Let's geddit.

If she keeps staring at her like that, even I'm going to shrivel up.

Although he probably wasn't the only one thinking that, Naruto would never say it out loud. Not while the room's atmosphere was tense enough to cut with a dull knife, the main cause being a murderous looking Anna who stared daggers at Kitty who, seated on the reading chair near his bed, pointed her gaze at everything at her. Were anyone to walk into the room at this moment, they wouldn't believe two of its occupants had been having frantic sex less than three minutes ago and he wouldn't have remembered it either were it not for the drying semen on Kitty's face—something that further worsened Anna's ire with her and probably him if the stiff look she gave him was any indicator. He couldn't even blame her; Kitty's appearance wasn't a good look for him and he would definitely be doing the same as her if a guy had come into her room in the dead of night while they were having sex. In fact, she was acting a lot more composed than he'd have been in her shoes.

While at first he'd thought Kitty would have taken the sight of them naked as well his cum spraying on her face as her cue to leave,he was now grateful that she'd stayed because anything otherwise would have seen him bearing the full brunt of his girlfriend's anger; Anna really did look ready to kill someone and he didn't want to have to be the only one trying to convince her that Kitty had never visited him in his room before, much less at night. Topics like that were tricky, especially when being discussed with an agitated lover who could commit murder just by grabbing a person's bare hand. He might not have anything to fear in that aspect but he was sure Kitty could tell she was in grave danger, hence the cowering. He was sure he'd find the memory of being scared of Anna while she had her tits bared amusing in the future but right now, a death metal vocalist on ketamine could sing to his heartbeat.

When I said I'd try having us three spend time together, I didn't mean it like this.

"So," Kitty began, finally breaking the silence. "How long have you two been doing…it?"

"Ah." Naruto scratched his head awkwardly. "Not too long-"

"It was our first time," Anna hissed, her deathly stare growing more intense. "And you ruined it for us."

Kitty squeaked pitifully. "I-I'm sorry, it's just that I felt-"

"And what were you doing coming to his room this late at night anyway?" Anna inquired and she turned her gaze to the only male in the room. "Is this how she shows up all the time? You tell me goodnight and she comes up right as Ah leave for some nighttime funtime?"

Oh no.

"She doesn't, I swear!" Naruto cried. "I don't even know how she knows where I stay! Kitty, how did you find my room?!"

Anna was having none of it. "Bullshit! Ah knew something was up with how close you two have been. She's always sticking onto you with that stupid, cutesy smile on her face! Ah knew it!"

Naruto grimaced. Had his and Kitty's relationship really bothered her that much? He knew she felt envious of the girl but not to the point where seeing them together would make her think…well, bad thoughts. She'd said she was cool with them hanging out but it now seemed she hadn't really been and his assurances that she was the only one he wanted weren't enough to keep her from being suspicious of them. "Anna, please. Me and Kitty are just friends, we aren't doing anything."

"That's what they all say!"

"But I'm not; you sleep with me almost every night these days," Naruto retorted. "Wouldn't you have noticed Kitty sneaking in at some point?"

"What about the days when Ah don't?" Anna fired back. "What's to say she doesn't just phase through the frigging ceilings like she just did?!"

"She hasn't because she doesn't know where I stay." He narrowed his eyes at Kitty who mutely watched their exchange and added, "Or rather she's not meant to."

"It's true," Kitty nodded. "He's telling the truth, I just found his room in the register tonight."

Naruto blinked. "What?"

"And what, you thought you could come pay him a surprise visit at night?" Anna scoffed, obviously skeptical. "How close are you two now to visit each other unannounced now?"

"Not close enough," Naruto answered firmly. Kitty looked oddly hurt by the statement, but he ignored her; if she hadn't found and gotten into his room without his knowledge or permission, they wouldn't even be in this situation in the first place.

"Doesn't seem that way." Anna pointed at Kitty angrily, still refusing to believe them. "Even if she did find your room on her own, she wouldn't show up if she didn't think you'd be fine with it."

"I…" Naruto paused. "I'm sure she's got a good reason for doing something like this," he said, gesturing towards Kitty who nodded.

"And that would be?"

"I don't know," Naruto grabbed his hair, trying to keep from yelling at the girl. He understood why she wasn't so eager to believe them, but it wasn't any less frustrating to try talking to her when she wasn't ready to believe anything he said. "Shouldn't you be asking her?"

"You're the one trying to make excuses for her."

"I'm not making excuses for her."

"Yes you are," Anna poked him in the chest harshly. "And you wouldn't be doing so if you didn't like the thought of her being arou-"

"I needed him to touch me!"

The arguing couple's heads snapped towards a furiously blushing Kitty, surprised by her outburst.

"I mean…not like touch me," Kitty scrambled to explain herself to the two. "But, uh, just to touch me, like, anywhere. I don't know why but it's like my whole body tingles when he does and when he doesn't, I want him to. I've been thinking of it for hours now and it's only gotten worse. I couldn't sleep, Anna!" she whined. "I just needed him to do…something! Anything! That's why I snuck into the boys' dorm, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to barge in on you two or make you fight, I just wanted to, well, ease myself."

The irritation that had been building up in Naruto quickly dissipated as a result of her words. It didn't help that she looked so pitiful now, it would be difficult to believe she wasn't the one to break into a person's room. However when what she'd said finally registered, it was quickly replaced by dread. Anna seemed to share the same thought if her stony face was any indicator. She wasn't suspicious of them anymore, but that didn't mean they were out of the woods either.

There was just one thing.

"You didn't get to touch him though," the southern goth grunted. "And yet, you don't look like you're as desperate to jump him as you did when you showed up."

"Um." Kitty's face turned even redder than it had been before and the two feared that she'd faint. "I don't feel it anymore…mm," her voice dropped lower and lower until she was muttering to herself under her breath.

Naruto shared a look with Anna before turning back to the petite mutant. "Kitty, we can't hear you. Could you speak louder?"

The girl sucked in a deep breath and exhaled loudly, still refusing to look them in the eye. "I said I stopped feeling it when your…cum got on my face."

Naruto barely felt his jaw slacken. "Oh," he whispered. He'd entertained the thought of the possibility of his skin not being the only conduit for his powers but he hadn't considered his bodily fluids causing the same effect on people.

"Yeah." Kitty shuffled awkwardly on the seat, unsure of what else to say.

"Ah, dagnabbit," Anna cursed, rubbing her forehead. "Kitty, it ain't your fault…if anything, we should be blaming him." She pointed a thumb at Naruto before opening her eyes to glare at him. "Ah told you to tell her this could happen but no, you kept saying it might not happen, she could be immune and other nonsense all 'cause you were afraid. Now look where that's gotten us — she's dealing with something she doesn't even understand!"

"W-wait, you guys know what's wrong with me?" Kitty inquired desperately. "What is it?"

Anna stared at her for a few seconds, contemplating how best to structure her explanation without agitating the girl. "Naruto…Naruto's got some sort of power. Ah mean, he can negate people's powers-"

"She knows that already, she ran into me once, remember?" Naruto cut her off.

"Ah'm getting to that," Anna glared at him. "Ah should leave it to you to say but who knows what excuse you'll use to chicken out of it this time." At Naruto's wince, she huffed and focused on Kitty again.

"The real problem's making contact with him. Like skin contact. It causes some kind of craving—-in the sense that it makes you want to keep holding him or at least, do it again and it only gets worse with time." She glanced at Naruto then back at her friend. "And Ah don't know just how you two touched, but Ah guess it doesn't matter anymore, does it?"

Kitty stared down at the ground, obviously digesting what she'd just heard. Naruto and Anna exchanged another anxious glance, unsure of how the girl would react; she wasn't overly emotional, but Kitty wasn't exactly a stoic either. Both had seen her blow up over trivial matters only to remain calm under more serious circumstances. It could go either way, but neither wanted her throwing a tantrum in his room at night, especially not after curfew when they were all supposed to be in their respective rooms.

Not that they'd have blamed her anyway. Finding out that you were pretty much tied to a person for the indeterminate future just because you'd made the mistake of shaking their hand out of courtesy was heavy news for anyone.

"So…" Kitty began quietly. "What's the cure? How do I get rid of it?"

"We really don't know, Kitty. Even I don't understand why it happens or what it's got to do with my mutation," Naruto replied, scratching the back of his head. "The only solution I know of is to touch me and even that's just like taking painkillers for an injury."

"Ir doesn't solve anything, it just keeps you from feeling it?"

He nodded.

Kitty's eyes left Naruto to land on Anna. "And I'm guessing you're in the same boat?"

Anna shrugged, suddenly sheepish. "Ah'm sorry Ah didn't tell you earlier."

Kitty nodded slightly before her eyes narrowed. "Wait, is this why you're dating him? Because you have to?"

"What? No!" Anna refused hotly.

.

"How can you be so sure it's not…whatever this is, talking?" Kitty insisted. "How do you know you're not just attracted to him because you have to be? I'm not even his girlfriend and I had to basically stalk him just to get him to touch me…no offence, Naruto."

Kitty didn't know it, but she'd asked the same questions that constantly lingered at the forefront of Naruto's mind whenever he thought of Anna but had never been asked aloud. Whenever they did anything, he asked himself how much of her was doing it because she wanted to. The joy from the kisses they shared were always tainted by the inky black blots of doubt stemming from the same question Kitty had been bold enough to ask. He'd never felt anything for a girl before that he did for Anna, but he always wondered how much of what she felt for him was influenced by the compulsive urge to be near him.

And as always, the line of questioning always led to the same end: what would she do if one day, they managed to get rid of that urge? He didn't know. He really didn't know.

He barely managed to plaster a crooked smile on his face as he forced out a half-assed, "None taken."

"Ah'm not dating him because of some stupid compulsion to touch him," Anna responded quickly, her voice dangerously low as she stalked towards Kitty who slowly withdrew in on herself. "Ah'm dating him because he's the only one Ah can touch in this whole goddamned school without having to be afraid of killing. Ah'm dating him because he doesn't treat me like Ah'm some leper who'll try and infect him if Ah get too close. Ah'm dating him because the first day he came here, he risked his life to test some theory the professor had just so Ah could get to know what it's like to touch someone without harming them."

"Ah'm dating him," she continued, having gotten close enough to Kitty to see the crusty patches of dry semen on her face. "Because Ah want to. And if you ever dare suggest à1aqaqaqàaaààaaQqqq like that."

Anna snorted. "As if Ah'd do anything else. Ah couldn't just sit there and let her talk like that."

"But…what if part of it is true?" Naruto asked. Her eyes narrowed. "I'm not saying it's the whole reason, but…it's not like you can go without touching me a-"

He hadn't meant to choke up, but he couldn't help it. To continue would mean sharing every single doubt he'd had since he and Anna had gotten together and he didn't want to burden her with those, especially if it turned out to be unfounded. Nevertheless, Anna's eyes softened as though she knew his thoughts and she placed a tender hand on his face, caressing his cheek with a smooth thumb.

"Oh, Sugah," she murmured gently. "You really think Ah'd have done any of the things we have just 'cause of your powers? Ah wouldn't go on a date with you just to hold your hand. Ah wouldn't kiss you just 'cause it makes the tingling stop and Ah sure as hell wouldn't make love to you just because Ah want to touch more of your skin. Ah'm not so weak as to give mahself to someone just for relief. Not for a permanent one and damned as hell not for a temporary one. Ah do them 'cause Ah want to do them. With you. Not because Ah have to touch you, not even because Ah can touch you. Because it's you."

"Well, it's not like you have any choice-" Naruto chuckled shakily. Shit, when last did he clean his room?

Anna grinned. "Are you crying, Sugar?"

"No, I just have dust in my eyes." He blinked rapidly, suddenly grateful for not having the regular eye pattern: luminous purple rings did a good job of hiding a lot of things, especially the ones he didn't want seen.

"Whatever you say, Sugah," she giggled and ran a finger across his lower eyelid. "Looks like tears to me."

"No!"

Her giggle erupted to a full blown laugh and despite not feeling like it, he found himself joining her, albeit to a lesser extent. The mirth didn't last long, but they were content to silently enjoy each other's presence for the next minute. It wasn't until they both decided they'd ignored the elephant in the room before they spoke again, with Anna breaking the silence. "So what do we do about Kitty?"

Naruto hummed, his mind going to the petite girl who'd left in a hurry. It had almost happened all too fast. The image of her hurt look, the suspicious glare she'd levelled on him and the frightened whimper she'd let out as she made her escape all melded into one in his memory. "We might have to talk with her again."

Anna shrugged, looking remorseful. "Ah think it's best that she and I don't see each other for a while."

"Now who's the scared one?"

"Ah think Ah gave her a nasty scare, Sugah—she can't be all too eager to see mah face anytime soon…sorry about what Ah said earlier; Ah was just mad."

"You're not wrong though, I'd been avoiding talking with her about it for too long," he admitted. "But you were hella frightening with the whole 'why's she showing up' outburst. Ah knew it!" he lightly teased her

The now red faced Anna halfheartedly slapped his arm. "Ah couldn't help it; you two have been kinda close. And it doesn't help that Ah think she likes you."

"What?" Naruto laughed. "Anna, we just hang out. That's the basis of friendship, it doesn't mean she likes me."

"Ah'm serious," Anna insisted. "Ah've seen her with other guys, she doesn't treat them like she does you."

"Maybe she's not as close with them as she is with me?" His indulgent smile faded at his girlfriend's scowl. "Sorry. Go on."

"She practically hangs off you everywhere you two go," Anna continued. "And how haven't you seen the way she looks at you? Sometimes Ah think she'd just jump up and kiss you out of nowhere."

"But-"

"And when you said you two aren't close enough to visit each other? You can't say you didn't see that: she looked like you told her the wrong answer in a test on purpose."

"I mean, sure, but-" he scratched his head, unsure of what to say. "Why are you so insistent on this anyway? Shouldn't you be trying to make sure I don't find out?"

"Well yeah," Anna shrugged. "But given her…condition, you'll have to spend even more time with her and, well, Ah can't help worrying."

"You're worried that something might spark between us?" Naruto completed it for her. "My, you doubt my integrity, Miss Marie," he ribbed her, switching his accent to a thick southern drawl that made her snort.

"Cut it out," she playfully slapped his arm again. "Ah'm not worried about you, Ah'm worried for you. Ah know you wouldn't do anything, but you haven't seen Kitty when she turns up her charm—she might not look like it, but she knows how to wrap a guy around her pinkie."

"But aren't you two friends?" he asked, suddenly confused. "She knows we're together, she wouldn't think of snatching her friend's boyfriend, would she?"

"Oh, Sugah." Anna chuckled. Naruto didn't like that chuckle: it sounded like she knew something he didn't and found his ignorance amusing. "She wouldn't, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Even we moved pretty fast for the same reason. She might not even realise when she starts making a move on you. "

"I'll be careful then," he conceded with a concerned frown. "But what about you? And don't tell me you're okay with it; you seemed okay with me and Kitty spending time together until she barged in tonight."

Anna pinched his cheek with another knowing chuckle. "Of course Ah'm not okay with it, Sugah. Nobody would be okay with having their man spend time with another girl, especially not when said girl likes him and they have to touch each other and stuff to keep her from losing her marbles." She sighed. "But in the end, Kitty's mah friend and even if she wasn't, Ah'd be wrong to keep her from getting her fix just 'cause Ah don't like it."

"That's…"

"Just don't don't let things go too far, Sugah." Anna paused for a moment before adding, "And if it ever starts to look like you two can't go on being as platonic as you are anymore, at least ask me before you do anything."

"That's never happening, Anna," Naruto objected. "We just need skin contact, that's all."

He only said that because he didn't know what it was like being in Kitty's shoes but Anna did, even more than Kitty herself. It would start small but the hugs would get tighter and the hand holding would last longer. Eventually they wouldn't be enough. Kitty would start to wonder how much relief she'd get from kissing him, how fast her fix would come if more of their skin touched and at some point, she'd begin wanting him inside her. And as those thoughts came, she'd try acting on them. There wasn't an 'if', only a 'when.'

"Time will tell, Sugah." As she spoke, her hand snaked into his boxers, prompting him to stiffen. "And whatever happens, just remember, Ah had you first."

Naruto smiled excitedly at her. "You want us to continue from where we left off?"

"Why, you must be a mind reader too, Mister Naruto," she giggled sultrily, gently pumping his hardening penis. "Ah was just thinking of getting mahself a dose of some miracle jizz."

"And I," Naruto mimicked her accent as he pushed her back onto his bed and helped her out of her panties. "Know of a few, intrusive, means of getting that job done."

"Do be gentle, good sir," Anna played along, lowering her voice to a purr which, combined with her accent, sent a shiver down his spine, and parted her legs for him, exposing the pink slit he'd been inside less than an hour ago. "Ah ain't used to taking a pounding yet."

Naruto's response came in the form of shimmying off his boxers and sheathing himself in her for the second time that night, eliciting a loud moan from the life stealer.

Their first time had been interrupted, but there weren't any unwelcome visitors throughout the duration of their second. Or third. Or fourth.

…

Naruto woke up with a loud groan, opened his eyes and immediately snapped them shut again.

He and Anna had spent the entirety of the night tangled up in each other's limbs. He didn't know just how long they'd had sex for, but he could still remember everything they'd done very vividly as well as passing out at some point. He had no idea what the time was but the bright light seeping through his closed curtains and the notable lack of commotion told Naruto he'd missed his morning alarm and very likely, the morning class as well. Strike three. At least he wasn't late thrice in a row, Mr McCoy would understand.

He'd probably have to miss the afternoon class too. He felt as stiff as a dry noodle and his eyes hurt just as much while open as while closed. He tried to fall asleep again and he probably would have, had he not noticed the sensation of something warm and wet wrapped around his cock. He raised his head to look downwards with bleary eyes.

It was Anna, just like he'd suspected. She didn't seem as wiped as he felt, because she eagerly bobbed her head on his crotch, her soft lips sealed around his gleaming cock and her cheeks hollowed, creating a pleasant suction that made his toes curl. Her eyes twinkled as she winked at him, having been made aware of his wakefulness by the noise he'd made and her greeting came in the form of introducing more of his length into her oral cavity, the mild sandpapery surface of her tongue grazing the underside of his cock as it slid in further.

"Hell of a way to wake a person up," he remarked.

Anna hummed and her vibrating throat massaged his glans, eliciting a shudder from the blond before withdrawing letting his morning wood slip out of her mouth. "Good morning, Sugah. Have a nice rest? Ah know Ah did."

"I think we have different definitions of nice," Naruto replied. He'd never been much of a morning person; he liked his sleep far too much to wake up at the crow's call but he'd always envied the people who could wake up early and still be raring to go.

"Well that won't do." She kissed his tip, leaving a glob of sticky saliva in her wake. "Let me see what Ah can do to make it better, hmm?"

Naruto sucked in a deep breath as she grabbed his cock, three of her fingers playing with his tip while she took her mouth to his ballsack, gently suckling on a testicle. The next minutes were spent enduring or enjoying, depending on perspective, the girl's pattern of suckling on his cock while fondling his balls and gobbling his nuts while beating him off. Her hands glided along the length of his dick, further aided by the precum that had intermingled with his saliva and when she switched, her tongue lapped at everything it could, from tip to base to his balls. He could already feel a familiar well beginning to rise in him and his muscles tensing as she continued to toy with his genitals. Either she'd been going at it for a while before he woke up or it was just him not having gotten himself yet, but he was already close to cumming.She's going to kill me at this rate.

Anna, having felt his oncoming orgasm, took his cock back into her mouth just as he began to cum. Beads of semen dribbled down his cock but failed to escape her lips, each one lapped up by her restless tongue as she moved her head around, continuing to blow him even as he trembled and his cock throbbed weakly. He didn't seem to have recovered fully from their late night marathon, but at least he was able to give her something for her effort. A lot less than she'd expected but she wasn't complaining; there was still enough of his jism in her to keep her for a while. Naruto's spasms only lasted a few seconds before he regained himself and panting, watched her slowly release his cock from the confines of her mouth, letting his tip escape with a soft pop.

"I don't think I can go back to bed anymore after this," he remarked. "Fuck, Anna. You're insatiable."

"You don't know the half of it, Sugah," Anna giggled and pecked his cheek, taking a perverse pleasure in seeing him grimace. "We'd have done a lot more, but you've got class and Ah got a call from Logan about a mission."

"I figured you wouldn't wake up so early for nothing…wait, I thought you were still a student."

"Ah am," she shrugged, getting up to dress. "Doesn't mean you're not going to do missions, just not while you're still new so for now, you're stuck with the danger room's simulations."

"So when exactly do you guys decide when someone's ready for missions?" Naruto inquired. "You've been here for a while and you're still a student but you're going around with teachers already."

Anna shrugged. "Depends on how well you can control your powers, how much you know about our world and how well you can hold your own against the enemy for starters. Mah mutation's passive and Ah've got no scarcity of experience since I'd been running with the bad guys so…"

"And you turned on them, hence passing the combat evaluation?"

Anna grinned. "Ah also fought the X-Men before that."

"Hah! My girlfriend's an asskicker!" he laughed.

"And don't you doubt it," she nodded proudly before frowning at nothing. Her eyes became vacant for a second before coming back into focus. "Alright, Naruto. Ah've kept them waiting long enough, Ah need to go before Logan starts complaining again."

No matter how many times he saw the tells of telepathic communication, Naruto doubted he'd ever get used to witnessing it; people weren't meant to zone out like that. "Wait, aren't you going to take a shower first?"

"Nice try, Ah already had one." She winked and skipped towards the door. "And don't forget to talk to Kitty. And Sugah, you can touch her tits and all if you have to, but nothing lower, alright?"

Without waiting for a response, she exited, closing the door behind herself and leaving the blond alone. Naruto sighed heavily and got off the bed, wrinkling his nose as he finally noticed the smell permeating the air as well as the dampness of his bedsheet from sweat and the results of their copulation. He'd been too drowsy to feel it before but now, his bed had felt really uncomfortable to lay on. Cleaning up was going to be a bitch.

But first, Kitty.

…

"Naruto! Hey, Naruto!"

The afternoon class had gone by in a hurry. A substitute teacher had taken over due to Mr McCoy being absent and much to his relief, Miss Frost was nowhere to be seen either. The only downside was, neither was Kitty. He'd spent the greater part of the afternoon searching for her to no avail and he had at first assumed she'd joined the X-Men, had a few classmates not told him they'd seen her in different places around the premises, ranging from the swimming pool to the square, leading to a wild goose chase that saw him exploring places he otherwise never bothered to go to alone. It wasn't until evening before he gave up on finding the girl and having put her at the back of his mind in favour of doing something more productive with his time than chasing after the wind, he was more than surprised when it was her who found him instead while he was on the way to the danger room.

"You," he started, pointing at her to punctuate the word. "Are inordinately gruelling to find, Kitty Pryde."

"I wasn't avoiding you," she claimed. "I was, like, just busy."

Whether it was a lie or not, he didn't know but he supposed it didn't matter—she wouldn't have called him were she avoiding him. "If you say so. So what's been taking up so much of your time? I didn't even see you in class today."

"Me and a few others are planning on, like, a welcome party." Kitty put a finger on her lips. "Don't tell though, it's a surprise."

"It's hard to know who not to tell when I don't even know who the party is for," he said drily.

Kitty looked puzzled at that. "You don't know? I thought Anna would have told you Laura came back this morning…you do remember Laura, right?"

It didn't take long for the name to call up the memories. Memories of holographic men, murder-bots, gleaming claws waiting to tear him asunder and green eyes gleaming with restrained bloodlust as their owner lunged at him amidst laser fire and commotion. Oh, he remembered Laura very clearly. The only memory more vivid than that of her trying to make confetti out of him was that of how her figure fought against the outfit she'd donned back when they first met; being with Anna had gotten rid of most of the thoughts he had for the black haired girl, but there were still days when he touched himself to the image of her ass straining against the leather pants and her shapely figure twisting and turning as she avoided attacks. It was wrong and shameful, he knew, but he was only human.

"I couldn't possibly forget," he grimaced. "Short and vicious. I'd be a fool not to remember."

"That's her," Kitt chuckled quietly. "But she's like, pretty nice even if she doesn't talk much and she helps us out a lot. We're not very close, but she's still our friend, you know?"

"Our?"

"Our. Me, Anna and many others," Kitty clarified. "We figured we'd do something nice for her when she got back."

Oh. "Shame Anna won't be around to attend, she went on a mission this morning."

"Yeah, I know," Kitty nodded. "She told me to help her buy a gift for Laura too, I was on my way to the mall when I saw you."

It was hard to tell where anyone was going most of the time; practically everyone dressed the same to most places and events. Anna rarely switched up from the mesh top and miniskirt mix and Kitty herself currently donned the same shirt and jeans combo he'd seen on her the first time they had met, except the jeans were now black and the shirt was nearly twice her fit. He supposed it was a form of training in itself: if they became full blown X-Men, they'd have to get used to wearing the same uniforms for days on end. It didn't mean he didn't feel strange though. He wasn't one for fashion but he always appreciated a little variety.

"Speaking of which, could I get, like, a fifty from you?" she pleaded, opening her eyes wide with that cutesy smile Anna liked to hate on, plastered on her face. On a normal day, Naruto would have folded if only because the look reminded him of a small pet but with the memory of his cum trailing down her face still fresh in his mind, he had to stuff his hands in his pocket to hold down his stiffening prick. Constantly comparing her to Anna had dampened her looks for him but when he looked at her with unbiased eyes, Kitty was pretty good looking. Her petite frame and modest proportions made her lean more towards the cute side but seeing her nearly mad with desire the previous night had bumped her further left into the 'sexy' spectrum. If she could look like that without having done anything, what face would she make if she got fu-

Naruto cleared his throat harshly. "Or why don't I go with you? I was meaning to buy a few things too anyway and I could help you pay for the things you get."

Kitty put on a show of thinking the offer through, but was quick to agree. "That sounds pretty cool but aren't you busy? I thought you were going somewhere."

"Ah, it can wait," Naruto replied, waving away her concerns. If Laura was there like he suspected she was, it really could wait; getting his ass handed to him again wasn't on his to-do list for the day and unless he managed to unlock some new ability, she wouldn't fall for his tricks again.

Besides, he had something to talk with her about.

…

As it turned out, accompanying Kitty to the mall hadn't been a bad idea as while she was a guru when it came to fashion and all things girl related, she still had no idea what to get for Laura. The girl was more tight-lipped about her personal life than a soviet spy and everything Kitty knew about her, she'd learned through both research and deduction and badgering/persuading her to reveal them. And although Laura was obviously a female, even Naruto could tell from one interaction with her that she probably didn't fancy the feminine niceties Kitty loved to indulge in which led to them skipping the shoe store, the accessories shop and most importantly, the makeup store. The trip hadn't been unproductive however — their trip had gone from a gift hunt to a hangout session that saw him and Kitty spending the better part of an hour playing around, only remembering to search for a gift for the clawed recluse whenever they saw something that brought the thoughts back into their heads until they decided to take a break in the food court.

Now that he thought of it, their outing turned out more like a date than anything else. It most definitely would look like that in the eyes of any passer-by, especially since they'd been holding hands the whole time.

Naruto didn't have much experience with the giving or receiving of gifts apart from the ones he'd exchanged with Anna, but he at least knew the most important part was knowing its recipient well, which led to his dilemma. The fact that he was also curious about her had nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.

"You know," he began after taking a sip of his milkshake. "I might have been giving suggestions, but I don't really know Laura all that well. I can't really think of what to get her if I don't even know what she's like."

Kitty, who'd been busying herself with trying to suck up the boba in her bubble tea, looked up at him. "Huh, I guess that's true. So, what do you want to know?"

"I'm not sure either," Naruto shrugged. "Has she shown signs of having any hobbies?"

"Does brutally murdering people in simulations count?" Kitty giggled at his dry look. "I'm just kidding. But no, she spends most of her time in the danger room and we haven't seen her do much outside of that."

"But what's the little that you have seen her do?"

"It…" Kitty paused then frowned. "Actually, we haven't seen her do anything."

Kept to herself often, didn't do much except train, didn't talk much and was very tight-lipped about her life. It all pointed towards a bad upbringing, most likely one rooted in violence. Of course he could be wrong, but he'd fought Laura before. Sure it turned out they couldn't mortally harm each other but she fought like she meant to kill him; her attempts at incapacitating him were usually followed up with killing blows. One didn't learn to fight like that in a dojo or a ring. She had most likely been trained to kill and was experienced at it too. But that was the thing. Why would Logan allow his daughter to grow up like that?

"What?"

He didn't realise he'd spoken out loud. "I'm just surprised Logan let her keep going on like this, what with her being his daughter and all."

Kitty tilted her head confusedly. "Who said she's his daughter?"

Naruto blinked. "Uhh, because she has the same hair? Same eye colour? Same claws?"

"Well, you're not off the mark." Kitty took another sip of tea and added, "she probably would have turned out different if he raised her but he hadn't."

"Wait, Logan's a deadbeat?" Naruto couldn't believe it. The perpetually grumpy man wasn't exactly a model father figure, but he'd shown to care for the students in his own way, even if that way was excessively tough love. That he'd abandoned his own daughter for years was…surprising.

"She's not his daughter, she's his clone" Kitty mentioned, as if knowing the direction his thoughts were going. "She got made by one of our, well, enemies. We're not only fighting mutants, you know."

Oh, he knew that. While he hadn't faced anyone in a real fight since arriving at the mansion, he'd been around to witness a few different organisations visit the mansion to speak with the professor, one of which had come specifically for him. There hadn't been any violent confrontation, but none of the meetings had been friendly. They had come for different purposes but the one thing they all had in common was their suspicion of the mutants. In their eyes, everyone within the premises was a threat.

All of a sudden, Laura's words to him when he'd first arrived felt heavier than they had back then.

"I see," he murmured slowly.

"You seem awfully curious about her," Kitty remarked.

Naruto raised a brow. "Because I asked about her hobbies?"

"Please, you're not the first guy I'm talking with," Kitty scoffed. "That's how you all start asking your girl friend about their friends."

He hadn't even asked anything serious and she'd already figured out what he intended to do. Experience really was the best teacher. "Well, you've got me."

Kitty narrowed her eyes at him. "Wait, you don't like, like her, do you?"

"Kitty, I've only met her once," he deadpanned. "It's just harmless curiosity. She helped me a lot back then so forgive me for wanting to know a little about her.'

"Once is all it takes sometimes," Kitty insisted. "And it's almost never a harmless curiosity."

"I have a girlfriend, Kitty. Or do you also think I'm a cheater on top of 'forcing' her to date me?" His retort came out a lot more heated than he thought and he saw Kitty flinch before slightly hanging her head. He sighed. "Kitty…I didn't mean it like that."

"You're still mad about last night, aren't you?" she asked tentatively.

Naruto pursed his lips. "To be honest, a little. Those were pretty heavy things to accuse a person of. I'm not some creep, you know?"

"Yeah, I know…sorry, I was just worried about her."

"I know that too." he nodded and seeing her still looking down, lightly nudged her with his elbow. "Hey, chin up! We're hanging out here, aren't we? It's all good, really."

"But you said we weren't close," Kitty added. "I thought we were friends. Why'd you say that?"

Naruto stifled another sigh. It seemed they really had a lot to talk about. "It's…there's stages, alright? I mean, don't get me wrong; I like you. A lot. You're my best friend on this campus but that's the thing, Anna's my girlfriend. Were I single, it wouldn't be a problem to let you come to my room and the other way round, but there's got to be those boundaries, y'know? For nothing else if not for Anna."

"So we are, like, that close?" Kitty asked, looking confused.

"We are, we just can't," he clarified.

"Huh," she nodded slowly. "I get it now…you're a lot better than Lance," she said, her tone sour. "He was always talking with other girls and bullying people. I kept telling him to stop but he'd just say yes to my face and go on doing it when I wasn't around."

"Well, there's always going to be an opportunity to find someone better." Kitty gave him a look he wasn't sure he liked. It was reminiscent of a child staring at a fresh poster of a new flavour of ice cream on the glass wall of a store.

"Yeah…I guess there is. It's going to be a bit hard though, considering I have to, like, touch you all the time." Kitty chuckled to herself. She didn't sound as displeased with the idea as he'd expected.

"You're not angry about it?" Naruto asked tentatively.

She shrugged. "I'm not happy about it but at the same time there's, like, worse people I could have had to do this with. You're the best option, Naruto."

"Ah." He scratched his head bashfully. He had no idea what to say to that. "Right. I'm…glad."

"You should be," Kitty smiled at him brightly. "So, really. Do you like Laura?"

And they were back to the beginning. Naruto sighed. "I'm really just curious, Kitty. I've got to know what she's like."

"Why?"

"So I can know how to avoid getting my throat shredded when I explain to her what happened with me touching her."

Kitty gasped. "Oh my God!"

"Yeah," he grimaced. "She helped me up and carried me to the showers when we first met. Same day as you."

He'd never seen Kitty look so worried before. "It got this bad for me and I'm the one who touches you often. How do you think Laura's doing?"

"Considering she hasn't gone rabid and run back here to search for me since that day, I imagine she has a way to keep it at bay."

"Learning to ignore it doesn't make it go away."

"Hey, chances are, she-"

"Don't jinx it, Naruto," Kitty deadpanned. "You said that about me too until I got in your room and-" she paused and went red in the face.

"Yeah, you're right." Naruto admitted. The two went silent, focusing on their respective beverages. When that was done and the cups were properly disposed of, Kitty led him out of the food court.

"You know, why don't we just, like, get her something to wear?" She asked, pointing at a clothing store across the wide opening in the centre of the mall. Naruto remembered it as the one he'd gotten Anna her jacket from.

"Can't go wrong with clothes," he agreed.

"I know, right? I've also got a few sets I've been meaning to try on." Kitty powerwalked towards the store with Naruto idly following behind her. "Who knows, maybe I could even, like, buy them all today!"

Hope she's not talking about using me to get them, Naruto thought. Eventually they got in and without much looking around, Kitty bounded towards a section only to come out a few seconds later with a few different articles of clothing.

"Hey, look!" She excitedly pushed each one out at him. "What do you think? Pretty good, right?"

"Shouldn't we be searching for something for Laura first?"

She giggled sheepishly. "Well, yeah but, like, it's not like we're in a hurry or anything. Besides, we've still got to think of what to buy."

"I guess that's true," he sighed.

"Mhm. I'll be right back." She promptly made her way towards the dressing rooms, leaving Naruto to stand alone among racks of folded and hung clothes. The odd looks he got from some of the other patrons went easily ignored. A lot of the time it was just because of his eyes, which he'd gotten to and if it was because of where he was, they could bite him—the store was unisex.

Was it?

"Naruto?" Kitty's voice came out from one of the booths.

"Yeah," he answered, walking towards the booth to hear her better.

"Could you come in here?" she asked softly. "I kind of, like, need help with something here."

Naruto stiffened. He'd never experience it for himself but he'd read enough books and seen enough movies to know it didn't take long for things like that to escalate. The 'NO SEX' sign right outside the booths hadn't been placed there for no reason. "Uh, I can go get someone to help-"

"No!" He jolted. "I mean, I don't want some stranger seeing me like this."

"But I'm a guy."

"Pleaseeee?"

Shit. Fuck. Damn. Why did she always have to sound like that? He looked around briefly before subtly entering the booth, levitating to mask his footsteps. "Alright alright, I'm coming in. What's the problem-oh."

He now understood why she didn't want a stranger. Shit, he probably wouldn't even be seeing it himself weren't it for her wardrobe malfunction: her legs up to her belly were tightly strangled by a pitch black leather outfit that reflected the lighting in the booth. Her arms were just as constrained by the leather, restricting their ability to move around. His suspicion about the outfit was confirmed when he saw the full face mask with a zipper dangling off her upper back.

Kitty Pryde was wearing a gimp suit. A gimp suit that had gotten stuck near her chest. The incredulity of the sight would have made him laugh were he not so shocked. How the hell had she even snuck it past him?! "Kitty, you…"

Kitty blushed a dark red, still looking away from him. "Just come help me out with the zipper."

She turned so her back would face him, inadvertently giving him a clear view of her body further emphasised by the hugging leather. Her clothes seemed to hide most of her form because he could swear he'd never seen her look so…curvy. Her slim figure meshed so very erotically well with the leather suit and its black colour contrasted very pleasantly with the pale smoothness of her back. The absence of a strap told him she'd either taken off her bra or hadn't worn one at all. She only had to turn around to give him a good look at her breasts, small enough to fit in his hands yet so soft he could probably reshape them if he tried. He'd know, he'd held them by accident once.

She shuffled, making her modest yet shapely ass rub against the leather loudly. "Well?"

"Uh, right." He neared the girl, keeping a small enough distance that his boner wouldn't poke her and began pulling the zipper down.

"Wait, don't take it off."

Naruto tilted his head questioningly. "I don't get it, why did you call me in then?"

"I…" Kitty hugged herself shyly. Naruto doubted she knew just how hot that made her look from behind. "I really didn't need help, I just wanted to know what you thought."

Ah. "I…it looks good on you, Kitty. Like really, really good." He never put any thought into BDSM, but he couldn't say he didn't see why a lot of people were into it. "But do you feel alright wearing it? It looks really uncomfortable."

"It is, but at the same time it feels, like, really good." Kitty's voice trailed off into a whisper. "I like feeling like this."

"You…like feeling restrained?" Naruto asked, trying to mask his disbelief behind a casual tone? Oh shit, Kitty's a masochist!

"Yeah," she nodded slowly. "I don't know why but I've been wondering how it'd feel, not being able to move on my own. Just, not being, like, free. Is it weird?"

"No, it's kind of kinky," he confessed. "Tell you the truth, I think you look sexy from here."

"Really?" Kitty looked back at him. "You don't think I'm weird?"

He shook his head. "No, not at all. You like what you like. But…when did it start? You've never shown any signs before."

"Back when you used those chains on me…I couldn't move, I couldn't even use my powers," Kitty began. "It's happened to me a lot, especially in the danger room but this time, I like, I felt…safe. Like I'd be okay if I just…let go and let you do what you wanted. I've thought of it a lot since then and…"

She slowly turned around to face him, revealing her naked torso, just like he'd expected. "I liked it, Naruto. I liked feeling like that. Now, I can't even get, like, held in place by one of those bots in the danger room without feeling my whole body tingle. It all feels good, but when I think of you keeping me in place like that again, I just get hot all over."

Oh no. He really had to understand how his powers worked: he hadn't even meant to tie her up that day and he most certainly hadn't intended to awaken an S fetish in her!

"Could you do it again?" she requested hopefully. "Could you tie me up like that day again?"

Naruto wanted to, he really did. But Anna's warning about not taking things too far flashed like a billboard in his mind along with the thoughts of what humouring Kitty would lead to. The girl was horny, he could tell. She'd purposely tried putting on a gimp suit knowing it would turn her on and called him in to help her further. He could already see all the things that would follow him enabling her, none of which involved clothes.

The 'NO SEX' sign outside was there for a reason.

"Kitty, I can't." He sighed. Once again, she looked like she'd been kicked. "It's not that I don't want to, but I promised Anna not to let things go too far between us without her knowing about it. And believe me, if I do what you want now, I don't think I'd be alright with just tying you up. I'd like to do more. A lot more."

,

Kitty, who'd been listening to him raptly, smiled shakily. "I can tell," she said, pointing to the outline of his erection that he'd shifted to hide.

Naruto fought the urge to cover his crotch. "Well, yeah. You're pretty hot, Kitty. I wasn't kidding when I said we'd be a lot closer than we are if me and Anna weren't a thing."

"But you are," she smiled ruefully.

"Yeah," he agreed quietly. "She said I can, and I quote 'touch your tits if I have to' but nothing further. If you really still want me to, you can talk with her about it, but just in case, I'll try picking up some BDSM stuff for you. That cool?"

Kitty chuckled a bit, her face seemingly reddening even further. "Yeah, that's cool. You and Anna are weirdos, you know that? She lets you touch my breasts? Isn't that already cheating?"

Naruto doubted Anna really had a problem with him doing anything with Kitty. It was probably just a matter of trust. She most likely just wanted to know she could trust him not to do anything she didn't want him doing. "That's a question for her. Besides, normal is overrated."

"Of course it is. Men." She shook her head amusedly. "Could you help me out of the suit now? For real this time?"

This time, he didn't have any problem approaching her.

"Hey now that I think about it," Naruto spoke as he slowly pulled down the zipper. "This gives me an idea of what to get for Laura."

"Hmm? What do you have in mind?" Kitty enquired, extracting her arms from the suit's confines.

"She seems to like leather a lot; why don't we just get her a leather jacket or something?"

"You know what? That's, like, a pretty good idea," she agreed. "You can stop now, I'll take the rest off myself."

"Hmm?" It was only then Naruto noticed he'd reached the end. Anything else would have seen him pulling the suit down and revealing her ass. "Huh, alright."

"You can wait outside now if you want," she suggested. "Or…you can watch if you want?"

Naruto had never fled a booth faster.

…

When Naruto had gone into the danger room the next morning, he had expected to be alone with nothing except simulations for company or at most, see a few other people with the same idea of training in the early morning as he did. It was a Saturday after all; most of the students did better things with their weekends than get their asses beat by murder-bots and simulated villains. What he hadn't expected however, was to walk in to see Laura loading up another combat scenario. From the stench of ozone and burnt flesh as well as the various scars of battle littering the otherwise pristine room and the few other occupants, it wasn't the first one she'd be going through.

"Ever thought of slowing it down a little?" he asked in greeting. Laura glanced at him, unsurprised by his appearance—she'd probably smelt him from dozens of metres away.

Laura didn't offer a response, choosing instead to stare at him intently. For a moment, Naruto thought she was going to attack him but she simply turned back to the computer. "No."

"Oh." He looked around, confused as to what to say next. "So…how was the mission you went on?"

"FIne."

"Right." Naruto nodded awkwardly. "Well, Kitty asked me to-"

Laura cut him off. "I know, I can smell it in your hand. Leather, fur. A jacket."

Naruto glanced at the bag in his hand. He'd intended to keep it in his locker for when next he met Laura but hell. "That…pretty accurate."

"Yeah." Laura halted typing whatever parameters she had been inputting and stared at the screen pensively. "I smell things really well."

"That's nice?"

"Yeah." Laura stretched out a hand. "So? Hand it over. Kitty asked you to give it to me, didn't she?"

Naruto smirked. "That's where you're wrong, I got it for you."

The clone blinked. "Really?"

"Yeah." Him and Kitty had picked it out together but he'd been the one to pay for it so, the point stood.

"Oh." Laura looked at him then the bag then after a moment of contemplation, left the computer to take it from him. "Uh, thanks."

"You should thank Kitty too — I wouldn't know you were back if she hadn't told me. She also helped me pick it out," he added.

"I'll do that," she nodded and took out the jacket, admiring the craftsmanship and feeling up the dark brown fur lining the collar. "It's pretty nice." With that, she put it on and stretched her arms out. "Good fit too. Seems durable. I like it."

Naruto barely breathed a sigh of relief. "You should, we spent a long time thinking of something to get you."

That seemed to surprise her too. "Oh…" she looked down at her hand for a moment before reaching out and awkwardly cupping his shoulder. "I appreciate it."

Naruto grinned, suddenly feeling self conscious as the other students chattered and pointed at them. "Hey, it's nothing."

Laura nodded and after taking the jacket off and folding it back into the bag, she asked, "Have you been training?"

"Never miss a day," he replied, flexing his arms. His hoodie concealed the majority of his biceps but the outline was still visible.

"I'll find out soon enough." She turned to the other students. "Session's over, get out!"

They were all too happy to oblige and quickly fled the large chamber, leaving her alone with a pale Naruto who'd broken out in a nervous sweat. "Wait, what are you doing?" He saw the screen flash red on one side. "Why are you ramping up the difficulty?!"

"For practice."

"Can I change my clothes first?"

"You think your enemies are going to care if you're not dressed to fight?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"To whom much is given, much is expected," she murmured and took several steps back from him as weaponized robots emerged from the floors and ceilings along with multiple individuals, all unrecognisable, shimmered into view along with the altered environment. "You have power. Probably even more than you know what to do with. I won't let you get comfortable with training like the others, not when you're better."

"Better?" He shrieked as one of the individuals blurred from his view and appeared in his face with an arm cocked back. Out of reflex, a wave of pure repulsive force escaped him, sending the man flying back and creating a crater the size of a collapsible pool. Another lunged at him with nails like daggers and he blocked the blow with a pile of earth that got sliced through like wet paper. He didn't have time to be surprised as he was forced to duck and weave past an onslaught of attacks that went through each barrier he put up between himself and his rabid assailant. Seeing an opening, he pushed the man away and jumped out of the way of a lance of energy that bored clean through the spot he'd been standing. Sensing someone approaching him, he raised another pile of dirt to shield him and felt it vibrate as something impacted it hard. Not giving it much thought, he launched the same rock at the speeding man who dodged it with a cocky smirk.

A roar alerted him to the clawed man approaching him and chains sprouted out of his back to wrap around his attacker, raising him high and dropping him back on the ground hard enough to embed him into the ground. Much to his surprise, what was meant to be a twisted body bounded out, twisting in the air and slashed at him, only missing his chest by a few inches. Naruto side stepped a smaller figure that leapt at him and upon catching a glimpse of silver hair, stretched his hand out to pull him in before he could run again. He quickly regretted it as his forearm got clawed into, the thick fabric of his hoodie being the only thing that kept it from reaching bone. He grunted in pain and kicked the man away, enhancing his blow with repulsive force and after ducking under another flying kick from the small man, grabbed him by the leg and tossed him away, this time managing to send a concentrated blast of gravitational force that sent him flying further into the air. The man didn't get far up before he halted in mid air, surprising Naruto who looked around to find a helmeted figure with his hand raised.

"Never let your guard down!"

Laura's voice alerted him just in the nick of time for him to repel what would have been a rib-shattering bear hug, but he failed to avoid the supersonic punch that followed. His world exploded in blinding light and he repelled everything away in an attempt to buy time for his head to clear up. Another like that and I'll be out cold. He took to the air, successfully avoiding the rest of the attacks only for a long tongue to wrap around his leg courtesy of the small man he'd sent flying, and slam him back on the ground with deceptive strength.

The stars had yet to fade from Naruto's vision when he saw a lovecraftian-ly obese man in the air quickly descending towards him and with a panicked scream, stretched out both hands and sent him flying back into the air. He managed to fire out three chains that pulled him away from the man's shadow just as he finally crashed down, cratering the ground he impacted. Unfortunately, the others had all recovered quickly and subjected him to a barrage of attacks, few of which he only barely managed to avoid by the skin of his teeth, most of which came dangerously close to putting him out of the game. It wasn't even their speed or the fact that each of them knew how to use their abilities to deadly extents that made them so difficult, it was their teamwork. That damn cohesiveness in their fighting. The ones who weren't attacking were supporting. When he sent one flying, they were brought to a gentle landing. When he got uppercutted, there was always someone ready to go for his throat. When he took to the skies, there was always a tongue to force him down and when he was incapacitated, the horrifyingly large man was always ready to squash him like a bug or bite his head off.

He'd only managed to endure for a minute before quickly becoming overwhelmed and after less than thirty seconds of being slapped around, they all suddenly vanished, leaving him alone with Laura who stared at him, visibly unimpressed. He couldn't blame her, he hadn't even impressed himself.

"You still can't fight for shit," Laura commented. "But you don't look as banged up as I thought you'd be."

Naruto glared at her with the lone eye that hadn't been punched shut.

"Huh, that's a vicious look," he smirked. "Sounds like you're trying to fight me too."

Were he any less incensed, he'd have considered the foolishness of challenging what was probably the strongest person in the room to a fight. But after getting kicked around for what had felt like hours, he was feeling murderous and looking for what or who to take it out on. He grinned at her, the intent clear.

Her smirk evolved into a full blown smile that showed unusually pointed canines. "I was meaning to end it here, but you asked for it."

Had she been looking at that moment, she'd have noticed a second ring enlarged in Naruto's eye as he went into a shaky caricature of a boxing stance. "Bring it."

….

Their clash had ended just like the first, except with a few differences. Just like before, Naruto had failed to keep up with her physically and just like he'd expected, none of his tricks had worked with her. At least not at first; it had come as a surprise to them both when in an attempt to repel her, Naruto's hand had instead morphed into a cybernetic cannon that blew a hole through her midsection. The horror he'd felt from seeing her flop to the ground with vaporised innards had been quickly replaced by fear when she recovered in mere seconds and attempted to hamstring him only to find out his skin had been replaced completely by metal. His little winning moment hadn't lasted long because apparently Laura had a wealth of experience dealing with robots and cyborgs. She'd quickly overwhelmed him once again, however her declaration of victory was cut short courtesy of a sword that had emerged from his wrist and impaled her through the neck.

Which led to the present. Naruto tried to ignore the warmth of her blood in his face and the taste of it in his mouth as he stared at Laura who stared back, uncaring of her rapidly healing neck or the fact that her blood had practically painted him red. He wondered how many times she'd suffered the same injury—she'd straddled him and yet the clamp of her legs on his hadn't loosened even when the sword had severed her spine.

"I'm sure," Laura said when her vocal cords had sown themselves back together. "I've won again."

Naruto spat. "Yeah, you've got blood on me too."

Laura smirked. "Hm. You've improved a lot over the last month. But it's still not enough."

Naruto scowled. "I fought a bunch of those bastards and then you, I don't think not enough is the word you're looking for."

"You faced a few of our enemies," Laura added. "They're called the Brotherhood of Evil, they're mutants like you and you want to know the best part? I only loaded up the most well-known of them and even then, those guys you fought were at their weakest."

Why was she only chatty when talking about fighting? "What do you mean, at their weakest?"

"I mean it like I said it," Laura said. "You held your own better than most but you barely lasted a minute against them. It's still impressive though. Only a month of training and you lasted a small time against them. Imagine how you'd fare if you knew and mastered all your powers. If you were at your best."

"Err, I'd beat them?"

Laura snorted. "That remains to be seen. Get better, Naruto. You're still too weak. You seem to have been prioritising physical conditioning over mastering your abilities but what a person like you needs is balance. You have too many powers to fight like one without any. Your tactics were basic, predictable. Work on that. Learn to innovate."

"Right," he ground out. He knew there were better people than him—even Kitty kicked his ass when they fought—but being basically told he wasn't shit stung. "Could you get off me now?"

"In a minute," Laura muttered, slowly coming closer to him. For a flustered moment, Naruto thought of how beautiful she looked, even with blood and grime staining her face. Wait, she was still coming closer. Was she going to kiss him?! "Your eyes…"

Oh. "What's wrong with it?"

"Why do I keep seeing them?" Laura stayed silent for several seconds before speaking again. "Why do I want to touch you so bad?"

Naruto's stomach dropped. It wasn't so much as what she'd asked, but rather the manner. She'd been so far, blunt, bold at most and confidently tentative at least. But now, she sounded completely unsure, as though treading unfamiliar grounds. She probably was and although he understood, people like her tended to react violently first to unfamiliar emotions before thinking it through later and while he doubted Laura would claw his face off, it wasn't a risk he was ready to take.

"Can.." he swallowed. "Can you get off me first?"

Laura's eyes narrowed. "N-"

"Oh my stars and garters! What's going on here?!" The two turned to see Mr McCoy staring at them from the looking glass above the chamber. "Miss Kinney, get off that young man right now!"

Laura grit her teeth, but complied. "Yes, sir."

"Is that blood?!" Hank shrieked. "What have you two been told about restraint?! Go clean yourselves up this instant. And no fooling around in there!"

Laura glowered up at the blue giant but got an equally fierce stare in return. Their stare-off only lasted a few seconds before she stretched a hand out to him. "Come on, let's go."

"Just like before, huh?" Naruto took her hand and pretended not to notice her shudder. "God, I feel even worse standing up."

Laura snorted amusedly. "You'll live. Let's go."

"I just don't get it," he spoke. "Why are you so convinced I'm different from the others? What's got you so invested in how strong I get?"

"I don't know, it's something about you," Laura murmured, more to herself than him. "Something interesting. Something…dangerous."

A bit unnerved, Naruto glanced back at Hank who tilted his head suspiciously and turned forward to follow Laura to the showers. He didn't fail to notice her flushed face and the glances she kept sneaking at him when she seemed sure he wasn't looking.

Nor did he fail to notice that she still hadn't let go of his hand.

…

After he and Laura had cleaned up and gone their separate ways, he spent the majority of the afternoon in Hank's lab and after that Naruto spent the remainder of the day studying/hanging out with Kitty in the campus square, then going to watch a movie at the mall by evening. It was there he found out that while she shared Anna's love for chick flicks, it was to a much greater degree; at least he'd never seen Anna cry just because the protagonist kissed some model looking guy on a beach at sunset which was, conveniently enough, also the same time and place she'd been dumped by her unnecessarily insensitive ex and while he usually tried to stay awake during them out of consideration for Anna, Kitty's constant comments made it impossible for him to even think of getting a power nap in.

As usual, it had been night by the time they returned to the campus and after escorting Kitty to her room but refusing to stay and chat, he returned to his room feeling forty-five dollars lighter. He unlocked his door while whistling a tune he remembered hearing on Hank's radio and walked into the darkness of his room. After tossing his jacket onto his chair and shedding his sweat-drenched undershirt, he flicked the lights on.

And nearly had a heart attack when he saw Anna staring right at him. "Shit!"

"Surprised, Sugah?" Anna smiled devilishly. "Ah'm back."

"You couldn't have turned on the lights? I almost blew this room sky high!" He retorted, clutching his chest. "Welcome back, by the way. How was the mission?"

"And miss seeing you react like this? Not a chance, boyfriend," she grinned. "God, it's fun to startle you."

"Yeah, until you catch me at a bad time and take a free trip to Kansas." It was an empty threat and they both knew it.

"You won't do that, you love me too much," she said confidently. He rolled his eyes and lay next to her. "Ah saw you and Kitty at the square this afternoon. You two looked like you were having fun."

Her tone was casual but something in it told Naruto she was feeling anything but cool about him and the petite mutant spending time together, even if she'd permitted it. "Yeah, we studied for a bit there then went to the mall after."

"Ah can tell, you smell like popcorn." Her nose crinkled. "Sweat too…you and her do something else after."

"You know I wouldn't, Anna." Naruto frowned. "I told you I'd ask. We just went to the store to find something to get for Laura yesterday and…oh, shit." He covered his face. "I saw her naked. She wanted me to tie her up too."

Rather than complain like he'd expected, Anna simply sighed resignedly. "Ah knew she'd try making a move on you eventually. Trust me, it'll only get worse from here and-wait," she squinted, befuddled by the last part. "She wanted you to tie her up?"

"Turns out she's a masochist," Naruto rubbed her face. "Like a literal gimp suit wearing, I-get-horny-when-you-bind-me, honest to God masochist. I did that to her, Anna; if it weren't for the fiasco with the chains back then, she wouldn't have awakened some S and M fetish."

"Oh.." Anna looked lost for words. "Ah..wow. Ah never thoug-Ah hadn't taken Kitty to be into that sorta stuff. Like Fifty shades of grey masochist?"

"Probably worse," he said. "She wanted me to tie her up in the dressing room after putting on a gimp suit."

"Wow," the life stealer repeated. "This is not what Ah expected to hear today."

Naruto looked at her concernedly. "You know if I have to keep helping her out, I'm going to have to, well…"

"Ah know that, Naruto." Anna pursed her lips. "It's okay if you do." At Naruto's unconvinced expression, she added, "Really. You can help her out."

"...fine," Naruto conceded.

She hummed satisfactorily. "Just remember, Ah'm your girlfriend."

"You know I wouldn't do anything if you don't want me to, Anna."

"Ah know, Sugah. Ah'm only even letting you because Ah trust you. And Kitty needs you as much as Ah do."

"...so," he drawled, thinking of something to change the subject with. "Where'd you go?"

"Can't say, Sugah." She pecked him on the lips and let him rest his head between her crossed legs. "Ah heard you and Laura duked it out this morning."

"Duked it out is a misnomer for what happened—it's more like she kicked my ass six ways to Sunday," he said, rubbing her thigh.

"Sounds like her," Anna chuckled with a hint of worry in her voice. "She didn't do anything…harsh to you, did she?"

"I think you should be more worried about her." Naruto concentrated for a moment, trying to capture what he'd felt during the fight. It took a few seconds but he got it and Anna watched with wide eyes as his hand morphed into a cannon.

"You're a cyborg?!" The panic in her voice was palpable, enough that he could tell she'd have fled were it not for him.

"No, it's just…something I can do." he pointed his hand at the wall across the room, watching the gears in his arm turn until it reverted back to his normal hand. Anna cautiously felt his arm and was surprised to feel warm, supple flesh rather than cold, smooth metal. "Laura and I got a shock when I blew her entire torso away with it."

"But…how?" Anna found it difficult to wrap her head around the concept of her boyfriend being able to alternate between man and machine at will.

"Hank's got no idea either," Naruto answered with a shrug. "He said it's tied to my eyes since one of the rings has grown larger than it was before but he doesn't know how."

"That's not possible, you don't turn from robot to man to robot just because of a pair of eyes." Anna shook her head, the bewilderment heavy in her voice. First her friend was a closet deviant and now her boyfriend, the same boy who'd cum in her just a night before, turned out to be capable of just…becoming a robot despite a proven absence of mechanical parts in him.

"I mean, there's nothing logical about our mutations in the first place. What's one more unexplainable ability? Besides," he grasped her hand. "We have this in common, it's not like anyone knows how your powers work either."

"Ah guess that's true," she calmed down, still a bit skeptical. "Ah just can't believe it." She looked into his eyes at the four remaining lines that remained thinner than the innermost two. "So if a second ring growing means a second ability, does that mean you've got four more abilities to unlock?"

Naruto nodded. He and Hank had made the same hypothesis too, what with it being the only one backed by circumstance. "It seems so. I wonder what they are."

"Ah hope they aren't too destructive, like turning you into a nuke or something," Anna joked, playing with his hair as she spoke.

"I hope not too." That was another thing that frustrated Hank as well about his powers: they were completely disconnected. The ability to manipulate gravity had nothing to do with the miraculous ability to become a machine. It made the remainder of his to-be abilities completely impossible to predict. "But they decided I'd be going through a special training regime in the danger room to see if I'll unlock any else."

Anna's brow furrowed in worry. "What's it going to be?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," he shrugged. "All I know is that Hank and Logan are setting it up for me with Laura's help since they theorised that something she did must have jump started it."

"What did she do? What scenario did she run?" Anna asked.

"She made me fight a few guys from the Brotherhood of Evil."

Anna gasped. "The brotherhood?!"

"You know them?" It was after the question left him that he realised its stupidity.

"They're practically our arch-enemies, mostly because their leader is Magneto himself. They're bad news, like real bad news," she scowled. "They're the guys Ah used to run with before Ah left."

Naruto whistled. Kitty had told him about Magneto, who was supposed to be the professor's ideological antithesis. While the professor believed in coexistence, Magneto believed mutants were intrinsically superior to humans, despite the latter's greater population, and took steps to basically secure mutants on top of the food chain. The pro-mutant nature of his beliefs however, were polluted by his acts of terrorism and his recruitment of legitimate murderers, if the enemies he'd fought were any indicator.

"So my girlfriend's been on both sides of the law," he remarked. "That's pretty badass. You're like those undercover cops in movies who know how everything works because they're former gangbangers turned straight."

Anna raised a brow. "You're really odd sometimes, you know that?"

"Why, Ah'd be a witch's tit if Ah didn't 'preciate mah gurl," he drawled in a thick southern accent. Anna laughed lightly and slapped his arm. "Seriously, those guys kicked my ass hard. And they weren't even at their full power, if Laura was telling the truth but next time I'll be ready."

Anna smiled indulgently. He didn't know it but the danger room was directly connected to Cerebro which was constantly being fed memories of opponents faced in combat due to the professor and other telepathic mutants who ventured out. Needless to say, the enemies were constantly being added and updated. There was a chance that the next time he faced them, they wouldn't be like he remembered. "Ah'll be rooting for you, Sugah."

Naruto smiled at her, his glowing purple eyes mesmerising her like it often did. The feel of his hand caressing her thighs didn't help matters, she could feel a pleasant warmth growing in her core, fanned even hotter by his touch. "Say, you're not tired are you, Sugah? Ah've got a thing or two Ah feel like doing right now."

Naruto grinned. "You've been reading my mind."

…

Kitty sneakily phased through the walls on the way to Naruto's room. It was funny how she was doing the same thing she'd been doing two nights ago but this time she'd accidentally left her books with him again and she'd been given an assignment due by morning. The fact that she'd get to touch him again was an added benefit and in Anna's absence, there was no risk of her walking into anything she wasn't meant to. But upon reaching Naruto's room and sticking her head into his door, she found that not only was he not alone, she had stumbled upon the sight of him and Anna fucking.

Anna was on all fours with Naruto reaming her from behind, his hands on her waist pulling her towards himself as he crammed as much of his cock into her as he could with each thrust. Kitty, transfixed on the spot, watched as his erection, stiff and veiny, vanished into her friend only to emerge immediately after, its exposed length glistening with vaginal fluids. He was big, at least bigger than Lance was. She'd have been afraid of him hurting Anna were said girl not cursing up a storm as she took him in, her face flushed and her eyes clouded with lust as she pushed herself back against her blond lover who's eyes glowed brighter than Kitty had ever seen them as he rammed her pussy hard enough for the sound of impacting flesh to reach her, the lewd rhythm making her rub her legs together to staunch the arousal that had begun to soak her panties.

Anna's essence dripped onto Naruto's bed and dribbled down Naruto's balls, leaving a trail of viscous release as it slapped against her mound and Naruto paused to adjust himself, his cock undoubtedly stirring up the white-streaked brunette's insides before continuing to thrust into her, his dick eliciting a lip-biting cross between a moan and a grunt from the girl. Kitty doubted they'd notice her if she even walked in. Hell, she doubted they'd stop even if they did. And in spite of knowing what would happen, she wanted to go in and join them. To lick Anna's pussy just as much as she would suck on Naruto's cock. She wanted them to berate her, to restrain her and keep her from escaping as they used her to satiate themselves—their personal doll for the night. And when it was all done, she wanted to clean up after them, to suck Naruto's cum out of Anna's filled pussy and lick Anna's release off his cock and balls.

Kitty shuddered and pulled back from the door, leaving the two to fuck unwatched. The urge to touch herself was becoming unbearable but common sense was quick to take the reins; she didn't want to think of what would happen if she got caught masturbating in the corridor of the boys' dorms, her being here was risky enough as it was.

The sight of the copulating lovers refused to leave her as she left for her room in the same manner she'd entered, albeit with far more thoughts plaguing her. Why did Anna have to be the lucky one? Why did she have to get a boyfriend who was just as good in bed as he was outside of it while she was the one dealing with playboys, weirdos and a cheating ex who refused to move on from her?! She wanted what the life-thief had too!

And even more than that, she wanted who she had.

…

After a night of vigorous masturbation and restless sleep filled with erotic dreams, Kitty tiredly walked into the morning class, hoping to take a seat somewhere at the back where she could sleep. With any luck, Naruto would be around to cover for her like they often did each other. She was surprised however, to see Anna in the classroom with Naruto himself missing. Kitty barely managed to keep from frowning at her fellow brunette who'd noticed and begun beckoning her over.

Anna looked so…clean. As if she hadn't been getting treated like a broodmare the previous night. The smile on her face was a stark contrast from the blank, sex-drunk look she'd seen before. Kitty approached her friend, not bothering to conceal her tired appearance. It was funny how she'd barely slept while the cause herself looked fresh as a wildflower.

"You look tired, Kitty," Anna remarked as Kitty sat next to her. "Couldn't sleep?"

If only you knew. "I had something on my mind," Kitty replied. "You usually avoid coming to class because of, like, your powers. What changed?"

Anna shrugged. "Ah figured Ah'd take the risk today—Ah can't keep avoiding people forever, you know?"

Kitty doubted that was the only reason, if one of them at all, but she wasn't in the mood to press for more. "That's nice, Anna. By the way, where's Naruto? I figured you two would be here together."

Anna sighed quietly. "He had to go to the danger room. Specialised training."

This time, Kitty did frown. Special training was usually reserved for people with particularly unique—and by unique she meant powerful/dangerous—powers, the type that wouldn't be cultivated quickly, if at all by the average regimen the students followed. Consequently, they ended up using the section of the danger room, as well as simulations, reserved for graduates and teachers. For Naruto to start his own out of the blue was unheard of, meaning something drastic had to have happened yesterday.

"What happened? Did he lose control again?" she inquired worriedly.

"He got another ability," Anna replied, rubbing off an ink writing on the desk with a gloved finger. "Apparently, he can now turn into a robot or something."

Kitty squinted, trying to process what she'd heard. "What?"

"Hey, Ah don't know what exactly it is either. It's weird as hell, that's for sure."

"But…he can't be a cyborg," Kitty said, scratching her head. "Like, he swims, he eats, he gets tired and he sweats."

"Oh he's human, alright. In and out." Anna's cheeks flushed a faint red as she spoke. "But he can make himself a robot now. Ah saw him turn his hand into a cannon, gears and all, and turn it back to normal."

This really wasn't what she'd been expecting to hear this morning. "That doesn't make any sense."

Anna shrugged. "That's what Ah said too, but it's what it is. Hank's best guess right now is it's because of his eyes. You wouldn't really understand unless you had yourself a gander at it."

"Wait, so who's going to be training with him?"

"Laura," Anna said. "When she's not available, Logan. And when he's not around, Hank. Apparently, Laura's the one who suggested it in the first place after he took off her torso by accident—seems she's taken a shine to him."

Kitty winced, already feeling sorry for the blond; Laura was a slave driver when it came to training people she took an interest in, Logan just liked tormenting people and Hank would work him to the bone if it meant satisfying his 'scientific curiosity.' Of all the people in the institute who could help, he'd gotten three of the worst ones. "That's…not good for him."

"Ah wish it could be different but at least they know what they're doing," Anna agreed with her. "

"That's true," Kitty still found it hard to believe. Mutants aside, people didn't just…mechanise themselves. It was one or the other. A person didn't just choose to become whichever one he liked at will. Sure, one could bring up animal shapeshifting but that was different. No wonder it had peaked Laura's interest.

"Hell of a boyfriend you have," she murmured. "Nice, pretty loyal and a bag of tricks. You lucked out with him; I'm sure someone else would have snatched him up if you hadn't." Like me.

Anna smiled smugly. "Ah did, didn't Ah?"

"Hm."

"Hey, it ain't like you two aren't close," Anna said, having picked up the envy in her voice. "Ah'm curious though. How far have you two gone with the whole touching stuff."

Kitty narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "He hasn't done anything more than what you let him, if that's what you're asking."

"Come now, don't be shy," Anna persuaded. "Ah'm not mad, Ah just want to know."

"We really haven't done anything," Kitty retorted hotly. It was getting hard to keep her voice down. "I want him to, but he doesn't want to do anything you don't want him doing."

Anna hummed. "And what do you want him to do?"

"More," Kitty stressed. "I'm sick of holding hands and hugging him, I want to do something else. Kiss him, let him touch my breasts-"

"Have sex with him?"

"Yea-wait, what?!" Kitty's outburst earned the duo the attention of the entire class. When did Hank come in? She let out a frantic apology and after a warning from the blue mutant, everyone turned away from them. She glared at an amused looking Anna who quietly watched her. "Like, what the hell, Anna?"

"You already said yes," Anna snickered. "You wanna fuck my boyfriend."

"Weren't you mad about me walking in on you guys a few days ago?" Kitty asked incredulously. "Who's happy with something like this?"

"Don't get me wrong. Ah'm not exactly happy about it, Ah just think you need it as much as Ah do."

Kitty stared at the girl for several seconds, expecting her to break out into a smile. Nothing. "Oh my God, you're serious about this."

Anna's brows furrowed. "Why would Ah joke about it?"

It felt like the tame beginning of a fever dream. Anna was giving her permission to sleep with Naruto, her boyfriend. And if she was telling her, there was a good chance Naruto would have been told the same thing. The next time they'd meet, it'd be with the knowledge that the only thing keeping them from tearing each other's clothes off was their own inhibitions. The…looseness of the whole situation felt wrong, so wrong, yet the thought of finally being with the blond, even if only carnally, made her feel giddy. She blamed it on his powers.

"I…I'll need some time to think this through," she lied. It was probably best not to sound eager.

Anna shrugged with a smile that said she wasn't fooled by the charade. "Take your time, you're the one who needs this after all."

And just like that, Kitty's morning had been thrown out of funk, exactly like her night had been.

…

Naruto cracked open the can of energy drink, emptied it in three deep gulps and tossed it into the bin with a relieved sigh. Beside him, Kitty paused from sucking up boba balls to giggle at him. They sat on the ground of the danger room that had changed to a premises neither of them recognized while they watched Laura mutilate and viciously murder a legion of armed men sporting a company logo they didn't recognize either.

"Someone's really thirsty," she commented jovially.

"You have no idea, Kitty. I've been in simulation after simulation since nine in the morning. Laura only gives me ten, twenty minutes max to rest before I continue. It's torture." As if on cue, Laura's head snapped towards him. "Not literally. You're a good teacher, you're doing great!"

The clone merely snorted before returning to the slaughter.

"You know when you're not on the receiving end, it's pretty cool to watch her fight," Naruto remarked. He could swear Laura had smirked. Her hearing, as well as her smell, freaked him out a lot.

"I know, people usually gather to watch her in action," Kitty agreed, gesturing towards the spectators above. The ones who weren't staring at the clawed mutant in action were looking at them, wondering why they were let into the section most weren't.

"It's hardly a surprise; she's got a problem with restraint but shit if she doesn't know what she's doing," Naruto grunted. "It only came yesterday but I'm already getting a hang of the morphing stuff."

He stretched a hand out and Kitty watched as in the span of less than a second, lines appeared on his hand before flesh split to give way for dark metal underneath. His now flat fingers meshed together and sunk into his wrist which, along with his arm up to the elbow, expanded until she was staring at a hand cannon that was obviously ready to fire if the blue glow emanating from the barrel was any indicator.

"Wow," Kitty whispered. It was just as Anna had said—seeing it was so different from the image she'd had in her head. "Can…can I touch it?"

Naruto nodded and she gently placed her hand on the arm turned weapon. It was smooth, inexplicably hard and lightly vibrated with unspent energy. Even the tan skin was just as hard as the dark material underneath. If she hadn't seen him bleed from his arms multiple times, she wouldn't have believed it wasn't a weaponized prosthetic.

"How's this possible?" She couldn't help asking. "I didn't even think something like this could ever show up in a person."

Naruto shrugged. "I don't know either, but I'm not complaining: it's pretty nifty in a fight and that's not even all I can do…but I'm not good at the other transformations yet and I'd rather not kill you by accident, haha!"

Kitty raised a brow. "Kill me?"

"A sort of saw blade sprouted from my back once," Naruto explained. "I ran Laura through with it by accident. Yesterday I stabbed her in the neck with a sword. One time I shot my fingers like rockets and an hour ago, I decapitated her when my arm detached from my elbow."

Immortals really made for a good training partner. Laura hadn't even been annoyed by any of the multiple accidents they'd had.

Kitty immediately shuffled away, putting several inches between herself and him. "I think you should, like, turn your arm back to normal now."

Naruto snorted, but complied and she watched, fascinated, as his arm shrunk and shifted back into place until there was a perfectly human limb where a high-capacity firearm had once been. "I don't think I can ever get used to that."

"It feels weird for me too," he agreed before something came to mind. "How'd you know I was in the danger room anyway? How'd you even find out I'd gotten new powers?"

"You didn't think to ask when I first came in?"

"I was too happy to see you." He picked out another can. "Especially since you showed up with liquid lifesaver."

"O-oh." Kitty felt her face burning. "Well, uh…Anna told me about the separate sessions you started and I figured I'd come check up on you."

"Really now? Gee, thanks a lot," he said, smiling as he opened up the can.

"Yeah." She paused, as if contemplating what to say next. "She also told me about…us."

Naruto froze. Kitty didn't have to expand any further, he already knew what she was talking about. He had found it strange how Anna had sent him a picture of her wearing a buttplug with a caption telling him to do whatever he wanted with Kitty so long as he remembered she was number one, but he understood now. If that wasn't permission to go as far as he wanted, he didn't know what was.

"So, uh." He cleared his throat nervously. "She said we could…"

Kitty nodded slowly. "I know it might be strange to you, but-"

"No, no, I just…" he trailed off. "Truth be told, I want to do other stuff with you, it's just…we're not dating, you know? I didn't want to mess up what we have and what I have with Anna and-"

"I know, I want it too," Kitty said, cutting him off too. "Like, really, really bad."

"Oh." Naruto tried to think of what to say. He knew going a month without making more than basic contact would have taken its toll on her, according to Anna, but he hadn't imagined it'd be to this extent. "So, you want to meet up tonight? My room?"

Kitty nodded excitedly. "Are you kidding? I can't wait!"

"Well, you'll have to because I'm not getting out of here till evening," he joked.

"I can wait," she shrugged. He nodded and promptly excused himself to rejoin Laura who'd been staring at them impatiently, having completed and restarted the simulation.

She had no problems waiting. So long as it meant she got to have Naruto today, she'd wait till night if she had to.

…

Kitty was an odd person, Naruto decided. One moment she was awkward about having sex with him and the next she was throwing herself at him, eager to begin. He'd been expecting to start off slowly with her but she'd taken matters into her own hands and forced him into a surprise kiss just as he got into his room and despite his surprise, he found himself kissing back and it wasn't long before they'd both shed their clothes, leaving them as naked as they'd been when birthed.

She was inside, just as she was outside. Her tongue felt small, thin, delicate against his and the effects of the multiple snacks she'd downed lingered in her mouth, scenting her breath and flavouring the enamelled cavern he explored with a lustful vigour. He drew her closer, his arm wrapping completely around her back, and all but lifted her as he kicked his door shut. Her breasts squished pleasantly against his chest and she moaned into his mouth.

He wasn't sure whether it was a side effect of his ability influencing him or feelings he wasn't aware he had, but kissing Kitty felt just as intense as when he did it with Anna. They felt so similar, yet so different. Anna was his equal. She took everything he had to give and gave back in equal proportion. He never felt as…free, as unrestrained as he did while with her. While inside her.

But Kitty, on the hand, was less so. She was too delicate. He held her too easily. Everything about her felt fragile, like she'd break if he treated her too harshly. She was a doll, a doll he couldn't fully play with, but didn't want to let go of either. He wanted to keep her. To hold and feel her against him.

And he did. Ethereal chains slowly emerged from his back and entangled the girl who meeped, flustered as she felt herself getting bound until she was pulled away from Naruto and suspended in place above his bed. He'd gotten a lot stronger than she expected; just a month ago, he could barely hold up her weight for more than a few seconds.

But as impressed as she was, she wasn't distracted from the sensation of not-metal-yet-metal still wrapping around her, the chains parting her arms and spreading her legs as they looped and tied around her form, forming an intricate knot with her at the centre. They wrapped around her breasts, grazing her nipples with a hot-cold touch that made her shudder and her hairs stand on end. She felt them cradle her crotch, rubbing her labia and on one occasion, actively slide in between them.

By the time they stopped moving, she had been bound tightly enough to prevent any method of escape without being especially painful. Her face turned beet red from recognition of the method she'd been tied in. It was a widely inaccurate, but still effective imitation of a technique she'd seen in an adult video.

He wasn't kidding when he said he'd look into bondage for me. The thought of him having bothered to actually prepare for her even without a guarantee of anything happening between them made her heart race.

"Naruto.." She squirmed against her bindings so they rubbed her bare skin, a reminder of her situation. To be completely incapacitated to the point of being unable to even use her mutation. Never had she really been rendered at someone else's mercy like she was now. She was completely helpless. And yet, she'd never felt so good.

"You're so soft" Naruto ran his hands on her skin, his warm fingers tracing a path from her dainty neck to her pale collarbone, to finally rest atop her breasts. His touch made Kitty shiver pleasurably. "I could just touch you forever."

"You can," she breathed out. Naruto glanced up at her, his expression inscrutable and she squeaked as a chain coiled around her neck and squeezed. "Please…"

"If anyone saw you now, they'd think you were suffering," Naruto sneered and clamped his fingers onto her now stiff nipples. "But no, you're enjoying this." He squeezed hard, earning a pathetic squeal from the girl who bit her lip hard.

Ohh, that hurts so good. Kitty fought to keep her eyes from rolling back as the pain from her abused nipples shot through her body and crossed over the line to pleasure as it reached her nether regions.

"To think you look so innocent on the outside," Naruto complained heatedly, giving her reddened tits a rough twist. "You go around with that ditzy smile and cute makeup like you don't know anything. You're a pretender!"

Kitty jolted as she felt the sharp bite of a chain's lash on her ass and moaned out loud. Naruto growled and another lash landed on her behind, imprinting a thick red line above the first before another struck her again. The strikes were delightfully heavy and the warmth of the pain made her sex weep in tandem with her eyes.

He continued to abuse her, rough handling her breasts and scourging her rump as he berated her for what she was. The next several minutes for her were spent blurring the line between pain and pleasure as mixed signals chorused through her body. Endorphin and dopamine clashed with each lash she received. For every pained jolt she made, a pleasured scream followed. Her body writhed and trembled, desperate to escape the torment it was being forced to endure, but her mind soaked it all up happily.

"Look at you, you're all wet," Naruto glared at her disgustedly, having cupped her pussy with a hand. "You're in pain and you're still soaking up my bed, you fucking freak!"

"I'm a freeeak~" Kitty groaned out, feeling the chain around her neck tighten nicely . "I'm your little freak."

"You're so small, so freaking delicate and yet you want to be abused," he shook his head and stuck a finger into her, earning a shocked cry from the girl. "You're trying to bite off more than you can chew, you slut."

Kitty's suspended body twisted as the blond frigged her, his hooked fingers quickly finding her g-spot and rubbing the overly sensitive flesh roughly. Her legs sought to clamp shut, but the chains keeping them in place refused to budge. "Oh, Naruto…I can't~please-"

"You don't get to ask for anything," Naruto snapped. She half expected the chain around her neck to tighten further, but disappointingly, it didn't. "It doesn't matter what you like, what you think or what you want, I'm the one in charge here."

"And that means with you," He sped up his pace until his fingers all but blurred in and out of her, the thoroughly lubricated protrusions massaging her walls with a dexterity betraying the frantic carelessness he thrust into her with. Oh God, she was going to cum! "I can do whatever the fuck I want."

The swelling orgasm Kitty had been so eagerly waiting to wash over her quickly crashed as Naruto abruptly pulled his fingers out of her. Her throbbing pussy ached and she felt a genuinely unpleasant shudder tear through her, as though her entire body was displeased at being denied an orgasm. She barely got to regain her bearings before she was flipped upside down until she was facing downward at Naruto's damp sheets.

"You really thought I'd let you cum?" Naruto laughed mockingly. "So you can ruin my bed even more? I don't think so."

The whine that would have escaped her got cut off as she was lowered to face his erect dick pointing directly at her. The slit stared directly at her and the strong odour of a day's worth of sweat and an organ kept concealed for hours made her head swim. She hadn't seen his full length while he'd been inside Anna but up close, he was bigger than she'd imagined. Lance had an inch or two over him, but he more than compensated with girth. Would it even fit in her?

Naruto didn't give her a chance to think it over before thrusting forward, his tip poking its way between her lips. "Open up, Kitty. You please me well enough and maybe I'll let you get off."

Kitty slowly opened her mouth, only to gag loudly as he thrust forward, his engorged prick driving between her teeth and forcing its way to the back of her mouth. Without warning, Naruto began to fuck her mouth with careless abandon.

"For someone so small," Naruto grunted as he pounded the entrance of her throat, "you sure as hell know how to take a lot of punishment…fuck, your mouth feels so good. Lick my dick, bitch. Lick it good and I'll give you a real treat."

Even if Kitty hadn't wanted to, she didn't have much of a choice. Her tongue writhed around in search of space, inadvertently smearing the jackhammering intruder in thick, warm saliva and he refused to give her a moment of respite as he used her mouth as a fleshlight. It was only the experience she'd had from having been dangled upside down on multiple occasions that kept her from passing out.

Her salivary glands worked overtime to lubricate what her body had recognized as a choking hazard and the spit that filled her mouth dribbed out between her parted lips down onto her face. His balls slapped her nose, giving a whiff of its heady odour each time, and splattered spittle all over her face. The combination of his roughing her up and blood rushing to her head from being upside down made her feel lightheaded. To be used so inconsiderately made her feel like an inanimate object existing for the sole purpose of self-pleasure…and she was loving every second of it. So much that although the only stimuli her pussy received were from the shifting chains that had formed a harness around her crotch, she could already feel her orgasm approaching again.

And just like before, Naruto stopped suddenly, withdrawing his cock from her mouth and flipping her back upright. Kitty didn't bother to fight the wave of dizziness that took her due to the excess blood fleeing from her but managed to remain lucid enough to notice that she'd been suspended horizontally once more. And Naruto was between her legs again, this time with his cock positioned above her mons pubis. He drew back to rub her labia and she shivered from her own drool being smeared on her lower lips.

Was this it? Was he finally going to fuck her? She looked up at the blond hopefully and got a wicked grin in return. "You're going to fuck me now?"

"Hmm," Naruto hummed in mock contemplation. "I'm not sure I want to right now."

"What? No!" She hissed in part pain, part pleasure as a chain struck her on the chest, creating a deep red welt across her areolae.

"You don't tell me what to do," Naruto reprimanded her irritably. "You're my toy. Toys don't talk, do they?"

Kitty stayed silent. Naruto smiled at her. "Good." Without further ceremony, he pushed forward, sheathing himself in her in one go. The surprise intrusion was more than enough to push Kitty over the edge and with a loud squeal, she came violently on the weighty rod that had been ravaging her mouth only moments ago. Naruto watched with wide eyes as the petite mutant struggled against the bindings as she continued to orgasm, her absurdly tight pussy clenching around his cock while it bathed the length buried in it, as well as the entirety of his groin, in orgasmic discharge that all but erupted from her. He knew he'd been edging her for a long time, but he hadn't thought she would have an orgasm as intense as the one she was currently going through. He knew it was out of character for a supposed sadist, but he patiently waited for her spasms to ebb while he luxuriated in the feel of her pussy. For a girl who wasn't a virgin, she was even tighter than Anna had been during their first time.

When he saw her breaths finally becoming more controlled, he willed a chain to strike her across the back hard, immediately snapping her back to reality. Appearances had to be kept after all. Not because he was beginning to enjoy hurting her a little. Not at all.

"I didn't give you permission to cum," he spoke slowly, hoping his voice sounded as menacing as it did in his ears.

"I…sorry-ah!" Kitty gasped as she received another lash on her back as opposed to her ass.

"No. Talking." He huffed. "I'll forgive you this once. This is your second chance, toy—there won't be a third." And with that, he began to fuck her.

Even without it's orgasm induced contractions, her pussy was still tight enough that moving would have been a challenge were it not for the slipperiness of her walls coupled with the saliva greasing the entirety of his dick and it didn't take much boring to reach the end of her tunnel. She really was small everywhere. It almost felt like sticking his dick in an undersized fleshlight but hell if it didn't feel good. He fucked her slowly, both to try and let her get used to his girth while prolonging his own orgasm, and to properly enjoy the sound her plugged hole emitted each time he pushed into her as well as the soft moans escaping her. Even as she stared at him with lust-filled eyes, the expectant look on her face hadn't faded.

Now that he remembered it, he wasn't supposed to be gentle. People didn't take it slow with their sex toys in some hairbrained attempt to let it 'adapt' to them.

"Comfy?" he asked mockingly. She nodded slowly, her lust filled eyes having never left him. She had to be doing it on purpose, the masochist. "Good."

He ramped up his pace, thrusting into the petite with the urgent vigour of a sex-crazed man getting his money's worth from a hooker. Kitty's flushed face turned a darker red and strangled groans and whines escaped her as the chains binding her from ankles to neck tightened in response to Naruto's tense muscles. His chains now whipped her randomly, flagellating whatever patch of flesh they came in contact with. Breasts, thighs, belly and back. No part of her was spared from the constructs' wrath save for her waists which Naruto held onto tightly as he reamed her with wild abandon. Her thoughts were a cacophony of anguish and ecstasy, the pain she felt from the punishment she endured either being buried under her own mind's misinterpretation of the signals encumbering it or washed away by the waves of pleasure crashing into her each time Naruto's cock scraped her walls and battered away at her cervix.

And at the centre of it all was Naruto, the source of it all. The source of her torment and her relief at the same time. He debased her with his words but flattered her with his actions. She wanted to touch him. She wanted to wrap her legs around him and pull him closer to her and deeper in her. She wanted to hug him, to feel his sweat sting the smarting stripes he'd given her and lay his frame on her body so she could feel his muscles shift as he reamed her needy cunt. She wanted to gaze into his eyes, those mesmerising purple orbs burning with desire for her, and see his face twist with pleasure as he savoured everything her body had to offer. She wanted to kiss him, to give him a taste of her desire for him. To thank him for making her fantasies not only come true, but exceed what she'd been able to imagine.

But she couldn't do any of what she wanted. Even if she hadn't been bound so tightly it was impossible to move her limbs, she wouldn't have done any. It wasn't her place to decide what to do, it was Naruto's. He would touch whatever he wanted, kiss her if he wanted. Because he was her master, no, her owner. And she was his. They could speak as equals in class, spar together in training him or sit side by side but in the room, she was his to do as he pleased. Just as he was doing now.

He flipped her over and she was introduced to an entirely new world of wonderful discomfort. Her binds doubled in tightness and it became hard to breathe but if Naruto was aware of her condition, he either didn't notice or didn't care. Instead he continued to ram into her, his cock rubbing places Lance's hadn't managed to and sending jolts of pleasure lancing up her body. He'd completely forgone flagellating her in favour of focusing his efforts on reshaping her inner walls in the shape of his penis, an effort that saw him pounding her with significantly more force than he had before. The squeal that attempted to escape her when he pulled her ponytail failed, courtesy of the chain that tightened even further with him pulling her head back. His free hand shifted to grab onto a part of her scourged waist and when his fingers dug into the flesh, she felt warm liquid trickle down her skin.

The intoxicating blend of pain and pleasure shooting through her was amplified by the asphyxiation, such that even as her vision blurred and the loud clap of their flesh meeting dulled further, she could still feel her orgasm fast approaching. The panic she felt from knowing she'd be disobeying him was heavily diluted by the mix of sensations scrambling her mind. God, he felt so mind-numbingly good in her! It was too hard to hold on…she couldn't…

…

Naruto paused when Kitty suddenly went limp and turned her around to see she'd gone purple. "Shit!" In the blink of an eye, his chains dissipated and the unconscious mutant flopped bonelessly onto the bed he'd scrambled on to check her vitals while trying not to freak out.

"Please still be alive, please still be alive, please still be alive," he prayed as he placed two fingers on her carotid artery. Her relatively slow pulse told him she'd just passed out from strangulation but the dopey smile that lingered on her face was evident that she hadn't disliked it. "This S and M stuff goes really deep—who the fuck enjoys getting strangled?"

"Ah had a feeling it went deeper than we thought." Naruto jumped and turned around at breakneck speed to see an amused Anna sitting on his chair just as naked as him. "Logan was right, your awareness does need work." She glanced at Kitty's unconscious form or more specifically, the slowly narrowing hole that was her pussy. "But Ah can't blame you."

"You've been here the whole time?" he asked incredulously. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Ah didn't want to ruin the mood," Anna replied with a shrug. "Besides, it's not like Ah could have joined you. If accidentally strangling her unconscious is a mood killer, imagine what happens if she dropped dead instead because Ah couldn't keep mah hands to mahself."

"Oh, that's true." Naruto scratched his head and looked down at his boner. "I didn't even get to cum once."

"Oh, Ah've got a solution for that, Sugah," Anna purred as she approached him. "A hot, tight position."

Naruto chuckled as she got into his arms, mindful to avoid getting near Kitty. "Looking to get off right now? You're insatiable, Miss Marie."

Anna, who'd already begun pumping his cock, said, "Ah was thinking of plan b this time, Sugah. And by b, Ah mean the backdoor." She punctuated her statement by taking one of Naruto's hands and placing it on her ass.

Naruto's eyes widened. "Wait, you don't mean…"

"You didn't think Ah stuck a plug in mah ass just for fun, did you?" she asked with a lewd grin and turned around, dropping her head onto the mattress and spreading her ass with both hands to reveal the puckered entrance. "Come on in, love. Ah got it all cleaned out and lubed up just for you."

Anna…I think I love you.

…

The rest of the night had been extremely awkward, at least for Kitty who realised she'd passed out without even getting Naruto off and had woken up just in time to see him sodomising Anna. However, she still had several more in her and Naruto had ended up having to service both girls separately till the wee hours of the morning at which point they all turned in for the night.

As a consequence, Naruto's performance in the danger room had been affected negatively, much to Laura's displeasure and by the time afternoon struck, he fled to avoid the inevitable confrontation with her.

Which led to him lounging at a secluded spot in the library with a book on binding techniques for company; Kitty had claimed his bindings hadn't been completely accurate and implored him to try improving, not that she'd needed to tell him. He'd come to find that he somewhat enjoyed bondage play or rather, being the one doing the binding.

"Naruto."

Ahhhhh shit! Naruto slammed the book shut and his face snapped up to a frowning Laura who eyed the book in his hands. "It's not what you think, Hank said I had to learn how to use my chains and-"

"It's for Kitty, isn't it?"

I know she's blunt, but wow. While he was once again impressed by how direct the clone was, he was more concerned by her question. "What do you mean?"

Laura's frown deepened. "Stop acting dumb, I know you and her are fucking."

Naruto's eyes narrowed at her. "And what makes you think that? I've got a girlfriend, remember?"

"I know, Anna was there too," Laura said. "I could smell you three in the same room and that…weird smell so I got curious and went to your room. I saw you three having sex."

Naruto stared at her speechlessly, stuck on what to say. "You…ho-who the hell sneaks to someone's room just because they were curious? Why did you even think to investigate? Privacy, Laura. Ever heard of it?"

The girl folded her arms stubbornly. "I've smelt it before in other places outside of the institute." Her eyes narrowed. "Bad places."

Trauma. Of course it was because of trauma. Why were so many of the things she did influenced by trauma?

He sighed. There wasn't really any use denying it—she'd caught them red handed. "So what now? Are you going to report us?"

Laura stayed silent for a few seconds as she made one of those faces Naruto had come to associate with her having difficulty expressing her thoughts. "Anna and Kitty like you. And they looked like they liked having sex with you. I…" she paused. "I like you too."

Naruto frowned. "And I like you too? What's the point of this?"

Laura sucked in a deep breath and exhaled. "I'm saying, I want in."

What?

See y'all in the next one. I'm going to
