?" Celestine muttered to herself as she crossed her arms beneath her bust.
"And what's the deal with that bushy haired know-it-all? Is she trying to overcompensate for something?" Chloe asked as she brushed her signature ponytail. Off to the side, Hinata giggled a bit since they had earlier decided to take a break from card games to watch a film… and it was definitely interesting to hear their thoughts and commentary about it. It seemed that Olga in particular didn't favor the portrayal of magic users or how they utilized the magical arts.
In the background, Hannah could be seen carrying a tray of tea and varying snacks to the group watching the movie. "That stuttering teacher seems suspicious to me. Is he not supposed to be the self-defence teacher or something like that?" Hannah questioned since that had been on her mind for a while.
The group collectively shrugged their shoulders as Hinata glanced over towards Celestine, taking note that she could see her pointed ears occasionally twitching. Raising an eyebrow Hinata asked "Umm, excuse me? I have been meaning to ask for a while but… why does Naruto-sama make you wear those elf ears? And how do you make them look so life-like?"
"Easy. We're elves." Olga stated in a blunt tone as she poured some cream into her tea and gently stirred it, her words making the Hyuuga jaw-drop at the revelation. She had seen plenty of elves in movies and books, often believing them to be little more than fantasy… and yet she was watching a movie with them right now.
Then again… there were certainly stranger things in the world, and she couldn't help think about what other wonders may exist outside the Shinobi Nations, which in itself was home to many unusual phenomena. The world was vast after all, and the Shinobi Nations was but a tiny portion of it.
Ran-Mao stared at the TV screen silently, her eyes almost never blinking as she watched the film with the utmost attention. Hinata took notice of this and slowly raised her hand up to check and see if the yellow eyed woman was awake, as soon as her hand entered the martial artist's field of vision, she grabbed Hinata by the wrist and lowered her hand back down. The Hyuuga immediately got the message that translated as a 'Don't mess with me' and decided not to push her luck.
After a few more minutes, the sounds of the front door unlocking could be heard as Naruto entered inside and shouted "I'm home! And I brought a new friend." At his announcement, he ushered in his new Halfling companion who was now beaming as she rushed over to Celestine and buried her little head between the High Elf's enormous breasts.
"Celes-sama! I was so worried I'd never see you again! I was thrown into a cage and taken away, but then Naruto-sama saved me and gave me yummy food. Ruu-sama couldn't find the guy that enslaved you, but that's okay. When he shows his face I will bite him! I will bite and bite and I will remove his dick with my teeth!" The orangette shouted as she clenched her fist, her eyes seemingly turning into a pair of red hot fireballs.
Celestine sweat-dropped a bit and safely guessed that the young master hadn't told her the full story, most likely for his own safety, not that she could blame him. "Hush now Ruu-chan. You're safe now. My young master will take good care of you." The blonde High Elf spoke in a gentle voice and looked to the Uzumaki.
"Eh? Young master? He's here? Where? I will bite him and he will hate it!" Ruu-Ruu shouted as she tore herself away from Celestine's embrace and began to furiously look around for her friend's master. But there was no one else around in the apartment, and she couldn't smell the scent of anyone else either.
"Ruu-Ruu? May I introduce the young master, Naruto Uzumaki." The High Elf spoke and pointed towards the whiskered teen who nervously chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head.
Ruu-Ruu stared at him for a few seconds, her eyes wide like dinner plates and her mouth hanging open. She quickly snapped herself out of her stupor and shouted while pointing an accusatory finger towards Naruto "YOU! You lied to me! You fed me yummy food to fatten me up so you could rape me then cook me and eat me up! Hentai! Rapist! Cannibal!" Wait… what?
"Where the hell did that leap of logic come from?" Olga asked as everyone sweat-dropped… that was also pretty dark too. Just how did she come up with that idea?
"Umm, I never really lied to you. I just didn't mention my status as their master. And I fed you because you were hungry. Simple as that." The Uzumaki spoke as he tried to explain himself, but it appeared that his words fell on deaf ears as the Halfling began twirling her axe overhead with impressive strength and dexterity.
"SHADDUP! You'll never get an ounce of Ruu-sama's meat! Time to die!" She shouted dashed forward to attack him… but was stopped dead in her tracks as a soft purple glow came from Olga's hand.
"Stasis field." She muttered quietly, refusing to let the little Halfling do harm to Naruto. Celestine got up from her seat with a rolled up newspaper and slapped it against Ruu-Ruu's forehead as if she were a misbehaving dog.
"No! Bad Ruu-Ruu! Bad! You don't hurt Naruto-sama! If you attack him we can't be friends anymore." Celestine threatened in a stern voice, the sounds of glass shattering being heard somewhere in the background as the Halfling had a mortified look on her face, her skin turning ghostly white.
"No! Not that! Ruu-Ruu is sorry! Please don't be mad Celes-sama!" The cap wearing girl pleaded, not wanting her friendship with the fallen Goddess to be broken.
Once order had been restored and Ruu-Ruu calmed down, both Naruto and Celestine gave a full explanation to her as she attentively listened. "I see. I see. So Naruto-sama really is protecting Celes-sama and the others. That thing about those slave seals sounds too complex for me. But that's okay! I'll help keep everyone safe too! Also… Ruu-Ruu is sorry for attacking you Naruto-sama." She apologized with some tears building in the corners of her eyes.
"Eh. No harm done. You can't be faulted for wanting to protect someone you cherish." The Uzumaki spoke, happily accepting her apology as he patted her on the head.
"No! Ruu-Ruu could have killed you! I will repay this debt! You fed me and kept Celes-sama from bad humans! Starting today, I, Ruu-sama will be your loyal bodyguard! All I ask in return is more yummy food, a nice bed, to help find our friends and to keep Celes-sama safe! You can do anything you want with Ruu-Ruu! You can do lewd things to me! Or I can give you lots of love bites, I promise you'll like it!" The orangette promised as her little tail wagged happily. Her eyes having a certain kind of sparkle to them like a happy puppy.
"Well, if you wanna stay with us, you're more than welcome to. Lewd stuff and bites not required." The Uzumaki replied with a chuckle, and then found his waist being wrapped up by the Halfling's tiny arms.
"Okie-dokie! Ruu-Ruu is here to stay! Naruto-sama won't regret it! Ruu-sama will serve faithfully!" The cap wearing Halfling promised with a broad grin. It would seem they had yet another addition to their rapidly growing family.
Celestine gently clapped her hands together with a warm smile and spoke "I'm so happy to have another friend here. By the way Naruto-sama, did you speak with the landlady about the extra space?" She asked at the end, snapping the blonde teen to attention since he'd almost forgotten about that.
"Oh yeah. I did… I err… negotiated with her. She said we can take as much room as we need to… shit. I forgot to ask her for the keys." He muttered at the end since it kind of defeated the purpose of asking without a means to open the needed apartments.
Olga cleared her throat and piped in "So long as we have permission, that will be enough. Until we get some keys made, I can simply use an unlocking spell for the doors." The others nodded since that seemed like the easiest solution for the time being. But then came another matter… the sleeping arrangements.
"Who should sleep where exactly?" Hinata asked since she was the newest member of Naruto's growing 'collection'.
At this, Chloe raised her hand and spoke "There's no need to overthink it. We can decide upon what rooms we want to sleep in given that we'll have access to other apartments as needed. Additionally, we can also take turns being the master's evening companion. I… I erm… I volunteer to join the young master's bed for tonight."
Celestine and Olga giggled a bit while Hinata blushed, Ran-Mao gave a thumbs-up, Hannah gave a soft smile and Ruu-Ruu was making some kind of lewd gesture. "Oh, Naruto-sama! Can I ask for a favor? Ruu-Ruu used some kind of delivery service to mail herself here… I was hoping that I could use that same service to send letters to my other friends so that they can find me." Celestine requested with a small smile.
She quickly got her answer when her master nodded in agreement and replied "Sure. Whatever you need. We can get the materials to mail your friends later." His words making the High elf sigh in relief, though she knew her master had no reason to say no. He was always so kind and accommodating.
As this went on, the Halfling then took notice of the television and saw a large creature that she assumed to be a troll smashing up a bathroom as the sound of a girl screaming could be heard.
"Ah! A monster! One of Volt's trolls! Vive la Revenge!" Ruu-Ruu shouted as she leapt towards the TV with her battleaxe poised to strike. A collective shout came that sounded like "NOT THE TV!"
Apparently everyone had forgotten to explain modern technology to Ruu-Ruu. That would have to be corrected… immediately.
Later. Naruto's bedroom.
"Gosh, what a day. Tsume-san coming on to me, Hinata my slave, a crazy loli-dog-girl, and Sakura is actually capable of being a decent person. Who would have guessed? Well… at least Ruu-Ruu didn't break the TV." Naruto muttered to himself at the end as an afterthought… that TV looked really expensive. It was most fortunate that they were able to stop the Halfling before she could slice it apart.
He sighed to himself as he pulled back the covers on his bed, very eager to tuck himself in and get a good night's rest. Although… Chloe hadn't yet shown up for some reason. Then again, he was pretty sure he'd seen her go into the bathroom, likely to freshen herself up with a quick shower. He heard the bedroom door open as a slender brown leg appeared through the cracked doorway.
As the door slowly opened, Chloe could be seen in a seductive pose wearing a cream colored nightie that hugged her body, showing off her legs and a generous portion of her bust and buttocks. "G-good evening… master." She stuttered a bit, her face flushed red showing that she felt a bit embarrassed.
Never in all of her life would she have ever thought about sleeping with a human male of her own volition, but here she was. Ready to offer herself to him and surrender to whatever carnal pleasures that would come. But even so… she couldn't help but feel a tight knot in her belly. "Evening Chloe. That's a nice outfit." Her master greeted in a friendly tone, trying to help put her at ease.
"Th-thank you. Hinata-san said I could borrow it. Said it… it would look good… on me. That you'd like it." Chloe spoke in a nervous tone as she clasped her hands behind her back and turned to face him. Sensing her discomfort, the Uzumaki felt a little uneasy now.
"Yeah. I do. Umm, Chloe? You don't have to sleep with me if you don't want to. I don't want you to feel obligated or forced to do anything.' He spoke gently, but the Half-Elf shook her head in denial.
"N-No! I want to do this! Really! You have been so kind and patient with us, and you've taken such good care of us! I have to repay you! And… all I can offer… is myself… something you already own and could take at any time, yet you choose not to." She muttered at the end, some tears brimming in her eyes as the blonde teen gave her a sympathetic look. It still seemed that there was some conflict in her. Some part of her that was holding her back and causing her inner turmoil.
The Jinchuuriki patted on a space at the edge of the bed and spoke in a gentle voice "Hey Chloe, why don't you come sit down for a bit?" She nodded and accepted the invitation as she planted herself on the side of the bed next to him.
"My apologies… seduction isn't my strong suite. But… I really do want to thank you." She muttered, her expression showing a softer and more shy side to her as Naruto listened to her.
"Nothing wrong with that. If you want to have sex, that's fine and all… but not if you're forcing yourself to." He responded to her, earning a small sniffle from Chloe.
"Thank you. It's… it's not anything to do with you. I just… never had any good experiences with humans until I met you." She spoke somberly as she stroked her signature ponytail, her words reminding her fellow blonde of something.
"Oh yeah… you were a slave at one point before you met me. And Olga saved you, right? You uh… do you want to talk about it? Might help if you get some things off your chest." He offered to her, and in response the Half-elf stared at the floor for a few moments, as if pondering or debating on if she wanted to speak of her past… still, she believed she should share something with him. He deserved that much.
"My mother was captured and enslaved by humans. They raped her almost daily, even while she was pregnant. Eventually, she gave birth to me, some bastard of some random and pitiless human. My Dark Elf side was far more prominent than my human side, the only sign of my human blood existing being my blonde hair since Dark Elves have black hair.
My mom… she died some time after I was born. The humans just kept on raping her until she finally died of exhaustion and the physical abuse. At least, that's what I was told by the other slaves that knew her.
Growing up, I never knew freedom. Slavery, chains, and abuse were all that came. I slept outside, in a cage, beneath a boiling sun, freezing cold and rain and thunder. I was forced to beg for scraps tossed to the floor, like I was some kind of dog. If I ever did anything wrong, I'd be beaten. The humans would also say horrible disgusting things, like what they did to my mom, or what… they would do to me when I 'grew some nice tits and ass'.
And then… one day, Olga-sama came. She freed me and the others. She was so strong, so confident, so regal, and lived life her own way. I was instantly infatuated with her, maybe even in love. And I wanted to serve her to the best of my abilities until my dying day, because it wasn't until I met her… that my life truly began. And now… both mine and her lives aren't our own anymore. Not that it's your fault." At the end of her story, Naruto felt deeply saddened.
It was clear that Chloe had been given a bad hand in life, so much pain and misery, and then she felt some happiness… only to have it all snatched away again. "I'm awfully sorry Chloe. I don't know if I can say anything that'll make it better… but I do promise to try and give you and everyone else that lives under my roof all the happiness and care you deserve. And as soon as I find a way to free you, you can decide for yourself what you want to do with your life." At his words, the Half-elf gave a warm smile and nodded since she knew how sincere he was.
"Thank you. You're truly a wonderful soul. Is… is there anything you want me to do? I feel a bit better now." She offered since she didn't want to disappoint him. Whatever he wanted, she was sure that she could satisfy him.
He thought about it for a moment as he scratched his cheek, and then as if a light-bulb blinked over his head, he smiled and replied to her "Well… I could use a cuddle buddy if you're up for that." At his request, the Half-Elf giggled as the two laid down together in the bed with the Uzumaki pulling Chloe close to him, her bust now pressing against his chest.
"Anything else young master?" She questioned, her body relaxing as she felt his hand slowly sliding up and down the small of her back, their faces bust inches apart now as their blue and red eyes gazed into each other.
"Your master demands a good-night kiss." He spoke softly, the Half-Elf stroked a whisker marking with one of her fingers and then replied "As you wish." And then she pressed her lips to his own as they shared a soft and tender kiss. After a few moments they broke it off and allowed their eyes to slowly close as they drifted away into a comfortable sleep.
For so long, Chloe had wanted to live free and to live on her own terms like her beloved Queen… but now… a brief part of her questioned if she truly wanted freedom again… or to be with those she loved and cherished for all time. For now though, all she wanted was to enjoy the peaceful and warm embrace of her master, and see what tomorrow may bring next.
