De-Raz: Happy Holidays Everybody! As a special after Christmas treat, I've got the newest chapter right here!

Naruto: Would've have made more sense to post it on Christmas, not after.

Me: Shut it orange jumpsuit boy.

Naruto: Hey! Orange is an awesome color. Right?

(Total silence except for crickets chirping in the background)

Me: As you can tell, nobody does. Now shut up and do the disclaimer!

Naruto: Whatever, anyways:

De-Raz Bomber does not own Naruto or Sailor Moon at all, otherwise Sakura wouldn't be such a violent bitch without reason. God don't we all wish that.

The first thing that the blonde haired shinobi realized as his eyes fluttered open was that he wasn't dead. Otherwise he wouldn't still feel sore from his battle with Sasuke. But still, he knew Kakashi had hit him with the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan, so if he wasn't dead, what happened? How long has he been out? And what happened to Sasuke?

As he was looking around the room, he noticed it was pretty plain, nothing more than a futon, a dresser, and two doors; one of which must be connected to a bathroom. Over the years of traveling with Jiraiya, he knew that this sparse kind of room was like those monasteries those weird monks seemed to like so much, and he knew there were none particularly close to Konoha. So who brought him here? Did Tsunade think he was a nukenin? Sure, Konoha wasn't the greatest place for him, but all his precious people were there, plus he had nowhere else to go.

Any of his further thoughts were put to a halt as a person walked into the room. He was an old man and pretty short, even slightly shorter than when he was 12. He was bald too, but had some fairly large eyebrows, but nothing like Fuzzy Brow's he mentally added relieved. The old man was wearing a white gi shirt with a blue hakama that on him just looked like a skirt.

"Ah, you finally woke up, how fortunate! You've been out for a while young man, what is your name?"

Naruto thought for a while, thinking this through. Okay, I have no idea if I am in hostile territory or not, no comrades around. But still, if there is anything I am good at is judging character, and this guy doesn't seem to be harboring false motives or ill intent. Of course, he might just not know who I am yet, so maybe I should lie just in case…

That was what he was going to do, but when he tried to speak found his voice was all raspy. The old man smiled as he handed out a glass of water to the blonde.

"Glad I got this for ya" the guy replied, before looking at him a bit strangely. "Bye the way kid, I was wondering why you wearing that headband for, especially on your arm, trying to make a fashion statement?"

At that question, Naruto looked at the man like he was crazy, his mind running a mile a minute. Wait a second, everybody in the Elemental Countries know what these are for, why wouldn't he?

"It's because I'm a ninja, of course! You know, using chakra to do super cool, sneaky stuff?"

The old man sweat dropped at the young boy's explanation. This boy must have gotten head trauma when whatever he did knocked him out.

"Sure boy; that there makes plenty of sense" the old man lied through his teeth, which Naruto caught easily. If anything, it bewildered him even more. But if there was anything Jiraiya and Kakashi taught him, it was how to solve these kinds of complicated problems. It really helped with his planning-on-the-fly type of strategy.

It's obvious he doesn't know what chakra is, and the little bastard doesn't even believe I'm a ninja! Now that is just insulting! But still, maybe this means I'm not in the Elemental Countries anymore. Kakashi never did try his Mangekyou's power on himself, for obvious reasons, so maybe he doesn't even know what it really does…That's it! It must have sent me to some other world or dimension or something! It's a teleporting jutsu! That is so fucking awesome; I'm the first inter-dimensional shinobi, I'm so badass!

Keeping composed on the outside even though his mind was going a mile a minute, Naruto asked "Okay, well anyways, can you tell me how I got here? And where is here?"

The old man looked at him skeptically. "Well, right now you're at my Hikawa Shrine right outside of Tokyo, Japan…" Yep, can't be my world, there's no such place as Japan Naruto confirmed with himself, "and my granddaughter found you out in the forest unconscious, so she brought you in here." Granddaughter huh, I know what Ero-sennin would do with that info.

"Well, thanks for the help old man."

"Don't be calling me an old man you little punk!" he said heatedly, making Naruto sweat drop. He calls me little when I'm twice his height, sounds pretty hypocritical.

"Anyways, I'm just going to go find that granddaughter of yours to thank her, so see ya later old man" Naruto replied as he ran out the door. The grandfather was still standing there seething.

Calls me old, does he…wait, he never even told me his name, snot-nosed kid!

"Come back here or you're gonna get lost!" yelled the shrine owner as he tried finding the blonde kid.

It was lucky for Naruto that the old guy had been able to catch him, though he had no idea how he could, seeing as how huge the place was. Though he wouldn't admit it, he probably would have gotten lost looking for her. It took about fifteen minutes of walking before Naruto was led to a nice sized door, which the old man said his granddaughter was hanging out with some of her friends. Naruto figured that was good, because being able to make friends in this world would make it a lot better until he found some way to get back home.

After the old man had left, saying he had charms to sell or something, Naruto had steeled himself before knocking on the door as he opened it.

Rei Hino has had strange days before. Being a Guardian Senshi like her friends, it is basically a requirement, seeing as how they fought monsters and used supernatural powers on a regular basis. But still, she's never found some teen unconscious but seemingly uninjured in the middle of the forest that she brings back to her grandfather's shrine before. The even stranger part is when the teen in question has whisker marks across his cheeks. At first she was worried he was some kind of youma, but remembered that the Negaverse was no more, so that couldn't be it.

He had slept that entire day, and she wasn't sure why. He didn't seem to have any injuries, but still hadn't awoken yet.

Today though, her friends, who were also Sailor Senshi had come over to hang out and talk about boys, school, things normal teens talked about.

She knew Usagi was so glad that they could have normal teenage lives again, at least for now, and to be honest Rei was glad for the break as well.

So they had talked while eating the food Makoto had brought for the afternoon, well mainly Usagi did, the little pig. The training miko couldn't help but wonder how her friend could eat so much and stay as skinny as she is, but it was always fun to joke about how much of a pig she is.

Their conversation was put to a stop however as somebody knocked on the door and opened it, revealing the blonde haired teen that she had found yesterday.

Naruto was looking into the room, that inside had five girls around his age talking and sitting around, along with two cats, one was a blackish purple and the other was a pure white.

But the strange part was the feeling he had looking at them. He has never seen them before, but they felt familiar as though he had. Feelings were stirring inside of him. But that was impossible seeing as this was a whole different world!

"Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto" he introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto."

All five of the Sailor Senshi looked at the newcomer. His blonde spikes stuck up around the top, but the edges were hanging around his head, the strange whisker marks around his cheeks, and his lean but muscular build told them all he worked out fervently.

But something strange that occurred to all five of them felt some thing familiar about him, and feelings like deep joy and grief. It was like meeting somebody they thought had died but was really alive. Ami, Minako and Makoto all felt like this, but Rei and Usagi were almost in tears. They both had the strange sudden urge to run up and hug him to death, but it disappeared before they could make full sense of it. But their eyes were still watery, even as Rei walked up to introduce them all.

"Hello Naruto, my name is Hino Rei, and these are my friends Tsukino Usagi, Mizuno Ami, Aino Minako, and Kino Makoto" she said as she pointed them all out. As she did, he took the time to get a good look at each of them.

Usagi was one of the two who stirred up this strange reaction the most, and she was a pretty girl with blue eyes similar to his own shade and long blonde hair that was up in buns and from those hung down in ponytails. It looked like she had yellow meatballs on her head. She said an enthusiastic 'hi!' to him, and he knew that they could get along already.

Ami had short, deep blue hair that was the same shade as her eyes, which were a darker blue than his own. She seemed like a nice girl if a little shy, and he thought she was a bit like Sakura by the fact she appeared a bit of a book worm. Sakura was always reading up on things during breaks at the hospital.

Minako, like Usagi and himself, had blonde hair that she kept long and free except for a large red bow, and looked at him with light blue eyes as if studying, but for what he couldn't tell. She too appeared nice and cheerful.

Makoto had brown hair she pulled back into a ponytail but left two long bangs on the sides of her face and brown eyes that looked at him curiously. Her body was slightly more muscular compared to the other girls but still beautifully feminine, so he guessed she worked out or maybe even taijutsu, but was the tomboy of the group.

The girl who introduced herself, Rei, was the other girl who stirred his feelings so much. When he looked into her black eyes, he felt so joyous but at the same time felt like crying, heck his eyes were already watery. It was incredibly strange to him, he's never really cried since his childhood, as tears have never done anything good for him. She was a black haired beauty in his opinion, her hair a midnight black that shined in the light of the room and her skin a perfect pale complexion.

Seeing the tears threatening to come down his eyes, Usagi decided to ask about it.

"Are you all right Naruto? You look ready to cry."

The other girls all noticed it at that point. Naruto rubbed his eyes a bit, and noticed that there was water on them.

"Strange. I don't even know why" he answered surprised, confusing all the occupants.

Ami decided getting to know more about him would be a good idea. "So now that you know all our names, what were you doing in the forest?" Ami asked first, as Rei and Naruto took seats. All the girls were waiting eagerly for his answer, expecting some strange or entertaining story.

"I have no idea."

The quick answer gave all of them sweat drops, even the two cats. Well, that was helpful all of them thought.

"Why do you have whiskers?" Usagi asked bluntly but innocently. The others were looking at her as if saying 'what kind of question is that?'

"No idea" the blonde answered cheerfully again, enlarging their sweat drops. At this point, the black cat had pulled itself onto his lap and looked as if analyzing him. This made the Senshi curious; Luna didn't usually do something like this with total strangers.

"And who is this little cat right here?" Naruto asked the girls.

Usagi was the one who answered, "Oh, that's my cat Luna. The white one over there is Minako's cat Artemis."

Naruto kept her in his lap as he pet her, and she seemed to enjoy the attention. This kid feels familiar for some reason, but I can't place why Luna thought to herself. Naruto also noticed the crescent moon on her forehead, and saw it on Artemis' as well.

No way! These cats have the same mark as that woman in my dream, or whatever it was! Maybe these girls know something about it!

"Say Usagi, why does your cat have a moon on its forehead?"

The girl in question looked a little nervous as she answered "Oh, well…her name is Luna so I just got her that as…an accessory, yep an accessory!"

"Then why does Artemis have it too?"

This time it was Minako who answered "I thought it'd be cute if they match, plus his name means moon too!" she said confidently, making the other Senshi sweat drop.

That was such a good cover story I don't know how he can see through that. Rei thought sarcastically, so she face faulted mentally when Naruto just said 'oh, I guess that makes sense.' Just like Usagi…that is not something i could deal with.

He knew Usagi was lying, but didn't want to pry. He hasn't exactly told much about himself either. Looks like I'll have to get them to trust me somehow.

"Do you think your parents are worried about where you are Naruto?" Ami asked.

Naruto flinched at the word 'parents.' They had always been a sore spot for him; one had died and the other died while at the same time destroying any chance of a normal happy future.

"I don't have any parents, or family at all for that matter."

"I'm sorry" the blue haired girl said, sad and embarrassed for stirring up those memories. The other Senshi looked down at the ground somberly. Naruto smiled sadly but reassuringly replying "Don't worry about apologizing, you didn't know. It doesn't really bother me anymore."

Before any more questions could be asked, a loud rumbling sound filled the ears of all the occupants, scaring Luna off Naruto as all the Senshi stood up.

"What was that, some kind of monster!?" Makoto yelled as they all looked around, until they saw Naruto rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"O, um, sorry about that…I guess I'm a little hungry." That is pretty weird...the first thing coming to her mind was a monster? I thought it'd be an earthquake or something…o well, must just be a good imagination or something.

"A little hungry? It sounded like there was a demon in your stomach or something." Minako asked sarcastically. It took all of the blonde's self control to not flinch visibly at that.

"Well anyways, do any of you know a place that serves ramen?"

"Oh, I do!" Usagi says cheerfully as she pulls the blonde teen off the couch. "I've never had it myself, but I've seen it around."

At that Naruto seemed completely frozen, looking at Usagi in shock. The girls were about to ask if something was wrong when…

"WHAT! YOU'VE NEVER HAD RAMEN BEFORE!" he yells shocked, hurting all their eardrums. "Okay that's it we are going there right now. This is a ramen emergency, come on Usagi!"

Before any of the others could follow, both of the blondes were already gone as Naruto had dragged her along, causing all of them to sweat drop.

"There is something about that boy" Luna said, turning the other Senshi's attention towards her.

"What do you mean Luna?" Ami asked the cat.

"What I mean is that there was something familiar about that boy. I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys about it."

"Now that you mention it, I felt it too, like I was both happy and sad to see him. I saw Rei was almost in tears" Minako added teasingly.

"I was not!" the black haired girl retorted heatedly.

"Yes you were!"

"I wasn't!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

Aren't the arguments supposed to be between Rei and Usagi? All of them thought with a sweat drop, before Luna interfered.

"STOP ARGUING!" she yelled, turning the two's attention back to Luna. "Either way, it'd probably be best if we were to keep an eye on him."

Minako nodded to herself, saying "Ok, keep an eye on Rei's possible future boyfriend, got it."

"What are you talking about!? Who said anything about that?" Rei yelled angrily, though an imperceptible blush was creeping on her cheeks.

"Aw come on Rei, finding a strange boy out in the forest and nursing him back to health, it's totally romantic. And as the Senshi of Love, I will not let you ruin this chance!" Minako finished in a cool pose, but just made all the occupants sweat drop and Rei's eey to twitch violently in annoyance.

"Come on, let's go find those two before Meatball Head eats the place out" Rei finished, leaving with the other Guardian Senshi, leaving the two cats at the Shrine.

"So, is the boy really all that interesting Luna?" Artemis asked as he walked next to her.

"Yes, I'm sure he is…when he saw my moon symbol, I noticed shock and recognition in his eyes, like he's seen it before. Though I still have no idea how…"

Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Minako were walking along in the downtown Juban District, where they thought Usagi had shown Naruto the ramen stand not too far away from the Crown Game Center.

When they got there, they saw all of the other restaurant's occupants staring wide eyed at the display before them, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

It wasn't the fact that Usagi had eaten about 20 bowls of ramen, they were used to her gigantic appetite; it was something Rei and Usagi had more than their share of fights over.

The amazing part was that Naruto had thirty bowls stacked by his seat and was still going. The owner was looking at the blonde with money signs for eyes, daydreams about the massive profit this young man could give him.

"Kid, you are definitely my number 1 customer now!"

Naruto at least had the decency to finish his mouthful before thanking him.

After both the blondes were done, Usagi had finished 25 bowls while Naruto had eaten a whopping 40 bowls! They couldn't help but think Oh no! He's just like Usagi!

"Hey there Rei, Ami, Minako, Makoto! What took you guys so long?"

"You left us behind!" Rei yelled at him. Naruto rubbed the back of his head as an apologetic smile crossed his face.

"O right, sorry about that. But Usagi really needed to know how great ramen is. It was always a childhood favorite of mine, and reminds me of two people important to me. In the face of ramen, I really can't help but go a little crazy. So is it good Usagi?" he finished, turning towards the bun-headed blonde sitting next to him.

"It was great Naruto, but not as good as Makoto's cookies. Plus I feel like I ate too much." she piped up, not looking totally good.

"Eating like a pig as usual, Meatball Head" Rei said.

"I AM NOT A MEATBALL HEAD!" Usagi yelled angrily.

"YES YOU ARE MEATBALL HEAD!"

"FIRE WITCH!"

"MEATBALL BRAINS!"

"PYROMANIAC!"

"MEATBALL HEAD!"

"I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?"

"A MEATBALL HEAD!"

The two then proceeded to blow raspberries at each other, making all the occupants sweat drop.

It was Ami who spoke up, seeing as Luna wasn't there to stop their argument. "Well, what should we do now, you guys?"

"I know, let's head towards Crown Game Center!" Usagi said cheerfully as if nothing had happened, enlarging everyone's sweat drops.

"What's that place?" Naruto asked confused.

"O, it's just an arcade. You know, you go there and play video games. We go there all the time!" Usagi said.

"Arcade…? Video Games…?" the blonde asked confused. He never heard of these before in the Elemental Countries, though they sounded like fun.

So now we go through the whole panic attack scene, though this time Usagi was dragging Naruto away. Man do they act alike the other Guardians couldn't help but think as they followed along.

The whole day had been spent showing Naruto around Tokyo, getting the notion he didn't know where he really was, though they had no idea why.

Naruto was lying on a bed in the shrine room he had been in just that morning; Rei had been kind enough to let him use it as long as he helped keep the grounds clean. The blonde haired shinobi was still mulling over what he had to admit was an incredibly good day. When all the girls went to that Crown Game Center, he had met a kind worker the girls knew well called Motoki. The blonde also had the extra treat of discovering the fun of video games. He spent plenty of time playing all the girls at different games, losing most of the time but got a win every once in a while.

As they showed him around the city, he realized people didn't seem to have any chakra, but they easily made it up with their superior technology. Some of the buildings were as tall as the freaking Hokage Mountain, maybe more! Then there were those four wheeled devices called cars, which were unbelievably faster than any horse-powered cart. There were also two wheeled bikes that people used when they weren't walking or driving a car.

Hanging out with the five teenage girls he met had been quite enjoyable as well (plus he knew Jiraiya would have been plenty jealous not being in his place); he had never felt so relaxed before. Hanging out with them all for the day, he had learned a little bit more about each of them.

Ami, the blue haired girl, could easily be identified as the smart scholarly girl. She had always carried a laptop, which was like some sort of mobile computer, and thought things out logically. She had been the one to reveal, to Naruto's hidden horror, that they went to school at their age and that they had it tomorrow. Much to Naruto's surprised pleasure, Usagi had whined about her own reluctance for school the next day.

That steered his thoughts to the bun haired blonde. The more he thought about it, the more Naruto realized that Usagi was kind of like him. They both had huge appetites, blond hair, blue eyes, and she fought with Rei like he used to with Sasuke. He entertained the thought of them being related for a second before quickly shutting that down. Like such a girl could be related to a demon. Usagi was an overly caring girl that seemed able to show empathy to even complete strangers; he was an excellent example of that. Plus, it was hard to get her down with anything for too long, since even fights with Rei seemed more routine and playful than actual arguments. There was definitely a feeling of something, but was buried deep in his mind, almost unnoticeable.

Minako was the other blonde haired girl of the group of five. She was also a cheerful but resilient teen, and definitely liked shopping; she would not take no for an answer when he tried protesting to the idea of buying regular clothes. He was glad they didn't ask why he was wearing such strange clothes in the first place. All five girls had been in for a treat as he was trying out different sets; unlike his shinobi attired these clung a bit tighter to his skin, exposing his finely toned sculptured body to the world. All of them had been blushing heavily except Usagi, so he guessed there was already a boy she liked, but for some reason Naruto felt the most smugly satisfied to notice Rei's flushed cheeks. All the girls made certain he purchase those clothes with none too subtle threats.

The blonde was just glad both worlds' currency was basically the same; trying to explain why he has different money would have been too troublesome as Shikamaru would say.

The fourth girl was the brunette Makoto; she was a definite tomboy if he had ever seen one. The way she carried herself he could tell she was a fighter; he would have to ask for a spar one of these days. But the strange thing is how feminine she could be as well; Usagi had continuously praised Makoto's cooking whenever the topic came to food and also enjoyed shopping like Minako though more secretly.

Finally, there was the midnight-haired Rei. She was beautiful but also unique compared to the other girls. She was a fiery girl who easily got into arguments with Usagi for some stupid or foolish thing she did, but he could tell she really cared for all the girls. Rei was unique as she worked as a miko, who was apparently more in fine tune with the spirits, and they said she even had visions sometimes. At first he was worried she could sense the Kyuubi in him, and was glad when she didn't seem to or just not react.

The other girls had thought he would think she was weird or something because of her psychic powers, and it was obvious had happened plenty of times when he saw Rei's look in her eyes. She had kept it well hidden, but he had seen that look on his eyes every day as a child in the mirror, and could spot it effortlessly. Being known to that kind of thing himself, he wanted to assuage her fears immediately. Then he remembered her blush at his toned physique, and he got an incredibly mischievous if flirtatious idea.

He remembered his response was 'How could I think a beautiful girl like you is weird just for being gifted with something unique? If anything, it just makes all the more attractive being unlike other girls.' He thought with finality that that had definitely made his day as the blonde remembered Rei couldn't even look straight at him without blushing for the rest of the day. The midnight haired girl something Minako and Usagi was quick to tease her with, leading to more arguments. Whenever he was around her, there was something in his chest he couldn't really place, and there was always something in the back of his mind, and it wasn't Kyuubi. It was as if he had forgotten some incredibly important detail that was just trying to surface, but wasn't able to.

Naruto was really at a loss. In Konoha, not even his friends actively sought him out for company, if they met him they'd just hang out. These five girls didn't have to do what they did, heck they didn't even know much about him but enjoyed his company like he was a long time friend…like he was completely normal.

For them to be so kind and trusting would be utter foolishness in his world, but in a way was glad such foolishness thrived here. But then again, they didn't know he was a shinobi, somebody trained as a child to kill, and containing an evil demon of unimaginable power. In Konohagakure, everybody around him, no matter how close, had a slight wariness in their eyes, so slight it would be almost unnoticeable to a passerby. All of those close to him didn't see him as a demon, but it didn't mean they weren't slightly scared of him. His friends have seen what he could do using Kyuubi's power, and every time they were scared of him. They saw his red eyes, and immediately thought it was Kyuubi trying to take over, not him. He could tell it in their eyes.

It was obvious something like ninja did not exist in this world, so what would they think if they heard the things he's done? They'd think of him like some kind of monster, even without knowing about the Kyuubi. Their friendship and kindness was something he didn't deserve.

At least it wouldn't take much to lie until I return home the blonde thought as he lay down on the bed. He had to find some way of doing it before they found out anything about him. Images of them with angry scowls, eyes of hatred and/or disgust aimed at him felt more painful to just think about then he thought it should.

The Akatsuki Leader was looking over the city of Amegakure, the city pouring with rain of his own creation, his black cloak with red clouds rustling in the wind. He was the self proclaimed leader who ruled unchallenged after the defeat of Hanzo; the people have proclaimed him a god. He thought back to the report Zetsu had given him in terms to the fate of the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, the move Hatake used with his Mangekyou.

"Pein, what is the news of the Kyuubi?"

The Leader, now recognized as Pein, turned around to view the new speaker, the ringed irises of his Rin'negan proudly exposed. All of the man's features were covered by the same cloak all the Akatsuki wore; even his face was covered by a mask with orange and black swirls. Only his hair and his right eye were exposed, both as black as the raven's feathers.

"After the Kyuubi had defeated the Uchiha, Hatake attempted to use a power of the Mangekyou that completely destroys a person's molecules to kill the Uchiha, but the Jinchuuriki took the hit. How are we to gather the final bijuu now?" The whole time of his explanation, Pein's voice did not expose any emotion almost as if he didn't care.

"Yes, that would be a problem if that ability completely destroyed a person like Hatake thinks. But, I know of that power of the Mangekyou and what it is truly capable of."

Pein did not show any reaction, but gave a clear signal to continue.

"The Sunpou Kujiku (Dimension Break) is a power of the Sharingan that even after achieving the Mangekyou the user must train and find a way to unlock it. Even I was impressed that Hatake was able to use it as the major attribute of his Mangekyou, though he couldn't use the other two powers. The name of the power describes it quite well; the target of the technique is literally able to break into other dimensions, though it is hard to gain any sense of control of where you want to go. It also takes about as much chakra as Amaterasu and Tsukyomi combined, making it unsuitable for the heat of battle."

"So how are we to follow the Kyuubi, Madara-sama?"

The now named person Madara looked at Pein, the person he had put in charge of his organization, as his once black eye changed into a crimson red with a black 3 bladed shuriken as the pupil, a sure sign of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

His voice reverberated arrogance and pride, but held an undertone of power that gave off good enough reason to be so. "I would not be a good founder of the Uchiha clan, original Sharingan wielder without being able to know all of my doujutsu's secrets, now would I?"

At Juuban High School, a certain Usagi Tsukino was sitting at her desk, her face studying the upright book as she listened to the teacher's lectures.

At least, from the teacher's point of view it seemed that way.

People behind her, however, saw the bun-haired blonde asleep on her desk in boredom. One of them was Ami Mizuno.

The blue haired girl just sighed exasperated with Usagi's reluctance for school and studies; class only started about two hours ago. It had been that way ever since she'd met Usagi, and it wasn't feasible it'd end any time soon. Though, even Ami had to admit she was more than a little distracted from the teacher's lectures; her thoughts kept leading to the blonde teen they met yesterday, Naruto.

As she replayed yesterday in her head, Ami realized they really didn't know much about Naruto's origins, he had skillfully avoided any discussions about it. They didn't know where he came from, why he was unconscious in the forest, why he was there in the first place, or even if he was going to this school. The only thing they did know was that he was an orphan who didn't even know who his parents were until he was sixteen.

Her train of thought, and the instructor's lecture, was interrupted by a few knocks on the door. She couldn't see who it was as the teacher answered, but she didn't need to as the figure stepped inside.

"Class" the teacher said to garner their attention "it appears we have a new student joining us. Please welcome mister…"

The blonde teen answered "Naruto Uzumaki. I hope to have n enjoyable year with all of you." He was wearing the customary boy's issued uniform, but the jacket was unbuttoned at the collar giving tiniest peek to his toned chest covered by a white undershirt, though you could already tell he had a fine sculpted body. Coupled with his tall height, a handsome face armed with a charming smile, and his whisker marks creating an enigma charm around him, Ami realized there'd be a Naruto fan-club by the end of the day. The class full of blushing girls only confirmed her suspicions.

"Yes, well, now we need to get you a seat" the teacher said, looking for a place.

"He can sit by me!"

"No, over here Naruto-kun!"

"He should sit here!"

Like Ami predicted, all the girls wanted to sit by the mysterious blonde haired Adonis.

The teacher, if he noticed all the girls didn't show it, finally said "Ah yes! There's an open seat right next to Usagi for you Naruto!"

Naruto replied politely "Thank you" before taking the mentioned desk. Ami saw him wake her up to say hi, which she replied with an energetic hug, drawing jealous glares from the other girls in class.

This might as fun as studying the blue haired girl said to herself, smiling slightly the whole time.

When the lunch bell rang, Usagi led Naruto with Ami in tow in the direction of the table Minako and Makoto were already sitting.

The two girls saw their friends Usagi and Ami walking towards them, but weren't expecting the guy they met yesterday to be with them too.

"Hey Naruto, what are you doing here?!" Minako asked happily as the three sat down with her and Makoto.

"O, I just transferred here" he answered. He was looking around the lunchroom as if searching for something.

"Hey Naruto, what are you looking for?" Makoto voiced the girls' question.

"Well, isn't Rei going to join us for lunch?"

"You didn't know?" Ami asked, "Rei goes to a different school, a Catholic private school."

"O" Naruto said, there was a faint hint of disappointment, though even he didn't know where it came from. Minako, however, picked up on it, a mischievous smirk on her face.

"What is it, Naruto? Disappointed that you're girlfriend isn't here?" the blonde girl asked, the attention of all four girls on the blonde's reaction. They were expecting him to blush and stutter a denial or something.

"Disappointed she isn't here yes, but she is not my girlfriend or anything like that at all…no girl would love a demon" Naruto added mentally, though his vocal reply had a slight edge to it as if speaking of a bitter topic.

However, before anyone could ponder about his response, a young teen wearing glasses popped up next to Usagi, saying a quick 'hello' which made her scream in surprise, effectively cutting away any tension.

"Umino! What are you doing here?!"

"Hello, Usagi, I just came by to say hello. Have you heard the latest gossip about the new guy with some strange marks on his face here?"

"Umm, Umino…he's sitting right here" Usagi replied, motioning to the blonde that was looking at the newcomer curiously. Umino saw him as he blushed, a little embarrassed.

"O!" the boy replied, adjusting his glasses, "Sorry, I didn't see you there."

"It's no problem…but what are people saying about me?" Naruto asked with a smile.

Umino replied, "I'd be careful if I were you Naruto-san…plenty of girls are creating an 'I love Naruto' fan club."

"Well, thank you for the news Umino, I really appreciate it" the blonde replied, his face armed with a charming smile that was making the other girls around the lunchroom blush, even a small bit from his newest acquaintances sitting with him.

Wow, who would have thought Jiraiya's advice on attracting girls could actually be useful if I avoided the perverted parts? He thought chuckling to himself mentally, seeing the reactions of all the girls in the room, and the jealous glares sent his way by the guys. If Jiraiya could see me now, he'd be congratulating me for sure...

"Oh, no problem Naruto-san…now if you'll excuse me, Naru is probably searching for me again. Goodbye Usagi!" he said as he left the four girls and one boy.

For the rest of lunch they ate and had light conversation until it was time for class again, as they went their separate ways.

The rest of the week had been pretty average after that, though four out of five Inner Senshi had to deal with watching Naruto skillfully dodge fangirls' attempts to get him on a date. It was always entertaining to what he did, and even Usagi stayed awake in class to see if anyone tried then.

After school, they would meet with Rei somewhere, usually at her grandfather's shrine, to hang out or do homework. The girls, except Rei, noticed how Naruto would switch his focus to the midnight-haired girl oh so subtly. Minako would make jokes about Naruto wanting to ask her out, which he'd reply with a stern unflinching denial every time.

Finally the end of the week arrived, and as it was Saturday, the girls planned to hang out at the mall to find something to do, bringing their newest friend Naruto along.

As they were walking through the shops, however, Rei couldn't help but get a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. She had learned to trust these feelings, chalking them up to her psychic abilities, and worried about what bad thing was going to occur. The midnight haired girl had told the other girls, and though they were a little more alert now, they still weren't as worried as Rei. What bad thing could happen today?

"So, what should we do now? I think we should go get some lunch."

"Okay, but no ramen Naruto" Makoto added looking towards the mentioned blonde. He just shrugged nonchalantly as he replied.

"Sure, I think that we should-"

Before he could finish though, there was the sound of a loud crash from another area of the mall, and they soon noticed the crowds of people rushing by as they headed to the exits.

"Hey sir, what's going on?" Usagi asked a man running by them and were lucky enough for him to stop and explain.

"I don't know! Out of nowhere some huge monster thing appeared and started destroying everything and grabbing people! I don't know about you but I plan on getting out of here!" the person yelled panicked as he continued with the throngs of civilians.

They had all been surprised by the man's explanation; the girls because it sounded similar to the youma of the Dark Kingdom, even though they had defeated them a long ago. Naruto was surprised by the fact something like that existed in this world, it made this place a bit more interesting.

Usagi, Makoto, Minako, Rei, and Ami were thinking of a way to get Naruto out of here so they could go into the Senshi modes, but before they could the group heard loud sounds approaching them. It sounded like really heavy footsteps, but they couldn't see anything around them.

Until, that is, they spun around to the sound of a loud roar.

Behind them was a huge dark purplish creature, maybe near twenty feet tall. All of it had bulging muscles, but even more so around its arms. Its black eyes stared crazily at them, and it had two horns jutting out from its forehead.

"MORE ENERGY FOR THE QUEEN!" the beast yelled, driving a fist towards the group. It was too sudden for any of the girls to dodge or even put up some kind of defense.

They didn't have to, however, as Naruto stepped in front of them all and took the hit, sending him flying into one of the stores.

"NARUTO!" all five of them yelled worriedly, Usagi and Rei a little bit more. They couldn't rush in his direction, however, as the monster appeared in front of them again.

"YOUR ENERGY IS NOW THE QUEEN'S!" it yelled again, though this time they were able to react, dodging the punch as it crashed against the ground. They were amazed at the fairly large crater it made, not including the cracks that jutted out from it.

"Oh no! If that thing's punch could do that, then do you think Naruto is…"Usagi said worriedly. The blonde was becoming a good friend, and she hadn't even gotten to introduce him to Mamoru yet.

"We can't worry about him right now Usagi! We need to get rid of this thing first!" Rei yelled, dodging another attack.

"Okay, its time to transform!"

"MARS STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" Rei yelled.

"MERCURY STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" Ami yelled.

"VENUS STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" Minako yelled.

"JUPITER STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" Makoto yelled.

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP!" Usagi yelled.

Standing where the five girls had been before was now five Sailor Senshi. Their uniforms were mostly white leotards with gloves and skirts skirts, though they were each decorated with a certain color for each girl. They also each had a headband and a collar like necklace as extra accessories.

"Youma, you hurt my friends and the innocent…In the name of the moon I will punish you!" Usagi taunted as the girls took fighting stances.
