A/N This chapter was supposed to be a lot longer but when I realized how long it had been since I last updated…well I wanted to get something out to you all. Hopefully the next update doesn't take me this long.
I may have also forgotten the events of Rosario Vampire since parts of this will actually follow canon so it may take me a little bit to actually relearn some things.
Anyways enjoy!

*MINDSCAPE*
"So kit, did you have funwith the little bloodsucker?" A large Cheshire grin followed and Naruto couldn't help but growl in irritation.
"Give me one reason I shouldn't neuter you fox!" A loud bellow rang out.
"Neuter me!? Bwahahahahaha! Have you forgotten that I am nothing more than a mass of chakra, you blonde monkey!" Kyuubi continued on with its mad cackling making Naruto twitch.
"Don't tempt me to find a way…" He shook his head. This was something he should have expected straight from the start.
"Mind telling me why you decided that I needed to get laid?"
"Bah, you've been bitching way too much lately so I figured eh, why the hell not…besides, you have to admit kit that claiming her took away a lot of your stress.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa hold the fuck up you walking fur ball, what the hell did you mean claim!?" A thousand possibilities ran through his head and his breathing started to come out in short rapid breaths.
"CALM DOWN!" The booming voice of his tenant woke him from his panic induced daze. "Nothing has changed except for you getting some nooky, damnit!"
"Why the hell would you say claim then you fucking asshat? I swear if you did anything like turning her into my mate or some other stupid bullsh-"
"Bwahahahahaha! Oh kit, you really need to stop reading those stupid stories of yours. All I did was increase your pheromone output to help entice the vampire so you could knock one out. Didn't want my container to finally lose himself into a blind blood fueled rage simply because he was stressed."
"Oh thank the…there is a…fuck it! Thank the holy gods of RAMEN! There is no way in fucking hell I'm getting hitched anytime soon. And can you imagine if she got pregnant? I'd throw myself in front of the the yellow thing that brought us here." Naruto chuckled. Certainly dodged a kunai there. He failed to notice that the fox froze for a second before slowly backing away from his soon to be enraged container.
"Uh…kit? About that…" Naruto waved him off and started walking toward the exit.
"Not now fox. Now that that scares over with I'm going to go write down all of what happened for the newer icha icha." Kurama grumbled nervously.
"I never sterilized you…" And just like that time stopped…
The usual sounds present in the mindscape were gone, replaced by a slow creaking sound coming from the neck of Uzumaki Naruto.
"What…did…you….say…" His skin was beginning to darken. "I don't…think….I heard you…right…old friend…"
"O-Oi, calm down now kit! Re-remember who your favorite buddy is…" A dark pulsating miasma of energy erupted around the room forcing the Kyuubi to flee with Naruto right on his heels.
"GET BACK HERE AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!"
"NO WAY IN HELL GAKI! BESIDES IM A FOX!" A rasenshuriken flew past his Kurama's head. "Oi, watch it! That thing almost hit me!" He dodged another one aimed at his face.
"That's the idea you fuzzy little bastard! I swear to on all of the Miso in the WORLD that if she gets pregnant, I will fucking skin you alive and wear your bloody fur as a fucking coat!"
"Geez, it's not the end of the world if she has your little one, is it?!"
"I. AM. ONLY. SIXTEEN. YOU. FUCK! I don't want to have kids yet. Let alone with someone who wants nothing more than to rip my head off half of the time!"
He was inches away from slamming a rasengan into the bijuu when everything melted away to the familiar site of Yukari's hospital room.
"Fuckin' hell…"
XXXXXXXXX
"Fuckin' hell…" The blonde boy sunk in his spot.
"Uh…Nii-san, are you ok?" A wave was her answer.
"Naruto-san, I don't mean to interrupt but...what do you think about my earlier suggestion?" A blank look.
Naruto had absolutely no idea about what was going on considering he had been trying to flay the demon in his gut. Apparently though they were having a discussion of some sort and he was, in fact, some form of an active participant.
Well as active as you can be while your practically comatose.
Still, it seemed that his sensei was expecting some form of answer to a question he never heard, judging by Yukari's face, she too wanted to know what his answer would be. Now it came down to the crux of the problem. What in the seven hells did they ask him?
"The fuck are you talk-"
*THWACK*
"Watch your language!" In a flash Shizuka was on her feet standing over him with her left shoe in her hand and strangely enough there was a dull pain in the side of his face.
"Oi!" Naruto meant to bite out a scathing remark at the faculty member, however upon attempt he found a shoe being waved dangerously close to his face.
Needless to say he decided to stay quiet.
For the moment.
"Somebody just tell me what the f-", Cue glare from Shizuka. "-arnicles is going on so I can go pass out or something." His sensei sighed and thankfully put her shoe back on.
"Apparently your clones are more observant than you…" She whispered to herself, though still loud enough that the others in the room could hear it.
"I asked you if you would please join my club!" Naruto felt his eye twitch.
"Why…in the seven hells would I want to join a club?" He felt a tug on his shirt.
"Aww c'mon Nii-san, it could actually be pretty fun!"
"If it's so fun then why haven't you joined?" He frowned as Yukari seemed to sink in on herself, bringing her knees up to chest and wrapping her arms around then. It was faint but he swore he was able to hear her mumble something.
"What was that Yukari-chan?" He gently tilted her head up so that he could actually look her in the eyes.
"I said…I wanted to join a club with you…So that we can spend more time together…" Naruto's eyes widened a fraction at the declaration. Sure he knew that they had some form of bond but he didn't really think that it was that close.
If it was then it was already the strongest bond he had with anyone outside of the Ichiruka family.
'Yukari-chan…how much does our friendship really mean to you? Do you actually see me as your big brother?' Naruto gently pulled the younger girl into a hug, running his fingers through her hair in the hopes it would relax her a bit.
Yukari loved the feeling she got when her Nii-san hugged her. It was always gentle and warm…well if you were on his good side and he wasn't trying to kill you for whatever reason.
She heard a rumble in his chest and vaguely realized that he was talking, although his words were lost as she snuggled deeper into the embrace.
XXXXXXXXX
Despite knowing that the only one that Uzumaki Naruto got along with was the young witch Sendou Yukari, Shizuka didn't exactly realize that they were this close. Seeing the normally aggressive male being so gentle with Yukari just…didn't fit with what she came to know about him.
'Perhaps I judged you too quickly Naruto-san…For Yukari to be so comfortable with you…' And comfortable the witch was by the expression on her face. If she was honest with herself, it was almost as if she was intruding on a personal family moment between siblings. So lost in her thoughts she barely was able to notice when a hand was waving at her.
"Yo sensei, you there? Hello!"
"Ah, sorry about that Naruto-san. You were saying?"
"I was wondering, what was the real reason you wanted me? I mean I wouldn't expect you to want someone like…well me in a newspaper club."
"Well, to tell you the truth you're not my first choice for a club member." She was relieved and yet nervous to be interacting with a calm Naruto, still not used to the idea that he really had this side of him all along.
"Then why me, why ask?" Shizuka slumped her shoulders.
"So that what happens last year doesn't repeat itself again." This got Naruto's attention. What the hell happened last year that would force his sensei to want an aggressive dick like himself in her club?
"You don't have to go into details, but it's obvious that you need me to protect the other students in your club, as much as I am…loathed…to interact with those people more than I have to. However if you want my help then you'll need to be upfront with me."
"Alright…what do you want to know exactly?" It was easy to see that she didn't really want to share what she knew in case it scared him off. But if she wanted his help, along with forced to interact with people he didn't care to know then she would have to tell him everything.
"Just the reason sensei, nothing more."
"Have you heard of the student safety committee?" Seeing his blank look she continued. "They are a group of senior students that act as a…well their supposed to basically be like a police force, there to protect the students and to keep things peaceful. Well that's what they are supposed to be on paper…"
"I take it they're more like a gang of bullies?" Shizuka nodded.
"More like a gang of Yakuza and they are more than willing to use force to get what they want." Naruto frowned. Shizuka's problem was starting to sound more and more like the thugs that he had to grow up with as a child.
"Why hasn't the headmaster done something about them?"
"Ah well, you see….the headmaster has this certain hands off policy, and before you ask, the staff have absolutely no say in how the safety committee does its job…"
"So that's it. A newspaper club printing information as it liked without the committees consent brought their wrath down upon them…" He saw his homeroom teacher flinch.
"Hai…only one club member survived." Naruto let out a weary sigh. His teacher wanted him to basically be the clubs guardian. But he wondered if she truly understood what she was asking."
"Tell me Shizuka-sensei…do you understand what you are asking of me. I mean really asking me?" He saw a frown and a flash of confusion. Obviously she didn't think this far ahead in the grand scheme of things. "You're asking me to protect a group that this safety committee has already targeted once before. You and I both know that they will come for the group again and that I will have to fight on everyone's behalf so that another massacre doesn't happen. But what you really don't understand is that at the end of the day, you are essentially sending me to fight a war."
"What? But I just-" He knew what she was doing. It didn't matter.
"Lucky for you, I have a rather…large amount of experience in this sort of field." Naruto turned to the strangely quite Yukari, who had taken advantage of the serious discussion to cuddle further in Naruto's embrace. He would have thought she would have immediately voiced her opinion on the matter.
"Well Yukari-chan? Think we should join up?"
A wide beaming smile was his response.
XXXXXXXXX
"So what do you think the club is going to be like Tsukune-kun?" Moka was curious. After all her childhood hadn't exactly allowed her to get out and experience the human world as much as it should have. Even going to a human school had left her isolated with no one around capable of understanding her, it also did very little to teach her about what being in a club, or any type of human activity, was really like.
"Well it is a Newspaper Club so I'm gonna guess that we'll be researching topics and writing a lot of news stories. Maybe we'll even get to travel."
"I can't wait to go to exotic places with my Tsukune-kun!" Moka growled in irritation.
"He's not yours Kurumu-san!"
Tsukune sighed seeing the two girls going. Just one day, he wished they could go somewhere without the two of them fighting over him.
Tsukune snorted. That in itself was probably the strangest thing he had seen since coming to Yokai Academy. Sure he almost had a heart attack when he found out that he was in a monster school. One that would kill him if they ever found out he was human, but really that was nothing when two of the hottest girls in the school had befriended him and then proceeded to try to woo him.
Well Kurumu was trying to woo him.
Moka was far too shy for that…until her rosary came off.
Luckily her other side was always more focused on trying to murder Naruto than to focus on him entirely.
"Although I'm not entirely sure if that's exactly a good thing…" Scratching his head in nervous apprehension. It was obvious that there was something between the silver haired moka and his blonde 'friend?' that the rest of them weren't seeing. There was a slight twinge in his chest when he considered that the two had spent a considerable amount of time together despite the fact that there was a deep loathing between them.
He shook his head. There was no point letting his mind run amok and drag his mind to a darker part when there was a good chance that there was really nothing going on and that he was just working himself into a pit of depression.
"TSUKUNE/TSUKUNE-KUN!" He jolted.
"Keh!?"
XXXXXXXXX
"You know you didn't have to….right?" A frown. That wasn't how her voice was supposed to sound.
"Figured it would give me something to do. That and you, little lady, need some more friends to interact with." There it was, the smile that should never have to leave her face was back. It was….nice. A smile because of him.
"That being said…" He paused to make sure that Yukari was looking at him. "Look…sooner or later things are probably going to end up heating up around here. When that happens I need you to do something for me."
"Nii-san?" Her smile dropped and mentally Naruto groaned. This was definitely not going to go over well with her.
"You heard what Shizuka-sensei said. She wants me to basically be the bodyguard for her club, a club that's already been attacked before. Do you understand Yukari-chan?"
"Yea I get it, but all she wants is for you to protect the club. I don't get why you're so nervous." Internally Naruto smiled, glad that his little imouto hadn't had to experience what he was trying to get across to her. After all, he had been fighting since he could walk and look at how fucked up he was.
"The public safety commission killed almost everyone in the club last year. When this years Newspaper Club starts handing out papers, they are going to come again. What Sensei wants me to do…there will be a lot of fighting. Maybe even…" He trailed off as he saw Yukari's innocent expression. He definitely did not want to expose her to the idea that he might have to kill someone to protect the club.
"Look just promise me that when the fighting starts you'll stick with the others and let me handle it okay?"
"WHAT? Nii-san are you crazy? I'm not going to just let you do everything yourself!"
"Yes! You will! Yukari I see you as my younger sister and there is no way in hell I'm going to let something happen to my imouto, so please, for me, when the fighting starts just let me handle it."
Yukari's mouth dropped open and hung there for a moment.
'I know I call him Nii-san all the time but…I didn't think that he…Naru-nii…' Yukari latched onto the blonde's torso and hugged him as tightly as she could.
"Fine…but you better promise me that you'll be okay!" He smiled, glad that she understood, and hugged her back.
'Although I don't doubt for a second that she's going to hang back if she thinks I'm in danger.'
