Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. So, sorry for taking so long with this chapter. I've been training/working at my new job, one that I got a month ago, and it's been leaving me exhausted when I get home. I do try to write when I get home, but most of the time, I just don't want to think about anything and just rest.
Hopefully, my body and mind will get used to the new work schedule I got, and quickly. Until then, don't expect any fast updates. Now, with that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
P.S. I've created a blog called Galactic Media, on Blogspot. There, I plan to do several posts of rankings, analysis, reviews, etc. So far, I got four ranking posts there, along with one other post. Would appreciate it if you guys check it out, or tell others who would be interested in these types of things.

Chapter 5: Alien Princess High Enters School
For as long as Naruto could remember, his mother would be very overprotective. Whenever he got hurt, whenever there's so much as a scratch on him, she would either smother him out of worry or track down the person who dare harm him. She's gotten better as the years passed, and when she started training him in the ways of the shinobi, but she's still very protective of him.
So when he got back, later than planned, clothes ruffled up, and a burnt stab wound in his stomach…
"Sochi, are you alright?! What happened?! Who did this?! Oh, when I get the hand on the bastard who stabbed you-"
Yep, that was the reaction he was expecting. At least she isn't smothering him, like she used to when he was a kid.
"I'm alright, mom! I'm alright!" Naruto exclaimed twice, trying to calm his frantic mother. She was face to face towards him, hands clenched around his shoulder in worry. "He just got a lucky shot in, that's all!"
Meanwhile, Lala was looking at the scene in front of her, giggling. It looks like Naruto's mama is as protective of Naruto as papa is with her and her sisters.
After getting his mom to calm down, Naruto brought her and Lala to the living room. There, he told her who confronted him and Lala, the fight that broke out, and the conclusion of said fight.
"Sounds like these… devilukians are what your species called dear?" When Lala nodded, Kushina continued. "Sounds like they're more durable than most humans."
"We are." Lala once again confirmed. "We're far stronger than most species in the galaxy. Very few are able to challenge us when it comes to combat."
"I see…" Kushina hummed in thought, eyes closed for a moment before they opened back. "Still, you manage to take that knight down, with little trouble at all." She then smiled. "Good job sochi!"
Naruto beamed back in pride. It's always nice to be praised by his mom, whether for his fighting abilities or something else. "Thanks, mom!"
'Still, it sounds like I'll need to set up more traps around the house.' Kushina mused to herself. 'And maybe increase Naruto's training regime as well. I don't know how tough these suitors will be, or what tricks they'll have up their sleeves, so we need to prepare.'
Shaking out of her thoughts for the moment, Kushina put focused back on her son and guest. "Now, is there anything else I should know?"
Before Naruto could say anything to confirm or deny that, Lala spoke up. "Yes, there is." The pinkette held a nervous expression on her face, yet it held determination as well. "If it's okay with you Kushina-san… I plan to marry Naruto-kun!"
That actually caused the mother to freeze, a stun look entering her face as she processed what she heard.
Naruto, however, was quick to respond. "Lala!" He shouted, a blush forming on his face. "I told you, I haven't agree on marrying you!"
"And I told you, I'm gonna make you fall in love with me!" Lala retorted, the determined expression not leaving. "I won't give up until you do so!"
Naruto sighed in exasperation. Before he could attempt to dissuade her once again, he was interrupted by a girly squeal. He turned his head to see his mouth with a joyous expression, hearts in her eyes. "My baby is gonna get married?!"
"No!/Yes!" Naruto and Lala simultaneously answered, with the blonde standing up from his seat.
However, as soon as he did, the stab wound he had momentarily forgotten flared up in pain, causing to hissed and kneeled down. That got both his mother and self-proclaimed fiance worried.
"Sochi/Naruto-kun!" Both females went towards the shinobi, with Lala on his side while Kushina was kneeling in front of him. The latter spoke up. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah… guess the stab wound Zastin gave me haven't quite healed up yet…" Naruto chuckled out weakly.
"We should get you help." Lala said, sounding very concerned. "Your wound could get infected."
"You don't have to worry about that Lala…" Naruto reassured the girl. "While it still hurts, it's starting to heal up." He lifted his shirt, to show a slightly steaming wound, which was smaller than it was initially. "See?"
Suffice to say, the pinkette was shock. "But… how?"
"Something to do with my mom's side of the family. But I'll give you the full explanation later." Naruto then turned to his mom, who still looked slightly worried, but not as much anymore. "So, about the marriage thing Lala mentioned…"
(Riko's Dream)
"I… I need to tell you something Naruto." Riko declared, though looking nervous. She and Naruto were at the side of the school, where the flower garden was located at. "I… I…"
"Riko-chan?" Naruto tilted her head in confusion.
'Come on, Riko-chan, say it!' She mentally shouted to herself. 'Don't back down now! Not again!'
"I love you!" She shouted, bowing her head. "I love you for a long time! Please, go out with me!" She then remained where she's at, posture stiff and eyes shut tight. She didn't dare open them, nervous about his reaction.
"...Alright." Riko's head shot up at the positive answer, to see Naruto smiling at her. "I'll go out with you. Been wanting to for a while now."
Riko heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Does that mean… "Y-You mean…?"
"Yeah." The blonde wrapped his arms around her waist and pull the girl close, startling her. "I love you too. For a long time."
That caused Riko to tear up in happiness. Finally. After all these years, after all these failed attempts, she finally managed to confess to her childhood friend. And the best thing of all, he likes back. "Naruto… kun…"
"Riko-chan…" Slowly, the two leaned towards each other, about to share a kiss…
"Riko!"
"Ahh!" With a shout, the orangette was drawn her dream and onto the cold, unforgiving ground. She groaned, slowly lifting up her head to see her sister looking down at her with exasperation and slightly amusement.
"Sorry for interrupting your dream about Naruto, but it's time to get up." Mikan chided the older sister. "Get up and get ready before your breakfast get cold."
Riko blushed before untangling herself from her blanket and getting onto her knees. "I-I wasn't dreaming about Naruto!"
"Then I'm guessing you were about to kiss someone else in your dream when you holding you pillow then?" Mikan remarked dryly, drawing a bigger blush from the older girl. "And suppose that wasn't Naruto's name I heard you muttering?"
"G-Get out Mikan, so I could get ready for school!" With a smirk, Mikan left for her sister to pick herself up and get her uniform on. It's fun to tease her sister about her crush on the whiskered-blonde.
Once her little sister was gone, Riko let out a groan of disappointment. "So it was just another dream…" When memories of that dream came up, a heavy blushed hit her blush. "I can't believe it! Why do I keep having dreams that are so… gah!" She rolled around the floor, covering her head in embarrassments.
Once she recovered, Riko got her upper body off the floor once again. "One of these days, it won't be just a dream." She said to herself in determination. "One day, I will confess to Naruto-kun!"
(Naruto's Bedroom)
The thing that woke Naruto was the rays of sunlight hitting his closed eyes, making him grumble in annoyance. "Stupid sun." Can't he be left alone to sleep in peace? While it's a thousand times better than an alarm clock, it's still annoying.
He attempted to move one of his arms, in an attempt to block the sun's rays and rub his eyes, he found it trapped under something. Something soft. "Eh?" Opening his eyes a little, the first thing he saw was a head of pink hair. That caused him to open his eyes up fully, to see Lala, on his bed, sleeping peacefully, fully nude.
Oh, and his arm between her breasts.
He blinked once, then twice, then three times. He rubbed his eyes with his free hand to see if he was dreaming, but when he opened them back, he still saw the pink haired princess lying in his bed. Okay, not dreaming then. Then there's only one thing he can do now about this situation.
"LALA!" Naruto shouted, wenching his arms free and covering his eyes with a heavy blush. "What are you doing in my bed, naked?!"
His response was only for the girl to slowly wake up from her sleep. "Morning, Naruto-kun." She mumbled, rubbing one of her eyes. She then took notice of his current posture. "Is something wrong?"
"Why are you in my bed, naked?!" Naruto repeated his question.
"Peke needs to recharge during the night." Lala explained as she slowly woke up. She stretched her arms up, not caring at all for her modesty. "So I have to sleep nude."
"Lala-sama is correct." Peke, who was under the blanket with her creator, spoke up. "I'm sorry Naruto-dono, but I have to."
"...As for why you're sleeping in my bed?" The blonde asked, starting to calm down some. He kept his eyes away from Lala's voluptuous figure though.
"Eh? Isn't it obvious?" Lala tilted her head at that, before giving a cute smile. "We're gonna be married, so it's natural to sleep in the same bed with each other."
"You do remember that I actually haven't agreed to be your fiance, right?" Naruto sighed.
"Yep."
"So why are you here?" His words were sounding more and more exasperated.
"Cause this is the first step in conquering your heart." Lala responded in determination, pumping her fist. "Just you wait, Naruto-kun. By the end of it, you'll be falling head over heels for me. Like I have."
'Is she even listening?' Naruto cried out mentally. 'She might be as stubborn as I am!'
A giggle caused the two teens to turn towards the door, to see an amused looking Kushina at the doorway.
Once again, Naruto knew that there was only one way he could react. "This isn't what it looks like!"
(Outside)
"She is gonna tease me about this for a long time, I know it…" Naruto grumbled, as he walked on the sidewalk, full uniform on. "It's bad enough she teases me for having a lot of female friends…" Why his friends are generally girls, he'll never find the answer too. All he knows that it gives his mom a lot of teasing ammo.
He stopped grumbling when he caught sight of the Yuuki household. When he got close, he saw Riko leaving the house, drawing a smile from the blonde shinobi. "Morning, Riko-chan!" He called out cheerfully.
Just like he predicted, the orangette's face went completely red. "M-M-Morning, Naruto."
As Riko walked up to him, Naruto continued speaking. "It's been years since I started calling you that." He pointed out. "When are you gonna stop being so embarrassed? Even Haruna-chan got used to it after a while."
"I-It's different with me!" Riko argued weakly. Haruna doesn't have a massive crush on him, but that's something she can't admit to yet. "Besides, you shouldn't address girls that way so casually!"
"But I'm not." Naruto responded back, tilting his head. "I'm only addressing girls that I'm close to that way. And since you're the closest to me Riko-chan, I have to call you Riko-chan."
If Riko's face could get any redder, it would. Steaming is coming out of her ears though. 'How can he say these things so easily?!' Riko shouted in her head.
"L-Let's just go already!" Trying to shake her flustered state, she fast walked away from her and passed Naruto, heading to school.
It took just a few seconds for the blonde to catch up with his friend. "You get easily embarrassed, you know that?"
"I do not!"
"Your red face says otherwise."
"Sh-Shut up! It's your fault!"
"How is it my fault that a simple hug can make you faint?"
"It just is!"
The two friends continued bickering with one another on the way to school, though in Naruto's case, it was playful teasing. It's one of the blonde's favorite past times when with his friend; while he can't figure out why she gets so easily flustered all the time, he finds it fun to poke at her and get these reactions.
Eventually, the two settled into a comfortable silence, with Naruto gazing at the sky as he walked, while Riko was looking down in thought.
'When should I introduce Lala to Riko-chan and the others?' Naruto mused to himself. 'From the looks of things, she's gonna be staying here for a while. So I might as well introduce her to all my other friends. Have to make sure she doesn't bring up the marriage thing though…'
'Will today will be a good day to try and confess again?' Riko thought to herself. 'I could do it before we head back, or maybe ask him to help me with gardening. Maybe I can ask him no-' However, as soon as those thoughts came in her head, a hearty blush returned to her face. 'Dammit! Why can't I gather up any courage now?!'
The two friends continued walking while in their thoughts, Naruto thinking of when and how to introduce Lala to the others, whereas Riko of thinking of how and when to confess to Naruto.
"Uzumaki-san!" However, both trains of thoughts were stopped when they heard someone shouting the blonde's family name. The two turned their head forward to see that not are they at school, but that Yui Kotegawa was in front of them.
The sight of the black haired girl caused Riko to stiffen. "Kotegawa-san!"
Naruto, however, was as relaxed as ever and merely smiled at the girl. "Morning Yui-chan!"
"How many times must I tell to stop with the informalities?!" Yui exclaimed, looking embarrassed once again.
"Hmm… maybe around a hundred times?" Naruto guessed. Then he gave a cheeky grin. "Guess you have to try a hundred more."
"Grrrr…" Shaking her head, Yui calmed herself down and focused on what she wanted to discuss. "Never mind. I would like to talk about the incident a few days ago."
The blonde tilted his head at that. "Are you still trying to punish me for pranking those four pervs?"
"No." Yui shook her head at that, a frown on her face. "After failing to capture you, I decided to research the incident you were referring to. Suffice to say, I made sure those boys were punished for their shameless behavior." She then gave him a stern glare. "So next time, inform of any shameless behavior that happens! I'll make sure they get the proper punishment."
Naruto blinked for a moment, a tad surprise at what he head, before chuckling. "Will do." He answered. "Glad to hear that you got a handle of things."
"Well of course." Yui stated proudly. "I always try to maintain high morality to school."
"Yep. You do." The blonde nodded in agreement. "Though you can loosen up a little. You don't have to be uptight about it."
"I am not uptight!" Yui argue heatedly. "I just take things more serious than you do!"
"You take things way too seriously."
"And you're too lax about things!"
"Better than trying to separate the guys and girls from each other."
"That was one time! ONE!"
As Yui and Naruto bickered with each other, Riko took a sigh of relief. Looks like Kotegawa-san hasn't noticed her yet. Hopefully, it will stay that way.
However, when she gazes at the interaction between the two, she frowned. Unfortunately, she isn't the only girl close to Naruto. And while she's fairly certain Risa, Mio, and Haruna aren't interested in their blonde friend, she can't say the same for Yui.
'I need to confess to Naruto-kun soon.' She thought to herself in determination. 'Before anyone else takes him away.'
"Let cease this pointless argument!" Riko was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Yui, who was red in the face, statement. "This is merely delaying us from getting into class in time!"
That definitely sparked the orangette into action. "S-She's right!" She said panickedly, looking at her watch. "We need to go before we miss class!"
Riko then took off running in her panic. However, when she took that first step, she somehow got her foot stuck in the cracks of the sidewalk. And not only did she fell down… but she crashed into Yui
But she crashed into Yui of all people.
Naruto merely watched as Riko crashed into Yui, surprised yet not at the same time. A small blush did form on his face though. 'Yui-chan is gonna be mad…'
The scene that was created was Riko, right on top of Yui, with her face in her breast. The blackette could only look at her in shock, her mind processing what had happened.
Riko processed this faster, and slowly lift her head up with a whimper. "S-Sorry…?"
"HOW SHAMELESS!"
(Classroom)
"I don't see how you're not scared of her Naruto…" Riko moaned from her seat, head collapsed on desk. After the little incident that had happened, Yui gave Riko yet another harsh scolding. One that would've been longer, if not for the fact that they all would've been late in the disciplinary member continued.
"Probably because I'm not the clumsy one that always crashed into people." Naruto suggested teasingly. "And put them in those 'shameless positions', as Yui likes to put it."
"Shut up…" The clumsy girl moaned pitifully. Like she wanted so extremely clumsy. It makes it extremely hard to make friends with others.
Risa and Mio, who're also in class along with Haruna, let out giggles. The bluenette merely gave Riko a sympathetic look. "Riko tripped again?" Risa asked, a smirk on her face.
"Yep." Naruto confirmed. "Crashed right into Yui-chan this time."
That caused Risa and Mio to laugh once again, easily imagining what happened. That earned a side-ways glare from Riko. "The two of you enjoy my torment, I swear…"
All chatter slowly stopped when the teacher entered the room. "Hello class. Before we start, I have some news for you all." He began. "This is rather sudden, but we have a new transfer student with us. Please make sure to make the new student feel welcome."
That got some students whispering. "A new student?"
"I wonder who it is."
"Maybe it's a cute girl?"
"Please be a cute girl!"
Naruto sweatdropped at what he's hearing. 'Why is over half the guys here a bunch of pervs?'
"Alright." The teacher turned to the direction of the door. "Come on in and introduce yourself."
"Okay!"
'Heh?' The blonde perked up at the sound at that bubbly, female voice, a bit of dread coming up. 'Please tell me it isn't who I think it is…'
However, his silent pleas went unheard, as the person entering inside was none other than a certain pink-haired, alien princess. "Hello! My name is Lala Satalin Deviluke. Nice to meet everyone!" She introduced herself happily. "I hope we can all be great friends."
And that's the end. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter, we'll be continuing Lala's first day at Sainan high school.
