For some of my stories I have two or more pictures. Because of the way this site works I can usually only have one picture as a cover story, but to check out the multiple images you can find me on deviantart or on pa...tre...on where the images are mixed in with the stories. Also the pa...tre...on versions will usually be the most polished and up to date versions of the chapters that I combed over when uploading them to the site.
This is probably the most edited and heavily changed version so far of the chapters as I update and streamline things.

For some strange reason it hardly rained at Academia. Maybe be the location was set in a geographical location that ensured many hot sunny days like in Los Angeles, California. Nothing was going to ruin Naruto's day today. He was going out with one of the academy's most attractive girls. Not only that but she was intelligent to boot.
Ah yes, the jealous glares from the haters from Osiris Red to Obelisk. Like it was his fault those idiots couldn't keep their eyes off her chest for more then seconds or tried to aggressively pursue her when she obviously didn't show interest. Thankfully enough when not attending classes the students could wear casual clothing during the times they had days off.
Naruto wore a white T-shirt and and Black Shinobi slacks with a pair of Tennishoes. While Naruto didn't have the tall basketball player frame he always did retain his abs and muscle ratio proportionate to his size. After ducking and dodging some fan girls Naruto waited patiently for Asuka to arrive.
Right on time she appeared and was looking slamming. She was wearing a light blue t-shirt, not to loose but tight enough to flaunt her figure a bit and a white knee length Miniskirt. he was wearing the shoes of her school uniform.
A light blue covered their cheeks as they were both a bit awestruck at how attractive the other person looked when they weren't in uniform. It gave a sense of perspective and individuality. Naruto was the first to speak,''I had all sorts of ice related puns for when you were going to show up Asuka-san, but seeing you dressed like that is leaving me a bit heated.'' The blond said with an exaggerated tug at his collar and exhale of air.
A smirk merely graced Asuka's lips. ''You're not so bad looking yourself Naruto. If I were the kind of girl who enjoyed a casual encounter I'd drag you out back and take my time,'' She replied quite cheekily.
'WHOA!' That moment then and there had left Naruto stunned. ''What happened to the so called Ice Queen?''
''I'm a still a teenage girl. All because I don't show much interest in dating or the opposite sex doesn't mean I'm oblivious. In fact since I've always hung back and observed I've witness the many situations that can occur and types of couples to get a pretty good grasp. So I guess we should begin our date now?'' The just moment ago cheeky girl was back to her normal self.
''Right, I have our entire day planned out. A nice leisurely stroll is the first thing on today's agenda.''
''That sounds pretty good...'' Asuka replied as Naruto led her down the path. They soon started walking through a trail that looked freshly made through the forest.
''I'm hoping we can learn more about each other Asuka-san. I think we know more about each other's decks then what we know about each other. Personal or otherwise really.''
''Well what is it you're curious to know?'' She asked as they trekked uphill.
''Just all the little things that make Asuka-san, Asuka-san really. For instance my favorite color was orange growing up before I had some sense knocked into me. Now more or less it's because Red or Crimson as the symbolization of Crimson has always been in my family.''
''That's interesting...to be honest my favorite color is red too,'' She answered as they entered a clearing.
''Oh? And may I ask why?'' Naruto inquired as they walked along a stream.
''Because Red symbolizes Action, Courage, and Confidence.''
''Because it's your dream to become a great duelist and you were confident enough to join the academy. You being in Blue proves just that.''
''Being in blue can't mean all that much. You've beat me twice and your in Red.''
Naruto turned with a grin and cheekily replied, ''...well I'm just that good of course.''
''Don't let it go to your head Naruto-san. I won't rest until I beat you someday. You can count on it.''
''I'd expect nothing less. You know when I see you I see more then just red.'' He replied as they continued down the clearing.
''Oh?''
''I see...some pink in you. That calm head of yours and willingness to neutralize this order...and of course your beauty.''
''Yeah...you and everyone else,'' She said in annoyance.
''I don't blame you for the annoyance of people trying to latch unto you because of your looks. When I'm around you I also feel some brown. ''
''Brown?'' She parroted in surprise. ''I'm not exactly hard to miss.''
''You might not blend in but you are a stable person and quite wholesome too. There's also a bit yellow from your sharp intellect and green for striving a person growth. Not to mention a bit of Violet, and Indigo. Though I couldn't help but notice when you put up those walls are yours I see a bit gray. Here we are...''
Asuka was pleasantly surprise to see a blanket set out with several picnic baskets. ''I figured a little lunch was in order.''
''You really are a surprising guy Uzumaki Naruto...''
''Yeah, I had the label of surprising ever since I was young. I brought a variety to select from so feel free to choose,'' He said as they walked over to the blanket and sat down. From the spot they were by a cliff side and had an amazing view of the ocean.
''You must have had this planned for weeks,'' She said looking at the selection of sandwiches. She took a whiff of one. ''Is that Roast Beef?''
''Indeed...I have a variety of sandwiches. From Bacon Blue Burger, Tuna and Smoked Salmon Sando, and Maisen Tonkatsu on Tonkatsu-sauce sodden crust less white bread to more American treats such as Ham and Cheese and Peanut Butter and Jelly.''
''How on earth did you do all this?''
Naruto wagged a finger to side to side. ''Sec-ret!'' He chimed as Asuka couldn't help but smile a small smile. The smile was natural and full of mirth. It looked nice, no it looked beautiful on her. Asuka always seemed so in control and serious, so cold. But her real beauty shined through when she let the walls go and act like the young woman who she really was and enjoying life.
''Why is it when one question is answered three new ones pop up?''
''To be honest even I don't know who I am half the time. My life has been started over or redone so many times those who have observed me don't even know where to begin.''
Asuka then looked at him, confused at this admission. ''Life started over? What do you mean? Even more secrets? Naruto...what am I too you?''
''What?'' He replied, startled by her question.
''There's all these things about you and you don't tell anyone anything. How am I suppose to trust you when every time I get close you throw a curve ball? Why are we here? The two of us now if this isn't the closet we can get before I get too close and you end up pushing me away?''
''Asuka...there is no Uzumaki Naruto...Sr or Jr.'' He answered as he held out his hand. ''Rasengan...'' He whispered as the Spiraling Sphere came to life. Asuka was left speechless at what she saw. ''I'm going to tell you a truth that most don't know or ever get the privilege the here. I am the reincarnation of a demigod, the original Uzumaki Naruto. I was essentially reborn into this world until my latent power and potential developed. The one who recruited me essentially sent me here to test me against some of the evils of this world to accelerate that growth.''
Silence filled the clearing for over half an hour. Naruto waited as Asuka absorbed in everything she heard. She wanted to refute what she heard. Call Naruto crazy but what rational way could explain how Naruto was able to do the things he did. Know the things he did. She looked into his eyes, those cerulean blue eyes and could only see sincerity in them.
"Whoa." Asuka muttered.
''It's a lot to take in yeah. A lot of people would throw a shit fit if I told them half of what I told you." As he continued to elaborate more on what his purpose was Asuka sat in silence. Trying to wrap her head around everything she was learning. Things were quite for a bit as they ate there food.
As Naruto observed her he could tell that the revelation was weighing heavily on her mind and this wasn't something he wanted to impose on a friend. "I'll leave you to your life then.. I won't blame you if you decide to keep your distance. I'll see you around Asukla-san!'' Naruto stood up to leave. He didn't need or want someone he was trying to connect to look down on him.
Asuka sat there frozen and dumb founded. 'Don't go!' That retreating figure. She didn't want to loose another person she cared about. Just when she was started to feel again.
Her body had moved on it's own.
''I'll leave you to your life then...goodbye Asuka!''
Those were the same words her brother spoke before he disappeared. It was a stupid argument really. Fubuki was just being Fubuki. Trying to get her evolved in one of his hair brained idea. She was having another difficult day of being the daughter of the 'White Queen' tired of being expected to follow in her mother's foot steps. She just wanted to be herself and was tired of people pushing her to be something. It wasn't a finality good bye despite the way Fubuki phrased. He wasn't suppose to go. He was supposed to disappear from her life.
To be her person she had to be a strong-willed girl. Something she prided herself on despite pressures from her parents to be something she was not. She was from the elite Tenjouin family. Known for their aristocrat status and beauty. For generations her family had been involved for Government, a High class family that was involved in history. One of the families whose money founded cities in the Japan, the U.S.A. and other small towns in Europe, Italy and even in France.
She worked to be an inspiration to others that she was more then just a carbon copy of her mother's beauty. Her passion, dueling, was something of strategy and required both mind and heart. She wanted people to look at her as something other then the next White Queen. She was a young girl, teenager even if her mask was older and serious. She didn't have time to love when her passion required her dedication. Her mother had married young, but she was not her mother no matter how often the comparison was brought up.
So behind the cold exterior of the Ice Queen she hid her emotions to herself.
And suddenly something warm, wet drifted from the corner of her eyes. Something she swore she would never allowed to happen. No weakness! No matter what! If she failed she would try harder! Though watching him go tugged at that last resistance. He wasn't her parents. He wasn't her fanboys or girls, people who only see the Queen of Obelisk of Blue. To him she was just Asuka.
'Don't go!'' It was quite shaky. ''Don't go!'' She threw her arms around Naruto holding him in place. She shut her eyes firmly and didn't want to let go. Burying her face into his back not caring that she was crying full blown tears. ''Don't go!'' Was all she could say.
''Asuka...I won't leave you,'' He said as her gripped loosened. He turned around and pulled her into a reassuring hug. ''I won't leave...'' He whispered as he held her tight.
