AN: Hello, loyal readers! Welcome to chapter two of Mahou Sensei Kitsune!
To Siegfriedzz, you are correct in assuming that Makai is much larger than the human world. After all, Kyuubi and the other Bijuu were all pretty big themselves. This would, of course, lead to a rather skewed view of size. An island could be anything from the size of Hawaii to the size of Australia.
However, you are incorrect about Naruto's full demon form. After all, at some point it simply wouldn't be practical to get any bigger. Think of it like…the Menos-class hollows in Bleach. Hollows get bigger as they get older and stronger, until they evolve into Menos, which is the equivalent of the 'Demon Lord' class in Makai. Gillians (demon equivalent = Sukuna) are big, but stupid. Adjuchas (demon equivalent = Graf Wilhelm) are smaller but smarter, and more powerful. The Vasto Lorde are the smartest, most powerful, and most bad-ass of the hollows, but are only as big as an adult human (supposedly). Naruto would be a Vasto Lorde, his 'demon form' is small, but insanely powerful.
Remember, Kyuubi is still sealed inside of him. Kyuubi's youki is still feeding into Naruto, and Kyuubi himself is a Demon Lord, which means Naruto's growth rate would be exponentially higher than any other demon's.
Kotaro, and, to a lesser extent, Setsuna, will be able to better sense his powers, and their instincts would tell them to 'stay the fuck away', but neither really know enough about their demon heritage to know the ranking system and whatnot. Eva would be better informed, but still somewhat in the dark (only someone close to Naruto's level would be able to sense the full extent of his powers).
As for training, he's knowledgeable enough to teach everyone something. A long lost sword style, an energy focusing technique, or a demon ability that can be adapted to be used with magic or chi. 'Cause really, what could go wrong with teaching a ten year old uber-powerful demon techniques?

Chapter 2: Shrine Maidens and Handguns
After a night spent in his new apartment, which the dean was kind enough to supply, Naruto set out to more fully explore Mahora, rested and refreshed. He spent the morning milling about, taking in the various sights Shizuna had described to him the day before. Around noon, he stopped for lunch in the Plaza beneath the World Tree.
'Damn, that's a big tree! And I can practically smell the power it's radiating!' were his thoughts as he looked up at the massive landmark. 'The World Tree…if I remember correctly, it's supposed to be some sort of focal point for this world's flow of energy. I can see why the headmaster wants me around…something like that is bound to attract unwanted attention.'
Finishing his meal, Naruto stood up and stretched. 'Hmmm…I wonder, what should I do now? I've visited almost all the places Shizuna-san told me about.' Pausing to look around, he spotted a sign that had directions to the Tatsumiya Shrine. 'A Shinto shrine? Haven't visited one of those in years…guess I could always do the whole 'Evil-Demon-Terrorizing-The-Shrine-Maidens' bit. That's always a good workout. Plus, it's just plain funny watching them trying to 'exorcise' me.'
Having decided a course of action, he set off to find the shrine. A mere half-hour later, he arrived at the shrine gates. He stopped and took a moment to appraise the customary wards and evil-detection charms adorning the entryway. 'Hmm…not bad, but such wards wouldn't be very effective. At least, not against anything except low-class grunts.'
"Ah, well, guess I should go and introduce myself to the local miko. Hope she's cute."
Tatsumiya Mana was having a rare, slow day. There were no missions for the headmaster, no evil forces trying to attack the school, and she had decided to take a break from training to enjoy one of the last days before the new term. Just as she was preparing herself a nice cup of tea, the wards at the gate alerted her to a demon coming onto the grounds.
Lowering her cup to the table, she swore silently, cursing herself for jinxing her exceptionally good day. Sighing in irritation, she gathered her things and set out to confront the demon. 'And may the kami have mercy on his soul for ruining my good mood.'
Naruto stood in the temple's courtyard, taking in his surroundings and awaiting the imminent arrival of the temple's caretakers. He had leaked just enough youki while passing through the gates to alert them to his presence, so now it was just a matter of time.
Mana entered the courtyard and her attention was immediately drawn to the tall blonde standing with his back to her. At first glance, he was just your average twenty-something, 'albeit, a very good looking one.' However, her senses compelled her to take another look, and when she did so, she was almost overwhelmed by the power lurking beneath the surface. 'Such power! He's near Takahata-sensei's level!'
Deciding to make her presence known, though she suspected he already knew she was there, she drew her weapons, cleared her throat and spoke.
"Who are you, and what is your business here?"
The young and decidedly feminine voice had Naruto celebrating mentally. 'Yes, a priestess! And she sounds cute!' Turning to face the speaker, Naruto felt his jaw drop at the sight that greeted him. The girl was tall, had heavily tanned skin, long, dark, silky hair, and was carrying two handguns…it was like looking at Laura Croft in traditional Japanese clothing.
Her face was beautiful, her eyes a blue-green color, which surprisingly suited her, and the loose garbs of the traditional miko didn't entirely hide her well developed body. Naruto didn't know whether to be intimidated…or turned on. He was broken from his reverent appreciation of the miko's body by her voice.
"Speak! Why are you here?"
Naruto looked into her intense eyes, before smirking and replying, "Just taking in the sights, and I must say, the view here is…quite extraordinary."
Mana blushed slightly at the thinly veiled compliment, before frowning and readying her weapons. "If you have no business here, then be gone!"
"That's a nice pair you have there."
"W-what?!" she spluttered, blushing once more. "What are you talking about?!"
"Your weapons, of course. What did you think I was talking about?" Naruto smirked devilishly.
Mana scowled at him, still blushing. 'Why am I letting him get under my skin like this? Though, I wouldn't mind letting him get under my clothes- No! Bad thoughts!' She shook her head a bit. 'He must be doing something to me, distracting me, making me lose my focus!'
"Is there a problem, Miko-chan?" he inquired, still smirking. 'Maybe I should lay off the charm a bit. It's no fun when they throw themselves at me.'
"Foul demon! If you won't leave then I shall simply strike you down!" she growled out. She raised her guns to open fire, only to blink when she saw that he was no longer there.
"Hmm…M1911-A1, huh?" the demon's voice said from behind her. She whirled around, but he caught her wrists in a vice-like grip. "A nice solid weapon, though you seem to have customized them pretty heavily. Not just a pretty face, I see."
"Screw you!" she growled.
Naruto leaned in, leering at her. "Out here, in the open? My, didn't figure you to be the kinky type!"
That comment was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back, because the next thing he knew, he was doing his best to dodge the near-point blank gunfire. 'Crap, are those banishment rounds!? Those things hurt like hell!' Though the rounds wouldn't banish him, as he was a native of the human world, they could still do lot of damage if he got hit.
Mana was completely lost in her rage and fury. Naruto, however, was analyzing her combat abilities, and was quite impressed. 'She's a pretty good shot. And reloading in battle quickly enough to prevent your opponent from finding any openings is no mean feat. She's got some real-world experience.'
Deciding to end the fight before it went too far, Naruto blurred out of sight for a moment. Mana blinked then realized to things: firstly, her hands were empty, her weapons nowhere in sight. Secondly, there were a pair of muscular arms wrapped around her waist, a definitively masculine chest pressed against her back, and someone breathing down her neck. She blushed as she realized the demon was behind her, and currently nuzzling her hair.
Naruto inhaled the scent of the miko's hair, savoring it, before bring his mouth next to her ear, smirking when he felt her shiver at the low, husky whisper. "You know, if you keep trying to kill me, I might have to…punish you. Would you like that, Miko-chan?"
It took all of Mana's plentiful self discipline to keep herself from giving in and shouting 'yes!' She wasn't, however able to stop her body's…reaction to the demon's words. 'You can't let him do this, he's a demon! Pull it together, dammit!'
Sensing her resistance waning, Naruto chuckled lowly into her ear, eliciting another shiver from the miko. He leaned forward and whispered, "I have to go now, but I'll return, and when I do… we'll play some more." And then, he was gone.
Mana collapsed to her knees without his arms to support her. Breathing heavily, she took a few moments to gather herself. She stood, and took a moment to curse the demon, swearing to get back at him sometime in the future, while hoping she never saw him again.
'But first…I need a cold shower.'
Naruto, now heading back to his apartment to rest up for his 'not-date' with Shizuna, was in a good mood. 'I haven't had that much fun in a while! And she was quite a looker, too! Next time, I should definitely try and get her name.'
Arriving at his new home, he set about preparing for his weekend excursion. 'I'll spend the day with Shizuna tomorrow, and then I can use Sunday to tie up some loose ends around here before I settle in. I get the feeling I won't have much free time once term starts on Monday…'
Post Note: And chapter two is done! Naruto explores Mahora, and meets the first of his students, though neither of them realize it. Poor Mana's in for a nasty surprise on Monday!
Some people will probably complain about Mana being OOC. My answer to those complaints is this: Mana was caught off guard, both by Naruto's power and his personality. Added to that, is the fact that Naruto is a bit of a playboy in this fic (he's immortal, so he tries to keep people at arm's length, but, hey, a guy has needs), he enjoys seducing and flirting with beautiful women, and has had centuries to perfect his 'game'. It isn't 'super demon pheromones' or 'vampiric allure' or anything like that, rather it is something he learned to do through years of practice and observation. It's in the way he stands, the way he moves, the tone of voice he speaks in. All of it maximizes and capitalizes on his natural good looks, he practically oozes sexy. She never stood a chance.

Review, and all that jazz. Later!
