Normalcy.

Normalcy wasn't about what was normal, in fact, normalcy was about what was normal to each person who viewed their own lives and judged themselves. To judge something as normal, was the same thing as forming an idea of abnormal and basing your very views and ideals on it. The vast majority of people on the planet, through experienced that were guided by the experiences of their parents, formed a similar ideal of what was normal. What was normal changed from country to country, and sometimes city to city, but the idea that something was normal was the same everywhere.

One person might consider walking to work in the morning, or driving to work, to be their sense or normal with many people around them viewing it the same way.

Some people considered going to school normal, with nearly all students agreeing with that line of logic.

Kuroka considered her monthly dose of murder normal.

"Seriously, this is why you're an Ayakashi, but I'm called a Yokai..." Kuroka, in her regular form, spoke as she sat on the face of the ayakashi who had sensed Naruto and made to attack the boy while he was sleeping. Kuroka had killed an Ayakashi close to once every few weeks or so, for the past year of her guard duty. She had been watching over Naruto for several years now, and the boy was growing up. The seal on his powers, as he grew stronger, continued to grow weaker, and in the last year the seal had grown weak enough that his Demon Slayer scent was starting to get recognized by those who held resentment to Demon Slayers.

His scent was strong enough to tell ayakashi he existed, but not strong enough to show that he was strong. Basically, as he was now, his scent was that of a prime steak dinner, just ready to be eaten.

Yet, his powers had yet to awaken.

"There will be more like me... more who will target your master, you damn traitor of a yokai."

Kuroka sighed in annoyance, and snapped the ayakashi's neck, the way that she wouldn't have to clean up blood before Naruto woke up. So far, he job was easy, nothing stronger than small fry had yet to show up. The first two years of her job, those had been the easiest she had ever had. She did nothing, sat around and played the part of a pet cat. The last year had changed that, and now she was dealing with regular ayakashi who sought out Naruto. Kuroka picked up the ayakashi, a lesser oni this time, and prepared to get rid of the body like always.

Kuroka's sense of normalcy was different than the majority.

-Next Morning-

"Lets see... Kuroneko, you lazy cat, help me decide which school to go to next." Naruto said with a bright and cheery smile on his face. His sleeping cat was on his list of school names, a rather short list of well known schools. About 8 school names had been crossed out with a red marker. His cat was just lazing on the table, right on his list, so he pushed her off of the list as he picked it up and put it back down on the table.

Kuroka opened a single eye.

'We're moving again so soon?' Kuroka thought to herself with a raised brow.

"Now, Konoha Academy seems really good... it has a lot of nice clubs that focus around sports and martial arts... I bet I'll find some really good competition there... or there is Kuoh Academy... that one was an all girls school until recently. A not really sports oriented, so I bet I can clear that school off my list in a few days tops." Naruto pointed to the next two names on the list in alphabetical order. He had been clearing unique and special schools, going there and challenging all of their clubs. Once he defeated all of the clubs at a school, he would move onto the next one. Some schools took longer than others, since usually he had to prove himself in some way before he was allowed into the school, or challenge the clubs.

Kuroka perked an ear up.

Kuoh... sounded familiar to her.

'... My sister...' Kuroka blinked and turned her head towards Naruto. Her sister attended that school, despite spending most of her time tailing Naruto, she had still decided to spend a little time to see what her sister was doing. The girl looked to be maturing well, so she didn't have to worry about her often, nor did she require being checked up on a lot.

Naruto noticed.

"Ooooh, interested... lets see... right for Kuoh, and left for Konoha." Naruto stated as he put his hands up close to Kuroka. His cat wasn't smart, but this was a way for him to make a choice without having to do much thinking on it. He also liked playing with his kitty, though she usually didn't play around, and just sat there doing nothing. She had been a lazy cat since the day he had adopted her, but she had helped him through... he didn't even remember much about when he met his cat. That time of his life was really just a haze to him now.

Kuroka reached up.

She put her paw up, and touched his right hand after some thought. Even if she wasn't worried about her sister, this chance to see her and possibly cause a little mischief while she was at it. Just a small prank, nothing that would cause any of the devils in that territory any permanent harm... nothing more than what Naruto was already going to do. Kuroka nearly rolled off the table when Naruto jumped into a standing position, an excited look to his eyes that she recognized as his desire to prove himself to others.

'Honestly, with his looks, in any other country he would be highly appreciated for his good nature, looks, and hard working spirit... but for these people his looks make everything harder for him.' Kuroka had wondered why Naruto didn't dye his hair. For supernatural creatures, they had a natural aura of seduction that sort of negated their usually unusual looks. It was like how she could understand any human tongue, maybe not the written language, but she could talk with any human without a language barrier.

"I'm going to take a shower, then I'm going to go to Kuoh and see about getting myself enrolled there! This is the start to a great day!" Naruto called out to himself.

Kuroka thought about following him, and watching him take a shower like she often enjoyed... one of the joys of being a pet cat. Her 'owner' had no reason to even care if she saw him naked, so she was completely free to peep and watch him whenever she wanted to without raising any suspicion. Normally, she would even if she was tired, just because she enjoyed the view. Now though, she had been up all night and was tired, and since she sensed a moderately strong ayakashi in the general area, she was going to stay on alert.

...

Well, she tried to do the responsible thing, but she didn't like fighting her urges, so she followed after Naruto. She only stopped when she glanced at the window, and saw a similar face to one she knew. She saw a younger looking Yasaka, with different eyebrows, and a different, more spiked hairstyle. It was also a very petite young girl, but the aura of a nine tails was unmistakable. Kuroka glanced back at the window, and saw the face was gone, so she huffed and jumped back on the table. Even after three years, Yasaka didn't trust her to do her job without being checked up on, seeing as she sent her daughter to make sure she was doing her job. She was honestly insulted that after all of this time, she wasn't trusted, though she didn't really give anyone any reasons to trust her either. Even Yasaka knew that she had her own reasons for accepting the job, and while after three years she had come to really love her young charge, it was kind of hard to prove that she was innocent of deviousness.

She was a wanted criminal, her reputation made it hard for anyone to trust her.

"Not following me Kuroneko? Weird, you love showers, weird cat... for liking showers." Naruto picked Kuroka up and put her on her favorite nap spot, her spot on the couch that had claw marks on it. Now, as an intelligent being, you had to ask why she used her claws to scratch up the couch... well... when she slept in cat form, sometimes she scratched in her sleep. Also, if she didn't act like a normal cat sometimes, then that would raise some suspicion that she didn't want yet.

She was only going to reveal herself when the chance to make a great first impression was highest.

When Naruto was gone, Kuroka transformed back into a human form.

"Checking up on my again Kunou? I would have thought that Yasaka-sama would trust little old me by nyow." Kuroka playfully spoke to the girl now standing behind her.

Kunou didn't seem impressed

"His scent is getting stronger, you haven't been weakening his seal, have you?"

"Of course I haven't been, the seal's power is just weakening on it's own. Not that I'm unhappy, you're too young to understand, but the quicker he becomes a man and matures his powers... this cat wants some kittens of her own nyan." Kuroka licked her lips in thought. She had been ordered to wait until Naruto was mature, but after that happened, she would go to town with seduction. She, Kunou, just couldn't understand her desire as a mature woman to want to have children of her own. She had been forced to hold herself make through several mating seasons, via sheer force of will, to not try and force herself on Naruto and mate the living hell out of him.

She meant that almost literally, she would do ALL of the things to him that she saw in his favorite porn videos and more, enough stuff that would make him throw out his porn and never need to buy more again.

She would just do it that good.

"I understand the desire, but I'm not a creature who allows her womb to do the thinking for her. Since it seems he is... unharmed... I will report you've been doing his job. I should hope that when his powers awaken, you will do your job and instruct him properly." Kunou spoke with the most forced sounding, mature voice possible. It was obvious the girl was trying to assert dominance over Kuroka.

Kuroka just grinned.

"Aye aye Kunou-chan, whatever you say, I'll do my job... I'll bet you wanna take a peek, don't you nya?" Kuroka smiled and teased the girl with the knowledge that there was a naked man, just a few short steps away from them. All she would have to do was peek into the bathroom, and she would get an eyeful. "Don't worry, I'm not the jealous type, I won't mind if you see it nyan." Kuroka spoke with her voice getting a little more playful as the joke went on.

Seeing Kunou huff and vanish into thin air gave her immense satisfaction.

Turning back into a normal looking cat, Kuroka laid her head down with the feelings of utter victory filling her. She was going to get a lecture for that later, but since Yasaka couldn't leave Kyoto, she was safe from that particular form of punishment. She loved teasing that little girl so much that it shouldn't be funny... but it was to her.

She loved her job.
