"Master are you sure we should be wasting time based on assumptions?" Lexa asked skeptically

The sentry came back from the booth, a small black tape in between her fingers.

Dan felt himself grin at seeing the tape, and swiftly he took it from the woman, "Well, it seems that we won't have to." The detective replied.

"Sir?" Hypna inquired.

- "Well it looks like someone~!" he sang as he slammed the door, the man hand-cuffed at the opposite end of the table jumped, "-Is gonna help me." The interrogator finished with a humorous smile.

He walked over with nothing but his overwhelming aura of intimidation, the man hand-cuffed to the back of his seat merely watched as the detective sat down in the opposite chair with a lazy sigh, "Ah, the esteemed Professor Kenzel, man with the reputation that could make little researcher boys and researcher girls wish to be just like you growing up."

Kenzel looked at him.

With a lazy wave he introduced himself, "Honestly it's an honor. I'm detective Dan Hudou."

"How many times do I have to tell you guys, everything I know is already on the damn tape!" He interrupted.

Dan could understand his aggravation; investigations to interrogations must've been hell on even the professor's mind.

Dan chuckled, to see the high and mighty Kenzel being struck down to another criminal, "Oh I know, in fact what I need has absolutely nothing to do with your occupation as a thief, scientist and murderer working for one of the most dangerous criminal organizations." He replied nonchalantly.

Kenzel's face turned into pathetic curiosity, "What do you want detective?" Almost afraid to ask, something about this guy just wasn't right.

Dan smiled non-threateningly, "You see Kenny, I was given this case to investigate. Mountain collapsed, bunch of chaos and two murderers are on the loose for all I know; incidentally, the same two murderers who busted your ass. Why are they murderers? Well because they seemed to have enough skill to trump one of your Trauma squads, which is pretty damn impressive in itself. Now I've done my best to scrounge up the bits of evidence about these two guys, but there's really only a couple of people in the world who know what these two look like, do you happen to know who one of those lucky people are~?"

The look on Kenzel's face told the detective he didn't need to explain, reaching into his coat pocket he pulled two files that he and his Pokégirls filed themselves about the two people, "Now I've listened to the tape and what I know is probably only the sugar coating of what you know about them. Unfortunately I'm on a tight schedule, wife and kid you know, so I'm gonna need you to cut to the chase and explain in detail, what these two looked like while they kicked your ass, go." He finished, extracting a pen from his pocket he clicked the top.

Kenzel's eyes widened, suddenly the aura flowing from the detective jumped to a completely higher level, unknowingly to Kenzel, Dan had his Pokégirls to thank who stood right outside the door for that exact aura that had Kenzel quaking in his jumpsuit.

Kenzel swallowed as he was quick to cooperate, the detective writing as the words left the broken man. -

Dan felt himself grin at the stroke of luck that fell into his hands, one of the security cameras at the border of Edo and Opal managed to match the appearances Dan had given the officer, along with their names.

He turned to his harem with a predatory grin. Thanks to that he'll be able to bring up cashes of useful data on the two and more, "We've got a lead girls."

"Ah! Damn it!"

Kiya's hand slipped as Naruto's leg uncontrollably kicked out in pain.

"Kiya, keep ahold of his leg, I'm almost done." Hinata muttered, trying to rewrap his leg yet again, "Naruto, hold still."

Naruto threw his head back, "Rrgh! Forgive me Hinata." He grunted apologetically.

Tashira growled to herself, a hand on her forehead in agitation, this was the third time today that they had to stop because of the idiot, "Tch. Hinata did warn you, it's your own fault for being so careless."

Blue watery eyes stared at her, "You're so cruel Tashira-chan. I didn't have a choice; our cover would've been blown if I didn't." Naruto ground out painfully, struggling to keep his leg from twitching.

Yue meowed in concern, "But Hinata specifically said for you to not overuse your Jutsu, and to wait a week before even attempting to run, Nya." Yue mumbled worriedly to the blond Tamer.

Myrel raised a brow, 'Jutsu? So that's what it's called. His shape shifting ability.' She had her arms crossed and watched as Hinata proceeded to re-wrap Naruto in bandages that were already being bled through.

She felt her cheeks heat up and her muscles tense, if he had just balled her up then he wouldn't be hurting like this.

Hinata's brows creased in concern, the ointment's effect was slowly taking longer and longer to go in effect. The wounds which had been bleeding and open last night had only barely been healed at the start of the day, but the new skin that had healed over the wounds were pink, and very sensitive; excessively using jutsu and running around to evade those police cost him.

His sore and weak muscles had been torn open, and the sensitive skin had ripped apart showing gashes and bleeding; this had been the third time they had to stop due to Naruto's re-opened wounds, not to mention his chakra coils were significantly weaker than before, from what her Byakugan could see.

Hinata understood that he had to do what was necessary to preserve their secret, but he could've done it in a less noticeable way and avoided his re-injury, regenerative shots only healed so much and they weren't cheap.

Kitsuto crossed his arms, watching for a few moments as Hinata patched him back up, then looked away and out to the sun, "It'll be dark in a few hours. I think it'd be best if one of you carry him from now on."

"Sorry about this Hinata-chan." Naruto muttered, this would be the second day in a row she'd be carrying him, but this time he wasn't asleep drooling on her shoulder like yesterday.

Hinata turned her head to Naruto riding on her back, she smiled, "You're not so heavy, and I don't mind carrying you until we get there." She replied, Naruto grinned at the subtle message; he really was beginning to be a chore on them.

On the bright side, Naruto noticed that beneath his palms he could really feel Hinata's shoulder muscles tensing and relaxing with each step she took, he could feel the strength she harbored in her toned body, and yet her skin was so soft and smooth. Firm, yet delicate all the same.

Hinata blinked, turning around to see Naruto's curious, but concentrated expression, almost as if he was deciphering a heavily coded message, "Um, Naruto?... Why are you massaging my shoulders?"

His eyebrows creased, "I just noticed... You have a very toned physique." Experimentally he proceeded to feel the muscles beneath his fingers tense and relax repeatedly.

Hinata's face reddened, and everyone stopped and stared, 'Why now is he noticing?' or was it that Naruto was actually looking at her body. Not like before where he grazed over her figure, and became aroused, but actually looking at her.

Tashira and Kiya glanced at one another, Yue's large feline eyes watched as Naruto poked at her defined neck and shoulders, 'Weird.'

Kitsuto's eyes flicked between his "brother" and the girl from his world. Then snickered before continuing his walk, and soon everyone else resumed as well, Tashira's confused frown discarded, she watched Hinata giggle as Naruto tickled her neck.

She huffed, "Hinata, you should let me carry him, his fat head's going to send both of you to the ground." Tashira muttered.

"I don't want you to be doing everything Tashira, you're helping lots already." Hinata gestured to the three bags Tashira had piled on her shoulders, Tashira's, her's and Naruto's.

Tashira grunted, if it was for Hinata, she'd gladly carry Naruto and everyone else's supplies if it meant that Hinata didn't have to lift a finger; unfortunately her Tamer didn't share her thoughts.

Hinata turned away, that wasn't true, and she just didn't want the feeling of Naruto against her to leave. A curious eye looked back to Naruto looking over to Myrel, 'Now that I think about it... he's taller than I remember.'

"Ne, Myrel. I'm curious, what do you like in a Tamer?" Naruto pestered, more and more in his rambunctious kind of way that had the power to make anyone's resistance eventually crumble, and with Kiya echoing him, it wouldn't be long before Myrel gave way.

Hinata didn't care to listen when Myrel finally gave in and told only bits and pieces of what kind of guy she liked; instead she opted to look at the behind of a slender, yet athletically toned purple feline walking in front of her in spandex clad pants, her tail calmly swinging back in forth.

Hinata tilted her head and watched as the creases in her spandex made a perfect curvature of her butt, with each step Hinata watched Yue's left cheek bounce her tail swing by then her right cheek her tail swing by, and so began a continuous cycle that Hinata found her eyes bouncing with the bounce of the Cheshire's butt.

Her eyes moved over to the Dracass, her butt was more muscular, but also... bigger. Hinata giggled on the inside, Tashira had a big butt that matched perfectly with her muscled thighs, slender waist, and large bust.

Hinata's eyes simulated a basketball of sorts, as she watched the bouncing of Tashira's large butt cheeks behind those tight-fitting gray spandex, then switching over to Yue's petite, tight alluring feline bottom.

Hinata sighed inwardly, 'Now I've become a pervert.' She thought bitterly, half a year ago she wouldn't even think of looking at Naruto's butt, much less a girl. But now she had evolved into a perverted girl with the ability to see through clothes if she pleased.

She didn't most of the time because she liked when there was enough to be left to her imagination. She remembered a time when she first saw Kakashi reading a graphic novel, she had almost passed out when she had used her Byakugan to see what he was reading, but now if she saw a perverted novel now all she would do is raise a brow and shrug.

'This world is either my greatest influence, or my greatest setback.' Hinata thought sadly, but nonetheless her eyes continued to follow Yue's curved posterior, to Tashira's tight bouncing cheeks. When Yue had looked back, and Hinata saw the look of surprise before turning into a seductive feline smirk, Hinata found herself smiling as well.

Hinata's eyes picked up the certain swaying of her hips now that Yue was aware of her master's focus, her tail doing a sort of sensual dance as it occasionally grazed her bottom, or in between her thighs.

Tashira turned to stare at Yue's funny walk, then back to Hinata, "... Pervert." She muttered, her cheeks heating up as she used her hands to try and cover her large posterior.

Hinata giggled, 'And I'm certain that I'm completely bi now. Oh, this goes against everything of the Hyuuga way.' Yue and Hinata shared a laugh.

It wasn't that Tashira minded the attention; it was just that the little silver-haired bastard was looking at them, a prompt growl from her and he just smiled, nodded and continued his talk with Naruto and his group.

Hinata's body tingled and her stomach muscles tightened. She felt her face redden as she looked down to see Naruto's hands having somehow traveled from her waist, to cupping her mounds.

Hinata blushed, but didn't say anything. She saw the slight pervy blush on his cheeks, he laughed and grinned as he continued talking with Myrel, Kiya and Kitsuto as if he wasn't trying to cop a feel.

'Should've expected as much.' Naruto always put his hands on her, every day whether he acted as if it was unintentional or admitting it. It had first started about a month ago, now she was always expecting for him to try and graze her breasts or feel her butt, 'He always picks the most inopportune times.' Still... Naruto has been acting pretty pervy this past month more than usual, without the influence of Kyuubi's chakra.

The Hyuuga turned away; despite how much time she spent around Naruto, she still felt nervous, almost shy around him. Although, where you might never forget something, she did learn new things, such as how to develop her 'mask' so to speak.

In the words Naruto had once said, she only acted tough when she felt the need to, but underneath that, she still had that low self-esteem, still the shy and nervous girl. It wasn't as low as when they first arrived here, in fact her self-esteem raised significantly, but it wasn't completely gone.

Naruto helped tremendously, but maybe that small part of her still existed because she didn't know much about what Naruto actually thought of her. Yeah, they've done it perhaps a few times, and honestly with the way this world operated, Hinata knew that it had only been a matter of when. But they've only been running on the spur of the moment: when their blood was hot, and their other chakra began to affect their hormones.

Other than that, if not for Kyuubi's chakra and her Youki attracting one another; She knew Naruto and her wouldn't be as close as they were now.

Despite the sex, Naruto thought of her as his best friend, one who he could trust not to judge him when his hormones got the best of him, he held no romantic attraction to her, she knew that of course and she had opted to leave it be for now.

But it had been three and a half months since their first session and Naruto's nonchalant behavior about their confused sex-best-friend relationship had admittedly, got her frustrated from time to time.

No dates, no romantic cuddling, no deep emotional boyfriend-girlfriend talks. Nothing was how she imagined it'd be when she talked to him before the finals in the Chuunin Exams. She always figured that maybe, eventually they'd go on a date, then kiss, then cuddling, and finally sex, but now everything was backwards.

First they had sex; then they finally got comfortable enough to kiss; and just recently whenever Naruko was around they would cuddle... A woman shouldn't be tortured like this, that date seemed so far away.

It was sex, sex, sex then back to best of pals; even if the sex was great, it wasn't her everything.

There were times when she just felt like confessing, but what if he didn't like her like that? Sakura still existed after all, and the only reason he did it with her in the first place was because her Youki attracted him.

She was nervous and shy because while Naruto knew the boundaries of their relationship, she didn't, so she constantly held back in worry of going too far, she had to watch what she said, she couldn't just scream 'I love you!' during intimacy, no her body went wild and she knew she could do as she liked and Naruto would just think 'It's her chakra affecting her.'

As for what she wanted to say, she kept that in her head. Every session was of lust, if she tried for even a moment to actually'Make love' instead of 'Fuck', then Naruto would completely freak out, so in a way, even in the bedroom, she was holding back.

They were as open with each other as the limits of best friends could ever be, but she couldn't say whatever she wanted, 'Good morning darling' or, 'Breakfast sweety?' no, no, instead she settled for, 'Nice ass' and 'Let's catch some food.'

This was the problem, because what she wanted to do with Naruto was completely out of the boundaries of a sex-best-friendship.

Hinata bit back a snarl, 'If Sakura was in my place.' She had no doubt Naruto would even need Pokégirls; they were strong and he'd be willing to do all the things Hinata wanted to do.

"Um Hinata?" Hinata snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Yue, the Cheshire staring at her in intense confusion, "Is something wrong? Why are you frowning?"

Hinata smiled, her cheeks heating up, "Nothing's wrong Yue-chan." She looked doubtful, but didn't question it. Pushing a moan back down her throat Hinata silently fumed as Naruto's hands massaged her chest.

Myrel's temper seemed to be getting worse and worse the longer she stayed out of her pokeball, or maybe it was the longer she stayed around Naruto pestering her about what she liked in men.

They had stopped a few miles later on, the day having gone by they made camp and decided to continue their travel tomorrow, Myrel pretty much thanked the Gods for finally getting away from Naruto as soon as she was recalled to her pokeball.

"And you're saying she's the worst Gambler in your world?" Kitsuto asked as he scratched his head, "So... she became the Hokage?" He guessed. Yue waved her tail back and forth curiously, she hadn't yet heard this story, Orochimaru and Jiraiya yes, but this Tsunade sounded really temperamental, leave it to one of her masters to completely change her attitude around.

He grinned proudly, as proudly as one could wrapped in bandages riding on a girl's back, "That's right, I learned the Rasengan and she lost." Naruto finished.

Kitsuto raised his brows, "So, what other kind of techniques do you know?" He had been wondering for a while now, he always seemed so smug when Kitsuto said he could've brought out another trick out from his sleeves in their fight.

'Hm. He may have won, but at least I'm still able to walk.' Kitsuto thought to himself, he may have screwed his body up for a week or two, but Naruto's body seemed to be even more messed up.

In truth, most of Kitsuto's injuries wasn't even Naruto's doing, sure the outside injuries, but internally Kitsuto's carelessness with changing energies had only screwed up his body and control enough to help Naruto win.

Every now and then one of his body parts would give out, as it stopped receiving commands from the brain. His muscles were fine, it was only his nerves that were fried, as well as the ability to control any chakra, magic, or even psychic energy for a while.

Sometimes he couldn't move his hand, or one of his legs would stop moving which would make him stumble before regaining control of himself.

Naruto paused at Kitsuto's question, then deadpanned, "Like I'm gonna tell you everything I know."

The silver-haired teen blanched, "W-why not, come on I'm practically family!"

"Because I don't feel comfortable with someone knowing all that I can do, and my weaknesses." Naruto muttered stubbornly.

"It's Secrecy Kitsuto-kun. It's just how Ninja are." Hinata explained.

Kitsuto crossed his arms and pouted, "Hmph, ninja." He scoffed at the word, always so serious and sneaky it got on his nerves, "Just so you know. We don't have too many ninja here, not too many people are gonna care about what you have to hide or anything." Kitsuto stated.

"And that makes everything better? This world is so screwed up I'm surprised they can even see straight." Naruto bit back.

Kitsuto's eyes flared, "Hey, don't badmouth my Universe! At least we aren't all tight-asses like your ninja world."

Naruto glared, "At least we don't all think with our dicks like this world does."

Tashira, Kiya, and Yue sweatdropped, their heads looking left to Kitsuto and back to Naruto; Kitsuto-Naruto-Kitsuto-Naruto-Kitsu-

"Will you two stop bickering and get back to the matter at hand!" Hinata interrupted, scolding both of the surprised counterparts.

They quieted, then looked away from the other and huffed stubbornly, silence ensued for three minutes.

The older kin frowned, "... Well, I like fox-types." Kitsuto muttered sourly.

"Yeah... *Thud* -Ugh, um... What other Pokégirls do you like?" Naruto mumbled awkwardly, massaging where Hinata elbowed him.

"Strong Pokégirls." He replied.

"Me too, but if they're too stubborn then it's hard to deal with." Naruto stated, glancing to Myrel's pokeball at his waist. Today she didn't wish to come out, it seemed every day she was getting worse and worse, he knew why of course, he just wondered how long before she became...

Kitsuto nodded in agreement, "Every Tamer has to train their Pokégirls, in more ways than one."

Hinata turned to Kitsuto, and Naruto raised a brow, "What do you mean?"

Kitsuto turned to Naruto, "Well, not everyone who has a Pokégirl has a pokeball to capture them with, so not every Pokégirl is given a quick run-over of the human languages and mannerisms and whatnot. Like royalty, they go out and buy a pet Pokégirl, they train her in what to do and what not to do, and teach her the tongue they speak."

Naruto raised his brows, "So... it's like having a dog that slowly learns how to talk?"

Everyone, but Hinata stared at him in confusion, "Naruto, I don't think dogs exist in this world." Hinata reminded, then how did bunnies exist? Perhaps most animals went extinct? That seemed like the only plausible answer.

"Oh, right. Uh, I understand." Naruto nodded, from the way Kitsuto said it, they were just like Akamaru in a way, just needed to be taught. It was hard for Naruto to consider, because Kiya, Yue and Tashira acted just like humans, if not for a few animalistic characteristics.

Then again now that he thought about it, stray dogs being taken in were often hard to housebreak and teach because they were stubborn, with that in mind he could see Myrel fitting that position perfectly.

So Pokégirls were humans and animals mixed together? Or animals being taught how to be human?

Naruto frowned, but if he started to think of Pokégirls as animals that needed to be taught, then would that not make him any better than those scumbag Tamers who treat their harem like property and trading cards? Just give a Pokégirl to the pound if you didn't want her?

Naruto couldn't come to terms with it, but he could understand why people thought that way. If a family had a Pokégirl pet but didn't teach her or discipline her she would probably end up scratching up the couch and chasing the messenger.

Naruto held back a smile at the mental image. However, the reality was that if Hinata and him were born in this world... then they would most likely be treating Pokégirls like property as well. Naruto shook his head, he didn't like being a Pokégirls master, or to treat her any lower than a human, but if the people here didn't then a lot of carnivorous Pokégirls would end up being executed for eating humans.

The whole ordeal hurt his brain, and he felt wrong for not being able to find a solution to it.

Kitsuto put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, Naruto turned to see Kitsuto's sad smile, "I know it sounds harsh, but if we don't teach them then the world would be chaos. Our world is pretty weird isn't it? But whether some like it or not, this was the best we could come up with for equality and peace. Let me just say this, is there much of a difference compared to how father's and Pokéwoman discipline and raise children?"

Naruto was silent, not knowing what to say.

Kitsuto smiled genuinely, "Believe it or not most Pokégirls are grateful for having a master who cares about her education and well-being; for giving her the freedom to think. Not like an animal, but like a human. In reality when this law was made, to teach and discipline Pokégirls, it was supposed to be looked at as helping Pokégirls and saving them from their animal tendencies. But some people take that law and mold it into something wrong, believe me brother. Not everyone is heartless to Pokégirls."

Naruto smiled, if he could believe anything, it was that Kitsuto really thought that he was like his family, so maybe Naruto could trust him when he said this system was supposed to be for the best; there were just people who took it in the wrong direction.

Kiba treated Akamaru better than any friend he had.

Naruto smiled, and once he did Kitsuto did as well. Both of them were knocked out of their bonding brother moment by Hinata's giggling, they looked at her in confusion, "You guys are so sweet."

Naruto blinked, and then Kitsuto removed his hand from Naruto's shoulder and scratched the back of his head, both of them blushing even more at seeing Tashira's smirk, Kiya's grin, and Yue's cheeky kitty-eyed smile.

Kitsuto cleared his throat, "Erm, anyway what are you guys trying to do anyway? I mean why all the secrecy and running around for?"

Hinata, and Naruto paused at Kitsuto's question, longer than they needed to before finally they looked to Tashira, Yue and Kiya; looking at their traits, thinking about their behaviors and personalities, and also thinking about everything they had went through so far.

One day, it would come time to leave this... Pokégirl world.

Hinata lowered her head somewhat at the thought, "Well, we're trying to find a way home. We've run across a lead on how to get back to our world, so we're going there to find out."

The three Pokégirls present all lowered their heads.

Kitsuto slowly nodded his head, "How exactly did you come across this 'lead'?"

Hinata turned to Kitsuto, almost confused on her own answer, "I dreamed about a place, hidden deep in the mountains of Edo."

"Wa-wait, wait. Edo? Are you two the guys who destroyed the mountain?" Kitsuto nearly yelled out.

Naruto narrowed in confusion and shared a look with Hinata, "How do you know about that?"

"That was you guys? Jeez, that's all over League News!" Kitsuto yelled out in shock pointing a finger at them, the Pokégirls heads perked up, "It was all over the news a few months ago that a mountain had collapsed in Edo killing hundreds of Pokegirls, they said remnants of one Sukebe's bases were found, along with four or five Trauma Team bodies that were discovered!"

"What? Are you saying that the whole world knows about that?" Naruto panicked.

Kitsuto shook his head, "Never mind that. You guys are some of the most wanted people on the planet."

"WHAT?" everyone yelled

Kiya's fur stood on end, "How is that possible, we didn't even do anything. Why are we wanted?"

Tashira crossed her arms as they all stopped walking, "I think you owe us an explanation in what the hell you're talking about?"

The group all stared at Kitsuto waiting for an explanation.

Kitsuto rubbed the top of his head in a slight headache, "Uh- well... When police investigated the disaster they found dead Trauma forces within the debris of the mountain. News reporters released what detectives and Pokégirls found out so far: that two skilled criminals had found one of Sukebe's bases in search for something, the people say it was forbidden tech, like a weapon. From the autopsies, the reporters say that the two criminals killed the Trauma forces that had been in pursuit of them.

"People are saying the weapon was what destroyed the mountain. A few weeks' later police find out that the respected Professor Kenzel was in fact a Trauma agent as well. They found him tied up, and they even played the recording of the two mysterious people interrogating Kenzel on the news. Edo police filed you two as an unknown threat, aided with forbidden tech and unknown forces and resources!" Kitsuto finished, "Detectives are all over the job, but they don't know what you two look like."

"But Kenzel does." Hinata mumbled, that meant trouble.

Kitsuto's jaw dropped, "I-it's true! You two are the ones who killed a Trauma squad and exposed Professor Kenzel?"

Naruto held up his hands, letting himself off Hinata's back, "Now hold on, it's not what you think! We just didn't want any unneeded publicity, we aren't killers or criminals!"

Kitsuto stared at him, and then at all of them, this was what Edo was buzzed about, "What have you guys done anyway?" These were the ones who destroyed the mountain? The recording of Kenzel, and even rumors of a Legendary being on their tail.

Hinata stepped forward trying to calm his anxiety, "It's all a misunderstanding-"

*Thump*

Yue watched Kitsuto's unconscious body hit the ground, the Cheshire's fist poised as she caught him off guard from behind. Three of them blanched, Yue looked at them, "I wanted to make sure he wouldn't freak out."

Tashira picked Kitsuto up by the back of his shirt, "We should tie him up so he won't run away and tell everyone."

Naruto released an aggravated sigh, "I don't think he would've done that."

Kiya raised a brow, "What makes you so sure?"

"Because if I was in his position I'd feel excited and amazed." Naruto shrugged, Hinata shook her head, "In any case, we should take precautions."

Naruto scratched his cheek, "Yeah well, I'm sure he will understand. He is me after all."

After making sure that Kitsuto was safely secured to a boulder and stripped of his pokeballs and weapons did Hinata figure it was finally okay to wake him up. Naruto took a canteen and poured water on top of Kitsuto's head.

Almost immediately he woke up and sputtered, "Huh? Wher- Wha's going on? I-... Why am I tied up?" Kitsuto asked.

"To keep you from running away." Kiya replied, "You looked like you were about to have a heart attack."

"Running away?" Kitsuto repeated, and then winced, "Ow, who hit me?"

Yue raised her hand, "I'm sorry, you were becoming hysterical."

Kitsuto glared at them, "I was just shocked that's all, it's not every day you meet a wanted criminal across the world... if they ever found out who you guys were anyway."

"But realizing Naruto and Hinata are from a different Universe is completely redundant?" Tashira asked.

"It's... not as surprising. So I got screwed up priorities, world-wide criminals over supernatural occurrences, so what?" Kitsuto muttered, and then turned back to reality.

He looked at Naruto and Hinata in mock hurt, "You guys really thought I would turn you in? After all we've been through?" He whispered heart-wrenchingly.

"For a day." Tashira reminded.

Kitsuto shrugged, "Nonetheless, he's family. Closer than that because we're the same person, and I wouldn't turn in his best friend and Pokégirls either even if there was a reward. I was just really caught off guard that you guys stood up to the Trauma Organization. Besides, I never really liked the law, and rules."

"A very strange trait to have." Hinata muttered.

Kitsuto grinned, "Well? You guys wanna tell me about it... and maybe release me in the process?"

Naruto grinned back, but Tashira put a hand on his shoulder, "You've only known him for a day." She stressed.

Naruto thought about it, "Well, I do have his swords... It's good enough for me."

*Thunk!* "Gah!" Naruto rubbed the pain on top of his head, the first thing Kitsuto did after being let go, "Dammit! What was that for, I'm the only one on your side?" he glared.

Kitsuto crossed his arms, "I don't really like hitting Pokégirls unless feral, and I don't like hitting females altogether. Ergo, your fault."

"Why you-"

"Naruto." Hinata stopped, this wasn't the time, with ferals running around, arguing wouldn't solve anything. Naruto bit back a retort, and resigned to the matter at hand, He looked to the sun "Your right. It'll be dark in a few hours; we should find a place to rest first before continuing this explanation."

Hinata nodded, "There's a cave not too far from here, we can continue our discussion there... although, there is a pair of ground types."

"Tch. I'll kick them out." Tashira stated, smashing a fist into her other hand.

They walked in a gorge, the only pathway being forward and backward, the cliffs on their sides went up at least six stories, not too hard to scale, but they had settled to walking the rocky path.

Turning away she looked out to the mountains in the distance around her, rocks and an occasional tree in this rocky terrain. They had been walking since four in the morning, it was now six and the sun was bound to come up soon, the night sky was beginning to turn light blue.

*Click-clack*

Yue's ears laid flat against her head, only to be reassured by Hinata's fingers scratching the top of her head.

Hinata frowned, 'There are seven... eight? More seem to be coming.' ever since they first entered this gorge they had been followed by feral Pokégirls, keeping an eye on them, but for what, she still couldn't decide: food, curious, territorial?

Yue's ear twitched, hearing rocks fall off the cliff and smash against the ground; she looked back up at the top of the cliffs and caught sight of a tail. She flinched at Tashira's hand lying on her shoulder; she looked Yue in the eye.

"Don't worry Yue. They're skittish Dragon-types." Tashira comforted, "They won't come at us while I'm here."

Yue's spiked fur relaxed, "Tashira-chan." She sighed, struggling to ignore the feral dragon Pokégirls watching over them from the cliffs; she hoped that Tashira wasn't just all talk.

"More and more are beginning to come, I wonder why?" Hinata pondered.

"It doesn't matter, they're the weak ones." Tashira muttered, but they were annoying. With how early she had to wake up, the small amount of sleep she had, along with multiple Dragon-types pestering them, put together with Tashira's short temper was not at all good; as each second ticked by she was getting more and more annoyed by their presence.

Kiya felt a mischievous smile slide over her furred features, "Quite a family of ferals we have following us." Kiya began as she stepped closer to the Dracass.

Tashira looked down to the Kitsune smiling ominously at her, the kind she always wore when she messed with her, "What's your point Kiya."

"Well I was thinking, we just have so little Pokégirls in our group." Kiya continued.

The red-eyed Pokégirl frowned at the sneaky girl, "The last things we need are more Dragon types fighting for an Alpha position." She grumbled, not to mention the possibility of having to share her Hinata with another dragon Pokégirl at the same time.

Kiya elbowed the red-eyed Dracass, "But Tashira, don't you think now would be a good time to catch new Pokégirls for our harems? It is our duty to find Pokégirls to strengthen us."

Tashira growled, "We already have two dragon-types traveling with the group, catching any more would only hinder us." Tashira argued.

Kiya grinned, "Technically Myrel is in neither of our harems. And also-"

*Click-clack*

A tick mark appeared on her forehead, "We don't need any more dragon types." She snared, "They're beginning to piss me off." she growled.

Yue and Hinata shared a look.

Kiya waved her off playfully, "Fine, fine. You're right."

'Hm, that's weird.' Kiya raised a brow, 'Naruto and Kitsuto don't seem to be worried.' Maybe they already knew they wouldn't attack, maybe they were too engrossed in their conversation, or perhaps they knew they could take them... scratch that, that they'd protect them since their bodies were rendered useless.

*Click-clack, click-clack, click-clack!*

Tashira's eyes widened, now suddenly much taller, wings and tail sprouting, she opened her jaw wide and fired a Hyper Beam. A large yellow beam launched forth from her mouth and blasted away a large chunk of the cliffs.

The entire pathway lighted up, and her beamed roared with intensity. Screeching echoed through the mountains as ferals scurried away in fear. Debris fell and filled the pathway from where they had come up a story high, not like it'd hinder them, but sooner or later travelers were bound to report the blocked pathway.

Soon the yellow-light faded.

*Haa... Haah* Tashira took ragged breaths, reverted back to her human form, and then turned back to the group, at least three of them having their eyes wide and jaw dropped.

.

.

.

"They won't bother us anymore." She stated quietly, now feeling awkward that she had let her temper get the best of her.

"Um... thank you." Kitsuto stuttered in shock, observing the destruction she made in a fit of anger with one blow.

Naruto stared, heaved a heavy sigh and palmed his face, "Man, come on Tashira, I was gonna catch one of them."

Tashira held back her deep breathing and glared at the blond "In the state you're in, you'd only end up as dinner food; besides you're better off without them." Tashira stated bluntly, and then narrowed her eyes, "In fact you shouldn't even be walking." walking over she swept the blond off his feet and threw him over her shoulder.

"Wha- Oi, put me down Tashira!"

Hinata raised a worried brow, "Tashira. What have I told you about controlling your temper? Have you been doing your breathing exercises?" She asked calmly, in a scolding motherly tone.

Tashira frowned, considering it, "Well... not for a few days." She admitted, but being around other Dragon-types always put her on edge.

They continued to walk, and after half an hour the gorge had finally come to an end, Tashira finally put the blond down.

Kitsuto stood at the exit of the gorge as Naruto caught up to him.

"Whoa, look at that…" Naruto gasped in awe.

There before them lied a lake, a large one that went for at least five miles ahead, on the far side of the Lake Mountains could be seen, and the lake slowly divided and maneuvered around the mountains.

Nonetheless, it wasn't the lake itself that made it so impressive.

Kiya walked to the shore and squatted down, looking at the strange water. Experimentally she stuck her tail into the water, then looked at it, but didn't see any noticeable changes, "Smells like salt." She mumbled, sticking out her tongue she licked the tip of her tail, then her cheeks filled, "Blah! This tastes like blood~" Kiya muttered sourly.

"Why would you taste red water?" Tashira asked as Kiya's tongue hung from her mouth.

"A concentration of salt and iron." Yue observed, "But I don't know why it's red." This lake, it took the beautiful, yet strange color that resembled blood, as if the whole lake was filled with it.

Naruto smiled, "Isn't this supposed to be your world?" Naruto asked.

Kiya stuck her tongue out, "Just because we live here doesn't mean that we know everything, I've never been to this league before." She said defensively.

Yue walked forward and stared at the lake intently, "You have to admit. This lake does have a certain appeal to it."

Hinata smiled, "It is beautiful." She agreed looking at all the elements around her that made up the scenery, "But what could've turned the lake so red?"

Tashira crossed her arms, her eyes also taking a look around. The sun had just begun to rise; the sky was colored peach, mixed in with a reddish pink. The Red Lake sparkled and glistened like a large jewel thanks to the sun shining against its water; it complemented the sky and sun in a perfect serene beauty. It was almost like a polished ruby shining in the sunlight, and admittedly, Tashira felt the small remnants of her anger beginning to fade.

Naruto crossed his arms and nudged Hinata, "So awesome, you don't see stuff like this back in our world."

Hinata looked at him for a moment, perhaps longer than that, before she turned back to the scenery. She had to admit, it was intoxicating, "It is rare even on this world. We got here at the right time, right Naruto-kun?" Her eyes sparkled for a few precious moments.

Naruto blushed, "Yeah, really pretty." He replied.

"It is kind of sad that we can't see the sight even longer." She muttered.

Naruto nodded, and then rubbed the back of his neck, "If you want," Hinata turned to him, "Maybe some time before we leave back to our world. We could come back here, like just me and you and maybe... take in the sight one more time." He proposed, his blush increasing.

She nodded, a small smile began to feature, "We're already here now aren't we Naruto-kun?" She reminded playfully.

Naruto's face backtracked, then pouted, "You know what I meant."

"Perhaps," She subtly flirted, too vague for Naruto pick up. Hinata paused, and then looked him in the eyes, "Like a date?" She asked innocently.

The way the sunlight sparkled in her lavender eyes, Naruto didn't know how it made him feel, but he quickly tried to explain himself, shutting his eyes tight in embarrassment, "No, no, no. It's- Just, well we're on a schedule, and this place is really beautiful. And I kinda thought maybe, you'd want to- um... see it again?"

Hinata giggled, and Naruto blushed in shame further, "You're thoughtful Naruto-kun. I'd like that, seeing this sight with you again, alone." She exaggerated and leaned into him playfully, a small blush polished her cheeks.

Naruto laughed nervously, knowing Hinata was messing with his mind again he smiled genuinely.

He cleared his throat, "Does it have a name?" Naruto asked out loud.

"The Blood Lake," Kitsuto answered, "That's what it's called, the lake got its name because of all the red algae and rust at the bottom. Yue and Kiya were right, there's a high concentration of Salt and Iron around this area."

Yue's ears perked up, "So this place is rich with raw resources...? That'd mean that minerals and evolutions stones would be seeded within and around these mountains." Yue finished as she slowly stood up, her body suddenly harboring a certain glow.

Turning to her Tamer her purple eyes held a very hopeful gleam within them, and she looked directly into Hinata's eyes, Yue's eyes were big and teary, "Master, if at all possible. Could we please find one of each of the available evolution stones here?"

Hinata smiled, placing a hand on the top of Yue's head, "You don't have to be so formal when you're serious Yue-chan, and we'll take as much time as possible to find those evolution stones."

Yue's face couldn't have bloomed any bigger, and with her purple fur shining from the sun, and the red and pinkish background the whole thing only served to make Yue absolutely undeniably stunning, "Thank you Hinata."

Naruto grinned, "It's just as well. This place is rich in Salt, Iron ore and other resources, so there's bound to be mines in the mountains farther on, and with mines there should be a station to bring the materials to, and ships to transport the cargo. If we gather extra evolution stones then we could use it as money to catch a ride to the border."

"That's a great idea Naruto!" Kiya yipped, walking for three days in the sun, and carrying supplies was really patting down her fur in an unflattery way, not to mention her legs ached.

Yue couldn't help it, the happy atmosphere, the emotions, the scenery, and her granted request... Yue gave a very feline grin, and purring could be heard from within her chest.

"Well, then let us go." Naruto grinned; Hinata nodded and spoke without looking, "There are a few evolution stones within the rock wall underneath the lake." Yue's eyes sparkled, she teleported, her clothes fell to the ground and a splash was heard.

Kitsuto blinked, for a cat type to jump into water so willingly.

Naruto spotted a rock pushed out, acting as a perfect dock of sorts, they could continue their journey there, any further along this lake and they'd slowly be turning away from their destination. He turned around and waved to the captain up in his 'control center', "All right, this is good enough!"

Luckily the evolution stones were enough to convince the man to take them, along with the materials he was transporting packed in crates all around the ship.

Stepping off the boat Naruto bowed to the captain, Kitsuto came off next, holding a palm to his mouth and his other hand on his stomach, Hinata was the last to step off with a noticeable angry frown on her face.

"Thank you for taking us this far."

The captain nodded "Good day to you gentlemen then." He acknowledged the two teenage boys, Hinata's brows narrowed further as he and every other man they encountered at the station had acted like she didn't exist, not to mention this guy made them put their pokegirls back in their pokeballs.

Seeing the boat drive off Hinata spat out the bad taste in her mouth, "Finally, glad to be rid of that jerk." Where Naruto and Kitsuto had ridden at the front, she had sat at the back of the ship.

~Eelllk!~ Kitsuto's welled up cheeks slowly deflated as he groaned, "I'm just happy to be back on solid ground~" He sighed.

Naruto adjusted his backpack, turning to Kitsuto, "Well, how far until we reach the border?"

Kitsuto blinked a few times before waving his hand, "Another days travel and we'll be there." The day's journey wouldn't be today, they had spent all day riding on the ship, and in a couple hours the sun was bound to be gone by then, "We should find a place to make camp first, continue tomorrow." His weary voice slowly returning to normal.

Naruto pouted, wanting to test his ability to walk for hours right now. He supposed it was for the best.

Pulling Kiya's pokeball he tossed it, Hinata doing the same to Tashira and Yue's. Naruto paused for a moment, looking at Myrel's ball.

She hadn't been out for two days now, getting her some air before they reached the borders seemed like a good enough excuse to release her... but if her attitude had worsened?

"I LIIVVVEEE!" Kiya yelled as she opened her muzzle wide and yawned, her arms, legs and tail sticking out in different directions as she stretched, being in her pokeball all day had been the longest she had ever been contained.

Shaking her body, her tail flung about as if she had just stepped out of a pool of water. Waking herself up, her eyes then flickered to Naruto.

Reluctantly Naruto tossed Myrel's pokeball into the air, in the next moment he caught Kiya's pokeball which she had launched at him as soon as she saw that Myrel would be traveling with them, a frown on her face.

"There's a large bed of grass just beyond this cliff." Hinata replied, canceling her Byakugan, a large cliff stood in their path many stories above, but it was nothing but an obstacle.

"~Yawn~... That damn sailor." Tashira spat, cracking her neck as she stretched, that had officially been the longest she had ever spent in her pokeball ever since she had met Naruto and Hinata, and she didn't miss it.

"I thought he looked more like a pirate." Yue muttered, "You know with the pipe, and telescope he had." the Cheshire smiled, Tashira smirking at Yue's jab at the old man. Tashira and Yue handed Hinata their pokeballs, "Alright, what are we going to do now?" Tashira asked.

"Right now we're looking for a place to set up camp." Naruto replied, watching as Myrel finished materializing in front of him.

Myrel's tail smacked the pokeball in Naruto's direction, rolling to hit his boot, he picked it up, "So, how's it feel to be locked up for so long and finally get some air?" Naruto asked.

Her tail waggled excitedly, and her long lashes fluttered for a moment before Myrel turned to look at him oddly, she had been locked up far longer than a mere two days before, hearing Naruto call it a long time confused her.

Emotions ran across her face at miles per second before she rested to a respectful quiet expression, "... It's fine." She answered slowly, and turned away to look around.

Hinata tilted her head, making sure she had read her features correctly, 'She's... annoyed and aroused by him?' So... ferality was beginning to affect her then, 'Perhaps that's why Naruto spent hours trying to find out what she wants her Tamer to be like.' Naruto was really beginning to think ahead.

Yue looked up at the cliff, "In that case, everyone grab ahold." She stated, making sure that everyone was touching one another, one second they were near the lake shore, next they were looking from the top of the cliff, and about three miles downside the rocky cliff laid a large bedding a grass ahead.

"Thank you Yue."

Yue nodded, "Your welcome Hinata."

After making sure everyone's supplies were secured Naruto nodded to the group and signaled to go.

Yue's ears twitched, her body wishing to hurry, "Hinata, will we be running, flying or teleporting?" She asked.

Hinata rubbed behind her ears and chuckled, "We'll walk."

The Cheshire sighed, 'Why walk? Teleporting would cut the time down significantly?' She knew the answer to that, what was she doing doubting Hinata and Naruto's orders? She just had an aching feeling that a part of Hinata's decision lay with the fact that Myrel was with them. Yue berated herself, Hinata and Naruto had said they didn't want her always relying on her ability to teleport, because if she was ever low on energy that her teleportation wouldn't work, she needed to know how to find another way to go about the situation.

In this case: Traveling the distance instead of skipping it.

It was necessary she knew that, but it didn't please her to waste time covering distance in an hour that could be made in a few seconds. Time was precious, Hinata had told her that, time meant everything, from hours to mere seconds, what one did in that amount of time could change the outcome of any given situation either positively or negatively.

Yue had taken that to heart, but then Hinata also began to teach her patience, meditation. Doing nothing for hours when she could be scouting the area, gathering food, wood, covering ground, or training physically.

It confused her, how could she not waste time, yet take the time to be patient simultaneously? Or maybe there was a lesson there that Hinata was hoping she'd figure out on her own. She had yet to make any connection between wasting time and spending time wisely.

Yue constantly scheduled her day, sometimes extended to weeks, and once she planned for a month.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Training, resting, meditation, hunting, scouting ahead, technique training, reading, organize equipment, dedicate time solely to her masters, other Pokégirls and future Pokégirls; She went over these things in her head every day, how much time needed to be spent on each, every day was a constant mental timer she made up, her own personal quota.

Walking for three days straight? Walking instead of using her and Kitsuto's Kyubi for teleportation; Tashira, and Kitsuto's Avariel for flight, which would've gotten them to the border within a day and a half?

They wasted time, lots of it, and she didn't see the reason for it. Despite what she thought, she knew that Hinata and Naruto had probably already thought of this before she had, and if they decided not to go that route, then she wouldn't say otherwise.

Hinata and Naruto's words were final, and she wouldn't question it, at least if they weren't outright ridiculous that Naruto would sometimes bring upon her. But when she did question them no one faulted her for it because she wasn't used to comrades, with her old Tamer they had decided it would just be him and her, traveling the world. After his death, switching to Hinata's harem she had to re-learn her dynamics, she then had comrades to watch over, and she also no longer had to do everything, but she did work harder then she had ever before once she met Naruto and Hinata.

They had made her overall more skilled than before, as well as saved her life, and given her a family. How could she be anything less than eternally grateful? They were her saviors, her King and Queen, her masters.

They didn't like it when she referred to them as such, and her overly formal attitude had only worked to disturb them. Fun, playing around, tickle fights, laughing and joking, she was new to that and slowly but surely, she knew that she was beginning to unwind, be more outspoken, playful the more time she spent with the group... when she truly felt happy, she could even act as silly and fun as Kiya.

That made Hinata and Naruto happy the first time she had acted in such a way, seeing her master's in such joy at her changing behavior only worked to encourage herself to learn how to be more open, because it would make them happy.

She had also picked up a trick, a variation of the aura of cute she could even say. She had noticed, that whenever she opened her eyes wide, teared up a bit, showed a small part of one of her fangs and meowed, Hinata would smile and glomp her.

Recently she had begun to do that for some things, it helped her get away with stuff. She had first realized this when she asked if they could cut meditation short for some longer sparring one day, using her kitty-face, Hinata melted and gave in.

She didn't use it often, she didn't want to be considered pathetic, but every now and then she considered it no harm.

She had sisters now; they were her big sisters that protected her, her role models that taught her how to do things. Tashira had experienced this with Naruto and Hinata; then Kiya joined and Tashira was then no longer considered the new Pokégirl, Kiya went through the weak new girl faze; When she joined Kiya had achieved the same status as Tashira.

When future Pokégirls joined she knew that she would be the big sister to them, she would no longer be the new girl, and she would then be up there with Kiya and Tashira. It felt strange how her 'family' operated... but it was a good strange.

Yue's eyes looked over to the Dracona, quiet and distant, much different than her usual self. She would be Yue's first challenge at becoming an 'Elder Sister', if successful. Myrel was stubborn, childish even, and an obstacle Yue believed she needed to overcome; Tashira had done it to Kiya, Kiya had done it to her, and now it was Yue's turn to Myrel, after she joined Naruto's harem that is.

Yue was the youngest member in their group at the moment, if she managed to get Myrel to join Naruto's harem, change her attitude, help teach her the way of their team dynamics with Kiya and Tashira, not only would Naruto and Hinata be happy with her, but Tashira and Kiya would finally discard her as 'Newbie' and now one of the 'Experienced' members.

Myrel was Yue's challenge.

The Cheshire meowed to herself, she knew that Kiya and Tashira were going to also be trying to get Myrel to join, but if they were the ones to do it, then where would her status remain?

A competitive smile showed on her feline features, right now Kiya and Tashira walked ahead of her and Myrel to her right. But soon she would be walking right up there with them, and Myrel in her place.

She didn't have as much leeway as Kiya, because Naruto wanted Myrel in the same harem as her; and she didn't have the influential alpha position that Tashira had, so she was limited in what she could do, but still there lied her competition, she'd find a way around it.

A family, but friendly rivals, it was a comfortable balance between the two, but she had a lot to learn. She knew that Naruto and Hinata, while their leaders, were only fourteen and were going to learn more and become even stronger, the same with Tashira and Kiya, and they would all help each other get stronger.

Yue's ears died down, 'I suppose I could start by learning the lesson about time.'

With an almost impatient flick of her tail, the grass clearing still seemed so far away, and with Naruto walking so slow because of his body, it didn't help her patience at all.

The Cheshire couldn't hold back a smile though, without Hinata and Naruto's permission, Hinata's Byakugan, Tashira and Kiya's help she wouldn't have two new stones in her collection.

Pulling the stones from her supply pouch strapped to her thigh she looked at the stones she had managed to collect: An Ice crystal, Angel stone, and now a Diamond stone, and a rare colored Water stone.

She had found the Water stone within the blood lake thanks to Hinata's Byakugan, this stone was truly a sight to see, the lake had colored a part of the stone, the outer part of the stone was as red as blood, but within the inner circle the stone remained a sparkling blue, and in the middle lay an engraved water droplet insignia.

She had at least a spare of these two stones within her scroll just in case, quietly she sealed the stones back into her evolution stone scroll. The more she collected, the more she felt jittery and happy.

Yue's eyes beamed at Naruto and Hinata, without their help, she didn't wish to think about it all she knew was that she was indebted to them, and one of her goals was to bring them happiness, to reel in Myrel, hopefully before she became completely feral.

She had no idea where she'd be without them.

Naruto was the first to know of Myrel's increasing ferality, then Hinata, and then Tashira, Kiya, and Yue, and undoubtedly Kitsuto must've realized it by now as well, but no one had touched the subject.

Myrel's eyes shifted.

She shook her head, her tail dragged across the ground raggedly, lazily, 'I bet they know. They know and they're laughing at me on the inside.' Myrel thought sourly, her anger bubbling underneath her silent unreadable expression, going from intense horniness to overly moody constantly these past few days had made her temper shorten to nearly non-existent, more than usual anyway.

Thoughts of being Tamed filled her mind, and thoughts of the available candidates to do it prevented her from jumping anyone. Hinata wasn't even considered, the last thing she could tolerate was straight female on female, unless there was a male involved, no female was going to be considered, and the only two males were Naruto and the silver-haired teen she had assumed was Naruto's relative.

Her choices were slim, as well as un-satisfactory... then again; Naruto did have that 'Jutsu' technique to change his appearance.

'Damn it.' Myrel growled, shaking her head to keep her mind from wandering, it was getting worse.

It was because she had even considered Naruto, that was why she didn't speak, only following where the group headed, feeling odd on the inside. Her body said yes to the blond, but her mind reminded her of the fact that she knew nothing about him, unless she joined him.

That was one of her only main drives for rejecting his bond. She didn't want to join his harem and end up getting screwed like she had with her last harem, granted she didn't have a choice on whether or not to join her last Tamer, which was why she was taking her option of finding a better Tamer seriously, she didn't want to end up with a similar Tamer as before, what if Naruto was actually a criminal? A fugitive or just a rich bastard like her last Tamer? She didn't know him at all.

Her reasonable side came to the forefront. Naruto didn't seem that bad from what she had seen of him, if anything he held his alpha close to him, pampered her, and even treated Hinata's harem with care and respect. Even so, he had a lot to hide for a nice guy, because of how much he had to hide it left her skeptical, his age remained a problem as well. Although, now that she knew he had his 'Jutsu' technique, she had been beginning to doubt that second factor.

An image of him defending her at the store passed through her thought, that was actually pretty sweet of him.

She shook her head, catching herself considering him again. Her violet eyes glared, straight into the back of the blond, 'He knows I'm going feral and yet he chooses not to take me to the nearest town. He expects me to beg him to join his harem so I can be tamed, it won't happen. He's sorely mistaken, he thinks he can manipulate me but I'm stronger than that!' She wasn't going to go crawling to him, it was a mind game, she wasn't weak, 'He's only going to tame me if I join his harem.'

If he was as nice as she had seen so far, then he would just tame her, and not expect her to join his harem or anything, out of the kindness of his heart save her from going back to being an animal, but no he had to be a hard-ass.

Now she was mad, that damn blond, that selfish egotistical bastard, he thought he was so smart, the cocky jerk. She wouldn't ever want to be in his harem, and if he dared to try and tame her she'd tear him apart.

Kiya blinked, she glanced to Naruto, then back at Myrel, noticing a very dark invisible atmosphere surround her as she glared at Naruto. Kiya tilted her head, spending the last ten minutes watching Myrel's go from happy and dreamy to mad and disgusted over and over.

'I wonder if Naruto has begun to see the symptoms yet. He hasn't even mentioned it, or even seemed to have noticed.' Kiya thought as she turned to see Naruto, Hinata and Kitsuto talk something serious.

Then again, maybe Naruto was luring Myrel into a net? Hook, line, and sinker tactic perhaps? Or he could've been too busy to even see it, he already had plenty of stuff to think about.

Kitsuto, Blue league, Team Trauma, Myrel, being one of the most wanted criminals on the planet... lots happened these past few months.

"Great, I've become an analyzer like Naruto and Hinata." Kiya mumbled under her breath, although that was what Naruto and Hinata have been training her to do ever since she joined.

Kiya narrowed her furry brows; she could care less about all of these troubling thoughts if she could just find a hot bubble bath. Occupying her tail by twirling it Kiya looked over to Yue and Tashira; Yue as usual being quiet, and focused, while Tashira seemed more irritated than anything else, perhaps Myrel's presence was getting to her, her disrespectful attitude adding to the fact she was a Dragon-type giving the Draconics' a bad name was bound to piss the temperamental Dracass off sooner or later.

Although... Tashira has been fairly tolerant of Myrel, whenever Kiya talked back to Naruto and Hinata during training Tashira always ripped her a new one back when she had first joined.

But Myrel wasn't apart of either harem so that may have had something to do with it.

They're walking came to an abrupt halt, "Alright, this is where we'll set up camp." Naruto stated.

Kiya raised a brow, noticing Yue's mouth and tail twitch simultaneously. The next second she was gone, her tent pulled from her backpack and hurriedly set up, then gone and back in another spot with Hinata's tent pulled from her backpack, after being set up, Tashira, Kiya, Naruto, then Myrel next.

She disappeared, reappeared with wood in her arms, gone again; the pile grew to an understandable height. The tents formed a circle around the small pile of wood in the middle, more wood being put to the side.

Yue nodded her head, "Camp is set up." Kiya looked over to Hinata, she looked like she was about to do scolding.

The Cheshire hugged and rubbed against her as she defended herself, "I figured you were tired, I didn't wish for you to wait, I'm sorry, Nya." Yue apologized, her eyes had gotten bigger, and a cute tooth showed from her lips and she meowed innocently.

Kiya smirked, seeing Hinata's stern saying die within her throat, instead she sighed, smiled and pat her, "That was sweet of you Yue-chan."

Kitsuto raised a brow as he pulled out the supplies needed for setting up his tent, his brows furrowed, "Just remember what master said. Can't always use your Pokégirls to survive in the wild." He muttered to keep himself from having Kyu do the same.

Naruto laid his sleeping bag out, half of it disappearing into the entrance of his tent, "Its fine with me! Thanks Yue."

"You're welcome."

Myrel's brows raised as she recounted the tents, "What's the seventh one for?" noticing one extra one after Kitsuto set his up, pointing to the second red tent, one of Naruto's spares.

"We were kind of hoping you'd sleep with us tonight!" Naruto bolstered.

Myrel stared at him, then her cheeks reddened, but she knew what he meant, "Why?"

Naruto lay on his sleeping bag, the lower half of him disappearing into the entrance of his tent, "Well, you've been cooked up in that pokeball for almost two days. It doesn't hurt to sleep in the outside world once in a while does it?" He tilted his head, something that made Myrel cheeks redden.

'Is he... doing the things that I said I liked for my Tamer to do?' She knew she shouldn't have answered, admitting that she liked it when guys acted curious once in a while, Myrel held back a glare, 'That... that-' those blue eyes... something about them.

Myrel's throat rumbled, 'I'll kill him.'

'Such wonderful eyes.' Her tail wagged and her lashes fluttered, Myrel looked at the Pokégirls and humans seated around the pile of wood, all but Naruto's relative looking at her, most of them smiling with their eyes closed, "Mmn. Something seems off." Myrel mumbled, crossing her arms, she just couldn't put her finger on what exactly.

"I'm getting ready to fix dinner, do you want any?" Hinata asked, digging into her backpack for her food scroll.

"No," The Dracona slowly shook her head, "I'm fine. It's just... I don't understand." She muttered.

Naruto smiled a genuine one, "Think nothing of it Myrel. I just thought you'd be a little cramped in your pokeball; we're waking up at six. If you don't mind, it would be kinda cool if you traveled with us tomorrow, just in case we happen to run into any Tamers, see if you like them or not. I know you're probably annoyed by just being around us all this time."

Myrel's brows raised, her tail died and hit the grass with a thump as her mouth dropped slightly, "I... thank you, I guess." Now she was confused, did Naruto really not know about her ferality? He seemed completely oblivious to it, 'Did he want to know what kind of Tamer's I liked so he could help me search for one?' she knew it all along; this guy was like an open book to her. He truly was caring.

She growled to herself, struggling to stay on focus, "Whatever," She sighed, "I'm sleeping in early." Quick to hurry and get away from the strange atmosphere the group sent out, she figured some sleep ought to put her mind at rest, the blond was just so difficult to figure out that it made her head hurt.

"Here, you'll need one of these." Naruto said.

Myrel snatched the spare sleeping bag out of the air without a word and promptly disappeared into her tent.

"Goodnight Myrel." It wasn't in unison, but everyone but Kitsuto had said it, she froze at the oddity of it and Myrel found herself not knowing what to say, so she didn't say anything, and zipped up her tent quietly.

She hadn't slept outside of her pokeball since... she believed it was before she had even joined her previous Tamer's harem, Naruto was thoughtful, she could at least give him that she supposed.

After Myrel had disappeared into her tent, they shared short discussions, and joked with each other for thirty minutes, warmed the can food and had dinner, Kitsuto didn't question their behavior. Not hearing a sound from Myrel's tent Naruto turned to Hinata, and with the help of her Byakugan she nodded her head.

Naruto nodded back, the look in his eyes became serious once more. While no one would recognize them, Hinata and himself were on the world's wanted list, ranked almost as high as the Trauma organization itself, though only because the Governments didn't know what level of threat they posed, if a mountain was leveled with Sukebe's remnants inside along with dead Trauma forces, Naruto could understand why they would take no chances.

Their identity wouldn't be hidden forever Naruto and Hinata reluctantly realized, Kenzel was bound to blab away about their personalities, and looks down to the smallest feature.

Fortunately for them, they had been in their Henge older self, but it was a harsh warning nonetheless, if their real identity was discovered, they would have to be prepared to face any force against them. This was one of the reasons why they had decided to trust Kitsuto; he knew the world and its strength better than they did.

The Pokégirls quieted down, and Naruto looked back to Kitsuto and Hinata, "Alright, back to the matter at hand. Kitsuto, seeing as how you live in this world, what exactly are we up against?"

"Just because I live here I'm suddenly an expert of who chases down the wanted?" Kitsuto asked.

He shrugged, "You're familiar with the Governments, at least much more than we are, anything you have to say is valuable. Besides, how hard can it be to defy the world?" Naruto joked.

Kitsuto's lips creased, "Fine, from what I know the leagues have different forces for different types of threats. Some may voluntarily go after you based on the reward on your head, or because of how dangerous you may prove to be, then there's the ones assigned to track you down." he started, raising his fingers, "The lowest to the highest starting with Tamers and other Pokégirl owners; Police; The Hunters Guild; Wizards and Magic Users; And if worse comes to worse: The Military. To top it off each of these have their own types as well, along with other factions allied with the Leagues. Not to mention the Pokégirls that they may have on them will undoubtedly be highly leveled."

Naruto quickly raised his hand to get him to stop, his brain rattled by not understanding at all, "Okay before you continue. Could tell us exactly, what are bounty hunters, and wizards? As well as the types these all have?"

Kitsuto paused and stared at them incredulously, "You can't be serious?"

The blond Shinobi thought on it, "Um, do they have assassination teams?" he guessed.

Kitsuto deadpanned, "Stealth squads, Anbu, tracking teams, attack teams, retrieval squads?" Naruto tried again, only to be met with Kitsuto's blank stare.

Awkwardly Naruto scratched the back of his head, "Yeah, we're gonna have to have you start from the top." Naruto re-affirmed.

Hinata nodded, "Don't leave anything out, we have all night." She replied. Tashira, Kiya and Yue all showed their displeasure one way or another.

Heaving a heavy sigh Kitsuto thought about where to begin, his brows narrowed as he set down his water canteen, his attitude taking a turn much in a way Hinata had seen Naruto do in the past, "Okay, let's start with the Wizards then. There are a few major points that you need to know about them, if you ever come across one."

Hinata held up a hand, "Kitsuto-san. What exactly is a Wizard? Is it human, or a Pokégirl?"

Tashira slowly shook her head, palming her face, "I'm surprised you guys haven't given yourselves away yet- Wizards are humans, a majority are males, Pokégirls at their aid, but female humans aren't uncommon, Males are Wizards, Women are Witch's." Tashira cut in.

"But what separates them from regular humans then?" Naruto asked.

"They are able to perform supernatural abilities that a regular human can't, or rather, don't know how. Wizards are people who study magic and learn how to use its power to their will, they can cast spells, curses to bending elements and the terrain around them, and are as powerful as or perhaps even more so than an uncommon Pokégirl. The more powerful Wizards are able to take on Pokégirls over the strength level of thirty."

Naruto and Hinata's eyes produced a noticeable bulge, wide and disbelieving, "So these humans are stronger than all of us put together?" Naruto blurted.

"Only the more experienced ones, but yes, they are rather hard to deal with if you're facing against them." Kitsuto answered.

Hinata narrowed her brows, "Just what is magic? A type of energy? A style or technique?"

Kitsuto rubbed his hands together, beginning to go cold, "It's a different type of energy," he began, looking to Naruto, "I can perform only the basics myself. My master Jiroshi is only average in Wizardry. In order to perform magic you need to first learn how to interact with the Mana around you."

Interrupting himself he gave a hollow cough, "I suppose it'd be easier to understand if I started at the beginning. As you probably already know, there is energy in all living things, but what you might not know, is that there is also energy in the dead, the nonliving," He began.

"Mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origin, a sacred impersonal force existing in the universe. Therefore to have Mana is to have influence and authority, and efficacy, meaning the power to perform in a given situation. This essential quality of Mana is not limited; anything and everything can possess Mana. And there are two ways to obtain it.

"Mana is a cross-formation of both spiritual and life energy which exists in all things, even the dead, not just objects, but even souls that have long left this world. In people, Mana is often gained through balance of actions, reflecting the balance that exists in the world and humanity's responsibility toward maintaining that balance.

"Magic is a typical way to acquire or manipulate Mana. Mana can also be made from the power of the mind, and the power of nature. It flows throughout the world, pushing and pulling itself into and around the material elements. Free Mana is the blanket of energy that coats everything but lies untouched, Free Mana may be seeking material elements to inhabit and with the ability to use Mana you can learn to control fire, or even move objects.

"When Mana is manipulated by any outside force, it is called Magic. Those that are tapped into their spiritual being can train themselves to be able to see Mana and know where to go or what to do to better perform magic, those that are more adept spiritually, and mentally are the more powerful Wizards." Kitsuto explained.

Both Naruto and Hinata caught up in this new brand of knowledge, remained attentive and quiet, before Naruto ran his fingers through his hair, "Man, this all sounds so complicated, I mean, how did you guys even come across magic?"

Kitsuto snorted, "Magic. Just the word itself, something beyond comprehension. And yet, for all magic-users, it's a system that can be understood to a point and even used to one's own ends. All we really know about Magic is that we can use it. We have no idea how in the hell Sukebe managed to give his Pokégirls a direct tap into Mana, Chakra, Ki and many other energy types. But what we do know is that its genetic and he managed to do it." The green-eyed teen shrugged.

"Is the origin of your power any different in your world?" Kitsuto asked rhetorically.

Hinata thought about it, and realized that no, no one in their world really knew how people had come across chakra, only figured out how to control it. All they really knew was... that they could just do it.

"So these wizards and witches are able to move objects? Spells and curses? That all sounds like some fantasy." Naruto muttered irritated, the thought of these 'magic-users' tracking them down didn't really soothe him.

"Afraid not." Kitsuto chuckled.

Naruto paused for a moment, "Hold on, that barrage of fireballs you shot at me, was that magic?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

He shook his head, "No, that was a different type of energy, while I do know magic, I didn't use it because it requires a lot of energy and time, and also I only know the basics," Kitsuto replied, easing Naruto's curiosity, before the green-eyed Tamer gestured to Kiya, "However, Kiya's Ember technique requires Mana, but it isn't classified as magic entirely."

Kiya blinked, her face heating up at having all the attention focused on her, she shrunk away from Naruto's familiar look, she glared at him, "Don't even think about it, I don't know the first thing about magic."

"But you have the potential to use it." Naruto replied thoughtfully.

"We're getting off topic. Regardless, if they are sent to capture us, what is their method of pursuit, and tracking?" Hinata asked.

Kitsuto shrugged, "Well we don't know much, the Mages don't tell the world about what they do exactly, only to the people who study it and graduate and even then you have to pledge to work for them for the rest of your life for them to actually tell you anything valuable, something that thankfully Jiroshi didn't feel like doing.

"Luckily, my master was an adventurous student who didn't listen much, he use to sneak into the Mages archives every now and then back when he was still a student," His voice lost its mirth, "They know a wide variety of ways to find someone, he told me that with a few divination spells cast in a circle of mages, they could get any information about the past that they desired and up to a month into the future with some other such deviations, and to make matters worse to whomever they wanted, with certain requirements of course." He reassured seeing the freaked looks on the two's faces.

"Certain requirements?"

Kitsuto looked to the fire, "Well they'd have to retrieve something that belongs to you, from your clothes to your hair, but once they do they can see everything from your past and all that you are."

"You're saying they could find out everything with a simple strand of hair? And they can see into the future too!" Naruto asked.

Kitsuto raised his hands, "Hey, hey, it's not as easy as you make it seem, to do these things it takes a lot of preparations, energy, and an unnecessary amount of time, and trouble. So they don't do it often, not to mention you'd have to be really important to even get their attention on you." Kitsuto comforted, Naruto crossed his arms only slightly calmed.

"And that's just one of their groups." Naruto grumbled, "What others are there?"

Lying on her stomach within half her tent on her sleeping bag, Kiya folded her arms and rested her chin on them; her tail wagged only half-interested, "Does it really matter?" She cut in, gaining everyone's attention, the Kitsune continued to elaborate, "I mean you two can look like anyone you want."

Tashira's brow twitched, "How's that gonna fool the psychic's?" She inquired.

Kiya opened her mouth, then her tail spiked, "Er- They... Shut up!"

"Good comeback." Tashira teased.

"How about-"

"Kiya." Naruto interrupted causing Kiya to flinch, then frown as she laid her head on her arms, huffing, "Whatever- Stupid scalie…" Then stopped her mumbling once Tashira's eyes turned to her.

Yue giggled.

"To answer your question, there's the Hunter's Guild." Kitsuto answered, getting back to the topic, "It's a Tamer-run organization that issues bounty-hunter licenses and rewards to capture, and/or terminate criminals, feral Pokégirls and any other type of threats they are able to handle. Don't underestimate them either just because their Tamer's with a different name, if you come across one your likely not going to escape, and if you do you won't without some type of serious or crippling injury, and they're almost just as dangerous as Wizards."

"How do they operate?" Naruto asked.

"They're headquarters from what I heard, is located somewhere in the Capital continent, other than that they have bases stationed all throughout the leagues, and you can find hunters patrolling only the important places, or cities constantly under a serious threat of ferals. The Hunter's Guild's primary mission is basically split into three branches: It protects cities from rampaging Pokégirls, mediates disputes between tamers and/or businesses, and ferrets out and stops any illegal activities like criminals and criminal organizations." He explained looking at each of them, as it was apparently news to all of them.

"With these three branches, they have different types of hunters that they train specifically for these types of threats. There ranks being split into four groups; the first being Guardians, they are responsible for protecting cities, mines, and other important areas and are primarily fighters. Tamers in this class generally study martial arts, know a weapon style or have some other form of defense readily available; they fight alone without the help of Pokégirls. The Guardians are the muscle of the organization. The Second group being the Mediators: Responsible for handling arguments or problems that arise with tamers and/or businesses, Mediators seek to resolve problems through talking rather than fighting. They train in psychology and negotiation and are practiced at calming everyone down. They are the brains of the organization.

"Third are Sentinels: Responsible for ferreting out anti-league movements such as the Team Trauma and unfortunately you guys probably, they are oftentimes considered the worst Hunters to deal with. They're brash, and sometimes come off sounding rude and stuck up, but their job is to seek out, and sometimes "deal with", the worst scum of society. They are the eyes of the organization. And the last group is the Knights: The 'All around specialists' in the Hunter's Guild. Unlike the other three groups, who tend to focus most on their chosen path, Knights train to be good at all of the above. The problem is that while it makes them very versatile and well-rounded, they oftentimes won't be able to do these tasks as well as the other classes. Starting tamers who aren't sure of what they're good at are oftentimes guided to this class until they decide to train as a focused class. They are considered the body of the guild." Kitsuto finished, taking a breath, he observed their expressions.

Naruto frowned, "Anything else we need to look out for with these guys?" He asked quietly.

Kitsuto thought on it, "There have been rumors about a new type of training program setting in a year ago. Supposedly, they don't feel pain, or at least train themselves not to." He added with a doubtful look.

Hinata looked worried, "Thank you for this information Kitsuto-kun."

Tashira grit her teeth, "Tamers, Police, Hunter's, Wizards, and the Military? Is there anything else you left out?" She was being sarcastic of course, but she didn't like the look Kitsuto gave her as he bit his lip.

Everyone's head snapped at attention, "Wait, there's more!" Kiya yelped.

Hinata looked to Kitsuto, his facial features showing he was deciding on whether or not to tell them, Hinata pressured, "Please Kitsuto, we have to know." She pleaded, Naruto seemed hesitant to listen.

Kitsuto's eyes looked around, and then sighed, "You guys already know about feral Pokégirls, the wild is dangerous enough. But also you guys know that you must've pissed off the Trauma Organization enough to warrant your heads."

They had looked as if they completely forgot about those risks, Kitsuto continued, "But there's more, other criminal factors, thugs, thieves, they'll all be after you, even other organizations both human and Pokégirls such as the Limbec Pirates, Sanctuary Goths, and even He paused.

Yue's brows narrowed, "Even what?"

Kitsuto frowned, looking reluctant, "Well... The News tells us that there's been evidence that a Legendary's scent has been picked up at the incident. Nothing's concrete, but an Alaka-Wham released to the press that she recognized the energy signature of the Legendary, though she didn't tell us who, but investigations are beginning to show that she may be coming for you guys."

Everyone froze at the concept and shivered further at what it meant. ~Heh~ Hinata looked to Naruto and he looked back at her. Casually Naruto began to laugh as if it were all a funny joke, pushing his palm to his forehead he threw his head back and laughed as everyone else stared at him in shock, watching as he seemed to have cracked from the stress being brought upon him and his ever-growing list of obstacles.

He then stopped, his laughter died, his body hunched forward and he rested his face into his left hand, "Great..." He heaved, sounding very tired.

"Naruto?" Kiya mumbled worriedly, he ignored her.

Both Kiya and Yue's tails fell to the ground, the Cheshire mewing quietly. Tashira grit her teeth and lowered her head.

She looked lost, intimidated, a legendary, she felt as if she were going to melt into a sea of depression and confusion, "What are we going to do now?" Yue asked, awaiting master's answer.

They were all wanted criminals, and hunted by criminals, neither good or bad wanted them, and now all of their Pokégirls have been put in harm's way, if they were caught by anyone, what would happen to them?

Could enough training prepare them?- No, Legendaries were said to be Gods of this world, they had nowhere to hide, would Kitsuto and his master allow them shelter at any time? But even if they tried their best...

Hinata was silent, staring at Naruto for a few moments before she looked away and into the fire. She closed her eyes, and thought some more.

"We'll talk about it when we get to Kitsuto's place." Tashira cut in to answer Yue, the Cheshire and Kitsune flinched as they turned to Tashira, a hard-look in her eyes, "Everything's going to be just fine." She finished, glancing back to the three silent Tamer's.

"Forget about it." Naruto muttered, now sounding more annoyed than anything else about the topic, "We'll think about it later," He pulled on a grin, a noticeably fake one, "Anyone still hungry?"

"So, where are you going exactly?" Myrel asked, perhaps dragging out her suggestive nature more than she needed to as she looked at the Tamer they had met only minutes ago and had just got done introducing everyone.

Mark raised a brow, and unsurely answered, "Just to the next town." Having noticed the Dracona stare at him for minutes at a time, her eyes would roam him and she'd give a small nod to herself as if she was checking off a list of criteria in her head.

Mark looked over to Naruto, the twelve year old boy had said he was walking her to the nearest PokéCenter to be checked into central via teleporter to have her admitted to a Pokéranch, he had said the Pokégirl use to belong to his father.

The nineteen year old Tamer raised a brow, well the blond and the girl weren't age appropriate to be a Tamer so he could believe that, the silver-haired Tamer was Naruto's elder brother escorting the two to the nearest PokéCenter.

Unfortunately the town Mark was headed to do not have a PokéCenter built yet; it's supposed to be up at the end of next month. Mark quirked his lip in a half-frown, it seemed the Dracona wanted a Tamer before she was admitted to a ranch, he could understand that, but for some reason, he just didn't feel as interested as he normally would in such a situation.

He looked at the fifteen year old Tamer, and the two children, then back to Myrel the only Pokégirl in their possession, "If you're looking for a Tamer... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to decline." he rejected, "I'm sorry." He quickly added the moment he noticed Myrel's tail ceased its sensual rubbing against his thigh.

There were four tents now, two of them were large enough for a harem, one blue and another red, the other two were normal sized for Kitsuto and Myrel. Naruto and Hinata had taken out their larger tents to reduce time, and let their Pokégirls sleep with them.

"Grrgh..." Myrel growled, 'Twenty Tamers... twenty fucking Tamers!' A dark aura surrounded her as the group proceeded to set up camp the 'normal' way as Yue called it. Eight Tamer's, none would take her, in every one of them she noticed a certain similarity in them, a quirk as it were, but that could only be left to coincidence. In all other aspects they were what Myrel could 'tolerate' in a male, they were at least above the minor standards, at least much more than the group she was previously in, and the one she is currently in.

What she couldn't understand was how they had turned her down? The whole prospect of a Tamer was to keep the damn Pokégirls Tamed! Why their refusal? She knew it didn't have anything to do with her appearance, for both female and male have ogled her in her travels, as for her personality, she hadn't given them a reason to think she would be unpleasant- Dammit she was pissed, she only had hours, if lucky, a day at the most before she was completely turned.

Naruto patted her shoulder, and instinctively already knowing who it was, growled loudly and threateningly to let him know she wasn't in any mood for any of his confusing mind games!

"Myrel-"

"What!" She snapped.

Naruto smiled, "Don't worry about it; there's still a ways to go and many Tamers in our path. There's always tomorrow." He comforted.

Tying off the last rope to her tent, Myrel snorted, "Yeah well, soon I won't have a tomorrow to look forward to."

"Good things always come at the most latest of times." Yue spoke up.

Tashira grunted, "Like that'll help her chances."

"Tashira." Hinata scolded.

Myrel turned to Tashira, the only other damn Dragon type, and currently, the main thing she wanted to rip the throat out of, "What do you mean by that?" She asked lowly, standing up and treading slowly to the Dracass on her knees fixing Hinata's tent.

"This might come as a surprise to you," Tashira started, she paused on setting up the tent, stood up and turned to Myrel, meeting her face to face, "But no real Tamer wants to see a lustful Pokégirl without a brain. Grinding up on any committed Tamer isn't going to appeal to them; the last thing they want to deal with is constant taming sessions when they're trying to achieve whatever goal they've set out for. It makes you look pathetic and useless." She finished, her red eyes meeting Myrel's enraged violet ones.

"Tashira she's had a rough day, no need to rile things up." Naruto stepped in; Tashira looked at him, and then turned away with a grunt, going back to setting up her tent.

The Dracona's retort died in her throat at the sound of giggling, Myrel turned and saw Kiya sitting at the front of her and Naruto's tent, tail wagging, and giggling as if she had been drugged with laughing gas.

"What are you laughing at?" Myrel rumbled.

The Kitsune waved a hand in front of her nose, "I can smell your arousal!" Kiya giggled, using her hands to try and stifle her muzzle. Myrel froze, and then looked down, the familiar tingle of her pleasure point, the Dracona's face reddened.

Kitsuto tensed, sure that Myrel would explode with anger, instead, her anger deflated no longer caring about whatever she had been angry at, now focused and saddened by the fact that she was now secreting her arousal without her consent.

Depressed from rejection she shrugged her shoulders, "You guys planned this didn't you? Just to laugh at me? You convinced those Tamers to say no, just a plan to fool me and trap me into your harem?" She muttered.

Naruto narrowed his eyes, "Myrel." A sharp, stern voice that caught Myrel's attention, "I have no idea why those Tamer's didn't take you in, and I swear to you that none of us sabotaged your chances with them. I'm trying to help you; I wouldn't wish any kind of suffering on a Pokégirl, especially one who doesn't deserve it. If you want I'll go out and beat a Tamer, drag him here and force him to take you in if you want me to. Believe me Myrel; a majority of us don't want to hurt you. Today wasn't one of your best, so try tomorrow, and if not, the day after." He finished honestly, glancing to Tashira and Yue who ignored him, either innocently or stubbornly.

Myrel stared into his eyes, almost as if trying to convince herself that there had to be some sort of deception in his words, or in his eyes. To her great disappointment, she found none, "That won't be necessary. I want you to return me to my ball, and admit me to the nearest PokéCenter; you guys will be rid of me then." She replied quietly, being tamed by technology, every Pokégirls shame.

Silence ensued, and Tashira basked in the depressing atmosphere. Naruto looked at the Dracona, her head low, so he lifted her chin and smiled up at her, "Don't worry Myrel. I'll take care of it."

The depressed Dracona stared into his deep blue eyes, moments to minutes Myrel didn't give a damn about the time, and her eyes were entranced. Slowly her tail began to wag, they held that stance longer than Naruto expected. Kiya tilted her head, and grinned as she stared at Myrel's tail, up to the small pink tint to her cheeks; Hinata watched before she quirked a side smirk.

After a minute of staring Naruto shifted his eyes, blushed, then scratched the back of his head.

Myrel's lip twitched, as she realized what she was doing. She heaved a sigh, and then nodded, "I'm going to bed." She growled, shaking her head to get certain thoughts out of her, 'Help me please.' Trudging over to her tent, she ignored everything around her, if it wasn't any of these guys fault, then it was all her's, and that's what she hated the most, 'Why does he have to be so damn optimistic, so pure and nice... it makes it so much harder to hate him.' She thought dejectedly as she zipped up her tent.

Kitsuto watched silently, his eyes having a certain blue hue to it.

"Hey, my names Myrel." The Dracona introduced. The Tamer blushed in response, and in that moment Myrel knew she had him.

Kitsuto's eyes glowed a vibrant blue, his eyes focused on the Tamer, and in moments his attraction to the Dracona faded. -

Kitsuto hummed to himself, 'They'll thank me.' Rolling his eyes at the unnecessary atmosphere he grinned as he turned to the group, "Any one wanna go wood hunting with me?"

"Kiya." Naruto said, Kiya's dreamy expression quickly disappeared as she looked away from Myrel's tent, standing up immediately, the three headed out to the woods, "We'll be back soon Hinata."

"Alright." Hinata nodded, her attention focused on Tashira who stood attentive in front of Hinata prepared for a licking, and not the type she usually got.

"Hey, Naruto." Kitsuto called over, as he picked up a chunk of wood.

Naruto turned to his kin, Kiya blinked as she ran around in the dark for her own amusement, "What is it Kitsuto?"

Kitsuto looked at him unsurely, "You do know she's going to be feral by tomorrow, right?" He just wanted to make sure, Naruto had been acting like an oblivious Bimbo about her situation thus far, and that was saying something because even a Bimbo would know a growing ferality when she saw one.

The blue-eyed blonde was downcast in response, "I know." he answered as Kiya continued to bring back wood and pile it into his arms.

Looking around he looked to his 'brother', "Well? What are you gonna do?" he continued seeing Naruto's confused expression.

"Don't worry about it."

"Well I am worried, and I'm betting your friend and Pokégirls are thinking the same thing."

Staying quiet Naruto rubbed the back of his neck, "I was kinda hoping a Tamer would've helped her with that."

Kitsuto blanched, "I thought you wanted to get her to join your harem! What do you mean? You want her to join another Tamer's harem?" now Naruto's intentions were mixing the green-eyed teen up.

Naruto's head snapped up, "I do want her in my harem, and I never said I wanted her to join someone else's harem. It's just; I was hoping to convince her to join before she turned feral, now it's too late. My time's up." He mumbled, "All I can do now is give her to a PokéCenter. I don't like it and neither does she, we all know that she could be kept on the shelf for months before someone comes by."

Coming close the silver-haired Tamer leaned over to him, "What are you talking about, your acting like it's over?"

Naruto paused, "…What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that now's the perfect time for you to get your bond." He answered.

Naruto turned to him incredulously, "Take advantage of her!" Kiya tripped over a stick and tumbled into a bush. ~Yahh!~

Kitsuto chuckled, "If anything, it's you she'd be taking advantage of; if she sees even a glimpse of interest from you she'd probably jump you. I mean she is a Dragon type after all."

Kiya's head popped out from the bushes, a pout on her face, leaves and twigs in her hair, "Hey, are you guys talking about Myrel?"

Naruto was reluctant, "I'd thought about it, even prepared for it. But after seeing her like that, and how much she dislikes me when she's not growing feral... I don't think it'd be right."

Kitsuto blanched, now he was confused, realizing that apparently Naruto had thought about this more than he had, "Wait- Naruto..."

Kiya bounded over, suddenly more giddy than usual, "You are talking about Myrel! -"Kiya"- So, are we gonna tame her? -"Kiya"- Both of us, you can go first of course, but after that we both go,"Kiya!"- I'll take the front while you raw dog her from-Mmf!" Naruto's hand grabbed her muzzle.

"Kiya... no." The Kitsune's ears flattened as she whined, "... No Taming?"

Naruto shook his head before letting go, turning to look to Kitsuto he raised a brow, "This should be enough wood right? Come on let's go back."

"Okay..." Kiya mumbled, her tail lagging behind.

Kitsuto stared as he slowly grew out of earshot, then let out a chuckle, "He's gonna tame her." Shaking his head he followed after them.

Five hours had passed before the noise around their camp grew quiet, everyone having gone to bed.

Kiya's ears perked up, hearing the sound of the tent entrance opening. Looking behind her, Naruto held her from behind, she nudged him, "Naruto... Naruto, Hinata's here."

Naruto's eyes creaked open, unwrapping his arms from around Kiya they both sat up, Naruto blinked the stars in his eyes away and came to see Hinata squatting in front of them, putting a finger to her lips.

The blond Tamer's brows raised, "Hinata? What are you doing?"

Hinata looked at him, "It's about Myrel."

Naruto inwardly winced, "Ahh damn…" Hinata's earlier talk with him just before them all went to bed still sown into his mind, "I know... but-"

"Naruto." Hinata interrupted, gaining his attention, staring into his eyes she nodded, reluctantly Naruto nodded back, "Fine, fine, I understand.. jeez." He muttered.

With a final nod Hinata narrowed her eyes, her Byakugan coming to life, "How are you feeling?"

"I can run if I tried, for probably only ten minutes at the most." Naruto replied, a small example of how much he had recovered.

"Your coils appear to be stable." She said, her Byakugan faded, "But will you be able to hold out?"

"I could use Kyuubi's chakra to reinforce the coils?" Naruto suggested, Kiya raised a brow.

Hinata shook her head, "No, it'd put you in an even worse state than before once it wore off."

Naruto shrugged, "Henge doesn't take up much of my chakra anyway, if I discreet it cautiously it won't be a problem, also I'll only use my muscles only if I need to, if I do that then I'll be fine for at least an hour."

The Hyuuga smirked, "You sure she'd stop before then?"

"I hope, or else she'll get really mad." He chuckled nervously, Hinata's smirk lifting his guilt.

Kiya frowned, "I wanna come."

Naruto held back a laugh, "It'd be weird if her dream Tamer had you in his harem." Kiya growled to herself. Turning to Hinata he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "Erm- Wish me luck."

Tashira and Yue glanced to each other, they were supposed to be asleep, but after Hinata left saying she was going to talk to Naruto they wanted to hear what was to be said, straining to hear from Hinata's tent to Naruto's.

"-She'll get really mad." Naruto spoke.

The red-eyed Pokégirl held back a growl, the loud snoring and growling coming from Kitsuto and Myrel's tents blocked out parts of the conversation, Tashira sat up, "I'm going out."

"You'll get in trouble." Yue reminded cautiously.

There was another reply before Tashira and Yue quieted. The conversation carried on for a little while longer before eventually the sound of the tent unzipping echoed between the two Pokégirls.

"Quick, she's coming back!" Tashira hurried, both Yue and the Dracass rushing back into their sleeping bags just in time for Hinata to come through the entrance and see two sleeping Pokégirls.

Hinata shook her head, her Byakugan had seen it once she activated it, but she supposed she could let them get away with it for tonight.

Her ear twitched, and instinctively she found herself growling.

*Zzzziiipp*

Someone came into her tent, the second time she slept outside of her pokeball and someone was coming into her tent without warning. Myrel didn't immediately open her eyes, nor did she feel the need to immediately move.

She was the strongest out of the bunch she was traveling with. What possible reason did she need to be scared? She had figured that her deep growl would have scared it away... strange.

Her head tilted, and her right eye opened to be met with blurry exhausted darkness, her body didn't want to move, and her brain was only on autopilot at the moment.

She growled again, only deeper, "Leave me alone..." It was meant to sound intimidating, instead it sounded weak and exhausted, she didn't feel the need to be on alert, her eyes were slowly adjusting to the darkness, and the figure of someone standing over her was clear.

She couldn't make out any of its features, but she could see his outline, it was nothing but a black outline, her eyes picked up the small definitions of toned arms, and muscled thighs, the figure was male and his imposing figure was beautifully alluring in her eyes, tall and toned; Spiky hair?

Her vision blurred again as she tried to squint, "Get away." She grumbled, her brain didn't even have the necessary charge to come up with any relevant thoughts, only a blur within her mind.

It had been when he touched her did feelings within spike. Her eyes opened, and despite not being able to see him she tried to glare and shake away her blurry mind.

He looked as if panicked for moment, before reaching forward; his hands touched her breasts in a certain way that just may have saved him from her tearing his head off. Her body was immediately responding to the attention it was receiving, it had been weeks since she had last been touched.

She paused, as if gauging his skill, giving the stranger time to put both hands upon her chest.

He wasn't perfect, but she knew he wasn't an amateur like her previous Tamer.

Myrel blinked tiredly, beginning to wonder why she had even been angry in the first place. Instead her tensed body relaxed, sitting down and leaning on her hands, she closed her eyes, suppose she could care after he was done.

Through the fabric, her nipples tingled under his fingers. Her tail twitched in pleasure, he leaned forward and kissed her like how she would always imagine how her true Tamer would, and like electric her arousal sparked through her body.

Myrel's eyelashes fluttered, she creaked open her eyes.

Deep, intense violet eyes met her own and she had to hold back a gasp of surprise and awe. She would never forget these eyes before her, how it was so full of intensity... not for its color, instead for what emotions were barred behind them. A dark and almost frightening cloud appeared to loom over him, it was slightly intoxicating.

Her body told her that he was dangerous and she loved the rush it gave her. Unspoken words danced on her lips, both just staring at each other, just wondering.

When he moved to zip up the tent she felt a familiar delicious shiver run down her spin as the arousal within her grew. He didn't say a word, and she felt his fingertips graze her arm.

She felt him and she tingled. Her stomach flipped viciously, who was this stranger? She couldn't see any of him other than his eyes and outline in this darkness, who was he to touch her?

She shivered under his fingers... Then again, who was he not to? He was the first to appear experienced, and instead of his own pleasure, seemed focused on her, entirely on her.

Unable to keep denying the desire her body needed she turned and she only caught a glimpse of his muscled body before she felt him completely crush her mouth with his. She felt his arms go around her waist and his hands on her back, he held her tightly. She couldn't even breathe; she couldn't see or even think. She was completely devoured by him; her need, her hunger was being satisfied but she wanted more. Her addiction was beginning to grow. She sucked in a breath from his mouth reaching to match his ferocity, letting herself slowly become lost in the oncoming bliss.

Their kisses were hot and hard, they were not sweet or loving. It was two people struggling to dominate the other; to first decide what kind of taming this would be.

This stranger wasn't gentle like how her wandering mind imagined Naruto would be; and he wasn't cruel or selfish like her previous tamer. She quickly decided that she needed him, she needed to feel him, taste him, hold him; she needed everything that her Pokégirl instincts told her only he could provide.

In a blur Myrel found herself pressed against the ground. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her thighs held him tightly, while one of his hands was caressing her ass and the other was on her left breast.

She pushed him away, and then removed her bra. When he attacked her again her hands went to his own shirt starving to get to the ripped muscles that were being blocked by the fabric. As she helped him, he helped her by removing his shirt and tossing it aside. She ran her hands over the wonderful sensation that was his body, and when he crushed her harder against floor, she felt his groin grind in-between her legs.

She growled and her tail whipped around viciously in wanting, her feral lusting nature beginning to show itself. He stopped, and she resisted the urge to lunge at him in anger, he lifted one of her legs up and rested it on his shoulder.

Myrel then felt a pair of fingers hook into the waist of her panties, slowly dragging it down her hip.

She lifted her hips to allow him to slide the rest of her silk from her legs, her tail relished once the panties were cast away. He still kept her leg on his shoulder perched.

He shook his head, chuckled as he began to lower her ankle until her foot was proportionate to where her other foot was on the sleeping bag. He then took both of her thighs, separated them as far as they could go resulting in a wonderfully ajar area that housed her pleasure.

He then smiled a charming grin that she couldn't help but grin back at. Myrel lifted her upper body against him and pressed her lips chastely against his before pulling away, settling back onto her sleeping bag, her tail wagged back and forth between the man's knees in anticipation.

Through relieved eyes, she watched as he finally lowered his head between her thighs, anticipating his lips but instead felt a stealthy finger as it traced lightly down her slit towards her entrance. Myrel moaned softly when he penetrated her tight muscles, squirmed as the thick finger stroked gently amidst the snug, moist caverns that trickled with more of her juices the more he moved his finger. Soon after she felt his hot, short breaths against her sensitive neither lips and that was when she felt as if she couldn't take it anymore, she hated waiting.

His tongue was the most sensational feeling she felt that night as he used the wet muscle to push patiently at her tiny nub. She clawed at his hair until she grasped roots, tugged gently in her own little way of encouraging him to progress his progress. His tongue worked in perfect harmony with his diligent finger, Myrel's core melting gradually into his mouth, lubricating his finger in turn which caused him to penetrate her faster. This guy, besides being the god of sex, had the body to compliment her's perfectly; it was as if he was from her desires. Although she wasn't expecting his finger to speed up, his tongue swiftly complied with her mental desires.

"Rraahh!" Her mouth opened, and she found the air thin, her breathing was ragged as she struggled to clear her head.

At this rate, a feral, or even a Pokékit would hear them, more or less find them. But for some reason or another, none of those brats could hear them when they were the closest out of all of the eligible people who could find them.

She tried to obtain as much of his pleasure as possible towards the peak of her orgasm, shoving as much of his skilled mouth as possible towards the scalding heat of her womanhood. The stranger reacted with a rapturous enthusiasm unparalleled to anything else she's felt in her life. All it took was one more of his phenomenal suckles to her swollen clit and she was off the edge, falling into an endless abyss of shrouded pleasure, her orgasm like pure adrenaline pumping through her veins instead of blood.

"FUCK, MORE!"

Even after that sudden outburst, the nearby sleeping inhabitants didn't hear them.

The stranger tasted every last drop of her sweet, sinful essence drank the woman like his favorite drink. He didn't cease his finger nor his tongue as the violet haired Pokégirl moaned a continuous harmony of growls along with breathless pleads for him to never stop what he was doing. Was it her or was the sex getting better? She was afraid to admit it, but maybe, just maybe, she'd consider this stranger as a potential master. Or a bi-weekly fuck, either one worked in her favor.

"Please... more!" What was wrong with her, had he peeled away all of her tough exterior? Could all she do now was beg?

He gazed up into her eyes, and saw the most lustful naughty pair of violet eyes he'd ever seen from a sex-starved Pokégirl.

Pecking her pink nub, he slowly inserted another finger into her contracting walls, felt them do a repetitive rhythm of contracting and releasing that she appeared to be controlling. He wanted to be situated in her warmth, feel her caverns perform for his appendage what she was for his fingers. As her pussy continued to release its juices, He only added onto sensation, prolonged the violet eyed Pokégirl's orgasm further when he swiftly began his fingers inside of her again along with his fervorous tongue at her tiny bud. He knew that if he were to insert another digit she would have welcomed it without complaint.

Myrel's tirade of roars and moans were slowly diminishing once he lifted his head from the apex of her thighs, and then removed his fingers.

If he had said something, she couldn't hear it. He watched her moan softly to no person in particular, rolling her hips towards a pleasure that had already ceased.

She pleaded, violets clouded with passion, lips swollen from their kisses and from being between her teeth.

He scaled up her body agonizingly slow, wrapped both of his strong arms around her supple body before leaning down to kiss her.

In their hungry kiss, Myrel divulged a desperation deep inside of her that she had no prior knowledge of existing as she grabbed the waist of his pants and removed them as far as she could. He finished taking off the remainder of his pants, a triumphant growl in both of them.

The violet eyed dragon felt the blissful feeling of his throbbing erection on her thigh, opened her legs further for him to fit between them and relished in the sensations of his appendage situated at her entrance. She whimpered into his mouth, her whimper evolving into roars of surprise when he suddenly took one of her legs and swung it clear over his shoulder, her foot dangling in mid-air.

'Don't make me wait!'

The anxious Pokégirl then felt the pulsating head of his erection slowly parting the lips of her entrance, with every inch that disappeared into her warmth, the more she moaned for him. Myrel refused to lie still beneath him as she tossed her head feverishly against her pillow, rolled her hips to allow more of him inside of her. A scream caught in her throat when the last inches of him magically sank into the depths of her. She thought she would have lost it if he didn't lean down to kiss her.

It had been so long since she had such attention solely on her. She softly closed her eyes.

He chuckled huskily, resonating sound that reverberated all the way to her thighs. She shivered and then felt as he wound an arm around her back, lifted her upper body until her naked chest pressed tightly against his, forced to look into his dark irises that just screamed sexy.

He leaned down to her lips, kissed them softly.

The violet haired Pokégirl moaned in light protest against his lips, hit the back of his head as their kiss deepened. She enwrapped her arms around his neck, felt his tongue delve slowly into the heat of her small mouth and past her luscious lips. Myrel reveled at his passion, raked her nails up his bare back as he started to slowly inch out of her tight walls, her pussy like a vice grip around his large appendage.

His rhythm was steady and painfully slow, as though her scalding juices were made of molasses. She tore away from his lips to throw her head back in a act of pure, wanton abandon, uneven pants escaping her throat from his increasing tempo. He couldn't help but stare at her, feel a strong sense of accomplishment that he finally had this woman moaning beneath him. He thought he wouldn't be able to, that his charms would fall short.

Cursing was cried from her lips. Now that he thought about it, all he really did was situate himself just a little ways closer to her, and maybe he angled himself a bit as he did it. But whatever he did, he wasn't going to let up and by the sounds of her sinful sighs; he sure as hell was going to do whatever it took to figure out exactly what it was.

'Not yet.' There was a special spot within her caverns, it must have been in her lower abdomen, and he had to descend deep inside of her to reach it so she could finally achieve her fix. It caused so many unexplainable sensations to happen within her body. She didn't know an orgasm could feel like the one she had when she first found out about the spot.

"Grah..! Deeper... harder!" She growled.

And for the first time he spoke, "Nng... We should slow dow-"

She didn't care to listen to his tone, "You need to speed up," she snared.

She could feel how he looked at her, as if it was so easy to manipulate her and watching as she begged for more. Myrel wouldn't have it, tonight she needed release and she wouldn't stand for being toyed with. With a burst of adrenaline in her lower body Myrel surprised the stranger by flipping him under her and pinning him down.

Too stunned for a second to really do anything he stared up at her with a mix of shock and surprise in his eyes. Myrel took advantage of his moment of stunned silence to get what she craved.

She felt him grab onto her hips; slowly she rose, and then slid back down onto him, gasping loudly and hissing at him. She heard him groan under her and she tossed her head back being filled by him she was completely lost in the sensation. She rocked her body up and down on him, her hands on his stomach supporting her, his hands on her hips as he tried to push her down as hard as possible to get himself deep inside her.

The deeper he went the louder Myrel growled until her gasps became full roars of the intense pleasure. She felt him deep in her core and she moved her body grinding against him. She vaguely felt him pinch and tweak her nipples; all she really cared for was gaining that wonderful satisfaction, if anyone dare interrupted her, she'd show no mercy.

Riding up and down she picked up speed, moving her hips in small circles until she found that spot that would let her lose complete control. When he grabbed her hips and pushed hard into her she found it for just a moment.

"Ggrrr!" She shut her eyes. "Rrgh- right there!" She roared, her body repeated the motion. Under her he groaned grabbing hard on her hips making them move to ram hard into her.

Faster and harder he pushed, the louder Myrel found herself cursing for more. For him not to stop, never to stop.

Her nails dug deep into his chest as she rode fast up and down, the room filled with the sound animalistic roars and grunts. As she took control she felt him reach up and grab her hair pulling her down to kiss her, lost in her pleasure Myrel conceded moving with him, allowing him to control her.

He kissed her hard and bit her bottom lip. When she moved back up he came up with her changing to angle to a more intense sensation, he tackled her hard back onto her back, her body tingled and Myrel cried out a curse.

"Fuck!" Grabbing onto his shoulders red nail marks were engraved into his skin, he didn't seem to care, or if he did, then she didn't.

He understood her cry and shifted his position.

He obeyed, and with a thrust, felt just a bit guilty when a resonating cry tore through the air, melding in with the sounds of their session. The gasp then turned into heart wrenching cries, He thought pain.

He underestimated her. Myrel was insatiable; she was a dragon type, the toughest breed.

"RRAhhh! YES, Yes! Just like that!"

And he continued. He deep-ended the voluptuous woman until she couldn't decide to have her orgasm now or later. Her mind a helplessly jumbled mess, she blindly met his thrusts in a desperate attempt to feel as much of his pleasure as humanly possible. Myrel created abrasions on his back that would have been mistaken for being attacked by a group of ferals, her nails nearly drawing blood as she raked them hard up his hot, dampened skin.

Curses were repeated from her lips like a broken record.

She had never felt a real orgasm once she had experienced this one. The most trembling, pleasuring, amazing orgasm she had ever felt, Myrel's sensuous body a tremoring delight beneath him. Her blood felt like it was replaced with pure adrenaline as it soared throughout all of her veins, the height of her orgasm felt all throughout her body and even took away her breath.

He held her tight against him, and he buried his face into the crevice of her neck. An animalistic sound reverberated out of her throat, Myrel feeling endless spews of his seed spurt deep into her womb in broken bursts as her insides nearly strangled his member into submission.

When the height of her bliss had finally melted down, only then did she care to relax, release him and fall to her sweaty sleeping bag in exhaustion, she relished in the small kisses he placed upon the dip in her collarbone in the same spot again and again, and she welcomed the feeling of thick hot liquid leaking from within and running down in-between her cheeks.

She felt so dreadfully tired, "Tamer..." Her vision blurred in and out of focus, her body begged for rest now that her desires had finally been met.

She slept that night in a naked sweating heaven.

"Oouugh…" Naruto groaned.

"Dang it, hold still." Kiya growled, her tongue sticking out the side of her jaw, she focused on bandaging his new wounds, now she knew how frustrated Hinata felt, "Didn't I warn you? You can't just underestimate Pokégirls ya know!" She scolded, now one of Naruto's ribs was cracked.

Naruto laughed softly, "Aha Sorry~ I didn't think Pokégirls could weigh so much." He muttered, where regular humans would've had a more serious wound, he had figured he could handle taming a Draconic without restraints, after all Hinata and Tashira did it every week.

Pushing the needle in, it contacted the broken rib. Kiya gave Naruto another healing shot, he choked back a cry, and it'd take a while before his rib was back to normal.

Kiya shook her head, "Draconic Pokégirls weigh at least three hundred pounds. You shouldn't have let her ride you, Hinata already knew that, dummy." She scolded, his whole mid-section and back wrapped in bandages again, after he had just gotten them off yesterday, he was reinjured. Having a three hundred pound draconic fuck you into the ground did that to human men.

He had crawled agonizingly slow out of Myrel's tent and into his own last night, "Ugh- Speaking of which, where is everyone else?" Naruto had only awoken to Kiya's lecherous grin, exiting the tent Kiya had examined the extent of his injuries before helping him patch up his injuries.

"They all went to scout out the area seven miles up ahead on top of the mountain, to see how long we still have to go. They left a couple hours ago, don't worry they should be back soon." Kiya replied.

She finished tying off the last bandage, her fur now sticky with blood, "There, all done! She yipped, "Now, how was it aside from your body being pounded to mush?" Kiya inquired, her tail wagging excitedly.

Leaning close she asked suspiciously, "Did she bite you?" Having a Pokégirl mark her Tamer that wasn't even in her harem was unacceptable; Kiya's eyes looked around Naruto's shoulders and neck to see if Myrel marked her, instead all she saw was Hinata, and her own bite marks.

The marks had healed, but there was a darker tint of skin around there, probably on Naruto's own doing on deciding to leave it there. Naruto laughed, "Kiya calm down, no she didn't mark me. Unless you count the claw marks." Naruto winced,

Kiya grinned, "So she's wild huh? What was it like? Tell me- Tell me- Tell me!" Naruto pushed her face away, "Kiya... calm down, you should be focused on other things you perv!" He reminded.

The Kitsune pouted, "What a guy, won't even tell me the details." She whined.

Naruto stared, and then looked around suspiciously. Putting a hand on the side of his mouth he leaned in as if telling a secret, "I'll just say this, she's insatiable." Groaning as he did, "I thought she'd never stop."

Kiya's eyes widened as she also looked around to see if no one was listening, "Even longer then me?"

Naruto nodded grimly, "Forty-five minutes." Kiya's fur lifted and her tail froze in place, 'By a mere ten minutes?' Wait, "Since penetration?" Kiya asked, the timer didn't start until entrance, trying to make sure she whined in frustration at Naruto's nod. She had tried to stay up last night, but she fell asleep after the first six minutes of hearing Myrel's roaring, she didn't know that they had gone that long.

Her jaw dropped at the thought, "No way!" Naruto nodded, a pout over rode her features, and her ears laid flat against her head. Then again... her eyes fired up and a competitive grin bared her teeth, "Well we're just gonna have to change that."

Naruto looked horrified, "Please Kiya-"

Kiya waved him off, "Besides, what kind of alpha would I be if I let future harem sisters beat a Kitsune in sex? We're going for the longest record than ever before!"

Naruto moaned in misery, the mere thought of sex in his condition sounded like a painful ordeal. The two laughed, Kiya's predacious attitude coming to the surface the moment she had seen Naruto wake up this morning with bloody claw marks on his back.

Kiya took the water canteen and quickly washed the blood off her hands, and sealed the medical supplies back into the pouch as Naruto put a shirt on.

*Zzzziiiiiiip*

Naruto and Kiya's heads snapped to the normal-sized red tent, half of Myrel's body sticking out of it as she proceeded to crawl out and stand up, stretching and yawning as she did.

Naruto and Kiya's breath hitched.

Rubbing her eyes she looked around, quickly spotting Naruto sitting down cradling his stomach, and Kiya holding the water canteen standing over a puddle of bloody grass.

Myrel stared, and then observed Naruto's posture, "What's wrong with you?" She asked, her arms stretching out and her tail slowly wagged back in forth, her hair slightly mussed, and there was a strange glow around her, a happy satisfied glow, but yet, even Myrel didn't know why.

Naruto smiled and closed his eyes, "Er- Nothing. One of my muscles ripped again- Argh!" He grunted, moving too fast, a sharp pain hit him as he cradled his left rib section, "Kiya was just helping me bandage it." He grunted. Kiya nodded, looking to Myrel to see if she bought it.

Myrel raised a brow, "How did that happen?" She asked part of her caring, the other not. Kiya looked back to Naruto expectantly, hoping he'd say something clever.

Naruto struggled to form a sentence, "Uhhhh-"

"We fucked." Kiya interrupted, Naruto and Kiya shared a look, Myrel turned to the Kitsune and blanched.

.

.

.

"It was good." Kiya finished awkwardly, trying to hurry and help Naruto.

Naruto nodded convincingly at the golden tinted Pokégirl, going with Kiya's prude story, "Ah- yeah! You know how Kitsune's are!"

"Always horny!" Kiya encouraged, both of them scratching the back of their heads as they laughed awkwardly. Myrel looked at them oddly, Naruto quickly took the small window and cleared his throat, "Er- So, how was your night?"

Myrel paused, and thought on it. Confusion, satisfaction, dreamy, and more confusion passed through her features, "I'm not sure. I had a strange dream though, but this night has been the best I had slept in a long while." Myrel answered slowly, a faraway look in her eyes, last night was just a blur, remembering everything, and yet remembering nothing, all she knew was that it was the best night she had in a long while.

Naruto and Kiya shared a glance, a small restrained smile both present, "Oh, that's good. Any reason why?" Naruto asked.

The Dracona pondered it, "I suppose it's just because I haven't slept outside my pokeball in a long while. Who cares?" Myrel shrugged, she wasn't going to spend all day wondering why she felt better now than she had in a long time.

Although, something was off, 'My ferality.' she thought, it was gone. Now that meant the obvious, 'I've been tamed.' Or had she? Maybe her dream was still 'blessing' her body.

There was something that seemed strange though, but her body just said, 'who cares, you feel great.' Still, she couldn't leave it alone.

Myrel's brows narrowed as she continued to think. She remembered the strange man that had entered her tent, and they had the most wonderful fuck she had ever had in a long, long time. It was just that she couldn't decide on whether or not that was real, her unruly emotions she had been experiencing yesterday had all but evaporated with her ferality, someone had tamed her last night, but she had a blurry mind and there was also no male that looked like the stranger miles from here, the thought of it being a dream was also there.

'Naruto's acting very off today.' she took note. Just then, a small bit of information came back to her, she had told Naruto to admit her to a PokéCenter, 'Did he have me tamed at a PokéCenter? If he did... then why not just leave me there?' A part of her wanted to know, the other wanted to leave it as it was.

Myrel stared at Naruto, perhaps he knew that she didn't want to be shelved, spared her of one of every Pokégirls nightmares, to be forgotten.

So damn caring, 'What the fuck's wrong with me!' she berated, quickly turning around to rub away the bit of liquid accumulating at the edge of her eyes.

"Oi... Myrel you okay?" Naruto asked.

Myrel nodded, "I'm fine. Where are the others?" She asked gruffly, trying to hide her voice which was growing weak with emotion.

"There up ahead scouting the area, they'll be back soon." He replied, Myrel nodded, "Well, we should probably pack up Kiya." Naruto suggested as they both turned around.

Curiously Myrel's head turned around, then her eyes widened as she spotted something, 'His back...' She thought, the blood marks had bled through the set of bandages and clothing, and had formed in a way that made her realize, 'That jutsu technique...' the blood marks looked like... claw marks.

- Anger surfaced, and her violet eyes filled with rage, "IT WAS YOU!"

Kiya's fur stood on end, "Naruto, blood is bleeding through your shirt." She whispered.

Naruto's body was frozen in place, "Too late for a change now." He muttered, turning back around the two of them saw Myrel, red in the face, tail waving viciously, and her body ready to charge.

Hiding it now would only hurt any type of trust Naruto managed to establish, standing abroad he nodded, "Yeah, it was me." He admitted.

"So it wasn't a dream, this was a part of your plan wasn't it you lying bastard!" She roared, she didn't think, who was to hold her back? She was stronger than the two of them put together, so she rushed, intent on pounding him to her hearts content.

"Myrel," Naruto muttered worriedly.

"What!" She yelled.

Naruto leaned forward, brows narrowed as he looked at her in genuine concern, "Myrel... Hey Myrel-"

In a fit of pure rage she broke through the Kitsune, backhanding the annoying canine into a tree, she turned her attentions onto the blond, as she lunged; she knew no one would be able to save him from her fury. -

"Myrel, Hey!"

Her imaginary reaction was shredded to nothingness due to Naruto's interruption. Myrel blinked and zoomed in on Naruto and Kiya looking back at her in confused concern, "Huh? I-..." she mumbled.

Naruto turned around completely to look at her, "You just had a faraway look in your eyes. Are you alright?" He asked.

Myrel looked around, then came back to the reality that she hadn't seen white and went off into a rage. Her left brow twitched at Naruto's innocent behavior, 'Why that little she assumed Naruto didn't know that his wounds were bleeding through the fabric of his shirt.

Quietly she was coming to terms with the fact that last night had been real, a bottling rage built up inside of her as she tightened her fists. Fuck yeah something was wrong; the bastard tamed her without her 'conscious' minded consent!

Thoughts of gory murder filled her thoughts, but she didn't move a muscle, and even the Dracona was at a loss for words, 'Why am I holding back?' She thought, what was keeping her from tearing him apart as he stared at her?

She looked at him, completely expressionless; "I'm... fine." she ground out through gritted teeth and a forced smile.

Tear his face off!

Naruto seemed reluctant, but nodded nonetheless, "Uh, alright then." The two turned and began to pack up.

Myrel's glare returned full-force. He had tricked her! All of it a ploy just to get her into his damn harem, she paused. Was she in his harem now? Had he formed his bond and bound her to his group? Or did he expect her to just request to be in his harem as expected of an obedient Pokégirl that's just been tamed by a Tamer, is that what he expected her to do, beg for his dick and join him?

The violet-eyed draconic grit her teeth at the prospect.

Although, if he wanted her in his harem that badly, then couldn't he have just captured her when she was her most vulnerable last night? Then why didn't he? Last she remembered her pokeball had yet to register her under a new Tamer.

So... he hadn't captured her? But why not?

Wait, did he expect this? Was she in another one of his confusing mind games! The Dracona froze, standing motionless for minutes, perhaps even for half-an hour trying to sort things out.

Did he want her to confront him about it? Or did he not expect her to ever find out, to just keep it a secret? Then what would have been the point of luring her into vulnerability?

A headache... Myrel put her hand on her forehead, throwing her head back she sighed, "Fuck." Confused, and yet she still had yet to kill the crafty blond. Narrowing her eyes she came to a decision, even if it was a trick, she'd confront him about this, she hated to be played with, for now... she'd keep quiet and wait till he was alone. The last thing she wanted was for Kiya catch wind of her this, if Naruto hadn't already told her.

A volt of bliss passed through her in slight guilty memory, 'Why am I thinking about this so much?' She felt great! Better than she had in months, in the first time in her life she felt truly satisfied, maybe not by the person, but by what the person did.

Any other Pokégirl would be thanking him she thought, out of the corner of her eye she watched Naruto and Kiya flirt with each other.

"Hurry Kiya-chan, it's the last day of January, we have to get to the border before midnight!" Naruto ordered, Kiya groaned in return, the thought of more travel.

The moon shone high in the sky, highlighting all that lay below it in a dim light, and in that light stood a pair of Tamers and a pair of Pokégirls. There it was, and here they were seven stories above standing on a cliff. After a full day of travel they had finally got to the checkpoint.

The border between Blood and Crescent Moon league being just a few miles away. There was a station that was set up, so any who traveled had to at least pay a minimum before being allowed to pass, there was also a PokéCenter built right next to it.

Naruto turned to Hinata, "What do you see up close?"

"Border Guards, Sentries, and their Pokégirls. Other than that just regular people, and an occasional Tamer passing through the border." Hinata replied as she deactivated.

"So, is that like a teachable trick?" Kitsuto asked.

Hinata held back a smile, and turned to the counterpart, "Sorry, it's sort of like a born trait." Kitsuto frowned.

Hinata looked back to the station miles away, without her Byakugan the station was only the size of an ant. She was sure that there were stations set up just like this one farther down the border, a rather large fence was set up and traveled off into the night, probably to the next station, lamp posts were set up here and there around the station.

The problem was, everyone had to pay the toll, and as of a few days ago they no longer had any money, but Kitsuto's revenue remained a mystery, she just assumed that he had no money on him either. If people tried to cross without paying by either trying to fly over, rush through, or teleport; Their sensors would pick it up, identify the Pokégirl and who they belonged to.

Naruto turned to Kitsuto, "Alright, we found the border. Now what are you gonna do? I don't suppose you have any credits on you, because me and Hinata are out. I don't really think we need a psychic examination either, we'd like to avoid... unnecessary publicity." only the three of them were standing on the cliff at the moment.

Kitsuto blinked, brows raised before slowly nodded and merely shook his head, "In that case... I have an idea." He turned away and grinned.

Naruto stared, "… What?"

Kitsuto turned back, looking more like a mischievous kid than anything else, "It's just, I've never broken the law before. This is awesome!"

Everyone else sweatdropped. Hinata raised a brow, but instead of voicing her doubt, she looked back down and resumed watching Tamer's, farmers, cargo and more enter, or leave through the station; neither Naruto nor Hinata would have any money in their account until at least the end of the month.
