Naruto walked into his apartment, and became visibly surprised.

There was another girl sitting at his table, drinking from a tea cup, and Kuroka wasn't in hiding. If anything, she seemed a little more provocative than normal, with even more of her cleavage exposed. She had her kimono more loosely done near the lower body, to more exactly show off her lack of panties. She was even making sure that thie girl, who had 9 fluffy tails behind her, and fox ears on her head, was visibly uncomfortable.

"Hey Na... welcome back Master nya." Kuroka seemed a little irked to act so respectful. Normally, Naruto could guess that she would have been more teasing, asking about his dick or something.

Shizuku was just cooking.

Naturally, Naruto did the normal thing and walked over to them. When he passed by Kuroka, he smacked her on top of the head, right between the cat ears, with his fist. She naturally yelped in pain, and Naruto went over to Shizuku and smacked her on top of the head as well.

"... I would do it again ya know." Shizuku stated, showing she knew exactly why she had gotten hit. She just continued cooking, with a lump on her head, having no issue with what he had done either.

She did it, and she would do it again if given the chance.

"Good evening Naruto-sama, I am Kunou. The next in line to be the leader of the Youkai faction in Kyoto." Kunou stood up and gave Naruto a proper bow, hands modestly placed in front of her lap. She was poised, intelligent sounding, and she was vastly different than the two slutty demons that he had living in his apartment.

Naruto blinked at her, before he returned her bow, since she was showing him respect, he would show her the same thing. Actually, she was the first supernatural being so far to show him proper respect. Even Toko, who he just met, had seemed to think restraining him before showing respect was proper.

"It is actually nice to meet you, Kunou-chan." Naruto was happy to show her respect, but she hadn't earned a title deserving of his personal respect. He respected the fact that she was respectful, but she had yet to show anything that would get him to respect her as a person.

She didn't seem even slightly upset with him using -chan with her, she nodded her head and she pulled a chair out for him. She placed a cup of tea in front of him, before she sat back down.

"Hey!" Kuroka realized what Naruto was insinuating.

She got ignored.

"I'm not happy with either of you... So Kunou-chan, what brings you here?" Naruto questioned her, since this was the most peaceful meeting with a supernatural he had, had to date. She wasn't attacking him, restraining him, or molesting him in some fashion. She showed him respect, served him tea, and kept her composure in all aspects.

This was the Japanese ideal.

"I'm here on behalf of my Mother, one of the Kyoto Youkai with prophetic sensing..." Kunou took a moment and realized that Naruto seemed to not know that word. "... the ability to sense when something bad is about to happen, sensed something in this city. I came to check up on you for her. Has anything weird happened to you as of late?" Kunou questioned, with perhaps the cutest tilt of her head she could have.

She was just adorable, far more so than either of his apartment residents.

"Oh, a lot of stuff... but nothing really bad, so much as... well... I did have a really weird dream last night." Naruto sort of remembered the dream, as in, it had been so weird that he remembered every single part of it. Kuroka was the first to perk up when she heard that, since he didn't tell her a thing. Shizuku glanced back at Naruto, since him revealing what his dream could mean, could get her in trouble with Kyoto if they learned she molested him.

Kunou looked confused.

"A weird-"

"Before that, do you mind telling me a bit more about why you're concerned with me?" Naruto questioned, since other than her appearing to check on him, he had no knowledge of her or her side. Kuroka wasn't exactly great at explaining everything, so his knowledge on Demon Slayers and Youkai/Ayakashi was greatly lacking. He didn't even know why he was being protected by his apparent mortal enemies. "I mean, I'm a Demon Slayer... but you assigned a youkai to protect me, and a youkai faction is worried about my safety... it's kind of weird." Naruto pointed out more specifically where his confusion was.

She frowned at being interrupted, but she nodded.

Kuroka didn't explain this to him?

"You are a Demon Slayer who has no association with the Demon Slayer families, since your family hasn't been active in more than 100 years. You're an existence that the active families don't know of. We wish to have a Demon Slayer we are on positive terms with, so that we can reforge a new treaty, where Youkai and Demon Slayers have better relations." Kunou spoke gently without ever once looking away from his eyes. She wanted him to understand her intentions were completely pure, well her mother's intentions were pure hearted. They didn't want to use him as a weapon, or force him to join up with them if he didn't want to.

They simply wanted a better world for youkai to live in, which would in turn also make a better world for Demon Slayers. The current treaty they had was weak at best, and could break at any moment. War was always around the corner, and despite how few families existed, Demon Slayers still had a slight advantage based on which families were existing.

"Noble... unlike some people I know." Naruto glanced at Kuroka and Shizuku, who both had almost nothing but selfish reasons for being with him. Kuroka wanting babies from him, and only latter accepting him as her Master. Shizuku, both wanting children from him and wanting him to join her side. "But, until I meet your mom, I'm not helping you... I don't trust people I haven't met myself, even if they say they had good intentions." Naruto wasn't going to just easily side with this girl and her mother either.

Her pretty words weren't backed up by action yet, and while this girl held no bad intentions, her mother might hold them.

"We gave you..." Kunou took a calming breath, before she nodded her head. "That is acceptable... I guess... your dream?" Kunou questioned him about what she found more interesting.

Shizuku perked up.

"Is there a Youkai with Unlimited Potential, that gains strength from devouring others without limit?"

"Why?" Kunou wanted to hear about the dream, not that question. "... I wouldn't know, but I can ask Mother... your dream?" Kunou egged him to continue her preferred subject. Naruto in turn, pointed at his whisker marks, and then his eyes and his hair.

Kuroka raised an eyebrow.

She had always wondered why he had those, though they were adorable and would look stunning on future Nekoshou as a species.

"A thing appeared in my dream, with blond hair, blue eyes, and it said my whisker marks are proof I'm a vessel for her power. Said my ancestor came in contact with it's power in Hell... it eats Ayakashi and was defeated by the 12 Demon Slayer families." Naruto explained all he knew, which wasn't much. He had no knowledge of most youkai, and Kuroka seemed to be much the same, so he couldn't turn to her for that answer.

Shizuku thought deeply about it, trying to think of any blonde haired, blue eyed, female ayakashi that had a habit of eating their own kind, and gaining strength from it.

"That seems impossible."

"What?" Naruto questioned her, and Kunou nodded.

"Some Youkai have the ability to gain strength by eating others, but when we gain strength like that, we also devour the negative emotions and resentment of the creatures we eat. Ayakashi go drunk with power, lose their sanity, and usually get killed by their own power... to my knowledge no youkai or ayakashi could gain power without a limit." Kunou really didn't know of any youkai like that. Based on his description alone, the creature he saw in his dream was a Nine Tails. They were the only youkai species with large amounts of power, that also sported blonde hair like Naruto.

But, their eyes were all yellow now, blue eyes was deserved for a Nine Tails that reached a state of near-absolute power. Even her mother, the strongest Nine Tails she knew to exist, only had yellow eyes.

"Not true ya know." Shizuku pointed out.

"Then why hasn't Mother told me about it?" Kunou snapped at her for the correction, she of all people would know if such a youkai ever existed, not some no name Ayakashi.

"I remember, years ago, there was Nine Tails... I never saw her in person though. She ate hundreds of ayakashi, but never even once showed signs of insanity ya know. She was rumored to even make her prey hate her or fear her even more, before eating them, so that their hatred was at it's peak... she could sense negative emotions, and was immune to them ya know." Shizuku didn't remember her name or what species she was, it was a long, very long, time ago and she only ever heard rumors. Wherever that monster was rumored to appear, she made sure that she was not there.

Kunou shook her head.

Foolish Mizuchi, there was no way such a youkai, who enjoyed devouring negative emotions and gained strength from them, could exist. Nobody could sink themselves in such hatred, and come out sane.

Kuroka's eyes started to slowly widen.

"... The Shuten Doji, the Sutoku Tenno, and the Tamamo no Mae... the Fair Faced, Golden Haired Nine Tails... What nya?" Kuroka asked when she saw everyone looking at her.

She knew stuff too!

"Those 3 are myths, nothing more... even if they aren't, they were all killed. The Shuten Doji in myth drank drugged sake and was beheaded by his own sword. The Sutoku Tenno was killed twice over, and humiliated. Even the Tamamo no Mae, if legend means anything, was sealed away and her body destroyed." Kunou knew of those myths, but they were just that, myths. Nobody believed them anymore, and the Tamamo no Mae was one that was the least likely to have people believe.

A Nine Tails that caused several entire nations to experience civil war, spread disease and famine, killed many emperors across the world, and apparently rose to such heights of power that she was akin to a god, with powers to match any of the current day Top 10 Strongest.

"... well, if they were all killed it doesn't really matter nya." Kuroka realized that she had said something stupid.

Naruto thought on it.

"If they are so powerful in legend, who is to say that they couldn't defeat death and come alive again?" Naruto reasoned, since it kind of made sense to him. If the supernatural existed, then it would make sense that death itself existed as an entity. If the monsters had souls, it would only make sense for the most powerful ones to cast aside the idea of death, and come back to life in weakened forms, so that they could regain their power.

Kunou showed a scowl.

"Mother always told me those Youkai never existed, that they are myths to scare children. They don't exist, but I can assure you, I'll ask my mother about your dream. It isn't the Tamamo no Mae-" Kunou glared at Shizuku and Kuroka, for even suggesting that such a myth could exist. She sent a more kind look to Naruto, than the seductress Nekoshou and slutty Mizuchi, and bowed to him again. "-I assure you, you are always welcome to come to Kyoto personally. May I see a demonstration of your power, so see your growth?" Kunou asked Naruto, and he pointed his hand to the middle of the room.

Naruto created a mini-tornado in the middle of the room, not strong, but it was equal to the strength that he had unknowingly used the first time his powers awakened. Just a week of training with Shizuku, had granted him a greater level of power and control.

Kunou nodded gently.

She would inform her mother.
