Chapter 3

"Oi guys! Are you done yet?" Naruto asked his clones as he wiped away the sweat off of his wet brow. Motioning out of the lake after having finished his swim, and gave a pleasured sigh. He concentrated and his body was enveloped in deep blue chakra, and the water that was on his skin began to slowly turn to steam; leaving his body dry.

There on the lake's bank were a large numerous of Naruto's clones. Each were settled in multiple groups and worked on his 'pet' projects, basically ideas that he had running through his head. Some of them seemed ingenious in themselves, but he wouldn't know until he tried them out for himself.

"Aye Boss!" they responded with enthusiasm.

Naruto studied he individual groups he had created, noticing some held confident looks and others seemed rather pleased with themselves. Taking their confirmation as an affirmative he began to dispel them.

Carefully making sure to do at least fifty at a time, since the last time he had tried to do over a migraine he was rewarded with a migraine that lasted roughly a week. Finally when he heard the last of the poof sound was done; he fell on one knee and panted slightly.

Naruto couldn't deny that he was exhausted and it was going on four thirty. All he needed was an hour or so rest and he would be as good as new, though he had to make a note not to push the envelope.

A smile wore on his lips as he went through a certain piece of information in his mind. Tomorrow he would have a really big surprise in store for Moka and Kurumu, but right now.

"Alright… huff… huff… time to head back' Naruto visibly limped back towards his dorm room, and he seemed satisfied with another night's worth of training completed. Though right now, he felt really really tired.

Having the exhaustion of over two thousand men who had all each been working roughly eight to nine hours each lagged his body. But Naruto was a strong individual; he wasn't a weakling or a coward by any means. He'd tough it out and endure, it was who he was and he wore a damn proud smile to prove it.

Yukari Sendou giggled happily to herself as paced down the halls of Youkai Academy. The young twelve year old high school student had just finished coming setting things up for the day's pranks, as usual. Most were aimed at those who made fun of her or who picked on her just because of what she was.

Oh she aimed to make those pranks big on daily basis just so they would regret trying to put her down or hurt her.

While walking down the empty halls, she decided to see what other things she could pull off. The day was still new and young. As she was walking past one of the classrooms, she heard something. She recognized the sound, and it was an organ. The sounds emanating from it sent chills down her spine, and it was simply beautiful to her ears.

The sounds were so beautiful that she found herself being magically pulled to it; it was so mysterious and powerful that it simply made her heart pound in her chest. Slowly she was following the sounds, which came from a classroom and opened a door to a crack.

Inside she spotted the one who was playing. It was a boy who was probably a first year like her. His fingers danced over the keys with such grace and meticulousness that she was in awe, his brows was furrowed in deep concentration as he continued to play. So much so that it simply left her breathless. She'd never seen anyone look so determined about anything.

There sitting in front of him were two girls. One had long flowing pink hair and was wearing the normal girl's attire while the other had blue hair that was in a ponytail, and a chest size that would make other girls jealous. Both were sitting closely, and were simply enthralled as what they were seeing before them. Deep blushes adorned their cheeks and there faces were one of adoration.

After playing down the final chorus of his performance with a few fast paced, and finished tickling the ivories, and gave a sigh. Both girls were clapping up a storm and began to cheer for him.

"Oh Naruto-kun! That was marvelous!" the pink haired girl cheered, a happy smile wore on her lips.

"It was amazing, Naruto-kun! I can't believe that it was your first try!" the blue haired sighed dreamily, her eyes were glazed with delight.

"Thanks Moka-chan, Kurumu-chan, it means a lot. I'd had hoped that it would have made you both happy. " the boy, Naruto gave a nod and a sheepish grin while scratching the back of his head.

"Sexy and kind!" Kurumu practically squealed. "I knew you were the perfect one!"

Kurumu grabbed Naruto around the waist and hugged him tightly to her chest. All the while, she made sure her breast rubbed seductively against his chest. Kurumu gave a sirens smile when he blushed brightly and felt a tingle go down his spine, weakening his resolve in trying to escape when her hands clasped his hips tightly.

Oh she simply loved the way they felt, and she'd always thought he had a nice butt in her opinion. Since last she got a really good look at it. The young succubus just couldn't help that she was so excited, so filled with life. More than she had ever felt in her entire life.

The young succubus just couldn't help that she was simply excited, and she was happier than she could possibly imagine. He understood her feelings, appreciated her and made her feel… special. That and she really liked the feel of his hips..

"Kurumu!" Moka cried as she began to pry the succubus off of her friend.

"No way! I was here first!" Kurumu hissed. She looked up pleadingly at the shinobi. "Don't you like it when I hug you like this, Naruto-kun?" her hands gave another squeeze and he nearly melted in a puddle of goo.

Naruto blushed heatedly, finding it really hard to think with Kurumu's hands were on his person.

Yukari stepped away from the door, her own cheeks tinged with pink. "Naruto?" she whispered in a dreamy sigh. Her hand came to her chest and she could still feel her heart quickening as she imagined herself and Naruto alone together. Her hands wrapped around his stomach as he played the organ for her and her alone, then she wouldn't be alone in this school anymore.

A wide smile adorned her face as she looked through the crack of the door; her eyes looked longingly at his handsome features. It was then and there that she had fallen in love with him. Already a plan began to buzz in her little pretty head, and she ran off with a thought in mind.

There's no way those monsters would appreciate his work like I can thought Yukari. Naruto-kun, I'm going to save you and make you mine. On that I promise!

Back in the room, Naruto sneezed, and then blinked to himself. "I hope I'm not catching a cold or anything" he mumbled to himself, while rubbing underneath his nose.

A shiver ran up his spine again, and Kurumu simply smirked seductively as her hands massaged him. "Don't worry, Naruto-kun. If you catch a cold, I'll take really really good care of you." Kurumu reached down for his hand and placed it on her bountiful chest.

"Wh-Wh-What?" Naruto stumbled out the words.

"Kurumu-chan!" exclaimed Moka, and the succubus simply shrugged.

"What?" Kurumu grinned mischievously, taking one final squeeze before holding her hands up. "I'm just simply showing Naruto-kun my appreciation"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kurumu had learnt quite a few things about Uzumaki Naruto over the last several days. For one his abilities in battle were all due to something called chakra; something that everyone was born with but only people like him could mold and use efficiently. She'd asked if he had any family or anything of the sort, but he simply answered that he never knew them and avoided the latter like the plague. The succubus figured that something terrible must have happened, since he'd simply look into the sky, and a far away look was in his eyes.

She was positive that she even saw a tear fall down his cheek, and she felt that whatever it was something terrible must have happened. Kurumu wanted to comfort him in anyway. And by comfort him, she simply asked if he would like to share a bed with her. Naruto became really flustered at the suggestion and was shocked, though Moka scolded for the lewd remark.

The succubus couldn't deny that she loved him. Naruto just had that sort of strength that no other man she'd met or seen seemed to posses. The fact that he was able to have such a strong resistance against her charm abilities spoke volumes, and it simply made her want him even more. She couldn't deny that he held a certain unique charm about him. The boy wasn't shy, and yet he wasn't outright and bold.

Simply a mixture of the two and she figured that she would have to change that some day. The idea simply left her giggling like a school girl and naughty thoughts plagued her mind. Kurumu could honestly say that she'd never met a boy so innocent, sweet, kind and gentle like Naruto Uzumaki.

After getting to know him, Kurumu had felt that something was nagging her in the back of her mind. She'd asked Naruto during their confrontation if he was serious. The blond ninja simply said no, because during the whole situation he was aiming to knock her out or calm her down, not kill her. She'd though back on their battle when he had slammed that weird ball of light in her stomach.

Kurumu couldn't deny that it hurt a lot, but it wasn't strong enough to seriously injure her or break any bones in anyway.

She was still in shock that he'd just started learning how to play the piano since yester, and already it seemed like he was a pro. He'd never told her that he had about five clones each working on the instruments for about nine to ten hours each, that and he had them going in rotation so he gained the maximum result when he dispelled them.

Kurumu had also notice that another thing that left her wondering about. Was when he had carried her and Moka back to his dorm room, she'd felt this strange yet comforting warmth from his belly, and realized that he had an attractive looking spiral tattoo of some kind on his stomach. But what was weird about it was that when he placed both she and Moka on his bed, and collapsed, it'd disappeared; just like that.

Then there were those times that whenever he go emotional or angry, which was rare. His blue eyes would become slitted, his whiskers became feral scars and his nails and canines would grow in size. Naruto never told anyone that he was a Jinchuriki for fear that he might have scared away Moka and Kurumu. It wasn't that he didn't want too, but rather he didn't see the need to, and he'd already promised that he would tell them about it. When the opportunity arose of course, and there was no need to rush.

She had all the time in the world.

It wasn't that he couldn't tell them, it was just that people or monsters fear what they don't understand. He just hoped and prayed that nobody had to make him resort to that power, only unless it was absolutely necessary of course or if the situation called for it. The Kyuubi's power was a dangerous tool in itself.

Because of that, it would sometime he would have a change in personality; a dramatic change you may call it. One guy had made a lewd and perverted comment about Kurumu and Naruto grabbed him, practically lifting him off of the ground and scaring the daylights out of him and he quickly apologized to the blue haired girl. The eyes and whiskers simply made him a more intimidating than he originally thought.

Oh she couldn't deny that she was in love with him and he was her Destine One; Her Mate of Fate as she'd hear her mother say. She would learn more about him but there was still Moka to contend with. Naruto was quite fond of her and it irked Kurumu. She only tolerated Moka's presence simply because she didn't want Naruto to be sad.

She knew that Uzumaki Naruto was a mystery; and she was more than determined to solve it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Akashiya Moka had been feeling exceptionally well since she had entered Youkai Academy. At first she was intimidate since she didn't know anyone there and the chances of another vampire being there were extremely low. Of course, that all changed when she ran over Uzumaki Naruto with her bike. He seemed really pleasant and very nice. He was also sincere and a little shy at times. That, and there were just other qualities about Naruto that she just couldn't turn away.

Moka really enjoyed being in Naruto's company. She'd felt that she could open up and be herself around him. She didn't have to shy away or pretend like she did in the human world. Naruto had certainly optimistic for the both of them. Still, he was surprisingly brave, like when he had stood up for her against Saizou. It was right there and then that it showed that Naruto was really her friend and wanted to protect her.

Moka still felt terrible for expressing that she hated humans. Naruto looked hurt when she said her opinions of humans. She'd felt utterly horrible for hurting him like that, but what made her cry in her dorm room was the fact that he was still willing to be friends with her, even if she did hate him for what she was. She was very happy that they made up after the incident.

Of course, nothing beat Moka's surprise at discovering that Naruto was what was known as a shinobi and everything that came with it. She'd found him doing things that she was possible that no normal human being would be able to perform. Still it made her feel special that she was friends with such a caring person, and that he'd make her smile. He trusted her and slowly but surely began to let her into his life.

Naruto Uzumaki made Moka feel wanted, special and precious in his eyes. What more could she ask for?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As the three friends walked through the hallway, they seemed to draw looks from the other students. The girls were jealous that Moka and Kurumu for being in the company of the mysterious Uzumaki Naruto, and the guys were extremely jealous that Naruto was with two of the most beautiful girls in his class, and they were hanging out with him.

Naruto frowned visibly when he felt there stares and heard there whispers and seeking revenge against him, but said nothing. Seeing that today was going to be a rather new day.

Oh it was going to be new alright.

PLANG!

"Itai!" Moka cried as a metal bucket dropped down on her head.

PLANG!

"Ow!!!" Kurumu exclaimed as another bucket dropped on her head too.

"What the hell?" Naruto reacted as he saw his two friends nursing their heads, "Moka-chan, Kurumu-chan, are you guys ok?"

"I'm quite alright, Naruto-kun," Moka replied.

"But the person who did this isn't going to be okay," growled Kurumu. 'They better hope I don't have a bump.'

All of a sudden, a girl no older than twelve stepped forth in front of the trio and pointed her wand at them. She was wearing a variant of the girls' uniform and in addition wore a brown cape and a witch's hat. It didn't take a genius to guess what she was.

"Step away from Naruto-kun, you evil monsters!" demanded Yukari. "Or else I'll put a hex on you!" She was trying to look dramatic, but due to Yukari's stature she didn't get much of an effect. All the other students were simply, for a better word, shocked at the development.

"Hey, is this your big idea of a joke!?" Kurumu spoke angrily as she approached the witch. Naruto grabbed her arm and held her back. "Let me go, Naruto-kun!"

"Kurumu-san, come on calm down," said Naruto pleadingly. "She's just a kid."

"I'm not a kid!" Yukari snapped. "I'm going to be 13 next month and I want you to stay away from Naruto-kun if you know what's good for you!"

"Who the hell do you think you are you little brat!?" shouted Kurumu angrily. Her teeth were bared and were practically grinding by how hard she clenched them.

"Naruto-kun's future girlfriend! That's who!" proclaimed Yukari proudly. There were mumbles coming from the rest of the students.

Moka gave Naruto's surprised face a rather a scrutinizing look. "Naruto-kun, do you know this girl?"

"Never met her before in my life, save for now," Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. He approached the little witch and knelt down slightly to Yukari height. "Would you mind telling me you name, please?" he asked kindly.

"Yukari Sendou," smiled Yukari while glaring at Kurumu. "And I'm here to rescue you!"

"Rescue me?" Naruto had to blink on that one, and was rather surprised. "From what?" He didn't understand what was going on with this girl.

"You're an amazing pianist, Naruto-kun," Yukari practically had admiration burning in her beautiful eyes. "I heard you play the organ and you blew me away. Please, play only for me. No one in this school will appreciate what you're capable of doing.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head, and was surprised again by her statement. "But, Moka-chan and Kurumu-chan do," at this the little girl snorted.

"It's not so, they can never truly understand you like I can. There only pretending." She took his hand. "Please, come with me." She begged him, but he didn't budge. "Na…Naruto-kun?"

The ninja was simply at a lost for words, not really know what to say. What was he supposed to say to a twelve and a half year old?

"Get out of here, you little brat!" snapped Kurumu. "Naruto-kun is my Destined One! Not yours!"

Yukari glared and waved her wand, causing another bucket to fall smack down on Kurumu's head.

KLONG!

"Alright, that's it!" Kurumu lunged. "Your ass is grass!"

"Kurumu-chan, stop please!" Naruto pleaded once again. He turned towards Moka. "Moka-chan, help me out here!!"

"Oh Naruto-kun," Yukari cooed dreamily at the sight, while holding her flushed cheeks. "You do care about me!"

"Kurumu-chan!" Moka cried, going to assist her friend in restraining the enraged succubus. "Please calm down! She's only twelve and a half!"

Yukari watched the exchange with growing suspicion. Since Naruto wasn't going with her, there was obviously something wrong. She had heard that a succubus can enslave men with their charm abilities. Maybe that was why he wasn't falling for her charm. It seems she had come just in time! Naruto needed to be rescued! One way or the other!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yukari had vanished in the on looking crowds so Kurumu was determined to never see her again. Naruto was a little bit confused about the young girl's actions, but would ponder on it when he had the chance. There was something so shatteringly familiar about her eyes that bothered him. Moka was simply happy that things were peaceful again.

Lunchtime had rolled around and the three friends were seated at a cafeteria table. Kurumu was snuggling as close as she possibly could to Naruto and attempted to feed him. Moka was trying to defend Naruto from Kurumu's advances, but it looked like she was trying to keep him to herself.

Off hiding behind a wall, Yukari was watching with a frown marring her face. She should be the one eating lunch with Naruto! Those other two girls didn't know how to appreciate someone special like him. Well, she would make sure they got lost and leave Naruto all to her!

Drawing her wand, Yukari concentrated her magical energy into it. Once it was ready, she waved it around and unleashed her spell.

Over with Naruto and his friends, the dishes of food that Moka and Kurumu had purchased started to glow and trembled.

"Huh?" the three friends blinked as they noticed how the plates of food were beginning to act funny.

To their surprise, the two plates of food suddenly rose into air. The three friends could only watch in shock at what was happening. The plates of food rose a few feet higher until the contents couldn't be seen.

"What the-?" Kurumu was the first to speak.

She didn't get to finish her sentences when the dishes suddenly tipped over. Both Moka and Kurumu cried in shock when their meals ended up splattering on their faces and getting tangled in their hair. They didn't even have time to cry in shock before the plates landed on their heads heavily.

"Itai!" both girls cried.

"Moka-chan! Kurumu-chan!" Naruto was really shocked; he'd never seen anything like that before in his entire life. "Are you guys hurt or anything?"

"I'm okay," Moka reassured her friend.

"Rrrgh!" Kurumu growled in her throat. "This is going to take forever to get out!"

"Ha ha ha ha!" came the familiar child-like voice of laughter nearby. Kurumu, Moka, and Naruto looked up to see Yukari standing plainly as day and laughing at them. "I got you! Better stay away from Naruto-kun if you want this to stop!"

"You… little… bitch!" Kurumu screeched as her nails began to lengthen. "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Kurumu-chan!" Naruto spoke, and he was doing his best to calm the succubus down before she unleashed her full power. After all, Yukari was still a child, witch or not.

"She's just a kid!" Moka cried, also trying to calm Kurumu down.

"It doesn't matter!" Kurumu snapped. "She's trying to take my Destined One away from me, and I'll NEVER let that happen!"

"……" Naruto was speechless, and slightly fearful of her tone of voice, but held it together.

"And Moka!" Kurumu frowned. "You care about Naruto-kun too don't you? Doesn't it bother you that a little brat is trying to force him to be with her?!"

"You tried the same thing awhile back ya know," Moka mumbled.

"That was different and I learned my lesson!" Kurumu snapped, though it sounded more like a hiss of annoyance. "I'm not about to let some little kid try to take my Naruto-kun away from me!"

"Who says he's yours?!" Yukari snapped. "And I'm not a little kid you sow!"

"Uhhh," Naruto mumbled, but it seemed that no one was listening to him.

Yukari waved her wand again and then all the plates in the cafeteria floated up and then flew over to Moka and Kurumu. The two girls shrieked as piles of food were dumped upon them. Naruto's hand was then grabbed by Yukari who led him away from the cafeteria while Moka were busy cleaning themselves up.

Outside of the building, Yukari smiled triumphantly as she'd claimed Naruto. She turned to smile at the older boy, "Now, Naruto-kun, you're safe from those two!"

The blond frowned and she nearly flinched by the stern look he gave her. "Yukari," Naruto spoke firmly. "Yukari, what you did in there was not very nice, not at all"

"Those girls are no good for you!" she reasoned. "I bet that succubus put a spell on you and that vampire just keeps you around for your blood. They'll never be able to see the way I do; they can never truly understand how special you are!"

Naruto defended, "But they're my friends Yukari! Maybe if you give them a chance they'll be your friends too. There not as bad as you think or make them out to be."

Yukari looked to him in shock and she shuddered, "I thought you were different…"

"What?" he was perplexed by her rather peculiar change in behavior?

"I mean you're special, like me, I know it and I can feel it, and I thought you could understand me…"

"Yukari-chan?" Naruto was really worried that he might have hurt her feelings, so he tried to place a comforting hand on her shoulders. But she shook him off and an indescribable look was in her eyes.

"YOU… YOU…BIG BAKA!!!" Yukari cried before she waved her wand causing several buckets to hit Naruto's head in succession. The ninja was surprised and unable to dodge so he ended up being buried in a rather large pile of buckets. The little witch girl ran away crying without looking back.

"Naruto-kun?" Moka came out to look for her friend and then she found the pile of buckets. Upon closer inspection, she found him under the pile, groaning in pain. She gasped. "Naruto-kun!" Moka called as she helped him dig his way out of the pile. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Moka-chan," Naruto said while rubbing the back of his sore head. "But that girl has a problem. I know it, but I just don't know what's wrong with her?"

"Well, I did some asking around about Yukari Sendou," explained Kurumu as she arrived. "Apparently she's a genius so she skipped a few grades."

"That's obvious," Moka agreed. "She's 12 years old."

"She's also a witch which might also be part of the problem," added Kurumu.

"Why is that?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Well, witches are border beings," stated Kurumu. "Meaning they are neither monster nor human. They are in-between and well it's also hard to determine if someone is a witch or not by appearance alone. Witches are looked down upon by most monsters and are hated by humans. I guess she feels she doesn't belong. Added that she's a genius with nobody her age in this school…"

"She's lonely," Naruto finished sadly. The blond ninja knew that feeling all to well, to be hated and feared for something that was out of your control. To be looked down on and feel small and insignificant, those feelings were like a bitter taste in his mouth.

She reminded him of himself when he was her age, totally and utterly alone. Just the thought made him involuntarily shiver.

"Well, she's not out problem," Kurumu replied nonchalantly while hugging Naruto from behind. "Come on, darling, let's go and…"

"I'm going to help her" Naruto spoke, his hair overshadowed his eyes; Kurumu was surprised and had to do a double take.

"Help her? After what she did to you?!"

"Naruto-kun is right," Moka agree. "We know what it's like to be alone, even you Kurumu. Maybe… the least we can do is be the type of friends she needs.

Kurumu gave a defeated sigh, remembering that in a way, she too was alone before she met Naruto and Moka and coming to Youkai Academy. "Alright, I'll help find the little brat."

"All right, let's go find her".

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yukari was crying as she walked away and accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry," she apologized and looked up to see one of the boys in her class.

"Well you lookie here," he said to his two friends, grinning savagely, "It's the little witch girl.

One of them pointed, "Don't you know it's against the rules to show your true form? I mean look at that awful getup."

"Or do you think you're too good for the rules?" the leader sneered.

"We should teach her a lesson, boss," the last one said and their leader grinned.

"I agree boys," he agreed. They loomed over her and she was frightened and fear gripped her heart and squeezed like a vice.

Naruto-kun…save me…please'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yukari Sendou was thrown roughly against the bark of an old tree, and blinding pain exploded through her body. The three students that had dragged her out here into the forest simply grinned toothily, their eyes held mirth as the young witch's plight.

The Class Rep simply cracked his knuckles. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for something like this. Trash like you has no place in our school! Ready boys?"

"Yosh boss!" Suddenly before Yukari's terrified eyes, the bodies of the three students began to transform, their bodies hunched over. Their faces bulged and revealed scales. Their claws looked razor sharp, their teeth became serrated as spikes appeared on their backs, and tails sprouted out of the back of their uniforms.

Suddenly the three student's bodies then began to transform, their bodies hunched over, their faces bulged and revealed scales. Their claws looked razor sharp, their teeth became serrated as spikes appeared on their backs, and tails sprouted out of their pants.

"Now, what are we going to do with you" the Class representative growled as he stalked the witch.

"Get away from me!" Yukari cried, drawing her wand and began to chant a spell. But before she could complete it, he grabbed the wand with his teeth. Chomping off the top half of it like it was rock candy.

"Oh, I'm sorry," his tone and eyes held mirth before he spat the piece of wand back out to the ground. "Did I break your little toy? Aww, now where were we?"

"Oi boss!" one of his goons hissed. "I say we eat her, I mean no one is going to find out and it'll look like an accident!"

"Hmm, that's a great idea! Face it kid, no ones going to save you! RAWR!!!" the class rep leapt forward with his jaws wide. Yukari could practically the back of his mouth; her eyes were big and fearful. She couldn't believe it, she was going to die alone and not even make one friend. The young witch couldn't help but let out a scream of terror.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" a voice roared.

Before anyone knew it, the class rep took a violent blow to the face. Yukari could only watch in surprise when he was sent back flying, and he crashed in a heap against his other two minions. Dust blocked her vision so she couldn't see anything for a while; someone skidded in front of her Yukari. The lizard men got out of their shock and began to regroup.

"Yukari!" Moka cried, running towards her with Kurumu behind her.

"Moka? Kurumu?" Yukari gasped. "W...Where's Naruto-kun?"

"I'm right here Yukari-chan" The dust finally settled down and Yukari saw who it was that had saved her. It was Naruto, and he sent a solid glare trained on the three transformed students, who looked equally pissed.

"You bastard, get out of the way!" the class rep growled at the group of two girls and one boy who were all defending the small witch that deserved retribution.

Naruto gave a feral growl and held the serious expression on his face. "I'm not going to standby and watch you three bully her just because she's a witch. I don't care that Yukari'-chan is a witch, none of that matters to me. She's my friend and I won't let you lay a finger on her!!!" he yelled with righteous fury.

"Naruto-kun?" Yukari whispered, and was simply astounded to no end. He came to her rescue even after everything she'd done to his friends and himself. He saw her as a friend, even after the way she'd treat him? But, wasn't he also a monster?

"So what do you think you going to do about it?" the leader questioned, and his goon squad was at his side, ready for anything else he may have.

"What I'm going to do? Heh, I think you got it all wrong," Moka and Kurumu motioned next to Naruto who took off his coat and slid it to the floor. He then turned to both women gave a smile. "The correct term is, what we're going to do to you. Shall we, Moka-chan? Kurumu-chan?"

Moka and Kurumu nodded as Naruto took hold of the Rosario. At the same time, he began to draw upon the power within himself, and gave a feral roar as the lizard men could only look on.

Yukari simply watched as Naruto and the two girls he was with began to see the change right before their very eyes. Moka's body was enveloped by so much supernatural energy that she began to morph, her body turning that into an adult. Her hair became pure silver and her eyes were slits like that of a cat and red as blood. Her fangs were prominent and stood out of her mouth proudly.

Naruto's eyes became blue slits and black rings appeared around his eyes. His nails lengthened as did his canines to the point where they jutted out of his mouth. His whiskers looked more like feral scars and his shoulder length hair began to drape down the middle of his back and seemed spikier than usual. His body was engulfed in red chakra, and took the shape of a fox complete with long ears and a tail that swayed behind him back and forth.

Kurumu sported purple leather wings, clawed feet and fingernails, and her eyes were narrowed at their opponents.

Their transformation had their completion, and both Moka and Kurumu revealed themselves to be sensual fem fatales. Moka and Kurumu could both feel Naruto's power was simply rising at an alarming rate. Naruto had admitted to Moka that where he came from that he was a human, though he never really got around to explaining that he was also a very special individual in possession of demonic power.

A very powerful and destructive demonic power.

Naruto's new form looked like something out of a hellish nightmare, but neither women felt anything remotely close to fear in their hearts. There was an ominous feeling about him, yes, but not something that resort to cower in fear.

"Hmmm, very interesting," Moka eyed Naruto's form carefully and meticulously with slitted eyes. "I do believe I've never seen you transform into this before."

"Naruto-kun," Kurumu was simply at a lost of words. "Is... is this your true form?" The succubus was left completely and utterly speechless. The amount of energy and power resonating from his body was dense and visible to the naked eye. Her eyes practically shined as she stared at this new transformation she had never seen before.

"In a manner of speaking, yea" Naruto spoke out aloud; all the while he cracked his knuckles and flexed his fingers. A feral growl escaped his throat as he leveled a very stern at his reptilian opponents that stood before him.

The lizard men simply hissed and swore in annoyance at this new situation.

.

"Sugoi!" Yukari gasped as she took in the sight of Naruto's transformed self.

"What the-?!" one of lizards spoke in shock, and his body was visibly shivering. "What…what the hell are you?!"

"Who me?" Naruto questioned as he took a step forward, and they shakily held their ground. "Before I was the guy that was going to beat the piss out of you for what you did to Yukari-chan, but now," He let a menacing growl escape his throat, he knew that he could beaten these guys in his human form, hands down.

But what they did to Yukari, scaring her, picking on her, and to even verbally discriminate against her just because she was something that they didn't like.

To sum it all up, he was in a very, very, angry mood today, and they were going to feel his wrath unlike anything they've ever felt before... "BUT NOW I'M THE GUY THAT'S GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!!!" he bellowed in an outrage, Moka couldn't help but smirk at this newly transformed Naruto. She found him very, very sexythis way.

Though the idea of him hiding this secret from him did annoy her, and she was going to get the truth out of him. Friend or not she was going to beat him black and blue for hiding such a secret away, from her of all people.

"Such a pity, it takes three men to take care of a child," Moka scoffed arrogantly, her wine colored eyes narrowed slightly. "Such low leveled weaklings if you ask me"

"What you say bitch?!" the leader growled. "That's it! Get them! Kill them all!"

The lizard men roared in fury and charged. To regular humans, this would most scare the day lights out of an individual; most likely it would have even been intimidating.

However, as they closed the distance, Moka and Kurumu took a ready stance. Neither of the cronies realized both women had struck until the last minute.

Suddenly, both lizard men were sent flying, one sent flying by a roundhouse kick and the other with sever scratches; courtesy of Moka and Kurumu. Both monsters were had lost most of their teeth and received deep scratches on their faces and body, after meeting the boot of Moka and the claws of Kurumu.

"No way," he muttered in shock, his men's eyes were simply white and he looked to where his men had fallen. "Just one attack, just one attack and my men were blown away completely.

"NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!!!"

The lizard man whirled around to see who had spoken. What he saw made his heart drop, a huge red like claw struck out at him, grabbing him tightly. The boy roared, while dragging his arm around, controlling the red chakra claw as he began to send the Class rep crashing through trees, and the ground.

Pained and agonized screams left his throat as he slammed into the ground, causing his body to simply bounce in the process. Moka and Kurumu was greatly surprised that Naruto could hit someone at such a long distance.

Manipulating his chakra limbs from long range, Naruto landed a vicious upper cut underneath his opponents chin. Practically sending his battered and near broken body into the air. Moka simply smirked, to herself as she pushed her yoki into her legs, and leapt into the air.

Kurumu followed closely behind the vampire, all the while refusing to be outdone by her rival.

Yukari Sendou watched in complete and utter shock and awe at what was practically happening right before her very eyes. Both women seemed to revolve at a high speed in the air. The lizard man watched in complete horror as both women were heading in his way at a rapid pace.

His blood ran cold at what happened next.

"KNOW YOUR PLACE!!!" Their heels connected heavily with in perfect synergy and strength that the collected force practically caved in his chest in the process.

The last of the lizard men screamed in pain as he began his quick descent. His reptilian eyes could pick up that he was going to hit the ground hard, and closed his eyes to await his imminent impact.

But he felt his body suddenly stopped in mid air. He opened his eyes, and they widened in complete and utter alarm as the bloody red appendage that had practically dragged him through the dirt was clamped down firmly on his waist. He couldn't even react if he wanted when he was sent sailing once more into the air once again.

The blond shinobi manipulated his fox like appendages allowing him to follow. He swung and slung himself through the air and was practically several meters above the class representative. Moka, Kurumu and Yukari could only watch in awe as a purple colored orb hovered in the middle of his hands.

The orb was roughly the size of three softballs, and looked all the more menacing in appearance. A menacing snarl masked his face as he lashed with righteous fury at Yukari's attacker with the full extent of his anger and fury.

"RASENGAN!!!!!" Naruto shoved the ball of condensed chakra into the form of the lizard man. The result was that the scaly fiend was enveloped in a purple and uniquely red colored light. The three girls who had watched could audibly hear the lizard man's screams of pain as he was sent plummeting across the ground.

He eventually crashed into a clearing and crashed landed into a lake, creating a large explosion. His battered frame began to sink into the bottom of the lake.

Naruto landed on all fours and simply righted his posture. The boy casually brushed himself off and ran his fingers through his spiky locks before turning towards his companions. Slowly the red chakra began to recede back into his body, his features turning back to normal.

The silver haired Moka walked over towards the ninja with a confident stride, her eyes locked onto the eyes the blond warrior. "You're a rather interesting individual, Uzumaki Naruto"

Her hand was held out in expectancy. "My rosario, if you will"

At that Naruto blinked like an owl for at least three seconds, before he realized what she had asked. Moka took great pleasure as he fidgeted around before producing said item to the super vampire.

Her hand reached for the silver and red trinket, though her fingers slowly, but casually unseen by the naked eye they brushed against the feel of his palm. "Until we meet again, Uzumaki," she gave a fleeting yet somehow knowing look.

Moka reattached it to her chain, and her powers began to slowly recede, bringing her back to her normal state. The pink haired vampire nearly fell forward, but she felt her head rest against something hot and firm. She fell against Naruto's chest.

"Hey Moka-chan, are you alright? No injuries or anything right?" he asked genuinely.

"Just tired really," a smile tugged onto her lips as she looked at him. "Other than that, I'm fine Naruto-kun, thank you" He gave a smile in return.

Though he was nearly bowled when a blur known as Kurumu glomped him from behind. "Oh Naruto-kun! I didn't know you could do that, it was so incredible!" She replied with such exuberance, her wonderful assets were buried solidly into his back causing his face to light up with a deep flush of crimson. The sensation of Kurumu's soft, warm flesh was almost too much for the ninja to handle.

Moka glared heatedly at her female companion and attempted to pry the overly amorous succubus.

"Naruto-kun!" Yukari called as she hugged him tightly around his waist, much to his surprise when earlier when she practically buried him under so much kitchenware that Ma would have had a conniption at the very least.

"Naruto-kun!" Yukari called as she hugged him around his waist, much to his surprise. "You're so amazing!" She asked. "That aura, what was it?"

"Its something exclusive only to me Yukari-chan, okay?"

She nodded her pretty little head, but there eyes turned to that of sadness and confusion. "Naruto-kun, why did you come to save me? Even after I did those horrible things to you and your friends, you still risked your life and came and saved me. Why?" her voice cracked a little, meaning that she was going to cry.

The blond male placed his hands gently onto her slender shoulders. "It's because your we're friends," he knelt down to look her in the eye. "Isn't that right, Yukari-chan?"

"W…We are?" Yukari felt her eyes and lips trembled slightly.

"Of course, you, Moka-chan and Kurumu-chan are my dearest friends," Naruto elaborated. "I'm really sorry if I came off as a jerk to you and not being able to understand how you felt at the moment. But I realize that you and I have a lot in common really, and if you would allow me too I promise to protect you all with my very last breath and I'll always be your friend no matter what. Count on it!" He gave her the biggest most sincerest smiles he could possibly muster.

The little witch in response couldn't help but feel shaken all over, and her heart felt like it was simply going to burst out of her chest if she didn't react soon. His very words held so much weight and honesty within that she simply couldn't help herself, she burst into a face full of tears and nearly knocked him over when she suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around her neck.

He was a bit startled by this for a moment, but simply wrapped his arms around her, hugging her back.

After her rescue, Yukari was left with her thoughts. Despite the way she'd treated Moka, Naruto and Kurumu, they still came to her rescue. It made her wonder if, if she gave people a chance, that maybe they would want to be friends. The way she behaved might have had something to do with it. She never really tried to make friends with anyone except for Uzumaki Naruto.

Thinking of him brought her to his feral form. She was a little intimidated by how he had so easily clobbered the lizard man, but that feeling went away when she got a good look at him. In fact, the aura that he gave off was warm and comforting.

Even though he had that scary chakra shroud though, he was still very nice to her, going so far as to call her a friend even though she had been so mean to him and his friends and he beat up the guy who picked on her and put him in a coma. The combination of finally finding friends and just how mean she had been made her cry.

The little witch turned in her bed and turned the lamp light off, and her mind was simply abuzz with different thoughts. That red aura that enveloped him was somehow familiar to something she had heard about a long while back when she started to learn magic at a young age. She was absolutely sure of it, but Yukari decided that she would have to look into it at a later date. For now she was simply spent, but she did muster enough energy to simply blush and sigh happily against her pillow.

She was going to need the energy for tomorrow.

"So your sure Yukari-chan is getting along with her class now?" Naruto questioned as he walked down the hall with Moka and Kurumu

Several days had passed since the incident with Yukari and the lizard men. Naruto hadn't even heard a peep or sound of the spry little girl since. At first he was worried that she might have been in trouble again, but Kurumu assured him otherwise.

"She even apologized for all the pranks she's played on them," Kurumu added.

"That's good," smiled Moka gratefully. "She's finally making friends."

"As long as she stays out of my hair, that's fine by me," said Kurumu. She still hadn't forgiven the young witch brat for her stunt in the cafeteria. It had taken her hours to get the food out of her hair and clothes. As a succubus, Kurumu took great pride in her looks and hated it when they were ruined in any way.

The three friends were walking past a classroom when a door opened up. None of them had second thought about it as they continued on. However, their attention was instantly captured when they heard something familiar.

"Moka-chan!" a childish voice squealed and Moka gasped as she found herself on her back with Yukari on top of her, nuzzling her breasts.

"Yukari-chan?" Naruto's eyes were as wide as dinner plates, not believing what was going on in front of his eyes.

"It's her again…" hissed Kurumu.

"Umm, Yukari-chan," Moka spoke. She felt extremely uncomfortable as Yukari attempted to meld herself to her body as best as she could. She was also sighing contentedly

"I've decided!" said Yukari confidently, "From now on I love Naruto-kun AND Moka-chan!"

The reaction was obvious from Naruto, Kurumu and Moka, "SAY WHAT!!!"
