Chapter 1
A group of about 12 bandits sat around a campfire, drinking and laughing loudly. A huge bearded man, apparently their leader stood up.
" Men.. " he began raising a mug " Although that pathetic village we attack didn't have any thing much, at least we're going to have a lot of fun tonight "
Two girls, aged 16 and 18 who were tied to a nearby tree, shivered while the other men let out a loud laugh and resumed their drinking.
" Please let us go we won't tell anyone about your group, please, " the older of the girls pleaded
" Are you nuts, I haven't had a woman this young and I'm not going to let the oppurtunity pass... " one of the men said, standing ang pressing his hands in the chest of the younger girl.
" Please stop, it hurts.. " the girl cried.
" Bwahaha your cute little voice really turns me on.. "
" I suggest you do what the girl tells you " a figure in a black robe, whose face was completely hidden by a hood, walked into the clearing where the camp was standing.
" Who are you? How did you find us? " one of the bandits yelled.
" If you people weren't so stupid as to make loud noises, you could have had your little fun tonight but no, you had to be so rowdy and for that you sealed your fate. "
Tree branches began sprouting from the ground and surrounding the entire camp, wrapping around every bandit who were tried to attack but was wrapped by the branches. One of two girls who were still tied up recognized the jutsu of the second hokage but she also knew and was sure of it that only the Nidaime knew how to do the technique. "Who is this...person? ". In just over a minute everyone of the bandits were wrapped with tree branches, slowly squeezing them to death. They were complety covered not an inch of their bodies was seen that their screams of pain cannot even be heard. ' That was easy ' The cloaked figure then walked over to the girls and undid the ropes that held them.
" th..thank you... " the younger one stuttered when she was untied. She wrapped her arms around herself, dropped to the ground and trembled. The other one hugged her and said " It's alright now, we're safe. "
" Are you two related ? " Their savior asked.
" Hai..She's my sister, by the way i'm Ayako my sister's name is Ayeka " she said looking up at the man, hoping he would take the hint and introduce himself. However he only told them if they want to go with him it was fine and if they want to go somewhere else it was alright. He then began walking away.
" Wait... " The stranger who had saved them stopped and turned his head back.
" Yes? "
" We'd like to know who our savior is. " The hooded figure looked like he was taking a deep breath, and removed the hood covering his face. The first thing that came to her mind was ' He's...handsome '
" Fine, my name is Dan Kazama 18 and single and i love sugared doughnuts " he then grinned at the girls " And you can tell your sister she can stop shaking now "
The younger girl who was still in her sister's arms looked up and blushed slightly. Ayako smiled at the guy who had saved them he was not older than herself and apparently was very friendly. She observed his face more closer, and to her surprise his eyes were of two different colors, one was sapphire blue and one was emerald green. And his lips was a curved in a handsome smile. He noticed her staring at him.
" What? Something in my teeth? "
" No, I was just... "
" Nevermind " he went over Ayeka " It's okay now, those evil stinky old men are not going to hurt you anymore " The girl looked at him and then hugged him. " Arigato.. " she whispered. He gently removed her embrace, " Now, now there's no need to get excited. " Ayako was also a bit surprised by Ayeka's actions. Ayeka stood up wiping hear tears and smiled. " I'm sorry, I just got carried away. "
Dan was glad Ayeka looked fine fine now. He hoped they didn't have any trauma of some sort. He observed the girls carefully, both girls were beautiful. Ayako the older one, looked somewhere between 16 and 18, had shoulder-length hair, and had very nice curves and Ayeka the younger one, looked to be about 14 and unlike her sister had her hair down to her waist and despite being younger she was slighlty bustier than her sister.
" Uhm, so where are you two very pretty ladies going to at this time of the night? It's very dangerous you know for two girls travelling at night unless you two are kunoichis. None of my bussiness anyway, let's go find another place to set camp, this place going to be crawling by morning " he said looking at ominous tree branches that still held its captives. " Unless you two want me to leave already. "
" No, " Ayeka replied, holding both his hands " We would very much appreciate your company. "
" Well, then let's get a move on, but first... " he went over to the belongings of the thieves and took their tent, sleeping bag and a few other things. " Pretty girls don't need to sleep on bare earth you know? "
The three of them began walking to search for a better place set to camp. Ayeka held on to Dan's arm.
" So what's wtih sugared doughnuts? "
Naruto dropped to the floor the moment he entered his dingy apartment. Every inch of his muscles hurt. Their last mission was to help a family who had just moved houses to get their stuff into their new house. He spent the day carrying bookshelves, cabinets and large boxes of other stuff. Sure he had his Shadow clones help him but conjuring them take their strain on you. He remembered Sasuke and Sakura, just getting the smaller stuff so they were not that tired at all, and Sakura telling him what and idiot he was that the men which the family had hired can do that. They were just their to provide extra help with smaller things. He said to himself then that how can he prove himself when he only did small stuff? He needed to do big stuff! Then there was Kyuubi always talking inside his head, pointing everything she saw and sqHe got up from the floor and crawled to his bed removed his jumpsuit and immediately fell asleep.
Once again, Naruto found himself in front of the cage the nine-tailed fox. But this time there were no creepy eyes leering at him. " Hello, fox? " He called out several times but no fox-demon showed up. He peered closer in the cage, he found out that he can fit in between the bars. So he went in the cage, and looked around and saw nothing but darkness in every direction. He walked on a little father and saw what looked liked someone lying in a bed. " What? in a place like this! " He went closer and saw the same woman he saw in his last time here, this time she was lying down in a bed, only her lower body was partly covered with a robe her upper body was exposed and he could see her bare chest. Poor Naruto nearly passed out due to massive bloodloss.
" Naruto- chan, you naughty little boy you shouldn't sneak up on women like that. " the nine-taled demon assuming the form of a human woman, got up covered herself, picked up Naruto and laid him on the bed.
" Oh my poor Naruto - chan you looked so tired today, " she said as carressed his head. Naruto thought now he'd seen everything and could now die peacefully.
" No Naruto - chan, you haven't seen anything yet, I could show but you've seen enough and you're too young for that. "
" H..How did you know that? "
" I'm inside your mind remember? I know everything you're thinking and you can't hide anything from me. "
" Oh. "
" Anyway, Naruto - chan I think I'll start training you myself tomorrow. " Naruto sat up quickly as if he wasn't on the verge of passing out only a few moments ago.
" Really! You will teach me new moves? " The Kyuubi smiled at Naruto " He really is energetic "
" No not yet Naruto, first you must increase your strength, stamina and your chakra capacity, then when I see you have improved. I'll teach techniques only I know. "
Naruto was a bit disappointed, but then he thought you can't rush things. He would do everything to be acknowledge by people around him.
" That's right, you can't rush things by the way, how did you get in here? "
"I crawled between the bars "
" Of course, he can come and go in this cage as he please, after all he's my jailor. "
" Now, Naruto - chan you must rest now, I kept your here long enough. "
She held Naruto by the chin and kissed him in the lips. She held him briefly, exploring his mouth with her tongue. Naruto was speechless when she finally released him.
" Ja-ne " And everything went black
Dan stared at the sky as orange streaks appeared signalling the sunrise. He pondered on what his new companions have told him last night. They were from the Hidden Leaf, they went to the Country of Wind to visit their relatives there. They had a sister but she didn't went with them because someone needed to help their father with their bussiness back home. So far nothing important had happened in the Hidden Leaf this past few years. The last major event was the Nine -tailed demon fox ravaging the village. But this two girls were too young to remember that and of course they did not know that. And have no need to know. He felt someone moving from the tent. He saw Ayako getting out of the tent.
" Ohayo... " Ayako said still a bit sleepy.
" Uh...Good morning to you too... "
At least, he thought he have some companions on his journey to the Hidden Leaf. " I think it's time for a visit to the great Nine-tailed demon fox. "
