Kurumi: Woo-hoo! A new chapter!
Naruto: …How can you have so much energy? Even I have limits to how happy I can be!
Kurumi: I dunno know.
Naruto: (sighs) I see… Well we better introduce the next chapter…
Kurumi: I know who can!
Naruto: (raises eyebrow) Who?
Kurumi: The new Steel Angel!
Naruto: …Fine. She can.
???: (walks in) Thank you for allowing me to do this.
Naruto: …No problem. At least you're a lot calmer then Kurumi.
Kurumi: HEY!
???: Thank you. Now here is the next chapter of Steel Angels and a Blonde, A New Angel Appears!
Kurumi was sleeping peacefully as she held her master firmly to her breasts. He didn't seem to mind too much as he was asleep. In fact it seemed like he was trying to push himself further into the masses of flesh thinking they were pillows.
To her annoyance, a loud banging sound kept coming from the door. She twitched in annoyance as whoever it was that was knocking was interrupting her time with her master. Slowly moving from Naruto and making sure that he was in no discomfort, she stormed to the door and opened it to see a tall, gangly kid around her master's age with black hair in a pineapple shape.
"We don't want any!" Kurumi yelled before slamming the door on Shikamaru's face.
A blank look was on Shikamaru's face as this happened. He knew this was Naruto's address and he hadn't moved so who was this girl? He was thinking about just opening the door as there was no lock on his door when he heard Naruto's voice on the other side.
"Kurumi, who was that?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his eyes lightly before yawning loudly.
"I don't know. I think he was some guy that wanted something." Kurumi answered honestly as she really didn't know nor did she really care. He was interrupting her time with her master and that was unacceptable.
"Naruto, can you answer the door?!" Shikamaru's voice echoed from the other side of the door.
Naruto frowned as he looked at Kurumi before rolling his eyes as he knew she meant no harm. Walking past her, he slowly opened the door to see Shikamaru with his left eye twitching. Laughing lightly while scratching the back of his head, he spoke a little nervously. "Hey Shikamaru! Sorry for that. Kurumi's new and she didn't know you are my friend. But it is six in the morning, so what's up?"
Sighing lightly as he muttered his favorite word under his breath. "Troublesome… I'm here on the Hokage's orders. Uchiha Sasuke has fled the village under what seems to be a single Sound kunoichi. All we know is that she was wearing what seemed to be a maid's outfit. Due to the lack of able body shinobi, you were on the list to be chosen for this assignment. So are you in?"
"Yeah, let me get dressed." Naruto answered as fire burned brightly in his eyes finally beginning to understand the snake truly wanted Sasuke for some purpose.
"I'm coming to!" Kurumi pronounced loudly as she didn't want her master going in alone.
"No Kurumi." Naruto answered firmly as he stopped right in front of his bedroom. "This is my job and I feel that I'm partially responsible for what has happened. You're not a shinobi of this village and you would only be interfering with our mission… I'm sorry Kurumi, but I'm going to ask you to stay here and make sure nothing bad happens."
Kurumi's eyes began to water over at Naruto's words. Before she knew it, he lightly placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled softly. That alone made her feel a little better as she nodded. "Okay master. Just take care of yourself, okay?"
"I will." Naruto answered before running into his room and coming out almost immediately in his orange jumpsuit and headed straight to the door. "Lead the way Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru merely nodded as he took point and headed into the village, planning on picking up a few more people before heading out.
Kurumi watched sorrowfully as Naruto ran off. She felt like a part of her was running away, but she knew he would come back for her. Smiling at the thought, she closed the door and looked at the room before sweat dropping. "Ah! I hate cleaning up! …Well master will appreciate it if I try."
Shikamaru looked at the gennin he and Naruto collected for the mission.
Akimichi Chouji, good friend of Shikamaru and deadly when combined with Shikamaru's Shadow skills. Hyuuga Neji, pride of the branch house and a genius on the battle field. And finally, Inuzuka Kiba, heir of the Inuzuka clan and a great tracker with formidable strength.
Overall Shikamaru thought it was a good team. Neji could see almost everything with his Byukugan, Chouji was physically more powerful then even some jounin, Kiba's tracking ability was vital to the mission and he could out think anyone if given the chance to.
Naruto was the wild card of the group. While he was powerful, his skills seemed to be a little random and he was unpredictable. However, he had been on the opposite building staring at the clouds with Chouji when he caught the fight between Sasuke and Naruto. He also knew there was a chance Sasuke wouldn't want to come back and Naruto was the only one he was sure without a doubt could defeat him.
Having everything already planned out in his head, Shikamaru looked at all of his subordinates as he handed them back their weapon pouches. "Alright, we're going to chase them down in a line formation with Kiba at point as you have Sasuke's scent and know where he is. I'll be right behind you and Naruto will be behind me as his clones can quickly cover us and provide us some defense. Chouji, you'll be right behind him and Neji you'll be in the rear so you can keep an eye out for us, especially our asses."
As everyone nodded, they were about to get into formation when a pink haired blur was running towards them. Naruto at first thought it was Kurumi before realizing she wasn't moving that fast and it was Sakura. When she stopped in front of the group, he could easily tell she had been crying for a while. And when she looked up at them, his heart skipped a beat, knowing something was wrong. "Please take me with you!"
Shikamaru frowned before shaking his head as he stepped in front of the group while looking over at Lee, who he knew wished he could help and motioned him over. "I'm sorry Sakura, but I didn't choose you for a reason. You would be no help and would only get in the way. That's why I didn't pick Ino either and I didn't pick Hinata as Neji has more confidence then her. Now stand back and let us go. We can handle it."
Sakura's face dropped further as she had been rejected by the group that could save Sasuke meaning she wouldn't get a second chance. Then her eyes fell onto Naruto and she instantly gripped his arms. "Naruto! Please bring Sasuke back! I… failed. Maybe you can…"
"No problem Sakura! Consider it done." Naruto smiled as he gave her a thumbs up.
Smiling lightly, Sakura nodded as she let him go and Naruto turned back to the group. "Alright guys, let's go!"
No one argued as they got into their formation and chased after Kiba and Akamaru as they sniffed out Sasuke's scent trail. After a few moments, Kiba stopped as he caught a weird scent and growled. "Something doesn't smell right here. There's definitely Sasuke's scent, but the other is different. …It smells like it isn't human but it is at the same time."
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he heard this as Shikamaru frowned, not sure what to think. Seeing that no one else knew, Naruto took a deep breath and shook his head. "Shikamaru, you said that Sasuke's kidnapper was a woman right?"
Shikamaru nodded, not seeing were Naruto was going with this when he took a deep breath and continued. "I think we may be dealing with a Steel Angel."
"What's a Steel Angel?" Neji asked as his attention was caught having heard the two words used together before.
Sighing lightly, Naruto looked towards him and taking a deep breath. "A Steel Angel is an artificial human; a cyborg if you want. I'm pretty sure they're always women and they are far stronger then you can imagine and from what I gather they all have different abilities. The battle in the village two days ago was between two robots and a Steel Angel that I awoke. I know this one isn't the same so I believe we can handle her but we have to be careful as they can be very dangerous."
Shikamaru's eyes widened for a second quickly figuring out that the pink haired girl that was in Naruto's apartment was a Steel Angel. He quickly nodded before turning to Kiba. "Follow their scents but be careful! We don't know what she can do and we must be prepared!"
Kiba nodded and picked up the scents before chasing after them. After a few moments, Neji alerted everyone as he caught something. "They're dead ahead! She's waiting for us in a clearing next to a barrel!"
It was too late as they entered the clearing and they were staring down a brown haired teen that looked a year younger then Kurumi. She had short brown hair that covered the sides and back of her face and reached the middle of her neck. She wore a white maid's outfit with over extended shoulders, a black chest and legging with blue trimming along her clothes.
However this wasn't what caught Naruto's attention. It was her chest size and it was rather large. "Oh fuck. We're in trouble!"
In the smoking debris that use to be known as the apartment Naruto lived in, Kurumi's eyes swirled around in a dizzying fashion. "Ow…" Her eyes refocused and a large bead of sweat fell from the top of her head. "Oh man, master is going to be angry with me! I DESTROYED OUR HOUSE!"
After she pulled herself out of the wreckage, she absently wondered what had happened that had led to the destruction of their cozy little home.
(Flashback)
Kurumi was simply vacuuming the carpet in the bedroom after she failed miserably on trying to wash dishes. In the kitchen stood an entire stack of broken dishes shattered in almost the same exact way.
Of course she forgot to pick up the ramen cups scattered across the floor and so the vacuum was knocking them around. This was annoying Kurumi to no end as they weren't being picked up. "What's wrong with you stupid machine?! Pick up the trash!"
After a few more futile attempts and getting further agitated, she picked up the vacuum and began bashing it against the cups. "WHY WON'T YOU WORK?!"
Forgetting that she had it plugged it; she snapped the cord while beating the cups and floor. That small snap caused an almost insignificant spark. But it was that spark that caught the carpet and slowly began to burn.
Finishing her beating of the cups, Kurumi sighed as put the vacuum cleaner back in the closet. "I hope master doesn't notice I broke it. Hm, what else needs to be done around here?"
Looking around, she started naming things that needed to be done. "Hm, clean the windows. That shouldn't be too hard for me. Fix the bed, that's no problem. Put out the fire… I'll do that later. Clean master's dirty clothes; but I don't know how to work the washing machine. It is difficult desu… Wait… FIRE!"
Remembering the fire, she opened the closet once more and pulled out the vacuum cleaner and attempted to suck in the flames. Seeing that vacuums didn't do that and the fact that it was now severely broken meant that it had no chance in working. Remembering that it was broken, she started to beat the flames in hope it would smother them.
She wasn't predicting the plastic to melt and spread the flames more to the point where they were all around her. In a panic, she slammed the vacuum against the wall and with her impossible strength the wall collapsed followed by the entire roof. The rubble did successfully smother the flame, however everything else was ruined.
(Flashback End)
"OH MASTER IS GOING TO BE SO PISSED WHEN HE LEARNS THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!" Kurumi screamed to the world as she grabbed her head and was running around in a panicked circle.
Having no good ideas of how to fix this, she went with the simplest idea that crossed her mine. "I better find master and keep him from coming home till I can fix this!"
And without second thought she jumped off and began to track down where her master went.
Things were going badly and quick. Naruto was quite sure Chouji was down for the count. Two blows from the angel had put him down for a little bit. Then he began using the weird pills after Shikamaru caught the angel in his Shadow Possession. He would have delivered a blow, but she easily broke free of it and with one punch took Chouji out of the fight.
Neji wasn't looking too good himself when he attempted to defend Chouji with his Kaiten when the Steel Angel went in for the kill. The problem was that she wasn't even fazed by it and knocked Neji into the downed Akimichi. He was still up, but he was a little shaken from the blow and the fact that the Kaiten had no effect on her.
Kiba wasn't fairing much better as she had knocked Akamaru out with one strike and caught him while he used Tsuga before throwing him into and through a few trees. While he wasn't too harmed, his pride was severely wounded.
Shikamaru was trying to figure out a way to defeat her but nothing was working and she continued going after him when he began to relay his plans to the others.
Naruto was probably fairing the best as his Shadow Clones kept her busy from kicking all of their asses. He hadn't even tried his Rasengan as he hadn't gotten the opportunity to do so. Knowing Shikamaru couldn't hold her down with the Shadow Possession, he couldn't ask for him and seeing his clones couldn't hold her down very long, he was at odds on what to do.
Barely dodging the fist for his skull, Naruto cursed before jumping back as Kiba came in with another Tsuga. She easily dodged it and delivered mid air round house kick to Kiba's spine sending him skidding across the ground with a small crater of the impact trailing him. Cursing as he saw this, Naruto's eyes widened as he looked over at Neji. "NEJI! TRY TO LAND A JYUKEN STRIKE TO HER HEART! THAT MIGHT STOP HER!"
Hearing that, Neji went in for the kill as he jumped back into the battle. Ducking under a kick, he struck out towards her chest hoping to hit the large orb in her chest as that had to be the heart. The energy radiating off it was unbelievable and he was beginning to believe Naruto was right as his fingers were centimeters from her heart.
Faster then he could see, she gripped his wrist before back handing him sending him flying into the trees and putting him into a daze.
Cursing as he saw this, Shikamaru was running out of options as he counted his explosion tags. He was a little low, but he knew the others had some and that would work. Looking over at Naruto, he shouted out hoping the rest could hear him. "Naruto, I need all your explosive tags! I'll get Chouji's and the others!"
The teen's attention turned on Shikamaru making him curse as she was going to come after him again. Seeing her knocked back by Kiba's Tsuga as he finally got a hit in, he rushed to Chouji as Neji engaged her in hand to hand combat. Reaching out and grabbing the tags Naruto and Kiba threw towards him, he reached Chouji and began to dig for his tags when she was on him. Shikamaru's eyes widened not having seen her coming and seeing Neji down against a tree.
Suddenly Naruto appeared in front of him and to everyone's horror, she bashed both her fist to the top of his head allowing them to hear a loud crack as Naruto fell to the ground.
Shikamaru began to tremble as the Steel Angel loomed above him. Instead of striking him down as he thought she would, he was violently picked up and forced to look her in the eyes. "Which one of you is Uzumaki Naruto? I need him in order to capture Steel Angel Kurumi."
Gritting his teeth, Shikamaru really didn't like this. Part of him wanted to say she just probably killed him but another part knew not to give away one of Konoha, even if he believed them… His eyes widened as red chakra danced around Naruto as he stood up as if nothing was wrong. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Now put him down!"
Dropping Shikamaru, the angel turned and looked Naruto in the eyes only for his fist greet her face and send her flying into the tree lines. Naruto didn't feel good about hitting a girl, even if she was artificial, however this was something that had to be done. If not, everyone here was going to die.
Everyone's attention was taken away from the glowing red Naruto as a high concentration of malicious chakra began spewing from the barrel. Within seconds the lid ruptured and Uchiha Sasuke exited looking as if he under went some kind of tranformation. Before anyone could say a word, the angel landed next to him. "Go. My master is waiting for you. I'll deal with these inconveniences."
Sasuke simply nodded before dashing off leaving everyone flustered. However they weren't given much thought as the Steel Angel turned her attention back onto them, more specifically Naruto. "None of you will leave here until I get the Mark Two Heart from Kurumi's chest."
Naruto growled viciously as his more bestial nature was in control and leapt towards her and attempted to deliver a vicious blow. He never got the chance as she appeared in front of him and stop him with a single punch to his stomach. That same punch seemed to drain all of Kyuubi's chakra from his system before she followed with a round house kick that knocked him into the ground.
Gasping in pain, he watched as Kiba was batted away as if he was a fly as Shikamaru tried to execute his plan but was unable to as Naruto was in the firing lane. He coughed up blood as her foot stomped on his chest and was forced to look into her ruby eyes as she was looking straight at him. "Bring the Steel Angel Kurumi here now and I'll let all of you live. If not, I'll start killing your friends."
"Not a chance!" Naruto spat back as he tried to throw her off but failed miserably.
Grinding her foot deeper into his chest, her eyes glowed brightly as she continued looking him in the eyes. "This is your last chance, give her up or…"
"LET GO OF MY MASTER!"
That was all anyone heard before the Steel Angel was blown away with one single punch from Kurumi.
Kurumi was pissed. No, she was more then pissed. This woman was hurting her master and she was going to pay. However, before she could continue her assault, Naruto slowly stood up and coughed a few times. "Kurumi wait… She's another… Steel Angel."
This caught her attention as she looked over towards the other Steel Angel and frowned. This was not the way she thought she would meet one of her sisters. Still, she was hurting her master and she was going to pay for that. "I see desu; I'll take care of her then master. Go get that guy you were going after."
Remembering Sasuke, Naruto cursed and was about to run before he turned back to Kurumi. "Don't hold back Kurumi, I'm counting on you. Guys, I'm going ahead! Catch up to me later!"
Shikamaru only nodded as the blonde left the arena and the two Steel Angels faced each other.
Kurumi slowly popped her knuckles as she looked at the other Steel Angel. "You're going to pay for hurting my master and his friends desu!"
The other Steel Angel said nothing for a moment as if she was analyzing her opponent before speaking. "Steel Angel Unit One, Uzumaki Kurumi, surrender now or I shall take your heart by force."
"Never! You hurt my master so prepare to be hurt whoever you are!" Kurumi shouted back at her, ready to pounce.
The other angel only closed her eyes and shook her head. Opening them slowly, she spoke once more. "I am Saki."
Kurumi: Whoa! What a great chapter!
Saki: It was alright.
Naruto: Yeah, the only thing I dislike was that my ass was kicked in it.
Saki: Sorry, but I was ordered to bring Sasuke back to my creator.
Naruto: No problem.
Kurumi: (grabs Naruto) Hey! Don't be trying to steal away my master!
Saki: I don't know what you are talking about. We're just talking.
Kurumi: Talking my foot!
Saki: (sighs) Anyway, if you have any questions about what you've read so far, see any mistakes or just want to leave your opinion of this story, please review it. It's the only way the author will know if he's doing well or if something is wrong.
Kurumi: Hey! Don't change the subject!
Saki: (shakes head) Goodbye everyone and we hope to see you next time.
Kurumi: Hey! We forgot the preview for the next chapter!
Naruto: Oh yeah! Saki, do you want to do it?
Kurumi: Hey!
Saki: (nods) Alright. As Naruto chases Sasuke to the border of the Land of Fire and Rice, Kurumi and I battle. Who's resolve will prevail, my master's or Kurumi's love for Naruto. Stay tuned for the next chapter, Kurumi vs. Saki, The Angels Collide!. Now I bid everyone a farewell.
