"What the..."

Rias whispered as she watched Naruto walk around the school, and he was missing his arm. She wondered if it was related to the new girl that started to show up to school that was in the same year as him. She could barely hold back her confusion and concern when she saw her hero was down one of his arms.

Everyone swarmed Naruto to ask him about it.

Akeno put her hand on her chin and lifted it back up for her, since her jaw had dropped when she saw the missing arm.

-During Lunch-

"So... Naruto-chan..."

"Uh oh, that is a cutesy tone you're using." Naruto was eating his lunch with Asia, and he was forcing her to eat the same amount as she ate for breakfast. Akeno just joined the table, while Asia was too busy forcing herself to eat to notice. "So, you going to ask about the arm then?" Naruto asked as he grinned at his rolled back sleeve.

Akeno nodded with a smile.

"Yes, since not long ago, you were right handed."

"Pffft..." Naruto held back a laugh when she put it that way. She didn't hold back at making fun of him, despite the way everyone else was trying to help him out. He was amused by the way she phrased it. "... long story short, sometimes I don't think things through all the way." Naruto explained with a shrug of his shoulders.

That was all there was to it.

He made a rash choice based on previous experiences, without thinking about how his life would be after all was said and done. It was simply been a highly emotional moment, and he got caught up in the emotions of it all. He wanted to prove a point, and while he did have a plan for helping Asia. In the long run, he blamed his lack of maturity for his rash choice.

"So... it was an accident..."

"No, I cut it off on purpose... and when I went back to go get the arm to reattach it, I couldn't find it... then again, I threw it off a tall building... maybe it just went splat." Naruto waved his fork around. His grandfather had tried his best to find the arm for him, but no matter where they looked, the arm was just gone. "Is that all you're eating?" Naruto asked as he looked at Akeno's home made lunch.

She didn't eat a lot for a girl her size.

"Actually... Rias made too much, so she asked me if I wanted it... but I already ate." Akeno lied through her teeth.

She was an expert liar.

Rias didn't make it at all, she made it herself, but she was loyal to Rias and wanted to give her a helping hand. She passed the lunch towards Naruto the second she noticed that he had finished eating. He had a massive appretite compared to the other boys at the school, and she glanced over at the new girl.

Asia.

"I... need to go lay down." Asia stood up with a hand over her mouth.

Naruto grabbed her skirt and pulled on it, lifting it up and showing everyone her panties. She yelped when he yanked her backwards, before he sat her down right next to him again. She had red cheeks and wide eyes.

"Finish eating... everything." Naruto told her.

Asia groaned.

"So cruel... I do enjoy this side of you. If you want, later we can... explore this side of you." Akeno whispered as she leaned on the table. She rested her breasts against the hard surface, and allowed them to show off their side. She watched as he looked at the bulk of her breasts with a passive face for a moment. "... Unaffected by that huh?" Akeno muttered to herself.

Naruto heard.

"No, but if you're not showing cleavage when you do that, it doesn't have the same impact. Anyway, I've..." Naruto stopped what he was saying.

He was almost about to admit to peeking at girls at the bathhouse, both in Kuoh and back at his family school. He had experience peeking at girls and not getting caught, so he had seen his fair share of boobs before. He always made sure to not get caught by either his granny or Tsunade on the rare chance that she bathed with the students in the bathhouse.

"You've?"

"I've got to learn when not to say anything..." Naruto grabbed Asia by the skirt again. "... lunch lasts another 15 minutes... go run laps." Naruto told her. Asia only groaned, but she nodded as he let go of her. With that done, he started to eat the lunch that Akeno offered him. "... Wow... this is..."

"Amazing?"

"Average..." Naruto stated, since Rias wasn't around to hear the comment about her cooking. "It tastes good, but honestly, this is just average cooking. It still tastes good... but I wouldn't call it amazing... well... to some people this might be amazing... since it was made by Rias." Naruto cold see why a personal bias towards Rias would make the food made by her taste better than it actually was.

Akeno froze for a moment, her smile just frozen in place.

"... Average?"

"Yeah, she didn't consider the fact that some dishes should only be served hot, and with boxed lunches like this... that doesn't work. See, this dish tastes best cold, but this dish tastes best hot." Naruto pointed to the different dishes. "I can't heat this lunch up, without ruining part of the lunch... and I can't eat it cool without it affecting the taste too." Naruto continued on without looking at Akeno.

Said girl was just silently seething.

"Oh... and what else makes it average?"

"This entire meal is salt based... that is too much salt in one meal. See, she should have topped the rice with a little bit of sugar... and sprinkle it with cinnamon. That way when you can have something sweet while enhancing the saltiness... and if she cooked the rice with some milk in it, that would have just enhanced the entire experience further." Naruto talked about the food with Akeno, a large smile on his face. He never stopped actually eating the food as he spoke, because despite his comments, it still tasted good.

Just the average kind of good.

"Oh..."

"Sorry if this is boring to you... my granny always made sure that the school I went to had the best meals... the body needs sugar too, so she ALWAYS made sure our lunches had something sweet in them... and she just praised cinnamon as a legendary spice... when you eat salt, you also need sugar she said." Naruto finished off the lunch and put the lid back on it, still unaware that Akeno was covering her frown by holding her interlinking hands together in front of it.

Akeno was quiet for several moments after he spoke.

"Fuck you."

"What was that?"

"Fuck, you're right... I'll be sure to tell Rias-"

"Oh, don't tell her that! Don't tell her any of this... if she asks, tell her I said it was the best food I've ever eaten..." Naruto quickly told Akeno.

She froze again.

"... and why is that?"

"I can tell she worked really hard on this, and I don't want to make her feel bad. I can't help it, I'm a guy... I want her to know I appreciate the food." Naruto told Akeno, unaware that Akeno was taking it a very different way.

-Later that Night-

"Akeno?"

"Taste this." Akeno offered Rias a bite of rice with a dead serious frown. Rias raised an eyebrow, before she took a bite.

...

"It's really good!"

"Fuck..." Akeno whispered as she took a bite, and she realized that she had been outdone. Naruto had told her the truth, because she could easily imagine how this rice would have enhanced the food she made. She did not want to hear Rias compliment the rice, she wanted her to say it was worse than usual. "Average... average..." Akeno repeated under her breath with her eye twitching.

"You seem upset."

"I'm fine... would you call my cooking amazing?"

"Of course."

'I see... personal bias...' Akeno regret telling Naruto that Rias made the food, because that meant he would be honest in a way that he might not have been if she had been honest herself. "... Tomorrow's lunch is going to be different." Akeno spoke to Rias.

"A change is always nice." Rias agreed that it sounded nice.

Akeno nodded.

She was going to force Naruto to say her food was delicious!
