A/N This is most likely the last update I'll be able to do until next weekend since I go back to school on Monday.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has reviewed the story so far or put it on their favorites. Glad to see that most of the reception is positive.

I apologize for the beginning of this chapter if it feels too…out there.

*One and a half years in to training trip with Jiraiya*

"Naruto, why do you think humans kill each other?" Naruto blinked in surprise at Jiraiya's question and stopped attempting to start a fire for their little campsite.

"Ara? Well uh…we are shinobi?" While normally he would have been fine with just snapping a witty reply to his usually aloof perverted sensei, he was thrown by the almost haggard appearance of the man. When Jiraiya turned his gaze on him, Naruto flinched.

"Listen closely kid because this has been something that the Yondaime and myself have spent our lives trying to figure out." At the mention of his idol, Naruto gave him his undivided attention.

"While it's true that as shinobi we are expected to kill, tell me, imagine that another has taken the life of someone you care about. What would you do?" Naruto had to bite back a sigh. Of course he knew what he would do.

After all, it mirrored similar reactions when people tried to hurt him as a child.

"I'd try to kill them." He saw Jiraiya nod.

"You and everyone else. When one kills another, they aren't just killing their opponent. They're killing someone's father, mother, brother, sister, child etc. When the family or friends of the deceased find out who did it, or even what place they are from, they'll then kill the other person. This in turn starts the process over again. It's all just one giant cycle of hatred."

Naruto didn't like were this was going.

"Take the five villages. We've been through three shinobi wars that have encompassed all of the elemental nations. All that hatred that has spawned from those events is still spiraling down the path, sweeping everyone else in it. It's chaos." Jiraiya paused for a second to bring out two bottles of sake, handing one to Naruto.

"Now let me ask you another question. How do you end the hatred?" And there it was, the question that was going to show his innermost thoughts. Popping the lid to the bottle Naruto took a sip. He already knew his answer.

"That's easy Ero-sennin, there isn't" He took another sip.

"You sound pretty confident in your answer. Care to explain Naruto?"

"There will always be hatred, it's ingrained into human nature. Every emotion that we have eventually all leads back to it one way or another." He noted the frown on his sensei's face.

"So you really don't think it's possible? What about kindness and compassion? Aren't those things capable of ending it? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe through words alone you were able to get the fabled Demon of the Mist to cry about his subordinate's death." Naruto froze.

'Haku…' "The only reason I tried to talk to him was because he had done nothing to me. Sure I thought Sasuke-teme was dead, and Zabuza had tried multiple times to kill my team, but nothing he did affected me. 'Except for her.' "Now if he did hurt someone that I cared about then you better damn believe that I would have tried to rip his heart out." It obviously wasn't what his sensei wanted to hear.

"Let me ask you a question Jiraiya-sensei," Said man perked up a bit when he heard his actual name being used, "Would you ask me to forgive everyone in Konoha who has harmed for simply being what I am?" Naruto had a death grip on his bottle.

"I would hope eventually that yes you would…Naruto I underst-"The bottle shattered.

"YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING! Tell me, have you ever had to spend your birthdays running from people who wanted nothing more than to tear you limb for limb? Who I might add were from our own village. No? Then how about this!"

His heart beat was pounding in his ears and red was beginning to seep into his vision.

"Have you ever been tortured and then pummeled to the brink of death, All by your own people?"

He was shaking now. His voice becoming a whisper.

"Have you ever been tormented so badly that you tried to kill yourself? Let me tell you a little story. When I was seven years old I couldn't take any more of the abuse, the beatings, the bullshit, so I broke the mirror in my bathroom. I went to the bathtub and I turned the water to the coldest it would go. I sat down in the tub as it was filling before I took the shard and slit my wrists."

He was glaring a cold fury at the man.

"I almost made it too. Combination of the freezing temperature and the blood loss, not even the Kyuubi would have been able to save me at that stage in my life. I was so very close to freedom when that bastard saved me." He rose to his feet and started walking to the other side of the campsite.

"I will never forgive them."

XXXXXXXXX

He snapped awake to the sound of knocking. He sat up and groaned when he saw the bright light streaming through his window.

"Alright, alright I'm up." Swinging his legs over the side of the bed he grabbed a cigarette and lit it.

"Naruto-san? Class is going to be starting soon!" That was Tsukune. The hell was he waiting on him for.

"I got it already! Just go to class already."

"Are you sure? I could wai-"

"Go to fucking class already you limp dick bastard!" Harsh? Yes, but he was certainly not in the mood to deal with anyone just yet. He heard a yelp and what sounded like someone running down the hallway.

He had to admit that there was a small part of him that laughed with sadistic glee knowing he could frighten someone so easily. He blamed his other side. Getting off the bed he rummaged through a pile of clothes that were tossed by the foot of the bed, attempting to piece together some sort of assemble for the day.

As he pulled on his uniform a thought flitted in his head for a moment.

'Is drowning in hatred your entire life really the way to live?'

That train was derailed so as not to conjure up some grand battle of philosophy that would not doubt send him into a murderous rampage. That just didn't fit into his current plans.

He grabbed his blazer, which had been tossed onto his desk the night before, and regarded it for a moment before tossing it back to where it was. There was no way he was going to wear that green monstrosity anymore. The pants he could deal with but that was it. Creating a Kage Bunshin, he looked over his appearance.

"Too fucking straight n' narrow" He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shit. Dismissing the previous clone, he created a new one and gave it a look over before nodding.

It would do.

With a lazy hand seal he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

XXXXXXXXX

'Whoever created the Kage Bunshin Jutsu was a certified fucking genius!' There was a long sigh of contentment as Naruto kicked back and relaxed with a familiar orange book, Cigarette between his lips and a bottle of sake next to him.

"Why the fuck didn't I do this sooner?"

"Because you're an idiot." Naruto jumped.

"The hell?!"

"You dumbass. I've spent the past three weeks trying to get enough energy back to restore the connection and when I finally doyour blonde monkey ass can't even remember me."

"Kurama? Well I'll be damned, how you doing fur ball?"

"Tired…You have no idea how much energy it took to keep your dumb ass in one piece." The great beast gave a huff. "What's been going on in the outside since ive been under?"

"Now that's the question isn't it…" Naruto closed his book and took a long drag.

"Kit? What happened?" If Naruto was paying attention he would have heard the concern mixed in.

"Too much fox…" His voice hollow. "You missed them kicking me out." He heard an angry grow echo in his head.

"If only I was awake! Enough is enough kit, after everything you've done for the-"

"Easy Kurama! Konoha is going to get what's coming to them, believe me. We have all the time in the world to exact this payback."

"Any particular reason for that? You can control all nine of my tails and you can even bring me out onto the battlefield, what more do you need?"

"Finesse. While I would love to just let you loose on them, there are still some worth saving living there."

"Very well…Then what is the plan for the meantime?"

"School. Making friends. Shit that I never got the chance to do."

Kurama shifted in his cage.

"I get the whole friends thing…but school? You're not exactly the sharpest kit."

"Yea, yea I know, but I figure hey free networking!"

"And how is playing nice with humans supposed to help? Sure with an army you could take Konoha by force but you would be giving up on the whole finesse thing."

"Well I may have forgotten to mention a tiny little detail. This isn't just some random school fox, this is a school for Yokai."

"How in the seven hells did you manage to get to a school for Yokai?"

"Very carefully fox, very carefully."

XXXXXXXXX

"Tsukune-kun!" Said male froze at the call.

'How in the hell did she find me?!' Tsukune's eyes darted around trying to find somewhere to hide. He started to dash toward the closest door when a body slammed into him from behind.

"There you are Tsukune-kun! You weren't trying to run from me little ole me, where you?" He craned his neck to get a look at his attacker. While in any other circumstance he would be blushing and stuttering at the very well-endowed blue haired girl currently sitting on his back, in this certain case however said blue haired girl had spent a majority of last night trying to gut him for refusing her advances.

"N-no K-K-Kurumu-chan." 'Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Plea-'

"Tsukune-Kun! Kurumu-san get off of him!" He felt the weight leave his back and quickly scrambled away.

"Who do you think you are getting in between me and my Destined One?!" The now named Kurumu yelled at the pink haired interloper.

"Me!? What are you doing?" Moka growled out.

Tsukune pressed himself into the wall hoping to blend in and hide from the two girls in front of them. His fear escalated when he thought he saw lightning shooting between their eyes. Slowly he started sliding across the wall trying to get to the door he was trying to reach beforehand.

The two females were too busy arguing with one another to notice the boy reaching for the door.

As soon as he reached it he flung the door open and booked it towards the nearest window, swiftly opening it and climbing out.

His sudden departure garnered the attention of the arguing females.

"Tsukune-kun!"

"Come back Tsukune-kun!"

The two girls rushed after him.

XXXXXXXXX

"So meet any nice girls yet?" Sake went flying from Naruto's mouth.

"W-what the fuck!? Where did that come from?" He heard a snort.

"I'll take that as a no. I'm starting to think that you don't have any interest at all kit."

"Oi! If you're trying to insinuate what I thin-"

"Insinuate? Careful kit that words a little too big for you. Wouldn't want your brain to explode."

"Have I ever told you that I hate you?"

"Love you too. Now back to the original question. Have you or have you not met any nice girls?"

"And by 'met' you mean have I slept with any right? In that case, no Kurama I haven't." He heard a groan.

"You're in a boarding school filled with females and you haven't gone after any of them?! Why the hell not?"

"I think you already know why." The atmosphere dropped.

"Of course I do, but that happened quite some time ago. You need to either move on or get your ass into therapy kit." There was a pause. "Look alive, there's someone close by."

Blinking, Naruto stretched out his senses and picked up on someone running through the forest like a bat out of hell. Focusing a little more he picked up on several more following the first.

"Wait a second, Limpy-chan? The fuck happened this time?" He sealed the items around him and took off after him.

XXXXXXXXX

He could still hear them in the distance calling out his name. Not wanting to risk them capturing him he continued to run in random directions hoping to lose them in the forest. Unfortunately it worked a little too well and he was lost as well.

Didn't stop him from running though.

'Good job Tsukune, lets run away from the two hot chicks that have set their sights on you. Lets run in to the creepy dead forest and get lost. I hope Naruto-san never finds out about this or he's never going to let me live this do-'

"What's got your Panties in a bunch Limpy-chan?"

"GAAAH!" Naruto watched from his perch in a tree as the boy jumped several feet in the air before slamming into a low hanging branch, forcing him to the ground rather painfully.

"Oi, you still alive down there?" Hopping down he walked over to the boy and started to nudge him with his foot. "Oi Limpy-chan, get the fuck up." No response. Shrugging he slung the boy over his shoulder and started walking towards the dorms at a leisurely pace. Or it would have been had two girls not come barreling through the trees and land in front of him.

"Tsukune-kun!" Came the dual cry. The high pitch sound grated on his ears forcing Naruto to cringe.

"Shut the fuck up! Some of us have sensitive ears you know!"

"Screw your ears, what did you do to my destined one!?"

"Destin- what now?" He didn't know what a destined one was but judging from the extremely pissed off blue haired female in front of him it was obviously something important to her. "Look lady I don't know what you're talking about but keep your voice down before I knock you the fuck out." He was going to continue when he finally got a good look at the girl.

'The hell, she's almost as big as Baa-chan is.' The surprise was evident and caused his gaze to linger a little too long.

"Hey asshole, my eyes are up here!" Naruto's eyes never moved.

"You say something funbags?" He suppressed a chuckle at her incredulous look. Apparently this wasn't something that she was used to. He turned to the other female.

"So Pinky, you mind telling me what's going on?"

"We were trying to find Tsukune after Kurumu-san scared him off."

"I scared him off!? What about you? You drain him dry practically every time you see him!"

"Well at least I don't suffocate him!"

"You're just jealous that you don't have enough TO suffocate him!"

And the whole situation degraded into an insult contest with Naruto staring on in wonder.

'I don't even know what the hell just happened…Oi fox!'

"Careful, you're interrupting my nap time kit…"

'I Know I just wanted you to see what I'm dealing with here.'

"Bah you're still a pansy. Grow a pair, throw one over your shoulder, take her back to your room and just ravish her already."

'Really…Why are you so hung up on the whole sex thing anyway? I know you're not like Ero-sennin.'

"I'm 'hung up' on it because you need to relax before you explode with all of the stress you stupid ningen! Now if this is all you have to show me I'm going back to sleep."

'Tch, grumpy bastard. Although he does have a point.' Seeing that the argument in front of him had turned physical Naruto jumped up onto a branch with his still unconscious passenger and unsealed his bottle from earlier.

RIIIIIP!

He couldn't help the grin that was forming on his face at the sound of clothing being torn.

'Huh, who would have thought Pinky owned a bra like that?' The spectacle continued with even more clothes being shed until the two girls were down to just their underwear and even then they continued. Naruto contemplated using a Suiton Jutsu to make the ground muddy but decided against it.

He didn't want to risk being to cliché.

"Ugh, my head…" The person next to him stirred. "What happen-" A hand covered his mouth.

"Shut up and watch Tsukune." Tsukune looked at the blonde and then looked to where he pointed. His mouth dropped open and blood burst from his nose throwing him off of the tree. His impact with the ground snapped the two out if their fight.

"Wha- Tsukune-Kun!"

"Are you alright Tsukune-kun!?" The two ran over to him and started to fight over his prone form.

"Let go of him Kurumu-san!"

"You let go of him Moka!"

Neither noticed the shaky hand reach up.

XXXXXXXXX

"You know maybe he's not such a wimp after all if he can get two girls to fight over him. Two very beautiful girls…"

He saw the hand reach out.

"If he gropes one of them I'll drop the chan. Hell if he gropes them both I might have to start calling him by his real name."

The hand snagged the rosary on Moka's neck.

"Oh son of a bit-" He was forced to avert his eyes as a bright flash lit up the clearing. He felt the energy that poured from the girl and sealed his sake.

"And I was comfortable too." The light died down and a silver haired woman now stood where Moka used to be.

XXXXXXXXX

The now unsealed Moka glanced around the clearing before her eyes settle on Kurumu holding an uncurious Tsukune.

"You again?" Her leg cocked back. "You should already know your place!" Her foot came rocketing forward intent on destroying the person in front of her.

Until it was stopped by a hand and red met blue.

"Now, now, now, that's not very nice." He shifted to the left to dodge a fist. "And here I thought we were all friends."

"Silence! You dare mock me peasant!? When I am through with you, you will know your place!"

"Oh, sounds kinky." He batted away her foot, smirking at the scowl on her face. Silently he willed a Kage Bunshin into existence a little ways away and used Kawarimi to switch with it. He watched from the sidelines as his clone battled the enraged girl wondered what would happen once she calmed down enough to realize most of her clothes were gone.

"Fuck it, not my problem." His voice startled Kurumu who was still clutching onto Tsukune.

"Wait, How are you here!?" Her gaze shifting between the copy and the one standing before her.

"Well you see-"

"If you say anything close to 'when a mommy and daddy love each other', I will castrate you."

"Actually I was going to say trade secret but since you did bring it up. Roughly sixteen years ago-"

"I don't want to know!" a large tremor interrupted them.

"Huh, that's quite a bit of damage for an axe kick…" Another clone popped into existence and took off in the direction of where its predecessor met its end. "So who the fuck are you?"

"Huh?" Seeing the blonde make copies of himself at will left her a little dazed.

"Who. Are. You?"

"Kurumu, Kurono Kurumu. I'm actually in your homeroom."

"Uzumaki Naruto. Now then how the bloody hell did Limpy-chan manage to get both you and Pinky after him?" Kurumu tilted her head.

"Limpy-chan?"

"Tsukune, now don't get side tracked."

"I sort of tricked him. It's like this…"

XXXXXXXXX

"Ah! M-my leg…please help." Tsukune stopped walking and looked around.

"Huh, is there someone there?" He saw a blue haired girl walk out from behind a tree limping as she went. "Are you alright?" He rushed over as the girl sank to her knees.

"My ankle…I was walking around the grounds when I toppled over some headstones. One of them hit my ankle. Can you help me get to the nurse's office?" Tsukune nodded and helped her up wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"If you lean on me do you think you can walk?"

"I'll try." She took a step on her injured leg only for it to give out. Tsukune frowned.

"You can't walk on that, here get on my back." He made sure she was able to support herself before turning around and kneeling down.

Once she was secure he raised up and started walking, all the while trying to ignore the feeling of the girls bust pressing into his back.

"Oh yea I never got your name? I'm Kurono Kurumu."

"Aono Tsukune."

"Nice to meet you Tsukune-kun!"

The trek to the nurses office was done in relative silence as the girl laid her head on one of his shoulders and if he wasn't mistaken trying to rub her breasts on him. Luckily he only stumbled once or twice.

As they reached their destination he saw there wasn't anyone in the room so he placed Kurumu on one of the beds.

"There you are. Give me a second and I'll try to find the nurse." He was in mid turn when something latched on to his wrist.

"Ah, there's no need. Can you just get me something to wrap my foot up?" Tsukune nodded and started rummaging through the supplies in the room.

"Aha! Found some Kurumu-san."

"Chan! Not san."

"A-alright then K-Kurumu-chan." He went to hand over the bandages when she grabbed his wrist again and threw him onto the bed. "Kuru-" A finger touched his lips. Shocked at the actions he looked questioningly into the girls eyes.

"Shhh. You don't need to say anything. All you need to do is keep looking at my eyes." He wanted to say something, until he noticed something. Her eyes where spectacular. "Just like that Tsukune-kun."

He felt his body relax and his eyes droop a little. Everything just seemed to melt away, all except for her eyes.

'They're so beautiful…' He vaguely noticed that she was sitting on his lap and slowly grinding against him.

XXXXXXXXX

Kurumu looked down at the transfixed boy.

'This is almost too easy. I'm going to find my Destined One sooner than expected at this rate. Just have to do one last thing…' She licked her lips and leaned down so that her face was inches from Tsukune's. 'Just have to kiss him…' She closed her eyes and crossed the remaining distance…

Only to end up kissing the bed. Shocked she got up and stared at the boy.

"I'm sorry Kurumu-chan but this isn't right."

'What did he say!?' she was rolled off of him and could only help but stare at him as he got out of the bed. 'How did he break it?'

"How? I was going to give you everything and you refuse me?!" A Pink hair flashed through her mind. "It's because of her isn't it!?" 'That pink haired slut Akashiya Moka! What does she have that I don't have?" A growl rumbled in her throat causing Tsukune to back away from her.

XXXXXXXXX

"N-now let's just- " His voice died when he saw two wings emerge from Kurumu's back and her nails turned into veritable knives.

"You want her so badly? Then I'll just have to kill her so she's out of the way!"

"Wait? What!?" Tsukune couldn't believe what he was hearing. She was going to kill Moka just because he stopped her from kissing him?

Kurumu dashed over to the window intent on finding her target and flaying her alive. Just as the window was open she felt two arms wrap around her waist and pulled her away.

"You can't do that Kurumu-chan! Moka-chan is my friend. Let's just take a moment and talk about this." Another growl and Kurumu shook him off.

"No! She has been a thorn in my side since the start of school, she has to go!" She turned back toward the window.

Tsukune looked at Kurumu and then to everything around him trying to find some way to make the girl stop. Seeing she was halfway out the window he grabbed the nearest object and threw it with all of his might.

XXXXXXXXX

Kurumu wasn't sure what happened. One second she was climbing through the window and then out of nowhere something metal smacked into the back of her head sending her careening to the ground two stories away. Groaning she sat up and rubbed her head.

"What the hell? Did I just get hit with a bed pan?"

"KURUMU-CHAN, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? IM SORRY I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WOULD KNOCK YOU OUT OF THE ROOM LIKE THAT!" Looking up she saw Tsukune sticking out of the window.

'That son of a…He hit me with a freaking bed pan! That's it.' "You really want to protect your little harlot so bad, then I'll just have to kill you first!" She jumped up and spread her wings ready to take flight.

Hearing the girl's statement Tsukune scrambled away from the window and dashed out of the room. He was halfway down the hallway when the door to the nurse's office was smashed open and an angry Kurumu appeared.

"GET BACK HERE BASTARD!"

"SAVE ME GEEBUS!"

XXXXXXXXX

"Wait a second, you tried to kill him for rejecting you? A little messed up if you ask me." Kurumu huffed and crossed her arms at having her story interrupted.

"Yes I tried to kill him. I wasn't exactly in the best state of mind when it happened since he was resisting me because of Moka."

"Doesn't exactly help your case Funbags." He tilted his head to the side as a rock came flying by. "Alright, alright continue."

"Not really much happened after that. I chased him down, he tried to hide, I found him, he hit me with a broom, basically in a nutshell after I calmed down a bit we talked and went our separate ways." Her gaze shifted away which Naruto picked up on.

"And I'm the fucking tooth fairy, what really happened?"

"Has anyone told you that you swear too much?"

"Nope, now what happened?"

"Fine…"

XXXXXXXXX

"Did you seriously just try to hit me with a broom!?" Kurumu shouted at the boy currently cowering behind the shredded remains of a cleaning product.

"You're attacking me!"

"So? Be a big boy already and fight back!" She half expected him to turn into his real self at the beginning of their fight but he never did. "What are you a monster or a human? Come on already!"

She noticed the shaking became more pronounced and her eyes widened.

'No way…' "Are you a…." She looked around to make sure there wasn't anyone else around before leaning closer to Tsukune. "Are you Human?"

"Oh god please don't kill me!" He scrambled away from her and grabbed a plunger, waving it around like a man possessed. "Stay back!"

Kurumu took in the sight with mixed feelings. This would certainly explain a few things but if he was really human then by school rules he had to die right? Then again with how scared he was, he really didn't seem like a bad person, a little bit on the wimpy side but she found it to be a rather endearing really.

She retracted her nails and wings and knelt down so she was eye level with him

"Hey…I'm not going to kill you so calm down."

"W-wait your n-not? W-why?" He was going to kick himself later for asking that particular question.

"You really are a human aren't you?"

"A-and if i-I a-am?"

"Well according to the school rules I really should kill you…." Tsukune scrambled up from his position and grabbed her hands, the need to survive outweighing his fear.

"I'll do anything just please don't kill me!" His instinct to run away screaming like a little girl came back full force when he saw the smirk slowly make its way onto the girls face.

"Anything huh?" He didn't like how she said it but it was either this or death.

"Anything!"

Out of all of the reactions he could have gotten, he wasn't expecting her to grab his head and smash it into her chest.

"Oh Tsukune-kun! We're going on a date tomorrow night and it better be amazing or else this whole business of you being a human might just became common knowledge, Kay?"

'She's blackmailing me into a date!? Oh crap ive never been on a date before in my life, what do I do!?'

As he was mentally freaking out, outwardly he just nodded, unable to speak in his current predicament.

"Good! I'll see you tomorrow Tsukune-kun!" He was released as suddenly as he was grabbed and he could only watch as the girl skipped out of sight.

"I'm so screwed…"

XXXXXXXXX

"A date? You go from trying to flay the fucker to blackmailing him into a date? The fuck?" This just couldn't be happening. To Naruto he felt the whole he was out of one of Jiraiya's Icha Icha stories.

He paused.

'Now there's an idea…Icha Icha Reloaded, starring a wimpy dude that meets all types of scary powerful woman who just flock to him. This is going to be fucking gold if I can find out how to get it published!'' His scheming was interrupted by Kurumu defending herself.

"Hey, it's not my fault that he looked so adorable. He was like a kicked puppy, I just didn't have the heart to maim him and guessing from you not trying to kill him either you already knew?"

"Nope. Didn't care enough to actually find out." While it would have taken only just a few seconds to find out whether he was human or Yokai, he just didn't see the point. He saw Kurumu tighten her grip on Tsukune. "Relax Funbags, wouldn't be nice of me to kill the only other human here now would it."

"Wait, you're a human too? There's no way, a human can't clone themselves or fight vampires or anything like that!" He scoffed and pulled out a cigarette.

"Yea well I can because I'm a badass. Although speaking of clones…" He was too busy listening to Kurumu tell her story to really pay any sort of attention as a flood of memories hit him. Now that there was nothing going on though…

"I am going to rip your head off!"
