Chapter 3 Love Potion
It's early in the morning and we find Naruto asleep on the couch of his temporarily room with his temporarily roommates. Both Konoka and Asuna are sleeping in their buck beds. With Konoka on the bottom and Asuna on the top. Last but not least Negi is asleep right next to the couch that Naruto is sleeping on. Now enough of that let check on Asuna's dream shall we. (Note: In this one there will be three omake instead of one at the end.)
(Asuna's dream world)
Right now we see Negi holding what look like a bucket with hearts on it with steam coming out of it. Naruto standing beside Negi and both of them are smiling. Asuna standing in front of Takamichi is also standing up. In Asuna's hands is a cup that look like a cup of tea. In the background is the school's windows and cherry blossoms flowing around.
"Um, Takahata-sensei," said a blushing Asuna, " I made some tea and it's really good, would you like some?"
Asuna handed Takamichi the cup and gladly took it. He lift the cup up near his head and sniffed a little. He then closed his eyes.
"Huhu, this is a love potion isn't it," asked Takamichi, " there's no need for that."
"What do you mean," asked Asuna?
"Because I've been in love with you for a long time now," answered a cheery Takamichi.
"EEH," said a surprised an also blushing Asuna.
Takamichi walk up to Asuna and put a hand up to her face and lean down a little. Asuna closed her eyes while Takamichi has his opened.
"Asuna-kun," whispered Takamichi.
"Takahata-sensei," whispered Asuna.
(Back to reality)
During Asuna's dream, Negi had gotten up and walk to the buck beds while he's still asleep and that didn't wake up Naruto at all. He climb the latter and crawled next to the sleeping Asuna. After that he just lay down next to her without waking her up. When the kiss sense in Asuna's dream came, she kissed Negi's forehead while saying Takamichi's name. Asuna open slowly, when she had her eyes half lifted and the blurriness is out of her eyes. She look down and her eyes goes wide then she got to the end of the bed with the latter on the side while screaming which wake Negi up and Naruto, but a little misfortune Naruto jumped and hit his head on the ceiling then landed face first on the floor.
"What the heck do you think you're doing sleeping in my bed," yelled an angry Asuna.
"Onee-san," said a half awake Negi, "ah!"
"Isn't it a bit too early to start screaming and yelling," said a little angry Naruto.
The reason he is mad is because he woke up from his dream. His dream was about eating ramen that was the size of konoha. (Well, I wasn't about to miss this chance of making a ramen dream for Naruto now would I hmm.)
"The only reason I yelled is because Negi got into my bed," yelled Asuna who is still angry.
"Asuna-san I'm sorry, I'm used to sleeping together with my onee-san and I just...," yelled a scared Negi.
"What," yelled Asuna, "god you're such a kid!"
Naruto notice that Negi and Asuna's yelling woke up Konoka. Asuna got down from her buck bed then went to the bathroom with a pair of clothes. Naruto just yawned and went back to laying on the couch then he fell back to sleep. After a few minutes Asuna walked out of the bathroom and no longer in her pajamas. She looked at the clock and saw that its five o'clock.
"Wah its already five am," yelled Asuna.
Naruto sat up on the couch and started thinking, "I guess I'll stay awake, but I hope that the old man got me a place to stay at because I don't want to sleep in the same room as Asuna and Negi if that going to be an everyday thing."
"Oh come on now it's not that bad kit,"said the kyubi.
"shut up fur ball," said Naruto in his head
.
"Make me you brat."
"...You know I can't do that when I'm awake."
"I'm going back to sleep and don't wake me up unless its important."
"All right have a nice sleep fur ball."
The next thing Naruto saw was Asuna running to the door while saying, "Konoka I'm leaving!"
"Asuna-chan/-san where are you going," asked Naruto and Negi at the same time.
"Her part time job," answered Konoka for Asuna who is now out of the door and leaving the dorms.
"I wonder whats her part time job is," thought Naruto.
Naruto look toward Konoka who was putting on an apron over her pajamas.
"I'll make breakfast for us, Negi Naruto-kun," said Konoka, " how do you two like your eggs sunny-side up or scrambled?"
"Sunny-side up," answered Negi.
"Um, scrambled," answered Naruto.
"Roger," said a happy Konoka.
"I need to take a shower," thought Naruto.
Naruto went to his bag and took out things to take a shower with. Naruto turn to Konoka and saw that she was about to cook.
"Hey Konoka-chan where the bathroom," asked Naruto.
"Right over there Naruto-kun," answered Konoka while pointing to where the bathroom is at.
"Thanks Konoka-chan," said Naruto.
Naruto went into the bathroom and made sure the door locked.(I'm not going to describe what the damn bathroom look like ok so don't even think about it all right.) He made sure to take a quick shower and got dressed into a brown suit and an orange tie. When he unlocked the door and walked out , he saw both Negi and Konoka sitting at the table happily eating their breakfast. He sat done and start eating his breakfast that wasn't ramen for once.
(A few hours later)
We find Naruto, Negi, Konoka, and Asuna running while the other students. Both Konoka and Asuna are in their uniforms and Negi wearing a suit. Naruto Asuna and Negi are running while Konoka was using her roller-skates. Asuna looked mad again like earlier.
"I was late for my job," yelled a mad Asuna, "I should never have agreed to let someone like you stay with us Negi!"
"Eh, But it wasn't my fault," said Negi.
"You two sure don't get along very well," said Konoka.
"Sooner or later their have to get along with each other," said Naruto.
While they're running Naruto just look straight ahead and start taking to Kyubi without talking on the outside.
"So mind telling me why you suddenly want to talk to me huh Kyubi," asked Naruto.
"I think that going on this mission was a good choice for you kit," answered Kyubi.
"I'm going to regret asking this, but why is it a good choice for me going on this mission," asked Naruto.
"Because I see this as a chance for you to find mates that are better than some of the others back at your village," answered Kyubi.
"Not this again, for the tenth time fur ball KNOCK THE HELL OFF WITH ME HAVING TO FIND MATES THING ALL RIGHT!"
"All right have it your way brat, but I have a bad feeling for today which including you and that red hair kid."
"You mean Negi?"
"No, I meant that red headed girl Asakura," said a sarcastic Kyubi.
"Kyubi, I know that you're being sarcastic."
"Wow, I'm amazed that you knew that I was being sarcastic kit."
"Kyubi please stop before you end up being stuck say sarcastic things for a month again."
"I really don't want that to happen again even I can get sick of hearing myself saying things in a sarcastic way."
"Good now I'm going to have to talk to you again later because both me and Negi have to start class very soon."
"Okay later kit."
During the whole time that Naruto was talking to Kyubi, the four of them had arrive at the school. Asuna and Konoka had gone ahead of Naruto and Negi. After Naruto had refocus at what is happening right now which was, Negi trying to reach a shoes locker to put his shoes in. Naruto just sighed and picked up Negi's shoes and at the same time a hand had opened the shoes locker. When Naruto looked to who opened it and to find out that it was Ayaka.
"Good morning Negi-sensei Naruto-sensei," greeted Ayaka.
"Good morning Iincho-san," greeted Negi.
"Good morning Ayaka and I should have told you and the rest of 2-A to do not call me sensei outside of class," said Naruto while putting Negi's shoes into the locker.
"Okay Naruto-sen..I mean Naruto," said Ayaka.
There is a reason on why she quickly corrected herself. The reason is that when she was about to call Naruto sensei, he quickly glared at her one that promised slightly pain which would be true if she really called him sensei out of class. When she corrected herself and Negi look up at him only to see Naruto smiling.
"Wow and I didn't even have to flick her on the forehead," thought an amazed Naruto.
"I'll show you two the way to the class room," said Ayaka.
"Thank you," said Negi.
"Thanks but I have to go see the dean about something," said Naruto.
"Oh okay then Naruto," said Ayaka.
"I'll see you all later," said Naruto while walking toward the deans office.
"Later whiskers," said Asuna.
"Bye Naruto-kun," said Konoka.
"Bye Naruto-nii-san," said Negi.
"I hope that Negi can handle the class without me," thought Naruto.
As Naruto was walking toward the dean's office, he was thinking about what Kyubi mean by a feeling that something bad is going to happened to him and Negi. After a few minutes, he push that thought aside and started to think of what he'll going to do in Eva's resort.
"Maybe I could asked pervy sage about my father or I should use the library of Eva-chan to study or read about magic," thought Naruto.
He was very deep in thought that he didn't see the doors or the dean's office. By the time he notice the doors, he walked right into them. He stumbled back a little and looked the doors. (I'm going not going to make him say, "Who put these doors here" because that just plain common and stupid to do.)
"Guess I'm here."
He walked up to the doors and knocked. He heard a faintly come in within the office. Naruto opened one of the doors and walked in while closing the door behind him. The dean look up to see who it is and saw Naruto already standing in front of his desk.
"Ohohohoho, if it isn't Naruto-chan," said the dean then thought of something, "why aren't you with Negi-chan teaching 2-A."
"I wanted to asked you about something," said Naruto.
"What is it Naruto-chan," asked the dean?
"Do have a place for me yet, I don't want to stay with Asuna-chan, Konoka-chan, and Negi," questioned/answered Naruto.
"Yes, I found a place for you," answered the dean,"but whats the reason why you don't want to live with Asuna-chan, Negi-chan, and my granddaughter Konoka?"
"The reason is that this morning, I was woken up by Asuna-chan who scream and then yelled at Negi that also seem he climbed into Asuna's bed in his sleep," answered Naruto,"I have a feeling that it's going to be like that for a while and I really like to get some sleep."
The dean nodded his head and gave Naruto a fold sheet of paper. Naruto took the paper and opened it up and started to read whats on it. He then looked at the dean.
"Um, are you able to make the room sound poof so that on one can hear anything in here," asked Naruto.
The dean nodded and pulled out what look like a wand. The wand glowed and then the glow faded. Naruto took out some ear plugs and hand them to the dean. The dean put the ear plugs in his ears and as soon as he finished putting the ear plugs in, Naruto started yelled out a lot of curses from the top of his lungs. This lasted for two whole minutes, Naruto stopped yelling and to the dean's surprised Naruto didn't seen to be out of breath. The dean took out the earplugs and dropped the silence spell around the room and with that Naruto disappeared. Naruto then reappear in front of class 2-A's door and about to open the door until he heard a yell from inside the room.
"ASUNA, WHY ARE YOU TAKING OFF YOUR CLOTHES IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS!"
"That was Ayaka and its sound like Negi sneezed again so I better wait until after class is over to go in...Nah," thought Naruto and with that he walked inside the room and quickly made his way to the window without any of anyone seeing he got to the window, he sat in a chair and closed his eyes while leaning his head against a wall.
"Class rep you're yelling is going to wake up Naruto-sensei," said one of the students of 2-A.
Everyone looked over at Naruto and thought the same thing (except for Eva and Chachamaru) which was, "When did he get here?" After a few minutes of his fake sleeping, Naruto accidentally fell asleep while faking that he was a sleep. This time his dream was a little because within ramen land Naruto is enjoying his giant bowl of miso ramen while watching Jiraiya running for his dear life from an enraged Kushina Uzumaki, let just say that she found out that he didn't look after Naruto like a real godfather should have done and let leave it at that. Now let hear Jiraiya's screaming shall we.
"I SAID THAT I'M SORRY FOR NOT LOOKING AFTER NARUTO," screamed Jiraiya.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF THIS YOU PERVERT," yelled a still angry Kushina,
"NOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ALL MALES!"
"NO NOT THE JEWELS," screamed Jiraiya and he ran even faster.
After what seem like a lifetime, Kushina finally caught Jiraiya and let just say that she started beating him up to a bloody pulp. Sadly it was time for Naruto to wake up but not before he heard a ripping sound which ended with a snap. (You have to admit that Jiraiya really deserved it.) When Naruto woke up, he was very thirsty and started to look around for something to drink. That was he heard Asuna's voice.
"YOU DRINK IT," semi-yelled Asuna.
Naruto look toward Asuna to see her forcing poor Negi drink something. Naruto ran to them and took what look like a test tube out of Negi's mouth and saw that there was only half let in there but he didn't care so he drank the rest. As soon as the rest of it was gone, Naruto look at Negi to see his face in a state panic.
"Um, Negi what did both you and me drank," asked a slightly nervous Naruto.
Instead of Negi answering Asuna did it for him, "The brat said that it was a love potion but I see nothing happening here."
"Seem like that was a fail Negi," said a calmed Naruto.
Unfortunately Naruto spoke too soon because he had forgotten who's still in the room. The people who are in the room beside Naruto, Negi, and Asuna are Konoka, Ayaka, Sakurako, Madoka, Misa, and Kaede. Both Naruto and Negi felt that two people behind them, when they turn around to see who are the ones behind them but only to see an out of it Konoka and an equally out of it Kaede.
"Now that I've taken a good look at you Negi," said the dazed Konoka, "your kind of really cute!"
"You know Naruto, when I have a really good look at you," said a same daze Kaede, "you're really are handsome."
The next thing Negi knew was that, Konoka had grab on to him and started to rub her cheek against his. As for Naruto, Kaede pulled him to her and hold his head between her breasts which he is struggling to get out of. It almost seem like the two dazed girls weren't going to let go of the boys, that was until Ayaka saw what they were doing to their senseis.
"Hold it right there," shouted Ayaka,"what are you two doing Konoka-san Kaede-san."
Ayaka walked over to them and at the same time, Konoka and Kaede let go of both Negi and Naruto. As soon as Naruto was let go, he make a quick run to the door and stayed there to see was well happen next before he decide to run for it.
"That kind of conduct toward a teacher is inappropriate," shout Ayaka.
"Aww, but look how cute Negi-kun is Ayaka," said the dazed Konoka.
Konoka turn Negi around so he is facing Ayaka. When Ayaka looked at Negi, she got on one knee and presented Negi a rose Bogota from out of no where which Naruto find still very weird. Naruto wasn't the only one watching this event unfold, the other person watching was Asuna. The next thing that the two didn't expect was that the cheerleader trio would go after Negi. The event went with Sakurako trying to make poof Negi eat cake that she made, Misa trying to pull his clothes off, and Madoka helping Misa take Negi's clothes off. While this was going on, Naruto was inching for the door so he can make a run for it.
"It worked," thought Asuna, "it was the real thing, damn it!"
"Hey Kyubi is this the bad feeling that you had earlier," asked Naruto
"Yes, it is but now its worse than earlier," said Kyubi.
"Meaning?"
"Meaning thanks to the love potion that the brat Negi made, your now going to be run from girls without using your ninja skills."
"Negi is so going to get it, that is if he live today."
"Then run now because it look like the brat is about to get out of that jam."
"Right there with you fur ball."
When Naruto reach the door and about to open it when he heard Kaede's voice behind him. In his response was to turn his head toward Kaede.
"Naruto-kun where are you going hmm," asked a still dazed Kaede.
The thing that Naruto did was, opening the door and run like his life depended on it. By the same time Naruto opened the door was when Negi got out of the cheerleaders reach and run right out the door after Naruto did, which was when Kaede gave chase on the blonde shinobi. Both Negi and Naruto ran in the opposite directions. Right now Naruto is being chase by Kaede and Negi is being chase by Konoka, Misa, Madoka, and Sakurako. The people who had remain in the class room was Asuna and a still love potion victim Ayaka.
(With Negi)
Negi is currently running down the corridors, when he looked behind him to only to see his pursuers get closer to him. He pumped some wind magic to is feet so he can put greater distance between him and his pursuers. Negi thought that he was in the clear and smiled, but that smile soon faded when he look to his left while he still running. The reason was that Konoka was right next to him which frighten him and he ran faster to lost her. While he was running, he saw an incoming corner which he took and completely lost Konoka.
(Same time with Naruto)
Naruto was now out of the school and had lost Kaede by running full speed and turning into a corner.
(Flashback start)
After he turn into the corner, he stopped and made a clone.
"I want you to run from Kaede in my place and make sure that you don't get caught by her
"Do you understand," whispered Naruto.
"I understand boss," whispered Naruto's clone.
Naruto nod and jump on to the ceiling and lay flat on his stomach. His clone started to run when he foot steps coming toward them and fast. When Kaede turn the corner she saw Naruto's clone on the other end of the condor in which she followed the clone. After Naruto made sure that it was safe for him to get off the ceiling and then he ran until he was out of the school and out of sight of it.
(Flashback end)
Naruto was now in the dorms and walking toward Asuna and Konoka's room to get his stuff, so he can room in with his new roommates. While he was walking, he failed to heard other foot steps around the corner. When he turn the corner, he walked into someone. He got on his feet and saw who he walked into. The person he walked into was...Sasuke? Naruto look at him in disbelieve look on his face, while Sasuke got up and looked at Naruto. He was thinking that Naruto would be the last person to find him easily. Naruto just then had to asked that one question. (I didn't say that Naruto was going to be the only male from Naruto's anime going to be in it now did I and I mean the one that didn't die the first time.)
"What are you doing here teme," asked a little angry Naruto," better yet how did you even get here without being seen?"
"Remember when I was being chase by me fans dobe," asked Sasuke while a bored expression.
"Yeah and Sakura-chan got you out of that jam," answered still a little angry Naruto.
"That partly true," said Sasuke.
"Huh?"
"We better find a safe place for me to explain because I don't want to get caught here and be a target."
"Don't worry Sasuke you're not the only one in that boat too."
Sasuke just looked at Naruto with confusion on his face. Naruto walked pasted him and He then stop in front of the door. He turned to back at Sasuke and sighed.
"Are you going to stay standing that like a baka," asked Naruto, "or are you going to come in?"
Naruto opened the door and saw a pile of baskets with Sakura's handmade solider pills. He walked in and right behind him was Sasuke with a very low frown on his face. When Naruto closed the door and looked at him.
"What with you teme," asked Naruto.
"I just walked out of this room," answered Sasuke.
"Okay now, WHAT WITH THE PILE OF SAKURA-CHAN'S SOLIDER PILL BEING OUT," shouted Naruto.
"That because I was stuck in that scroll and I manage to finally get out," answered Sasuke.
Naruto looked at him with just a look that was both confusion and you better explain now I won't rat you out in a heart beat. Sasuke just sigh and started his explanation to him.
(flashback start: Sasuke's rescue from his fangirls)
Sasuke was jumping from roof to roof trying to get away from his fangirls well the female shinobi part while the non-female shinobi's were following on the ground. This lasted for a good 5 minutes which he decide to shunshin to an alley and hid behind a trash can so the female villagers wouldn't see him. After the screams of his name has pasted, he got out from behind the trash can and turn to get out of the alley . When he turn around to leave, He saw a little girl that looked like a villager of Konoha. The said girl was pointing at him with her mouth open, then she yelled out loud.
"Sasuke-kun is over here!"
Before he could get away, Somehow the alley got filled with his fangirls. He was now corner with no way out of the alley. He had only one choice for him to get out of this without getting hurt. So he screamed first and then shouted.
"Sakura save me from these girls please I'm begging you!"
After a few seconds of waiting and slowly walking into a wall, Sakura had finally appeared, but she appeared behind him with a scroll open. When his elbow touched the seal in the scroll, the seal glowed and smoke covered Sasuke. After the smoke cleared, Sasuke's fangirls saw that he wasn't there anymore. But right now Sasuke's luck was on a break and reason why is because that the scroll Sakura had put him in was the one that was filled with her homemade solider pills that was in 20 baskets. Sasuke waited for Sakura to unseal him from the scroll, but after what felt like hours he started to yell and force his chakra to unseal him. After five hours and two empty baskets of forcing his chakra he was finally out. When he was out of the seal in the scroll, Sasuke looked around and saw that he was in a very different room.
(flashback end)
After Sasuke finished his explanation, He looked at Naruto and saw that he wasn't laughing his butt off. That made him get a confused look.
"So that why the Sasuke that was at my leaving for my mission wasn't acting like you," Said Naruto.
"Oh now the dobe is a very big baka anymore," said Sasuke.
"At least I wasn't put into a scroll that Sakura-chan mixed up with another scroll."
"So are you going to help me or are you going to rat me out dobe."
"Maybe I'll help you teme but under three conditions."
"What are they dobe?"
"Condition number one, no calling me dobe for the time your are here."
"Fine, Naruto."
"Condition number two, don't complain for the rest of my mission."
"How long is your mission."
"I...I don't know."
"Damn it."
"Now condition number three, don't let yourself be seen around here or in the area."
"Ok, by the way where are we."
"We're at an all girl school."
"..."
"Sasuke?"
"..."
Naruto quickly went to his bag and pulled out silent seals. He went around the room putting the seal. He put some on the windows, on the door, and on corners of the ceiling and the floor. After that was done, he pulled out ear plugs and put them in his ears then activated the silent seals. When that was done, Sasuke let out one of his loudest yell that was at the top of his lungs.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY LUCK, FRIST I JUST GET AWAY FROM MY PHYCO FANGIRLS NOW I'M STUCK AT AN ALL GIRL SCHOOL!"
After a few minutes, Sasuke calmed down he looked at Naruto. Naruto pulled out that the ear plugs and started to explain to Sasuke about where they are at, but he didn't tell him about his godmother...…Yet. When the explanation is over Sasuke look more calm now. (If you're wondering about Negi's situation its just like the manga.) Naruto inactivate the seals and put them in his bag. He then put Sakura's homemade solider pills back into the scroll and put them in his bag too. After all that was done, Naruto opened the window and went out of it. Sasuke followed suit but closed the window before following Naruto more. They were running at full speed, Naruto running in front of Sasuke toward Eva's cabin which only Naruto know where it is. When they got to the clearing of the cabin, Naruto stopped suddenly and Sasuke ran by him but only for him to run into Chachamaru. To Sasuke's point of view it felt like he ran into a metal wall and Chachamaru's...Well I think she felt a little ticklish from Sasuke's run in. Chachamaru looked at what ran into her to only find a knocked out Sasuke and a waving Naruto.
"Hey Cha-chan is Eva-chan inside," asked Naruto.
"Yes, master is inside Naruto-sama," answered Chachamaru then she looked down at Sasuke, "who is this Naruto-sama?"
"He's a friend of mine and he somehow got stuck in a scroll of mine," answered Naruto, "do you mind bring him inside?"
"I don't mind Naruto-sama."
"You're enjoying being called sama aren't you," asked Kyubi.
"Yes, I'm so don't ruin it please," asked Naruto.
"You might not know when I'm going to ruin it for you," teased Kyubi.
"I hate you fur ball."
"Love you too brat."
Naruto sigh and walked to the cabin with Chachamaru behind him while she carry Sasuke over her shoulder. When Naruto got to the door, he open it to only to see Eva at the table drinking tea. Eva look toward the door expecting to see Chachamaru but instead it was her godson Naruto standing there with Chachamaru behind him and a person over Chachamaru's shoulder.
"Hi Eva-chan," greeted Naruto.
"Hello Naruto and Chachamaru who is that," asked Eva while pointing at Sasuke.
"A friend of Naruto-sama," answered Chachamaru.
Naruto walked in and sat in a chair that is across from Eva. Chachamaru set Sasuke's unconscious body on the couch that is inside the cabin, she then went into the kitchen to make more tea. Naruto had started his explaining to Eva about Sasuke and how he got here. The reason he started really fast is because of Eva look at Sasuke then she look at Naruto with a face that says' explain now or I'll make you stay a bloody living nightmare' which scared him. Under her glare, it felt like he was being glare at by three Tsunade. The more details he made to his explanation, the more her glare became colder. After a few minutes Naruto had finished his explanation and asked Eva to keep Sasuke in her cabin/resort until a break from school to be able to get him back to Konoha. The answer from Eva was something he was expecting which was.
"No, bloody way I'm letting this baka stay here for that limited time," answered Eva.
"Why won't you let him stay here," asked Naruto?
"BECAUSE I'M A EVIL MAGE, NOT A CARE TAKER," shouted an angry Eva.
"THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE THE PERVY SAGE LIVING IN YOUR RESORT!"
"IT'S BECAUSE I WAS FORCE TO KEEP HIM IN THERE!"
"OH YEAH FOR WHAT REASON, IS TO KEEP HIM FROM USING THE STUDENTS FOR HIS SO CALLED RESEARCH!"
"..."
"Your kidding right?"
"..."
"Pervy sage you baka"
"I'm still not letting that (point at Sasuke) stay here."
"How about a deal."
"What is this deal," asked an interested Eva.
"If you let Sasuke stay here, you can teach me magic," answered Naruto. Sasuke decided to wake up when Naruto explain the deal. (Oh how Naruto going to regard it.)
"Deal and I'm only going to teach you the basic, all right?"
"Okay."
"Hold on," said a now waken Sasuke.
Both blonds looked at Sasuke who was now getting to his feet. Sasuke walked over toward the two and look at Eva then looked at Naruto.
"Hey, Naruto who's the kid," Asked Sasuke. Eva now have a tick mark on her head because of that comment from the Uchiha.
"First off teme, her name is Evangeline," answered Naruto, "secondly she my student and she doesn't like being called kid." He tried to save Sasuke but it seem that it was too late. Eva got up to from he chair and started to walked to where the resort is and motion Sasuke to follow her in which he did.
"The teme just have to learn the hard way huh," thought Naruto.
Naruto got up and left Eva's cabin. When he was out and look up at the sky and saw that it was almost sunset. He then started to run toward the dorms. When he got near the dorms but only to see Negi, Asuna, and a out of it Konoka walking to the dorms. Naruto smiled and walked up behind them very quietly, so that they don't hear his foot steps. When he was now behind Negi, he just grab the poor kid's shoulder, which made Negi stop walking and become stiffed. Well that would be what Naruto would think that Negi would do but instead, Negi just screamed while he jumped. Both Asuna and Konoka turn around and saw Naruto holding a frighten Negi by the shoulder. Asuna's response was laughing at Negi and Konoka's response was nothing because she was still out of it.
"Whiskers got Negi good," thought Asuna.
"This is just the start of my payback Negi," thought Naruto.
Naruto let go of Negi's shoulder and looked at Asuna and Konoka. He let out a sigh and looked at Negi who was a little unset.
"That wasn't funny Naruto-nii-san," said the unset Negi.
"Sorry but I couldn't miss that opportunity to scarred you Negi," said a smiling Naruto, "and if I were you, I would keep my guard up because I'm going to get you back for making that little potion you made."
After that Naruto started to walk toward the dorms with Asuna and Konoka following beside him, leaving a now frighten Negi to follow the three from behind. While they walked Asuna asked Naruto how did he got a way with Kaede. Naruto using his brain to think up a fake sum up of his escape from the Kaede. Naruto didn't worry about Konoka listening to his explanation because she was still out of they were half way from Asuna, Konoka and soon only Negi's dorm room, Konoka had finally came back to her senses, Naruto had started to think up of different kind of pranks to get back at Negi. Negi was still being scared of what Naruto might do to him. Negi and everyone in this world doesn't know Naruto's pranks record. They keep on walking until, they door to dorm room. Asuna was the one to open the door and to walk in with Konoka, Naruto, and Negi following behind her in that order which ended with Negi closing the door. The first thing Naruto did was to gather his belongings into his bag. Negi was keeping a distance from said blond who went to his bag, Konoka starting to cook dinner, and Asuna taking a shower.
"Um, N-Naruto-nii-san," asked a still scared Negi.
"Yeah What is it Negi," asked Naruto while looking at Negi.
"W-What are y-you doing," asked Negi.
"I'm gathering my things for going to my new roommates," answered Naruto.
"Oh I see," said Negi, "who are your new roommates?"
"Oh you'll find out Negi," answered Naruto.
Negi got over his fear of what Naruto might do to him and trying to think up who or who's his roommates are going to be. While he was thinking about that Asuna had step out of the bathroom dressed in only her pajamas and Konoka had finished cooking dinner for the four of them. Negi, Konoka, and Asuna sat at the table, they were about to eat when they heard a knock at the door.
"I wonder who would that be," asked Konoka.
"I bet its Ayaka," answered Asuna.
"No, I bet its Shizuna," said Naruto.
Asuna look at Naruto and thought up a idea.
"Okay, whiskers I bet fifty yens its Ayaka."
"I bet my whole paycheck its Shizuna," said Naruto.
"I'll take that bet whiskers."
Both Naruto and Asuna shacked on it. During their bet making, Konoka got up and walked to the door and she waited for the said two to make the bet before opening the door. When Konoka open the door, to only to see Shizuna standing there with a smile on her face.
"Hello Shizuna-sensei," greeted a happy Konoka.
"Hello Konoka-san," greeted back Shizuna.
At that moment, there was a thud sound and a following little laugh. Konoka went back with Shizuna following but to only to find Asuna head on the table and a smiling Naruto.
Asuna picked her head up to look at their guest and saw it was indeed Shizuna.
"I lose the bet," whined Asuna.
"Did I missed something," asked Shizuna.
"Both Asuna-san and Naruto-nii-san made a bet of who is at the door and it seem that Naruto-nii-san won," answered Negi.
"That right," said Naruto and now looking at Shizuna, "I think your here to get me and bring me to the dean for something."
"May how did you know that Naruto-kun," asked a smiling Shizuna.
"I just got that feeling is all," answered Naruto.
"Yes, the dean wants to see you now," said Shizuna. She started to walk to the door but stop half way and turn to Naruto and said, "oh and Naruto-kun."
"Yes, Shizuna-san," asked Naruto.
"Don't forget to bring your stuff to your new roommates," said Shizuna and with that she left.
Naruto got up and walked to his bag. He picked it up and turn around to only to find both Asuna and Konoka looking at him. Naruto smiled and hold out a free hand toward Asuna and asked, "so Asuna-chan where my fifty yens?" Asuna just face-fault at what Naruto asked. She got up and went to where her money is at and then walked to Naruto and put fifty yens in his hand.
"There your bet money whiskers," said a little upset Asuna.
"Thank you Asuna-chan," said Naruto and he pocketed the money into his pocket.
Asuna walked back to the table and started eating her food. Naruto look at Konoka while still smiling. Konoka smiled back and walked over to him and gave him a hug, in which he gave back and walked out of the room while closing the door behind him. He keep on walking until he got out of the dorms, that is when Naruto started running full speed toward the school.
(Dean's office)
The dean is now looking at Eva, Chachamaru, and Sasuke who is stuck in a block of ice with his head out of the ice and him chattering his teeth. The dean was just looking at the one that is stuck in the ice, the only thing he can see is that this person is from konoha like Naruto because of the headband. They are right know waiting for Naruto to come in and explain what is going on. It has only been a few minutes of waiting and the doors of the office open to reveal Naruto who was panting slightly. Naruto looked who was in the room beside the dean.
"Ah Naruto-chan I'm glad you made it please come in," said the dean.
Naruto walked in and closed the doors and walk up next to Sasuke and look at Eva with a questioning look. He then look at the dean and sigh then as if reading the dean mind, Naruto started to explain everything about what happened today except the love potion part. After the explanation, Naruto asked Eva to unfreeze Sasuke from the ice which she didn't do and the dean is stroking his beard while thinking.
"Eva-chan why won't you let Sasuke out of the ice," asked Naruto.
"I'm waiting for him to say that he'll be my servant," answered a bored looking Eva.
"I-I-I-I'll n-ne-nev-never s-say i-it,"said a chattering Sasuke.
Eva pulled pulled out a test tube full with a strange liquid and open the top of it then pour it on the ice that Sasuke is trap in. Within seconds Sasuke started to chatter his teeth more. Naruto saw this event and frown and look at Sasuke.
"Hey teme how come you didn't escape from the ice yet?"
"That because master made sure to make put a chakra seal on Sasuke-san without him knowing," answered Chachamaru.
"That and i made the ice cold enough for him to not be able to use his chakra or use any Jutsu," said Eva.
"At least let him be able to feel his fingers or toes," asked Naruto while pointing at Sasuke's hand and feet that are starting to turn slightly purple.
Sasuke was now think of two chooses which are either submit to Eva's demand or lose his fingers and toes. Sasuke sighed in his own head and chosen the first one.
"O-o-o-ok-okay I-I-I-I-I'll b-b-b-b-be y-yo-your s-s-s-ser-serve-servent," said Sasuke.
Naruto looked at Sasuke with shock written all over his face and Eva was smirking at her victory. She put out another test tube and pour the liquid from it on to the ice. The ice quickly melted away and after the ice was completely gone, Sasuke started to feel his toes and fingers again. Sasuke look at Naruto is smiling.
"Why are you smiling Naruto," asked Sasuke.
"Eva-chan do you want to tell him or you want me to tell him," asked a still smiling Naruto.
"I'll let you do tell him," said Eva.
"Okay," said Naruto, "so Sasuke what have we learned about making Eva-chan angry?"
"I learn that she is scarier than an enraged Sakura, a angry Tsunade, and a crazy Madara put together," answered Sasuke who shivered about remembering Eva's angry face in the resort.
"Good and oh Sasuke," asked Naruto.
"What is it," asked a now annoyed Sasuke.
"Eva-chan is my godmother," answered Naruto.
"Your kidding right," asked Sasuke.
"I'm afraid Naruto-chan isn't kidding," answered the dean.
"How can she be the do-I mean Naruto's godmother when she only look like a little girl," asked Sasuke.
"That because Eva-chan is a vampire," answered the dean.
"Okay now I know you kidding because there no such thing as vampires," said Sasuke.
"Sasuke think we're in a different world that is very damn different than our's so get the facts through you GOD DAMN THICK SKULL OF YOURS RIGHT NOW," explained/shouted Naruto while leaking some of Kyubi's chakra and his own chakra to get his point a cross.
Sasuke was now getting scarred of this side of Naruto in which felt like catching both Sakura and Tsunade on their bad day. After Naruto calm down he saw Sasuke was standing behind Chachamaru. Now both Naruto and Eva were looking at Sasuke with identical smirks on their faces.
"Okay now I know that Naruto is wasn't kidding," thought a slightly scared Sasuke, "both of the smirks are the same."
"Both master and Naruto-sama are smirking again," thought Chachamaru.
All four of them were is distracted, that they forgot that they're still in the dean's office. The dean coughed to get better their attention which worked. All of them looked at the dean with different face expressions. Both Naruto and Eva had annoyed on their faces, Eva's is that she still have to stay in this room and Naruto's is having to wait for the dean to tell his idea. Both Sasuke's had a blank face and Chachamaru's stayed the same blank face. Everyone in the room was silent, so silent that the dean fell asleep.
"STAY AWAKE YOU OLD MAN," yelled both equally annoyed Naruto and Eva.
The dean woke up and look at the four. He stroke his beard and then finally spoke.
"I think we should send Sasuke-chan (A tick mark appeared on Sasuke's forehead) back to Konoha," said the dean.
"That would be if Takamichi can do the spell again which he can't until the exams are done," said Eva who pointed out the fact.
"Wait a minute, Takamichi can sent me back to Konoha," asked Naruto.
"Yes, but for only a visit," answered the dean.
"And what about the teme," asked Naruto while pointing at Sasuke, "what will he do while staying here?"
"I was planning on making him do some errands for me with Chachamaru," answered Eva.
"I have better things to do beside being your little errand boy," said Sasuke.
"Like what if you have already forgotten about being stuck in a different world," asked Eva.
That just made Sasuke to think beside training what else can he do. This lasted for three minutes and he let his head down in defeat.
"Well, we can't let him work at the school," said Naruto.
"What do you Naruto-chan?"
"Well, back in konoha Sasuke have a lot of fangirls that chase him every once a day for the time he is either out of his home or back from a mission," answered Naruto.
"Hmm, how about he help you and Negi-chan with class 2-A," asked the Dean.
"I don't know, he can survive with 2-A since it is my second day teaching with Negi," said Naruto with a thinkable look on his face, "They might give him more problems than he already have right now."
"I agree, he won't last until the exams are over," said Eva, "let alone a day."
Both Naruto and Eva was putting up an act to make Sasuke to make him willingly teach 2-A along side Negi and Naruto. The dean seeing this unfold, decided on joining in on it. The reason of why he want to join in on it, is because Sasuke look ready take on that challenge and just need one more button to push him to do it.
"You two maybe right about him not being able to help with 2-A," said the dean.
With that just like Naruto predicted Sasuke took the bait without him even knowing it. Eva was hiding a smirk on her face because of how easy to trick Sasuke.
"What was that old man," asked a angry Sasuke.
"I said that you may not be able to survive 2-A until the exams are over," answered the dean.
"If he can survive two days of that class then I can survive too," said Sasuke.
"Hook line and sinker," thought both Naruto and Eva.
"Then I'll let you prove me wrong by letting you help Negi and Naruto teach 2-A," said a smiling dean.
Sasuke smiled slightly and heard Naruto start laughing. He look at Naruto and then something hit him, which was that he just got tricked into help Naruto with his mission.
"He tricked me with the help of the weird old man and the vampire girl," thought Sasuke angrily.
Eva look at the dean and asked, "Are we done here."
"Yes, we are done with this little meeting," answered the dean.
With that said and done Eva and Chachamaru started to leave but not without Chachamaru grabbing Sasuke's collar and dragging him with them. As for Naruto, he just left by going out the window and started running toward the dorms when his feet touched the ground.
How was that? I think the next chapter will be better. If any of you have any ideas of who from 2-A should be with Sasuke feel free to tell and I'll think about it. If you don't like the way I put Sasuke into the chapter then KEEP YOUR COMPLAINTS TO YOURSELF! Now with the first omake out of the three.
-Konoka's dream-
Its summer time and we find Konoka wearing a sky blue sun dress sitting under the world tree. She was watching some of the class 2-A play with each other in a game of badminton. She had a smile on her while watching them, but she didn't notice a cold glass of fruit punch coming near her cheek. Konoka jumped out of surprised of the cold drink touched her cheek. When she had gotten over her slight fright, Konoka look up to the person who had touch her cheek with the cold drink. When she looked who it was, she found a smiling Naruto. Konoka started to pout.
"That wasn't funny Naruto-kun," pouted Konoka.
"Sorry Konoka-chan but I wanted to know how you'll react," said Naruto, "I have to say your pout is very cute."
Konoka giggled with a slight blush on her cheeks. Naruto chuckled and sat down next to Konoka and handed the cold drink to her, which she gladly accepted and slip some of it. Right now both Naruto and Konoka are watching 2-A playing badminton, Konoka had rested her head onto Naruto's shoulder which he doesn't seem to mind at all. After a few hours, both Naruto and Konoka are walking back to the dorms. While they walked, Konoka started to tell Naruto how both her and Asuna had met. When they were half way to the dorms, Naruto suddenly stopped walking. Konoka stopped and turn around and look at him with a mixture of worry and confusion on her face.
"Is something wrong Naruto-kun," asked a worried Konoka.
Naruto looked at her with a smile on his face and answered, "I'm okay Konoka-chan, I was just thinking is all."
"Think about what," asked Konoka while she leaned a little toward him.
"I was thinking about how cute your pouting was," answered Naruto.
"Your not telling me what you're thinking," pouted Konoka.
Naruto laugh a little and scratch behind his head.
"Okay Konoka-chan," said Naruto," I was think of rather or not to asked you to be my girlfriend or kiss your beautiful lips."
Konoka was now blushing like the same color of Hinata's blush. That only lasted for a good five minutes and it was replaced with a very bright smile. Naruto was now confused by her quick change of expression.
"Then, why don't you do both of your chooses Naruto-kun," Asked a smiling Konoka.
Naruto smiled and was about to talk until he along with the surroundings suddenly disappeared. What she is staring at was now the side wall of her buck bed. She was quietly pouting about being woken up from her dream. Her pouts were unheard because of Asuna's yell.
-Omake two: Instead of Naruto bumping into sasuke, he bump into Setsuna-
Naruto was walking down the hall that leads to Asuna, Konoka, and soon only Negi's room. He was lost in thought of how to get payback for the love potion that Negi made. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the foot steps around the corner. The only time he knew that there was someone around the corner was when he turn the corner and bumped into the said person. He sat up and rub his forehead. Naruto then heard a voice.
"Naruto-sensei what are you doing at the dorms," asked a girl voice.
Naruto looked at the person he bumped into. He saw it was indeed a girl that is wearing the mahora girl uniform, she also have brown eyes, and black hair. Her face was in a blank expression that reminded him of Sai's no emotion face. He then remember seeing her in 2-A. Then it hit him this was Setsuna Sakurazaki from 2-A.
"I was heading to Asuna and Konoka's room to get my stuff," answered Naruto.
"Oh is that it," asked Setsuna.
"Yes," said a bored Naruto.
"It seem like the potion is gone," thought Naruto.
"Run," said Kyubi.
"What do you mean run fur ball?"
"I mean run because the potion is still active and its slowly affecting her."
Naruto snapped out of his talk with Kyubi and saw that Setsuna looked a little dizzy. He also notice one of her eyes are were slightly dazed. Naruto took a deep breath and took a step back.
"I'll tell you one last time you brat," said Kyubi, "RUN!
"On second thought I'll get my stuff a little bit later," said Naruto.
Setsuna was about to asked him why, but he started to run away from her and right before the potion have taken its affect. Naruto was running full speed toward the exit.
"So why did you want me to run away from Setsuna," asked Naruto," and why did you sound very worried and scared?"
"The first reason is I think she is a half-demon," answered Kyubi.
"What wrong with half-demons?"
"The female half demons...I'll let you have a warning."
"Which is what?"
"If you see a tail, horns, or wings on her, just RUN LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!"
"I'll keep that in mind."
He looked back to see if Setsuna is chasing him which he didn't see her. He look back to where the exit is but only to see it open and a dazed Setsuna with a smile on her face holding the doors open. He also saw something on her back that look like...wings? Naruto stopped only 4 feet from Setsuna. Setsuna is looking at Naruto with a smile still on her face.
"Now where you planning on running to huh Na-ru-to-kun," asked a smiling dazed winged Setsuna.
"I knew it she is a half demon," said Kyubi, "good luck surviving kit."
"WAIT WHAT!"
"I was just going to get some fresh air," lied Naruto who is now sweating.
Setsuna put her wings away and walked in. Naruto was backing away from Setsuna and getting ready to run for his life. When Setsuna took one step toward him, Naruto turn and high tailed it. He was now run only half way toward Asuna, Konoka, and Negi's room. He could have made it fully if it wasn't a fact that Setsuna suddenly appeared in front of the middle of the hall that lead to the corner or where the said room was. Naruto skidded to a sudden stop, but unfortunately his complete stop was in Setsuna's arms and after that all went black.
"Damn it, I still don't get what the fur ball mean by 'good luck surviving'," thought Naruto, "and now I'm caught by a daze Setsuna."
After a few minutes, Naruto finally able to open his eyes. He try to get up but feel that he couldn't. He then look at his hand and saw that they were tied, then look down to his foots only to see them tied too. When he look at his foots, he also saw that he was only in his ramen boxers. Naruto struggled to get untied, however he stopped struggling when he heard a door open and closed. He look toward where the sound was at and found Setsuna standing at a door that he think is the bathroom. He then blush a shade of a tomato because of Setsuna is just wearing her undergarments. She looked at him and smiled.
"I'm so screwed, she is under the dumb potion."
"She not under the potion anymore but it did help awaken her demonic desires."
"Umm, which one of those desires was awaken?"
"...Lust..."
"So basically, I'M VERY SO SCREWED!"
"Yes, and good luck because female half demon desire last for a few days."
"WHAT!"
"I see that your awake Naruto-kun," said a little too cheery Setsuna.
"Um, why am I tied up Setsuna," asked a now frighten Naruto.
"Oh I don't want you to try to run away when your going to help me with something," answered Setsuna while she walk toward Naruto.
Naruto started back to try to get untied. As Setsuna's approached came closer, Naruto started to struggle more to escape from Setsuna's hold. When she was right next to buck bed, she leaned down toward Naruto's face. She hold his face still enough to let her kiss him. When Setsuna's lips had touched his, Naruto stop struggling and fell limb with his mind going blank.
(A few days later)
Negi had started class and he worried of where Naruto is at. Konoka was secretly worried of where Setsuna is at along with where Naruto is as well. Everyone's attention was dawned toward the now opening door. When the door was fully open, they all saw a normal Setsuna in the door way. She went to her seat, the person that came in made everyone (except for Chachamaru, Mana, and Chisame) worried. That person was Naruto how look like a little mess, his suit was messed up and he have rings around his eyes along with his skin was pale. Negi finally asked the question everyone what to asked.
"Naruto-nii-san what happened to you," asked a very worried Negi.
Naruto looked at Negi with his restless eyes which scarred poor Negi.
"Its nothing just continue with class Negi," said Naruto.
Negi just nodded and look back to the class. Naruto started to walk to the chair by the window. The whole class was watching him walk to the chair. When he sat down and put his head on the wall then closed his eyes. They saw that he had fall asleep, Asakura saw something on the side of his neck and started to point at Naruto with a shaky hand and her mouth open. Negi seeing this was about to asked her what wrong, until she yelled.
"WHY DOES NARUTO-SENSEI HAVE A BITE MARK ON HIS NECK!"
Everyone (except Setsuna) was now looking carefully at Naruto's neck and saw the bite mark. Almost all of 2-A started to wonder what the bite mark is. Eva had decided to speak.
"That bite mark means that he's marked," said Eva.
"What do you mean he's marked Evangline-san," asked Makie.
"It that he taken, someone's property, etc," answered Eva.
A lot of 2-A started to complain about Naruto being marked. Everyone didn't even notice Setsuna smiling and looking at our sleeping blond hero.
-Omake three: Sasuke and Eva in Eva's resort before the meeting with the dean-
Both Eva and Sasuke had appeared in Eva's resort. Sasuke was looking around in disbelieve of believing some strange girl that they are in the resort in the bottle. They keep on walking and stopped at what look like to Sasuke the court yard. Eva had told him to stay put while she went somewhere inside the resort. Sasuke being Sasuke that doesn't listen to commands from people he doesn't know went down to the beach. When he reached the beach by walking down the side of the resort. He walked up to a pair of lounge chairs and on one of them was what look like a puppet. He sat down on the lounge chair and stretched then relaxed. When he had closed his eyes, he heard a voice.
"Why are you in master's seat," asked the voice.
Sasuke open his eyes and looked around for who talked and saw no one. The one thing he saw was the puppet looking at him which confused him.
"A moment ago that puppet wasn't look at him before," thought Sasuke.
He continued to look at the puppet and waited for something but got not thing. He put a hand over his face and started to think if he was started to go crazy. Beside puppets can't talk, but he doesn't know anything about Chachazero. He was about to go back to laying down when the voice appeared again.
"Are master's new play thing," asked the voice in a slightly creepy way.
Sasuke quickly looked at the puppet and asked the number one question that even Kiba and Sai would ask if they think their starting to lose their sanity.
"Did you just talked to me," asked Sasuke.
"No the air was talking to you duck butt," answered Chachazero in a sarcastic tone.
"I won't let that insult slide you piece of wood," said Sasuke.
Sasuke took out his sword and tried to cut Chachazero in half, but his sword was blocked by a big carving knife. That gotten him angry which get went and started to go crazy trying to cut the puppet it. During his on sleight that he had to stand up to a get better way to try to cut Chachazero. This lasted for a couple of minutes and during that amount of time both of the lounge chairs are damage to a point where its not able to be repaired. Both Sasuke and Chachazero are now standing, with Sasuke still trying to cut Chachazero and the said puppet been blocking or dodging his sword attack. Eva had came back to where Sasuke was supposed to stay put. She found that he wasn't there which made her mad, Eva then heard sound of clashing metal down at the beach. She marched angrily toward the beach via stairs. When she got there, she saw Sasuke and Chachazero having what look like a sword fight. When she look over to where the lounge chairs are, her blood started boiling.
(Jiraiya's room in the resort)
Jiraiya felt a shiver goes down his spine. He look around his room to see if Eva was in there, but finding no sign of her in there. He just shrugged his shoulders and he was about to go back to his work when he heard one of most loudest and scariest yell of Eva coming from out on the beach.
(Back on the beach: Eva's yell)
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL HAPPENED TO MY LOUNGE CHAIR," yelled Eva.
Both Chachazero and Sasuke stopped in all movements at mid-swing. Sasuke turn around and saw a angry Eva coming near them. Inside his head, he was praying to not be the only one to be behind her anger. But with his luck was going on the down side, Chachazero decide to let the duck butt boy take all the blame.
"It's all duck butt boy's fault master," said Chachazero while point at Sasuke.
When Eva was two feet away from Sasuke, she was now enraged and Sasuke was the reciving end of it. Sasuke was shaking from under Eva's iron cold glare. Only three words came to mind before Eva started speaking a different language along with the temperture going down around him.
"I'm so screwed," thought a very frighten Sasuke.
When Eva had finish speaking the different language, Sasuke felt cold and notice that he was stuck in a block of ice with Eva smirking evilly at him. Sasuke had learned two things. The first one is that to listen to Eva and two never ever make Eva enraged.
