Chapter 5: Intentions

15

Naruto, Chloe, and Alex had now made it clear they were in a relationship. And they all loved it. However due to Alex's powers and her sensitivity to emotions, she wasn't able to enjoy the benefits publicly.. yet.

Right now Chloe and Naruto were headed to Blackwell Academy, Naruto left a clone of his for Alex to.. enjoy.

When the two arrived they met up with Steph and Mikey who were glued to their game board.

"Hey Steph, hey Mikey!" Naruto greeted as both he and Chloe sat down at their table.

"Hey!" Steph replied.

"What up?" Mikey also replied.

"How's Elamon?' Naruto asked and Mikey grinned.

"He's doing real good. He cleared two dungeons and looted both of them without losing any health!" Mike exclaimed and Naruto raised an eyebrow at Steph.

"Wow Steph, you're really going to let him kick your ass like that?" The lesbian scoffed while rolling her eyes.

"He's been so lucky with his rolls today! If I wasn't the DM then I would've been in even more disbelief about it!"

"You sound like a baby." Naruto mocked and Steph stood up pointing at him.

"Oh yeah? Come over here and say that punk!" Steph dared and Naruto grinned.

"Baby, goo goo ga ga!" Naruto and Steph stepped away from the table and began 'fighting'. It wasn't really a fight as Naruto gained control, completely and utterly. Naruto first pivoted to Steph's left to feint going to her right. Much to Steph's shock and horror Naruto picked her up by her waist and slung her over like a sack of potatoes. Naruto made sure to use one hand to grab onto her butt to steady her.

"Let go of me and my ass Naruto!" Steph pounded on his back and kicked the air, but it was to be fruitless. Naruto's grip on her was like iron.

"Nope, you dug your own grave Gingrich!" Naruto laughed as the smaller and more petite girl kept trying to escape.

"Oh bite me you damn mountain-man!" Naruto grinned as he held on even tighter to her rear.

"Don't tempt me with a good time!" Naruto cackled as Chloe and Mikey watched with amused faces.

"You have to deal with him being like that at home?" Mikey asked and Chloe nodded.

"Every. Damn. Day." Chloe had to admit, she definitely enjoyed someone else being the subject to Naruto's coyness. Naruto always won their 'fights' at home with ease. She never knew what it was like to see him dominate someone else. Chloe would be lying if she said it didn't turn her on. The girl kept watch of Naruto and Steph while Mikey turned to the gameboard in amusement.

After a few moments Naruto had decided to plant Steph on the ground and the shorter, beanie wearing girl huffed in embarrassment.

"One day the shoe is gonna be on the other foot! Mark my words you blonde brute!" Steph slapped his chest once and Naruto smiled at her coyly.

"I'd really love to see that." Naruto teased and Steph snorted before sitting back down at the table. Naruto sat next to Chloe and draped an arm around the girl. She smiled while leaning into him, enjoying his warmth. Naruto, while being so occupied with his girlfriend almost didn't catch Steph's jealous stare. He acted like he didn't see her expression while egging Mikey on.

After almost half an hour Chloe had decided to groan as she showed them her phone.

"Shit. Time to head in." Chloe's announcement had everyone frowning. They all shook their head as Steph packed up her game supplies. Naruto helped her stuff some of the dice in her case and Steph smiled gratefully.

"Thanks." Naruto matched her expression, putting the last of her stuff in her case.

"Don't mention it." Naruto turned toward the entrance of Blackwell before he remembered something he needed to do.

"Oh and one more thing." Naruto said and Steph stared at him quizzically.

"What-" Before Steph could utter another word Naruto used his index and thumb to squish both of her cheeks. He pulled toward her lips, making her look like a fish.

"God, you're so cute." Steph blushed vehemently before slapping Naruto's hand away and gripping a fistful of his orange flannel shirt.

"You're insufferable." She whispered heatedly and Naruto bit his lip, feeling a chill spiral down his spine. He chuckled before putting a hand on her lower back, pulling her closer to him. She yelped at the sudden lack of space, staring up into Naruto's ocean eyes.

"Hm, what else am I?" Both Naruto's and Steph's grips became tighter as they stood there wordlessly. After some moments Steph had finally found something to say.

"Too close.." Steph gulped and Naruto laughed at her. He pulled away and Steph's blush grew a shade darker than before. Naruto then sidled up to Chloe who watched the exchange with interest. Naruto wrapped an arm around the edgy girl's waist and Steph shook her head before catching up. The group then walked up to the entrance of Blackwell, most of them with an air of trepidation.

"Another day in this shithole." Chloe murmured and Naruto chuckled.

"We'll be alright, not much can ruin a day like this-" Before Naruto could continue his optimism one of the double doors opened. Naruto immediately frowned at who abruptly greeted them.

"Hey m'ladies! M'men! I'm just gonna borrow him for a quick sec 'kay?" Rachel in her Tempest costume grasped Naruto's wrist as he let go of his girlfriend. Although Naruto stood still as the much shorter teen tried to drag him.

"Jeez! You're a brick wall huh?" Rachel teased and Naruto rolled his eyes before turning to the group who followed the two in.

"Don't drag me. And let me at least say bye to my friends." Naruto turned to the group who looked at him with interest. Chloe arched an eyebrow with curiosity, wondering if Rachel was going to be another addition to Naruto's ever growing girlfriends. Mikey widened his eyes at being within ten feet of the Rachel Amber, before shaking his head and folding his arms, trying to act cool. Steph herself looked in between a fish out of water and a bull with raging horns. Because Rachel and Naruto were right there, her secret crush(es), and Naruto was the center of Rachel's attention. And she didn't even know if she was mad that Naruto was taking up Rachel's time or if she was mad Rachel was taking up Naruto's time. Either way Steph was surprised and not happy one bit.

Naruto walked up to Chloe after getting Rachel to release him. The popular girl pouted in jealousy as she saw Naruto give Chloe a long steamy kiss. He let go and gave her another peck to her forehead.

"You three go on without me. I have to see what this little stack of pancakes wants." Naruto grumbled and they all nodded in relenting acceptance.

"Okay babe, don't take too long now." Chloe said and Naruto nodded, Chloe pinched his whiskered cheek like she always did and he smiled at her. Mikey merely waved, although Steph did take the time to hug the blonde herself. She blushed despite them always being that close.

"Watch it Gingrich, otherwise Rachel will think you like me instead." Naruto whispered in her ear and Steph yelped as she backpedaled away from the tall, imposing, and quite handsome teen. Naruto chuckled before he turned to Rachel.

"Alright, let's go!" Rachel smiled alluringly as she took Naruto's wrist again.

"What did I say about dragging me?" Naruto grumbled as Rachel kept leading the blonde on. Meanwhile Chloe and Steph watched the two walk away, both with conflicting expressions. Mikey sidled up to them, concern in his face.

"You both okay?" Chloe nodded immediately, even though she was worried.

"Yeah, it's just Naruto might be right. There is something up with her." Chloe answered and Mikey nodded before looking to Steph, whose face held an expression of forlorn. She merely shook her head before she started walking to class, Chloe and Mikey hot on her heels.

Chloe noticed the face Steph had been making and smiled.

'Seems she has feelings for him too..' Chloe thought as Steph walked heatedly into their upcoming class.

Naruto meanwhile was being dragged to the Drama Club, much to his annoyance. When they neared Naruto heard as well as saw Hayden, Dana, and Mr. Keaton. The former two were performing a scene from The Tempest, and Naruto frowned at his short blonde companion.

He heard Hayden continue and Rachel gave him a sly smile as she watched her two costars reenact the scene.

"I do beseech you, chiefly that I might set it in my prayers: what is your name?" Hayden spoke and Naruto arched an eyebrow at the acting. He then gave a genuine smile as he and Dana locked eyes, he could tell that she wanted to fly into his arms for a hug like she always did. But she kept her professionalism for the scene. Rachel noticed the looks and frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Miranda.. Oh, my father! I have broke your hest to say so!" Dana finished and Hayden spoke again.

"Admired Miranda! Indeed worth what's dearest in the world! Many a lady I have eyed with best regard, and many a time hath listened- many a time the harmony of their tongues-hath I listened-" Naruto arched an eyebrow as Hayden messed up his lines. They've been practicing for quite a while from what Dana has told him in the past. So seeing this from her costar, didn't bode well to him. And based off of Mr. Keaton's expression, he agreed.

"Hayden! You're killing me! You've had weeks to be off book!" Hayden rubbed his head sheepishly, clearly guilty of that fact.

"Sorry, Mr. Keaton." The man shook his head at Hayden before beckoning toward Dana.

"No, don't apologize to me. Apologize to your scene partner, who's been very accommodating, and to your other fellow actors, and most of all, to yourself-" Rachel, who sensed the rising tension, stepped up toward the drama teacher.

"Mr. Keaton, sorry to interrupt, but does this look better? I had my mom take it in a bit." Rachel then twirled around, giving Naruto a very blatant wink. Naruto hated to admit it, but the costume did fit her very well. The curves on her body had him almost clearing his throat, almost. However to anyone in the room, he merely gave a passive glance and nothing more.

"Mrrowww! Looking good, Rache." And Naruto this time had to suppress a chuckle at his friend. Dana was a little bit over the top with her compliment. Dana and Naruto locked eyes and she merely smiled through the heat in her ears. Dana would be able to tell Naruto was going to rib her later for that. Meanwhile Hayden and Mr. Keaton agreed on Rachel's appearance. She did look great.

"Mr. Keaton, I'm still having trouble with, 'My affections are then most humble; I have no ambition to see a goodlier man.' I mean, does she really mean that?" Dana asked skeptically and Hayden grinned boisterously.

"Especially because I just straight out told her I've been banging all the ladies." Hayden agreed and Naruto rolled his eyes at his classmate. Meanwhile Rachel stepped into the conversation once more.

"Yeah, that is hard. We've talked about that line forever. We need a fresh perspective." Rachel then meandered to Naruto who frowned at her blatantly. She placed her hand on his lower back and Naruto squinted at her, as she lightly tugged him to the front.

"The question is: are Miranda's feelings of instant passion for Ferdinand just inexperience and dramatic circumstances or... has she actually just met the love of her life? What do you think?" Rachel asked Naruto and the blonde almost sighed. He would have told Rachel this was a waste of his time, but he looked to Dana who was also eager for his input. Then he looked to Mr. Keaton and Hayden, both awaiting an answer too.

Naruto cleared his throat before speaking.

"Love is a very subjective feeling, it can come in many forms, and can be displayed in different ways. What love is to me, could be the opposite for Miranda, Dana, Rachel, and anyone really. However, from what I've heard.. Miranda could actually believe the love she feels is real, despite the circumstances, hell maybe even because of the circumstances. Besides.. if you're gonna put on a show, then these feelings better be real to the actors/actresses, as well as to the audience." Naruto answered and everyone looked in awe at his eloquence.

"That was amazing Naru! That honestly helped me a lot!" Dana grinned and Naruto smiled right back at her. As long as he made her happy at least. The bell then rang and Dana immediately leapt off the mini stage into Naruto's arms. The blonde laughed as he caught her, she hung from his tall frame and Naruto smiled down at her, while keeping his hands under her thighs.

"Who knew you were such a romantic, as well as a philosopher.." Dana purred and Rachel widened her eyes at the blatant display. Hayden cleared his throat uncomfortably as well as feeling awe at the boldness of his costar. He picked up his stuff and left the room, while Mr. Keaton complained about his upcoming class.

Naruto and Dana were so close to each other that they were bumping noses.

"You've known me since we were kids Dana. I doubt I could hide this side of me forever." His teasing had her giggling before she smooched his cute whisker marked cheek. On the side Rachel had been fuming at their intimacy, even if the rest of the world didn't know it.

"I can't wait to see other sides to you Naru. But I gotta go." Dana unwrapped her legs and Naruto let her go. She safely dismounted off of the blonde and they both smiled at the familiarity.

"You'll have a lot to discover still Ms. Ward." Naruto replied simply and she pouted mockingly.

"Aww, okay.. but for now bye bye sweet cheeks. I'll text you later 'kay?" Dana patted his whisker cheek affectionately and Naruto smiled as she walked away. Rachel almost sighed in relief as she finally had Naruto pretty much to herself.

"Okay! I'll just be a minute. Can you grab my belt for me? I think it's in my bag over there." Rachel pointed out as she went into the dressing room. Naruto frowned once more before doing so, although he grumbled the whole way.

'Why the hell am I here again?'

'Because, you can't help but being dragged into trouble. From what we know, this Rachel Amber is going to give you a heap of it.' Kurama answered and Naruto sighed as he knelt down towards Rachel's bag and dug into it. He saw a picture of her and her father when she was younger. Naruto put the picture back before taking out her rolled up belt.

Naruto went into the dressing room and looked to the right, he overheard Rachel shuffling into clothes and he kept his frown. He looked to the mirror and saw a note taped onto it.

Dana you are very beautiful.
Do you want to go out?
I would be into that..

L̶o̶g̶a̶n̶ ̶

̶G̶u̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶W̶h̶o̶ ̶

̶L̶o̶g̶a̶n̶

Guess Who

'Jeez, this guy is going through it..' Naruto chuckled at the fact he had more ammo to tease Dana with. He remembered Dana talking about Logan and how he tried to flirt with her. However she knew that he only wanted one thing and Naruto loved the gossip she shared with him. Before he could continue his train of thought, Rachel heard him chuckling. She smiled flirtatiously as she peeked over with her blue bra, toned stomach and budding C cup breasts in his visage.

"You got my belt! Sick, bring it over." She beckoned and Naruto sighed, hearing Kurama's guffawing laughter in his head. His bijuu friend just couldn't help finding amusement in the stupid situations Naruto found himself in. He really was the best container Kurama could ask for.

Naruto begrudgingly brought the belt over to the changing actress. He decided to say 'fuck it' and step over the boundary between wall and him. He saw Rachel pulling up her pants and found to his amusement her lace panties matched her bra. He shook his head and held out his hand.

"Here." Rachel jumped in shock and caught her breath. She knew he was coming and he was still quiet enough to scare her.

"Thank you kind sir." Naruto rolled his eyes as he stood there with his arms folded. Much to Rachel's curiosity he watched her get dressed, pulling on her black undershirt and her torn blue flannel shirt. She smiled flirtatiously, with a hand on her hip.

"Did you enjoy that?" She asked him and Naruto smirked back.

"A little bit, now.. mind telling me why you dragged me here?" Naruto asked impatiently and Rachel grinned.

"Last night was amazing!" She folded her arms and Naruto arched an eyebrow.

"Amazing? I knocked out three people, breaking one of their arms and giving each of them a concussion. Then their buddies shot us on the way out, and after that the cops came and we had to hightail it out of there. And you think all of that was amazing?" Naruto asked with unbidden incredulity, and even after everything he listed he only saw Rachel's expression become even grander.

"Yes! That was all amazing! You kicked ass, and you were able to catch bullets like a superhero!" Rachel said and Naruto frowned at her.

"You were in danger. If I wasn't there then something bad would've happened to you!" Naruto told her and Rachel waved him off.

"I would be fineee. I had some friends in there, and they would have looked out for me." Rachel said nonchalantly and Naruto's eye twitched at her carelessness.

'I'd like to see anyone else in this world catch bullets from multiple armed thugs.' He thought and Rachel kept her grin.

"We definitely have to do something like that again. And to tell you the truth, I went to bed last night wishing it never had to end. But then I thought; why? Why does it have to end?" Rachel asked and Naruto arched an eyebrow at her. She brushed her hair back and stared into his eyes, waiting for his reply.

"What are you getting at?" Rachel noticed the suspicion in his tone and laughed.

"How would you like to join me on a little field trip?" If Naruto's frown could deepen even more, it would have.

"...What."

"Is it a weird thing to ask?" Rachel bit her lip in nervousness and Naruto stared at her with nary hidden annoyance.

"Yes Rachel, it is. I'm not going to get in trouble just because you're still high off of the adrenaline over ten hours after what we did yesterday!" Naruto said and Rachel's eyes glimmered with mischief.

"Oh come on.. it would be fun. And besides, don't you want to keep me safe? Who knows what dangerous activity I could get up to by my lonesome..." She trailed off and Naruto hated what she was saying. It was a bait, and he was a fish, and it was hooking, lining, and fucking sinking.

'You have to go, just cover your tracks, as well as hers.' Kurama said and Naruto sighed.

"Okay, but you have to give me your schedule." Naruto said and Rachel grinned before tugging him along.

"Easy peasy. Let's get the hell out of here." Rachel's beaming smile stayed on her face as they snuck out of Blackwell Academy. When no one was watching Naruto used two shadow clones to transform into him and Rachel. The two clones then went into both respective classes before they were late. The replicas took their assigned seats and went to Blackwell Academy for the originals. Meanwhile Naruto and Rachel had been long gone, and everyone else was none the wiser.

Rachel had lead Naruto to the nearby train tracks in Arcadia Bay. Naruto rolled his eyes at her behavior, wondering why he was still going along with this.

'Nothing like a knight in shining armor.' Kurama said simply and Naruto pursed his lips.

'We didn't even know what a knight was until seven years ago!' Naruto huffed and Rachel turned back to his irritated expression. She absolutely adored anything he did, even if any of it was negative.

"Having fun?" She asked and Naruto stared blankly at her.

"Yes, the time of my life. Now tell me, why are we at the train tracks?"

"Because if we're gonna go rogue, we're doing it right." Rachel then shoulder checked him, although if anyone was watching she more or less shoulder checked his side. He was a giant compared to her. Rachel then ran toward the train and Naruto sighed before following her. Rachel saw an open box car and leapt into the opening sloppily. Naruto easily caught up and leapt almost lazily onto the platform. He helped the the dark blonde up onto her feet and she smiled up at him.

"So athletic huh?" She elbowed him in the side and Naruto rolled his eyes before deciding to sit at the edge of the box car. He dangled his legs out of the train, letting the breeze wander to him. Rachel arched an eyebrow before sitting right next to him. She was merely a few inches away and Naruto still felt she was too close.

'I wonder if this is how Sasuke felt when Sakura was all over him at the Academy..' Naruto thought as he watched the buildings, trees, hills. and everything else blur by him. He sat in silence while Rachel fiddled with her fingers, she looked at him wondering what she should say.

"So... it's kind of weird that we're hanging out." Naruto kept looking out at the scenery, wondering for the millionth time why he is there with her.

"That's an understatement. What do you even want from me?" Rachel's smile immediately turned upside down as fondness had been replaced with annoyance.

"Do I have to want something in order to spend time with you? Is that who you think I am?" Her voice had started rising, so Naruto thought to do the same.

"Yes! That's your whole gimmick! You're fake, and you're playing an angle every chance you get!"

"So what happened to us last night then?! We got into a fight, you protected me from multiple guns, and I'm not supposed to want you around?!"

"You're literally making this worse for you! I did what I had to! You, you just get in trouble and now you see I can bail you out of it! So now you want me around to be your get out of jail free card!"

"I have done nothing to deserve that assumption! You're just- just a paranoid freak!"

"Yeah?! Well I hate fake people! And you're nothing but a mask! You don't even know who you are! All you do is prance about being little Ms. Perfect! Well I know better! You're selfish, ignorant, and manipulative!"

"Well you're an asshole!"

"YEAH!?"

"YEAH!"

LEMON START

Before they both knew it they had leapt at each other's face. Their mouths connected sloppily and wetly. Their tongues battled for dominance and they both knew they wanted more. Naruto stood up, pulling Rachel roughly to her feet. Both of their oral entrances had still been connected as they roughly made out with each other. Naruto picked Rachel up and slammed her onto the wall of the box car.

Naruto did it with such force that the box car shook a little, much to their growing and very desperate need. Rachel moaned and bit his bottom lip, all while they grinded against each other with reckless abandon. They both wondered what the hell took them so long to get to this point. Rachel hastily took off her flannel and tossed it to the side. Naruto tried to do the same, using his body to push up against her to keep her in place. Rachel helped him get his top off, leaving him in a black tank top. She grasped his toned arms as his hands grabbed her ass.

He kneaded through her cheeks making her squirm with impatience. He roughly grabbed them, gripping them with much more strength. She yelped as she dove for the side of his neck, licking and sucking to release the pleasure he was giving her. By the end of it the side of Naruto's neck reddened to the point a tomato would blush at them. Naruto lifted Rachel up further and placed her roughly on a box with a blanket on top of it. She whined at the feeling, messily taking her black shirt and blue bra off. All the while she watched Naruto take off his tank top, they both threw their garments to the side and they both marveled at their partner's physique.

Naruto grabbed a hold of Rachel's budding breasts and massaged them, making sure to treat the nipples the right way. Once her pink nipples hardened Naruto dove for her left nipple with his mouth, sucking on it like an engulfing black hole. Rachel screamed out with unhidden pleasure grabbing his blonde locks to try and bring him even closer.

Naruto bit on the nipple, with just the right amount of pressure to have Rachel aching for more.

"Skip the fucking foreplay you blonde dick." She whispered hungrily and Naruto sucked on her nipple with even more force. She groaned in ecstasy at his ministrations. She wanted, no needed more. She hastily kicked off her shoes while Naruto helped her pull her pants down. He tossed her pants to the ever growing pile of clothes in the box car while he took his own pants off in haste. Soon they were both stark naked and ready for more. Naruto stroked his cock as he roughly dove his face into her moistening folds.

Rachel gasped at the feeling, already loving every direction his tongue went to. She buckled as he stuck his tongue inside of her, making sure to taste every centimeter he could get.

"You're fucking amazing! OH-FUCK!" Rachel gasped as she gripped the back of Naruto's head hard enough for him to glare at her. She loved the look, meaning she was going to get more punishment as well as a good fuck. Naruto tugged at her as he positioned himself in front of her pussy. Rachel widened her eyes at the monster that was before her.

"You're so- BIG!" Naruto thrusted into her without warning. Rachel bit her lip as she looked into his eyes, they gazed into each other while Naruto fucked the absolute daylight out of her. She moaned and leaned forward to grip his bare ass cheeks, trying to shove every single inch of him inside of her. She was filled up to the brim and she was going crazy over it.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" Rachel screamed into the air as Naruto pounded her at lightning speed. He loved every inch of her clenching pussy, how her walls just seemed to welcome him like it was his home.

"Fuuuuuckkkkk! Oh fuck me you fucking asshole. OH GOD YES! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" Rachel got exactly what she wanted, Naruto fucked her so hard and so fast that she knew her pussy was going to hurt after.

"I've never felt anything so good, don't you fucking stop!" She looked into his eyes to see such anger and passion in them. It turned her on so much to be treated like a whore to this handsome blonde brute. Naruto continued to thrust in and out of her with hard, long, and fast strokes. It was so quick that she thought a vibrator was coming in and out of her pussy. Naruto used one hand to play with her clitoris while the other grabbed a hold of her throat, choking her into submission.

"You're a fucking god! ah!- I'm being fucked by God himself, fuck fuck FUCK!" Rachel screamed as Naruto glared at her in pleasure because of him. He loved that he was fucking her with anger, using all his pent up aggression to take it out on this pretty little slut. Rachel thought the same, she didn't know Naruto could feel so good inside of her, she came multiple times without warning throughout the whole spectacle. The girl just never wanted him to stop, no matter how sensitive she felt inside and out.

She would only stop when he did, and Rachel would make that a fucking promise. Meanwhile Naruto throughout his thrusting could feel her pussy clenching onto him like a vice, he knew she came at least four times because of him, and he was going to make her feel bliss like she never could have imagined.

"You little fucking slut, how many times am I gonna make you cum huh?" Naruto brought her close, thrusting in and out of her as he took her mouth to his. They danced with their tongues, spitting, licking, and making sure they knew how much they needed this. Naruto then lifted her up while in their makeout session, his flesh pole never leaving her entrance as he fucked her while she hung onto him. Rachel's eyes rolled damn near to the back of her had as Naruto pushed even deeper into her tiny hole. Naruto meanwhile grabbed onto her luscious ass cheeks, smacking it till it became red. The sound was so loud and hard that a sonic boom couldn't compare. Their lust was simply that fucking powerful.

However as all good things started, they too had to come to an end. Naruto felt himself become close, absolutely fucking the shit out of this pretty little perfect whore.

"Go ahead, fill me up with your cum. Fuck me and make me cum some more!" Rachel screamed and Naruto groaned at the same time. They both came as Naruto thrusted in and out of her, filling her tiny hole with his sperm pool. They were both sweaty and glistening from the activity. Rachel had to wipe her hair out of her face while she rested her cheek into Naruto's bare muscled pectorals.

"Oh my god..." She groaned as Naruto pulled himself out of her. Rachel damn near fell when she stood on her feet. The climax had literally almost taken her out. Her legs were shaky and they both laughed at her predicament.

"This is all your fault." She giggled and Naruto smiled at her.

"Oops." Naruto then handed Rachel her own clothes as they got dressed.

LEMON END

When they both regrouped and dressed up they felt as light as a feather. As if all of their transgressions from earlier had magically disappeared.

'Magically disappeared my ass! Your anger went inside of her, while hers went out of her! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!' Kurama guffawed and Naruto shook his head in amusement. Rachel caught his dazed expression and smiled to herself. She scooted closer to him, as both of them returned to their seated position at the end of the edge of the box car. Naruto noticed her pained expression as she did so.

"You gonna be okay?" Naruto asked and she nodded, putting her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah.. it's a good kind of pain." Rachel reassured and Naruto chuckled at her. She snickered as well, enjoying how laid back they both are at the moment. However before their act of intimacy she remembered what he had said to her.

"Did you mean what you said? To me?" Rachel asked, clear trepidation in her voice. Naruto sighed as he wrapped his left arm around her. She was surprised by this development but leaned closer to him, enjoying his bulk of warmth.

"Yes.. but that's how passionate I feel about the subject. I can't have anyone.. not be who they truly are. It angers me to the boiling point. I believe our lives are supposed to be lived to the fullest, and no one can ever be full if they hold themselves back because of what others may think of them. People like me for me, and that's enough to know who should be around me. I hate the fact you pretend to be someone you're not just to be popular, or for people to see you how they want to see you. I know you can be better than that."

Naruto's words struck a chord within the social acolyte, she's never heard someone so.. enthused and intense about how she she should be herself. Especially coming from Naruto of all people. Although she bit her lip hesitantly, her whole life she's only ever thought of molding herself into a missing piece. She's never just let something else fill the void that she had within herself.

Because that's what the purpose of it all was isn't it? She fills up people's lives, she becomes a necessity to them instead of vice versa. If she never had to be real.. then what was the point of becoming real? Yet here she is, pondering this existence of hers all because of a moment of.. amazing passion with a blonde she barely knew. Yet when she looked into his eyes.. she saw the universe itself in them. She saw stars, planets, sanctuary, danger, she saw things she couldn't even describe.

"This is random, but my dad is the district attorney. Growing up.. I guess you get used to the lies, the masks, the.. the part where you have to be someone else for somebody else. It's all I've ever known, so how can I find the real me within the fake me?" Her question had Naruto in thought. He brought his hand to her back, rubbing comforting circles that warmed her up.

"You don't." The response was so simple yet so cryptic that Rachel had bug eyed for a second. She looked up at her.. blonde something. She didn't even know what they were now. She didn't even know what both of their intentions had been. All she knew was that she needed him, and that scared her. She gulped and asked,

"What do you mean?" She saw Naruto's eyes shift toward her, before looking back out toward the blurs in front of them.

"The real you is someone who finds you. You don't search for the thing that sets you apart from everyone else, it finds you instead. You like a thing, you dislike another, you feel something genuinely instead of fabricating it, you do something because it's all you can think to do, you feel things that you can't shake.. these are simplified to hell, yet they're the clues to answer your riddle."

Rachel sighed as she contemplated his explanation. She really wondered if what he was saying was as easy as it sounded. Yet here she was with a conundrum that she couldn't begin to comprehend. However she looked to him, and she felt something even more surreal than before. She latched onto it, and onto him.

"Well.. there is something I feel that's genuine.. and it could be a start to know who I really am." She murmured and Naruto heard her perfectly. He looked down at her as hazel eyes met azure ones.

"What is it?"

"I.. um.. wow, this is actually hard to say." She giggled nervously, even though it was in her head as well as on the tip of her tongue the words had refused to form for her. She wondered for a split second why it was so important, and why it affected her so gravely. She then thought of the blonde next to her, and it became even more surreal to her.

"Take your time, we don't have anywhere to be." His assurance made her feel giddy. Rachel chose to press herself closer to him finding excitement at just being in his proximity. The warmth from him and his words gave her a newfound courage that she lacked in the previous seconds. It was almost intoxicating what he could do to her.

"I feel.. that.. whew.. that you're the person I want to be around the most. There's something about you that draws me in, that makes me hesitate, that makes me bold, that makes me consider things I've never thought about. This feeling I have when it comes to you floods me like a river, it leaves a mark I wouldn't dare take off. Naruto, when I'm around you I can feel like I'm truly alive.. and it's hella amazing." Rachel finished off and Naruto arched an eyebrow with amusement.

"Hella?"

"It's a Cali thing." She laughed and Naruto chuckled with her.

"Hm, if that's what you really feel.. then I guess I have to be with you in order for you to figure yourself out." Naruto's words lit a fire in her that had been ebbed away before. She sat up straighter and looked to him with so much hope and desire that the feeling caught in his throat.

"Yes! Yes you do! That's an amazing idea! And I know just the way you help with that!" Rachel looked out the box car and saw where they needed to be. She stood up and Naruto did too.

"Come on! This is our stop!" Rachel laughed and Naruto rolled his eyes with mirth. He then suddenly picked her up bridal style and she laughed at his unexpectedness. He looked at her as she clung to his neck, he gripped her back and legs tightly preparing to leap off the train.

"Hold me tight."

"Yes sirrr." She purred and Naruto shook his head at the girl, a smile on his face. He then leapt off and she yelped at the velocity of his jump. They landed safely and she hugged him closer. She knew what she wanted, and he was standing right there with her.

Rachel couldn't wait to explore this with him.
