Chapter 9

Is it just me or do people love my story? I now have over 120 reviews and counting! Well people, I must say that I love you and I give you another chapter of this story while I almost ignore my others but what can I say? I just love Naruto and I'm feeling inspired. I will now introduce more of the NWC before the real fun of Furikan high begins!

Disclaimer: It's all mine comprende! ALL MINE! All of the whole plot belongs to my brain which I own! However anything related to the characters and basic universes isn't mine thus I make no money. DAMN!

Now let the story begin!

The next morning the whole neighbourhood was awakened by the surprised shout Ranma released when he found himself in the middle of a human sandwich.

'Hikari is going to kill me.' He thought as he looked to his left where his wife was awakening. 'And if she doesn't it's Akane who's going to do it!' He thought resigned as he saw the other participant in their late night activities awakening. 'I'm screwed. . .literally!' He added for himself as a last joke so he would go with a smile.

"Ranma. . ." Hikari said as she stretched to get the soreness out of her system. "Good morning." She finished as she completed the motion right in front of her husband who looked like a deer caught in the headlight.

"Err. . .morning. . ." He answered dumbly. Hikari smiled and got up from the futon they had used. The other bundle started moving as well and Ranma braced himself for the coming murder.

"Ranma. . ." Akane started as she too stretched to ease her soreness. "Morning." She said simply making him look right at her and quickly closing his eyes.

"Well, he's reverted to being shy around women!" Hikari said as she rolled her eyes.

"He's always acted like this you know." Akane shook her head slowly.

"I guess we'll have to train him some more." Hikari said before she regained her place glued to Ranma's side. Akane joined her on the other side almost immediately.

The children awakened at the first shout and Tori, who had stepped out of bed from the racket, found two kunai pressed at his throat.

"Breakfast?" He asked the two boys who simply nodded. They let the heavily sleeping Ryoma to his dreams of pancakes and went down the stairs.

What they found in the kitchen was something the made Tori fear for his life and Naruto look expectant. Ranko and Sakura had taken upon themselves to cook the meal and it had turned into a competition.

"Oh god no!" Tori's expression went from a normally constituted Nerima martial artist with a teenager's stomach to the look of a prey taken by surprise by the predator. He wanted to flee for his life but his sister had already tied him to a chair. Naruto was waiting expectantly while Sasuke was actually enjoying the show.

"Toorii! You're going to eat it all understand?" Ranko commanded. The plate was already melting from the juices the thing had produced. Even Sasuke retreated a bit from sheer revulsion. That had to be the most sadistic way to train your body to resist poisons. A bit of time in hell seemed like a very sweet and merciful thing as long as they didn't feed you this kind of chemical waste.

Naruto was given something he dreamed about at night, something so wonderful he had classified it as the second marvel of his world, the first being Sakura. What was even better was Sakura serving him a bowl of what had to be a meal fit for a king, or rather an hokage. She served him an extra large bowl of beef and shrimp ramen! He took a careful bite, trying to savour the taste as long as possible. His eyes took a shine of their own as his already wide smile turned into an expression of complete beatitude.

"This. . .is. . .MARVELOUS! Sakura-chan, you make the best Ramen ever!" Naruto exclaimed as he was tackled to the ground for a very welcomed kiss. The Ramen looked mightily nice to Tori who was being fed through the parlé de foi gras and didn't dare say a word or open his mouth for fear of being fed the slop his sister had cooked up.

Sasuke stepped outside to train in the courtyard and found Fey Briz holding a box from her ramen store.

"Ohayo Airen! You take Fey Briz on date yes?" The amazon asked. Sasuke only grunted as he moved to take a stand but he already had a burden on his arm caused by his amazon wife who was dragging him towards town.

"Hey, where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked Sakura who only shrugged as she took her position.

"I don't know Naruto but he can take care of himself." She said as she took a stance to begin their practice. Tori laid on the porch in an open display of pain as Ranko joined him to observe the fight.

Ranma had just gotten out of the death hold his wife and his. . . rather their lover had kept on him and rejoined his estranged children.

"How about I teach you two a thing or two?" Ranma asked as he looked at the battle taking place where he and his father had once sparred.

"You're our father aren't you?" Tori said with a frown. He got up at the silent admittance Ranma gave and he walked to the dojo without a word.

"He's bitter because I left you three before I even knew you were there right?" He asked the red haired girl sullenly.

"It's not your fault, we were told the whole story and you weren't willing to leave mom. It's just that. . ." She didn't finish her sentence but Ranma beat her to it.

"I'm not what either of you really thought they would have in a dad right?" Ranma said. "I mean I'm no superhuman and I have children and a student even stronger then either of you are even with all the training you both put into your fighting." Ranko nodded, almost ashamed to be jealous of Naruto.

"Come with me, you both need to ear this I think." Ranma told her as he turned towards the dojo. Ranko followed and entered first to find her brother breaking cinder bricks to pass off his frustration.

"What do you want?" He asked as he placed another stack on the support.

"To talk to you, nothing more for now. I was a little too fast back there I guess." Ranma said as he kneeled on the floor where the sensei usually sits.

"What is there to talk about! You came to visit and you're leaving at the end of the stupid month! Why bother come here at all?" Tori asked as he started pacing.

"Because I thought everyone here had found closure in the time I was gone." Ranma answered calmly.

"Closure? Do you know what mom had to endure all these years?" Tori asked enraged as he broke even more bricks.

"I can guess. . ." Ranma sighed sadly as he looked up. "But I endured my share of hardships as well."

"What kind? Having a family and a wife and children?" Tori screamed.

"Those were the good things just as you and Ranko must have been to Akane." Ranma said with a far away look. "Where we live is no dream land, there's death and violence all around us. I've seen families' thorn apart by hatred, others destroyed by greed and I've even had to fight some of my best friends when they stepped out of line. It's not about the code of the martial artist but the way of the ninja. I've killed some of those who I thought closest to me until death and walked away with my guilty conscience." Tori looked almost horrified at this statement but turned away trying to maintain a semblance of anger.

"We've been called bastards, unwanted children and some names were even worst. Kuno even called us Burakumin." Tori stopped and turned towards his father who was releasing a murderous aura in the air.

"Kuno is a moron and the worst part is that he's being followed by some more morons." Ranma stated as though it would calm his mind.

"Mom was still waiting for you father." Ranko said from the sidelines.

"You do know that if I had know many of the things I know now I wouldn't have married back then?" Ranma asked while he looked in the air. "If I had known that Akane was pregnant I wouldn't even have gone after Happosai that night but I didn't know. If I had known when I arrived in the other world I never would have even thought about staying there but me and your mother had something of a deal back then. We were somewhat a couple but if something happened to the other the remaining one would get on with his or her life." Ranma chuckled at that. "Even that I kind of messed it up in a sick and twisted way. Me unable to make it back and Akane unable to get on with a normal life."

Tori sat down as Ranma got up and moved towards the door.

"What you said, about my leaving in a month is right but your mother wanted me to ask you something. I don't need your answer until I leave but if you two are willing to come with us we have more then enough space." Ranma said as he reached the door. "Akane will stay with the both of you no matter what but the final decision is yours to make." Ranma closed the door and sat on the porch to watch Naruto and Sakura train in aerial combat.

In the dojo the conversation wasn't as heated as it had been.

"What's the matter with mom anyway? Asking us a question like that!" Tori asked to his sister.

"It's obvious Baka! She's still in love with him and whether they had made this promise or not mom would have waited for him either way, even if we hadn't been born." Ranko said.

"So we're a pretext now!" Tori growled angrily.

"I don't think so. Mom loves us and I think she believes we'd be happier in the same world as our father, somewhere we wouldn't be 'bastards' as we're labelled here." Ranko retorted.

"We'd still be considered the same Ranko, our parents aren't married and it's pretty darn obvious we're his children. Worst, he's married to someone else!" Tori shot back.

"You're wrong about that." A new voice rang around the dojo. The form of Hikari came out of the shadows almost identical to Akane's albeit a bit more battle hardened.

"Really? And why is that?" Tori asked sarcastic. "A fairy is going to make us all into your family?"

"Ranma explained that death was something we saw everyday didn't he?" she asked to which the twins only nodded. "When you live in a world as violent as ours there are some. . .rather unique conditions that happen. Many children are born outside of marriage because of one night before a stressful missions, some kunoichi even sleep with their targets to get to them." Hikari almost winced when she said that but continued. "Others are captured and. . .let's just say you don't want to be a captured kunoichi." Ranko looked paler with each sentence while Tori closed his eyes revolted at the mere thought. "Sometimes things happen and we never see the children born of these. . .circumstances as bastards. It would be dishonouring their mother and themselves."

"Have you ever been. . .?" Ranko hesitated to ask her question.

"Ranma and me started going out after one of those 'nights', he just needed the comfort when he had to kill one of his own men who had betrayed. That man was his first ever student." Hikari blushed at the memories. "As for the missions I never needed to, my targets always die before I even set foot within ten feet of them." Her face was now showing a predator's look. "And as for the capture. . .it almost happened once. Ranma left nothing of the bandits who even thought about touching me. That's how I fell in love with him, he actually tore the beating heart of the bandit out of his chest with his bare hands and shoved it where the sun doesn't shine!" Hikari said happily while Tori and Ranko stared at her.

"Just how violent is your world anyway?" Ranko asked while Tori was contemplative.

"Too violent when there's war, we're at peace at the moment but the ninja villages are countries on their own within countries so we handle a double share of war. When the country goes to war and the wars between the different ninja villages." Hikari explained.

"I guess it seems bleak and full of gore and violence but it's not all that bad, we do get a bit of fun nowadays." Hikari said with a bright smile. "I'll leave the two of you to think about all of this." She stated before she disappeared into the shadows.

Ranma was still looking at the battle when someone knocked at the door. Out of habit, he walked to the front door and opened.

"Hello, how may I. . ." He froze, his mother, Nodoka Saotome was staring at him along with the giant panda that was his father.

"Son ?" The woman asked as tears came to her eyes.

"It's me mom, dad." He said. The panda started dancing while it waved a sign saying something about the joining of the school. "I came back to visit, I have to go back in about a month." He said freezing the mood.

"You do know about Akane and your children." Nodoka said with steel in her voice.

"I do but there are other variables in this." Ranma countered as he guided his parents to the kitchen where he was assaulted by Moegi and Ryoma.

"Otou-san!" They both shouted happily as they launched themselves at their father.

"You said we'd train when we made it to your friends house!" Ryoma said.

"How about you ask Naruto to train you while I talk to your grand parents you two. But first you have to present yourself." Ranma said as he gave his father a thermos of hot water. The panda nodded and went to change.

"Hello children, I'm Nodoka, your grand mother and who might you be?" She asked visibly more tender in front of yet more family.

"I'm Moegi Saotome, nice to meet you!" The little girl said as she bowed politely.

"Hello I'm Ryoma!" The youngest of the Saotomes said as he hid behind his father. Moegi yanked him up front and he nervously bowed before he went back to hiding.

"I'm pleased to meet you as well." Nodoka bowed back slightly. "How about you go play outside while I talk to your father?"

"Hai!" Both answered before they ran out to find Naruto.

Silence reigned until Genma came in the room.

"I take it they are the reason you're not staying." Nodoka said.

"Yes, that and my wife and responsibilities. It's a long story to tell where I ended up but I think I can sum it up." Ranma said as he sat near the table.

"When I arrived some people took me for a local criminal on the run, it's not a world as sophisticated as our own. It's still ruled like Japan was in the feudal era with one exception. Ninjas control states of their own within the major countries. I stumbled across one of these villages while I was running and they let me integrate their community." Ranma paused to look outside at Naruto who was now instructing Moegi and Ryoma.

"Back there I founded the Saotome clan anew. It's small for now but with my two children and my wife it'll become larger and larger. I'm also a captain of the elite forces amongst the ninjas and a teacher for Masabetsu Kakuto." Ranma turned his gaze to his parents. "The Saotome name doesn't have any honour here but where I am now it is a respected clan, even if it is young and small for now." He returned his eyes to the training session in the yard.

"I understand Ranma." His father looked at the ground. "I know I sullied the name of our clan but it didn't help that you disappeared as Akane became pregnant." Genma said sullenly.

"I know that already. I offered to bring them all back with me, somewhere they wouldn't be seen as an obscene clan and be respected." Ranma said never averting his gaze from his children. "Akane will come if her children want to. If you wish I could take the two of you with us. I know some people who could use Father's skills in missions. As for you mother our children are alone a lot of time since Hikari has her own missions."

"You mean that she's. . ." Nodoka started as Hikari walked in and sat next to her husband. She was wearing a long pair of silk pants upon which her holster was strapped, she wore a ninja chain mail under a sleeveless jounin vest modified a bit and her fore head protector over her neck.

"A Kunoichi, yes, I am one." Hikari said as she bowed.

"I am Hikari Saotome, Ranma's wife. I suppose you are Mr and Mrs Saotome. I'm honoured to meet you." She said before she sat next to Ranma.

"The honour is our dear." She replied as Ranma called to Naruto and Sakura.

"Hey son! Sakura! Come here would you?" Ranma shouted. The two teens seemed to disappear and appeared right next to them. Ryoma and Moegi were sparring supervised by a kage bunshin of Naruto.

"Hai, what is it dad?" He asked.

"I just wanted to present you to my parents."

"Ohayo Baasan, ojiisan!" Naruto said happily just as Sakura hit the back of his head.

"Be polite you baka!" She turned to the two elder Saotome. "Excuse him but he lacks manners. I'm Sakura Haruno and this baka is. . ." She was about to present Naruto as a Saotome but Naruto cut her.

"Uzumaki Naruto!" He exclaimed. "Let's go back to training Sakura-chan!" He dragged the kunoichi back to where the children had now tackled his shadow replication.

"Your students?" Genma asked knowing his basic style.

"Naruto is our adopted son." Ranma answered first. "And Sakura is his girlfriend."

The elder Saotome almost asked about a marriage agreement but the look in Ranma's eyes was enough to make him back down and actually think or rather revert to his survival instincts.

"He's a manly young man I suppose." Nodoka said with a smile. "But fighting with a girl like that. . ." She frowned but Ranma cut her.

"Remember that a good part of the population is composed of ninjas, trained warriors who can be either men or women. She's from a minor clan and Naruto is the last of his clan which was once a major clan." Ranma paused and frowned in perceptible anger but Hikari continued the explications.

"Naruto's parents died when a demon attacked our village and he's been an orphan since then but. . .no one wanted to take care of him for reasons we deem classified." She didn't say anymore even if Genma seemed interested. Anything classified could be valuable and worth lots of money.

"He's a lot like Ranko and Tori in that he's never really been accepted but he didn't even have a mother or father to take care of him, merely someone who punished him when he didn't obey. We took him in and raised him as good as possible." Hikari finished.

"You both did the right thing. I'm proud of you my son." Nodoka said formally. Ranma was about to answer when a resounding crash could be eared in the backyard. The fence was trashed and a figure with an umbrella and a backpack stood there glowing a sickly green colour.

"Ranma Saotome, I challenge you to battle!" The fanged man jumped at the pigtailed man only to be intercepted by Akane's frying pan in the face.

"Ryoga! I already told you not to fight when you come here! If you want to fight it will be after you repair the fence and apologize to the kids!" Akane angrily scolded to Ranma's mirth. She then walked to her ex-fiancé and kissed him square on the mouth. Ryoga's aura became even greener, but this time it was with jealousy. Depression would soon follow and Ranma didn't fancy facing a perfect Shishi Hokodan near the Tendo home.

Hikari was taking it all in stride while Nodoka was happily cheering her manly son. Akane supervised the reconstruction of the wall while Ranma prepared for his battle but when Ryoga finished working Ranko, whom had gotten out of the dojo, drenched the man who turned into a piglet and quickly put him into a cat cage.

"Sorry about this Ryoga-san but there's going to be an organised event for you to fight in." She said as she took out a poster with the pictures of Ryoga and Ranma put in a face-off style. "Ranma's triumphant return against his most heated rival! Ryoga Hibiki! Betting are open!"

"She takes after Nabiki doesn't she?" Ranma asked.

The residents of his homeworld only nodded as she took out her cell phone and called her associates to start the ticket sales.

"Thinking about Nabiki, we need to call her." Ranma said.

Meanwhile Naruto was sparing with Sakura, the arrival of Ryoga had stopped their workout but they only jumped to the roof to practice balance and precise movements instead of ground based acrobatics. Naruto had to admit his body was stronger and faster with it's latest 'modifications' and so was Sakura's. He had needed to use some of his father's weighed clothing instead of his own to compensate the difference in strength. Sakura's curse made a bit of a difference but even then Naruto didn't like that way of gaining power.

He had the firm belief that working for your strength was a requirement; strength doesn't come as a gift but to those who work for it. His father had never been given such a 'gift of power' but as much as Naruto liked his newfound strength he also despised it. He stopped abruptly as he blocked Sakura's left hook and sat down on the roof holding her hand.

"Sakura, why are you in your cursed form?" He asked.

"It's stronger, faster and it's. . .better then my own body. . ." Sakura blushed a bit but Naruto didn't catch the implications. "It's also. . .well, you're always like that so I guess I just want to be a little more like you." She admitted as she opened the link they shared. It had been long but they could at least control when they wanted to be eared now.

'What's the matter Naruto?' She asked.

'It's just that I feel we're cheating somehow.' He answered. Sakura sighed and thought for a second.

'Naruto, just think of it like a bloodline limit, it's not cheating but awakening something.' She answered and Naruto smiled slightly.

'There's not only that. I'm not the container of the fox anymore but the demon itself, how do you think I feel?' He sent back but the girl didn't have to answer as she felt what exactly it was he felt. It was a weird mixture of feelings which were foreign and familiar at the same time. She felt his loneliness, his loathing, his love for his family, his playfulness, his anger, his joy; she felt his everything at the same time. The feelings didn't come from her but she knew what they were anyway.

"Naruto. . ."she said as he looked down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen." He answered as he let go of her hand. Sakura immediately took it back in her own not letting him fall into self pity.

"Naruto, I know how you feel, not because I can imagine it but because I felt it just now. And you know what I felt most of all?" she said as she forced him to look into her eyes.

"What? Anger? Loathing or maybe even hatred."

"None of that, I felt your Love. Your love for your family, the village, your friends and even your love for Ramen." She drew him into her arms and hugged him tightly. "And most of all, I felt your love for me. . ." She trailed off and kissed him softly before she whispered into his ear. "I love you too Naruto-kun. . ."

The boy shuddered at the sultry whisper but hugged back his girlfriend, letting go of his apprehensions.

Later that day Ranma launched the bombshell over his family. Sasuke had made it back from his meeting with the amazons under the guise of a henge no jutsu. The girl was still convinced Sasuke was with her at that exact moment even if it was a simple illusion.

"Kids, you're going to go to school!" Ranma exclaimed. Ryoma jumped for joy since he hadn't started the academy while Moegi slumped a bit since she was supposed to be on a vacation. Naruto Sasuke and Sakura looked appalled.

"Dad. . .we finished the academy a while ago, we don't need more schoolings." Naruto said as Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"It's different here son, it's not a ninja school but a normal school where you learn history, maths, sciences and lots of other stuff. You need to know some of this if you want to be Hokage one day." Ranma knew it would get him.

"ALRIGHT! You're on! I'm going to become the Hokage and show everyone once I learn this stuff!" Naruto jumped around a bit before he finally calmed down.

The next morning was a rush. Ranma and Hikari were helping Moegi and Ryoma prepare while Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto prepared for their day. The need for a uniform was met with the same reaction. All three rolled their eyes and left without the ridiculous garnment. Kuno didn't impose a haircut like his father had but wearing the hakama and a boken was out of the question.

They were all sorted into the same classroom which a certain Mrs Hinako taught first thing in the morning.

"Good morning class, today we have three exchange students who will attend our class for about a month." The young teacher wasn't wearing the hakama either and didn't say a thing about their lack of respect towards the dress code. The fact that she looked like a 15 year old didn't help matters much. Sucking chakra had stopped being fun when her mature body had reached the 40's. being an old maid sucked to say the least but being a teen wasn't much fun either, especially when the boys were perverts. "This is Haruno Sakura." Sakura entered the classroom and bowed politely before she introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Sakura and it's nice to meet you!" She said with a smile.

"Uchiha Sasuke." The teacher called to the dark boy who entered with a frown upon his features.

". . ." He didn't even bow, already the girls, which actually included the teacher were whispering about his looks. He took his designated place and waited for the course.

"And finaly Saotome Naruto." The boy came in and went to the teacher.

"Sorry, a mistake here, it's Uzumaki Naruto." She rectified. The damage was done. The name Saotome was infamous for many things and amongst them were Ranma, womanizing and perversion for some reason.

"Ohayo!" the boy exclaimed in his usual loud manner. He was tempted to use one of his jutsus which he actually used for pranks but what would be the use in that anyway. He sat besides Sakura and almost immediately became attentive.

As the class started someone was creeping around the building, someone very skilled by his own words and ready to play pranks upon poor Furikan high. Something Naruto was very skilled at was multitasking. He had a Kage Bunshin in class taking notes and since the clone wasn't himself he wasn't about to fall asleep. Meanwhile he and about fifty of his copies were getting ready for the greatest prank he would ever play upon somebody.

His actual targets were limited. Getting Sakura or Ranko would award him a swift death while he didn't want to attack Tori who was probably the first person to ever contact him without any preconceived views. So there was only one real target possible for this prank and that was Sasuke. He needed to do many things and dividing himself into different places was easy for anyone who mastered kage bunshin. What was harder was to keep control of yourselves. It took him all morning to get ready and he smiled as though he had eaten a cart full of ramen. He exchanged places with his clone and the copy simply disappeared.

Furikan's lunch hour was never that eventful.

Naruto, with his large grin, walked under the tree Sakura, Ranko, Tori and Sasuke were sitting under.

"What have you done now?" Sakura asked while Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Tori ate his lunch trying to pilfer some more from his sister who was in constant communication with her associates for the battle the next day. The betting pool was going strong and the ticket sales were raising enough money to cover winning bets. The fact that her rates on Ryoga winning were high there were lots of bets against Ranma but many of the adults who would skip their day at their job just for the battle were betting on him. There were also side bets on interruptions and the long shot of a draw. In other words, business was picking up for the young Saotome.

Naruto gulped down his lunch just in time to see the principal approach them.

"Pigtailled girl, I am one step closer to freeing thou from the evil sorceror's hold!" He proclaimed as he went to hug Ranko. Naruto lifted an eyebrow at the display but the man stopped all of a sudden at seeing Naruto.

"Gaïjin! What are you doing in this sacred ground of education?" He demanded of Naruto.

"Learning." He said as he sent the command to change the plans to his clones. The principal needed a good prank.

"Nay! I shall never allow one impure to frequent these holy grounds!" He was starting his speech and Naruto grinned as he quickly ordered his clones to act. Spontaneous was the best word to describe Naruto after all.

Five clones moved faster then the eye could see stripping the moron to his underwear upon which were printed two pictures, one of his pigtailed girl and one of a younger Akane. The next attack wrapped him in toilet paper, wet toilet paper once the next attack hit. Finaly, his clones tied his feet and tied him to the flag pole with the rope. Students saluted their new flag and the teachers had a good laugh reading the paper which spelled the words 'Idiot', 'moron', 'asshole' and many other colourful words. Sasuke would have been funnier as he would have been female but there were other occasions.

Ranma saluted the flag as well when he passed by the school later that day while the mummified Kuno struggled to attack the demon sorcerer who had sent one of his hell spawns in his school. The ninja walked into a flower shop, only to try to back away from the Evil with a capital 'E', shop. He had, in front of him, the most evil of his suitors after Tatewaki Kuno: Kodachi Kuno.

"Hello how may I. . .Ranma-sama? Is that you?" The crazy gymnast looked at him wide eyed as she almost charged to take hold of him, not to mention drug him and then have her way with his helpless body. Ranma used a kawarimi in an immediate reflex appearing on the roof of the very shop the girl apparently owned. He did the only thing logical and ran as the battle cry, or rather laugh, of the black rose rang across the streets. Animals started to flee Nerima at this point. It was a sign, a prelude to the upcoming apocalypse. Ranma was amongst those animals just as Mr. Gator was, showing that not only the rats left a boat in perdition.

The horrible sound brought shudders to all those who eared but one thing outstripped them all, one thing so horrible, so despicable, so Evil (not me, HIM!) that it's battle cry left young ladies screaming and running.

"SWEETO!" Happosai was by far the worst creature Nerima housed followed closely by Ataru, even then it wasn't the other way around because the younger pervert had a powerful alien fiancée. Still, Happosai was by far the worst of the Nerimians and his favourite targets happened to frequent Furikan, Tomobiki was far too dangerous and Nuku-Nuku didn't really feel human at all so it wasn't worth the thrill of the chase.

He was doing his normal rounds in his sector when he saw a new face around, a strong one at that. The girl held a strong aura around her and Happosai, even if he took pleasure in collecting his precious panties, used the extra ki to sustain his life. Good thing it was PE period too, the girls were easier to steal from then and the chase was even more entertaining afterwards.

Happosai used his usual tactic, the frontal and very perverted assault, and jumped into the fray of young girls taking more additions to his collection but obviously going to the girl with the yellow slitted eyes. He was about to jump on her too when something stopped him. something inhuman, dangerous, animal and even, happosai swallowed a lump in his throat, demonic.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. . ." the blonde and red haired boy in front of Happosai growled. The red lines upon his face made him at least a Hanyou but his aura of power felt even stronger then those of half demons. No, this boy was at least a full demon. The pointed ears were a good indicator. The last time Happosai had seen one was years ago. A Taiyoukai named Sesshoumaru whom had almost killed the young man Happosai had been.

"Demon. . ." Happosai said as he took out his pipe for battle.

Naruto had been bored out of his mind when he felt Sakura's distress. He could smell an air of fear and intense hate coming from the girls side of the PE course and he had immediately rushed to protect his mate. He didn't think like a human at that moment. He was a fox and his priority was to protect what was his. He intercepted the intruder and growled at him. The small bug like man took out a pipe which Naruto didn't care about. He was going to pulverize that man for having menaced his mate.

"Yes, I'm a demon. What are you going to do about it?" The boy growled as his chakra took a visual form. The field was cleared by any of the other students as Ranko took bets, most of which were against Naruto.

"Why send you back into hell little boy!" the old man stated trying to get a rise out of the young entity in front of him.

"Try as you might perv, I'm here to stay." Naruto shot back as tails of chakra unfolded behind his metaphoric form. Happosai's battle aura took form trying to dominate the battle ground but it was belittled by the gigantic form of the Kyuuby. His aura actually had just the size of a flee to the demonic aura that surrounded Naruto.

Happosai sweated as he found himself in a pinch. His aura was weaker, several times weaker in fact, then the one this demon displayed without much of an effort. Most of the students didn't see the aura but Ranko, Tori, Sakura and Sasuke did, Sasuke better then the others because of his Sharingan.

'Kyuuby ? But that would mean. . .' He thought as he looked directly at Naruto and saw some sort of seal around him centered on his navel.

"What the hell is that?" Tori said as the aura howled making Happosai's diminish as it seemed to grow enough to dwarf the diminutive old man.
