Chapter XII: Growing Pains.

Last Time.

"Shit!" Naruto yelled as he was thrown to the back, as he was standing in the aisle before hearing an explosion. The X-Jet leveled out as Naruto looked out a window and saw Scott, and Alex use their powers to fall slowly to the ground.

BOOM!

The asteroid exploded, and fell down as two metal spheres flew out of the smoke. The X-Jet hovered around Scott and Alex as pieces of the asteroid fell down before they shot their powers straight up in the air at the asteroid, destroying it. Wolverine landed the X-Jet, everyone ran out, and saw that Scott was back to normal, and Alex's hair went blonde.

Scott opened his eyes and had to shut them quickly as they glowed red. Naruto walked over, and placed his right hand on Scott's forehead. After a moment, Naruto smiled, and stood up. "I guess when your plane crashed, and you hit your head, that damaged some very sensitive nerves in your brain, specifically towards your eyes. Scott... Would you kindly open them?"

Scott slowly opened his eyes, and nothing happened. "Ahh!" He quickly closed them, as it was too bright for him. Emma walked over, and handed him his glasses. "You're going to have to periodically take your glasses off, and get used to the light." Naruto finished as Scott sighed before looking to Emma.

"I'm sorry... Everyone." He said as Naruto waved him off as Charles rolled over. "We owe you two our lives... Alex, your powers will manifests... And we'll be there to help you along the way. Together, always unified, because we're the X-Men."

Now.

Xavier's School For The Gifted, Morning.

Naruto fell on his bed as Rogue, in her pajamas, straddled him. Naruto put his hands on her hips and rubbed her sides before she bent down, and kissed him. They paused their make-out session for a moment. "Mmm, I can definitely get used to this, sugar." Rogue said as she leaned in to lock lips once more.

Naruto grinned in the kiss before moving his hands down to grope her ass. "Hmmm." Rogue moaned before sitting up, and crossed her arms to start pulling her shirt off. As soon as Naruto saw the underside of her breasts, the door opened showing Rachel in her pants, and black bra. "Okay, okay, come on you two, we've got school."

Naruto groaned as Rogue puts her shirt back down. "Don't worry, Naruto. We'll have plenty of other opportunities." she said while turning around with a smile. Later, a fully dressed Naruto, Rogue, and Rachel walked out as Wanda, now with short hair, walked out of the bathroom by Naruto's room. "Well, what do you think?" She said twirling around as Naruto walked over.

"You look beautiful Wanda, with or without hair." Wanda snorted as she crossed her arms under her bust. "You're just saying that." Naruto shook his head before continuing. "I am not! I never fell in love with your hair, I fell in love with you." He finished, cupping her cheek in his hand. Wanda sighed happily, closing her eyes and holding onto his hand with both of hers.

A Month Later; Bayville High School.

Naruto, wearing blue lens sunglasses, black shirt, faded blue jeans with a hole in the left knee, and black boots cheered from the stands as he watches Jean play soccer. He sat down beside Rachel, and Kitty as the clock counted down from ten seconds. He lurched forward as he felt a foot push into his back.

Looking back, he smiled as he saw Wanda sitting at the last row behind him, and planted her feet beside him. She rubbed his side as the buzzer sounded off when Jean made the winning goal. Rachel grinned, and Kitty suddenly squeaked as Naruto reached behind them making him grin.

"Well then, let's go down and congratulate her." Naruto said as they made their way down passing Scott, Kurt, and Evan. Jean ran over as Naruto walked through the cheerleaders. "Hey Jean you were great out there. You want a ride home?" She shook her head as she kissed him on the cheek. "No. The Team's going out celebrating." He smiled at that before speaking.

"Really? Well, I'm certainly glad you trust me enough to be surrounded by these athletic ladies." She deadpanned at him before flicking his nose. "No you can't come, so get your mind out of the gutter." His shoulders slumped as Kitty pulled him away. "Come on, the others are leaving, and you're, like, my ride."

It's been roughly a month since the battle at Asteroid M, and things were going to get more complicated and interesting very soon for the rest of the world. Naruto remembered Magneto talking about how Mutants are going to be surfacing and catching the public's eye. As much as Naruto hated to admit it, he was right.

More and more Mutants were starting to surface everyday that it's really getting harder and harder to keep track of all of them. After the incident, things have started to get back to normal, like the Brotherhood going back to what they usually did, but Mystique, Magneto and his two acolytes Pyro and Gambit were still M.I.A.

Alex, Scott's brother, had to return to Hawaii since he still has a life back there, but he promised his brother he will come to the Institute once he is done with high school. So for now he will be practicing on controlling his powers until then. Later, Naruto drove his car as Kitty, in the passenger seat, and Rachel and Wanda, who are in the back, argued over music.

"Like, what do you think Naru-!" Kitty stopped as Naruto swerved in the next lane avoiding a speeding car being chased by several Cop cars. "Well crap." Naruto said as Scott drove past him with Kurt and Evan just as the speeding car took an exit, and crashed off the bridge. "Damn, okay, screw hiding we need to help." Naruto said as he and the girls got out, and ran to Scott and the others.

The car fell as Naruto looked to Kurt. "Get him out of there, and behind the bus under the bridge." Kurt poofed away as Scott used his beams to hit the car away from the other cars just as Kurt poofed back. Everyone grabbed hands, and Kitty phased them through a wall to wait for things to cool down.

Later, Xavier's School For The Gifted.

Naruto caught a Frisbee as a girl ran at him. She is a young fair-skinned girl with a small and petite figure. She has short red hair styled up in two small pigtails and green eyes. She's wearing a green 3/4 length sleeved, cutout shoulder top that has a turtleneck, light grey-ish white jeans and tennis shoes. "Hey Naruto." She greeted in a Scottish accent.

"Hey Rahne." Naruto threw the Frisbee behind his back having Rahne run after it, transforming into a young wolf as he walked past a boy doing acrobatics. He is a Brazilian boy with an athletic and lean frame. He has somewhat curly dark brown hair and brown eyes. He's wearing a red shirt with cream-colored accents, tan pants and brown shoes. The boy suddenly was lit on fire as the rest of his body turned black.

"Easy Roberto! I just mowed!" Naruto said walking past him. Roberto then bumped into a boy about 4'9 with a slim build. He has blue eyes and brown hair wearing a brown long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and was currently eating an apple. Naruto sighed as the boy suddenly multiplied before walking to see another boy create ice from his hands, and make a ramp at the fountain having a baseball roll of it and into his hands.

He has brown, short hair and brown eyes. He has white skin and lean physique. He's wearing a light blue, short-sleeved shirt with dark blue sleeves. He's also wearing long, light brown pants and grey trainers. He threw the ball to a blonde-haired boy wearing a black shirt under a jean jacket with ripped sleeves, and jeans who jumped for it while his legs vibrated.

And sped right into the brick wall, going through it. "Oh come on, Sam! I just fixed that wall from the last time you went through it!" Naruto yelled as he sighed. "Charles really needs to start paying me for this." He said before seeing a teen girl blow into her hand, and formed glowing balls. She's a Caucasian girl with a skinny-but-slightly-curvy figure.

She has short, wispy blonde hair with bangs and blue eyes. She's wearing makeup, pink lip-gloss, and blue nail polish. She's wearing a pink scoop tee shirt, faded blue, bell-bottom jeans with a leather belt, and black boots.

She's wearing gold cuff bangle bracelets on her right wrist and a silver upper arm swirl bangle bracelet on her left arm with a leather cord necklace. Also, she is wearing multiple rings on both hands and she has piercings on her upper and lower ears.

She threw the balls at another group of teens of two girls and one boy. The first girl is an African-American teenager with long chocolate brown hair and a tanned skin complexion. She's wearing a purple shirt under a white jean jacket, purple pants and white shoes.

The next girl has slightly tanned skin and long, straight black hair. She's wearing a white shirt under a yellow jacket, blue jeans with a belt.

The boy has blonde hair cut into a crew top with orange bangs pulled up like bolts. He's wearing a jean jacket, and a brown shirt with blue jeans. The balls exploded like firecrackers, scaring them. They all glared at the girl who first threw the energy balls. The girls hands glowed as did the boy before attacking with fire, lightning, and an energy blast forcing her to flee.

"And I thought my World was chaotic." Naruto said walking inside as the New Mutants played with their powers. "Naruto can I have a word with you?" Charles spoke in his mind as he stepped inside. "Yeah, sure." Naruto walked to Charles office where he saw Kurt, Kitty, Scott, Wanda, Rachel, and Evan walk out.

"I take it this is about earlier?" Naruto asked making them nod before everyone but the girls left. Naruto sat in a chair as Charles sighed. "First, I'm not mad that you used you pow-" Charles stopped as Naruto leaned forward. "Good, because I'm not sorry, Charles. I'll do it again and again if lives are at stake." Charles laced his fingers together before speaking.

"The people aren't ready for us." Naruto shrugged at that. "I don't care, the lives of others outweigh keeping my powers secret from the public." Naruto walked out, and saw the blonde-haired girl run inside. "No running inside, Tabitha! Don't want to ruin your good looks." The now identified Tabitha grinned as she ran up the stairs. "Nothing can ruin my looks, hot stuff!"

"Someone's got a crush~" Naruto looked to see a smirking Emma walking inside. "Can you blame her, Emma? I'm aweso... Hey, I didn't see you in school today, where were ya?" Emma shrugged as she walked upstairs. "Well if you must know, I got a different schedule this semester." Naruto then smirked.

"Oh, well I suppose the White Queen of Bayville has no need to share the schedule with us common folk." he said in a joking tone, while bowing with his arms open. Emma just looked to him with a mildly irked look. "Ha, ha, ha. That's funny coming from the Harem Master of the Xavier Institute." Naruto looked up from his mock bow and said, "Touche, Frost."

Next Day; Bayville High, School Gym.

Naruto sat beside Jean as he looked down at the Brotherhood before Rogue walked in, and sat down beside a girl with purple dyed hair. She's wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, and brown cargo pants with several rings on her fingers. Naruto smiled as he saw Rogue talk with the girl before feeling something.

"Feeling something off Kit?" Naruto sighed as he heard Kurama in his mind. "No. Just thought, for a moment there, I felt something familiar about the new girl is all." He then cut off his connection before seeing Lance sit behind Kitty. His curiosity getting the better of him, he added chakra to his ears to hear their conversation. "Oh, the walking Richter scale. Shouldn't you be erupting somewhere?" she said, making him smirk.

"That's my girl." Naruto muttered before seeing the new Principal, a man with dark grey hair wearing glasses, and has green eyes. He's wearing a suit of a blue jacket, red blue striped tie, and brown pants. Suddenly, the room shook, and Naruto picked out a coin, and flicked it at Lance getting him to stop as Kitty glared at Lance.

Lance started again having the scoreboard fall down. Principal Kelly screamed before Jean and Rachel had the board fall away from him as he jumped. "Since when is Bayville on a fault line?" Principle Kelly asked breaking the tension before continuing. "Anyway... I want to welcome you to a new school year. I know filling the void left by your previous Principal, Miss Darkholme, won't be easy."

"But it's a challenge I'm up for. And that brings me to the theme I hope will catch on... Meeting new challenges. And the second is supporting our girl's soccer team for the championship tonight!" Later, Naruto waited by his car with Rachel and Wanda inside before seeing two girls walk by before looking to them. "Hey Sandy, have you seen Jean?"

"No, I last saw her with the soccer team." Sandy replied making Naruto sigh. "And once again she didn't invite me." He said before seeing Lance at his jeep, bothering Kitty. Walking over he picked him up by the collar as he tried to grab Kitty. Naruto walked to the asphalt and looked to him. "There. We're off the school grounds. Now..."

Naruto's eyes turned red, and became slitted. "Leave her alone or you'll be eating through a straw for the rest of your life." Lance nodded in shocked fear before Naruto threw him against his jeep, and left with Kitty. Not noticing Lance glaring at his back.

Night; Bayville High, Soccer field.

Naruto, his girls minus Jean, and the others sat at the front row with Rogue standing by the railing in front of Naruto. "I'm loving the view, Rogue." Rogue smiled leaning forward as Evan brought Charles beside them. Naruto look as Principle Kelly introduced the home team, and a statue of their Eagle mascot before walking off of the field.

Just as the game started, they heard Lance's voice over the speakers. "Excuse me folks." Naruto look above the announcer's booth, and saw the Brotherhood in their costumes as Lance explained what Mutants are, and gave out the names of who. "Well shit... Cat's out of the bag now." Naruto said picking up his backpack as did the others to change in their costumes as Avalanche continued splitting the field in half.

When they came back, Naruto saw Blob picking up the Eagle statue before Cyclopes shot it out of his hands on to the Gym roof. "Okay, Phoenix, stop Quicksilver. Shadowcat, Spyke take out the cameras, Scarlet Witch..." Naruto said looking at Wanda with an 'X' belt that's hanging lopsided off her hip.

"Mess with their powers as we get the people out of here." Naruto pulled his staff out, and ran to help people evacuate before looking to see Rogue touch Blob as he lifted the bleachers at the Gym. When he dropped it, Naruto ran as he saw Shadowcat help her out. Naruto looked up, and saw the Eagle fall just as Rogue ran to help, leaving Shadowcat as she helped the last person out of the rubble.

"KITTY!" Naruto flashed to her, and pushed her out of the way having the statue fall on him. "Naruto!" She screamed seeing him pinned under the statute unconscious with a large bruise on his forehead. She ran over, and used her powers to phase him out as Storm flew overhead, and made it rain putting the fires out.

As Naruto came too, he saw Charles using his powers to make everyone forget about Avalanche exposing them before he collapsed.

Later, Med Bay; Xavier's School For The Gifted.

Naruto leaned against the wall with a bag of ice over his bruise, as Charles came too with Scott, Logan, and Ororo by his bed. "How much got out?" He asked as Logan spoke. "None. Seems there was... 'Magnetic' interference just before Lance spoke up." Charles looked down for a moment. "Erik..." Naruto nodded before speaking. "Yeah, I guess he doesn't want anything to get out either... At least not yet."

"I hope Lance and the others realize the World isn't ready, yet. My main concern is Principal Kelly... I was in his mind when I black out, and I'm not sure I finished the job."

Night.

That night, Naruto was heading back to his room, when he suddenly got pulled through the wall. A pair of lips then immediately greeted him onto his lips. When the need for air came up, Naruto released his lips to find Kitty with a grateful smile on her face. "Whoa, Kitty, what's gotten you so frisky?" he asked. "What can I say? When a guy saves me not once, but twice in, like, one night I can't help but give him some kind of reward."

She said while having her arms hang loosely on top of his shoulders. Naruto looked at her with a gentle smile and wrapped his arms around her hips. "Just knowing your safe is reward enough for me." he said, rubbing his nose with hers. "Well then, how about a thank you?" she asked. "Seriously Kitty, you don't need to-Mmph!?"

Naruto was cut off as Kitty jumped on him, wrapping her arms and legs around his torso, and wrapping her lips around his while also having her tongue join in. Shocked and running on instinct at this point, Naruto held onto her by groping her ass, causing Kitty to squeak. After a couple of minutes passed, the couple separated.

"Wow, that's one hell of a thank you, Kitty." Naruto said while walking with Kitty to her room. "Well, like I said, I wanted to thank you for saving me twice today. By the way Naruto, what did you, like, say to Lance to make him look so scared?" she asked. Naruto then paused as they arrived at her room, seeing Rogue already in bed. "I'll...tell you about it some other time." he said, with Kitty giving him a inquiring look, tilting her head slightly.

"Ookaay? Goodnight then, Naruto." she said, kissing him on the cheek. "Goodnight, Kitty." he said, as she closed the door. Naruto enters his room, closes the door and sighs. "You know, you're going to have to tell them eventually, right?" Naruto looked to see Kurama sitting at the edge of his bed.

"I know, but it's not going to be as cut and dry as it was with Jean and Rachel, since we were all in the same situation. As far as Wanda, Kitty, and Rogue know, you're my pet fox that I grew up with when I came here. I mean, it's not like I can bring up the fact that you're a demon that's housed within me. And who knows how they'll react if I ever have to...'go fox' in battle."

Naruto stops when he sees Kurama giving him a look that asks, 'really?'. "You know what I mean. Look, I will tell them, hopefully soon, but right now, it's been a long night. I just want to get some sleep." he said as he went into the bathroom, brushed his teeth, changed into his pajamas, and lies in his bed.

"Fair enough. Until that time comes, have a goodnight, Kit." Kurama says while curling up at the edge of the bed. "Goodnight, Kurama." Naruto said, turning off the light.
