Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
Mitsuri was excited.
She was impossibly excited, since she had a date with a handsome, powerful man. He wasn't JUST that though, he was also casual, and kind to add to it. He even asked her out on a date, and not the other way around. Obviously, the date was going to be taking place after the sun went down, and even more obviously she needed to keep her sword on her just in case since her date wasn't exactly somebody they were suppose to just trust.
The master stated that Naruto was to be accepted, but he was to be treated as a potential future hostile enemy.
She didn't know what to wear to her date that would compliment her looks.
"Can you not do that here?" Shinobu asked as she looked at Mitsuri, who was changing in and out of different kimonos while inside of her lab. She was currently researching Naruto's demon blood, since she had never gotten the chance to research the blood of such a powerful demon. Naruto was a demon that was simply too much for Hashira to handle, meaning she could test a lot of things on his blood. "... What are you even doing?" Shinobu actually wanted to ask about that though.
Why was Mitsuri in her lab in the first place?
They weren't particularly close, they were both female hashira and had a decent relationship, but to say they were close enough for Mitsuri to strip to her underwear right in front of her was not true at all.
"... You're super smart, and you're super close to Naruto... do you think there is a chance of... you know?" Mitsuri couldn't believe it.
She didn't know if she wanted to wear western underwear, japanese underwear, or if she wanted to wear nothing at all under her kimono. She knew that some dates could end in things getting heated, and she didn't know if she was the type of girl who would do that on the first date or not. She didn't even know if she would be fine with it going that far or not with a guy she just met.
What if he seduced her?
She HAD to be prepared for the situation in where he seduced her, so she had to wear nice underwear just in case her charmed her into bed.
"What does Naruto have to do with this?" Shinobu didn't understand why Mitsuri was bringing up Naruto of all people as an explanation for why she was constantly stripping out of her clothes and trying on new ones. She was researching his blood at the moment, as well as one of his fangs, and a hair sample from him.
He grew them right back.
"Well... aren't you close to him?"
"I am, he is a friend... why are you bringing him up though?" Shinobu still didn't get the reason why. Mitsuri had only known Naruto for about 2 days. She shouldn't be this excited to bring up his name like that.
"We're going on a date tonight!"
-With Naruto-
"So... this is kind of boring."
For security reasons, during the day he was suppose to stay inside of a secured room with no windows or light at all. It was sound proof for the most part, and the door only had a small slit for people to talk to him through it.
Naruto hoped this was not a permanent thing.
Well, at least he had a date with Mitsuri at night to ease his extreme boredom. Naruto had given his sword to the hashira, so they could take it to the swordsmith village and get it treated with some iron that could kill a demon.
"Naruto... why did you ask Mitsuri out on a date?"
That was Shinobu's voice.
"I asked her out on a date, because she is pretty, and seems fun. Are you jealous?" Naruto teased Shinobu through the door.
"Not at all, but you're a demon, and she is human... are you sure this relationship will work out... also... the others won't trust you." Shinobu was working hard to try and research Naruto's potent blood, to see if she could return him back to his human life. He wasn't making it easy for her though by doing suspicious things like asking one of the Hashira out on a date, right after meeting her. "... Naruto... you are the only demon I trust, but... please... if you feel any urges."
"I've had sex."
"If you have other urges... please... I'm working on a way to turn you human again, please... don't tempt yourself." Shinobu knew that Naruto did still have those urges, as much as he pretended to be okay, he was starving himself by demon standards. If he nibbled her neck just a little too hard, or sucked on her lips a little too much, he could unleash his wanton hunger.
The two of them shared a silence.
"... Heh."
"Promise me Naruto that you will be careful. Also... Mitsuri... really... she is a hopeless romantic, and desperate. If you were looking for a girl, I have a younger sister who I could introduce you to. She has her own issues, but I feel a man like you could do her wonders." Shinobu would rather that Naruto go for her own younger sister. There was a bit of an age gap between them, but that didn't matter to her very much. She just wanted to help her younger sister, and her older sister's weird ass demon friend.
She wanted everyone to be happy.
"Actually, I do have another objective by trying to date Mitsuri. You see... that woman is the opposite of you... she is very strong... she is almost too much of a good fit for a swordsman." Naruto could smell her unique body. How densely packed her muscles were, how much nutrition that could be gained by eating her
She was truly uniquely suited for murdering demons.
Shinobu leaned up against the door.
"Too much..."
"Yeah, too much. She's a good woman, she is a good woman down to her very core. This life was not the life that was made for her. She truly, truly does not hold any real hatred towards demons in her heart... unlike you." Naruto could tell that sort of thing. Mitsuri was just too much of a sweet treat for her own good.
"Am I not a good woman?" Shinobu caught that.
"Shinobu, you are beautiful, feminine, and smart... but you are also aggressive, sadistic, and downright malicious towards your enemies. Nothing against you, but despite not being suited for combat... your sheer hatred and anger has allowed you to become a very good demon slayer... you are a problem child." Naruto laughed when he could feel Shinobu's jaw drop at the casual insults.
"Ah... You're right, but did you have to say it out loud?"
"Shinobu, I love you very dearly as a friend... so yes, I had to point out your flaws. You deserve the truth... and Mitsuri deserves to have a fun date tonight. Oh, do me a favor and tell her my favorite color is orange."
-Later-
"His favorite color is purple."
"A purple kimono... oh, I should see if I have orange underwear!"
"His second favorite color is bright green." Shinobu stated with malice in her smile. She was going to approve of the date, but for Naruto's teasing she was going to make sure that Mitsuri did not wear his favorite color to the date. Mitsuri was getting dressed up, and Shinobu looked at her and saw her pure, innocent smile. "... Actually, I think orange would look better on you... here, lets get you fitted."
No.
Naruto was right, Mitsuri was a pure girl and this date should go well. She should support the date, as a comrade and as somebody who wanted to see Naruto happy as well. She wanted both of them to be happy with each other during the date, even if she had to get her revenge in some other way that was even more petty.
"I got a date with a real guy, me, I got a date." Mitsuri started to skip off to meet Naruto.
Actually skip.
She was just THAT happy.
'She really is a girl... I hope they have a good date.' Shinobu took a breath.
She was going to find a cure for the demon infection for sure.
