Chapter 19
On with the story
Two figures sat at a table playing a game of chess. Both wore dressed in full shinobi uniform with the distinguishing Leaf village headband covering their forehead. One of them stared long and hard at the board before casting his glance to the side to observe an approaching figure, a black haired women with red eyes.
"Oi Kurenai, that late already?" The man asked while looking up at the sky.
He'd been so engrossed in the game he'd barely noticed the sun go down. Kurenai was holding two grocery bags in one hand. She stopped in front of the two while giving them a pleasant expression.
"Can't even keep track of time Demi?" Kurenai responded back light heartedly, causing the man to let out a soft chuckle. He gave a two fingered salute.
"Yea yea. Before you ask, he's fine. Came back on time, no incidents." The man reported while glancing back down to the chess board.
Kurenai nodded before walking past him in and the other shinobi.
"Thank you. Knight to C4. Checkmate in 3." Kurenai called out as she opened the door to the apartment building that the two shinobi were guarding.
The other figure, a chubby dark haired man let out an annoyed grunt.
"Come on Kurenai, I had him this time. He didn't even see it." The man complained, catching Kurenai's amused smirk as she disappeared into the apartment building. Naruto's apartment building.
Kurenai took the usual route up the stairs, making her way through the rat and roach infested complex to her destination, Naruto's door.
When arriving Kurenai didn't bother knocking, she knew it would be open. She entered calmly, turning around to close the door and lock it.
Naruto's apartment was pretty barren. The living room was almost empty except for one small dining table with two chairs. The kitchen, which was connected to the living room, was damn near spotless despite it also being rather empty. Kurenai walked into the kitchen and set her bags down on the counter, opening the refrigerator door. A small sigh escaped her lips.
There was food within glass containers still in the fridge, exactly where she left it. He still hadn't eaten any of it. Kurenai turned around to reach into one of the grocery bags, taking out a few grocery items and placing them into the fridge. Those items were mostly for herself. After emptying the bag she picked up the other bag and left the kitchen, heading now to Naruto's room.
The door was closed, though not all the way. Kurenai knocked lightly against the wood.
"Sweety may I come in?" Kurenai asked in a completely different tone in which she spoke to the shinobi outside.
Her voice was now gentle and soothing. She was met with silence.
"I'm not going to come in unless you give me permission, out loud." Kurenai warned.
There was silent for another moment before a tiny voice finally spoke up.
"C-come in." The voice squeaked, causing a tender, solemn smile to grow along Kurenai's painted lips.
Hearing his voice told her a lot, but she found many ways to make him speak. She knew he didn't want to.
Kurenai slowly opened the door, closing it behind her. She walked towards the small twin sized bed in the center of the room where a small body lay.
Naruto was laying on his side, staring at the room wall in silence. Kurenai noticed his gloomy mood. The same as always. She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and instantly moved a hand down to slide slender fingers across Naruto's cheek to eventually entangle those digits within the effeminate tween's silky blonde hair.
"You didn't even change out of these rags." Kurenai commented matter of factly while observing that Naruto still wore that oversized orange jumpsuit.
She could tell that as soon as he got home he came to the bed and just laid there for hours.
Naruto didn't say anything in response to her comment. Though he did respond to her touch, closing his eyes and subtly leaning his head into her massaging fingers. Kurenai maintained a gentle gaze before leaning down and placing a gentle kiss against his forehead. For some reason he seemed to respond well to that gesture.
As soon as the kiss landed on his forehead Naruto let out a soft, comfortable sigh, tearing his eyes from the wall to look up at Kurenai, his gaze just as sad as always.
"Let's get ready for bed Sweety. I heard you had an eventful day." The woman whispered.
Naruto hesitated for a moment before finally sitting up. Kurenai idly glanced at the way the top half of the jumpsuit hung so loosely from his shoulders. She shook her head lightly while reaching forward to unzip the jacket.
"Iruka told me what happened but I'd like to hear your perspective if that's ok." Kurenai continued after unzipping his jumpsuit completely.
She placed her hands on his small shoulders and slid the garment down to reveal the silky white tank top that Naruto wore underneath. This was completely different from what he usually wore underneath that jacket. Before meeting Kurenai Naruto wore a plain black T-shirt. Things had changed since Kurenai entered the picture.
The top Naruto wore was meant for a girl his age. It was sleeveless, only two thin spaghetti straps to hold it up, revealing Naruto's skinny yet slightly pudgy arms.
Knowing what was to come next Naruto sat on his butt, raising his legs slightly. Without missing a beat Kurenai reached both her hands down to grip the band of Naruto's jumpsuit pants. She pulled them down and away from his slender legs, tossing both pieces of that orange outfit into the laundry basket that was inside the nearby closet.
When those pants were pulled from Naruto's body his exceptionally wide hips were revealed, covered by a silky pair of matching white panties. The panties had a little pink bow design on the front. After stripping Naruto, Kurenai placed her hands along his hips, thumbing affectionately into his smooth skin.
With very little struggle Kurenai lifted Naruto's tiny form up, the woman scooting back on the bed a bit in order to settle his pantie-clad rump between her legs. Now they were both sitting on the edge of the bed, both their legs dangling off the side of the bed, Naruto's back facing her, her pelvis pressing into his backside. Kurenai squeezed her thighs around his hips, reaching off to the side into the grocery bag in order to pull out a large comb.
Naruto raised up both his scrawny arms to grab a bunch of his own hair, positioning the thick locks to the side a bit. Kurenai gave a satisfied smile, gathering up his hair in one of her hands as Naruto presented the strands to her. With her free hand Kurenai began to comb through the silky mane gently.
"Start from the beginning." Kurenai instructed.
Naruto turned his head to the side to gaze upon her in hesitation before nodding and bowing his head lightly in thought.
"I...I saw Hinata first." He whispered in a barely audible high pitched voice.
Kurenai maintained a gentle smile, keeping quiet to allow him to continue. Seeing this Naruto took his time before going on.
"She was nice...like aways." The boy continued.
As Naruto went over his day the two stayed atop the bed with Kurenai slowly grooming his hair. She was very patient, which was a godsend because Naruto took quite a bit of time to explain things, taking multiple long pauses throughout his summary of the day. Kurenai would ask follow-up questions to press him for more details, anything to keep him talking.
That went on for a while. Before they knew it an hour had passed, the sun having fully gone down by now. Kurenai glanced out of the one window in the room to see the street lights coming on.
"Ok Naru-chan, shower time. After that I wanted to show you something. I got you a gift." Kurenai whispered while placing her brush to the side and wrapping both her arms around Naruto's waist.
She leaned her chin along his shoulder, again, something she'd discovered he responded very well to. The past few weeks had been a lot of experimenting on Kurenai's part ever since she was assigned to be Naruto's guardian. She fought for this position, being rather upfront and insistent towards the Hokage.
Naruto closed his eyes and nuzzled his cheek into hers, resting his arms over hers and letting out a comfortable sigh. She has holding him like his Mother did so often.
Behind the two a ghostly figure laid restfully on her back across Naruto's bed. Kyuubi had been there the entire time, watching like she always did. In fact before Kurenai arrived Kyuubi had been cuddling her son in her physical form. Of course she always disappeared before Kurenai would ever see her. Kyuubi turned to her side, resting the side of her head along her forearms as one of her eyebrows raised. This should be exciting.
Kurenai had gotten Naruto quite a few "gifts" since becoming his guardian. Mostly clothing, and a few things for Naruto's apartment. While most of Naruto's apartment was barren, Naruto's room now had many additional items. A desk and lamp, fluffy white bed sheets and pillows. Even a new mattress. Naruto's dresser and closest were filled with new clothes. She'd even got him new Kunai and kunai pouches, all out of her own paycheck.
Kyuubi of course didn't mind Kurenai investing so much time with her son. As a demon jealousy was a foreign concept. Her son was being taken care of, that's all that mattered. There was only one problem, a problem she was still tentatively bringing up in short bursts. Though for now she wanted her son to enjoy the small moments and not dwell on grander issues. Kyuubi was always thinking very, very far ahead.
When Kurenai mentioned the gift Naruto turned his head to the side to gaze upon her face inquisitively.
"A gift?" Naruto questioned in that sweet voice.
Kurenai smiled warmly before leaning forward to kiss his nose. The gesture caused a small blush to tint his cheeks, the tiniest, subtlest hint of a smile forming across his lips. Kurenai couldn't help the look of satisfaction that appeared on her face.
"I'll show you Naru-chan, but only after the shower. You're so impatient." The woman teased while squeezing his waist affectionately.
Naruto bowed his head in embarrassment and nodded his head in understanding.
Naruto didn't ignore the fact that Kurenai was essentially treating him like a girl and even referring to him as a girl. Quite frankly it wasn't much different from the way his mother had treated him ever since she adopted him. Being referred to as a girl was...new. But functionally, the different in how he was treated was very small. It was nice to have anyone investing in him, especially during these times where he felt so vulnerable and lost.
"Go, I'm going to take care of a few things." Kurenai instructed causing Naruto to nod his head obediently again.
He tentatively stood up and prepared to walk away, though not before turning around and leaning forward to wrap his arms around Kurenai's neck, engulfing her in a passionate hug. Kurenai embraced him gladly before giving his little butt a small pat.
"Hurry Sweety." She whispered softly, causing Naruto to nod his head, the little tween pulling away and turning around.
As he did, he caught the glance of his mother.
"Careful Sweetheart. You know what can happen if you grow too close." Kyuubi warned with concern evident in her voice.
Naruto nodded his head solemnly while sauntering towards the door to the room.
"I know." Naruto spoke quietly through the link as he made it to the door.
When he grabbed the handle and opened the door Naruto stole a glance back toward Kurenai and the ghostly form of his mother behind her. They were both watching him. He bowed his head before closing the door behind him.
Kurenai found it fascinating the way in which Naruto moved. For such a frail and vulnerable thing the boy held a sensuality that was rather surprising for someone his age. Naruto's hips moved like his mother's, swaying sultrily from side to side. Even in his emotionally vulnerable state Naruto couldn't help moving in the same way he always did, if only just a bit more meek than usual. Kurenai was kind of amazed that he managed to pass for a boy this entire time.
She did hear that he acted completely differently at school. The only way to tell that this Naruto was a boy was by seeing him naked, and she didn't think he was old enough for any of his classmates to have seen him naked. Kurenai mused about these things in fascination as she took out a scroll from the nearby dresser. She was to report on her progress with Naruto and kept a daily journal.
When Naruto entered the bathroom he closed the door behind him and locked it, the boy lowering his hands to shimmy his panties down his slender legs and step out of them. The effeminte tween then raised his arms just as a pair of furry hands pressed against his hips. Delicate fingers slid up Naruto's petite form, tracing his curves until they were able to grab the bottom hem of his silky tank-top and pull the garment up and off of the blonde.
When Naruto turned around he was met with the fiery red slitted eyes of his mother in her physical form, the woman being completely naked. The faucet to the shower began to turn seemingly on it's own, guided by an unseen force. Naruto grabbed her hand as she guided him into the shower with her. As their naked forms were peppered with warm water Kyuubi squeezed some shampoo into her palm before dipping both her hands into Naruto's hair to massage into his scalp. The sweet smelling shampoo and soap was another gift from Kurenai.
"I'm not trying to ruin your fun Sweetheart. I hope you know that." Kyuubi explained, causing Naruto to turn around to face her.
He raised one dainty hand in front of her. Kyuubi smiled tenderly before reaching down to take Naruto's hand into her own. The woman then bent down to place a long, lingering kiss against the back of it.
"Please don't worry about that mother. I already know the danger of growing too close to humans." Naruto explained in a neutral tone.
Kyuubi stared into his eyes as she kissed his hand, the woman taking time to kiss each one of his knuckles before pulling back.
"Of course Sweetheart. You know I worry. I want you to be able to enjoy yourself." The women went on while returning both her hands to Naruto's hair.
Naruto glanced off to the side thoughtfully.
"I do enjoy her affection. I can do that while still realizing that it can't last." He replied before pausing. "Her affection...it's nice but it's not what I truly want. What I need. There is only one person's affection I truly seek right now, besides you." The boy continued as his face began to scrunch up.
He wrapped his arms around his belly, just thinking about her, about not having HER, it was almost too much.
Kyuubi nodded in understanding, pulling Naruto's head into her naked breasts as she continued to massage his scalp and lather his hair.
"I know Baby. I know." She cooed.
"How much longer. I don't think I can take this much longer. If I don't see her soon I'll...I'll…" Naruto whimpered as a small trail of tears began to flow down his cheek.
Kyuubi stopped her massage, grabbing Naruto around the waist and pulling him down as she sat down in the bathtub with her legs crossed. She settled Naruto down on her lap while the shower water continued to rain down on them.
Kyuubi didn't speak, the woman tenderly cradling her baby while looking past his shoulders, letting him sob in her arms. Despite this Kyuubi had a subtle smile along her face.
"He's almost ready Midnight."
A while later...
Naruto stood in front of the bathroom mirror by himself wrapping a large towel around his head in a honeycomb. As he did this a knock rattled against the bathroom door.
"Are you decent Naru-chan?" Came the voice of Kurenai from the other side.
Naruto glanced towards the door hesitantly. He had a pink towel wrapped around his waist.
"I...yes." The boy stated.
As he whispered those words Kurenai opened the door holding the same bag. When she looked upon Naruto the women's expression softened. She shook her head lightly.
"I thought you said you were decent?" Kurenai said in exasperation while grabbing a larger towel from the nearby towel bar.
She stood behind Naruto and unwrapped his towel, completely revealing his naked body to her eyes. Kurenai placed his towel to the side before replacing it with the larger towel. Instead of having the towel wrapped around his waist Kurenai wrapped it around his chest, letting it flow down and cover his entire body in the same way a woman would wear a towel.
"Now you are decent." She explained while securing the towel by tucking it inward properly.
Naruto noted the technique, nodding his head in understanding.
"Oh...ok." He spoke gently with his arms still raised, the boy finishing up tying the other towel around his head in the way in which Kurenai had taught him.
These practices weren't something that he'd ever learned because his mother was a demon. After bathing he'd simply go to bed naked and dried off naturally or with demon fire. These practices were human, not that relevant to a demon's life. Hell, most of the time he bathed in the river. But really even that wasn't necessary. Demons bathed in fire. Soap, water, shampoo, these were all extra unnecessary things. Though they were nice.
Kyuubi was definitely enjoying Kurenai teaching Naruto these practices. Kyuubi, having lived on the human plane for over a thousand years, of course knew of these practices but she rarely engaged in them herself. At least not until recently.
"So about that gift." Kurenai spoke up while dropping the bag on the nearby toilet seat.
Naruto stayed silent, not being able to help his curiosity.
"I was a bit surprised when you said your favorite color was black. It's so different from the bright orange you always wear." She went on before taking out an outfit from the bag.
"I thought I'd get you something more appropriate. No more hiding who you are." Kurenai said while holding the outfit in front of Naruto.
The boy's eyes widened in shock, grabbing the top and holding it in front of his chest with teary eyes.
"T-thank you." He spoke in a hitched voice.
Kurenai looked down at him in satisfaction before pulling out something else from the bag.
"There is more. Drop your towel Sweety." She instructed.
Without hesitation Naruto reached behind his back to unfasten the towel and let it fall freely from his body, revealing his naked form once more.
At first Naruto was embarrassed to be naked in front of Kurenai but he had been slowly getting used to it. When she first became his guardian he was all but useless. He had no will to move, leave the bed, eat, or even bathe himself. So Kurenai helped him for a while. He only recently became well enough to do those things on his own. She could tell he was getting better. At least by the standards she used to judge his mental health. Unbenounced to her Naruto's mental state, while changing and appearing to improve, wasn't improving quite along the lines she perceived.
When Naruto's naked figure was revealed Kurenai kneeled down to press a small garment against his ankles. Instantly Naruto lifted up one foot, then the other, stepping into a pair of cottony panties that Kurenai began to shimmy up his body and settle around those wide hips of his. These panties had innocent polka dot designs on them.
Kurenai then held out something in front of Naruto's face, it looked like a roll of tape but the material was a white cloth.
"Do you know what this is?" Kurenai questioned.
Naruto shook his head. Kurenai didn't think he would. She moved her free hand forward to begin unwrapping the roll.
"Lift your arms." The women commanded.
Naruto instantly complied. As he did Kurenai began to wrap the cloth around his chest, making several loops before finally settling a sticky end securely along his side. Naruto tilted his head as he looked in the mirror.
"These are bindings. Many female shinobi wear them underneath their uniform. It helps keep their breasts still and secure. Depending on the size of the shinobi's breasts she would even appear to be flat chested." Kurenai explained while wrapping her arms around Naruto's waist.
Naruto's eyes widened when realizing where she was going with this, a harsh blush spreading across his cheeks. That reaction drew a very large knowing grin from the women.
She then helped him into the outfit she got for him. It was similar to the outfit that many female shinobi wore. Black cargo pants with a strap to hold a kunai pouch. The pants were exceptionally tight however, hugging the boys legs, hips and ass rather closely.
"No need to be ashamed of what you have. From now on you get to be yourself. No more hiding." Kurenai whispered while trailing a palm along one his rump, feeling along the tight fabric.
Naruto glanced back at her tentatively but didn't say anything, letting the woman do as she pleased.
Initially Kurenai was very surprised to find out that Naruto was a boy. She immediately assumed that despite being a boy, he desired to be more feminine. This theory of hers was solidified in her mind when she discovered that Naruto acted completely different at school. She came to the conclusion that he hid who he was at school because he didn't think he'd be accepted. Allowing him to embrace his feminine side was one way she thought she could help him heal.
At least that's the way she explained it to the Hokage. Secretly...her intentions were a bit more selfish. Honestly, she just thought he looked cute. It helped that Naruto seemed to genuinely enjoy her treatment. Plus he never complained, making Kurenai grow more bold in her feminization of the boy.
"Fits perfectly." She cooed while securing the top of that outfit over Naruto's torso.
It was a dark fishnet shirt similar to what Midnight wore. It was slightly see-through so the bindings that Naruto wore were visible. It cut off at the waist, the contrast between the dark fabric of that shirt and Naruto's fair skin doing even more to accentuate his wide hips. The last garment was a shinobi vest, lined with many pockets. It also cut off around the waist. It was rather heavy, a small bit of plating sewn into the material for extra protection of the torso.
"Is it too heavy?" Kurenai asked in concern.
Naruto shook his head. Despite there being no muscle really visible on Naruto's petite frame the boy had the strength of a demon. Kurenai, nodding in a pleased fashion, taking some time to strap a kunai pouch to Naruto's leg. She filled his vest with various things. A few more weapons, a first aid kit, a needle and thread. It was rather efficient as a garment.
"Now this...well, I just liked this and thought of you when I saw it. You don't have to wear it if you don't want to. You don't have to wear any of this if you don't like it." Kurenai stated while idly shuffling through the bag.
Naruto couldn't take his eyes off the mirror. He looked completely different than his "dobey" self. The outfit did well to highlight his every curve and almost every detail of his feminine figure.
After some shuffling around Kurenai finally retrieved that item. It was a small black hair clip. Very simple and not flashy, but still very feminine. Kurenai grabbed a few bits of Naruto's bangs and slid the hair clip into place. The bright blonde of Naruto's hair made that hairclip all the more notable.
Finally done Kurenai stepped away, moving to the side out of the frame of the mirror so Naruto stood their by himself.
"Do you like it? It's my first try. Please tell me if you don't. If you think it's too much I could get something else." Kurenai blabbered on, the woman raising a hand to lightly rub through her own hair nervously.
Naruto shifted his weight to one hip, wrapping his arms around his belly idly and canting his head to the side. There was a small smile painted across his luscious lips.
"Demons don't get jealous...but I'm jealous." Kyuubi commented in a huff.
Hearing his mother speak that way caused a soft giggle to erupt from Naruto's throat. He raised a dainty hand in front of his lips and closed his eyes, trying and failing to stifle his joyous laughter. Kurenai was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the effeminate boy. She had never heard him laugh.
Naruto's laughter was angelic, pure, innocent. He turned to Kurenai with a sweet smile.
"I like it." He whispered with a soft blush.
Kurenai grinned brightly, the woman nodding her head.
"I'll make sure to get more like it. You'll need a change of clothes throughout the week." She insisted.
"You look...so pretty...Naruto-kun…or should I say, Naruto-chan." Spoke a weak voice from inside Naruto's head.
The boy's eyes widened when hearing that voice.
"Midnight! You can see me?" He questioned quickly.
He hadn't heard from Midnight all day. These talks were becoming less frequent.
"Yes...so pretty." She whispered in a fading voice.
Naruto's face immediately showed his distress.
He closed his eyes and released a breath to calm himself before slowly opening his lids into a saucy, half lidded gaze. The tween then began to twirl around in place to model his outfit. After a moment he came to a stop, raising his scrawny arms up to delve slender fingers within his own hair. Naruto fluffed up those golden locks teasingly while fluttered his lashes towards the mirror. In response to that display Naruto heard a low growl resound through the demonic link.
"When I get..out of here...I'm going to ravish you." The girl's voice rumbled out lustfully.
She sounded much stronger as she spoke that sentence. Naruto nodded his head before placing two perfectly trimmed digits against his lips and blowing a kiss into the mirror. The last thing Naruto heard before the connection was severed was Midnight's pleased purring.
Kurenai watched the entire scene with an expression of confusion and disbelief. Where did this sudden behavior come from?
When Midnight's presence was gone Naruto's posture completely changed. His shoulders dropped, the boy squeezing his arms around his body in a vulnerable manner. Tears streamed from his eyes, the effeminate adolescent dropping to his knees and sobbing quietly to himself.
Kurenai was completely at a loss. She didn't understand at all what was going on. But Naruto was crying, she needed to comfort him. The woman darted forward quickly and dropped to her knees as well, embracing his small body and pulling him into her.
"Shhh, it's ok...it's ok." She whispered.
Naruto sobbed quietly into her covered breasts.
"Midnight...please come back to me."
Somewhere far away…
Midnight now stared up at the ceiling, still strapped to that table. She was alone. One of the few moments of reprieve from her torment. There was a device poking into her ribs, a drill that was constantly rotating into her flesh. It was supposed to prevent her from sleeping. She hadn't had a good night sleep in two weeks. Despite the drill she did manage to rest, the pain numbing after a while.
Her mind wandered, the girl's thoughts now completely fixated on the image of Naruto's modeling and tantalizing movements.
Both her tails were strapped down to the table, one of them had it's tip cut off. It was in the process of growing back. A process which was made much slower because her chakra was restricted. Her other tail, while holding a few bruises and scratches, was relatively fine.
Midnight moved that tail, testing the bindings. It was bound by a chain snaking around most of the length. With a small grunt Midnight lashed her tail upward, completely destroying the chains that bound the limb. Metal flew all across the room, clincking about. With her tail free Midnight looked down at the tip with a pleased smirk before sliding the furry appendage down her belly, across her pelvis, to finally sneak under the band of her panties. The girl then arched her back, a sensual moan escaping her lips.
"Thank you My Love."
Thanks for reading! Please review~
So like I said, Naruto is staying a boy and everyone is going to keep referring to him as a boy. But he is still staying very feminine and is even going to crossdress a lot. I think of it like Haku. During shinobi activities he'll probably be more androneous but definitely a boy. During private times with Midnight and Kurenai he'll crossdress because they think it's cute. That's my middle ground~ Hope you guys enjoy.
