Hello everyone, I'm back and I've brought chapter two with me!
Now before we get to the story I think I should clear something up. I will be using the canon harem in this story. With that said I do want to add other girls to the harem as well and do plan to bring the three girls from the first chapter back into the story in a later chapter. For now though I want to get two or three of the cannon girl into the story before adding other girls. Also, the characters like Hikari, Naomi, and Midori that I created for the original story will be making a return in this version.
With that out of the way, I hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Having just taken a bath Naruto stood in front of the mirror, looking over his body. After a quick once over his hands came to rest on the bathroom sink as he stared into his own reflection. "Hiromasa, you bastard" Naruto said under his breath before pulling the mirror to the side so he could grab his toothbrush.
Those girls from yesterday really took a liking to him, so much so that he barely wobbled his way back home after it was all over. The bite marks have already healed and his blood was back up to a healthy level, but the lose of blood wasn't the only problem he had. Being surrounded by those girls, feeling their bodies rub and press against him as they looked for new places to draw blood, he felt like he was going to lose himself in that situation. If he had lost himself chances are he's be sitting in a jail-cell right now.
To his understanding having sex with any extra species was a strictly prohibited act under the current law. Even knowing that, it was really hard to keep his urges under control in that situation. Though perhaps that prohibition is why Hiromasa has been on the waiting list for more than a year now. Hevan knows that if he could he'd break that law the moment he could.
"'You're worrying about something stupid again, aren't you?'" a voice inside Naruto's head questioned. It was a fact Naruto kept secret from even his mother but for the past few years he's been talking with the bijuu sealed inside his body. In the beginning it was little more then shouting and insults but they've come a long way since then, even if Kurama was still a dick most of the time.
'It's not stupid' Naruto responded as he started to brush his teeth.
"'Oh? Then what are you worried about?'" the fox asked, to which Naruto hesitated to answer. Voicing his concern to Kurama in this instance wasn't really appealing to the blond. "'So it's stupid then'" Kurama said when Naruto failed to answer.
'Shut up!' Naruto yelled at the fox as his face heated up.
Beautiful long red hair, dazzling golden yellow eyes, a figure to kill for, these were all traits that could be used to describe Miia. However, the one thing that could best describe her right now would be nervous. As the young woman sat in the back of the truck she couldn't stop playing with the hem of her black shirt as her eyes constantly moved up and down her long, snake-like lower body.
Today was the day she'd finally be assigned to a host family and it terrified her. Compared to other extra species lamia had a hard time integrating into human society because of how drastically different their bodies were from humans. Their size made it hard to get around in human settlements, as poikilotherm they were effected by the temperature more, and they could often be unintentionally intimidating, because of this Miia had been fearing how her host family will react to her. Would they welcome her in with open arms? Would they keep her at an arms length? Would they fear her?
These thought ran through the poor girls mind as the truck came to a stop. Miia took a deep breath as the door slid up, it was time. Grabbing her things she left the truck, meeting her coordinator on the side of the road.
Following the black haired woman up to the house Miia felt like her heart was about to explode with how quickly it was beating. Holding her breath it felt like time had slowed down to a snail's pace as Ms. Smith's hand reached out to ring the door bell.
"One moment!" Miia herd a woman's voice come from inside the house. Each step Miia could hear coming towards the door rang through her head like a gong and when the doorknob turned her breath caught in her throat.
The woman who answered the door as slender, had fail skin, violet eyes, and red hair a shade or two darker than Miia's that reached her ankles with shoulder-length strands that framed her face with a black clip that parts her hair to the left. She wore a white, high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, green, loose-fitting dress with a dark blue wristband on her left wrist.
"Can I help you?" Kushina asked. When she had opened the door she certainly wasn't expecting to see a government worker with a lamia standing a little bit behind her.
"Yes, you can" Smith told her. "My name is Sumisu Kuroko. I'm Miia's cultural exchange coordinator" Ms. Smith said as she motioned to the girl next to her. "She's come to start her home stay so if we could come inside and discus the necessa-" Smith was saying when Kushina cut her off.
"Woh there! I think there's been a misunderstanding here. We haven't signed up for the exchange program" Kushina quickly told the woman before this could get out of hand. Seeing the confused look on Sumisu's face and the worried on on Miia's Kushina continued. "I'm sure that Miia is a wonderful young lady, but we're just not prepared for something... like this...?" the woman was saying while smith reached into her suit and pulled out a folded piece of paper. Unfolding the sheet Smith showed it to Kushina and prominently displayed in the top left corner of the document was Naruto's picture.
"So this isn't Naruto Uzumaki's residence?" Smith asked Kushina as the woman stared blankly at the sheet of paper.
"Wha?" Kushina breathlessly asked as the hand she was holding the door with limply dropped down to her side.
"Who is it?" Naruto asked as he came down the stairs, his vision obscured by the towel he was using to dry his head. When he got to the bottom and he pulled the towel from his head he was met with the sight of these three women staring at him, all conveying very different feelings in the process. 'Shit' Naruto thought as his towel slipped out of his hand and dropped to the floor.
In order to figure things out Kushina invited Smith and Miia into the house before taking Ms. Smith somewhere to talk in private, leaving Naruto and Miia alone together. The fact that Kushina hadn't reprimanded him for signing up for the exchange program without telling her was really getting to Naruto, but more importantly this defining silence between him and Miia was going to drive him mad. He had offered to make some tea but only got a wordless nod from the girl and when she followed him to the kitchen the most they had in terms of conversation where the occasional apologies from the girl every time her tail accidentally bumped into something and Naruto telling her it was fine every time she did.
Once the tea was done they moved to a different room, since Miia couldn't really sit at the dinning room table, and placed the pot of tea down in the center of a short, square table. Both of them had attempted to start a conversation several times but every time the other would make a short, nervous reply that killed the conversation before it began.
Looking for any excuse to say something Naruto noticed that Miia's cup was getting low. "Do... you want some more?" Naruto asked as he picked up the teakettle.
"Ah, yeah" Miia nodded as she held her ceramic cup up. As the blond filled the cup up Miia stared off into nothing as she thought about this situation. Out of all the possible reactions she had been preparing herself for confusion wasn't one of them.
Just as Naruto was about to finish filling Miia's cup the girl's lack of focus resulted in her cup slipping out of her hands and clattering against the table, sending hot tea spilling everywhere.
"Ghaa! I'm sorry!" Miia blurted out as bother her and Naruto moved away from the table to avoid getting hot tea splashed on them, or at least avoid as much of it as they could.
Acting quickly Naruto pulled his shirt off and began to soak up the mess with it. Following suit Miia started to remove her pink jacket, offering to help him clean up the mess she made.
"No, I got this" Naruto told her, never looking up from the tea he was cleaning up.
Stopping with her jacket around her elbows Miia stood in silence, her bangs casting a shadow over her eyes. "I'm just a burden, aren't I?" the girl asked, causing Naruto to stop his cleaning. "I've only caused you trouble since I got here. I-I'm so sorry" Miia apologized as small droplets started to well up in her eyes.
"I should be the one apologizing. You wouldn't have had deal with any of this if I hadn't signed up without thinking" Miia heard the blond say, getting her eyes to widen ever so slightly as her head tilted up to look at him. The wide smile she was met with made her heart skip a beat as her cheeks flushed red. Getting up Naruto walked around to Miia's side of the table. "I promise I'll do what ever it takes to make it up to you, okay?" Naruto said as he used his hand to wipe away her tears an unintentionally making her blush worse as her heart threatened to beat right out of her chest.
Staring with wide eyes as Naruto gave her such a warm smile Miia felt her throat dry up. Opening and closing her mouth several times Miia struggled to say anything at all while ultimately saying nothing.
"Are we interrupting?" the pair heard, resulting in Miia nearly jumping out of her skin as Naruto simply turned his head to See Ms. Smith and Kushina standing in the doorway with smirks on their faces.
"Oh, you finish talking already?" Naruto asked as he turned to fully face to two women. Meanwhile Miia quickly put her jacket back in place before cupping her hands over her thumbing heart.
"We did" Smith told him as Kushina walked into the room, her face having lost its smirk, replaced with a serious expression.
With her arms crossed over her chest the woman addressed Naruto, making him stand up straight at her tone. "Naruto, you shouldn't have signed up for the program on a whim, and you definitely shouldn't have kept this a secret" Kushina told her son, watching him start to sweat under her gaze.
After a moment she turned her attention to Miia. "Miia" the woman said, getting the girl to stiffen up like Naruto had as she turned to face the woman. Miia couldn't quite pinpoint why, but the woman standing before her was perhaps the most intimidating figure she'd ever met in this moment of time. Fortunately for Miia, Kushina's tone and posture quickly softened. With a warm smile Kushina reached out her hand to pat Miia's head, telling the girl "Welcome to the family".
After a brief moment of staring at her wide eyed Miia face was split by a wide grin. "Really? Oh! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Miia happily cheered as she reached out and pulled a Kushina into a big hug, presently surprising the woman.
A few minutes later found everyone outside to see Ms. Smith off. With the window of her black car down Smith looked out at the trio, her sunglasses far enough down her nose for them to see her amber colored eyes. "Remember, I'll be stopping by from time to time to check up on Miia so try not to get into any trouble" Ms. Smith told them. After hearing them agree to stay out of trouble Smith gave a small smile before putting up her window. With the moving truck following behind her Smith drove off leaving the three members of the Uzumaki household standing outside their house.
After seeing the vehicles disappear around the corner Kushina turned to talk to Miia, only to see that the girl was no longer standing next to them. "Miia?" the woman asked as she looked around.
"Darling, Mom, hurry up! I still need to pick out a room and could use a little help!" Miia happily said as she stood in front of the now open doorway, waving for the pair to follow after her.
"Mom?/Darling!?" Kushina and Naruto questioned as they stared at the smiling lamia with confused looks on their faces.
