Gaara's mistake and Naruto's woe or how I learned to stop worrying and love the monster girls. "Dattebayo!"
Chapter 10 The nIce Girl's confuse love.
Land of Iron
4 years ago
(Author Thoughts: this will separate scenes ---------------------- )
The snowy ice landscape of the land of Iron, Diplomatically neutral many samurai made their home here.
The harsh weather and dangerous elements make it exceptional training grounds for the Samurai and other warriors alike but few dare traverse the deep hidden hill of the Three wolfs mountains.
The cold deadly valley said to home the mythical race of Yuki-onna "Snow-woman".
After the discovery and request from one renowned prodigy samurai, The Highest authority conspiracies to keep them a secret.
As for that one prodigy samurai he now resides within the Snow Village of the Yuki-onna Where he is happily married to a snow-woman and father to a only Daughter.
Seeing her as his only child the Samurai decided to train her in the art of swordsmanship where they regularly train outside their home a clear cement plaza, snow obscures and lines the outlines.
Slash! The young girl parried the Katana with her own. For years they both train with Bamboo mock Swords but as of a week ago they now train with the real deal.
Father and daughter stared each other down "when you're ready" The daughter nodded as clear indication that she was to deliver a blow. The duo charge at each other
a sudden slide of a door overcame the scene.
"Time for Dinner!" the elegant voice announce.
Oooft! Ow! The sudden intrusion bewildered the two competitors. The both drop their weapons crashing into each other, knocking the young girl down on her back.
"oops! Sorry did I interrupt both of you?" The Mother tease slyly trying to cover her smile.
"Ow, Mother please don't do t-that anymore!" the daughter complained.
"Sorry Mizore it won't happen again I promise" Not a very a good person of keeping them.
"Tsurara, Honey you know you're going get us hurt if you keep doing that" he chuckled nonchalantly.
"Alright, alright I am truly sorry come in Dinner is ready"
"Come on Mizore" he causally patted her head. "Yes, F-father" she timidly responded.
All three sat down to enjoy the usual family dinner the decorated room, a fire place stood in the corner it filled the room with warm ambiance; a true happy home.
"So how goes the training" The eager mother ask on her child's progress.
"Heheh she's doing exceptionally well for her age"
"But Father weren't you already widely known when you were my age?"
"Yes, but don't let it discourage you Mizore you should follow your own path, become great in you're right" She nodded.
"He's right, the only thing you should worry about is finding a nice boy and starting a family with him" she casually mention.
The father suddenly started choking on his drink. "hah! Isn't s-she a l-little y-young for t-that?" he came to.
"Not for a snow-woman, unlike you humans we don't have the luxury of wait"
"I see" trying to accept the hard fact was hard to swallow.
"And regarding you're so called "celebrity status" you weren't such a big shot when I first met you Toshiro" she giggle.
"I remember how such a clumsy boy you were"
"Ok, Ok I get it Tsurara" he chuckled. "Anyway Mizore you should just be yourself and stride in greatness on your own" "A-alright"
Knock, Knock! the samurai stood up"Excuse me" "So tell me Mizore how's you're Ninja friend from the Stone Village?" she blush "um" Before she could respond her father came back.
"Who was that?" "it was Urakaku" he gave a sigh.
"It seems that I have to go back to the summit settlement tomorrow, there's been another dispute between the Cloud and Rock ambassadors"
"My, my those Shinobis are Pickering again? They are always at odds aren't they?"
"Heh there will always be conflict in this world but that's why they come to us for a peaceful resolution"
The Daughter spoke "The summit that's where the Stone village Ninjas are?"
"Yes, and the cloud Ninja too" he answered back.
"That means…" The young snow girl stood up "Joseki will be there!" she gasp.
"Oh? That mild mannered Iwagakure genin that is accompanying the Ambassador?" the father remarked. "In other words her boyfriend" Tsurara claim.
"Mother!! T-that's e-embarrassing!" she blushed madly. Both of the parents laugh heartily.
"In that case would you like to accompany me tomorrow to the settlement?"
Mizore could only respond a open smile. "Heh I take that as a yes"
At the break of dawn they both arrived at small temp settlement; The closed quarter mile snowy area accommodates few cabins and huts with the center of the of it all a large building with a cone roofed guarded by few angled brick walls. The roof tops covered with fresh sheets of ice and snow. At their arrival they settled their horses on the stables.
A Jonin Iwagakure Ninja and Samurai assistance arrived to greet them.
"Good Morning General" the tall assistant came forward. "To you as well Okisuke"
His attention drew to the young snow girl at his side. "Well if isn't the young Lady Mizore" "is she a aspiring warrior like you General?" he chuckled "she's getting there"
"uhmm" she smiled. Her vision suddenly went dark.
"Guess who?!"
A immediate blush took her face. He finally took his hands off her eyes revealing himself.
"Joseki-kun y-you're here!" she stared at the brown hair boy smiling back.
Over the course of the day they both played and enjoy the day during the bleak afternoon The boy's squad leader informed him he was needed in the meeting.
The young girl sat by the slops of snow banks, The young ninja assured her that he would meet her there. She was delighted as she saw him coming.
"S-so what do you want to p-play? C-catch? Or kick ball?"
The boy came up to her with a melancholy face.
"Can we sit down first I want to tell you something" the girl quivered in her speech "What is it?" The boy sigh "Its been what? Three weeks since we meet right?"
"Yes, why?" the temperature grew colder. "Well it looks like my sensei and the Cloud village ambassador have reach a agreement, I am sorry but I'll be leaving tomorrow" Mizore suddenly heartache as her lollipop threaten to fall in the cold terrain. "But don't worry I'll be sure to contact you and we could play ag…" she stood up her short purple hair obscuring the face. "C-could you come with me?" her calm demeanor showed.
The two trek into a harsh blizzard near the three wolfs mountain. The blinding whiteout soon dispelled as if commanded to do so "Here this the spot I wanted to show you" Before them bloom a sea of magnificent white flowers. "wow!" the boy gasp in awe.
The both trailed closer to the bed of flowers. Mizore came to a halt.
"Can you keep a secret?" the boy was bewildered at first but gradually answered.
"Yeah, sure I can" he grin. She subtlety picked a flower "this flowers here are called Shirayuki" "Heh so it has the same name as you, that's cute" her heart jumped, blushing at the comment. "Y-yes, they have been known to have special properties to bound people together"
the boy stepped back the revelation of the flowers scared him, bound people together? Why? for what reason? He heard of special flowers like this before in legends use by a race of Monsters although the information was hazy.
"Mizore-chan why did you bring me here?" the boy responded fearfully.
She transform into her monster form, Ice claws emerge as her hair turn translucent.
"The s-secret is that I am a snow girl" the boys eyes widen. "If you're alright with that we can make a promise" she pause. "W-when I am 17 we can comeback here and pick this flowers together so we can be together forever" she blush, hoping, wanting desperately for him to accept the promise instead Mizore saw mortal fear in the boy's face.
"No" "hmm?" wishing his declining answer was just the wind playing with her mind, that she must have heard wrong. "No" he repeated. "w-why?" she frowns.
"Now that I know the truth…" He takes out a kunai in defense stance.
The kunai shine brightly as soon as she saw it her body was full of anxiety dropping flowers on the ground.
The weapon was forever scar in her mind, The kunai would become the symbol of her fears.
Her eyes felt swollen, trying to hold back tears, her heartache grew more intense.
"Do you think I am stupid?! Stupid enough to fall in love with you?! A damn Monster!!" she sobbed no longer holding back her tears. "Why?!" she let out a cry.
"I'll kill you first before you eat me you Monster!!" The Ninja charged towards her.
She was too hurt from the betrayal to retaliated. Slash! Clang!
The young snow girl open her teary eyes, the drops frozen on her cheek.
Joseki was on his back the broken kunai several feet away from him he eyed the looming figure standing before Mizore. "Father!" she gasp.
"Ninja! Stand down if you value you're life!"
"Monster! Monsters all of you!" the boy cried. "Joseki!" a red hair Iwagakure Jonin came into frame.
"ENOUGH! Joseki stand down!" his comrade scald him.
"Shut up Roshi! You're just fucking half breed monster like the rest of them!" he yelled back. "You snubbing little brat! Watch what you say! Or I'll have the General execute you for trying to murder his daughter!" The General's two Samurai assistances came to the alarming scene.
"Roshi I want you to take Joseki and leave the land at once, Inform the Tsuchikage that he and any like-minded Ninja are ban from the Land of Iron"
He then personally glared at the boy.
"Joseki your on notice, If you ever step foot in this land I promise to hack off a number body parts including that which men hold dear to themselves" he leer with a sudden smirk.
A faint noise suddenly irrupted.
Roshi stepped back.
"Are you? You got to be kidding me! Are you pissing yourself Joseki?! Of all the damn…" he dragged the boy away.
"Jeeze! lads this day have to no respect… for the…" they both disappeared in the distance.
The General suddenly felt a tug on his chest. Mizore holding onto his chest crying the tears frozen hiding her face. "Mizore…"
"General, is she alright?" "was she hurt?"
"only her…" he muttered inaudible. "Father…" she looked at him "why?…why did he fear me?"
he gave blunt answer.
"The cold reality is that some humans like Joseki fear whats different, even other humans like those who posses kekkei genkai" she held on to her father quite.
"sir I know this is sudden but do to today's experience maybe you should consider taking Chairman Mikogami's offer"
"Youkai Academy?" Mizore look to her father with teary eyes but with stern determined look.
"Can I go there…please?"
I thought I would happy living among people who I can sympathize being feared
But they were just as vicious as humans
I thought I could run away from the problems I thought I could never find someone who would understand me, who I could even remotely call a friend until…
The now teen snow girl rush blindly to the school's corridors Oooft! She was knocked into someone.
"Shirayuki! Whoa where the fire?" a tall built man halted her grabbing her shoulders. "Kotsubo-sensei?" her lollipop quivered. Okuto Kotsubo was the school's beloved P.E teacher a friendly guy type he was very hansom young adult that many of the girls had a soft crush on.
She felt her cheeks heat up as she was staring at him. She quickly look away hiding her blush. "I-its nothing"
"well ok but you know if you have any problems or need someone to talk to, do come find me, I be there when you need me" he gave a warm smile.
"t-thank you"
Kotsubo-sensei was different from any of the boys I encountered he was like Joseki but he like me is a Monster he didn't fear me I felt safe with him.
For the past weeks I went to him he comfort me, he listen to my problems he understood me. I thought he would be the one I would spent my entire life with, a person who cares about me.
I set a day where I would confession my feelings to him, if he were to accept my love it would be naturally the best day of my life. But I was wrong…
"Hey cutie!" Mizore was approach by two crimson red hair boys. The girl found herself assaulted and struggling to get escape their grasp.
"No, please leave me alone, let me go"
"we will show you some manners, like taking away that Lollipop off your mouth, they will rot your teeth hehehe" the boy snarled.
Kotsubo-sensei was no where in sight I was alone I could not fight back.
I thought he would be the one who would protect me from danger…but I was wrong…someone else did…That was when he came…
"Hey let her go!" a heroic voice shouted out. A smoke bomb blinded the two.
"hey are you ok?" the blond boy from my homeroom class asked me, I couldn't believe it he came to my rescue. I then realize he was holding me in his arms my cheeks deepen in color.
Naruto Uzumaki that was his name, for the longest time I thought of him as a bothersome class clown but now he reradiated the colors of a hero.
The bullies exchange words and attacked Naruto, he then pulled out a weapon that was scar in my fears; A kunai.
A Ninja? H-he is Ninja!? He attacked the duo. He then used a summon to call a toad to defeat the last of them, I knew about summons, a very common practice in my home village, Sled Dogs and penguins were a everyday summon.
He then approach me I was little nervous who could blame me? I was almost killed by a Ninja.
"…anyway are you alright? You look exhausted want me to take you to the infirmary?
Under his goofy bright brilliant smile he was genially concern for my health I could not believe it! He was a Ninja but he was worried about me!
After meeting him and saying my good bye I left to my room, I ran to it to conceal myself.
My body was vaulting from the adrenaline rush I decided to use this opportunity to talk to Kotsubo-sensei.
I met him outside his office. "is that so?" he took time before he responded to my confession. "yes, I like you Kotsubo-sensei! Please, just please accept my feelings!"
"You know Mizore Student and Teacher relationships are looked down on" he exchange a smile that was so wrong. "But if you're willing to commit to relationship you have prove it by giving it you're all" he placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Kotsubo-sensei!" he unbutton my shirt I struggled to hold him back.
"w-what are you doing!? Kotsubo-sensei!" "What? you said you love me don't you?"
"No! please! Kotsubo-sensei!" in a instant I froze him.
He was stuck to the wall in a icy web much like a fly. "oh no" I unfroze him he was breathing hard, laboring. I looked onto my ice claws hands I panic and ran to the one place I would always go.
"why?" I asked myself. Hugging my knees I squatted over the Cliffside.
"He didn't care about me" "He didn't really understand me" then he came into mind.
"What about…Naruto?" I had nothing better to do so I followed him on his day.
He was very interesting more than I would have thought.
But I soon learn that day I was not the only one following Naruto. The prankster kid Witch was tormenting Him and his friends in some oddball scheme to get him and his friend to fall love with her, I couldn't let anyone hurt others just to take what they want so I intervene.
"Its not nice to pull tricks on others to get what you want" I scaled her as I froze her two instruments of mischief.
Later Naruto and his friends forgave her and extend the arm of friendship to her.
Naruto has a kind heart, but Such a weird bunch of friends those things I can't come to comprehend.
Later on I saw a more vulnerable side to Naruto that I could understand.
For the past few days it was raining as if the nature itself was in tune with Naruto's being.
I soon learn from the gossip from his band of odd friends that he was a orphan, his parents passed away on his birthday. That would explain his absence for the next few days.
"Naruto…" shedding a frozen tear. To my surprise I saw Naruto encased in melancholy, he prowled the school all over it seems he was stalking his friends.
Ironic That I was doing the same thing to him.
On the date of his birthday all his friends were up in his room. One of my hobbies was that of creating figurines, I created a special one for him to add a personal touch I ingrained it with his three distinct whiskers that were on his cheeks. I wonder where he got them? Birthmark? or something more? I package it into a simple lavender box.
I quickly and sneakily came to his door. *Knock* *Knock* I could see him "uh Hello?" he said.
A few weeks later the school held a event in which students had to join clubs to adapt to the human world.
I suspected even Naruto gets annoyed by his oddball friends once in a while.
After Isolating himself he soon challenge a second year student in a karate combat.
I could feel myself cheering for him as he came in as the victor, Naturally in the crowd I was not notice, I glance at the same little witch who was his firend cheering too, she was too small to be heard.
The bigboob airhead that was his self proclaim girlfriend dragged him into the school's pool, Although I could see he was too scared to accept her as his girl, Could I have a chance to be with him?
Naruto was soon ambush by the mermaids. It was a chance to return the favor and save him.
But not once but twice…
For sometime now I knew Ginei Morioka was indeed the Peeping tom but to frame Naruto for his own dirty deeds was unforgivable. Gathering evidence I gave the Pictures to the little witch.
Its been three weeks now. Having made peace its seems Naruto has join the Newspaper club. I took a copy, a section of article caught my eye. Author Naruto Uzumaki
Headline "Naruto's awesome gardening tips" Naturally I read every detail and word.
"Naruto is truly amazing" I remarked.
I set a day where I would confession my love to him; Tomorrow…This time I know I found the one. Because I need him…He needs me; two lost kindred souls that need each other.
And I won't let anything get in my way of my happiness.
Newspaper club
"Achoo!" Naruto sneezed harshly snot and spit all over the laptop screen.
"Aww man don't tell I am getting a cold! Is there a draft here?!" he shivered. "are you sick Naruto?" Moka came up to him feeling his forehead.
"Or could it be someone is taking about you behind your back?" Gin fluttered his copy of the newspaper sitting like big shot snub on his desk. "Could it be you pervy sempai?" Naruto sniped back. He lowered the paper obscuring his face.
"Who'd me? It can't be, after all I am sitting front of you so fuck off"
"what a smart mouth werewolf" Gaara came in to the dispute. "What Gaara? Still afraid of the big bad wolf?" he transform, looming over him. "Boo!" Whack!
He was slap to the ground by a pillar of sand. Gin werewolf whimpered in pain.
"I learn to face my fear when I could hurt them" he walked over to Naruto.
"Naruto are you well?" "Heh just peachy…Achoo!" The little witch came up to him.
"hmm its definitely some kind of virus but I don't think that is cold" she examine him closer " is this going take long?" He complained nasally.
"What if its that virus we heard about back in our world!" Kurumu lament. She rushed to hug Naruto suffocating him. "gah!" "Naruto please don't die on me! You're my destined one!" she bawled.
"Idiot" Magic! hitting and yanking the Succubus off.
"I am pretty sure its not H1N1 Desu" Yukari assured her. "Swine flu?! Please!" Gin grumble.
"you know about it?" Kurumu asked him. "So you're from our world too?" Yukari probed him for answer.
"Yeah I know about everybody is bitching about it there especially the humans, as for my origins I was born in Osaka Japan but recently move to Ontario Canada"
"Canadian eh?" The succubus teased. "Hey Kurumu let me see your beaver" he smirked "Pervert!" she slashed at his face "Enemy of woman Desu!" Yukari pounced on him too.
"what are they talking about?" Moka remarked on the whole scene.
"Must be strange customs on their world" Gaara could only find it plausible.
Meanwhile Naruto took upon himself to slumber on the keyboard.
Next day
"This is the Newspaper club!" "would you like a copy of our newspaper?"
"wow this day's edition of Naruto's Gardening tips!" "how do you do it Naruto-kun?!"
"you're advice and techniques work wonders on my flowers!" girls from every year swarm to Naruto. "Hehe oh nothing really special just a hobby of mine" he chuckled embarrassingly. "Hey Naruto how about we have a private session in my room so you could tend to my garden and deflowering… "a admire winked.
"eh Ooook if you need help on your garden I be happy to help" he grin with thumps up oblivious.
"Did she does…" Moka blush. "How is he so lucky! I can't ravel my mind on it!" Gin cried. "I don't think hes familiar with the term"
"Hes mine!" Yukari and Kurumu whacked the poor girl away. "Naruto! Why do you keep flirting with other woman!!" "flirting?! She only needed help!" Naruto pleaded.
"Yahoo!" Kurumu cheered. "huh well what do you know another hit this week!" Naruto tangled the empty box which full of newspaper a while ago.
"We have to celebrate our hit series Desu!" as always Gaara was neutral on the extravagant event. "We could have a party at club room" Moka suggested.
"Yeah a party lets get a keg Desu!"
"Heheh Yukari you're little too young to be drinking illegally" Kurumu teased.
"You're right I wouldn't wanted to end up a airhead like you" "Shut up twerp"
"huh?" Kurumu looked around.
"anyway where's Gin?" looking around he was nowhere around.
Gaara reading Icha-icha Tactics "I could only imagine that hes flirting"
"Yeah your probably right"
"right about what? I was just reading out loud" he concealed the book in his blazer.
"I just hope there will be ramen, if so I am in!" Naruto joined in smiling.
Its nice to see Naruto smiling after all hes been through, when hes around us his friends he so energetic I hope Moments like will last along as we are together, we can truly live happily.
"come on Moka-san! Lets get partly supplies and some instant ramen! Haha!"
Sounds of steps approach them.
"hmm You guys are weird Haha"the group turned around.
"I see the newspaper club gets along well"
"those are the kind of things I don't understand"
Before them stood a pale girl with long purple hair wearing a white shirt with dark blue sleeves she wore purple striped leggings.
"its you" Naruto recognized her. The young witch came up from behind him. "its her! That weird girl who gave me the pictures Desu!"
"Nice to see you again Naruto-kun" the girl stride closer to him.
"Hehe Its about time you finally came back, since I saved you I was worried that since you didn't come back that'd you might be sick or something"
Mizore blush. "uh newspaper… Do you have a copy left?"
"huh?" he search himself he saved a copy to send back to Sakura, Iruka and Kakashi but there always a spare. "oh yeah found one" he handed the copy to her eager hands.
She leaned in closer as if examining him.
"you know watching you from afar I couldn't tell but up close you're a lot cuter"
"uhh" he gawked at her "see ya!" she turned around leaving the scene.
"who was she?" Yukari asked. "Hey wasn't she in our class earlier at the beginning of the year?" Moka remembered the quite girl.
Naruto tired to fill in the info as best he could "Yeah her name is Mizore one morning I found her being gang up by buncha thugs and I end up beating the crap out them"
"Did she say she's been watching him from afar? A stalker no doubt!" Kurumu embrace Naruto from behind. "She better not get any funny ideas about Naruto"
"Stalker? I heard of a crazy stalker earlier this year who supposedly had a crush on her teacher after declining her feelings she ended up freezing him" Yukari gossiped.
"you better watch out Naruto, weird Girls can really be attached to a guy especially if they end up saving them"
Heh like you?
He came to her defense. "Hey come on I don't think she's bad, she's probably misunderstood and maybe a little weird but she's not all bad" he sneezed.
Gaara came forward.
"Maybe but we can't rule out that she's a stalker and may try something"
"Keep a eye on her" he suggested.
Naruto sigh much to the annoying accusations as well with the tiredness of the flu.
"Ehh anyway its almost time for class we should get going" the group went off.
Gaara left for the other direction.
"Hey Gaara buddy where you going?" the confuse Naruto asked.
"I'll catch up with you later I forget something in my room"
"Alright see you in class Gaara-san" Moka waved.
"I would have never thought of using that, oh Naruto your truly amazing" Mizore leaned against the trunk of a dead tree. As soon as she got a copy she fleetingly read his article even writing down her own comments many of which flooded the page.
"Just what do you want with Naruto?" a sudden voice irrupted the tranquil scene.
"Huh!?" she jumped to see the redheaded Kazekage observing her.
"Are you dangerous?" he asked her.
"N-no" she muttered quietly. "why?" withdrawing herself a little.
"you were in love with a teacher, and you attacked him when he decline, I don't want that to happen to Naruto"
"No! hes a liar! a-and It won't happen with Naruto…because I know he would accept my feelings, he needs me…I need him"
"You're emotionally unstable, insecure about your feelings and erratic when it comes to problems" gave a blunt analyze.
The temperature harshly dropped.
"SHUT UP! You…y-you don't know…I…you don't understand, what gives you the right to say that?!"
"Because I was once like that until Naruto saved me and I won't let anybody hurt him"
"that's why I need him!…please don't get in my way"
"What if he rejects you? Will you able to reconcile with that? Be at peace?"
"No…Liar! he won't reject me…I'll take him I'll make happy along as hes with me…even by force" I am such a hypocrite she thought.
Sands shifted around Gaara. "I won't let anybody hurt Naruto"
"No…No liar please leave" The ground crystallized with sheets of ice.
"I won't let anybody get in the way of my happiness!!"
Ice suddenly irrupted around Gaara "Whats this?!"
"ahhhh!" A sound of anguish could be heard echoing in the woods.
"Achoo!" The final school bell rang. "Heh! where the hell is Gaara? Hes late!"
And what the hell is with this cold?! It won't give up, its feels so strange its like I am getting weaker.
"I hope hes ok" Moka whispered.
"Meh I could care less about that creepy redhead" Kurumu criticized
"how awful who asked you anyway?" She sniped back.
A sudden stink eye staring contest advent between the two Monster girls.
Meanwhile his mind was tracked on his friend. "Damn its not like Gaara to miss class where the hell is he?"
"It seems now even Gaara-kun is gone" The disenchanted teacher meowed. "First Shirayuki-san now him"
The door abruptly open many students in awe as the girl walked in class.
"Mizore-san you finally came back to class, I hope your feel better now"
She nodded taking her seat a front of Naruto.
He lightly tapped her back. "Hey Mizore-chan have you seen Gaara around?"
he whispered "You know that redheaded creepy guy"
She looked back at him with a blank face before nodding no "No, sorry I can't say I have Naruto"
"oh damn where the hell is that guy? Its not like him to be late" he sat back worriedly.
After class Naruto and girls gathered to discuses the after school celebration party.
"How many sodas should we bring?" Moka checking down her notebook.
"About 2 or 3 should be enough, I'll bring some homemade cookies and desserts plus a good helping size of my Yahoo Kurumu love ramen for my Naruto, right?" she gazed at him.
"Naruto?" He stood idle his blue eye looking down; in his own little world.
Damn I am stressing out! Something happen to Gaara! I Just know it!
Perhaps hes dead Hehehe… a voice growled.
Who asked you?! You damn fox!
Hahaha I just love pulling your strings boy…
Be careful boy if you left your emotions get to you I may have the advantage over you…
Heh fat chance!
Heheh we will see…
"Naruto-kun? W-whats wrong?" Moka distress.
Yukari waved her hand trying to catch his attention.
"Gah! Just mentioning your awful food horrified him into the brink of insanity! You broke him Desu!!"
Naruto stood lifeless. "Shut up twerp don't insult my cooking, I know what to do to snap him out of it"
She started rubbing her breast up and down on the pensive Naruto.
"I could wake a guy out a coma with this, Come on honey you can't resist"
He started to turn red, bushy madly. "Don't tell me you can't feel this"
"K-Kurumu-chan!" he struggled to keep his public dignity intact.
"Kurumu-chan let go!" The vampire pulled the infatuated Succubus from him.
"oh man! I am not used to that!" he regain his thoughts.
Seeing as he was consciousness again Moka asked him. "Naruto, whats wrong? Why were you in a daze?"
"Its about Gaara whats suppose you think happen to him? I mean its not like him to miss class at the last minute"
"Maybe he was sick the whole time and decided to stay at his room" Moka offered a possible scenario.
"Or maybe that creepy guy just went to his room to jack-off to that adult book that he carries around" Kurumu offered a disturbing lustful scenario.
The little witch drooled at the last outcome.
"Really?! Than I better go there to join him, I-I mean see if hes sick…to help get better… bye!" Yukari ran off. A sweat drop of horror show up on the remaining group.
"that kid is really messed up"
"Anyway maybe both of you should get the party supplies, I am going clear my head and try to look for Gaara"
"well ok, but don't worry about Gaara-san I am sure hes ok"
Naruto strolled down a empty hallway only suddenly have something light smack him on the head.
"huh? whats this?" on the ground was green notebook with a decorative white rabbit, on the bottom showcased its owner. "Mizore?" "that's mine" A soft voice called out from above. "huh!?" his eyes locked at the pale girl who was standing high on the walls before coming down.
"You can use Chakra control?" The Girl nodded "yes, I take you're a Ninja Naruto-kun"
"heheh yeah" he grin.
She reached into her pocked and pulled out the copy of the newspaper from earlier.
"You're article, its as useful and interesting as ever"
"oh so your fan too Heheh" he chuckled sheepishly. She blush "I only read them because you wrote them"
"That notebook your holding is a scrapbook made out of all the articles you written"
"huh?" Heh wow she may be weird but… he open the scrapbook.
Weird nothing! She is extremely weird!! Whats with the comments!? Right and left in all
Directions! Damn this is too much!!
"heheh wow thats a lot comments" he laughed nervously.
"so what do you think? I wrote my thoughts on every page"
"Heheh it's a little too excessive don't you think?"
"Naruto…" she paused timidly.
"I wanted to tell you that…I lo…" she muttered.
"Huh?" "I am sorry I didn't get that, what was that?"
She coyly looked around before regaining conversation with him.
"Naruto…if you got time I want you s-show you a s-spot that I like"
The scenic calm shallow lake is contradictory to the rest of the Youkai landscape,
It could pass as "normal" to any human.
"Yay!" a stone skipped nine times before sinking into the shallow water.
"Did you see that Naruto? It skipped nine times!"
He picked a nice oval stone. "Oh yeah? I can beat that!" lining himself for a throw.
"Haha! watch out! Heres the Uzumaki special!!" the stone race across the lake.
Blob! falling in without much of a skip.
"You missed, not even a skip" "But that was a practice shot! I swear!"
She giggled at his outrageous performance.
"Hehehe well Its time for me to go, maybe Gaara is at the club room with the rest of my friends"
"No, Naruto wait!…why do you want to leave me for them?"
"Huh? Well they are my friends come on why don't you come too?"
"No…I just want you for myself"
"why? And further more why did you bring me here for? I am starting to think you didn't bring me here just to hang out"
"The real reason I brought you here….I wanted to tell you…that…that I love you!"
"Mizore…" surprise at the confession.
"But even then…even saying that I will never have your full attention"
"Even now your thinking about the others…always thinking about them that's why I have to get rid of them"
"Mizore!!" he quickly perform hands signs.
Puff! Puff!
A eerie ambiance settled in the club room, Moka sat down with the party supplies ambiguous about the celebration.
"Now I am starting to get worried…Naruto-kun, Gaara-san I hope they are ok, I hope they will come"
The door creeks open.
"I am serious! Gaara was not in his room I couldn't find him anywhere! What if hes been kidnap!!" Yukari let her imagination run wild, coming to Kurumu for comfort and reinforcement.
"chill! I am pretty sure Naruto found him and probably right now in the club room with Moka" She giggled.
"Besides with this concentrated dose of Love potion ramen Naruto will realize he doesn't need other woman especially stalkers, that he will only need me!"
"Kurumu your hopeless, figures the only way you can get a man is by taking away his will, inescapable in the pursuit of happiness Desu"
"Naruto! Gaara! is that you?" her eyes widen as she saw the strange girl in the room.
"Huh? Shirayuki-san?"
"I am sorry but I am afraid Naruto won't be coming…As for Gaara he will join you soon in bereavement" she pushed her down chocking her. "W-what are you doing?!"
"you're a eyesore, you and the rest of them are keeping me away from Naruto"
"Naruto! H-help!"
Her hand transformed into a sickle.
A ice cold drop fell on the fear trench Moka.
She is crying?…
A cluster of tears filled her lifeless eyes.
"Moka just please cease to exist for the sake of my happiness"
"Kurumu! Yukari!" two sets of voices went after them.
"Eh Naruto? Wait two Narutos?!" "They must be clones"
"Moka is in trouble! Hurry! To the clubroom!"
Naruto retreated into the now frozen lake as the obsessed girl approach him.
"Mizore! What are you doing!?"
"your too precious to me to be let escaped" she said coolly.
He shuffled away "aww crap!" he stumped into a force behind him.
"I can control Ice with my will" a another her appeared before the Ninja.
"I could even make another me"
He struggled to find a safe area only to be immobilized by ice binding his body.
"Mizore! don't do this!" he labored in his speech.
"I am sorry Naruto, But I been hurt and deceived too much in the past, But I know you genially cared about me, the only one boy who cared about me"
"Don't!"
"I could see it in your eyes that you care, that's why I need you…please be mine"
She caressed his cold numbing cheeks. "I could see that you suffered scars of prejudiced
Too, It was destiny for us to meet to ease our pain together…That's why you need me and no one else"
"Please…do-don't…you don't have to…"
"You don't have to do this Mizore!!" the clones halted Mizore's blade weapon.
"Naruto? But how?"
"your not the only one who could make clones"
"Please don't do this! Don't resort to this!"
"But this the only way for us to be together, I have to get rid of them they are a nuisances"
He looked at her with stern eyes giving his argument.
"No! I know your lonely and have been hurt in the past I can related to that but listen to me!" One of the clones spoke.
"There is a better way! if you keep thinking and acting like this your only going to isolate yourself even more! When I was growing up I was mock and hated but I worked hard to earn friendships and to get people to change their attitudes about me" the other clone gave his answer.
"I know how hard it is to be lonely so please lets all of us be friends!" he extend his hand to her.
Moka sympathized with the lonely girl.
"Please Shirayuki-san lets be friends like you I know whats its like to be lonely but together we could make that loneliness disappeared"
The snow girl started to melt.
"…I am sorry" she gently pushed Naruto's hand away.
The ice doll dispelled completely as well as the shadow clones leaving Kurumu and Yukari to tend to Moka.
The original Naruto crumbled to the ground as the ice retreated from his numb body.
"M-Mizore please…"
"Naruto your too much, You have such a kind heart…I can't bear myself to be seen with someone as amazing as you…Good bye"
"Mizore wait!" she disappeared as soon as he got to his knees.
The clubroom
Naruto sat quietly not even bothering with the cold he had while everybody else was gathering their thoughts about the whole situation.
Kurumu growled hitting desk with tremendous force. "Damn that stalker freak! To go as far as to try to kill any of us to get Naruto! that's unforgivable!" "I agree, if wasn't for Naruto's quick thinking who knows what would happen to Moka those stalker girls are super creepy!"
"Guys please, she was just misunderstood…I think she was just confuse I saw regret and remorse in her eyes"
"who knows…I probably would ended up like her if I didn't have friends"
Kurumu exasperated. "Idiot Moka! Quit trying to defend her! She tried to kill you! And she probably got to Gaara!"
"Kurumu…Please just shut up" Naruto muttered.
Kurumu barrenly seated herself. "Naruto…I am just saying the truth I mean you can't justify her actions, you can't save everyone and redeem them"
Naruto did not bother to respond.
The door whisked open.
The dog-tired Gin rushed into the room. "Guys! Glad your all here I got some bad news"
"What is it Gin?" Moka asked.
The Nekonome teacher entered after him.
"Its about Gaara-kun hes at the hospital"
Gaara laid peacefully in his bed bandages raveled his body, his skin more paler and blisters covered much of his body.
"W-what happen to him?!" Naruto looked at Gin and his homeroom teacher for answers.
"When he was found he had bruises and cuts everywhere like hes been in a struggle" Gin explain. "After Kotsubo-sensei found him I helped carry him to the hospital"
"Kotsubo-sensei?"
"Yes me, I am the one who found your little friend injured" the tall built man stepped into the room.
"Nekonome-sensei I have reason to believe your student Mizore Shirayuki is the one who attacked Gaara"
"What?!" Naruto stood up anxious.
"What make you say that Kotsubo-sensei?" Nekonome-sensei asked.
He took the conversation with nonchalant tone.
"When we found Gaara he was covered in frost along with heavy bruises,
As you know she's snow woman being able to control ice and her history of getting into trouble pretty much makes her the prime suspect"
"In fact this little incident will lead to her Expulsion, her second attack and along with the numerous absences it be best for her to be expelled" he smiled.
"Her second attack?" Naruto asked him.
"Yes, a few months ago she had crush on a teacher because that kind of love is not accepted She attacked him out of sheer anger in revenge"
"oi you talk like it was a personal experience don't tell you were the…"
"Yes I am the teacher she attacked I know from first hand experience what kind of a emotional wreck she is and how dangerous"
"I want to get her side of story first, Nekonome-sensei whats her dorm number?"
She scribbled down the number.
"Here!" she passed the information to him.
"You shouldn't bother Naruto she's a lost cause it be better if she didn't exist at all" he smirked.
"I also have first hand experience about her, I know she wouldn't attacked Gaara without a reason"
"Heh suit yourself, by the way if she isn't in her room she might be at the cliff near the dorms"
"Kurumu, Yukari, Gin head over to the dorms at no means provoke her just bring her to me" he handed the information.
"But Naruto! Just give up on this girl!" Kurumu latch herself onto him.
"I don't give up on anybody" he said with reinsurance.
"Moka come along with me"
"right" she nodded.
The Cliffs
The troubled snow girl observed the crimson sea as the waves crashed onto the rocky walls.
Tranquil scene the girl at time to gather her thoughts. "Mizore!" she turned around to see Naruto and Moka hurried to her.
"Naruto, why, why did you came?" she asked fearfully.
"Its about Gaara, Hes at the hospital with serious injuries I came here to hear your side of the story why did you attacked him?"
She stared at him with a alarmed face saying nothing.
"Please Shirayuki-san if you don't explain yourself you might be expelled!" Moka pleaded.
"He shouldn't be at the hospital his injuries shouldn't be severed I do admit I froze Gaara after losing my temper with him I warned him but I immediately defrosted him afterward he was still conscious and I even apologize to him"
"Believe me, he should not have been seriously injured" she reinsured them.
Flashback.
"ugh!" Gaara fell limp as he scuffled to the ground. The snow girl retreated realizing what she has just done. "I am sorry, please don't tell Naruto, I am sorry" the girl ran away as Gaara got back to his feet. M-my body… He stood still.
"She froze my sand armor its frozen from the inside out I can't move" he muttered.
"Heh Having trouble after your little quarrel with the lovely Mizore?" a sarcastic voice called out.
"Kotsubo-sensei…"
"Heh That miserable girl is too much trouble to be kept in this school, she does need only another notch of bad behavior to get her expelled for good"
He looked at the immobilize Gaara with a cruel sinister stare.
"How would you like to participate in a frame to get that bitch out of here for good? Jeeze why I am even asking you? tch its not like you have a choice heheh"
He helplessly could only watch in horror as the monstrous form envelope the helpless victim.
After the result Gaara was left nearly beaten to death.
"Heh Now I just need a alibi" he spotted Gin taking picture of girls as they ran the track.
"Heh you should just let it go like I said Naruto" the assailant teacher approach them.
Naruto and Moka yelled. "Kotsubo-sensei!?"
"you know it wouldn't be strange if a girl like Mizore just happen accidentally fall of the cliff and be ruled out as a suicide"
His attention drew to Naruto and Moka. "it also wouldn't be farfetched if it were a murder suicide case" he chuckled.
The statement angered Naruto. "What the hell are you taking about?!"
"I am sorry but your friend had the play a important part in my revenge for that bitch freezing me" he gave a scornful apology.
"I only did it to protect myself! You were trying to take advantage of me!"
"I was scared! You were harassing me!" she cried.
"Heh you shouldn't complain of what happens to you!"
"You!…Basterd!!" Naruto yelled.
"you're the worse of scum! I'll get rid of you for what you done for hurting Gaara and more importantly for all that you done to Mizore! I'll give you payback!!" He pulled out a kunai. Charging towards him.
"Ghak!" Naruto was lifted in the air, his neck bind by a monster tentacle.
"Naruto!!" the girls yelled.
"Hehehe! Just collateral damage" Snap! the tentacle tighten the grip blood projectile from his mouth.
He threw Naruto's lifeless body over cliff into the sea. The girls were horrified at the result.
"Heheh just two to go" as the now monstrous kraken assailant advance towards them,
"ugh n-no" Mizore quivered too afraid to move.
"Mizore" Moka whispered. "run! I'll hold him off as long as I can, you just run! as fast as you can!"
"n-no I can't"
"Mizore please don't make Naruto's sacrifice in vain"
She nodded, getting up to leave.
"Heh ITS USLESS YOUR BOTH ABOUT TO DIE ANYWAY!!" Kotsubo loom over the two.
A huge demonic aura menace the event. A red cloak force shot up from the cliffs in incredible speeds.
The red shroud creature landed harshly between Kotsubo and the girls creating a small crater .
The Shape of a red fox bubbling chakra envelope Naruto as he squatted on all fours like feral beast.
"N-Naruto?…" Mizore muttered in disbelieve as she the silhouette chakra sprout a single long red tail and fox ears.
Kotsubo withdraw backing up several feet away from him. "Just what the hell are you?!"
"You should be dead you freak!!" he stood still too afraid to move.
Narutos lips curled. "oh! sorry to ruin it that for you" he said scornfully.
The jinchuriki lifted his left hand forming a blue red outline chakra ball.
His inhuman red eyes squinted. "I'll make sure to return the favor!" Naruto ran off to him in blinding speeds, The Rasengan cutting the ground as he ran.
Kotsubo was left in horrifying pain as the ball ripped into his body.
His body scatter across the field finally halting against a tree, he was beaten within a inch of his life as Naruto stridden towards him ready to deliver the final blow.
"Naruto please stop!" Moka yelled. "Leave him alive for the authorities to settled with him! Please don't kill…"
Naruto turn to face her. She was horrified as he grew another tail his face became more feral and less human.
Give in boy…I give all my power so you never have to die…Give in!!
"Naruto?!"
"this isn't Naruto…I-I can feel that is not N-Naruto" Mizore whispered while Moka sheltered her behind. "I-its something else…"
Naruto stalked them, he sauntering over them like a beast. The red chakra and feral features intimated them.
It's the Kyubi…Its taking over Naruto. Inner Moka warned her other self.
"Naruto…Don't give in" Moka said breathlessly as he extend his claw to them.
"Naruto!" Kurumu, Gin and Yukari ran towards them seeing the unsavory display.
He was about to unleash a attack before others held him down.
"Naruto what are you doing?!" she grabbed his left arm while Gin grabbed the other.
"Just'd what the hell are you doing?! Have you gone insane?!" Gin weighted in.
Naruto could only respond with a low growl and snarl.
Moka reached caressing his left cheek "Don't give in"
"Please Naruto" Mizore did the same. "this is not you, I don't know what this is but its not you please come back"
"Hey! Don't take advantage and try to feel up my Naruto!" the irate succubus yelled.
Ignoring her Naruto calmed down.
The chakra cloak notably started to shrink then finally subsided.
Naruto withdrew himself before regaining consciousness.
The next day
Infirmary
"Sucks to be in the hospital again huh Gaara? Hehehe" Naruto taunted.
"your lucky I am recovering otherwise I would give a thrashing" he smiled.
"Although your right, as a Kage I feel a blow to my ego…"
Meanwhile the rest of the newspaper club stepped into the room to see Gaara and more significantly talk about Naruto's unusual behavior.
Gin came forward. "So Naruto what'd was up with you? I know as werewolf I tend too loose a little control but man you were a unreasonable beast" he shook his head.
"I am concern Naruto! you felt like a whole different person! Why were acting this way?" a nervous Kurumu asked.
"yeah you were so scary! We wouldn't know what you could have done! " the little witch cried.
Naruto gawked his head at Gaara and Moka looking for answer to give to them, they were his friends but could they comprehend the existence of a demon inside Naruto? Will they feel safe around him? The questions Naruto thought.
Kurumu saw the hurt in Narutos eyes.
"you know we don't have to worry about that along as were all safe it doesn't really matter"
Naruto smiled. Thanks Kurumu
Satisfied She tried to change to topic. "by the way where is that Mizore chick? you think after exposing the frame and landing that Kotsubo guy in jail she would come in thanks us"
Knock, knock! series of light taps hit the door.
The pale head of Mizore peeped in.
"Good morning everybody…Naruto" she timidly greeted.
"We were just talking about you, hello Mizore-chan" Moka greeted her.
While the rest stared at her new look.
"hey…whats with your hair?" Naruto notice the change more than anything.
"I tired cutting it what do you think?…I wanted make small changes for myself so I started with my hair"
"it looks super cute!" Yukari admired the look.
"Heh well it's a start, I would recommend you to my salon stylist but you know she's in a different world" Kurumu smirked.
Mizore drew her attention to Gaara. "I would like to apologies to you Gaara for what I did to you and to the rest for you my behavior, I am truly sorry"
They all nodded and accepted the apology.
"Mizore…" Gaara spoke "I am sorry for saying the words I use to describe you I thought I saw my old self in you…"
She nodded.
"Heheh come on Gaara what did you call her a psycho? You know that's not nice" he chuckled only to be hit by slap of sand.
They laughed at the comical event.
"Also if you don't mind I would like to join the newspaper club too"
The suave Club president approached "alright you're in but any particular reason you would want to join…perhaps me?" he smirked.
Ignoring his "charm" she approach Naruto.
"Naruto…Now that I have a new lease on life I want you to be with me, be my boyfriend and start a family with me" she blush.
"uhh!" Naruto alarmed face says it all.
"WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU!!" Kurumu yelled at the top of her lungs.
Grabbing Mizore by the shirt. "How dare you try to hit on my destine one!!" while Mizore stayed calm and stoic with slight smile.
"Listen to me stalker girl Naruto belongs to me! Me! ME!!"
"Hes mine…" she gave her passive response which anger Kurumu even further.
"Hes mine!" "Hes mine…" "Hes mine!!" "Hes mine…" "He is mine!!!" the two went back and fourth.
"Your both wrong!" Magic! two bronze pots materialize above the two halting them.
"Naruto Belongs to me and Moka Desu!" Yukari jumped.
"Hey what I am a prize?…" Naruto muttered in defeated tone. Gaara and Moka quietly comforted him.
"You'd know since we all have so much energy why don't we take a picture of the new newspaper club for next newspaper edition " Gin readied a camera shot.
They smiled as they the camera photograph the perfect moment and a new friend.
Two weeks later
Mononoke Arcade
"Yay were finally here!" after weeks of trekking The two Akatsuki Members arrived at the pocket dimension of the fancy shopping centers of Mononoke Arcade.
The crowded city was filled with many different shops of all kind super markets, movie theaters and even some questionable shops for adults, at the far south stood a large crystal blue lake a harbor connected the water to the city.
A advertising stand lay out all of volumes of icha-icha series plus the two movies and the movie poster for the another upcoming movie base on the third book.
"Tch They even sell this crap here? I am disappointed of the taste of monsters here hmmm"
Deidara took a glimpse behind him only to see Tobi twirling and skipping like a fool.
"TOBI!" He yelled at his teammates annoyance.
"Yes Sempai!" he halted his act.
"Act respectable here! Don't you have any sense of dignity?!" he huffed.
Tobi stood perfectly still without much as a flinch.
"Tobi?" he asked at his partners sudden unusual behavior.
He again did not respond rather still standing stoically.
"Look when I said act respectable I didn't mean shut yourself from world completely yeah"
A sudden growl irrupted. "I am hungry!!" he yelled.
"I am going to find us some food Deidara-sempai!" Tobi ran south towards the crowds.
"Your suppose to find the three tail!! Not fill your gut you stupid little rookie shit!!"
Tobi made his way to the docks, many resident fishermen made their living here many fancy restaurants reside her but few who like to eat from the source go to small run sea snack shacks.
"two please" asked the chef.
The polite man was dress in a green kimono, lime green straight hair the most unusual
defining feature of him was the brown wooden eye patch on his right eye.
"Here you go!" he handed two skewered Eomukbar.
He paid him.
"Thank you!" he ran off with them in hand.
Meanwhile Deidara when off to his search before hearing the voice making his body shiver.
"Sempai!" the goofy fellow ran to him. "Here some tasty delicious seafood!"
The frustrated Akatsuki member sigh before taking the generous treat.
"Tell me Tobi how can you be so carefree? Were in a mission after all I wouldn't be surprise if you were executed by the leader for insubordination Hmmm"
"Aww come on Deidara-sempai! You take me to likely! Beside I bought this yummy food and plus!! The one who sold me the food was the three tail himself!!"
He pointed at the boardwalk where the said chef resided.
"Hehehe Tobi you have done well yeah"
He reached into his bag full of clay using the mouths in the palms of his hands he created a live clay spider. The spider hurried down and skitter towards the crowds trying to avoid being accidentally stepped on. It made its way to the shack where the humanoid three tail did his food business.
Bam!
A huge explosion scattered the docks many innocent bystanders flee while other unlucky few perished in the initial explosion. The bloom of dust clouds snaked its way to the busy arcade.
"Come on Tobi, lets acquire our target" Deidara sprinted towards confuse crowds.
"Hehehe! This going to be fun!!" he followed.
Few of the survivors landed on the lake including the Three-Tailed beast. The survivors omitted their human forms to their monster ones.
The Giant turtle that was the three-tailed submerged into the lake.
Meanwhile Deidara took to the skies with a clay bird.
Tobi went after it after water.
"Heh this will take care of it" He molded a live clay fish bomb tossing it into the sea.
The tailed beast swam to escape only to be halted by Tobi who was now face to face with the beast.
"Just want do you want with me?" the beast asked him.
Under his masked a red glow hypnotize the beast.
"SLEEP" a deep voice commanded.
The beast struggled. Soon the tree tomoe of the Sharingan overlaid on the beast's left bloodshot eye. It did as it was commanded and slumbered.
The clay fish soon swam up to the two.
"Damn it Deidara…"
A huge explosion rippled the surface. "Did I get him?" Deidara asked to be ensured.
Tobi resurface holding onto the human Three-tail Giving Deidara a thumps up.
Returning to the arcade everybody scattered for safety not willing to confront the two.
"Huh?" a lonely Newspaper sitting on a table caught Tobi's eye.
"News! News! News! I wonder whats on the news!!"
"Youkai…Newspaper! welcomes new member…" He stared at the group picture in the left smiling his goofy grin was Naruto.
"So that's where your hiding from me Naruto Uzumaki" a deep calm voice chuckled.
"Zetsu" The venues fly trap Ninja emerge from the ground.
"I want you to inform Pain on the nine-tail jinchuriki Location and I also want you to go to Youkai Academy and keep a eye on Him while I formulated a plan "
"Yes Mandara" the black side spoke. "This is going to be fun!! AHahaha!" the white side spoke.
"Tobi! Hurry up!"
"Be right there Deidara-sempai!!"
