As Time Passes Us By; Chapter 3

T.L.S

(THE LAST SHINOBI)

"It's never nice to lose someone close to you, unfortunately, life goes on. And we have to make with it and move on." - The One Who Knows All

"A ninja's life is not measured by how he lived, but rather what they managed to accomplish before their death." - Jiraiya, The Gallant

Let it be known that Rias Gremory was anything but a bad friend, or King for that matter. She had always been benevolent in many ways, kind, and caring to her peerage.

Her generosity being a prime example of this, she had gotten Koneko an ankle bracelet for her birthday to signify their friendship.

Imagine her surprise when the girl had forgone the present in exchange for a different bracelet, which hadn't had half as much jewels as the one she gave her! It was lined with diamonds and gold for christ's sake!

Why Koneko saw fit to wear the one with mostly silver chains instead had utterly baffled her. It was almost a insult to her pride, nevertheless if she saw fit to wear one she had got herself she couldn't blame the girl.

'But it was a birthday present.' The crimson-haired gremory had spent her entire allowance this month to get her hands on it!

Though that wasn't the main problem that lead her to the situation she found herself in, Koneko's lateness.

It was becoming a problem.

A week ago she had confronted her about obtaining gifts from a boy that signified her first tardiness, her response had been that whoever the mysterious similarly aged boy was a friend. Which had waned most of her worries, after all she had been all too curious who Koneko would accept a gift from.

And if Koneko didn't see fit to inform her of the man she wouldn't fault her for it, wasn't like it was her business in the first place. But she was making it her business today.

She had been late everyday for the last week!

This couldn't become a constant, no not at all, not when she had duties to fulfill. She had summoner contracts that she ignored in favor of ...something.

'Is it him again?' Was all she could ponder, she had no clue what her kitten Rook did outside of her duties towards her King, she had allowed them lead their own lives after all, so long as they always answered her call.

'Not when I call three to five times, then answer!' Okay, she was fuming, but she a right to do so. It was almost becoming annoying constantly having to pull on Koneko's piece to get her to respond.

The deviled-youth didn't even signal if she was coming, usually they'd be at her beck and call before she had to try summoning them, if she needed Koneko's magic circle to get her to come that would be all too much work for the girl.

If the nekoshou was becoming some sort of delinquent then god help her.

So here she was, tracking Koneko down, following her as she went to god knows where in the morning. Usually Koneko had stayed in the complex owned by the Gremory house till seven o'clock, the time they each had been ready to leave for school. Sometimes walking with the other if they ended up taking the same route.

On the other hand the girl in question had been leaving near thirty minutes earlier for the entire week to do whatever it was she felt the need to do.

Around the same time she noticed she had obtained gifts from a boy.

Her suspicions arose all the same with the inkling of this information.

Seeing the girl turn a corner away from the school she followed suit. 'Why is she going away from the school?' Rias felt a small pit of worry enter her system, maybe this truly was the reason she was always late.

With the sound of her ankle bracelet jingling it wasn't hard to follow, it had two jewels hanging from a chain that always clanged together after all.

It seemed that she was only getting farther and farther from the school until she stooped underneath a pole and leaned up against it, observing once more that her eyes seemed to dart around for the tenth of a second before taking place upon a staircase leading up into an apartment complex.

At that point it was very clear that she was waiting for something, 'Or someone.'

Fifteen minutes passed, and Rias had almost given up and went home, all too bored of staring at the girls monotonic face. 'What am I even doing?' This didn't have anything to do with her at all.

Her boredom subsided when she noticed the look on her Rook's face take a drastic turn completely catching her off guard, 'Is she ...smiling?' It wasn't the biggest smile, but if you looked at Koneko's straight face everyday for three years, you would damn well notice the difference.

She could only compare it to night and day, looking to see what the object of her newfound joy was, she observed to see a blonde man who stood at almost twice the size of Koneko had exited from the base of the complex. 'So it is a boy.' And a delinquent nonetheless if his blonde hair was anything to go off of.

Her jaw damn near dropped to floor at seeing her own peerage member was the first to speak, and she didn't even speak to her less she had spoken first to the neko.

Almost wishing she was close enough to hear was being transpired between the two she noticed it had turn into somewhat of a short conversation between them before they had started walking in the direction of the school.

In her direction as well, but Rias stayed in the corner of the alley intent on at least hearing something from the two, they would definitely be talking about this.

Friends didn't walk more than half a mile to a friends house to walk them to school! At least girls and boys didn't, teenagers at that, her original idea was to intercept the two and confront the man to tell him off.

But it was all too obvious that whoever this was, Koneko had a high level of adoration for the man. She damn near clung to his side as small as she was!

She also observed that Koneko's hand was slowly inching toward the taller blonde's, 'Does she want to hold his hand?!' the red-haired teen nearly squealed on the spot, okay so maybe this wasn't so bad.

He had a good affect on Koneko if anything else, the Gremory had never seen Koneko look so.. Happy. And that was good for a change, she could never bring back the light to Koneko's eyes, she thought it impossible almost, taking it as that was just her new personality.

Today proved her entirely wrong though, as a side of her she'd never seen had came out. She felt the voices reach her eyes indicating their closeness to her position, "You didn't text me last night, Naru." She told him almost accusingly.

Seeing a near exasperated look cross the what looked like whiskers teen, "Ko-Chan, I've gotta get some sleep after work y'know? Can't stay up past twelve texting all night everyday." She saw the blonde get poked in his side for the response, They have nicknames for each other? Koneko had never even gave her a nickname aside from her usual calling of Buchou.

That wasn't even a nickname, merely her title as the president, 'Alright I won't interfere with her relationship, but we've gotta work on that tardiness.' She'd allow Koneko to do as she pleased for the moment, again, let it be known she was anything but a bad friend.

And bad friends didn't ruin moments for their friends. She wouldn't allow that to happen less she set herself back a few months with her own progression with her Rook.

Taking note of the blonde's looks once more, a stray thought crossed her mind for a moment, 'Doesn't he look like the one Sona had been scouting out?' She'd heard him mentioned during one of their encounters, a blonde boy with face tattoos that held the potential for a sacred gear.

It wasn't a definite observation but he had potential, and if that was the case she wouldn't mind all too much of Koneko's new boy toy, if he was aware of the supernatural that was even better for her. Then once more another stray thought went through her mind like a deer spotted by headlights.

'Maybe I, should try reincarnating him into the peerage.' Increasing her own senses out and trying to get a feel for the blonde's magic affinity the idea was quickly scrapped, he barely had a single drop of magic energy from what she could tell, but there was something else there.

As if he had another source of energy, it was almost unnoticeable, but that could very well be one of the weaker sacred gears. Something that wasn't enough for him to earn a place among her peerage.

Rias could never tell why Sona had given pieces to even the ones with the lowest amount of potential for greatness, for all she knew there wasn't even much of a chance they could be used to help the girl break from the chains of arranged marriage.

They were both in the same predicament, while the Sitri had the quantity, she held the quality, for even better of an example she had come to find out that the next eventual member of her peerage was a Longinus wielder.

The magic affinity he possessed felt strongly dragonial after all. If it wasn't a Longinus it would be something powerful, and that was more than enough to handle Riser should the need come to it for a Rating Game.

Yeah, Sona could have this one, with a burst of her own magic power underneath her she quickly teleported off in the direction of the school, specifically her club room.

Little did she know a certain whiskered-teen stopped and looked directly towards her direction upon usage of the spell.

T.L.S

The bell for lunch had rung, Naruto made his way towards the rooftop as Koneko had something she wanted to tell him during the time, luckily they had the same lunch period.

The two only had three such periods out of eight in conjunction with each other, every other period they didn't see each other in.

They would meet at homeroom, which was a short period only fifteen minutes, see each other from time to time during the mess hall hour, then meet at the end of the day in their P.E class.

If you wanted to know specifically what his schedule had been, it went a little like this.

Homeroom; Room 256

History; Room 181

Biology; Room 222

Pre-Calculus; Room 81

Lunch; Lunch Room

Social Communities; 100

Physical Education; Gym Room

Study Hall; Library Room

Now it was quite known throughout time that Naruto was never one for anything academical. That included his experiences in this world. He was a simple man though, if Koneko didn't share the class, he didn't show up.

The real him at least, the Uzumaki had clones that would quite unwillingly take his place in the class. Though the clones were him after all, so it annoying having to argue with the damn things about going in his stead, 'School?! No! You didn't summon me up to waste my time boss!' Only if they were simple and just got the job done.

They knew exactly what he wanted after all upon being summoned, yet they pretended they didn't in favor of trying to do something else. 'Damn clones.'

It had almost turned into a brawl more often than not upon the clones remembering they could take a punch or two after the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Why couldn't they just be obedient clones like Kakashi's, or hell, even Sasuke's clones didn't try fighting with him, as little as he used the technique.

When it came to the Pre-Calc class he had, they were hard pressed not to make an appearance, instead choosing to skip the class from time to time and go bother Koneko who had a class held within the Library at the time.

Feeling the urge to run and hide when they realized their owner was in search of them, no doubt intent on dispelling them had they not fulfilled their duty.

Yes, clones were bastards. He decided mentally before opening the door to the roof, raising a eyebrow in a tiny bit of surprise he gave the white-haired youth that sat on a bench in front of him, "You got here before me? That doesn't happen often."

And it really didn't the girl seemed to almost aways be busy with something, either a friend or a club activity, "I told you, I have something I want you to try." She replied almost bashfully in a way.

She seemed shy about something, and what was that on her lap? His sharp eyes could see all too well the small blue container that sat on her lap.

Had she gotten him a gift as well? He stared for a moment before seeing her pointed look and her patting the spot next to her obviously intending for him to take his spot next to her.

Giving a slight smile at the obviously nervous girl he strutted over and sat down next to her, even sitting he towered over her small frame. Her scooting a little closer to him was something he didn't mind.

An almost sweet smell wafted up into his nose, though it was a closed container it was nothing he enhanced senses couldn't pick up. 'Food?' If she went out of her way to provide him with a lunch he didn't mind, in fact it was kind of touching in a way.

Seemed as though this girl was intent on being the first for a many of different things, after all he had never been treated to a lunch by any girl his age. He almost snorted at the thought, he really wasn't quite the ladies man like his rival, who had been offered for the chance more times than he could count.

He wondered where Sasuke was for a quick moment before shutting down the thoughts of the raven-haired teen, there was no way he was sent to this world with him after the destruction of their own world.

The Sage could scarcely recall that the Goddess they fought used a combination attack seal with Zetsu, ending with flinging the two Six Path Chakra wielders to a different dimension upon usage of her world ending technique combined with a sealing from Zetsu that interacted with his own.

In was in all actuality just a very huge Truth Seeking Orb, ever expanding and destroying everything whilst they fought.

They had passed many a worlds during the usage of the attack, before coming to a stop in the one they, or him resided now.

He had spent the first two months in search of Sasuke, but this world was many times larger than their own, their being more than a single continent as proof of such. Therefore he gave Sasuke a grave among the many gravestones he dug in the name of his friends.

Besides he was sure he would've sensed something from the other teen by this point with his near godly senses. True, he hadn't tapped into the power of Sage Mode or even his Chakra modes but he wasn't sure if the last would even work.

Kurama had been asleep for a year straight after all, recovering what he could of his own chakra. And the Chakra mode was pure chakra he had stolen from the fox in the first place.

Gifting him reserves that dwarfed even the foxes' own. A sudden realization hit him for a second, almost throwing him off of his seat, what if he gave that chakra back to him. Would he wake up?

For a while he thought Kurama wasn't even inside of him anymore, his absence proving a great deal of sadness to him. Turns out the fox was somewhere in a corner of his mind trying to rejuvenate.

"Naru!" He heard her call to him almost irritatingly, ah, he forgot where he was for a moment, too lost in his own thoughts, "Sorry about that, just thinking about.. things?" His excuse was met with a deadpan face from the girl, who had obviously been calling him by name enough to raise her voice slightly.

Raising both hands up in defense he quickly came up with a better one, "It's very important though, a revelation if you will." Yep, he had learned quite a bit in this new world, increasing his vocabulary as he had done so, reading dozens of books on a new world could do that to you.

Seeing the girl raise an eyebrow with the intent for him to at least explain a little, he relented. "It has something to do with home."

The girl's mouth made a 'o' in understanding, as far as she knew whatever Naruto's home was, he didn't like talking about it much. Just that something terrible had happened judging from the almost brooding look he had done whenever she brung it up in the past, he even walked out on her a few times because of it.

Koneko felt a sense of accomplishment wash over her, 'He's finally feeling comfortable enough to tell me about his hometown.' She knew the boy was a Nine-Tailed Yokai of some kind, his warm fox feeling chakra being proof enough of that.

But he wouldn't even mention anything of his home to her if he could avoid it, but it seemed he was all too warmed up to her that it was changing. She knew she had made immense progress in their relationship, heat coming to her face a little at the thought of 'Relationship.'

Shaking her head to rid herself of the blush she focused on the matter at hand. "I prepared a lunch for you." The shorter teen stated simply, lifting open the small box, letting its smell flood her nose.

On cue her own stomach had growled, eliciting a chuckle from the blonde next to her. Blush rushing full force back to her she hastily picked up the boneless chicken she prepared with chopsticks and damn near shoved it into his mouth.

"Good?" She asked him before he could even start chewing, if he could laugh in the moment, he would. The younger teen's cover up was hilarious to him, amusement dancing in his eyes as he gave her two nods in quick succession before holding his hand out to her whilst he chewed.

Unknowing of what he wanted she stared confusedly at him for all of a second before he pointed at the chopsticks in her hand and held his palm out once again.

'Did he not enjoy me feeding him?' Alright, so what if she wanted to feed him, it was a girls dream to do the act of feeding their love interest right? 'Love?'

Koneko was sure she liked the boy, but loved? She couldn't tell herself yet, never experiencing the emotion prior being the reason for it.

The nekoshou had only known him for a couple months after all, it wasn't possible right? Handing him the chopsticks she observed him picking up one of the same boneless pieces of chicken she had forced down his throat, and held them up to her?

Today she was blushing a lot, and even she knew it at this point. 'But an indirect kiss?!' Thoughts were running a mile a minute in her mind, he had to have known what this meant!

Hesitatingly opening her mouth she observed him gently place a hand under her chin, no doubt not trying to ruin her lipstick as he performed the act.

Her entire face was red now. Lipstick included, she had only put it on today as a form of somehow attracting the attention of the older teen, hopefully it had an affect.

She had given her first kiss to the boy, even if it was indirect, therefore could no longer bear to look him in the eyes without a blush arising to burn her face even more.

Now this was definitely what the couples she'd seen in multiple TV shows did.

Much to Naruto's amusement the girl had turn all too entirely pink when he fed her in exchange, he wasn't going to eat all of the food if she was hungry from what he could tell. That would just be a dick move, picking up one of the fried fish he held it up for just a moment, long enough for her to turn back to him and quickly nibble down on half of it.

Not understanding why she hadn't eaten the entire thing a confused look crossed him for a moment, before she then in turn pointed towards him, she still had been looking the other way after all, further confusing him. "You finish it, this was for you in the first place."

Oh? So they were sharing food now, he would've ate from the other end of the fish but seeing her eyes hesitatingly look over to him he gave in and gobbled the entire fish down in a jiffy.

Giving her a smile as he did so, "Hey, this is pretty good y'know?" And it was, the girl was an amazing cook if anything. "You're a really good cook, Koneko." Was his next phrase, picking up another fish and taking an all too enthusiastic bite out of it, before lifting the other half towards her.

Seeing her hastily munch down on it brought a smile to his face, she was just too cute for her own good.

"You wouldn't mind if... If I did this more often then?" Too cute for her own good. He almost picked the Devil up there and then and squeezed her, twiddling her fingers and rubbing together her thighs at the same time. She didn't need to be so nervous when it came to stuff like this.

"Of course not, in fact you should do it more." He all but insisted. Hey, he might even bring her some food of his own next time, 'Actually on second thought, probably not.'

The last shinobi was many things, a great cook however was not one of them. Naruto understood not everyone enjoyed the taste of ramen as much as he did after all.

T.L.S

Buchou wanted to speak with the nekoshou, she knew not why but couldn't quite object to her calling. Though it had actually pissed her off that her lunch with Naruto was cut short for the calling of her King, she had almost ignored her for a minute, 'Things were going so well too!' she silently fumed in her mind as she made her way there.

She quickly calmed herself down, whatever it was, it had to be important. The president had never called unless she had a mission after all, but at this time of the day? While they were all in school nonetheless.

Reaching the doors of the Occult Research Club she had virtually almost ripped the handles off the front entrance from how hard she grabbed and ripped open the doors. So maybe she wasn't that calm.

"You called, Buchou?" She answered her with an all too sweet tone on her straight face.

Rias seemed to squint at her for a moment, 'Is she... irritated?' The girl was almost oozing it off her very short frame, the tick mark on her forehead only adding onto that thought.

Nodding her head at the younger teen, "Yes, it's about that boy you were with earlier." She got straight to the point, after all what else was there to talk about on short time? They only had fifteen minutes left after all.

Her Queen's eyebrows rose up, "Ara ara, a boy?" She wasn't informed of this.

Koneko's irritation left her for a moment, she was sure she left the house while Rias still was in the bathroom after all, how could she have possibly known?

Surprise was obviously riddled over her face, 'Was I seen by someone?' it was well known she was one of Rias' club members, she hadn't paid much attention to her surroundings after all, the white-haired neko was sure there was no fallen angels in the area after all.

Naruto had her undivided attention at the time. "Naruto?" Forsaking his nickname in the moment she questioned, "The blonde one with the tattoos."

Rias had no clue if Naruto was the said boy, so she mentioned his features to clarify, continuing "If you are pursuing anything with the boy, by all means I wont stop you. But if that boy is the reason you are always so late to our meetings then I insist you stop seeing him. I have no desire to see you become a delinquent." The taller Devil beside her was flabbergasted.

Koneko was embarrassed for all but an instant, she had been noticed entirely then if she was able to figure out her pursuit of the whisker-faced teen. "I apologize Buchou, I won't be late again." Turning to leave she was once again stopped by the voice of the one who summoned her presence.

"Wait I have another question." She was trying to hurry back to Naruto before he left the rooftop! What was it now? "Is he aware of the supernatural?" What had brought this up, did they detect Naruto's chakra?

Not one to lie, "Yes, he is." Was the answer simply. She saw an all too interested look cross Rias' face before she leaned forward on folded hands, "Is that what caused you're interest in him?"

Well no, "He has chakra too, thats why I spoke with him." She didn't like the turn this conversation was taking. She had no intention of telling her every detail about the boy but the more questions she asked, the more she had to answer.

And she owed the girl too much to lie straight to her face.

If Rias couldn't learn any further forwards well, she found a way too, "Oh? Chakra, when did you come upon this discovery?" Rias knew she wasn't too great at sensing energies like chakra as it was foreign to her own, but if he had chakra maybe he did have a good amount of potential.

After all Koneko barely tapped into her own and she was powerful. "Around four months ago." Four months and twenty days to be exact, but she didn't need to know she knew that.

"And you didn't think to speak with me about it?" Rias said almost accusingly, they were supposed to report to her immediately if they found potential members for the club after all.

Koneko seemed to frown slightly, "I didn't see a need too, sorry." It was a lie, she just didn't want Naruto to come into contact with either of the two and instantly somehow fall in love, though that was months ago.

She knew the boy well enough now to know he wasn't that type of person, but Rias and her Queen had every boy in the school falling down to kiss feet at the mere mention of their names.

Rias looked over to Akeno apparently had come to the same conclusion although, 'She's not telling the truth.' That worried her. Koneko never lied, maybe this boy wasn't having such a good impression after all.

She was keeping something from her perhaps, "Did you figure out what Yokai he is?" Only Yokai can use chakra after all, but they gave off a signature that seemed to be of many a multitude animals, last time she checked Naruto seemed human.

Maybe a human Yokai hybrid?

"He's a nine-tails, Buchou." He had to be if he was a fox Yokai, Naruto gave off a signature that made her own seem like a single drop of rain, whilst he was the entire cloud itself.

Rias' eyes widened dramatically, Nine-tailed Yokai had potential to easily become Ultimate-Class Devil's! If she could recruit him, then he could quite easily defeat Riser, "You didn't see fit to inform me of THAT?!" She practically yelled, causing everyone present in the room to wince.

Not even giving her a chance to speak, "You have to bring him to me after this day is over." She all but demanded, she had to hurry and reincarnate him before Sona did.

"No." Huh? Koneko didn't say no to her.

An all but too prominent frown was now formed on the near five foot girls face. "Naruto's mine. Keep you and you're boobies away from him."

Audible laughs bursted out of the Nadeshiko's form, "She told you Buchou." Came the teasing giggles. Rias was astonished from the girls newfound protectiveness over the boy before facepalming in realization, "Wait, I'm not trying to steal him from you. I just want to reincarnate him into one of us!"

It was starting to make sense the more she thought about it, the reason the girl had hid his existence from him was due to the fact that literally every boy in the school either was in love them or decided they were the object of their carnal desires. Obviously she was a girl with her own wants and needs, and probably felt as though it would be best to keep this Naruto character out of their line of sight.

Koneko sighed to release her slight bit amount of jealousy, "I know Buchou.. It's just, can we wait a while before doing this? I just want a little more time." Once, no if Naruto became a Devil then his time outside of working would be all but gone, fulfilling contracts and they wouldn't have much if not any Naru and Koneko time as she liked to call it.

Rias was dumbfounded, Koneko was a girl who spoke in singular if not three word sentences, that was the longest sentence she'd heard the girl speak in well, years.

Giving the girl a nod she then spoke, "Fine, you have till the end of this week." That was all she could give. It was Wednesday after all, and Sona was known to move quick.

Gratitude in the younger girls eyes, "Thank you, Buchou." And with that the doors to the Occult Research Club closed.

"Seems like Koneko finally fell for someone." Akeno all but stated with a surprised look held in her eyes, Rias couldn't help but feel jealous toward her younger peerage member.

She wanted to have the same experiences in school, love, dates, and all that. But alas life was a bitch. Here she was stressing about getting out of a arranged marriage for most of her high school life.

While she knew she could have any man she wanted, even at her age, she wanted something special. Not arranged, not with any of the average men who just fell pray to their inward desires as soon as they laid their eyes on her.

Though she knew it was an affect of her race as a pure Devil, she obtained a body that would further make all her contracts all the more easier and fulfill any future cravings she held.

"Yeah, yeah she did." She said almost solemnly. Rias didn't mean it in a negative way towards the Rook, she simply was just a tad envious of her.

Either way, she decided to look at the bright side, if everything went well, she'd gain another peerage member! A powerful one at that.

T.L.S

Naruto felt as though someone was staring a hole through the back of his head, usually he never attended class. Nevertheless his clone had given him feedback that something suspicious had happened in this class.

At the time he was busy sleeping in a nearby tree so the memories that happened to be given back were sort of hazy to a degree, not to the point that he couldn't remember anything though.

Just enough that he knew something was off in this class, and he could definitely feel what his clone had felt. Someone was staring him down.

If he had eyes in the back of his head he'd be looking straight back at whoever the person was, however he didn't so he'd just look back to let them know he saw them.

That'd be enough to get him to leave him alone right? After all it was pretty strange to be staring another person down for two days straight in a class room.

Making a one-eighty his head turned to look straight at the person in question, she had a bob cut just below chin-length, purple calculative eyes that reminded him of Sasuke and with glasses of the same color to match.

Having a staring contest for all of a few seconds he rose a eyebrow as if to ask 'What do you want?', which only seemed to make her interest arise even further which he noticed all too well. Giving her a deadpan he turned to look at the board in front of him.

'Well that didn't exactly work.' That was annoying. Nothing he could do about it, oh well. She could stare all she wanted it wasn't like it'd get a direct response out of him.

Turning his senses up to the max he let his chakra layer out the room, trying to get a definitive feel of the girl. 'Crap.' She was one of those Devils.

The Uzumaki been doing all he could to seem normal, how had he attracted the attention of another one of them? It wasn't like she had any chakra to sense his, what could it be?

Maybe a companion or friend of Koneko's?

Right, thats what it had to be, but he had never seen Koneko be around her not even once, so something wasn't right. Well it wasn't like he monitored the girl twenty-four seven, shrugging it off he figured she had to have something to do with the tiny cat-like girl.

Gazing to the board in front of him he definitely regretted making an appearance in the classroom. Naruto almost felt bad to the boredom he subjected his clones too.

But hey, isn't this what they were for in the first place? Settling on those thoughts he let his head hit the desk as he decided to sleep off the rest of the period.

The Bell rung so loud he almost threw a shuriken at it in reflex.

Getting up from his desk he grabbed his books and quickly blended in with the crowd of students eager to leave the room, using a slight bit of footwork to dodge and weave between them with any opening he saw.

The reason for his slight bit of hurry? It was about to be P.E, aka time to see Koneko, so you couldn't blame him for the briskness in his movements.

Walking down the hall he entered the boys locker room for a quick change of clothes. Entering he heard mutters of someone who went by the name of Himejima, no doubt figuring out who they were talking about in a millisecond.

The girl in question, or girls judging from the Gremory name he heard next were no doubt Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.

The blonde understood they had the same class as him before two o'clock, meaning as he went in, they came out. So all the men who resided in the building at the time moves at the speeds similar to him to make it to the classroom, if only to get a glimpse of the Two Great Ladies.

He snorted, if those men had lived in his world they would've gone crazy at the thought of the Nadeshiko Village, or the Uzumaki clan's women.

It wasn't nothing he hadn't already seen before, even if their boobs were gravity defying and bigger than his head.

Reminding him of characters like Hinata and Tsunade if he was honest, and he wasn't that much of a boob person. Neither was his sensei Jiraiya though, just one of the things they had in common.

Slipping into his gym uniform he left the locker room to attend the class.

Before the class could truly start he found the object of his speed to the class. She looked as if she wanted to say something though, "Ko-chan? What is it?" questioning as he placed a hand on her head, that she all but leaned into.

"Friday, Friday I need you to go somewhere important with me." Important? Friday? On a free day? Was she inviting him to... her house? Or on a date? No, he'd be the one to initiate that, that much he would make sure of.

So he was invited to her house then? "Friday? Alone? Just the two of us?" Just to make sure.

"Yes, alone, me and you. Just follow me after the day is over."

Oh shit.

He'd never done this before.
