Slowly Naruto and Hinata took a step back.
"I-It can talk?" Naruto pointed.
The weird... reptilian thing put her hands on her sides and her cheeks puffed out with a huff, the fire floating on her tail grew, and the guy at her side glared at them.
A tick mark appeared on her temple, "Rrrgh!- Hey ya brat who do you think you're calling an it!" She yelled. Naruto and Hinata continued to stare.
The man named Tyler narrowed his eyes, but raised a hand to calm his companion nonetheless, "Easy there Sabuki…"
"Hmph!" She turned away, trying to control her temper for being called an it.
"What are you doing all the way out here?" Tyler asked.
Why was the girl wearing such skimpy clothes? And the guy was shirtless. They were both bathed with dirt and blood and what little clothes they had was reduced to rags.
Maybe he could overlook it since the boy seemed to be a little under the required tamer age, His attention turned to the girl accompanying him, she had a few odd attributes, the main thing being her eyes.
Sabuki narrowed her eyes, feeling an odd energy coming from the both of them, the girl's was… much stranger though, and as if it was fluctuating from what she could feel.
Was she a Pokegirl? No human female she ever met had such... Strange energy and scent, added with the unique eyes... She didn't feel human.
The red-scaled anthro looked the girl up and down; she had to be a pokegirl.
She turned to the blond kid and gestured with her flaming tail, "Hey kid… what is she?" motioning with her tail she pointed to the white-eyed pokegirl.
"She's talking." Hinata muttered putting a nervous fist to her chin.
Naruto blinked, staring at the creature, 'I had no idea that these creatures had the ability to talk… why only this one?'
The Charmanda blinked and turned to Tyler.
"Hey Tyler does your pokedex say anything? Her boobs aren't that big, she looks thirteen." She pointed, curiously.
Hinata blanched, and then looked down at her chest and blushed.
Expertly the dark haired teen flipped out a small red rectangular box and a small little red light flashed into her eyes apparently scanning her.
'What the-?' Blinking, she covered her eyes.
Naruto's only grew more and more confused, but as he observed the curiosity and interest in those twos' eyes grow because of Hinata, Naruto couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger ignite as he grunted and unconsciously stepped in front of Hinata.
Hinata blinked again, as a little headache formed, she began to feel a little strange… an urge to kill suddenly passed through the back of her mind. Why was she suddenly thinking about killing, that wasn't like her?
'Mnn! Focus!' She reprimanded, she hadn't exactly felt herself ever since this all started happening.
Something else was wrong, maybe it was all this excitement.
The Hyuuga shook her head and focused as the little machine beeped; quickly she grabbed Naruto's shoulders and hid behind him. Naruto's resolve hardened aware of Hinata becoming frightened, who were they to just try to... do whatever it was they were trying to do.
Tyler raised a brow, "There's nothing here." he muttered, Sabuki glared at the little box.
"Stupid thing must be malfunctioning, again." She huffed, Tyler shook his head, "That can't be, I just had it renewed."
"But there's no data." Sabuki frowned; Tyler looked up and tilted his head trying to figure out what she was.
He glanced to his companion, "You sure she's a Pokegirl?"
"I'm sure that she's not a human." The lizard girl replied.
Hinata's brow twitched, feeling a little offended at comment as she gripped Naruto's shoulders more firmly.
Naruto glared at them.
"Hey! Stop it, you're scaring Hinata!" He yelled making Tyler look up.
Hinata? Was that her species or the name he gave her? If technology didn't work, it was always better to get a primary source, "Hey kid, what's that Pokegirl you have there?"
"What?" Naruto asked incredulously, "… The hell's a Pokegirl?" He muttered.
Hinata leaned closer to Naruto.
"A what?" Hinata asked behind him.
Naruto looked back at her, "I think they think you're one of those anthro creatures." He answered suspiciously, glaring at the two out of the corner of his eye.
Hinata stared at him for a moment, "… Why would they think that?-!" She freaked, feeling very strange about that assumption.
"I don't know," He whispered back, "But don't worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." He assured seriously
The red-scaled anthro bared her teeth, "Grrgh! Hey! I heard that you little brats!" She roared, the fire on her tail spiking up.
Tyler's groaned, "Sabuki, calm down!"
She glared at them, "They're calling me a creature and an 'It'! I'm a Charmanda, a Charmanda damn it!" she declared as she began trudging toward, "How about I show you what you had for breakfast this morning!" she threatened as she raised a fist.
Tyler caught a hold of her arm, "Sabuki! It doesn't matter, get ahold of yourself!" stopping her from charging, she huffed out black smoke from her nostrils.
Naruto and Hinata's eyes widened, 'She can hear us even from this distance?' Naruto realized, and also, the clear display that she can somehow… create and control fire? She's more dangerous than he thought.
Naruto glared back, "Why don't you just back off!" he yelled.
The Charmanda growled, "Why don't you let that scrawny Pokegirl of yours do the talking!" she challenged, pointing a finger at Hinata.
"Her name is Hinata!" He repeated angrily, "And she especially isn't one of you!
Tyler and the Charmanda's face froze… then her eyes flared, "Why you little speciest half-pint! I'll tear you apart!" Tyler shut his eyes trying to contain his growing frustration.
Hinata began to tense as she glared at the hostile anthro, seeing the flame on her tail begin to grow; she stepped to Naruto's side.
"H-Hinata…?"
Hinata glared at them, veins bulging along her temple, "I won't let you lay a finger on him you reptile!" She warned, her Byakugan activating.
The Charmanda's eyes ignited "See! I told you she's a Pokegirl! I can win this and I'll beat you both into the ground!" her claws and tail at the ready.
Naruto bared his teeth, "Bring it on you scalie monster!"
"Enough!" Tyler barked, annoyed at how they constantly insulted his companion, he turned a harsh eye at the two across the clearing and pointed at Hinata, "What species and element are you!' he demanded.
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Hinata burst, all this back and forth was taking its toll on her patience and being yelled at was the breaking point for her.
*Huff…! huff!*
All four of them stood ready, huffing and only growing more frustrated. Tyler looked over to his companion and she nodded with a near pleading smirk.
Tyler took a deep breath to clear his head before he frowned and pointed at Naruto, "You."
"Hm?" Naruto grunted.
Tyler looked at him with the utmost seriousness, "I challenge you to a Pokebattle for Salvage!" he declared and already with their blank expressions he continued, "If you lose this battle…"
"We get that Pokegirl."
Hinata's eyes slowly widened to their length, frozen in place with a mix of disbelief and insurmountable… anger.
Hinata silently began to fume.
"The fuck you just say!" Naruto roared, his fists tightened so hard that his knuckles turned white as he gritted his teeth.
Tyler glared back at them, and turned to his Charmanda, "Sabuki?"
"Oh yeah." she replied grinning as she said this. The look on their faces only making the two angrier.
Hinata stepped forward.
"What kind of man are you... you disgusting man!" Hinata accused.
Sabuki stepped forward with her tail flaring fire but Hinata's vision was becoming blurred with anger, this was nothing like her.
"Watch it you bitch!" Sabuki growled.
Hinata's felt hot, stinging even, her fists were beginning to shake. A battle to claim her! As if she could be won! Hinata had her Byakugan blazing a fiery anger in her eyes.
"You- You people are... Assholes!" Hinata yelled.
Naruto was staring at her in shock, "... Hinata." He was astonished; he'd never seen Hinata so angry.
"Rrgh!" He grunted, putting a hand over his stomach, he began to feel hot, burning even! Hissing through his teeth, he shut an eye, 'Grrgh! What the hell?'
He looked up, and stared, "H-Hinata! Your eyes!" He blurted.
"It doesn't matter." She whispered, a growing smirk slid across her lips, Hinata was in the heat of the moment and she didn't want it to leave.
What use to be lavender eyes were now pitch black.
Sabuki grinned, "Definitely a Pokegirl... Leave this to me Tyler."
The fire in the back gave a crackling sound, at the next sound her ears picked up Hinata blurred with black chakra covering her hands.
Sabuki paused.
Naruto was dumbfounded, his brain and comprehension altogether being dropped, when was Hinata ever that fast? During their spars she had never done any of that, what the heck?
Naruto's eyes drifted to the oddly colored chakra around Hinata's hands.
'Black chakra?' Naruto thought, never had he seen black chakra!
Naruto watched as her hands, the black chakra swirling menacingly around her fists, something was weird about it... almost as if it were similar to his, but from the feeling of it he knew that it wasn't.
Hinata appeared before the taller woman and shoved her palm into the Charmanda's jaw, spinning Hinata then elbowed her in the stomach causing the Pokegirl to elicit a gasp. Hinata finished by thrusting her other palm into her abdomen.
Sabuki went flying into a tree, her feet grinding against the grass as her back solidly connected with the rough bark of the tree. Hinata crouched before she disappeared and suddenly Sabuki cried out in pain, her stomach showing an indent like someone was pinning her to the tree, even if nothing was there.
Hinata's appearance slowly came into sight, first she was transparent and then she was solid. Putting her hands on the Pokegirl's chest Hinata pushed out her chakra.
Sabuki screamed, blood spraying from her mouth.
Naruto stood there in shock, watching silently as Hinata performed attacks he had never seen before.
"Sabuki use Flamethrower!" Tyler ordered.
Naruto watched idly by in confusion at the guy's command, he looked back to Sabuki.
Said Pokegirl grunted before opening her mouth.
Naruto looked on in shock, seeing the Charmanda perform a Katon technique without the need of hand seals?
Hinata's eyes widened before jumping back, fire catching her right arm aflame. That fire wasn't normal; it was a lot hotter than the Ryuuka (Dragon Breath) Jutsu
To be able to use a fire Jutsu without the use of hand seals was a very useful asset, how the hell did she do that? Naruto watched as Hinata stared at her arm as she winced in pain, but she said nothing.
Her arm burned worse than she believed, standing there she watched as her black chakra reacted to the sudden pain in her arm, and the fire that was burning away her skin.
The dark energy swirled around her wound and steam arose, astonishingly she began to feel the stinging recede before the black chakra vanished, her arm being healed in a matter of seconds. Hinata stared at her arm almost as if realizing that it was the first time she had an arm, staring at the unwounded smooth flesh with no traces of damage left she remained silent, Naruto and her dumbfounded.
Hinata flexed.
"Damn it, she's able to heal herself!" Sabuki warned Tyler, Tyler looking in shock.
"Is she some sort of physic Pokegirl?"
Naruto glanced to the pair, what the hell were they going on about, over and over they kept saying Pokegirl Pokegirl what the hell was a Pokegirl, at first it sounded like he had said freaky girl just what the hell were they talking about?
Hinata turned back around and charged, this time a smirk on her face. She blurred out of vision.
Tyler's eyes widened before yelling, "Sabuki use Flamethrower again!" The Charmanda opened her mouth preparing to blow fire.
Hinata was before her, her hand lashing out to grab a hold in between her mouth, Hinata's fingers dug into the junction in the back of her jaw making her mouth stay open but halting her attack, Hinata grinned before lifting her up off the ground.
Hinata was able to lift the girl up with the arm that was burned severely only moments ago, Naruto was speechless, Hinata curled her other fist and with one swift move the Hyuuga punched the reptilian girl deep in the stomach.
All air that the Charmanda had was completely lost in the next second, her lungs becoming desperate for air; she struggled to breathe.
Tyler stepped forward.
"Sabuki use Tailwhip!" Suddenly Sabuki's tail began to glow; lashing out she smacked Hinata across the face.
Hinata was sent tumbling across the grass. Falling back onto her feet Hinata coughed holding her jaw in pain, she quickly tried to recover. The Charmanda turned around to look at Hinata with a fierce look in her eyes, she rushed at her.
"Quick Sabuki use Fury swipe quick!"
Her hands blurred, lashing out with her long nails Naruto began to see claw marks begin to seethe into Hinata's skin all over her body, blood spurted into the air as Sabuki's hands continued to blur and Hinata's body became more and more bloody, what was left of Naruto's black shirt she had on ripped away, Naruto stepped forward in worry.
"Hinata!"
"Excellent Sabuki! Now use Scratch attack and then finish with a Fire spin!"
Her right hand begn glowing white before the Charmanda slashed Hinata's chest, five long gashes engraved itself on her chest, the rest of her shirt was gone showing her breasts, the scratches going from her left shoulder down to the right side of her waist.
Then the grass around Sabuki began to burn black, fire surrounded her person like a miniature Hyuuga Kaiten. Spinning she crashed into Hinata, sizzling filled Naruto's ears as parts of Hinata's body wrinkled from the intense heat Sabuki emitted.
Hinata fell back, blood splashing onto the grass, in the night looking as if it were black.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, anger building up, "Hinata!" looking to the Charmanda he created his signature seal.
"Hinata are you okay?!" Naruto stepped forward, Hinata remained standing, bloody, burned and battered but she remained still, her head sideways and her hair covered her eyes but she was standing nonetheless. Hinata raised her head, her smirk replaced with a frown.
Sabuki came to a stop, a smile on her face, "Had enough?"
Hinata slowly looked up and stared at Sabuki as if she were disappointed, the look in her eyes asking if that was the best she could do.
Sabuki blinked.
Steam arose from her body, the large gashes in her chest slowly knitting together, the burn marks unwrinkled becoming smooth once more and the other scratch marks across her body began to disappear, the bleeding slowly ceased.
Hinata raised a brow as she looked at arms then flexed her right hand.
Naruto's seal faltered.
"Grrgh? What's happening?" He muttered to himself.
Little bits of water began to flow around her hand suddenly from thin air, swirling as if it had a mind of its own soon what was a little droplet grew larger, water seeming to have appeared out of nowhere. Swirling around her body Hinata pointed toward Sabuki.
The water went forward, suddenly it doubled in size becoming bigger than Sabuki herself, Tyler's eyes widened, "Sabuki Fire spin!"
It had been too late, crashing into Sabuki she gave a surprised gasp before steam came off like she had been on fire, the fire on her tail no longer as big as it had been shrinking to where it seemed like it was about to go out.
Hinata raised a brow, "Weak against water?" she whispered to herself.
A little blast of controlled water could weaken the weird reptilian girl so easily huh? She had only guessed it because all the attacks that she performed were either Taijutsu or Katon related attacks, no wind, no earth so naturally she thought it necessary to test.
Walking forward Hinata reached down and grabbed Sabuki by the neck forcing her to become conscious again, her eyes widened in shock and even though she was taller than Hinata, her feet dangled.
"Hinata, that's enough!" Naruto yelled Hinata ignored him, a smirk on her face.
Pulling her fist back she exerted her strange chakra to where it was visible, black chakra covering her fist before launching it deep into the Charmanda's stomach.
Sabuki cried out in pain, blood leaked down the sides of her mouth, her stomach made a weird creaking sound before stopping.
"Hinata!"
This time it seemed Hinata came to her senses as her eyes widened and she dropped Sabuki. Tyler fearing for his Pokegirl's condition pulled out a weird sphere like device, calling something Naruto didn't care to listen to.
Hinata's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she passed out, falling into Naruto's arms who was immediately by her side.
Naruto looked over and watched as Sabuki suddenly materialized into a light of red and seemed to get sucked up into the ball Tyler was holding. Naruto turned to stare at Tyler as Tyler stared at him.
"Who the hell are you guys?" They both yelled.
Naruto closed the distance between them within mere seconds catching Tyler by surprised, Naruto pinning him against a tree, even though he was 17 Naruto was many times stronger than him. After traveling south for days and learning how dangerous those things were, he was near his edge.
"Who are you? What the hell is a pokegirl you guys keep talking about? And what the hell was she. It... Whatever she is!"
Tyler grabbed the wrist of the hand wrapped around his throat that pinned him to the tree. How the hell was this little kid so strong? Unless he was one of those tamers who trained with their Pokegirls, was his mother a fighting Pokegirl?
Pokegirls were common knowledge, why were they acting so weird like they never even heard the word? Not to mention the nearest town was just over the mountain eastward so why were they so ragged up?
What was wrong with them?
Putting up his hands in surrender he coughed, "Calm down kid..."
"Why should I!"
"I can explain." He grunted.
Naruto glared at him for a few long seconds, "... Make it quick."
"Right."
They stood there in silence, Naruto quickly losing his patience, "Well?"
"Your... hand." he whispered motioning to the thing cutting off his air supply, Naruto actually seemed a little bit embarrassed as he scratched his head with his other hand.
"Oh." he answered simply before letting go.
Tyler sucked in a large breath of air before rubbing his throat.
"Damn kid that's some grip you got."
Naruto crossed his arms and glared at the taller teen.
Tyler nodded, "Ya mind if I could take a seat?" He laughed hoarsely, Naruto blinked before turning back to the fire him and Hinata sat at, Hinata's body lay out in the open with her shirt no longer in existence and her breasts on display for everyone to see.
Naruto blushed.
"Go have a seat." he motioned, shooing him away.
Quickly Naruto hurried to Hinata's side again, picking her up he lay her down near the fire, "Damn it." Naruto muttered, looking around he looked down to his shorts, at least knee length.
Tyler watched Naruto proceed to ripped away half of his shorts and tie the cloth together from each leg and wrap Hinata's chest with it. Tyler raised a brow, not that he had clothes to spare, he just found it odd.
Naruto shook his perverted thoughts away.
This was serious he reminded, attending to her chest he tried to keep any perverted thoughts out of his mind.
Naruto narrowed his eyes; she didn't have a scratch on her, unscathed... how?
What the hell had just happened? One moment they were having a peaceful conversation and the next she actually cursed worse than just 'damn it' and displayed power he had never even seen before. Control of the water element without the use of hand seals, better chakra control, and destructive chakra that reminded him of someone else's.
He'd need to ask her about that when she woke up, her attitude had changed like no one's business, doing things he didn't think she had the stomach to do. Was that how she defeated Tayuya?
He'd find out later, right now he had to find out many other things, one of it involving how the fuck Sabuki turned to red light and disappeared, not to mention they kept spouting the word Pokegirl, and what the hell was that weird thing they tried to scan her with?
"Hey why don't you just put her in a pokeball?"
"A what?" Naruto looked at him annoyed, frustrated and confused.
Tyler tilted his head, "A pokeball, ya know... the thing that you keep them in?" Tyler pulled out his own to show him what he was talking about.
Naruto stared some more, "... What?"
Tyler actually had the audacity to look at him as if he were crazy, "Come on man everyone knows what a Pokeball is!"
"Then it's pretty damn weird that I don't know!" Naruto shouted back anger beginning to surface defensively.
Tyler recoiled, "You don't know? What about a Pokegirl?"
Naruto frowned, "You keep saying that, I have no Idea what the hell you're talking about!" Naruto complained.
Tyler was silent.
The ragged clothes, lack of knowledge, easy to anger, confused. When you thought about it with the life of a tamer, this was pretty common and wasn't that surprising.
Tyler nodded, "Did you get amnesia?" He asked, and even though it was a question, he was acting as if that were already the case.
Naruto frowned at him.
Tyler scratched his head, "Yeah... I think I'm gonna have to start from the beginning." he said more to himself than anything else.
Naruto continued to look at him, his brows rising in confusion.
"All right... listen up kid because this is basic 101 stuff to pretty much everyone else."
When he had first came here he didn't know a thing about this place, not even knowing what dangers were out here and how he would do against those dangers, but now that he was getting a front row lesson of what was making his life hell these past few days, he could say that he was more prepared now then he was three hours ago.
"You understand?" Tyler asked toying with a stray stick next to him and involving the fire into the equation.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as if to remember and understand all that he was told, "So... Sabuke-"
"Sukebe."
"Sukebe somehow created Pokegirls...then he waged war. And over the years female humans went near extinction... you found a weakness in Pokegirls and turned them against Sukebe... Then later on some Typhonna-something super Pokegirl put the world to shit then fell asleep... and Tamers are Pokegirl catchers and are basically Pokegirl police." Naruto spoke slowly to summarize it.
Tyler slowly nodded, "Yeah pretty much, not how I would have said it, but yeah that covers it." he replied with a smile.
Naruto remained silent for a moment to look into the fire, "... That makes so much more sense than what I had." Naruto muttered.
"Huh?"
"I said I think I'm starting to remember." He pretended to repeat.
"So you remember?" he leaned forward in interest.
Naruto froze, "It's coming slowly..."
"Can you remember how you got amnesia?" He asked curiously.
"Well... me and Hinata were out... hunting for Pokegirls then there was a flash of white and we woke up with ragged clothes and couldn't remember anything." He explained knowing that there was just a bit of truth to what he said, Tyler rubbed his chin.
"White flash huh? Sounds like a solar beam to me, but I'm no specialist or anything." he muttered concluding that some stray Pokegirl caught them off guard with a Solar beam, whatever the fuck he was spouting.
Naruto's jaw had fallen; he continued to stare at the fire in disbelief.
Pokegirls? Developed experimented creatures created by some whackjob that nobody believed he was as smart as he claimed, trying to take over the world and the whole world pretty much ripping apart before things finally settled down.
Sounded made up if you asked him, but then again who was he to call him a liar? He had a Pokegirl to prove it, one that could talk and explain it to him as well which only heightened Tyler's chances of being right, not to mention all the Pokegirls him and Hinata had come across over these two weeks, there was hardly anything that led him to deny this information.
If any of this was true, then he wasn't just in another continent, he was in another world!
A Tamer?
Someone that was able to travel without being questioned and able to do whatever the hell he wanted as long as it kept within the law. Catching and taming Pokegirls before traveling some more to keep the population of those creatures from expanding and unknowingly keeping the peace and making sure they had a world to live on.
Sounded like his cup of tea if he had been born in this world, but from what he experienced with bunny he wasn't so sure...
"Hey Tyler, how do you catch a Pokegirl?"
Tyler sat up and looked at him. Smiling, he chuckled before pulling out his Pokeball.
"Wanna learn how to expand your collection huh? What you do is use one of the Pokegirls that you got and attack a feral one like I told you earlier. By weakening it to where it can't fight no more you throw the ball at her, and then she's yours, but you got to make sure she has almost no energy left or else she'll break out. Anyway once she's yours she'll be obedient, but in order to make a bond between Tamer and Pokegirl you need to release her and tame her immediately after catching her." He explained making the small thumb sized ball larger than his hand with a press of a button.
Naruto tried to absorb all that he was told. Feral, a pokegirl that was wild and untamed or hasn't been tamed for over a month, at least that was the summary.
"Sounds easy enough." He shrugged.
"Action is a different story." Tyler replied.
"Right." It always was, he knew that a long time ago. Although there was still just a small piece that was just missing from this whole equation.
"How do you tame a Pokegirl?" He wondered. Genuine curiosity had never been hated more than at that moment. Tyler grinned, something that made Naruto a little pissed on the inside that was attached to the name Hinata.
"You just have sex."
... Simple, clear and easy to understand with no hint of shame or embarrassment.
Naruto paused, then slowly raised a brow in consideration and disbelief... Sex. Naruto slowly blinked.
Tame meant Sex?
Naruto's face recoiled in disgust, "Gross you guys actually have sex with those things?!"
Tyler sat up, "What are you talking about?" he demanded now somewhat offended.
Naruto shivered, "I saw one of those things with six arms man!"
"To keep them from killing us!" he yelled in defense, "And don't call them things, they have feelings you know!"
Naruto became quiet, trying to wrap his head around around something so... Odd.
The great weakness that turned the tide of the Sukebe war with the strength of the all mighty pokegirls was sex, sacred untouched intimacy that he never experienced with a woman. Naruto's face began to burn, so...
Naruto slowly looked at Tyler who had his arms crossed.
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "So the main objective is to have sex with her?"
"Get used to it, it's not as bad as you think."
"... How-..." he stopped himself, then changed topic, "-Do you have?" Naruto asked unsurely.
Tyler glanced at him, "I have seven Pokegirls."
Naruto's eyes widened, his first instinct was to call him out, a freaking pervert... But then, this world wasn't like that.
Naruto's anxiety died and slowly he relaxed, albeit nervously, "Ah... So-um- do you carry them all with you?"
Tyler shook his head.
"Nah, you're only allowed to carry about five to six at the most with you, the moment you catch you're seventh one it'll be transported to your hometown in your professors lab." Tyler explained, so that was how it worked. Professor, the one who would give you your starting pokegirl at the age you hit 15 or 16, the one that takes care of your Pokegirls if you exceed the limit.
This was starting to give him a headache.
"Hey."
Naruto glanced over, "Huh?"
"I'm sorry for the way things went down, I didn't mean for it to escalate like that- heh- you gotta watch out for Fire types because they are pretty hard to control." He apologized, then scratched his cheek, "I didn't know you had amnesia either, sorry again."
Naruto blinked, "Oh… it's cool." He waved off with a forced chuckle.
Tyler sat up and leaned forward, "So since you won't accept money, how bout I trade my... Jaguar for your Hyuuga? Both are good in fighting so it seems fair right?" Tyler negotiated.
Wait... huh?
Naruto stayed silent slowly piecing things together.
A Tamer can capture a pokegirl but that wasn't the only way to obtain a Pokegirl. You can either make a trade with another Tamer, buy one, or battle for one.
Wait... Battle for one... Battle?!
- "We get that pokegirl!" -
So that's what he meant, he didn't think Hinata was a whore or a piece of property that could be won or bought, he thought she was a Pokegirl... Naruto tightened his fist, that made him even angrier at what he was obviously planning on doing, but he hid his discomfort.
It all made sense now. He was going to have to explain this to Hinata when she woke up.
Still, this whole time he was just challenging him to common duel with common wagers, for their world at least, and they had just immediately jumped to conclusions and without thinking it had led to a pokeball battle trade that whoever won would get the other's Pokegirl, perhaps Tyler thought that since he was amnesiac he wouldn't notice that he didn't give him his...Charmanda.
He didn't want it-err- her, he was mulling over what to do about Hinata being thought of as a Pokegirl.
If he told him she was a full blooded human she'd probably be locked up and experimented, cared for, and bred with the strongest and noble males to make more pure woman, something crazy like that. He didn't know how it worked around here with full-blooded women, but he wasn't willing to chance something like that.
The moment him and Hinata were on their own again, perhaps she could henge herself to not be mistaken for a Pokegirl.
"My Pokegirl's not for sale." Naruto answered, Tyler nodded.
"Oh well, if I had her I wouldn't want to give her up either, where did you find her anyway?"
Naruto thought it over.
"She came to me." Naruto answered, Tyler sat back and crossed his arms in contemplation.
"I see." Tyler had believed him. Naruto let out a sigh, he had come close to exposing her and having her being hunted down or something.
"Hey Tyler?"
"Yo."
"Where's the nearest town?"
Tyler pointed eastward, "Head that way over the mountain and ten miles down the path and you should be there, I'm guessing it'd be a four day hike on foot."
Naruto nodded, in which case meant over half a day of running for them.
Now that he knew where a town was he was done here. Whether anyone else thought different or not they needed clothes, not to mention a shower would be nice, and maybe food that wasn't too sour or too sweet.
"So how often do you tame her?"
"… What?" Naruto croaked.
"You know, sex." He laughed, "Come on don't be shy."
Naruto suddenly began coughing. 'Forgive me Hinata!'
"Once every... month?" Naruto squeaked out trying to cease his coughing fit, Tyler nodded.
"Eh? Why, if I had a Pokegirl like her I'd be bangi-"
"I'm gonna go to bed!" Naruto interrupted, he turned over, away from the teen's pervy eyes.
Tyler suddenly paused at the interruption, then looked at him in confusion, "Uh... okay." he mumbled, scratching the back of his head as he did.
Laying down facing away from Tyler Naruto waited until he had lain down as well. The conversation was already awkward as it was even if Tyler didn't seem at all embarrassed, but then again pretty much every Tamer did just what Tyler did, but the thought of Hinata and doing that wasn't something he wanted to think about, Hinata would kill him.
Naruto's excitement and heartbeat slowed.
That's right Hinata was still unconscious. He needed to explain everything to her as soon as possible, if she woke up and saw Tyler there who knows what she'd do to him and he didn't want to find out either.
Just where did she learn those abilities? What was with all the chakra? There were some things Hinata had to tell him as well, like why she had been keeping it a secret, and also why it felt so similar to Sasuke's and his.
Waiting until Tyler had gone to sleep he sneaked over to Hinata. Shaking her a bit, and not too nicely as he did Hinata's eyes opened, he covered her mouth and put a finger to his telling her to be quiet.
"Hinata there's so much I need to tell you."
It was too dangerous to stay around, Tyler and his companion were suspicious enough as it was, and Naruto as well as she didn't want Tyler figuring out that they weren't as they first appeared.
At the break of daylight they packed any type of food they could gather from their surroundings, and left.
Running through the trees Hinata tried to soak up all that she had been told, feeling a little guilty as she ran through the trees. During their encounter with Tyler and his... Anthro, she had just jumped to the worst conclusion and got angry, and yet it was all a misunderstanding... at least, from what Naruto had briefly mentioned to her. While she still felt irked, Naruto knew something that seemed to dwell the anger that he had.
So reluctantly, she whispered an apology to him while he slept. Anyway, She had to focus on the main subject at hand, to focus on getting back home.
Although there was still some things that confused her, Naruto and her were going to discuss it at the closest hotel when they reached the city. She didn't know what but when he told her where they'd find a city, he seemed to be leaving something out, not to mention he stuttered, and he was blushing.
He told her he'd tell her when they snuck into the hotel.
Neither of them spoke a word as they moved silently at speeds five times the speed of a regular human, at this rate it would only take a day at most to get there, or maybe if they were lucky it would be night so they wouldn't be as visible to the people.
She was extremely sorry for hurting that reptile girl, she had been so mad that she could hardly see straight almost as if something was fueling the fire. She had even said something that she thought she'd never say in her life, she had cursed for the very first time.
If she was still the girl back in the academy years, she was certain she would have just squeaked and fainted.
Naruto had asked her what that chakra was, and to be honest she had no... Damn clue.
It was the first time she had ever felt so alive, so powerful and she had no idea why. Whatever that chakra was it was almost like when she saw Naruto's chakra, it felt... good. Exhilarating, cursing gave her some sort of shock in her nerves, something that made her jump.
Like touching an electrified metal door knob, you felt it and it hurt but you have the little voice in the back of your head saying what it would feel like the second time, or the fifth.
Cursing was like opening a door, she wasn't much of a... curserer... But there was something about it, her mind said no, that it wasn't proper and that it was bad, that Naruto would be disappointed in her, but that little voice, and her instincts wanted it.
What was it like to curse?
"The fuck you just say!"
That was what Naruto had yelled.
... Fuck.
Yeah. The feeling was as good as what it meant, and coming from Naruto's mouth it made her feel hot all over again, something inside her was screaming, something that wanted her to release her inner instincts, something that said "Fuck everything else." and just do what she felt like.
Naruto twitched; Kyuubi's chakra flickered in his gut.
