A.N.: To answer some of the reviews, of course inner Moka would still come out. Just because Naruto and Sasuke is OP doesn't mean she can't appear. Naruto and Sasuke can't always be there to save the others ya' know?
And yeah, I don't like bashing characters. While I admit that I don't really like Sasuke in the original series, this is Fanfiction! I can make him a kind hearted tsundere just like how most other authors make Naruto a cool playboy harem king that bang older woman.
Well, you get what I mean.

"Ramen…"
"Naruto…"
"Miso ramen…"
"Naruto…"
"Miso ramen with shri-oof!"
"Stop hugging me from behind you ramen obsessed freak!"
Sasuke's kick made Naruto fell down to the ground clutching his stomach. It was five in the morning and the Uchiha had invited Naruto to sleep in his room the night before as he knew the blond was tired after transporting to this dimension just yesterday. Furthermore, Naruto had nowhere to go. The blond was still wearing his blue tunic and Sasuke was wearing his sleepwear. Naruto had pleaded Sasuke to let him sleep on his bed with him, but since he kept drooling on Sasuke's hair, the Uchiha had kicked Naruto out of his bed violently.
"Hey teme what the hell was that for?!" Naruto shouted at his best friend.
"Oh I don't know, since you keep nibbling my hair while chanting your favorite ramen?! Sleep on the ground and nibble your finger then dobe!" Sasuke said while glaring at him.
Naruto mumbled something about Uchihas with stick up their asses before pouting and sleeping on the carpet.
Sasuke rubbed his temple and sighed. It was just one night he live with Naruto and he had already started to make his life a living hell. Even now he was snoring loudly and made noises while sleeping. 'I think I will sleep now, there is school tomorrow after all.' And so the Uchiha proceed to sleep on his bed.
The next morning, Sasuke had woken up to find that his idiot of a friend had gone missing. 'Probably the headmaster had summoned him.' He thought to himself. After he had finished dressing himself, he walked out of the dorm. He met Kurumu as usual and later met with Moka and Tsukune.
"Hmm…Sasuke-kun? Where's your friend Naruto? I thought you would walk out together with him and show him to the headmaster?" Kurumu asked her beloved Sasuke-kyun.
"…He is probably with the headmaster as we speak. Since I was transported to the headmaster office after I had just arrived in this dimension too. Heh…I can't wait to see his face when he realized that he will have to study in this school." Sasuke grinned evilly, making the others shivered.
"Um…what's wrong with him studying?" Tsukune asked curiously.
"Oh, let's just say that academics was never his strong point." The Uchiha smirked.
"O-oh….Well let's go to class now! I heard there will be an announcement today!" Moka said before dragging Tsukune by his arm and ran towards the school.
"Teehee, poor Tsukune. Well let's go, Sasuke-kun, don't wanna be late!" Kurumu grinned and pushed the Uchiha to the school, at the same time hugging him from behind.
In the class, Tsukune was doodling on his notebook when Ms Nekonome entered the class with her usual smile. She clapped her hand causing every student to look at her.
"Ehem! Today we will have another new student joining us, nyan!" Ms Nekonome said while looking at Sasuke.
Kurumu nudged Sasuke. "…Does that mean that he is Naru-"
Sasuke raised his hand to stop her from talking. Even though Sasuke said nothing in the outside, but in the inside he was panicking like crazy.
'No no no no… if he's in our class then my life in this school would be hell!' Sasuke thought while sweating profusely. He can already imagine what will happen if Naruto is in his class. He would disturb him to no end and babble about ramen every day. Plus he would probably prank him and the whole class for fun!
Suddenly the classroom door opened and came in a familiar blonde with wild and spiky hair. He walked to the teacher and wrote his name on the blackboard. It wrote 'NARUTO UZUMAKI'.
He then faced the class and crossed his arms. He was dressed in the usual dress shirt, albeit crumpled as he was wearing it in a hurry. His blazer was tied around his waist, giving him a rebel look. This caused his lean and muscular build to be seen completely. He also wore a black headband with an orange swirl around his forehead. His bangs covered most of his headband and he had whisker marks on his cheeks. But the most noticeable thing was his pair of bright blue eyes that charmed everyone in the class. He then faced the class and gave his famous grin.
"The name is Naruto Uzumaki! Let's be friends from now on, dattebayo!"
Almost all of the girls clapped their hands with heart in their eyes after looking at the cheerful handsome blond. Some of the guys actually smiled back at him for his friendliness.
"Wow! He looks so wild and cool! I think he's on par with Sasuke-kun!"
"He even has a verbal tic and whisker marks! How cute~!"
"Tch…this is like when Sasupimp came to our class. At least this guy is not a jerk…"
"Welcome to our class, Naruto-kun!"
Many of the students smiled and waved at him. The positive energy he was radiating was just too much for them. Even some of the boys who glared at him stopped their glaring. The jinchuuriki just smiled brightly at them, oblivious to the girls flirting.
"Naruto-kun is really friendly, ne Tsukune?" Moka asked her friend.
"True… At this rate he will be as popular as Sasuke-san!" Tsukune answered.
"I still wonder how he managed to become your friend Sasuke-kun…your personalities are completely different from him!" Kurumu said.
"Hn… Oh well, as long as he doesn't disturb me." Sasuke said while covering his face with his palm.
"Shhh! Uzumaki-san, why don't you sit over… there! The empty seat beside Tsukune-san!" Ms Nekonome said. Tsukune raised his hand to let Naruto know who he is, in case he didn't remember from yesterday.
"Sure sensei!" Naruto flashed his teacher a smile before sitting beside Tsukune. "Yo Tsukune!" The blond greeted the friend he just met yesterday.
"Hello Naruto-san!" Tsukune smiled at the cheerful teen. "I expected you to enroll here too since this is what happened to Sasuke-san after he came to this dimension."
"Hello Naruto-kun!" Moka said happily.
"Hey Moka-chan!" The jinchuuriki replied. Moka blushed a bit since he had already added the '-chan' despite just meeting her yesterday.
Naruto turned his head to look at Sasuke who was trying to avoid looking at him. "Hey teme! Why didn't you greet your best friend you prick!" He exclaimed loudly. All of the students looked at the two confusedly. Did the two hottest guys in the class know each other? And they were best friends?
Sasuke twitched. "Tch…shut up dobe. Stop creating a scene in the class while the teacher is trying to teach." He replied, annoyed.
Meanwhile, the girls were thinking another thing entirely. Two hot guys?! Best friends?!
"Gah! Don't tell me you're still mad because I slept on your bed last night?!"
Last night?! Slept on your bed?!
"Hn, it's your fault for hugging me from behind!"
Hugging?! F-from b-behind?! The girls let their imagination run wild…
-THUD-
All the girls had fainted from excessive nosebleed. Even Kurumu and Moka were unconscious. One thing was similar though, they all fainted with a smile on their face.
"...What just happened?" Naruto asked nobody in particular. Every male in the room turned to look at Naruto and Sasuke weirdly. Tsukune cough to get the two shinobis attention.
"Ano…You guys do realize that the way you argue make it sound like you were…ehem…last night…" He said slowly.
Sasuke quickly realized what they had just said and buried his face in his palms. 'I knew something would happen if Naruto is here…Damn you dobe!'
Naruto was still confused. "'Ehem'? What does that mean? Why did the girls faint?" He asked innocently. All the guys stare at him like he was dumb, which he kinda was.
"He meant to say that you sounded like you were having a sexual intercourse with Sasuke-san last night Naruto-san." Matatabi said passively.
"Matatabi-chan why said it so fast? Chomei wanted to see Naru-chan cluelessness for a while longer…" Chomei said downtrodden.
"S-sex?!" Naruto said loudly. Suddenly Ms Nekonome stood in front of him and tapped his head with a ruler.
"Now now Uzumaki-san, don't say such vulgar word inside the classroom on your first day." Ms Nekonome smiled at him, but the smile looked intimidating instead of comforting.
"Hai…" The blond said slowly. Thus the class continued, after waking up all of the girls and clearing the misunderstanding of course. The class lost its awkwardness when Naruto joked with the teacher, causing everybody to laugh. The class continued peacefully without any interruption…
"GAHHHHH! What kind of horrible Kinjutsu did I just face?!" Naruto exclaimed in his seat after the class had finished. Only Tsukune and the gang were in the class. Many of the girls had tried to invite Naruto to have lunch with them but he politely declined and promised to accompany them next time. The girls were happy as he didn't reject them, unlike Sasuke who completely ignored their requests.
"Ano…Naruto-san are you okay?" Tsukune asked his friend.
"Of course not! What the heck was algebra and why did the teachers gave so much homework?! Even my old sensei didn't give me homework during the academy!" The jincuuriki said while crying fake anime tears.
"Those subjects are what we must study in this world, get used to it." Sasuke said while smirking.
"Kuso! Don't tease me just because you're smart you jerk!" Kurumu, Tsukune and Moka sweat dropped at the scene. Suddenly their classroom door opened, and entered the cute witch Yukari.
"Naruto-kun! You're student in this school too?!" Yukari said before hugging Naruto tightly and burying her face into his stomach. Naruto just smiled and hugged her back. After they finished their hugging session, Yukari turned to face her new friends. "Hi everyone! Hi Moka-san!" And proceed to grope Moka's breasts from behind. Everyone laugh at her antics.
"So Yukari-chan what brings you here?" Tsukune smiled at the young girl. The petite girl released her hold from Moka's body and grinned at him.
"I just apologized to all of my classmates for pranking them, and they all forgave me!" Yukari said happily. "Some of them even said sorry for picking on me before!" She said while smiling gratefully at Naruto. All of them smiled at the young witch.
"Good for you Yukari-chan!" Naruto said as he patted the witch head affectionately. Yukari blushed and proceed to sit on his lap, before leaning her head on his chest.
"Yukari-chan really likes Naruto-kun ne?" Kurumu said when she saw the scene. The others nodded their head in agreement. Naruto was very good when it comes to kids or young teenagers. Probably because he never had a good childhood, he won't let anybody be lonely like him and will not let them fake their smiles anymore.
Suddenly Naruto's stomach growled loudly. He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment before asking. "Ano…Can anybody lead me to the cafeteria?" Everybody chuckled at his antics before going to the cafeteria together.
Naruto was at the school entrance stretching. He was planning on exploring the school and his energy was full so he's ready than ever! After all, he had just eaten 10 bowls of ramen during lunch just now. The gang except Sasuke was shocked after seeing him eating his food without stopping; they never expected him to be a ramen maniac.
Currently the school had finished and Naruto told his friends that he wanted to jog around the school and explore the academy. They all agreed and Sasuke told him to be back by dusk if he wanted to finish his homework. He agreed reluctantly and now he was ready to jog! After he started his jog, he observed the school grounds and looked at the trees and surroundings. He admitted that the school creep him out and he still can't believe most of the student were monsters.
After jogging for a while, he eventually stopped at a hill overlooking the red sea. 'Ehh…why not rest here for a bit.' He thought before sitting cross legged near the edge of the hill. He stared at the red sea and the dark skies with his cerulean blue eyes. While the scenery would probably look scary to most people, Naruto thought the scene was peaceful and calming. It feels like he can stop being cheerful all the time and actually act like his calm self. Naruto was known for his loud and obnoxious attitude; but only he, the tailed beasts inside him and some of his close friends knew this side of him.
When he was a child, he often kept a cheerful façade and let others think that he was happy, but in the inside he was very lonely. He didn't have anybody and yet he kept being happy for others. So when he was alone, he will drop his mask and reveal his lonely and calm side. Of course nowadays he didn't have to fake his smiles anymore, as his mask had actually become a part of him. But there were times when he still wanted to be left alone like he was back then as it had grown into a habit, so a peaceful place such as this was perfect. As he closed his eyes to blend in with the nature, he suddenly felt another person sitting beside him. Said person was a purple haired girl with blue eyes and pupils…
Mizore Shirayuki didn't know the boy sitting on her usual spot was. As far as she knew, she was the only one who had been in this place and she often used it to get away from other people and be left alone. Mizore kept watching the boy sitting on the hill curiously. When she realized that he probably would not be moving for a while, she slowly sat beside him. He didn't bother her, so she would not bother him either. She didn't even look at the stranger face; the only thing she knew was that he had a spiky blond hair. And he smelled like a human…
"This place is really peaceful…Are you here often?"
Mizore jerked a bit when she realized that the stranger was talking to her. She slowly buried her face into her knees and mumbled 'yes'. Suddenly the boy stood up and walked closer to the edge of the hill, his foot only inches away from falling. He put his arms behind his head while looking at the vast sea.
"Heh, well good for you, I thought I was the only one who appreciates nature nowadays." The blond spoke slowly. Mizore could see that he was happy, if that relax tone haven't showed enough.
"Why are you here?" She asked slowly.
She could hear the blond chuckled a bit before replying. "I was exploring the school when I found this place, then I decided to sit down and relax a bit." He paused a bit before saying. "Sure I have many friends to hang out with, but even an active person such as me needs some alone time now and then…" Mizore unconsciously nodded. "Everyone have their hidden side that nobody knows… most people know me as a cheerful guy that always makes others happy, but now I'm just your average guy that needed some happiness himself too. You know?" He chuckled before asking. "Say, where's your friends?"
Mizore buried her face deeper in her knees and slowly said. "I have no friends…" That's all she needed to say before she heard the stranger spun around his toes.
"Let me be your friend then." Mizore raised her head and finally saw the face of the stranger. He has the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen and a very kind face. He also looked sincere when he said that. But after looking at him for a while, she turned her head gritted her teeth.
"You're a human…You would probably hate me if you know what I am…" She said slowly. She then stood up and transformed into her Yuki-Onna form, making her hands and hair transformed into ice. "The first human I befriend with ran away when he knew that I was a Yuki-Onna…" She doesn't like talking about her past, but this boy was saying things he would regret. "What makes you any different? I don't need any friends! Nobody understands me…and they all just think of me as an emotionless weird girl!" She glared. But what he said next completely surprised her.
"…Just because you're an ice girl doesn't mean I have to run away. I don't want to hate a person when I don't even know anything about them. That's like saying a book is bad even though you never read it, ya' know?" He paused a bit. "…I know that even though you say you don't need any friends, you're actually lonely inside. You are depressed…but you hide it with an emotionless façade. Nobody tried to befriend you, so you hide your emotions away." He faced the ground. "Being alone is the worst feeling that anyone could ever hope for…After all, I had been alone and hated for so long, so I know better than anyone how hard it feels." He raised his head and stared at the teary-eyed girl. "So that's why…I don't care if you push me away, I would still befriend you and break that facade of yours! I would never let anybody feel the same thing like I did!" He said with determination. Mizore who was staring at the boy in front of her unconsciously let her tears flow down her cheeks. She was too surprised to say anything. Who knew that this happy-go-lucky stranger actually understand how she felt.
After a while, he walked closer and put his hands inside his pockets. "Besides… that guy was stupid if he was scared of you…because…well…I think you look beautiful in either form." He grinned with a slight blush.
Mizore was shocked when he said all that. She expected nobody to try and come to understand, let alone befriend her. She was very happy to meet someone as kind and thoughtful as him. A blush formed on her face after the compliment, and she quickly turned her head away, smiling. After a while, the purple haired girl faced the blond and said slowly. "Mizore…Mizore Shirayuki…" She paused a bit before continuing. "Thank you for saying all of that…" She reverted to her human form and smiled at him. "I…feel so much better now."
"Hah, no problem! The name is Naruto Uzumaki, believe it!" Naruto exclaimed happily. Mizore felt that they were already friends, despite just meeting each other moments ago. It was probably because of the positive energy Naruto was radiating and his friendliness. Naruto suddenly paused and looked at her in the eyes. "You know, I once had a friend that had ice powers like you too." He told her.
"…Had?" Mizore asked slowly. She noticed that the blond expression turned sad for a bit before smiling at her again.
"Well he died shortly after I met him…" Before Mizore could apologize for bringing back old memories, he ruffled her hair. "But don't worry; I will always remember him as a precious person of mine. He was the one who told me the way to be strong…" He looked happy when he said that. The jinchuuriki still remembered what Haku had told him.
'When a person… has something important they want to protect… that's when they can become truly strong.'
After a few seconds, Naruto suddenly took hold of her hand and smiled. "Hey, wanna accompany me in exploring the school? I'm new here ya' know?"
Mizore blush a bit and nodded. "Sure… I'm an expert when it comes to finding the best hiding spot in this school." Naruto looked confused, but grinned nonetheless.
"Lead the way then, Mizore-chan!"
As she held Naruto's hand, she placed her free hand at her beating heart.
'I wonder…what is this feeling in my heart…' She smiled and glanced at the cheerful jinchuuriki.
"Let's go…Naruto."
It was nighttime and Naruto opened the door to his and Sasuke room. The headmaster had decided to put them in the same room as they probably will be comfortable with each other. Sure…comfortable…
"Where were you Naruto? It is already night and you just arrive now?" Sasuke asked his grinning friend.
"Maa…Sasuke. I met a new friend just now! She helped in finding my way around the school too! Heck I think I now know my way around the school more than you!" Naruto replied happily. He and Mizore had explored the school thoroughly and had fun being with each other. Mizore was not much of a talker and was reserved, he noted; but she can be sweet when she wanted to. Naruto also told her that he was a ninja and an awesome one at that. In return, she told him that he was probably considered as a border being…and he told her he had no idea what that is. Overall, it was a fun trip for Naruto.
"'She'? I just left you for a while and you already got yourself a girl? And you called me a jerk…" The Uchiha smirked. Naruto blushed a bit before retorting.
"Gah I'm not like Ero-Sannin teme, I don't hit on every girl I see! She was just a friend!" He paused a bit. "Though she was very cute…" He grinned.
"*Sigh* Now what will you do about your homework? You didn't finish it yet you know?" Sasuke stared at his friend passively.
"Oh well. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" And three Naruto clones suddenly appear in front of him. "I command you to do my homework and finish it by tomorrow morning!" That's all he said before he took off his shirt and jumped on his mattress. "Ahhh so comfy…" And he proceeded to go to sleep.
"Tch, just because he is the original…" The clones grumbled and started to do his homework reluctantly. Sasuke smiled a bit, before jumping out of his window to do his daily training.
'Everything suddenly got more interesting with you here, huh Naruto?'
Next morning
"This academy goal is to train monsters to adapt to human society…just as I've been saying all along…So that means, starting today you're all going to take up club activities!"
Everyone listened to what Ms Nekonome had said attentively. Many of them were excited to be in a club, even Sasuke.
'Hmm, I wonder if they have a club involving swords…' Sasuke was awakened from his stupor when he felt Kurumu pulling his shirt. He looked at the succubus and saw her smiling at him.
"Which club will you enter Sasuke-kun? I will join any club you join!" Kurumu said gleefully.
"I'm not sure yet, let's go to the hallway to see all of the clubs available." He replied. Suddenly, Tsukune and Moka stopped in front of his and Kurumu's table.
"Let's go find some clubs together Sasuke-san, Kurumu-chan!" The human said with a smile. They nodded before Kurumu noticed something.
"Where's Naruto-kun?" They looked around to search for the blond, but Tsukune's cough interrupted them.
"He told me he will go and find Yukari-chan in her class. Let's go by ourselves for now, maybe we will meet them later." He said. Sasuke shrugged and stood up from his seat.
"Hn, let's go then."
When they arrived at the hallway, it was filled with many people promoting their clubs. Many of the guys glared at Sasuke and Tsukune as usual for being surrounded by two beautiful girls. Many guys from creepy clubs tried to invite the two girls to join their weird clubs, but a quick glare from Sasuke scared them all away.
"Moka-san…why don't we join the swimming club!" Tsukune suggested, although his main reason was actually to see Moka in a swimsuit. Moka widened her eyes slightly as she hugged her body with her arms. Sasuke noticed her discomfort and wondered why. Before Moka could say anything, they heard some people shouting about the swimming club having hot and sexy girls.
Suddenly a beautiful girl with turquoise colored hair in a bikini move towards Tsukune and smiled at him. "I'm the swimming club captain, Tamao Ichinose. I heard you wanted to join the swimming club?" Tsukune nodded shyly. "The swimming club is all female, the ladies will end up paying a lot of attention to the boy who joins our club!" Many of the boys widened their eyes after hearing that.
"Me me, I'll join!"
"Me too!"
"I wanna swim with you too!"
The boys cheered loudly. Soon Tsukune also nodded and took Moka's hand and went to the pool with all the others. Kurumu wanted to follow but Sasuke gripped her hand tightly before she could move.
"What's wrong Sasuke-kun?" Kurumu asked her Destined One worriedly.
"I'm not sure, but I feel that something is wrong with the club…I think I will get some information about the club first…" Sasuke said seriously. "In the meantime we can look for any other clubs as well." Kurumu looked back and forth between the huge group of swimming club and Sasuke. She sighed and held the Uchiha's hand. She knew that as a ninja, he would probably know when there is a danger more so than anyone else.
"Alright Sasuke-kun, how will we get our information?" She asked. Sasuke thought about it for a while before answering.
"Let's go ask some 2nd or 3rd students, they would probably know about the club more than us." And they proceeded to walk around checking the clubs while asking about the swimming club.
"*Slurp* Ahh this noodle taste so good! Not on par with ramen, but still good!" Naruto said as he finished the bowl of noodles in his hand while walking beside Yukari who was still eating her noodle. They had gotten them from the cooking club when the club decided to give the students free samples of food.
Yukari wiped her mouth with her hand as she too finished her noodles. "You are right desu! The noodle taste good! So what will we do now?" She asked her brother figure. Naruto rubbed his chin thoughtfully before grinning at her.
"Hey…I heard that the swimming club is the hottest club right now…how about we prank them?" He said mischievously. Yukari returned the grin before dragging him to an empty classroom. She closed the door behind her and looked at the blond.
"So what's the plan?" Yukari hesitated for a while before saying slowly. "…Naruto-niichan…?"
Naruto smiled brightly, brighter than any of the smiles she had seen from him. "Ha! You finally called me nii-chan! I'm so happy!" In an instant, he already hugged her tightly and started to spin her around. Yukari blushed but returned the hug affectionately. After spinning for a while, he put her down and smiled.
"So here's the plan, when they are busy swimming; we will take all of their school uniforms and taunt them with my clones. When they get angry and chased the clones, we will take that moment to chill the water until it become as cold as ice!" The blond told her. "It is a simple prank, but it will be fun to see their reaction! Imagine them walking around the school without their clothes on and was shivering!"
Yukari grinned brightly but her expression turned into one of confusion. "But how can we cool the water, niichan? Do you have a ninjasu for that too?" Naruto chuckled and tap her head softly.
"It is ninjutsu Yukari-chan. But no, I don't have any jutsu for that, well at least not without crushing the whole school..." He mumbled the last part silently. "Instead, I will ask someone else who can! Since pranks would be more fun if there are more of us doing it together!" The blond told her.
"Then who is this person who can?" The young witch asked curiously. Naruto grinned and sat cross legged as he closed his eyes. Yukari also sat down, confused at what he is doing. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and carried her on his back.
"Close your eyes." The witch was puzzled but did it nonetheless. Suddenly she felt her body moving in extreme speed for a few seconds before feeling normal again. After putting her down, Naruto spoke again. "Open your eyes now, Yukari-chan." When she opened her eyes, she was baffled as she realized that they were on the rooftop. She looked at the blond who was smiling proudly at her. "Just pure speed, no jutsu."
Suddenly she heard footsteps coming after them; she turned around and saw a purple haired girl with blue eyes that wore a different kind of uniform than most of the students. As for Mizore, she was shocked to see Naruto suddenly appear in a yellow flash with a girl.
"Yo Mizore-chan! This is Yukari-chan! Yukari-chan, this is Mizore-chan!" Mizore nodded at Yukari briefly before returning her attention towards Naruto.
"Naruto…? What are you doing here?" Mizore asked, confused; said blond rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before replying her.
"Hmm… I managed to find you since I sensed you here, well I'm a ninja after all!" He said proudly. He then rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Wellll you see…me and Yukari-chan here," Yukari waved her hand timidly. "Are going to prank the swimming club, and we need your help!" Naruto said while clasping the both of his hands together in front of him.
"My…help?" The snow girl said confusedly. Yukari stood in front of her and put her hands on her hips, grinning.
"Muahaha, the plan is to take the swimming club members uniforms and distract them with Naruto-niichan clones! Then when they are distracted, you will freeze the pool, well not completely but enough to make it cold!" She paused for a bit. "But how can you do that? Naru-nii told me you can…"
Mizore showed the girl her ice claws, and Yukari immediately know what she was. The witch then beamed and took hold of both Naruto and Mizore hands. "Let's go, let's go desu! I can't wait to see their reaction!"
Naruto laughed while Mizore smiled at the young witch. A prank sounds fun, and at least she get to do something with Naruto…
"They are mermaids? And they usually suck out the new male club members life force?!" Kurumu half-shouted at the random 3rd year who told them about the nature of the swimming club, causing everyone to look at her. She hurriedly buried her face into the shoulder of Sasuke to hide her embarrassment.
"Tch, I knew something was wrong with the club. Kurumu let's go!" Sasuke quickly took hold of her hand and ran toward the direction of the pool while bumping several students on the way. He can't get there fast since he can't jump around, because the hallway was still packed with students. 'While I am very fast, I can't weave my through everything like Naruto, curse him and his legendary speed!' He thought inwardly. "Let's just hope Tsukune can take off Moka's Rosario, her vampire power is the only that could save Tsukune right now."
Kurumu widened her eyes. "Oh no! Sasuke-kun! I remembered something! Vampires weakness is water, and Moka is a vampire…at this rate they will both be in danger!" She said frantically. Sasuke cursed inwardly, no wonder Moka looked worried when Tsukune said he wanted to join the club. He can just hope he or Naruto could get there in time.
Tsukune was feeling very guilty. He had hoped to see Moka in a swimsuit, but she had told him that she didn't like swimming. He was heartbroken at first, but then Tamao had hugged him and invited him to swim in the pool. At first he was happy to be praised by Tamao and for some reason she had let him touch a certain 'parts' of her body. But Moka got angry after seeing him getting touched by Tamao so openly. He told her that he just wanted to swim with her, but she replied that he was the one who didn't understand her. After Tamao splashed Moka with water, she suddenly looked pained and ran.
Tsukune sighed and slowly faced Tamao. "Um…Tamao-senpai…I'm sorry, but I don't want to stay in the swimming club." He said as he bowed to her. 'After all, if Moka isn't here, then this is just…'
Suddenly, he heard Tamao chuckled. "And just when I finally managed to chase off that bothersome Moka, isn't the fun just beginning?" Her hands suddenly become webbed and she was grinning menacingly at him. He can also see her tail wrapping around him. 'A-a mermaid?!' Tsukune thought.
All of a sudden, the human heard someone shouting. He turned his head and gaped at what he saw. Two of the swimming club girls in their mermaid form were biting a guy and after a while, he turned into an old man. Soon, all of the guys were swimming in panic while trying to get away from the chasing mermaids. Tsukune tried to swim but he felt someone hugging him from behind.
"Don't need to panic, it's fine…You're special, Tsukune." Tamao said, grinning evilly. "The truth is, I've had my eyes on you since the entrance ceremony…it's just you see, you have a yummy smell, just like a human, Tsukune-kun! I've always wanted to eat you up!" She slowly opened her scaly mouth to bite him.
"TSUKUNE!" Moka shouted at him.
"M-Moka-san!"
"What, are you back again?! Don't get in my way, not that you could! You're nothing but a worthless monster that can't even swim!" The mermaid grinned.
'C-can't swim?!'
"I'm right aren't I? There's nothing you can do is there? After all, water drains vampire energy! At least you can watch quietly from over there…"
Moka suddenly dived into the water, not caring about her safety anymore. Her inner self screamed at her for being a fool; but she didn't care, as long as she can save her dear friend Tsukune. When she got in the water, her body was immediately shocked painfully. The human swiftly swam towards her and hold her unconscious body.
'Moka-san…what have I done…' He hugged her body tightly. "F-for-give m-me…"
'Forgive me Moka-san!' Tsukune thought before he took off the rosary around Moka's neck.
A huge splash suddenly occurred in the water, and a powerful supernatural energy was immediately felt by everybody. A silver haired girl with red eyes replaced the pink haired Moka.
"No…this overwhelming feeling…so this is the rumored true form of Moka…" Tamao whispered to herself.
Inner Moka glared at the mermaid furiously. "How dare you treat me like this…!" Her red slit eyes making her look more intimidating.
"Tch! Come on what is this? Why won't you get out of the way?! I had my eyes set on Tsukune-kun and I'm never going to give him up for someone like you!" Tamao growled. Truth to be told, it's not like she was obsessed over sucking the life force out of anybody. She didn't actually like it, but as a mermaid, she had to do it to sustain her youth and life. Even though she and the other mermaids in the club sucked these new members life force; they will not kill them. The guys who had been turned into an old man will usually regain back their youth after a day or two. But this boy, Tsukune, smelled exactly like a human. For that, she can't resist herself from biting and sucking all of his life force.
"Girls, attack!" Soon, all of the mermaids were surrounding Moka, trapping her in a whirlpool. "Heh, I don't know how strong you are…but in our territory, mermaids will always be victorious!"
Moka smirked. "Hmph, coming from a low class that can't think of anything but food, don't make me laugh!" She said as she elbowed a mermaid that tried to attack her from behind. In an instant, many of the mermaids rushed in to attack the vampire. Moka skillfully dodged many of them, causing them to crash into each other. She then used their body as a stepping stone to jump higher into the air, as she know that she will be very weak if she was exposed to the water for a long period amount of time. She also planned to lure them to attack her in the midair; and attack they did.
Many of them jumped high into the air to try and hit the vampire, but they completely forgot that a midair fight was not a mermaid's territory. Moka kicked one of the offending mermaids in the chin and deliver a right hook to another. She kicked a mermaid in the back and jumped higher. Once she was high enough, she executed a deadly axe kick; eliminating most of them easily. But before she could land, she saw that Tamao, the only mermaid left was grinning at her. Before she could think about it, she heard the mermaid shout.
"Hydro Blaster!"
Moka failed to dodge the blast of water as since she was still in the midair, her movement was limited. She didn't expect the mermaid to be so smart and blasted her while she was vulnerable. The vampire cursed inwardly for her carelessness. As she fell from the shock of the water blast, she could hear Tsukune shouting her name desperately.
'Tch…pathetic. You should've realized my weakness sooner…human…'
Around the same time…
"Hehehe, good work for stealing all the clothes. Yukari-chan, Mizore-chan!" Naruto said happily as he tied another one of the uniforms to a huge pole made of ice, courtesy of Mizore. "Now I only need to have my clone wave this flag made up of uniforms, panties and bras in front of the swimming club, and lure them away from the pool!"
Yukari and Mizore nodded. They really had fun taking all of the club members' uniforms, pants, under wears, panties in the changing room. Yukari can't wait to see their face when they realized their pool was freezing!
"Naruto-niichan let's go now!" The cute witch said as she tugged the sleeve of the boy's uniform. The blond ruffled her hair and nodded. Suddenly an identical clone appeared beside him, and took the 'panty flag' as Naruto dubbed it. The clone nodded and disappeared in a flash. Soon, the trio also got out of the room wearing a grin on their face, except for Mizore, who was neutral.
Suddenly Naruto saw Sasuke and Kurumu got out of a huge crowd. They looked rather tense. The cheerful blond waved at them and moved closer. "Yo teme, Kurumu-chan! What's the hurry?" Suddenly Sasuke turned and looked at him in the eyes seriously. Naruto immediately knew that something bad was happening, and tensed himself as well. "Sasuke, what's the situation?"
"The swimming club is dangerous. The senior female club members are mermaids and they usually suck the life force of the new members." Sasuke said sternly.
"Why do they need to do that?" The jinchuuriki asked. Yukari immediately raised her hand.
"Naruto-niichan, mermaids need to suck out other people energy so that they can sustain their youth and life. Legends said that they cause shipwrecks by luring in ships with their beauty and suck the life force of the males in the ship. Although they are feared, there are some mermaids who are not dangerous and only suck out a bit of life force just to live." The witch said intelligently.
'So…they are just doing it for their lives…' Naruto thought. Suddenly Sasuke looked at him grimly.
"… Tsukune is there too. The president of the club, Tamao Ichinose was the one who lured him into joining the club." The Uchiha told him. "I told you about Moka's sealed vampire form before right?" The blond nodded. "Kurumu told me that vampires are weak to water, so she may be in a disadvantage." Yukari widened her eyes as she started to get worried for Moka. Mizore didn't know what was happening but she knew that it was bad. She was ready to assist Naruto if he need her help.
"Tch, then what are we waiting for? Com-" Naruto stopped and put a finger on his temple. "Shit! I just got my clone memory, silver haired Moka is currently in trouble!" He knew this since his clone had immediately dispelled itself the moment he saw the scene. "Sorry guys I must hurry!" That's all he said before disappearing in a yellow flash. All of them except Sasuke gaped at what they saw.
"Hn, Naruto can handle most things there. But let's just go and help them anyway, the pool is close." Sasuke said and the group quickly sprinted towards the direction of the pool.
Seconds before Moka fell into the water, she felt someone carrying her. She opened her eyes and saw a blond with blue eyes staring at her, concerned. "Are you okay, red eye Moka-chan?" Naruto asked worriedly.
The vampire stared at his face for a few seconds. 'So this is Naruto…this person aura is way warmer and brighter than that Uchiha…So comforting…' She quickly realized what she was thinking and pushed him away from her.
"I'm fine, now get out of my way. I have to defeat that low class monster." She said huffily, but anyone could easily notice the tinge of pink on her cheek…except for Naruto.
The blond stood in front of her protectively and said. "No, you are hurt. Stay back and let me handle this." He said seriously. Before Moka could retort, he glanced over his shoulder and repeated in a deeper voice. "Don't even think about moving." Moka glared back briefly, before sitting down in exhaustion. He was right after all; the blast had really drained her vampiric energy severely. Tsukune rushed to her side and tried to help her, only to be growled at.
Tamao glared at Naruto. "Tch, not you too! Hydro Blaster!" She blasted a wave of water, but the blond simply waved his hand and the water disappeared in an instant. Tamao gaped when she saw her attack had not affected the blond at all.
Many of the mermaids who had been defeated by Moka were awaken by the time they see Naruto's power. They quickly swam to the edge of the pool to escape from the blond, but black flames suddenly surround the pool; preventing them from getting out. They then tried to jump over the flames, only to realize that their lower body was encased in ice.
Naruto grinned at both Sasuke and Mizore who were flanking him. "Thanks!" He then jumped over the flames and rushed at Tamao. The mermaid already realized that she will not win, so she slowly close her eyes, waiting for her eventual demise…
But instead, she felt a pair of strong arms encircling her. Tamao opened her eyes before looking up, and saw a pair of blue eyes that was staring at her softly. Everyone else gaped at what they saw. They were sure the blond was going to kick the mermaid ass for hurting his friend. Mizore twitched slightly; not comfortable seeing him hugging another girl. Naruto started to speak.
"I know you guys are not doing this intentionally…You're only doing this to sustain your life right?" He asked the girl in his arms.
"…Yes, but what I did was wrong…This was supposed to be like any other year, we sucked the new members life force and leave them be later on…But Tsukune-kun smelled too much like a human…and I got out of control…" The mermaid said regretfully. She sniffed a bit and widened her eyes. "No get away from me! You're a human too aren't you! I don't want to get out of control again!" She tried to push him but his grip was strong. Slowly he patted her head.
"Don't worry…I'll give you some of my life force." He smiled at her. "Just promise me you guys will not do these types of things again." Tamao wanted to ask how can he gave her his life force, when suddenly she felt and incredible amount of very strong life force radiating from the blond. Soon, all the mermaids in the pool were absorbing the energy pouring out from Naruto and were quickly energized. Tamao can feel the potent life force Naruto had and slowly hugged him. After a few seconds, the blond let go of the mermaid.
"So now that you guys are full, can you stop biting people now?" He asked with a charming grin. They all nodded; some of them were even blushing. "Now that's all settled, I will go check on Moka, see ya later Tamao-chan!" Tamao could only waved when she looked at the back of the blond…she had never met anyone who was so kind. Slowly a blush crept on her face. She was too occupied thinking about him that she didn't notice her friends calling for her.
With Moka
Moka was surrounded by her outer side's friends. One of them was shaking her quite roughly.
"Red eye Moka-chan are you okay?" Naruto said while shaking her shoulders. He was worried the water had hurt her; vampires are weak to water after all. Moka growled and pushed his arms away.
"You are strong, but I could have defeated the mermaid even if you didn't interrupt." She said slowly. Suddenly she heard the blond chuckled. "What's so funny?!"
Naruto stopped laughing and rubbed the back of his head. "It's just that…you look cold and mean outside…but you actually care about your friends…" He looked at Sasuke. "Just like that tsundere guy over there." Sasuke glared at him. Moka stood up, but didn't reply.
The others watched curiously as she took her rosary from Tsukune and slowly turned around to face them, but she was actually only focusing on the crouching Naruto.
"…Thank you…" She mumbled and gave a small smile, only noticeable to the trained eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, and attached the rosary on her necklace. The rosary snapped into place and she returned to her pink haired self. Moka opened her eyes and Tsukune immediately hugged her and repeatedly apologized to the girl. She hugged him back and forgave him. Everyone stared at the heartwarming scene, smiling.
Suddenly, Yukari grabbed Naruto's hand. "Nii-chan! What was that huge energy I felt?!" She asked curiously. The others also leaned in to hear.
"Ano…Sasuke can you explain?" He asked the Uchiha pleadingly. The Uchiha smirked and turned around, walking away.
"Explain yourself, dobe."
One day later, After school.
Rooftop
Naruto and Mizore were lying on the ground while gazing at the clouds. Just now, Tsukune and Moka had decided to join the newspaper club. Thus Kurumu had also joined, dragging Sasuke along with her. Yukari also joined the club since Naruto said that 'clubs would be fun if you have your friends along with you'. Now Naruto was trying to convince Mizore to join as well.
"Come on, it would be fun! You can befriend them too-Oh look at that chicken shaped cloud!" Mizore glanced at her friend and sighed.
"Naruto…It may be easy for you to say, but I'm still not comfortable around other people…You're probably the only one that I'm close with." She said calmly.
"What about Yukari-chan? You got along well with her yesterday-Ha that cloud looks like a shrimp!" Naruto said enthusiastically.
"Well…I guess…that's because you were there…" The snow girl said with a blush; the blond then rise up to a sitting position and grinned at her.
"Then I'll accompany you to the club! I'm sure they will remember you from yesterday! Come on the club is fun…I guess!" He said happily. Mizore stared at the boy beside her with a smile.
"Maybe one day I'll join Naruto…but not now." She said slowly. Naruto pouted and lie on the ground again.
"I guess I could wait…Then again, I would probably ditch the club activities anyway! Hey look at that cloud, it looks like Sasuke's hair! Haha, duck butt!" Naruto exclaimed happily.
Mizore slowly turned her body to look at him. She didn't know if she was in love with the boy who she just met a few days ago. But even if she's not, then maybe she will soon enough. She smiled fondly at the blond and he returned it with a grin.
'As long as I'm with you, everything is fine…Naruto.'
A.N.: This chapter focused more on Naruto. Several girls will like Naruto and Sasuke, but the ones with the most votes (Mizore and Kurumu) will have more development.
