The Knight Of Mahora Academy
Period 28: Kyūbi's Best Day Ever
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Come on, Boya! You have to do better than that!"
"Y-Yes Master!"
"Is that fear I hear in your voice? Haha, well at least you've kept enough mind for that!"
"Y-Yes Master!"
"More confident Boya! I won't waste my time on cowards!"
"Yes, Master!"
Kyūbi opened one eye and looked in the direction he heard all the commotion. He closed his eyes and grumbled, "Fucking hell, hard to believe one bitch and a child can make all that noise. Don't they know I'm trying to sleep?"
"Well you sleep all the time," Naruto noted while flipping through his papers, "So they'd have to stop doing anything that makes noise to accommodate the endless hours you spend sleeping on your ass."
"Exactly. Be a little more considerate."
"Go to hell."
Kyūbi opened his eye and watched Naruto dutifully revising notes and grading papers. He scoffed, "You're wasting your time doing that? I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely enough the Little Red Moron would do all that busy work."
"Negi is busy training and doing everything else. And this is my work anyway." Naruto replied with a smile as he wrote down notes and checked his work, "Plus this is kinda fun. It's interesting to see so many different and varied answers from so many students. But I'm having a hard time reading some of their handwriting. It could be better."
"You. Have. No. Right."
"What?"
"You're criticizing other peoples' handwriting?" The fox asked condescendingly as he raised his head, "I've seen your handwriting! It's chicken scratch! Like your hands have been replaced by little toddler hands holding crab claws while you get electrocuted!"
Naruto raised the paper he'd been writing on and tilted his head, "I can read it just fine."
"Yeah but you're the only one who can! In any world! I get a migraine trying to decipher that shit!"
"You're being overdramatic." Naruto ignored his oldest companion's gripes and reached for his drink-
"HAHAAAAAA!"
The ground trembled from the force of an explosion and the drink spilled over on the notes-
"SHIT! SHIT!" Naruto immediately gathered the papers and got what he could away from the spilled drink before it could absorb any more. He held up the soaked papers and cursed, "Fuck me! Fuck me! FUCK ME!" He put them aside gently and stomped his way outside, "EVA!"
"Oh no, he's got his whiny bitch voice on. What Dumbass, can't you see we're in the middle of training?"
"Yeah! I know! All your shaking around spilled my drink all over the papers I was working on!"
"O-Oh no! Nii-San, that's terrible! We need to dry them before the work starts to run!"
"Well, that's your fault."
"Fucking excuse me?!"
"You just sit in my resort doing your work and expect everything to be just fine? You have no one but yourself to blame."
"Screw you, you walking amber alert!"
"What'd you call me?!"
Kyūbi groaned as he heard the argument escalate into name-calling and throwing blows. He grumbled as his ears lowered and he covered them with his paws to try and drown out the sound.
As he did, Negi walked in and looked around, "Papers. Papers-"
Chamo emerged on his shoulder, "Aniki, over there! There they are!"
"Oh!" Negi rushed over and picked up the soaked papers, "Not too bad. If I hurry I should be able to fix them." With a quick incantation, Negi placed his hand on the soaked paper before drawing his palm back. The sweet drink Naruto had been partaking in that stained the pages drew out of the paper with barely any damage. After making sure the ink didn't run and everything was safe, Negi lowered the drink back into the glass with a smile, "Good. We made it just in time."
"Way to go Aniki!" Chamo cheered his charge on enthusiastically. After their papers were secured, the little ermine looked over and saw Kyūbi grind his teeth in irritation, "Boss, you okay? You look a little-"
"No, Albert, I am not okay!" The little seven-tailed demon yelled out spitefully, causing the young Welshman and faerie to flinch back in surprise, "I'm trying to nap but there's so much talking and noise and bullshit that I cannot!"
"I-I'm sorry, Kyūbi-San," Negi apologized, "I didn't know you needed to sleep. Do you have a headache or pain perhaps?"
"No, I just want to sleep."
Negi and Chamo shared a look, "Hey Boss, I noticed that you sleep and nap a lot. Is there a reason for that or-"
"I sleep because it is the only thing I can do without drawing attention."
Negi tilted his head curiously, taking the seat Naruto had occupied before to sit across from the fox while Chamo jumped to the table, "Why is that, Kyūbi-San?"
The fox let out a long sigh before lifting his head, "There's nothing I can do here without drawing a crowd. If I was to walk around at a larger height, talk, or interact with others then I would draw a lot of attention. And it would be a scramble to explain it, wave it off, or wipe the memories of people too freaked out about it. Far too much hassle just being able to walk around. Unlike the other world."
"I've never been to Mundus Magicus," Negi stated before asking curiously, "Is it so different from this world?"
"The population is predominantly non-human, so there are many creatures and demons and such walking around. There aren't exactly beings quite like me over there but my appearance and existence are such a non-factor that I barely even draw the eye. Not like here. So I have to stay quiet to avoid a scene."
"Well when you're over there, what do ya do, Boss?"
Kyūbi rested his head, "Eat. Drink occasionally. Run around and stretch my legs."
"Well, even if I can't condone the drinking, those are things you can do regularly and in the confines of a separated space like this, Kyūbi-San. And yet you still seem bored and unfulfilled."
"Yeah, you need to spice things up, Boss!" Chamo announced, "You gotta get a hobby!"
"A hobby?"
"Yeah! Something to do that will occupy your time and have fun! Change the status quo! Liven up your days! Something that'll get you out of the rut!" The little ermine proudly stroked his chin, "I for one love to collect the rare and desirable armaments of battle-"
"Albert, I am not nearly as intrigued with erotica and female clothing as you are."
"Why ya gotta say it like that?!"
"W-While Chamo-kun's example isn't very good, he isn't wrong." Negi smiled, "You should pick up a hobby, Kyūbi-San. Something to occupy your time and excite you. Chamo-kun has his," He hesitated to say anything but nodded, "Right, and I study and try to collect old magical items for my collection. I've always been fascinated by the technology and artifacts of the past. I'm sure Nii-San has something he does to pass his time as well."
"He seems particularly fond of the picture books from this world and the other one. Even though he lives scenarios like that every day, he enjoys the stories and characters."
"Exactly Boss, something you can enjoy! That's what ya need!"
Kyūbi scoffed, "Hard to do that when everyone would freak out looking at me."
As Kyūbi lamented and Negi and Chamo worried, they failed to notice the tuft of green hair poking around the doorway and listening to their conversation.
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Hmmm," Negi stretched his arms as he made his way over to the teleport pad, "We got in a lot of good work done before bedtime. And you got to finish all your paperwork too. You've become a trusted teacher's assistant, Nii-San."
"Uh-huh."
"Nii-San, are you okay?"
"Little sour you're still beaten up fighting Eva-sama, Aniue?"
"I didn't get beat up!" The blond yelled back indignantly with some scuffed clothing and marks on his face, "I wailed on her just as hard! It just doesn't show up as well because of her damn immortality!"
"And you barely even touched me!"
"I shoved my foot up your ass and you know it!"
Naruto spat back his insult before he disappeared with Negi in a flash of light out of the resort.
Eva shook her head pitiably, "What a baby."
"Why am I here?" Kyūbi groused in Chachamaru's arms, "Have I finally broken your patience and you're going to kill me in what I can only assume is some twisted, sexualized blood sacrifice ritual? Gotta say I expected nothing less of you."
"While I would like nothing more than to kill you and finally rid your awful presence from this world - no, that's not what this is." The little vampire crossed her arms in a huff, "Apparently when I got Chachamaru I received the 'bleeding heart' edition of her. Because she heard all your whining about being bored and asked for my assistance in fixing it."
"Are you going to let me kill you?" Kyūbi asked excitedly as his tails wagged, "Because you heal instantly and that sounds like a fun afternoon."
"I know you'd just hurt yourself trying to do any damage." Eva roughly flicked his nose and earned a snap at her fingers, "No we're going to come up with some solutions. Your problem is you can't do anything without drawing attention as a fox?" She cracked her fingers, "Then let's see how we fix that."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Naruto-kun," Konoka looked around curiously as the young man emerged from the bathroom after changing and washing his face, "Have you seen Kyūbi-chan? I can't find him anywhere?"
Naruto dried his hair before shaking his head, "Haven't seen him."
Negi looked at Chamo, "I haven't seen him since Master's resort."
Chamo sucked his lip, "You think he's okay?"
"He'll be fine." Naruto waved off their concern, "Don't bother worrying about him."
Asuna scoffed, "Geez Whiskers, you'd think you'd show a little worry for the Furball."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
Eva and Chachamaru looked up at the gargantuan fox towering over them, "Same size as when you were in Kyoto?"
"That's right."
"And this is your max height?"
"For now. I may grow bigger as I regain my tails."
"Well, you can change size between a regular fox, a horse-sized fox, and a kaiju so you're used to metamorphosis."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
Konoka got into bed and looked around in worry, "He's still not back yet."
Naruto yawned on his couch as they got ready for bed, "He's fine."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"I don't understand!" Eva yelled over a pile of papers and equations she had been drawing up for hours now, "You've been a part of the magical community for over a decade now! How have you not endeavored to study any form of magic or spell?!"
"Always seemed like too much work. Plus I usually manage just fine."
"But there is so much more variety in what magic can do!" She slammed her hands down on the table as Chachamaru delivered a bottle of wine for them, "That's what this whole goddamn experiment is about!"
"I don't know what to tell you."
"Just tell me you're a lazy stupid fool!"
"You're stupid!"
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Zzzzzzzzzzz-"
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Oh! Oh, you've been ostracized and hated by the people around you?! Boohoo! Try being locked up for years as a correctional experiment only to be abandoned because your jailer is a fucking idiot and is most likely dead!"
"Waahaa! I'm locked up in a giant city filled with people and things to do! Woe is me! Trying getting locked up inside a person's body where you have no freedom whatsoever! Then you come bitching to me!"
Chachamaru looked at the bickering duo before focusing on the ten wine bottles that lay along the ground, "Perhaps I should have established a limit."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"-zzzzzzzzzzzzz."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
Eva stepped back, wiping some sweat off her cheek as she admired her work, "Okay. I think we're done. How do you feel?"
"Wrong. This feels so wrong."
Chachamaru tilted her head, "Perhaps you're still getting used to the fact that your standing on two legs and your center of gravity has changed?"
"It feels like more than that."
"Maybe because you're so ugly now?" Chachazero piped up from the side, "I mean I think you're supposed to be ugly now. I'm not sure what's appealing with those humans."
Eva shook her head, "Regardless, this is the form you're going to use for now. All that's left…" She smirked deviously, "Is a test run."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Captain's log, stardate…uh, today. We go off on another perilous journey across the foundation of Mahora. Getting lost along the way and stranded seems like a foregone conclusion. Luckily we have systems and measures in place for such events. We've already designated which parts of Fumika to eat first in case of emergency."
"Onee-chan," The younger twin whined and knocked her fists against her older sister's giggling back, "Why do we have to resort to cannibalism?! And why do I have to be eaten first?!"
"Fumika, I want to protect you from the terrible burden of that moment when it inevitably comes to pass."
"Inevitably?!"
"Can you imagine how mentally scarring it will be to have to resort to eating pieces of my sister?" Crocodile tears appeared in Fuuka's eyes, "I want to save you from that burden!"
"I think it will be a lot worse for me as I'm getting eaten!" The bun-wearing twin cried out.
"Oh don't be a baby." Her twin-tailed sister grinned and marched off, "C'mon, Private Narutaki! We have more exploring to do!"
"Why are we in the military now?"
"Insubordination like that will get you a demotion!"
"You can't get lower than Private!"
"Wanna bet?"
The Narutaki twins started making their way through the Mahora campus as a part of their Walking Club activities. Kaede was unfortunately not able to join them today so it was just the twins making their way around the school and seeing the sights. Which included all the festival preparations. All the wonderful booths and costumes being put on display.
And funnily enough-
"Sensei!" Fuuka called out to their blond and whiskered teacher assistant as he walked by their path with his hands in his pockets, "What are you doing out here?"
The blond looked down at the little twins and didn't seem to change his stoic expression. Fumika looked up at him with a curious look, "Sensei, are you okay? You look grumpy for some reason."
His face tightened before he sighed, "Sorry, small annoying people, but I have other things to do right now."
He stepped around them and Fuuka gasped indignantly, "Small? Annoying?! It's not our fault we're small and annoying!"
Fumika sweated, "Onee-chan, one of those things can't be helped while the other is pretty much a character flaw." The younger sister looked up at the passing blond's back, "What other things do you have to do?"
"I want to look around this school and find something interesting to do." He answered as he looked around, making sure to avoid all the festival preparations that blocked him along the way. A few times he stumbled on his feet, still getting used to walking on two legs regularly, "There has to be at least one hobby to pick up."
"Excuse me!" He stopped and looked down as Fuuka and Fumika came running up and stood in his way, "You're going to go trailing around the whole of Mahora for something to do? And you aren't asking us?!" The older twin pouted cutely, "For shame, Sensei! For shame!"
"Naruto-sensei, we're in the Walking Club! We specialize in traversing Mahora and seeing what it has to offer!"
"Walking…Club?" He repeated skeptically before shaking his head, "That's not real. You're making that up."
"It is a real thing!" Fuuka argued, "Our club is an international sport where we see at least several hundred casualties every year-"
"You are making that up. I can tell you're lying."
"How'd you know?"
"It's your eyes. All shifty and deceiving. I could tell a mile away."
The older twin sighed and snapped her fingers, "Dang it."
"That's weird. That worked with Negi-sensei. And he's a genius while Naruto-sensei," Fumika hesitated and looked up at the whiskered blond, "No offense but-"
"No, I get it. I'm stupid. I'm one of the dumbest people alive. As long as we all remember that then it's fine."
Fuuka giggled, "This guy is humble."
A large sweat drop came down Fumika's temple, "Is that humble? It sounds more self-deprecating than anything."
"Whatever. Do you want to show me around? Let's go ahead."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"This is the Soccer Club!" Fuuka announced as they arrived at the field with students playing soccer, "This is where all the people of Mahora come and practice mankind's oldest pastime!"
"Prostitution?"
"N-No! Kicking a ball!"
"I'm pretty sure sexual intercourse is mankind's oldest pastime so you're wrong."
"Oh, Sensei!" They looked over as Ako noticed them and waved, "What are you doing here?"
"Sensei was interested in picking up a hobby so we're showing him around the school to help him."
"Oh?" Ako looked up at the blond man with a smile, "Well we'll be more than happy to let you join us if you're interested."
"Heads up!" The soccer ball came bouncing towards them and the blond man caught it in his hands, "Hey! Send it back!"
He looked down at the ball and then at the playing team and goal. He shrugged and reeled the ball back in his hand before spiking it ahead-
It flew between the rest of the players at blistering speeds and slammed directly into the net of the goal, ripping some of the fabric off before dropping down to the ground.
Everyone stared at the ball in surprise before looking at the man who threw it.
He rubbed his arms, "Probably a little too much power. Might need to fix that if I do this again."
"T-That was more basketball than soccer I think."
"You think? I got rugby vibes. Or American football."
"Well in that case!"
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]
"This is the Basketball Club!" Fuuka announced on the court of the gymnasium as the sound of sneakers sliding along the ground and balls bouncing rapidly on the wood echoed around them, "Maybe this will be more up to your style."
"The basketball club is super competitive." Fumika added with a smile, "If you can get into this you'll get a rewarding victory at the end."
"Oh, Fuuka-chan and Fumi-chan, what are you doing here? Hey, and Naruto-kun too." Yuuna spoke up as she bounced her ball and made her way over, "This is a surprise."
"Hey, would you let Naruto-sensei play a game?"
"He's bored and wants to play around the campus."
Yuuna shrugged, "Sure, sounds like fun." She tossed him the ball, and smirked, "Go on Teach, show us what you got."
He looked between the ball in his hands and the hoop across the court. He shrugged and stepped forward before dropping the ball and kicking it-
The basketball went flying through the air and slammed into the backboard before flying across the court again and bouncing off the other hoop as well.
Everyone stared at the ball in surprise before looking at the man who kicked it.
"Okay, that was more soccer than basketball that time."
"What? But I did like I was supposed to last time."
"Y-Yeah, but you were supposed to kick the soccer ball. This time you were supposed to throw the basketball."
"What?! They're both round balls! Why is it not the same rules?!"
"I-It's not, and we don't have time to explain why it's not."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"The Cheerleading Club!"
"Well, this is a surprise." Misa noted as the twins and their blond companion walked over as she, Sakurako, and Madoka took a break in their cheerleader uniforms, "What are you doing out here, Naruto-kun?"
"The little ones are showing me around the school. Though I don't know why we're stopping off here."
Fuuka snickered, "Oh you don't~? Well, the answer is simple!" With a big flourish, she pointed to the pretty trio in their uniforms, "A boy needs to recharge after walking around so much, and there's no battery better for a teenage boy than a bunch of pretty girls!"
Madoka blushed and stammered, "W-What? H-Hey, I'm not comfortable with that!"
Sakurako giggled, "Aww, Fuuka-chan, you're so sweet."
"Is that what's going on?" The purple-haired leader of the bunch showed a sultry, entertained smile and looked at the blond boy, "What do you think, Naruto-kun? Is this doing anything for you?"
"No. And I'm not interested." He turned and walked away before speaking over his shoulder, "I'm sitting over there when you two decide to get back to it."
…
"Oh, I guess Naruto-kun is gay. Only way to explain that. Good for him I guess."
Fuuka, Fumika, Madoka, and Sakurako looked at Misa's annoyed expression and the way she dug her foot into the ground and decided to stay silent. Seemed like the lead cheerleader's ego had been bruised and none of them felt brave enough to talk to her about it.
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Oh dear," Yue bemoaned as she saw an unusual trio approach her and her friends, "What is this about?"
"Hey girls!" Fumika waved to them, "Can you give Sensei a quick sell on the Library Exploration Club?"
"A-A sell?" Nodoka repeated in confusion, "Why?"
"We're trying to find something for me to do when I'm bored."
"That's odd, I wouldn't think you could get bored." Yue noted with a raised brow, "And is your voice deeper?"
"You're imagining things, Stoic Girl."
"Wha-"
"I'm not much for reading." He looked around and shook his head, "I don't think this is for me."
"Then may I suggest an alternative?" Haruna slid up to his side with a sly smirk as she nudged his side, "Come check out the Manga Club with me! We can read up on the latest arcs and bash each other's taste in stories and-"
"Not interested in picture books either."
…
Haruna silently walked over to a table by the side and picked up a book. She tested it in her hands before shaking her head and grabbing a much larger book instead. Happy with the weight of it she made an appreciative hum-
And turned back with murder in her eyes-
"Haruna no!"
"You can't assault people for having different opinions!"
"He betrayed us!" The bespectacled girl cried out and waved her heavy book around violently, "You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the ignorant mindset, not join them! Bring balance to the nerd force, not leave it in the dark! You were my brother! I loved you!"
"I don't have time for your crazy."
"AHHH! HE WON'T EVEN ENTERTAIN THE REFERENCE!" Haruna wilted and sniffled like a disappointed child, "Noooooo~, I thought I had found a nerdy kindred spirit! But suddenly he's regressed and turned into a normalfag!"
Fumika gasped, "Paru, what a horrible thing to call him! First Kakizaki and now you-"
"I-It's a different word with a different meaning." Yue informed the younger twin and pulled on her taller friend's arm, "Haruna, stop trying to assault the teacher."
"All my plans! My machinations! Ruined!" The library girl melodramatically cried out, "Making sly references in class! Expanding the library of manga! Even getting your permission to use your likeness in the special books! All ruined!"
"You can use my face if you want."
The library girls looked over at the blond man in shock. He noticed their looks and repeated, "You wanted to use this face for your drawings? Go right ahead."
Yue's eyes trembled, "Oh no."
Nodoka panicked, "H-Haruna, you have to use power like this responsibly-"
She whipped her arms aside and sent Yue and Nodoka flying away instantly. Haruna's eyes never left the whiskered man's gaze as she marched up to him, "You mean that?"
"Yes."
"I can use your likeness for anything I draw?"
"That's right."
"I'm not gonna lie, I will draw some sick crap."
"I had a feeling."
"N-No like you have no idea-"
He patted her shoulder, "I'm counting on it." He turned and walked away, "Come small people. We have more to see, right?"
Haruna watched him walk away with Fuuka and Fumika quickly following after. Once they were gone and the weight of the moment finally started to bear upon her, tears filled her eyes as she sobbed happily, "I couldn't be happier than I am right now."
"H-Haruna…"
"I-I think you broke something."
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"Hey, Nii-San, are you sure Kyūbi-San is alright? We haven't seen him since we left Master's cabin."
"Yeah, he's fine."
"But Naruto-kun-"
"He's fine."
"Sensei-"
"He's fine."
"Geez Whiskers, do you care at all? I thought under those gruff exchanges and biting remarks you cared about each other."
"Okay guys, look," He stepped ahead and turned to face his group of friends and ease their worries, "I know he's small and he can give the impression that he's weak, but that fox is a freaking monster. Do you know what the legends of him back in my village used to say? That he was a towering behemoth who could crush mountains and cause tsunamis with the swing of his tails."
Asuna tilted her head, "The little fox? Who just lays on his back and lets Konoka rub his belly until he falls asleep?"
"Yep, and even after he lost most of his power when we separated, he was still a hellion. I mean once, when I was a kid, I was training in the middle of this big forest and getting attacked by all these magical beasts. These things lurched and were big and tore through everything. It took all I had just to dodge them and avoid their teeth! And Kyūbi…sat by the side and laughed at me!"
"Aww, that's mean. But I don't think-"
"And because he was distracted one of the beasts ate him whole instead. And I thought I was going to have to charge in and rescue him but…" Naruto paused before shuddering, "He ate his way out instead."
The others gulped, "Y-You mean-"
"Yep. He chewed through the stomach lining, internal organs, and muscles to claw his way out. He burst out in a show of gore that still makes me shudder. You ever see Alien?" They shook their heads in fright, "There's something called a chestburster, and it's exactly as it sounds. No one even had to tell him to do it! It was his basic instinct! It was so bad all the other beasts - that had been hunting us like mad - whimpered and ran away before they were next!"
"O-Oh wow."
"Yeah, so believe me…there is nothing to be worried about with him." Naruto assured them, "So let's just focus on-"
"Naruto-kun!" The group looked over as Yuuna walked by and smirked, "It was fun having you by the club! But we're gonna have to work on your shooting! And holding the ball with your hands!"
"Wha-"
"Sensei," They turned around and saw Ako carry some equipment by with the others from her club, "Everyone was impressed with your showing at the field."
"But you gotta learn to use your feet, boss!"
"Then again you would excel as a goalie!"
"I don't-"
"Hey!" Naruto flinched and looked back to see the cheerleaders. Misa scowled at him before shaking her head, "Know no shame and stand tall with your pride…and don't worry about missing out on all this."
"Misa, dear god."
"You have to get over it."
"What are you-"
"Sensei!" Haruna called out, rushing over and grabbing his hands before squeezing them so tightly that something cracked, "I can never thank you enough for what you've given me!"
"G-Given what-"
"I promise I will not abuse this power!"
"What are you-"
"Okay that's a lie, but I will do it tastefully!"
"I don't-"
"That's a lie too! But you will be famous!"
"Wha-"
Nodoka whimpered, "It's too late now."
"Sorry Sensei," Yue apologized, "But you only have yourself to blame!"
"STOP!" Naruto roared at the top of his lungs, startling and silencing everyone in the vicinity before he caught his breath and groaned, "Someone…please tell me what's going on?"
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
"So, we've been walking for a while now."
"What do you think, Sensei? Any ideas of what you want?"
"I'm not sure." He shook his head, "I wasn't much interested in the Swimming Club, Dodgeball Club, Drama Club, or much of anything."
"Aww, that's a shame."
"What a jib!"
"Actually if anything what I found most entertaining is-"
"Ah!"
Fumika gasped and pointed to the side. They both looked over-
To see a group of people coming to meet them…following an identical blond young man with whiskers that was staring at them in shock.
Kyūbi chuckled, "Oh, you found me."
Naruto looked horrified as he looked his counterpart over, "H-How? H-How is this-"
"I decided to change things up."
"Oh my god!"
"There's two of them!"
"I-I think I've had dreams of something like this happening."
"I've had nightmares about this."
"B-But how is this possible?"
Naruto's throat went dry as he looked at all the attention they were getting. His brain was wracking itself trying to come up with an excuse. He looked to Negi and the others, hoping since they were more clever than him that they might have a scheme-
But they looked like deers just moments before the headlights bashed through their skulls.
"U-Um-"
"No way!" Fuuka called out in shock, "Girls! It's Menma!"
"Huh?" They blinked in confusion, "What do you mean, Onee-chan?"
"Remember the day before our new semester started and we thought part of our class ran into Naruto-sensei? And he spewed some weird lines about evil and world domination? And then we met him the next day and he said it was his evil twin that said all that? And none of us believed him? He was right!"
"Oh, no way!"
"That's right!"
"Oh, that makes so much sense!"
"You know I thought he sounded a little deeper."
"Of course, he's the evil twin! Why else wouldn't he be interested in my sexy bod in uniform?!"
"Misa, please, have some dignity."
Naruto looked around at the chorus of surprise and agreement rising in the girls' voices. His brain, which had been trying to comprehend what was happening and make some kind of excuse for it, focused on the golden opportunity that had been dropped in his lap to explain everything.
"That's right!" He feigned joy as he leaped over and circled an arm over his copy's shoulder. He dragged Kyūbi in and grinned, "Man I can't believe you came back here, Menma! I told you not to come to visit me again after the school year started, remember?"
"Let go of me you idio-"
"Exactly!" Naruto tightened his arm around Kyūbi s neck and snarled, "C'mon bro, let's go catch up!"
"Stop pulling-"
"Oh, I love family reunions!"
Most of the people watching started talking about the amazing family resemblance they witnessed.
The ones in the know let out a sigh of relief.
[[[[[[[[Knight]]]]]]]]
Konoka pouted as she walked along with Kyūbi in her arms, "That was a mean thing to do, Kyūbi-chan. Can you at least say sorry?"
"For what?" The demon fox questioned in her grasp, "I didn't do anything bad. Or at least nothing obvious that we'll notice right away."
"But when you do mean things you have to say sorry. You caused Naruto-kun a lot of trouble."
"Oh please, the Brat causes himself enough trouble all the time without my help. And I usually have to help him deal with it. So consider this payback."
"Why did Eva-chan help you do this anyway?"
"She said something about wanting to get back at him for the petting fiasco?" Konoka looked down at him in confusion before the fox shook his head, "She didn't specify and I didn't want to ask."
"Okay~," Konoka looked around the area they were in now, "But why did you want me to bring you here?"
"Because after all the walking and testing out clubs, I realized there was one part of the whole experience I liked the most."
"What's that?" Konoka asked before she spotted the little twins of her class walking by, "Fuuka-chan, Fumi-chan, hello!"
"Hey, Konoka!"
"Good morning!" The twins came over and gently started to pet Kyūbi's head and tickle his nose, "Hiya Kyūbi-chan~. What are you doing out here?"
The fox shifted in Konoka's before she let him go, allowing him to land on the ground before he walked between the twins. He silently looked up at them as if he was waiting for something to happen.
"Oh!" Konoka gasped before she giggled, "I think Kyūbi-chan wants to join you girls while you walk around."
"Really?"
"Oh cool! Our club's got a cute new mascot! Can't wait to show Kaede-nee!"
"C'mon, we gotta meet her!"
And so the two innocent twins started to walk along with the demonic tailed beast close behind them. For most people in the know of that information, the sight of him joining the duo in their club activities might seem strange or unnerving.
"Awww~," Konoka cooed, "How cute~."
But Konoka's mind didn't work like that.
