No one even voted for Sasuke! Fufufufu, anyway, feel free to give suggestions and stuff. On to the story…
Chapter 2 : Back to Konoha
"I can't believe he's still passed out…" Kakashi glanced at the sleeping blonde behind him. The team was on their way back to the Leaf Village with certain problems…
"What! We're in deep trouble!" The butler said all panicky.
"Explain" Sasuke said coolly… No need to get panicky over some usuratonkachi. Kakashi, who had the now fainted Naruto on his back, wore an expression of worry. Sakura was worried too, and thanks god that the stange 'water' which was more like gooey blobs of evil, didn't get to soil her clothes.
"Eherm, um… we better head back, this is going to be quite long…" The man with swirls exchanged for eyes(since he'd been panicky and decided to run around to release stress) lead them to the main quarters.
Team 7 sat down, except for Naruto who was still sleeping, and was offered tea.
"Eherm, you see… those pools, they're actually filled with ancient voodoo magic and once you bathe in them mysterious effects will occur" The butler breathed out the last words like venom and an eerie aura had started to swirl around him.
"What effects? Nothing's happening to him yet…" Sakura, the ever scrutinizing member, asked the young man, who was now rid of the eerie fog and replaced with an 'I-don't-know' attitude. Team 7 squinted their eyes.
"Eh, err, ah, maybe the effects were umm… postponed! Yeah that's it, since your friend is still sleeping and all… (insert sheepish laugh)"
"What about the cure?"
"Erm…"
"…"
Silence…
"DON'T TELL US THERE'S NO CURE!" Team 7 roared harmoniously. The poor butler bleached from the harmony of the 3. Kakashi's silent death glare(it's even scarier with only one eye), Sasuke's burning anger, and Sakura's extremely powerful inner self. Yes, they all spelled 'U R DED'.
"Eherm… I, I'm not s-saying there's n-no cure" The butler was tremebling in fright, then, he remembered something very, very important… once again. 'Oh no! They wrecked the springs!'
"The t-truth is… the cure… was wrecked along with all the other ancient voodoo ones. B-but wait! There's another cure!" Oh yeah, they were going to bite his head off… and maybe, if he's lucky, they won't censored bleep bleep toot toot him.
"Other cure?"
"Ugh… Y-Yeah, he has to find a 'true love' and with the power of that, he'll be invincible! I-I mean, he'll be cured…" The butler said stuttering, as he watched Team 7 move out of the lodging and onto their journey back. 'Well, as they say, love conquers all…'(1)
The team was now back at Konoha, visiting Naruto at the hospital. It might be because of the Kyuubi, Sakura's ingenious medic skills or the hospital's life support system, that Naruto looks fine without a single burn mark.
Sakura who was sitting next to Sasuke, glanced at Naruto. 'Actually, he looks far better even when he was still fine… Maybe even a little more handsome… ACK! What was I thinking!' She blushed. She did not just think that Naruto was handsome when her 'prince' Sasuke was sitting right beside her.
"Sensei…" The Uchiha spoke up. "… so, what were the mysterious effects?"
Silence…
"YOU DIDN'T KNOW?" The two genins erupted.
Kakashi just scratched the back of his head, "Ahahaha, don't worry, we'll know soon enough… Anyway, I'll go ahead and talk to Godaime about his condition, you two are also dismissed." He said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Inner Sakura made a hell yeah pose, as she were going to be alone with Sasuke, however, he swooped out the door casually leaving Sakura behind.
"Mou! Sasuke-kun lets have a date!" She followed after his steps. And just like that, Naruto was left alone.
"Urrr, I'm hungry…" Naruto stirred as he pushed the nurse button. He felt a little dizzy, maybe from hunger. Man, what he'd do to get some miso ramen right about now.
Just as he was hallucinating about Ichiraku ramen, the beautiful young nurse stepped in. The girl, who looked about Naruto's age, had long her black hair tied in a pig tail and two tantalizing golden eyes. She was like a traditional Japanese beauty, the type that looks good in kimonos. She was walking towards Naruto carrying a tray with a glass of water. Naruto sat up, and admired the pretty nurse in front of him.
"Ah!" The Nurse gasp as she tripped. She should have just concentrated on walking and not gawking at the handsome blonde. Naruto heated up, and somehow time seemed slower than usual. Unconsciously moving, he ended up breaking the nurse's fall without any drips of water from the ground.
"Ara?" He found himself having the Nurse in one hand, and the tray in another. 'Did I just perform some incredibly outrageous stunt?' He asked himself, and once again, he unconsciously read the name tag of the furiously blushing nurse.
"Are you okay, Kurone-san?" Naruto said coolly and bubbles of shoujo goodness appeared at the scene. Naruto stared at the nurse with his 'tantalizing eyes' making her blush all the more. 'This person is really pretty!' He cheered himself on.
"I-I'm fine thank you, actually I'm new to this nursing thing, since I'm just a volunteer... ahaha, but I'm still clumsy. Sorry about that." Kurone-san stared at the ground, and the blush subsided. Noticing that she was still in his hold, she turned to face the sparkly aqua of his eyes, and blushed once again. 'I think I'm gonna faint…'
"When do you get out?"
"What?" She was snapped out of her fluffy thoughts. 'Is he telling me to get out?' Standing with lightning speed, her crimson face still red as beet, she apologized. 'He must think I was heavy…'
"Work… when do you get out?"
"Umm, I was just going to get my stuff when you ringed and…" She couldn't even finish her sentence as Naruto grabbed her hand. She can't help but gasp, surprised that a patient would do this, 'But I guess it isn't all that bad' she thought.
"Let's go eat ramen then! I don't have any money, so I thought I'd bring you along! Don't worry I'm going to pay you back! I promise!" Naruto said in his bouncy attitude, with a flash of his trademark fox smirk.
Looking him up and down, Kurone-san noticed that they were both still in 'hospital wear'. "Ano, I think we better change our clothes first…" She suggested.
"Then I'll meet you outside the hospital then, please don't forget about me okay?" Kurone-san was surprised at his seductive way of saying that. Was he trying to make her faint and kidnap her, then sell her limbs to the black market if no one came with ransom? Hah, of course not. She mentally laughed at herself. 'He needs me for ramen'
"Wait…"
Just as she reached the door knob, he held on to her other wrist. She didn't bother turning around, avoiding embarrassment now that her face was flushed from the contact. 'Even though he's probably seen me like that…' He turned her around, almost forcibly…
"You…" His strong gaze pierced deep into in her stomach and released the butterflies. "You haven't told me your full name yet… I'm Uzumaki Naruto…"
"I-I'm Kurone Koneko…" And she was gone.
"Kurone Koneko? Koneko-chan? Kurone Koneko…" He repeated the name… before bursting out laughing. (1)
Meanwhile
WOOSH
"Hey, was that just a tomato?"
"What? It looked like Kurone-san."
"Hmmm, I don't think I'll have the cafeteria's Mexican burritos for lunch. "
Meanwhile Meanwhile…
Tsunade pick up the details of Naruto's condition and reads it aloud.
"Hmm? Absolute Playboy? Hehe, this'll be interesting…"
"What about it Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked out of concern.
"Naruto's ancient voodoo curse… He'll be like a love magnet, to girls and boys. The cure is long gone as well as the source, so we have to rely on what your butler guy's said to us…"
Kakashi sighed… well that wasn't pretty troublesome, besides the boy could fall in love whenever he wants... Tsunade looked troubled though; a dark depressing feeling surrounded her.
"This is an emergency, we have to make Naruto fall in love as quick as possible or the next generations will… our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will…"
GULP
"ALL LOOK LIKE NARUTO!"
to be continued…
(1) Kurone Koneko: Kuroneko actually means black cat, in which I modeled the OC after. He laughed because… Kurone Koneko means black cat… yeah, I know… lame.
A/N: Ack, I made the lousy OC for cryin' out loud. I was planning a very different OC, but this just had a feeling of, normal, in every way. Oh well, from here starts Naruto being a seme, once he encounters a guy he'll be an uke… and so on. Oh yeah, please vote, the fic won't be ending anytime soon, and you can put anyone whom you want paired with Naruto. Yaoi, uke, seme, whatever. Anyway, Review!
