SNK: Well… back again… fucking shit, how many writer blocks have I had now?
Angelo: Too many.
Rikuo: So, who's mine?
Naruto: We'll see… Besides, I wanna get on with this.
Angelo: Agreed.
Naruto: Let's begin!
SNK: HOLD IT!
Random personality (RP): Oh yeah, last warnings: Dark elements, lemons… and all that other shit.
Disclaimer personality (DP): I don't have to state the obvious no?
ALL: On with the chap!
RP: Hold it… did we forget to mention possible mega-crossover?
The rest: WE SAID ON WITH THE CHAP!
=====(Last time on LOW)=====
Rikuo Nura and Naruto scan the papers and stay silent until Naruto chooses to break it. "If the time comes, you know what needs to be done."
Rikuo nods before he burns the documents with a simple flick of blue fire from his fingers. "Yeah… but I have a feeling… that you might fall for her…"
"Heh, an interesting theory." Naruto says before looking back at the document before it turns to literal dust. "We'll see. After all, having a Keikain should be fun."
=====(LOW)=====
=====(Training grounds)=====
"If you really wanted, you could have just asked." Angelo says to a panting Naruto. "Why don't you join his class?"
Naruto sighs before dropping to the ground to rest his tired body – which luckily for both him and Rikuo, feels no pain unless cut by a spirit sword or burnt. "Oh shut it. I've been paying enough attention to notice that you, you out of everyone else, you are starting a relationship."
Angelo freezes at that. "I guess being around me does up your training huh?" He says as he starts to relax. "So what if I have a relationship now?"
Naruto gives a poker face at that statement before he says, "Dude, you were here for practically 400 years, maybe more, and only now are you starting a relationship? The fuck man?"
"Well, they are sort of cute…" Angelo says with a pouting face that would most likely make a chibi version cuter.
Naruto's eyes widen at what was said. Angelo said they for crying out loud! "How many you have? Do they know? If they do then do they accept? If not then what will you do? What if-?!"
Angelo covers Naruto's mouth while blushing madly at all the questions. "Shut it will ya?!"
"Oh? Naruto-san, Angelo-gah, gomen, Oni-sensei, what's going on?" Rikuo's voice calls out from behind the two and as usual, he is in his night form just as he always is unless he's around his friends.
"Sensei's dating two girls!" Naruto manages to shout before Angelo covers the boy's mouth again. However, it's too late.
"I SMELL LOVE IN THE AIR!" Madara, Nurarihyon, and surprisingly even Jiraya – who is rarely seen thanks to Naruto – come bursting out the door and speed to the garden in less than a second.
Angelo lets go of Naruto as he is bombarded with question by the three old men.*VOOM* Angelo releases a huge amount Youki which makes Naruto's eyes widen in fear and the three older men to back off. "Na-ru-to…" Angelo says in a demonic voice. "It seems as though as if I need to remind you why…" Now, Naruto shakes in fear as Angelo pauses before he continues, "I am called Oni for a reason." Angelo finishes along with a really deep evil chuckle.
For that night, the people in Eastern Asia are unable to sleep because of someone's continuous screams of pain and torture.
=====(The next day)=====
"What day is today?" Naruto asks as he tries to sit up only to fall back down with immense pain rushing through his body. "Note to self: Never reveal Angelo's secrets." He thinks before he tries to sit again, this time succeeding in his painful endeavor. He gets out of bed and the changes his attire into his usual Oni attire. After getting dressed he pauses as he remembers that he has yet to bath. After a rush of 5 minutes that seem like an eternity to the young blonde, said blonde gets changed into a new set of the same clothes.
"I doubt it being the smart idea Angelo." A woman's voice says through the wall of Naruto's room.
Angelo's then follows with, "Nope, but you know only sane people think of smart ideas. Insane people think of smarter ones!" And it also follows with a warm chuckle.
Naruto steps out and is greeted with a wave by the woman Angelo was talking to. "Wait… Angelo…" Naruto manages to say as he notices the girl cling to Angelo. "You-you're… you're dating Setsura?!"
Angelo nods and smiles at the blonde making said hero flinch. "Relax, what's past is past." He says reassuringly.
Naruto drops his head with a sigh at the antics of his sensei-also-friend before mumbling about how random shit gets when he's around Angelo. "Anyway, what day is it? Your fist hurt too much I think it causes amnesia."
Angelo smiles before say, "Sunday."
Naruto sighs as he remembers that he has to join Rikuo in school starting the next day meaning he'd be Rikuo's classmate. "Now how should we be there in school? I'm like a brother to him as he is to me… but I can also just lie and say I'm his childhood friend or something… I'll go with the lie shit."
Angelo and Setsura smirk evilly at each other before…
Naruto turns blue.
Both then vanish as Naruto is pulled from his thoughts and into a freezing feeling. "Those two were made for each other." He thinks before he summons fire-chakra allowing his temperature to return to normal.
"Ah, there you are Naruto." Rikuo says before tossing a few clothes at the boy. "That's the school uniform. Wear it tomorrow and clone it while you're at it. I got the last pair so you'll have to use what Oni-sensei taught us."
"Yeah, sealing and cloning objects." Naruto says with a down mood. Then, Naruto experiences a light bulb moment. "Wait, if I could create a seal that would allow us to heal and stay fresh, especially in times of war… that would be useful!"
"Been there, done that." Angelo says as he enters. "Here," He says as he tosses a scroll to each of his students. "Copy those seals onto any part of your body and channel chakra at the same time. This way it will work 24/7 and keep on building up your chakra reserves since it uses your chakra to keep it functioning. However, that will only work if you channel chakra while you make the seal."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TEACH US?!" Naruto shouts before another scroll is tossed towards him. The same goes for Rikuo.
"Those scrolls contain all my copied and personal seals. You'll find all of them useful. Especially the cloning seal. Each comes with an instruction so follow it to the core." Angelo says as he leaves.
Rikuo shakes his head before an alarm goes off. "Well, I guess that means that I have to get ready for tomorrow." He says as he stands and slices the alarm clock. "Man, I hate that fucking ringing."
=====(The next day)=====
Naruto walks with Rikuo towards school with Tsurara keeping them company. Rikuo though, is in his day form and is also quite annoyed at having to play the role of 'Show-my-relative-around' which all revolves around the plan he and Naruto agreed on with Naruto being the one who planned it.
"We finally arrive." Rikuo says before giving out a sigh as Naruto pats his back.
"Well, it can't be that bad. I mean, there hasn't been any cases of school gangs, rape, and all that other shit right?" Naruto says.
Tsurara and Rikuo's eyes widen at that. "Oh no… he jinxed it! NO!"
Indeed, Naruto ends up being able to jinx shit for his own entertainment.
"Ah, so our new student has arrived." A man with white hair says. He wears a truly unique outfit for a man like him. See, he wears a damn green kimono along with sleeveless read haori… and a pair of wooden sandals, never forget the sandals.
Naruto blinks twice to make sure he isn't being tricked, and does so again before finally being able to speak. "What the fuck are you?"
On the roof of the building, Kakashi is trying his best not to laugh at the insult. After all, Naruto did ask what the man… was or is and not who the man… is.
"You dare insult me?! I am the-."
"OOH! I remember now, you're that pervert who always loves writing those books Kakashi-nii-san keeps. I knew I saw your face somewhere." Naruto says smiling.
"Honestly kid, if-."
*BOOM*
So is the sound of the fist of one Tsunade Senju when said fist connects to the pervert who is actually Jiraya.
"BOOBIES!" And so goes the scream of the flying pervert who will most likely land in onsen for women and get thrown back to the school building.
After that, everything seems normal. School, as expected by our blonde hero, was quite complicated. Don't get him wrong, he loves it because of the friends and all that other fun shit but it's also quite boring.
=====(School gate)=====
Naruto walks up to Rikuo who is with his friends at the moment. "Hey Rikuo, let's go home neh?"
"Who's this?" Kana asks as she looks at Naruto. "Wait…" Kana then turns her attention to Rikuo. "You're living together?"
"Yeah, he's my cousin. His mom and dad aren't with him so he's living with me… until he can find some other place." Rikuo says making all the others smile. "He is a bit cold though."
Natsumi starts touching Naruto's neck and forehead and speaks in confusion. "He's normal. What do you mean he's cold?"
"So these are your friends huh? The ones always addicted to hunting Youkai and stuff? Well, good luck with them." Naruto says as he starts walking off.
"That is what I meant by cold." Rikuo says. With a sigh, he bows and apologizes to his friends. "Gomen, he's having a hard time."
Kiyotsugu, the leader of the Kiyojūji Paranormal Investigation Squad, nods to himself before proclaiming, "THAT MAN IS NURA'S COUSIN AND AS NURA'S FRIEND, IT IS OUR JOB TO ENSURE THAT NURA'S FAMILY IS WITH A POSSITIVE DEMEANOR!"
Meanwhile, Naruto takes the time to walk back to the group as the annoying speech caught his ears. "Listen," He says getting the attention of the group. "Rikuo has told me what you guys do so stop."
"N-Naruto?" Rikuo says/asks in shock.
"Look, Youkai are dangerous and can kill you in less than a blink of an eye." Naruto says as he then once again starts to walk off.
"Matte, you're names Naruto right?" Kana asks and only receives a nod. "How do you know for sure? Aren't Youkai also guardians?"
Naruto gives a somewhat dark chuckle that only Rikuo would notice the darkness. "How do I know?" he asks no one in particular. "Simple, my parents were killed by a Youkai at my age of seven." He says with a cold glare directed to Kana and the rest of the Kiyojūji. He then turns his head knowing he'd frighten them too much if he kept on sending that glare. "The Youkai you speak of, those 'guardians'? They were called something else in the past. Unfortunately, history didn't write their names down unless it is kept somewhere really secret."
Days go by as if the day Naruto scolded the Kiyojūji didn't even happen. Finally, the day Naruto and Rikuo have been waiting for is at hand.
=====(The "big" day)=====
Yura Keikain was introduced to the class as always when a new student comes in. Now, we skip to the non-boring part of the day which is the end of classes for the day and week.
"T.G.I.F." Naruto says with a sigh of relief escaping him.
"Hey Naruto, get over here!" Kiyotsugu calls from the gate.
Naruto easily got used to the group's antics but what he said maid an impact on the said group. Now, instead of always chasing after Youkai, the group does research on the Youkai and then goes out to look for the Youkai. Unfortunately, they've no luck so far but what Naruto said did up their chances by ten.
"You've already met Yura right?" Kiyotsugu asks.
Naruto only nods as he observes the girl who is quite silent. "A clear mark of a careful Onmyoji." Naruto says getting the attention of the group, Yura's especially. "A human that can slay Youkai with their Shikigami is interesting enough, but once they are sent somewhere foreign to them, they make things in the place more interesting. And being quiet like Yura is…" Naruto pauses as he looks at the young girl. "She is most likely an Onmyoji."
Yura's eyes narrow at Naruto only a little making it not quite noticeable. "You sure know a lot. How?"
Naruto answers with a simple word. "History."
"Yup, Naruto's way into history." Kiyotsugu says. "Anyway, today is the day we finally get to see Nura's house!" He cheers with the others except Yura and Rikuo joining in. Naruto on the other hand… is slamming his head repeatedly on the school's wall.
"Something's off about him." Yura says to no one in particular but Rikuo still answers.
"He isn't that mentally stable… lost his parents at seven." Rikuo says while sticking to the 'lie' Naruto and he came up with.
=====(Alley)=====
The group is finally in the alley entrance of the Nura Clan's compound. Yura, however, is already starting to feel on edge. "Amazingly strong Youkai aura in here."
Naruto enters the compound with Rikuo beside him. Wakana greets the guest with her cheerful demeanor as usual but this time notices a difference. "Naruto-san, where are you off to?"
Naruto just smiles her way giving her all she needs to know.
"Ano, where is Naruto off to?" Yura asks.
"Oh, he's just off to train." Wakana says.
Yura's eyes widen at that. "Train?"
"He's been living with us for quite some time now." Wakana finishes.
After ten minutes of showing everyone around, Rikuo is finally on his last stop, "The Garden of Oni" or so the sign above the door reads.
Rikuo opens the door with everyone behind him following through. Needless to say, the group is quite surprised. Rikuo choses to explain. "This place is the garden of Naruto. He trains here but this place is also a public garden."
"And I just finished." Naruto says as he comes out with new clothes on – specifically his Oni outfit without the mask meaning the scarf is the only one left to cover his face.
The girls blush at the sight of Naruto in suck an outfit. "If only his hair were shorter… Stop it!" So is the thought of the girls of the Kiyojūji right now.
"I'm going to be guessing here but…" Naruto looks towards Yura with the others looking at her and Naruto. "I believe Yura here has already been sensing Youkai aura no?"
Rikuo's eyes widen at the statement. It's as if Naruto was trying to reveal that almost everyone in the household is a Youkai.
"Indeed I have." Yura says with her eyes narrowing dangerously. "I also sensed a single presence of a rat Youkai earlier when you weren't with us."
Naruto laughs a little making Yura stay on guard. "Forgive me dear Yura," Naruto pauses as he tries to calm down. "However, not all Youkai are as evil as you think. I was saved and taught by one."
Now this topic catches the interest of not only Yura but everyone within hearing distance. "That's impossible. Youkai are-."
"Evil?" Naruto cuts her off and finishes her statement but in turn makes it into a rhetorical question. "No, not all. It actually also depends on the perspective of the person. For example, Nurarihyon was the one who defeated Hagoromo Gitsune 400 years ago. Not only was he the one to do so but he did so with the Keikain clan's main spirit sword, Nenekirimaru which was given to him by his lover, Yōhime who is and was apparently the daughter of a corrupted rich fellow who paid the Keikain clan to protect the said daughter. Now then, Hidemoto is the 13th heir to the Keikain and he actually played a good part in helping Nurarihyon defeat Hagoromo Gitsune, then again, Nurarihyon was the one who dealt the devastating blow while Hidemoto was the one who sealed her away."
"That was a long history lesson." Rikuo says. The others can only nod in agreement.
Naruto sniffs the air before his eyes turn into stars. "I smell RAMEN!" And with that, he turns into a chibi making all the girls blush as he runs in such a cute form all the while making the word ramen into a song.
After dinner, Naruto goes out into the main garden where the Sakura tree that never stops blooming is. He made sure to create a second Sakura tree right across the pond of the first tree so that he could have his own. Luckily for him, Rikuo rarely goes to the first tree already because the guy's too into training at night.
"Oi, Naruto, my friends will be staying the night. Can one, maybe two of them use your room?" Rikuo asks from the ground.
Naruto looks down and nods. "Sure, just make sure that they're of the same gender. We wouldn't want any 'incident' to occur now would we?"
Rikuo smirks before rubbing his head sheepishly. "I guess you're right."
Naruto smiles back before creating a hidden clone to help him with a music piece he's been waiting to play for a long time. He then takes out a bamboo flute before he starts playing.
{Play: Flute (Japanese traditional music)} *Note: Fond on youtube… this goes for all songs*
The others hear the music and are already in their rooms. All but Natsumi and Yura since Yura wanted to protect the girl and was also curious on who was playing it. Natsumi was obviously the one who had to leave the room just so Yura would come along.
Naruto keeps the music going even when he senses the presence of both Natsumi and Yura.
For the entire song, the girls stayed near the tree, both could only be described as entranced by Naruto.
[End of music or End the music]
Naruto keeps his flute before jumping down the tree. "You should sleep now you know." He says as he walks over to the girls. "Come, let me guide you back."
Both nod dumbly at Naruto. Well, that and both are blushing madly at how they didn't notice Naruto stop the music. After arriving, both enter the room with Naruto settling himself outside the room. "Aren't you coming in?" Natsumi asks.
"I'm not taking the risk of being framed for a crime that I would never commit." He says blankly before going to sleep.
After an hour of silence, a sent catches the attention of Naruto and his hidden friend. Naruto however narrows his eyes and notices through his sensing abilities that Yura is just pretending to be asleep. "Interesting cover…" Naruto thinks to himself before following closely.
Finally, the presence of the entire rat Yakuza Youkai appears. "Hey boss, looks like we got some fresh ones."
Yura's body stiffens.
"Indeed. Well then, shall we bring them?"
"Yare-yare," Naruto says as he gets up and in turn, Yura's eyes widen. "How long are you going to pretend to be asleep eh, Yura?" He asks as he pops his neck and knuckles. "Know what, don't mind me. Just make sure you don't get in the way."
Yura's body shoots up in a defensive stance and is surprised to see Naruto just leaning on the way with the entire rat Yakuza between him and herself.
"Now then, shall we begin?" Naruto asks with an evil smirk.
{Play: "Samurai Storm"}
Naruto draws his sword before stabbing it through the floor on his left side. He then lowers his ninja-top revealing a black skin-tight mesh shirt with the top hanging on his waist thanks to the belt he wears. "Come."
One of the Youkai pulls out a sword from his sleeve making the others follow. "Piece of shit!" He shouts before charging the blond.
Naruto pulls his scarf up just in time as he is able to duck from the strike. "The next is vertical!" Naruto thinks as his eyes follow the movements closely. He then grabs his sword in a reverse grip with his left hand and swings it horizontally then vertically. After that, he stabs his sword back in the same place.
The others start charging him.
Naruto sees three opponents heading his way so he lowers himself and moves his left hand towards his sword.
As the three get closer, one jumps and plans to strike from above, the others go for the mid and lower section of Naruto's body with a clear horizontal slice.
Naruto then surprises the three with his next move. He spins a 360 towards his left. Halfway through, he grabs his sword with his right hand in a proper grip although held loosely. He cuts the jumper in half with a vertical slice before he himself jumps and steps on the Youkai aiming for his midsection and uses the leverage he gains to jump again which pushes the Youkai down onto the other. Naruto then performs a midair front flip-slice which cuts the two Youkai into two parts each, four in total.
Now, more Youkai are about to charge Naruto. Unfortunately for them, Naruto beats them to it.
Naruto then makes a dash towards the closes Youkai who in turn tries to take a swing at said blond. Naruto parries the swing before sheathing his sword and grabbing the Youkai by its head and then locking its arms from behind. He then positions the Youkai in such a way that the next five swings from its own comrades kill it.
The five stand in shock at what just happened. Wrong move. Naruto's rule in hand-to-hand combat? Simple: don't stop moving.
Naruto grabs the Youkai's sword and uses it to stab one of the remaining Youkai. Then, he kicks a Youkai that tried to sneak up behind him into the air. He grabs the sword of another Youkai corpse and points it upwards and kills the now falling Youkai. Immediately, he doesn't hesitate to use the sword as his extended arm and throws the body of the Youkai he just killed into three others.
Naruto tosses the sword into the air as three Youkai surround him and charge.
Our blond hero grabs the arm of one of the Youkai and breaks it by bending it backwards, then, he grabs the Youkai's legs and uses them as shields allowing them to be cut off. Finally, Naruto grabs the head of another and breaks it before grabbing the head of the last of the three and separates its jaws.
The sword falls back into Naruto's hands just in time as four more jump Naruto. With a clean horizontal slice, all four fall to the ground dead just like all their previous brethren.
Naruto is then shocked at seeing Yura hold out her Shikigami. However, Naruto doesn't waste his time as he unleashes an endless amount of Kunai and Shuriken. He can only smirk when he hears sounds similar to gunshots. He turns for a moment and sees Yura's technique before he elbows a Youkai trying to sneak up on him again and this time, he grabs the Youkai's sword and slices the said Youkai's head in half.
Yura then tires after using her Shikigami for a long while. Five Youkai try to jump her but as expected, Naruto kills them with a single swing. Said Shinobi then goes in for the kill by dashing through a group that consists of eight Youkai. He drops the sword, at the same time, the bodies of the Youkai group he dashed through erupt in a spray of Youkai aura as if it were their blood.
Naruto then shoots five more kunai towards the place near Yura and Natsumi.
Yura watches in horror as the kunais heads their way. However, to her surprise, it goes behind her and then she hears a few *THUNK*s and then thuds.
{End of music}
Naruto walks up to Yura and bends down to the girl's level. "Sorry about that."
Yura's eyes widen before narrowing.
"And I'm sorry about this too." Naruto says as he removes his scarf and kisses Yura on the lips making said Keikain moan in surprise. The kiss then starts to get passionate and when it finally ends, Yura is sleepy. "Good night my Onmyoji." Naruto says as Yura falls asleep on his lap. He then places Yura in the futon said girl was sleeping in and then does a simple one-handed ram-seal and then with a small burst of chakra, everything is back to normal.
Naruto steps out his room and is greeted by Rikuo. "I'm guessing we're sticking to the 'it was all a dream' kinda plan?" Rikuo asks with a smirk at how easily Naruto destroyed those Youkai.
"If she believes it then so be it. I think it'll work." Naruto answers but the next thing Rikuo says catches him off-guard.
"To think that you can make a human, much more an Onmyoji, fall asleep. The way you did it was quite amazing though." Rikuo says before chuckling and going to back to bed.
Naruto does the same and goes back to his position.
(TBC)
SNK: So? How was it?
Angelo: That was too fucking random.
Naruto: So…
Rikuo: Yes.
Naruto: Wow… we really did make this into an Alternate Univers/Reality.
ALL: Til next time!
