Standing outside one of Konoha's hot springs Sakura was busying herself with looking between the letter and one free hot spring visit coupon she got in the mail that morning. 'Why did she send me this' the pinket wondered to herself as she tried to image what sort of nefarious situation the lilim princess was concocting.

"Are you going to just stand there all day?" Ino asked snapping Sakura out of her thoughts as she turned to look at the blond standing next to her.

"You got one too then?" Sakura asked with a somewhat amused expression as she held up her letter for the girl to see more clearly.

"Yep" the blond answered as she brought out her own letter. "Any idea what she's planning?" the girl asked as she moved the hand with the letter in it to rest on her waist.

"Not at all" Sakura said with a sigh as she lazily throws up her arms and shrugged. "Might as well get this over with" the pinket said as she turned back towards the entrance and proceed to walk in, Ino following right behind her.

Entering the check in room the two shinobi were met by a relatively young woman with jet black hair pulled back into a bun and wearing a light pink kimono with a white flower pattern running up her left side and a yellow obi keeping it tied shut standing behind the front desk. With an apologetic smile the woman began to say "I'm sorry but we're closed for the day. You'll have to-OH!" before seeing the pieces of paper the two girls were holding. "Forgive me. You must be lady Aria's guests. Please proceed, I'm sure she's waiting for you" the woman said with a small bow. Giving one another odd looks the two girls silently made their way to the woman's changing room.

Several minutes later - Inside the hot spring

"You two decided to come after all!" Aria joyfully said as she watched the two young shinobi walk out of the changing room. The lilim was currently enjoying the warm water of the spring as she, along with most of her home's occupants, as she relaxed along the side of the hot spring with her white hair done up in a loss bun and the water covering her naked form from mid breast down.

"I don't remember these hot springs being so large" Ino voices her curiosity as the two of them reach the water's edge.

"We asked the spring owners to take down the wall separating the girl's and men's side of the hot springs when the girl's side started to become too crowded for us" Suki informed them from her little corner of the spring as she brought out a portion of her long dragonic body for emphasis. "They've been kind enough to do this every time we rent out the springs after" the ryu added as her body sank beneath the water's surface once more and she reached over to grab hold of her glass sitting next to her.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense" Ino comments as she and Sakura slipped into the spring. Both girls were surprised that nothing weird had happened or was happening when they arrived, positive that the demon princess would be up to something.

"It sounds like you've been coming here for a while. I thought you were trying to keep a low profile all these years" Sakura points out with a teasing expression, hoping to get even a little bit of an edge over the monster.

"Enough money will keep anyone quiet" Zabuza Answered before Aria could herself. Turning to give the man sitting behind a rock blocking him from view of anyone entering from the women's side an odd look the two of them quickly did a double take as their odd looks became one of shock as they rapidly back away from the naked man sitting just out of arms reach of them and nearly slamming into Aria.

"It's not just the money lady Aria and her family have donated" a woman with long light brown hair pulled into a braid that went down her back, emerald green cat slitted eyes, long canines, two cat ears sticking out the top of her head, furry paws for her hands and feet, and two tails sticking out of the back of the same kimono the receptionist was wearing commented as she leaned down to hand the muscular man his drink. "It's an honor to have a daughter of the royal family visit and an even greater honor to have her be such a regular customer" the nekomata said as Ino and Sakura gaping like fish out of water as they started at the man while covering themselves with their arms.

"You sure you're not just happy to have use visit because Aria and Naruto introduced you to your husband?" Miaka responded, refereeing to the spring's owner. Turning around with a faint blush adorning her cheeks the nekomata mumbled something to herself before walking back to the building leaving the fox as her many tails swished around her, Hinata, and Kuranai with a victorious smile playing across her kissable lips.

"I bet you two were excited when you received my invitation, no?" Aria asked the two girls next to her after the attendant exited the hot spring.

Shakily turning their heads around to send the lilim hate filled looks before the two yelled out in sink "Why the hell is he in here with us!?" while keeping their chests covered.

While Aria was busy getting the ringing sound out of her ear Carolye wanted to add her part to the conversation. "Where else would he be?" the holstaurus asked not entirely seeing why the two girls were so upset.

They were about to berate her for what they saw as a stupid question when Rae silenced them by wrapping tendrils of water around their mouths. "Would you two stop yelling? We're suppose to be relaxing" the magically gifted girl said as she sent them halfhearted glares from her spot a few feet on the other side of Aria. "Besides, he's not even the only male here" the lich said directing their attention to where everyone was.

Straight and to the right was Miaka, Hinata, and Kuranai. Miaka greatly enjoying the company the two provided her as Hinata tried her hardest not to faint from being in a miked bathing hot spring and Kuranai, for the most part, was there to keep Aria from turning her student into a sexual deviant.

Close to them sat the holy warrior that stayed with the group. Freya was perfectly content sitting away from the 'corrupted' members of the household and just kept to herself.

All the way to the right of them was Suki who's large body took up the majority of the leg room around her despite her trying to take up as little space as possible.

Between Suki and Rae sat the two remaining members of the Uchiha clan, much to their surprise, enjoying a bit of mother/daughter time.

To the left of them sat Zabuza without a scrap of clothing on him, showing his face and razor sharp teeth as a result. Next to the imposing man sat the newest addition to the Uzumaki household. The lizaedman had mostly kept to herself when she wasn't trying to prove her worth the the man she had asked to marry a few days ago. Rounding up their little group Haku sat with her back propped up against one of the rocks sticking out of the water for a natural look while facing the two swordsmen.

At the edge of the spring behind Haku had Carolye relaxing as she let the warm water support a good portion of her breasts weight and taking it off of her back. Next to her was the houses maid Adil leaning back with her arms resting on the stone floor behind her and eyes closed as the hot spring did wonders for her stressed muscles.

Further left where the 'men's side' was connected by a narrow section of water Shikamaru was sitting with his back facing them as Ma sat pressed up against him and Choji sat a few feet away on the other side. Opposite from them was Kiba and Kamas, and on the far side of their side sat Shino, still wearing his sunglasses, with the familiar girtablilu laying down behind him with her chin resting next to his shoulder.

Out of the water Baako was enjoying the steam that rose from the water much like the living doll and her pink slime friend who sat at the water's edge by themselves.

"Aren't you two suppose to be shinobi?" Zabuza questioned as he looked at the two out of the corner of his eye. With the two girls glaring at him the man said, more to himself, "You lot of brats get creped out by a little skin showing, pathetic. I guarantee you're going to end up seeing a lot more junk in future missions. Might as well suck it up now and get over it" and with that the man proceeded to ignore the two girls.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll adjust in no time" Aria said with a warm smile as the water around their mouths dropped back down to the rest. "If it makes you feel any better Rae had trouble the first few times she came to the hot spring with everyone else" Aria said with a small wave of her hand, causing Ino and Sakura's annoyed expressions to turn to ones of confusion as they looked from the lilim to Rae, who was sending the white haired girl her best death glare, and back to Aria.

"You're joking, right?" Ino asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, have you met Rae?" Sakura asked.

With a roll of her eyes the lilim told them "Of course. We've know each other for years". With a smile Aria turns to look at Rae "She had such bright violet hair, fair skin, and she wasn't very good at hiding her emotions" Aria said as she patted the annoyed lich's head. Glancing back at the two girls' disbelieving stares Aria decided to add "She also happened to still be human when we first met".

"She use to be human!?" the two ask in unison as Rae removes Aria's hand from her head.

"I don't know why your so surprised" Aria comments with a wide grin. "If you'd just asked anything about our past I'm sure you would've know by now. We're not keeping our pasts secret you know?" Aria tells them as she leans back against the spring's edge.

"So we just have to ask and you'll tell us anything?" Sasuke asks as she drifts over to them having been half paying attention to their conversation.

"But of course!" an elated lilim said as she clapped her hands together.

With her eyes and grin widening the gender challenged Uchiha let everyone know her request as she cheerfully asked "Can you tell us about one of Naruto's adventures? I barely know anything about what he did before we graduated!". Hearing her joyful request some like Shikamaru and Choji simply gauged still getting use to the personality change this Sasuke has, while Zabuza just huffed pretending not to be paying attention, and her mother looked on happily as her child smiled so joyfully, even if it all but required a sex change.

"Sure, anything specific?" Aria asked, finding the girls enthusiasm cute.

"How he became a hero would be nice" Ino said drawing everyone's attention to her. "What? It'd be nice to know why everyone's always praising him in their world" the platinum blond said, mostly to her pink haired friend than anyone else.

"Oh, nice choice!" the demon princess cheered as she sat up straight. Turning to Rae the lilim asked "Do you want to help tell the story? I'm sure their a parts you remember better than me".

"Sure, I can do that" Rae informed the girl.

"Wonderful! Now let's start at the beginning shall we? It all started when mother sent me and Naruto on a diplomatic mission in Vaiphate with Dottye a little over four years ago" Aria began to detail their adventure to anyone willing to listen.
