Kurumi: (grits teeth) A new chapter! Things aren't sorted our yet!
Saki: Sister, what's wrong?
Kurumi: MASTER IS SUPPOSE TO BELONG TO ME!
Saki: Huh? But he's my master to Kurumi.
Kurumi: (cries) That's not suppose to be the way it worked out!
Saki: Huh?
Naruto: I'm just as confused as you are Saki.
Saki: I see. Does this happen often?
Naruto: Yeah…
Kurumi: (pushes Saki) Get away from him!
Naruto: This is going to be difficult… HOLY SHIT!
Itachi: (sighs) Everyone sit back, relax and enjoy the next chapter of Steel Angels and a Blonde, Trouble with Angels or I'll use Tsukiyomi on you.
Tsunade refrained from standing up and throttling Naruto. While she understood it wasn't completely his fault, he could command Kurumi and she would obey him on a whim so he was at blame as her actions reflected upon him. Now she was sure there were exceptions to that rule, but she knew this wasn't one of those times. However, nothing bad came out of their actions as Saki was virtually a new Kurumi but less annoying.
Sighing as she leaned back in her chair, she rubbed her forehead a few times before sitting up again and looking straight at Naruto. "Naruto, I understand that nothing bad has happened from this; however I am very disappointed in you. Seeing that this pervert is in charge of your training and I've accepted his request, I'll let him hold out the punishment."
Jiraiya merely raised his eyebrow at Tsunade before walking over to Naruto and patting him on the shoulder. "Punishment? I was going to praise him for doing it before I could. She is quite a looker…" He was knocked unconscious as Tsunade caught his face with a vicious left hook and sent him into the afternoon sky.
Grumbling to herself, she sat back down on her chair and grumbled some more. Looking over at Naruto, giving him a death glare, Tsunade looked over at Saki. "I know you don't take my orders, however, since I am in charge of every single person in this village you are to make sure they don't get into trouble. Especially in a few weeks when the three of you will be off with that pervert freak of nature."
Saki bowed in response in a lady like manner. "Hai. I will do my best to make sure my sister and master stay clean as a whistle."
"That would be a little too much there… Just make sure they don't do anything stupid. That's all I'm really asking and I know you're going to have your hands full with those two. I swear the gaki here has ADHD and pinky has worse judgment then when that freak decided to do his research." Tsunade restated as she didn't want Naruto to be too innocent. He was a shinobi after all and their lives were bleak at best.
"Hai! I'll do my best." Saki responded as she bowed once more. "May we leave?"
"Shizune! Take them home! Brat, you'll be living with me until that white haired dead man gets back here." Tsunade spoke before pulling out a sake bottle and chugging it.
Walking into the room, a large bead of sweat fell from the gentle nurse's head before a loud sigh escaped her lips. "Tsunade-sama…" Shaking her head, she turned to Naruto and waved for him to follow. "I'll take you home now."
Naruto smiled and nodded his head. "Thanks nee-chan! I hope we're not intruding or anything…"
"Not at all. We have plenty of rooms… Though I don't think there will be a point on using more then one. We tried that with Kurumi last night and she still ended up in your room thirty minutes later." At the last part, Shizune was looking straight at Kurumi with a light smile.
Kurumi took this the wrong way as she wrapped her arms around Naruto in a possessive manner. "Hey! He's my master and nothing can separate us!"
Saki frowned at her sister as she did this and noticed the discomfort it was causing the mild manner nurse. Placing her hand on Kurumi's shoulder, she got the pink haired angel's attention. "Nee-chan, she was trying to point out that it is humorous that you can switch rooms in your sleep to get to master."
At first Kurumi seemed to understand what Saki had said before she heard the last word. This made Kurumi even madder and more possessive as she held him tighter. "He's not your master Saki! He's mine and only mine desu!"
This caused the brown haired angel to flinch and look away sadly as they neared the Hokage's residence. Naruto noticed this and tilted his head at her before sighing as he looked behind him at Kurumi. "Kurumi, stop. It isn't Saki's fault. I activated her and her programming is the same as yours and she sees me as her master now."
Kurumi let go of Naruto and stopped as tears began to well in her eyes. She didn't understand why her master was taking her sister's side as she done nothing wrong. Suddenly her heart clenched and she instinctively grabbed the left side of her chest.
Naruto instantly knew that Kurumi was upset enough that the darker energy of her angel heart was acting up. Knowing he had to do something, Naruto lightly brushed his hand through her hair. "Kurumi, it's okay. Just try to be more exceptive, alright?"
The pink haired angel's mood quickly turned and she squealed loudly before hugging Naruto. "Okay master! Now let's go to bed! Today has been a rough day desu!"
Shizune only shook her head as she opened the door. "I believe Tsunade-sama wanted you to stay in the guest room so that will be the one on the far right of the house. Seeing as it's next to mine, I'll take you there."
"Thank you very much." Saki said with a small bow in order to show her gratitude.
"Yeah, thanks a bunch!" Kurumi followed in her usual ecstatic tone as she clung onto Naruto, who was now doing the walking for the two.
Shizune only smiled as she led them the way and they eventually reached the door after Shizune was done picking up the sake bottles covering the living room. "Here you go and sorry for the mess. Tsunade-sama doesn't clean up after herself. Now you three have a good night and try not to be too loud."
Both Naruto and Saki blushed a deep scarlet while Kurumi smiled and nodded excitedly. "Okay miss! Kurumi won't be too loud desu!"
This of course made Shizune blush as Kurumi did not get the pun and she just shook her head and walked away, not wanting to explain the birds and the bees to a cyborg.
Seeing that Shizune had left, Naruto looked over at Kurumi as she was already setting up the cots, setting two particularly close to each other while setting the other a little bit away. Sighing knowing the pink haired angel was very possessive, Naruto turned to Saki before motioning her to follow. "Saki, may I have a word with you?"
"Of course." Saki answered with a small smile on her face before she followed Naruto into the living room. Seeing Naruto sitting on a cushion, she sat on the one in front of it.
Before either could say anything, Kurumi ran into the room. "Master! The cots are ready desu! Now let's go snuggle… What's going on here?"
Sighing lightly, Naruto shook his head as he looked over at Kurumi. "Nothing, I just wanted to have a word with Saki alone. I'll be there in a moment."
"What are you going to talk about that I can't hear desu? You're my master and I'm yours and I'll do anything you ask. We share everything about each other together. We are close." Kurumi asked, not liking what was going on so far. At first she liked the thought of having a sister but now she was beginning to have doubts about it as her sister considered her master her master.
Naruto sighed again as he looked down in exasperation. Kurumi just wouldn't budge when it came to him even if he asked her to stop. "Kurumi, please. There are some I don't want to speak about to Saki with you present… Please, just let me have a few minutes alone with her. That is all I ask."
Kurumi frowned once more before looking at Naruto in a displeasing manner. "Master is an idiot!" Without a second warning, Kurumi stormed off back to the room Tsunade was letting them stay in.
As she stormed off, Saki brought her head into herself as she looked down sadly. "I'm sorry…"
"There's nothing to be sorry about." Naruto responded as he looked over at Saki before shaking his head. "I should be apologizing for Kurumi as she has never acted this way before. I believe she is because she is threatened that you'll take me away but I'm just guessing here."
Taking a deep breath, Naruto was halfway tempted to drink one of the bottles set on the table but decided against it as he really, really didn't want to get drunk. Shaking his head, he looked back at Saki. "Saki, there are a few things I wanted to tell you. …I don't want you calling me master like Kurumi does. It bothers me but I can't get Kurumi to stop as it is a term of endearment to her. Also, I think it will lessen the tension between you and her."
Seeing Saki nod lightly as her head pulled up a little, Naruto smiled a little before his eyes wandered into the hallway. "The other thing I really wanted to say is please don't try and make me choose between you and her. I'll tell this to Kurumi as well, but I wanted to say this to you first as I can already tell you're more reasonable then her as she is kind of like me."
Saki nodded once more but looked over at Naruto in a puzzling manner. "Okay, I'll do my best… But why did you look off towards the hall when you said that?"
Naruto sighed as he was really tempted to take a hit of the sake right in front of him and he could hear Jiraiya's voice egging him on. Pushing the pervert out of his head, he sighed as he turned to Saki. "I don't know really. All I know is that she is kind of forcing her way into my heart little by little… That and I think I always kind of dreamed of her and is why I act the way I do. It is kind of confusing as I think of it now, but then again I'm fourteen, what do I know about love?"
As he finished, Saki had to smile as the face Naruto made cheered her up greatly. "Okay. I understand a little better and I'll do my best Naruto-kun."
"Thank you Saki, that's all I wanted to hear…" Naruto said before he looked over at the hallway. "Um, can you go get all three of us something to drink? I want to give Kurumi the same message. I have a feeling it won't be very easy." Naruto asked as he stood up.
Seeing Saki nod, Naruto smiled before walking down the hallway. As he reached the end and entered the room, he found himself lifted off the ground and hauled out the window and before he knew it he was bouncing high in the air in Kurumi's grip. "KURUMI! What the hell are you doing?!"
"I'm taking you away from here master so I can have my time with you!" Kurumi answered back as she hit the ground before leaping up into the air and clearing the wall of Konoha.
Naruto paled at this revelation and was getting a knot in his stomach as he knew something bad was going to happen. He really hoped that nothing bad would happen as he watched the sun set over Konoha.
Saki smiled brightly as she could hear no screaming from the room and she guessed Kurumi was taking it far better then she really expected. She really did want her to as she kind of wanted to be a sister to the pink haired angel. She just seemed like a nice person when nothing was threatening her relationship with Naruto.
Knocking on the door, Saki waited for a response and after a minute she was wondering what was going on as she could hear nothing. Opening the door slowly, she dropped the drinks she was carrying as she noticed the window was open and Naruto and Kurumi were nowhere in sight. She tried to sense where Kurumi was, but there was no luck and she began to panic. "Oh no! I must inform Hokage-sama of this!"
Leaping out the window herself, she sprang off the ground and towards the largest tower in Konoha and in two bounds; she landed on the porch just outside Tsunade's office and pounded on the window.
Tsunade grumbled as she opened the window, thinking it was Jiraiya before, to her shock, it was Saki and the said girl was panicking. Already figuring it had to do something with Naruto and Kurumi, she sighed as she sat down in her chair. "What are the two doing now? Please tell me they aren't wrecking my house…"
Saki quickly shook her head before blurting it out. "Their missing! Naruto-kun asked me to get all of us something to drink so he could talk to Kurumi for a little bit and when I got there…"
"Hokage-sama!" A deer masked Anbu yelled as he jumped through the window. "I've sighted a pink haired girl around sixteen years of age carrying Uzumaki Naruto out of the village."
Letting out a groan, Tsunade glared at the Anbu as she was just getting the information that would explain why she was carrying him off. "And why aren't you tracking her now, Inuzuka-san?"
The said Anbu looked a little put out before his head fell. "I couldn't keep up at the rate she was going. She was clearing thirty meters a second and I lost them and their scent in clear under a minute."
Groaning, Tsunade was ready to start pulling out hair before a white blur entered the room. "I'll track them down hime. Just send me with Kakashi, Gai and Saki here and I'll be able to safely retrieve him."
"Fine, but why exactly do you need two of my TOP jounin to track down on brat being carried off by his pink haired guardian." Tsunade responded in an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms over her chest to make sure he wasn't starring at him.
Jiraiya closed his eyes before opening them and looking at the Hokage monument. "I just received grave news… The Akatsuki has learned of Kurumi and fears her. They're going to try and collect him now before Kurumi's true power activates. And if the Uchiha fails this time… Their leader will be coming after Naruto personally."
Tsunade stood up with worry in her eyes as every ounce of liquor was instantly medically removed from her system. "No way… Why would they fear Kurumi so much… There is something you aren't telling me, isn't there Jiraiya."
The white haired pervert flinched before motioning the Anbu to pick up the two said jounin and bringing them here. Once the Anbu left, Jiraiya sighed before looking Tsunade in the eyes. "Before Minato sealed Kyuubi into Naruto and the heart, he realized that Kyuubi would break free of Naruto's seal on its own so he separated the fox from something else… It's power. All of the fox's power resides with that girl's heart."
"Kurumi put me down!" Naruto yelled as he was finally fed up with Kurumi's attitude.
Kurumi stopped just outside town and let her master down gently before looking at him. "What's wrong master?"
Growling out and grabbing his head, Naruto let out a few strings of curses as he calmed himself down. Once he did, he turned to Kurumi with his eyebrow twitching. "Kurumi, I was going to say this before you took me on your little joy ride and ignored my commands the entire way here, but I'm really beginning to wonder if you'll understand it!"
Kurumi flinched at Naruto's words and pulled away from him as she did not like where this was going. 'No… Master isn't going to…'
Taking a deep breath and regaining his composure once more, Naruto gripped Kurumi's hands and looked her in the eyes. "Kurumi, just like I told Saki, I'm going to tell to you. Don't force me to choose, okay. I don't know shit about love and I'm not even sure if that is what I'm beginning to feel for you. I know there is something for you as you're the first person that has given me so much love in such a brief time that it is almost smothering. Yet it makes me feel wanted…"
As he trailed off at the end, Kurumi's eyes had begun widening slowly and had reached their limit. Her entire body trembled before she released the loudest squeal to date as she hugged her master tightly to her chest. "Oh master! That's all I wanted to hear! Sure I won't make you choose as I know you want me! And I promise I'll start treating Saki like I was going to!"
The last part was kind of a surprise for Naruto, but he already figured that Kurumi had a preset plan for Saki and she was going to do her best to follow it. But something was bugging him and this town was very, very familiar. In fact he remembered it quite well as he ran into Sasuke's older brother and his fish faced partner here before running into Tsunade.
"Uzumaki-san, will you please come with us." An eerie voice echoed from behind Naruto and he instantly recognized the voice as Uchiha Itachi stepped out of the shadows with Kisame standing at his side. "I don't want this thing turning into a mess like last time."
Naruto: Okay, things are a getting out of hand!
Itachi: You've said it.
Naruto: RUN! IT'S ITACHI!
Itachi: Don't worry. I'm not going to capture you outside of the story.
Kurumi: No! No one but me touches master!
Saki: He's my master too Kurumi! (tackles Kurumi)
Itachi: …Well, that's something I didn't want to know.
Naruto: (sighs) Yeah, yeah. Don't you have a partner?
Itachi: He's doing the next chapter.
Kurumi: (grabs Saki's hair) No, he's mine!
Naruto: (groans) Perfect…
Itachi: (shrugs) Naruto and Kurumi learn they are no match for Kisame and myself. But that is only half the battle as a certain demon gets involved in the next chapter, Kyuubi's Unmatched Power!
Naruto: You're not very good with emotions, are you? That was completely emotionless.
Itachi: I had a very bleak upbringing; probably as bad as yours if not worse.
Naruto: Wow…
Saki: OW! I GIVE!
Itachi: …I guess I should finish this before blood is shed and I go psycho. For every reader that has read this chapter, review or black flames will engulf you a thousand times over. I'm done…
Naruto: …Damn, that was intense.
