-Start Chapter-
It was a bright late summer day as a little over two and a half months had passed since the SFIT showcase and classes had started again. Tadashi was showing no signs of improving, and the doctors had started giving their estimates in days, causing Hiro's mood to sour even more. The rest of the team were faring a little better, as they attended their classes trying to keep their minds occupied.
The group would often visit the hospital together, before heading to the Lucky Cat Cafe to talk with Cass and check on Hiro, who had declined joining the school. Of all of them Hiro had been taking Tadashi's situation the hardest. Locking himself in his room and refusing to eat much at all.
But no one really blamed him. All the students at SFIT were still mourning the loss of Professor Callaghan, but where he had been gone in an instant, Tadashi was still alive. It didn't help that the school had all but said that Tadashi was dead. Having his workshop emptied of all equipment, and any project he had been working on, including Baymax, moved to his house. Specifically into his and Hiro's room.
Many of the students had lodged complaints over what was seen as the ransacking of their not yet dead friends workspace, but all were ignored. It was only after the room had been completely emptied, that someone came up with a plan. And while it was too late to stop anything, the next morning found the old couch that Naruto slept on at night, missing from its location next to Fred's recliner and now sitting in the middle of the cleared out room. With Naruto claiming the room as his to at least saved Tadashi's workspace from being turned into a storage room. If nothing else they planned to give it to Hiro when he showed up.
And it was the fact that Hiro still hadn't shown up that worried them the most. School had been going for awhile now and Hiro had yet to show up to class or even the school. The group had gotten into the habit of sending a video to Hiro, every few days or so, to try and cheer him up. They had tried going in person but Hiro started locking his door, and when school started they didn't have as much time as they wanted.
If there was one good thing that had happened since the fire it was that Naruto was not only released from the hospital, but also given a clean bill of health. Although truthfully the medical staff believed that they were releasing him too early, but no one could find anything wrong with him.
So here the group was gathered around the newly added couch to Tadashi's workshop. Naruto was being forced to lay down by GoGo and Honey, who were worried about him. Even if they knew he healed faster none of them really felt relaxed, due in part to their own resident medic being gone.
Sitting on the edge of the couch beside Naruto's legs was GoGo, who was doing calculations on a piece of scratch paper. Fred had propped himself in a corner while reading a comic book as Wasabi swept the floors for what must have been the tenth time. And off to the side the quiet chime of Honey's phone told everyone the video they just recorded had been sent to Hiro.
Giving a soft smile, Honey moved towards the couch and took a seat on the edge, next to Naruto's chest. Choosing to ignore the small glare from GoGo, Honey began surfing the internet on her phone hoping to find something that would distract her. And as luck would have it, a while later an advertisement for an end of summer swimsuit sale did bring a few thoughts to mind. Most involving the blonde behind her, and not all of them pure.
"Hey guys," she called breaking the silence of the room, while Naruto sat up and the others turned towards her direction, "What do you think of going to the beach next weekend?"
"Like an end of summer trip?" Fred asked from his corner.
"Yeah! We could invite Hiro and try to cheer him up," Honey said enthusiastically.
"I'm sure he could use the fun. Even if it's just enough to get his mind off what's happening," Naruto called out.
The rest of the group began to nod and give their own acknowledgment to the plan. It was only as GoGo caught sight of Honey's phone and the advertised sale that things took a turn for the interesting.
"Of course if we do go, we will need to buy new swimsuits," GoGo said with an blatant look towards Naruto.
The now blushing blond could only stutter out a simple "what" as he tried to back off the couch he had been lying on. Unfortunately for him, Honey caught on and leaned back pinning his body between her and the couch. Before she looked back to her phone for the location of the store she would be taking Naruto to. And GoGo she supposed.
Naruto meanwhile was busy trying to keep his face from exploding as his blush deepened. While the thought of both the girls in titillating bikinis had initially made his face darken, it was his foiled escape attempt that was pushing him towards dangerous territory. Since Honey had moved back to pin him in place she had "accidentally" caught his hand at her waist. In fact from where Naruto's hand was all he had to do if he wanted to cop a feel of Honey's firm rear would be to turn his hand.
Of course Naruto was trying to keep such thoughts out of his head. So had instead looked farther down the couch, where GoGo's admittedly larger rear end was sitting against his leg. The fact that her pants were stretching across her curvaceous form as she leaned forward to look at Honey's phone was also not helping his libido decrease.
However Naruto's self restraint was tested further as GoGo was now staring at the two piece suits that Honey had been looking at. And the biking enthusiast was not going to let an opportunity to tease her friend in front of their mutual interest go that easily.
"So Honey, thinking about getting a bikini to show off your tattoos?" GoGo pried in as sweet a voice as she could muster. "Maybe finally show why your nickname is Honey Lemon." The results were instantaneous.
Where Honey had been perusing smaller and smaller two pieces, she was now holding her phone behind her back and was trying desperately to cover the small of her back. Where, just above her ass rested the image of a smiling cat's face. Her other hand had snaked down to her left hip where the source of her nickname rested. A single lemon.
As Honey turned to try and dissuade GoGo from continuing that line of conversation, her back and subsequently the screen of her phone were now pointed at Naruto, who could now see what she had been looking at.
While the rest of the group, much to Honey's dismay, where now holding a conversation as Fred yelled out that he had always wondered where her nickname came from since he didn't give it to her like he had everyone else. He had always thought that it was from all the yellow she wore, despite pink being her favorite color.
GoGo's whispered comment about the taller girl needing a lemon tattoo in order to balance out her sweetness, was met with a glare from said woman. And awe from the odd blond boy not on the couch.
Wasabi, while showing an interest, was busy keeping Fred from doing anything weird. Which Fred was in the process of, by trying to get his shirt off so Honey could point on him where her tattoo was. Thankfully Wasabi kept the beanie wearers shirt on, as Honey tried to hide her mortified face while keeping her tattoos, already hidden by her clothes, covered with her hands.
And throughout all of this Naruto had remained quiet as his eyes stayed glued to the screen of Honey's phone. The images of scantily clad women lounging on the beach were replaced by images of his own female friends.
One girl sitting on a rock with long blond hair and tall thin body made her unmistakable. In the background the surf crested as the swell of her hips gave way to one long leg held tightly between her perky orbs. A pair of lips, highlighted pink, rested just above the knee, held in a teasing smirk that was only betrayed by the fierce knowledgeable look in her eyes. Her other leg hanging languidly in the water, making small ripples with her lithe toes, as the snug two piece she wore clung to her body giving a tantalizing peak at what lay beneath the thin cloth.
A blur of motion caused the image to change to a new girl. She was lying in the surf with her arms propping her up, accentuating her chest. The sun setting behind her, as beams of light were caught in her raven hair and lit up her face where a single lock of royal purple seemed to rest against her forehead. While the receding water left her body covered in a wet sheen.
The yellow pieces of triangular fabric seemed impossibly small, clinging to the woman's chest, leaving nothing to the imagination as a pair of stiff nubs showed through the fabric. A pair of jean short shorts with the fly and button left undone sat loosely on her hips, fully open to show the thin piece of material that comprised the bottom half of her swim wear. It was cut so low that if a strong enough wave were to push against it the piece of clothing would might find its way farther down her strong legs, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination.
A twisting motion and the scene changed to both of the girls side by side. The tall thin blond with her tresses draped over one shoulder, was molded into the side of the petite but more curvaceous dark haired girl. The moon light high above them giving an almost ethereal glow to their forms as they held each other in an embrace, leaving only enough room between themselves to entice who they were looking at to come and join them for their midnight swim.
The scene was broken by the sound of a dull ringing as the image flew away, leaving unseen the final image of one last person. Not a girl but instead a woman, her feather brown hair framing her face, showing the confidence that has come from years of living. Her full curves pressing against the tight one-piece swim suit she wore, showing her maturity. The kind of woman one might meet at a coffee shop and fall madly in love with.
Sadly not only had the picture moved out of Naruto's field of view before he could see this third girl, but he had already passed out with the images of who he would swear were the two girls keeping him on the couch, posing in various states of dress.
Back in the land of reality Honey Lemon had been deflecting comments from her friends. From having to shift her arm slightly to full on twisting her body to look at GoGo, she had been busy up until her phone had begun ringing to signal a message. Thankfully the noise seemed to have also calmed everyone else down as she pulled her phone from behind her back to see who could be sending her a message. What she saw made her extremely happy but confused.
"Hey guys," she called out, "You might want to see this, I just got a message from Tadashi." At her words all those present, who were conscious, began crowding around the tall blond even further. Once everyone was gathered, except for a sweetly dreaming blonde, Honey began to read off the strangely robotic message.
It started with a request to "physically come to Hiro" to heal his emotional pain. This was followed by a brief overview of Hiro, his current vitals, and other things that only someone with medical training would understand. Needless to say that the group of young adults, while fully understanding the request, where confused about who sent the message and why it was worded so weirdly.
Fred's answer of Tadashi being brought out of his coma by being turned into a cyborg, so he had to speak like a robot, was quickly shot down. As were his follow up theories on brain transplanted robots, Tadashi's apparent super power of techno-telepathy, zombies, and ghosts (cue unconscious shudder from an unconscious Naruto). It was only at Wasabi's suggestion of Baymax having access to his creators accounts, that things began clicking together for them.
Unfortunately before they could rush off to the cafe, where their friend undoubtedly was, the bell rang to announce that evening classes would be starting soon. Leaving three students and a mascot, staring at each other before collectively sighing. Light conversation resumed as the group began to quickly gather their stuff from around the lab. An agreement was quickly made to meet after class and drive to the cafe, and go invite Hiro to the beach but now for his emotional health as well as cheering him up.
Wasabi, being as organized as he is, was the first out the door, stating that he needed to stock up on sunscreen before their trip to the beach. Fred was next to leave, heading towards the gym for a game he needed to mascot for. Which would delay their trip to the cafe even more.
The girls were left alone with a now discovered to be unconscious Naruto. Who was only given a comment about how everyone knew he was still recovering, and a blanket over his form.
Honey having gathered her supplies picked her phone up from where she had put it down, and closed out the message from Baymax. Upon returning to the previous page of swimsuits that she had been looking at she found herself frozen at the sight of some truly daring pieces. Thankfully GoGo was their to help.
"Wow, Honey didn't know you were that bold," served as a good comment from the more petite of the two girls to snap the other back to reality.
And snap she did as the tall girl began to juggle her phone in shock as she began to babel about how she hadn't been looking at anything like that, and how the pictures must have changed when she put her phone behind her back. Which Honey began pointing out was GoGo's fault for talking about her tattoos.
"I only told them about the lemon tattoo," GoGo said in her defense, "I could have mentioned your other one."
Honey's hand once again found itself on the small of her back, just above her shapely rear.
"Seriously, Honey woman up," GoGo started as she popped a gum bubble at the blond, "You decided to have a tiny act of rebellion and get two small tattoos, that no one, but me, has seen since you always wear those long shirts that go down to your hips."
Said blond had the decency to blush at the dark haired girl's words.
"If you keep on being so shy it'll almost be too easy to get the first date with Naruto," GoGo said as she reached up to give a hard pat to the taller girl's shoulder. "And since he's the only one that's faster than me, when I do catch him I fully intend on never letting go."
A sly smile later and GoGo was out the door, with a somewhat fuming Honey Lemon after. The chemist only stopping at the door to turn out the lights for the the still unconscious Naruto.
*break*
It was a few hours later, as night fully descended onto the city of San Fransokyo, that the three students, one mascot, and human lab rat, after being told what was going on, all crammed into Wasabi's car for the drive over to the Lucky Cat Cafe. But before they could park, Naruto's keen eyes caught sight of Hiro and what he thought was Baymax leaving through the garage lab that they had used to make the microbots. A quick turn and the group were after the duo.
Driving down side streets and back alleys Wasabi carefully followed after the ex-bot fighter and nurse bot to wherever the two were headed. It was only as Hiro slipped down a narrow walkway towards an old warehouse that the group lost him for a few minutes. Thankfully they were able to catch up with him on the other side, just in time to watch the young genius begin to walk around erratically, as he followed something in his hands.
With a little patience the group eventually came upon Hiro, leaning against a shipping crate on one of the docks, and Baymax, in what looked like body armor, where the two looked to be ready for something. And whatever that was, they were going to find out as they confronted their friend.
"Hiro, what are you doing out here at night dude," Wasabi asked choosing to ignore Hiro's cries for them to leave. "And is that Baymax?"
"Why is he wearing carbon fiber underpants?" GoGo asked moving up to the robotic nurse, who was indeed covered with a black and green suit of armor that covered his entire body. The robot's response to also knowing karate raised more questions for the group about what the ex-bot fighter's plans for being out in the middle of the night were. With one final push form Hiro for them to go away, Honey moved forward from the back, where she had been standing next to Naruto, and placed her hands on the youth's shoulders to try and comfort him.
"Please, Hiro don't push us away," Honey pleaded with the youth, "Baymax contacted us to help you heal, that's why we're here."
"Those who suffer a loss require support from loved ones and friends" Baymax chimed in, as the robot toddled forward. "Who would like to share their feelings first?" the robot asked, getting an almost instant response from the ever energetic Fred, who moved towards the middle of what was now a sharing circle.
"My name is Fred," the beanie wearer started off, "And it has been 30 days since I last... Holy mother of Megazon" The blond yelled as he turned towards what looked like a shadow, picking up a shipping container to reveal a man wearing a black trench coat and a kabuki mask who was only illuminated by one to the few light poles on the dock.
Honey in a state of shock smoothly pulled her phone from her bag, and quickly snapped a photo as if her mind was on autopilot. The yellow eyes of the mask seemed to glow against the flash of the camera, as the man lifted his arm while the shadows followed his movements and raised the cargo box and began to bring it down onto the group to squish them.
Thankfully not only was there a robot capable of stopping the container from squishing everyone, but there was also a super powered blond who was fast enough to catch the metal box. Everyone looked around in shock as the blond's hands dug into the metal, easily holding it above everyone's heads. A quick shout from Hiro to run, and an order for Baymax to "Get him," had everyone moving. By the time Baymax began moving towards the masked man, Naruto had thrown the container, helped GoGo grab Hiro, much to the youth's protest, and got everyone but the super blond into the relatively small car.
Hiro fought against everyone's hold trying to explain that Baymax would be fine against the masked man, but his comment fell on deaf ears as the huggable robot in body armor was falling from the sky before landing on the roof of Wasabi's car. With the robot now stuck inside the roof of the vehicle, Naruto decided that it would be best if everyone left.
"Get going," the blond commanded closing the door behind GoGo, leaving himself outside, as the car began to back up quickly.
Turning to look at the man, as the shadows that follow his commands coalescing into a mass of inky blackness, Naruto stood his ground and got into a loose fighting stance that his body fell into from his forgotten memories. The writhing black matter shot out from the man, and raced towards the stationary blond, who raised his fists and began to throw a series of punches and strikes at the black tentacle, keeping it at bay. He continued to fight until the sound of the car turning around and driving farther away had Naruto push forward and deliver a hard punch that broke apart whatever he was fighting and gave him enough time for him to turn and begin running.
Using the speed he had practiced with and refined during his races with GoGo, Naruto was soon outside of the dock area and onto the roads of San Fransokyo. Just ahead of him were the tail lights of the van just seen over the nearest hill as his friends made their getaway. He spared a quick glance behind him to see that the masked man was following him, and by extension his friends, on a shifting mound of the black substance. But worse was that his pursuer was gaining.
It was just after an over head bypass that the man finally caught up with Naruto as a tendril of solid shadow shot out and wrapped around the blond lifting him into the air. A quick swipe of his arm let Naruto break free and begin to fall towards the ground. Only for another tentacle to grab and throw him just after his feet had touched the road.
A few seconds of sailing through the air, only to crash into the street, Naruto screwed his eyes shut to try and block out some of the pain. A plan that worked well enough that when the sound of screeching tires reached his ears the blond was able to quickly open his eyes and see the same car, full of his friends that he had been chasing after, parked next to his own stationary form.
"Why are you guys stopped?" Naruto asked from his downed position, as his slightly addled mind processed that his friends should be moving. And in front of not beside him.
"I'd like to know that too," GoGo yelled from the passenger seat, clearly not happy about their current lack of movement towards their escape.
"The lights red," was Wasabi's answer as the tall youth vigorously held onto the steering wheel in anticipation for when the light would change.
"Are you kidding me," GoGo screamed out louder this time, but thankfully the light changed and the car was in motion again before the velocity loving girl could get into a tirade.
With his friends on the move, Naruto took a look down the street and saw the menacing masked man barreling down the street on the slick black substance he controlled. Scrambling to his feet the speedy blond took off after his friends in their car.
"Naruto," Fred yelled out from the window of the vehicle, climbing over several people to do so, "Hiro said that masked dude stole his microbots and burned the expo hall at the school to cover his tracks."
This revelation caused Naruto to stumble, as thoughts began to enter his mind. Images of fire and smoke traipsed across his psyche, Tadashi lying in a bed at the hospital as doctors tried to keep him from his oncoming death, the kind Professor that had signed off on him staying at the school when he had nowhere else to go. And the man who caused it all was now chasing after him and his friends, all because they had seen that man at the docks.
"He's a super villain who's trying to kill us for seeing to much," Fred yelled from the car, partially mirroring Naruto's own thoughts.
"We don't know that he's trying to kill us," Honey added trying to placate everyone, her sweet voice carrying through Naruto's clouded mind. Fred's yell of warning at a car being thrown at them and Honey's retraction of her statement, fully brought Naruto back to the here and now.
Quickly turning on his heels the super strong young man easily caught the car, as his friends continued to drive away. A tentacle, of the now known to be microbots, shot forward and wrapped themselves around the blond, lifting him into the air with ease. The recently flung car still in his grasp, Naruto jovially thought it would be kind to return it, and so dropped the car and allowed it to break apart the the arm of robots that was holding him. A flex of his muscles and a swipe of his arm, had the rest of the black bots off him.
Turning his head quickly Naruto spotted the black clad creep that had put Tadashi in the hospital and was even now trying to hurt even more of his friends, ducking down an alleyway. Deciding that no matter how much he wanted to chase the man, it was best to stay close to his friends, so Naruto turned and began to follow after the car his friends were in.
The car was easy to find, mainly due to the robot stuck to the roof, but the turn signals being used by the ever safety conscious Wasabi also helped. At least they did until the car slowed for a few seconds, before rocketing off at high speed. Thankfully the car had been going slow enough initially that Naruto was able to catch up with the rest of the group before they could get too far away.
Looking through the open window Naruto was unsurprised to find that GoGo taken over the wheel. The petite woman having planted herself in between the legs of a freaked out, albeit lucky to have the cute girl where she was, Wasabi, who was scrambling to hold onto the paneling. Not that Naruto was jealous of the dreadlocked man.
Pulling ahead of the vehicle slightly, Naruto could almost feel GoGo's lips turn into that grin she got when they were racing. The roaring of the engine resounded in his ears, as the world began to blur around him. What were dark tendrils, became mere shadowy obstacles as the two raced down the streets.
Naruto would duck and weave about the offending protrusions, while GoGo was forced to drive around them and sometimes over them. But if a wall of microbots appeared in front of the car, Naruto would always appear and destroy the offending blockade. At one point Hiro almost fell out when the tentacles ripped one of the doors off, but thanks to the help of Baymax, and a distraction courtesy of Naruto, the young teen was pulled back into the car.
Eventually the blond lost track of his friends as GoGo was able to get a speeding train between the car and the masked man, leaving him to try and outrun the giant mass of microbots. Or at least keep ahead of them until one tendril shout out and wrapped around his arms. As Naruto was about to break free more of the robots began to encircle his arms to keep him from getting loose.
This was followed by being lifted off the ground and carried over the train and after his friends. His new elevated height gave him a perfect view of the microbots that surrounded his friends, and was now slowly closing in on them.
The fear that gripped his own heart seemed to coincide with the tunnel slowly squeezing down onto his friends, only abating when the car came crashing out of the tube. And the joy at the sight of his friends unhurt quickly turned to fear as they skidded over the pier that the tube had turned them towards.
With his friends now sinking into the bay of San Fransokyo Naruto began to struggle harder against his binds to get into the water himself. Slowly but surely he began to move inside the wraps of microbots holding him even as more coats of the machines added themselves around him.
But before human or machine gave out the masked man who had just finished chasing them raised his arm, and by extension the tendril holding Naruto, and slammed the blond along with the tiny bots into the water. Pushing him down until they reached the sandy bottom, where he was left as the robot's left with the masked man, who was now leaving the drowning teens.
Naruto recovered quickly, but instead of swimming up for air began to break through the kicked up silt in search of the drowned car. His search only took him a few seconds as the flashing light of failing electronics from a car alerted him to the location of the vehicle, but not his friends. It was only due to the white vinyl of Baymax that almost glowed in the dark water that allowed Naruto to find his friends and swim towards the surface along with them.
Breaching the water's surface and taking a few well deserved gulps of air, the only member of the team who hadn't been in the car swam over to join his friends who were using the now floating medical bot as a raft. At seeing him the rest of the group gave sighs of relief that none of them were hurt, just cold as Baymax helpfully pointed out. This was followed by Fred's exclamation of knowing where they should head to.
Naruto, having a good idea of where Fred was talking about, was about to ask his fellow blond about what his parents would think, but came up short as his eyes traveled across the form of the final, and prettiest, of the present blonds. Honey's sweater had become soaked in the water and was now clinging to her from, giving ample view of her sleek curves. And the more curvaceous GoGo wasn't any worse for wear, or better wear from Naruto's point of view, her white shirt had become see through allowing his sensitive eyes to clearly see the yellow bra she had on. Naruto slowly began to sink back into the water hoping that the chilly bay would help the heat in his cheeks dissipate. His problem was only exacerbated by the ever optimistic Honey Lemon.
"While I said I wanted to go to the beach I wasn't think of it like this," The good natured comment caused a much needed chuckle to erupt amongst the group now paddling towards shore. Naruto on the other hand was left with images from earlier in the day now floating through his mind, and new dreams of what he might see as soon as the girls got out of the water.
-End Chapter-
I officially hate this chapter. It has been 2 years since I last updated, Feb/25/2015 to Feb/25/2017 and most of that time I had the document open trying to figure out that damn chase scene. I'm just glad it's done.
Continuing on I don't know what Honey was looking up on her phone beside swimsuits but I sure had fun writing those dream-esque scenes. Especially since they were written about a year and a half ago.
As for Hiro's talk with Baymax I'm just going to say that it went the same as in canon (even if Tadashi isn't dead yet). I don't want to take anymore time trying to write that in.
Now for a quick question: After finishing the last chapter so many of you requested that if I went the harem route that I add Cass, and while I wouldn't mind doing that I don't think we've really spent enough time with her to warrant adding her as a potential girlfriend / wife for Naruto. I started writing a quick one off to see what would happen if Naruto had been brought home by Tadashi instead of left at the school. Eventually I finished the first chapter and have been sitting on it wanting to either finish this chapter or entire fic (trying to keep too many plates spinning in the air and all that) before I posted it.
So here's the question do you want me to upload the first chapter of this fic featuring an older (late 20's early 30's) Naruto and Cass as the only pairing. Leaving Honey and GoGo for this story. Or should I wait to finish this story first.
Finally I have heard about the cartoon show for Big Hero 6 that's coming out, but I'm just going to try and finish with the movie plot before thinking of any more.
As always thank you for reading, I apologize for the obscenely long wait, and hope to get the next chapter out sooner. Being that by my calculations there should only be two or three more chapters left, I hope to finish this before the year ends.
Thank you for reading, sorry again, and good luck.
