Chapter 3- Run, Naruto, Run

"Naruto!" A voice answered him as Naruto opened his eyes. He saw a familiar pink-haired girl right in front of him, and he gained a look of shock. "You were thinking the same thing~ That's perfect! Alright then, let's get married!" Lala said in excitement, as she wrapped his neck in a warm hug, pushing her bust into him.

Suddenly, Haruna walked onto the scene, seeing the blonde with the same girl she had seen him with the night prior."Um… who's the girl hugging Naruto?" the blue-haired girl asked.

Rito grew equally shocked. "You know, I have no idea… And did she just say they were getting married?!"

The blonde's mind was frozen, so his response was a single word.

"Huh?" Naruto could only ask.

He supposed he was right in saying his life would only get crazier.

After that, what was soon to follow was Haruna taking her leave, giving a short congratulations, and leaving Rito without any time to confess his feelings of love to her. Naruto, on the other hand, was completely flabbergasted at what had transpired as he walked to school again.

Lala, who was hanging on his arm, sang a merry tune as she walked with the two of them linked together. Rito was surprised as well, wondering who this pink-haired girl was that his brother figure seemed to be familiar with.

That seemed to be the question on everyone's minds as they entered the school grounds.

"What is that?" "What a crazy outfit…" "Is she wearing a cosplay?" "Isn't she really pretty?"

Those were the chants that the students gave as they walked into the school and through the halls. The males were completely awed by her beauty, as hearts were in their eyes, while a few of the females looked slightly envious as they noticed her beautiful appearance. All of them wondered who exactly she was.

Of course, that was, until they noticed Naruto's presence next to her as well:

"Wait? Isn't that Uzumaki-san in her arms?" "Do you think they are dating?" "Obviously not, I bet Uzumaki is blackmailing her to show up with him!" "Yeah, that must be it! Uzumaki can't have such a beautiful girl after him otherwise!"

Naruto ignored all of these, as a single thought was running through his mind: what the fuck was happening! He screamed in his head.

First, he had met this girl, and she had told him she was an alien and she was being chased by a couple of men who were after her. Those men turned out to be her bodyguards, people employed by her father to look after her. As it turned out, the only reason they had been chasing her was because she was trying to run away from her home. He helped her get away from them, and she flew away.

He thought he would never see her again. Only for her to show up, right when he was teaching Rito how to confess, and she said she wanted to marry him.

Now, he had heard of love at first sight, but never marriage. That was just insane.

Yet here she was, holding onto his arm, as he could do nothing to stop it, just trying to comprehend the situation he was in amidst the numerous onlookers as he tried to get to class, Rito walking steadily behind him.

"Yo! Naruto, what's going on?!" Saruyama yelled, ever the loud one when it came to matters of pretty girls, walked up to them.

"That's something we also would like to know too," Sakura and Sasuke were soon to follow.

As Sasuke gave his standard catchphrase, "Hn."

Lala looked at them, "Oh? Are you three Naruto's friends? How wonderful!" She said happily, still riding the high of Naruto 'confessing' his feelings for her.

"Uhhh… Yeah, we are, my name is Sakura Haruno, and this right here is my boyfriend, that's Sasuke Uchiha, and that right there is Saruyama Kenichi," Sakura introduced hesitantly, not expecting such cheerfulness from the mysterious girl.

"Isn't that great, and might I say, you are absolutely beautiful!" Lala stated, referring to Sakura.

"Umm, thank you. I think you look pretty beautiful as well," Sakura blinked, not expecting the compliment, as she was happy to give one of her own.

Naruto and Sasuke sweatdropped a little at the two, noticing the fact that they both had similar color schemes. Honestly, the two could be sisters with how they both had pink hair and green eyes. The only difference was Lala's devilukian tail, but if you could ignore that fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say they were related.

"Yeah, never mind that! Naruto, who the hell is this girl beside you!" Saruyama yelled, getting straight to the point.

As Naruto rubbed his head, obviously he couldn't tell them that she was an alien; as such, he could only say: "It's… complicated."

Lala laughed, getting even closer to him as she pressed her bust into Naruto's arm, "That's easy… I'm Naruto's bride!" she chirped happily, stunning everyone.

"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" Was the collective outcry, as many of the people there could only stand in shock at the beautiful girl's statement.

Sakura was the first to speak, "Alright, well, I suppose we should say congratulations, Naruto, be sure to invite us to the wedding," the pink-haired girl said, happy her friend had moved on and found someone good for him.

"Hn, good job, loser," Sasuke said with a smirk, playfully punching Naruto's shoulder, as the blonde gawked at their reaction.

"No way! How did Naruto of all people manage to bag you of all people? Where did you even meet?" Saruyama accused with a pointed finger.

Lala put a hand to her heart, as she blushed a little at the thought, "Well, Naruto and I met in the bath—"

"I think we'll keep that a secret for now!" Naruto shouted, putting a hand over Lala's mouth as she tried to explain their situation to everybody. He couldn't have her revealing she was an alien to everyone. Not to mention if Sakura ever found out how they met—well, she'd probably beat him so hard his kids would feel it.

"Lala, will you quit trying to tell everyone we're getting married?" the blonde whispered, trying to defuse the situation and not make even trouble for himself in the future.

But it seemed Lala wasn't in on what he was trying to do, "Oh? Are you having second thoughts, Naruto? You told me you loved me… are you having second thoughts about that as well?" the pink-haired girl sounded, depressed, as she held her hand over her mouth. If one were to pay attention they could also see the trace amount of tears forming in her eyes, as if she were ready to cry.

"Naruto! Did you promise this girl something you don't hope to deliver, are you taking advantage of her?!" Sakura sounded, getting angry at what her friend might be doing, as she shook her fist towards him. Several other people around them started to get angry as well.

A chill ran down Naruto's spine, "Huh? What! No!-I mean, its all just one misunderstanding! Lala, don't you think we should talk this out a bit more before anything is official? Alone." the blonde said, trying to dig himself out of the hole he had gotten into.

"Okay!" Lala chirped happily, not knowing why everyone was getting angry on her behalf, but if it meant more alone time with Naruto, she was all for it.

"Hmmm, well alright then, I suppose I'll let you off the hook this time, but if I find out you're taking advantage of women…" Sakura stated, calming down. But not before she cracked her knuckles fiercely, the message was clear: if he took advantage of any woman. Well—he wasn't sure what might happen to him, it would probably be pretty bad

The ingrained fear built in by his mother's own rage robotically compelled him to listen to her. "R-Right," he stuttered out, not wanting to get on Sakura's bad side.

He needed some sort of distraction, looking around the hallway, as he looked at a clock on one of the nearby walls. "Hey, would you look at that? Class is about to start, we should all get going now," he said with a nervous laugh, trying to change the conversation so as not to be the center of attention.

"Hn. Naruto is right, I suppose we should head to class now," Sasuke stated, seeing what his friend was doing as he went to help him out a little.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right. We wouldn't want to be late for your brother's class, would we?" Sakura stated as they all began to go towards their classroom.

"Class? That sounds like fun!" Lala said happily, as she tried to follow as well.

Only for Naruto to grab onto her hand, "Lala, what do you think you're doing?" he asked her.

"Why? I'm going to class, of course!" Lala sounded.

"You can't exactly come, you're not a student here, and since you're not enrolled, they'll just kick you out… also, can you please stop talking about the whole marriage thing around everyone," he whispered the last part so that not everyone could hear him speak.

Sakura, hearing the first part of their conversation, perked up, turning back to them, as Sasuke and Rito went off to class without them. "Huh? Naruto, are you saying she isn't a student here?"

"Yeah, she isn't, she's not even enrolled," Naruto told her, hoping the other pink-haired girl would take his side in this.

"I see, well, that is a problem. Well then, why don't you…" Sakura said as she leaned close to Lala, whispering in her ear, as a look of recognition formed across her face.

The Haruno leaned back, "Alright, do you understand what I said?"

"Alright!" She said as Lala gave Sakura a mock salute, as she went off, attracting another crowd as she walked, those who didn't care about the fact they would be late to class as they went to admire the attractive girl in the hallway.

"Wow, Sakura, thanks for the help!" He gave her a thumbs-up. "You're the best!" Happy that his little problem had been fixed temporarily. With luck, Lala would realize the time it would take to enroll, and she would wait for him outside the school so he could have his 'talk' with her.

"I try," Sakura smiled, happy to have helped in the situation.

After that, the two students went to their classroom, seeing that, luckily, they were still on time as class was about to start soon. Rito and Sasuke were already in their seats as they walked in.

Naruto spotted the familiar face of Haruna, as he gave her a wave, only for her to hesitantly give him a small wave as well.

'Right,' she was still under the impression that he was getting married, which he wasn't— he would have to break the news to her, and the rest of the school as well.

It seemed he had a lot of work to do, which was what he thought of when he reached his seat, a chair next to the window, as he looked out of it to pass the time, seeing the trees outside go with the wind as several birds flew through the air as well.

He wondered how he would solve his situation with Lala, how she said she was getting married to him. Why did she even want to get married to her in the first place? Don't get him wrong, he liked the girl all well and good, but even he would say they were moving pretty fast, all things considered. He had met the girl just the night before, and now she said she wanted to get married to him. He had never thought a girl would be so pushy about spending the rest of her life with him so much in the first place.

Idly, Naruto was reminded that she was, in fact, not the first person who said she wanted to marry him, as he was reminded of a certain red-haired lamia staying at his house. Right, he supposed the thought wasn't so out of this world after all. He made the mental note not to let Miia come across Lala, as he knew how protective of him she could be.

Aside from that horrific realization of what might happen, he needed to figure out what was happening with his mysterious alien friend. Friend? Could he even call her that? They barely knew each other… well, he supposed they skipped a few steps, seeing as how Lala wanted to get married, supposedly.

A thought crossed his mind: Lala was being chased by those guys who wanted her to go to a bunch of marriage interviews. That must be it, she wanted a scapegoat, someone who could pretend to be her fiancée while she didn't have to go to see any more candidates for her to marry.

There was obviously no way she could actually want to marry him.

He hoped that after school he could meet up with her, as he would get the full grasp of the situation. Hopefully, and with luck, he could convince her that they didn't need to get married for real. Maybe he could even convince the guys going after her to lay off her for a while. Although that was probably just wishful thinking.

Naruto was brought back to reality as the familiar bell to signal the start of class was sounded. Itachi Uchiha, their teacher, stepped into the room, leaving the door open as he did so.

"Alright then, good morning, class," he greeted, stepping towards his desk. "Hn, this may be rather sudden, but it seems we will be having a new transfer student joining us," their sensei announced.

All of the students went into separate chatter about the prospect of a new student in their class. The boys wondered if it was a cute girl; the girls wanted to know if it was a good-looking guy. Some wanted it to be an interspecies, others wanted a student from overseas. But all had no idea who would step in through that door.

'Oh no' was Naruto's only thought. He knew he had a bad feeling about the supposed 'new transfer student,' but he didn't think it would be her. She just arrived at this school. She didn't even have any ID. How was that even possible?

"Alright then, come inside," Itachi said.

"Okay~" a familiar voice rang into the classroom.

As Lala stepped into the room, not wearing the strange alien outfit that he had seen her in just moments before. Now she was wearing the standard Sanin yellow vest with a green bow and a plaid skirt. She also wore a set of black thigh-high socks, showing off her legs nicely. Her long black tail was also visible, many of those not giving it much thought as they saw it as a foreign way of fashion, somehow.

"She looks really pretty!" "Is she a foreigner?" "Do you think she has a boyfriend?" The students chatted about.

It was at that moment their eyes locked, as she saw him instantly. "Yo ho, Naruto! I'm a transfer student at this school now, too!" She said, flashing him a smile and a two-fingered salute.

"Her name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, you may now proceed with questions," Itachi introduced, as he went to his desk, taking a sip of his coffee as he watched the chaos unfold.

Immediately, everyone started to raise their hands, as loud chatter started to ensue.

Lala pointed to a dirty blonde girl with short hair and brown eyes. She wore the standard uniform, although she neglected to wear the tie that came with it. This was Risa Momioka, who sat next to her best friend Haruna, and her other friend Mio Sawada. Mio was a dark-haired girl with pigtails, glasses, and brown eyes.

Risa spoke for all of them when she asked, "What's your relationship with Uzumaki? Are you two dating or something?!" She asked.

"Well…" Lala grew a small blush as she looked at Naruto, who was trying his best to discourage her from saying anything about her desire for marriage or the fact that she was an alien.

As the blonde made the appropriate hand gestures, mouthing the words 'No' to her as he formed an X with his arms.

Lala got the message, as she remembered Naruto had told her to keep their marriage a secret for a bit.

So she gave the only response she thought would fit, "Umm, well… I suppose we'll be living together!" She announced.

Everyone went into an uproar.

"WHAAAAAAAAAATTT!" They all shouted.

"Uzumaki! How scandalous of you!" Yui stood from her seat and accused.

All Naruto could do was smack his hand to his forehead. What should he have expected?

As the chaos unfolded, nobody could stop it, Naruto had to deal with ceaseless questions, most of which he didn't answer, and to top it all off, he had Yui to deal with, who had constantly lectured him about the nature of chastity and how he shouldn't take advantage of women. Luckily, the bell had rung for lunch eventually, which gave him enough of a distraction to sneak from the disciplinarian's grasp as he took Lala to the school rooftop to question her.

"Naruto, you're being a little pushy, don't you think?" Lala stated as Naruto dragged her through the school so that they could meet privately like this. "Although I don't mind, after all, it reminds me of how we met!" the pink-haired girl stated, remembering how Naruto had carried her in a bridal carry as her father's men were chasing them, him valiantly trying to protect her, just like the fairy tales.

"Never mind that, I think we need to talk!"As Naruto let go of her arm, realizing what he was doing.

"Oh, and what did you want to talk about?" Lala inquired, tilting her head to the side in curiosity,

Naruto nearly face-faulted at that."Ack! What do you mean you don't know? Why are you here?" he asked, reigning in his composure as he tried to question the girl.

"Well…" Lala started, before a slight blush formed across her cheeks. As she covered them with her hands, "I just wanted to see you again…" she said as if she were a girl in love.

It was then that all of Naruto's frustration died in that second. How could he be mad at a girl with such pure intentions? Even still, he needed to know a few things, as he coughed into his hand, getting to the heart of the matter.

"Okay, but still, why are you here— in this school? How did you even get accepted into the school in the first place?" he questioned. Wasn't she an alien? She didn't exactly have the right identification to register for admission, not to mention the amount of time it took for her to join the school was just insane.

"Ah, that was easy! Sakura told me to go talk to someone called 'the principal', and he said I could join!" Lala explained.

'Sakuraaaa!' Naruto mentally winned, he thought she would have his back on this, not give her instructions on how she could join the school. Of couse she would be allowed to, why would he think otherwise?

Their principal was rather a gremlin of a man, one who was a pervert of notorious renown. Of course, he would allow Lala—arguably one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen— to join the school as soon as he caught a glance at her.

"Okay? And why did you say we would be living together?" Naruto said, trying to get his mind back on topic.

"Oh? But didn't you say we would be living together when you invited me to stay with you last night?" Lala reminded.

Naruto recoiled slightly, remembering he did, in fact, say that. "Yeah, I did say that…"

"Besides, isn't it normal for two people who are getting married to live together?" Lala mentioned.

Right, he almost forgot about that. "Ah, about that, don't you think we should talk about that more, I mean it isn't like we are actually getting married—"

"That's something we both can agree on!" A new voice sounded, and suddenly a new person appeared from the sky.

The figure landed in a superhero pose on the school rooftop, appearing from the sky. He was a strange-looking figure, one with long greyish spiked hair that reminded Naruto of a certain kabuki-dressed hermit he knew of. He had blue eyes and a rather handsome face. In addition, he wore strange armor that resembled a knight or a leader, although it looked much like the alien gear he had seen Lala wearing. He also took notice of the man's long black tail with a pointed heart, similar to Lala's.

This man was likely another member of Lala's father's men. And if the order of succession was true like how it was in video games: then this guy was likely the leader of the men who had chased Lala the previous night. And judging from his entrance, he seemed powerful.

This could be trouble.

"Zastin!" Lala shouted, shouting the name of the man in front of them.

"Lala-sama!" the man heaved, as at that moment he was left gasping for air, heaving from the exertion of his dramatic entrance. "Sorry… give… give me a minute…" he said through pants, as he held his hand up to give pause.

'Just who the heck is this guy?' Naruto thought in his mind. If this guy was the superior of those two other guys who had attacked them before, then he felt he had nothing to worry about.

"Alright, I'm good now…" Zatin said as he finally stood up. "Lala-sama, I went through alot of trouble to get here, especially after I heard about such a big explosion you caused. That's why I really dislike underdeveloped worlds. But… " he paused.

As the silver-haired man developed a serious expression, "This is it! Lala-sama, come back to Planet Deviluke with me this instant!" he ordered, trying to get his charge to see reason.

Only for Lala to stick her tongue out at him, pulling one eyelid down childishly to meet his gaze. "Nyeeeh! I won't go back. I have a reason not to!"

"Oh really? And what is your reason?" Zastin inquired solemnly.

"Because I fell in love with him, Naruto Uzamaki, right here!" Lala announced, pointing towards Naruto, whose eyes widened at her words. "So I'll be marrying Naruto and living with him here on Earth!"

As Zastin turned his eyes towards the blonde.

"Huh? Me?" He asked, pointing to himself.

Right, Naruto also forgot about that. Lala was using him as a scapegoat so she wouldn't have to deal with marriage interviews anymore. That was what she really wanted: freedom from her father. In reality, Naruto didn't blame her for trying to get out of it. Although he did have to admit that she was a pretty good actor, all things considered, he almost believed she actually had those feelings for him.

Zastin, to her credit, wasn't able to see through the ploy. "I see, so that's how it is," the man said in thought, actually considering her statement. "I was wondering about why I heard you were associating with an Earthling when I read it in the report from my men," he said. Thankfully, they had survived the ordeal, suffering severe injuries, but they did make the explosion out alive. They said an earthling had rescued Lala-sama when they were trying to capture her, but otherwise, there wasn't much information to go on.

"Yeah, so now that you know, go back and tell Daddy I'll never go back, nor will I meet any more of his future husband candidates!" Lala told him. She wasn't going to be stuck every day for the rest of her life waiting for some pointless marriage. She didn't care that she was the heir of Deviluke, and she didn't care that it was her dad's desire. She was just done.

"No, I don't think I will," Zastin said. "I, Zastin of the Devilukian army, have received an order from the kind of Deviluke himself to take you back to your home… I won't be able to face the king if I go home and tell him that his precious daughter is in favor of marrying some suspicious earthling. It would go against my duty as your head bodyguard."

"Then what can we do?" Lala said, giving the male a serious expression.

"That is for me to decide… Stay back, Lala-sama. I shall test this human worth through a trial by combat," Zastin announced, getting into a combat stance, as he was ready to pull his sword from his sheath at his hip.

"Eh?" Naruto gawked, realizing that the man was referring to him as he pointed at himself. "What? But I—"

"Prepare yourself!" The commander of Planet Deviluke's royal family guard stated as he slashed his sword in his direction. To Naruto's credit, he had the right mind to dodge at that moment, just in time, as in the wake of Zastin's attack was a large blast of destruction, one that hit a large water tower on the rooftop, utterly leaving it in shattered pieces.

Naruto felt his whole life flash before his eyes in that blast, he didn't like the feeling. Seriously, who the hell would destroy a perfectly good water tower?!

"Woah! Maybe we can talk about this?" Naruto tried to converse and find a peaceful solution.

"The time for negotiations is over, it is time to prove yourself worthy of the Deviluke princess!" Zastin told him, as he charged for Naruto with his sword, ready to cut him in two.

"Oh Hell nah!" Naruto said, throwing down what seemed to be a smoke bomb to the ground, as he ran near the edge of the rooftop and jumped down.

Now, to any other person, it would look like he had jumped off of the rather tall, 5-story building, likely leading to serious injury or, in the worst case scenarios, it would lead to certain death given the right impact. That would be what most people would incur if they jumped from the roof. Naruto was not like most people, as with skilled precision, he was able to align himself with the roof's gutter system. Sliding down the metal line as if it were a rope, shimmying himself to reach the ground floor faster like that of a fire fighter.

As he yelled, "Kurama! Get your ass over here, I need your help!" He reached the outside of the school as he did so. The orange fox, who was resting on a nearby tree, startled awake, ready for action as his master called for him.

As Naruto ran through the courtyard towards the school exit, Kurama hopped on top of his shoulder as he checked his bag for supplies, anything that would help him in this scenario.

Zastin saw this act, the smoke fading away, and a small part of him admired the boy's bravery. But then again, that wouldn't get him very far, as he went to chase after him. Reaching the edge of the building, seeing the downward drop that Naruto had just taken.

"I'll… go take the stairs!" he said unceremoniously, realizing that he would rather not jump off the building the same way Naruto did, as he ran towards the nearby staircase, ready to go after his blonde target.

Lala's sweat dropped, "Yeah, you do that…" she said, as when her bodyguard left, she went into action. Shouting, "Peke!"

Her clothing robot responded to her, the small button hairpin on top of her head with two swirls on it that she used to transform her clothes with. "Yes, Lala-sama?" Peke asked, ready for action.

"Let's go help Naruto wherever we can!" Lala sounded, as the robot transformed her into her alien gear, her manifesting bat-like wings atop her head as she took off to follow Naruto.

Yui Kotegawa was not having a good day.

No, she wasn't. At first, her morning had been fine, pleasant even, as she had risen from her bed and gotten dressed for school, being ever so careful to make sure she was presentable for the day ahead. Although she did have a run in with her older brother— who then attempted to tease her into getting a boyfriend— though she only ignored him.

As she got to school, her day hadn't gotten better, particularly when a certain blonde-haired male entered the school, pink-haired girl on his arm.

The whole school had been in an uproar, and as the head of the disciplinary committee, she was the one to try and solve it. But she was to no avail, as her efforts had been for naught in the chaos that surrounded the strange newcomer. She should have known Naruto would have caused such an uproar.

How scandalous.

It had taken all her effort to try and disperse the crowds of people. She then returned to her classroom, the same classroom with said blonde that had caused her so much trouble.

She thought his actions would have ceased for the moment, his vicious fox was nowhere to be seen, and although he still wore his uniform improperly, she didn't have the effort to lecture him. That was, of course… until the pink-haired girl had shown up—one that was not Sakura Haruno, a girl she was familiar with.

Lala, as she had been introduced, as with her introduction was the subsequent information that Naruto and she would, in fact, be living together. This new information sent the class into even more of a frenzy, something that, unfortunately, their teacher did nothing to quell. It took all her effort to try and get everyone to settle.

After that, she took Naruto aside to give him a firm lecture on proper etiquette. She didn't know who this Lala person was, and honestly, she didn't care; all she knew was that Naruto was a male, and he would be taking advantage of whatever opportunity he could to get with a female. That was something she couldn't allow seeing as there was a decorum for the school, even if it was constantly tarnished by students such as Naruto. A man and a woman ought not to live with each other until marriage. That would be when they could do all sorts of… uncouth and lewd acts. Actions that should be held behind closed doors in favor of righteousness and sanctity.

It was those actions that Naruto Uzumaki's existence tarnished. It also didn't help that he was an associate of Rito Yuuki, a male who was notorious for ending up in perverted situations around campus.

So it was safe to say she didn't exactly like Naruto very much, although it wasn't personal—- it was a little personal— she just wanted to protect the image of the school and the chastity of her fellow women. Naruto, on the other hand, was the antithesis of all she stood for, having no care for the school rules, and although he wasn't exactly a pervert on the same level as Rito—whose perverted situations were more of an accident than anything. She had half a mind to think that Naruto had trained his fox to do his perverted bidding for him; that must be it, it was his doing that caused her to reveal herself that morning on the rooftop accidentally. But she would take appropriate measures to ensure that the event would never happen again.

Sadly, the target of her lecture had gone off on her when she tried to re-educate him. Taking the moment is a passing crowd to slip past her notice. She found it not worth the effort to go after him, given all the chaos.

As such, she ate her lunch alone and within the courtyard of the school building.

That was when she caught sight of the blonde figure that had troubled her so. As he climbed down the school building like a wild ape, his fox appeared from nowhere to reach his side—that damned perverted beast.

It seemed the blonde was attempting to leave the school early.

That would not do.

As the head of the disciplinary committee, she had a duty to perform, and any student caught trying to ditch school would be punished severely. And she would relish the thought of Naruto finally being punished for his misdeeds; it was high time that someone punished his delinquent behavior for a change, and she would be just the one to do it.

Jumping in front of the perverted blonde, she blocked the exit through the school gate. If he wanted to get out of the school, then he would have to go through her. She saw him running towards her with no attempt at stopping.

As the dark-haired girl raised her hand, "Halt! Uzumaki-san, cease this action at once or you will face the consequences—"

"Hey, watch out!" Naruto shouted, but it was too late.

Crash.

As the blonde crashed into the black-haired girl, he did not notice her presence until the very last moment, his body colliding with her in that instant. Having tackled her with nearly all of his momentum, he did the only thing he could to react in time. He clutched onto her body in an embrace, rotating them both mid-fall as his back landed on the ground for both of them, taking the brunt of the damage. They were both left skidding along the floor, although the blonde had luckily mitigated the force the girl withstood as much as he could.

"Ouch… Hey, Yui… are you alright?..." Naruto groaned out on the floor, Kurama having jumped off his body at the last minute, so it was only the two of them who took the fall.

"H-H…" He could only hear, as Naruto was left to register their position, particularly the sensation he was feeling along his face.

Yui lay on top of him in a heap, her body left intact and not overly damaged. However, the position they were in left much to be desired.

'Soft' was the sensation he felt as the girl's breasts had landed on his face when he had fallen, but that wasn't the worst part of the ordeal that had happened. To put it simply, when Naruto fell, he grabbed the first part of her he could to try and get a grip on her body, which was where his hands still lay. Naruto reflexively twitched his fingers, which were sitting right along Yui's ass as both hands clutched at her twin cheeks, as a small moan escaped the girl's lips as he clutched her.

"Ah~!" This caused Yui's face to brighten red, as her mind was left to comprehend their situation.

Naruto didn't give her any time to process what had happened, as immediately he pulled them both up, the girl resting on her feet as well, as he sorely took his hands off of her.

"P-P…"

"Yeah, sorry about that, but I'm gonna have to postpone my beating, I've kind of got a guy chasing after me, and… you understand," Naruto said, as he quickly ran from the girl and out the school gate, Kurama following after him with a smirk on his mouth.

Yui could only be left standing in the courtyard, her clothing disheveled and slightly dirty as her mind rebooted.

Naruto left, hearing the scariest words he had ever heard, probably even scarier than anything his mother could produce—scratch that, he knew his mother was still probably scarier.

"P-Pervert! Uzumaki-san! Get back here!" As Yui's voice was heard throughout the entire town. Many of the men in the city could only shake in fear at the noise, as no small amount of fear entered their bodies as a shiver ran down each of their spines. They also felt pity, as well as gratitude, seeing as they were not the ones named Naruto Uzumaki.

No male could imagine what sort of horrors the girl with that much rage could inflict.

"How Scandalous!" was all he heard

As far as Naruto was concerned, this only caused him to run even faster, not wanting to be the subject of Yui's onslaught if she were to catch him. Although he knew that the problem would only come back to bite him in the ass later, but he was already too deep now. He ran on autopilot, using the gracious opportunity he had been given to escape, only to find himself in the face of certain death once again.

Naruto dodged in the way just in time as his instinct screamed out at him, which seemed to be the right call, as right as he jumped out of the way, the car right next to him was completely bisected.

"At last, I've finally caught up to you!" Zastin said from behind him, ready to test the young warrior.

"Nope!" Naruto shouted back, throwing another smoke bomb on the ground to hide his presence. He immediately pivoted on his feet, running into a nearby alley as Zastin chased after him. The blonde ran through several more alleyways as if they were a maze, he tried anything he could to get away from the man.

Once it seemed like he had a moment's notice, he went to see what he had within his bag, as he opened it, revealing what was inside to the world. Inside were a few objects, although unfortunately, he hadn't been able to restock his supply of fireworks since his introduction to Lala the previous night. As such, there were only a few things that could prove some use. Two spools of steel wire, a few more smoke bombs, an assortment of pens and pencils, a few marbles, and a few sheets of paper (useless). There was also a moderately sized metal pipe he kept in his bag, about double the size of his forearm, that could be useful.

He needed to think of some use for these objects that could hopefully get him out of this situation and not lead to his imminent demise. As he racked his brain, he knew this city like the back of his hand, having been raised in this town all his life, he had the home-field advantage. Of course, that didn't really help at all when considering his opponent, who was a bona fide super alien with enhanced physical strength. Not to mention, he also seemed to be skilled with a sword, and currently, he was unarmed, which was a bad turn of events overall. At the moment, he could do nothing but run; engaging in an all-out fight would mean a world of pain for him, and that wasn't something he desired.

Before he thought of something he could do in this situation.

He checked the time on a clock the through the window of a nearby building as he walked the streets, not a person in sight.

"Kurama, you know what to do?" Naruto asked, relaying his plan.

"Yip!" The fox yipped as he ran off.

Just in time, Naruto dodged again, just in the way of another sword slash. This time, the slash broke through the wall he was standing next to… it was made of concrete. Naruto realized he never wanted to be on the receiving end of that swing.

"At last, I've found you!" Zastin spoke, his form sweating from the exertion of running in a full suit of armor on such a hot afternoon.

"Yeah, well, can you stop 'finding' me!" The blonde shouted back, not wanting to be chased again.

"I'm afraid that is a request I cannot follow," Zastin stated, walking along the streets of Sainin." Now, you… Naruto. Show me your true skills in a real fight!"

"No way I'm doing that!" Naruto shouted, he didn't have a death wish, as he ducked behind a nearby truck… a truck which the devilukian slashed in two. "Hey man, people have to pay for that!"

"Be that as it may, I doubt mere property damage is the greatest of your concerns," Zastain said as he neared the blonde.

"You're right, but… look, what's that over there!" Naruto said in surprise, pointing behind the armored figure.

"Oh? And what is it that has caught your attention?" Zastin spoke, as he looked away, seeing nothing.

As he turned back, Naruto had already thrown another smoke bomb onto the ground, a plume of grey smoke covering his body as he ran. Naruto didn't run very far, though, as Zastin took to the rooftops and caught sight of the blonde.

"I have you now!" He slashed, as Naruto dodged narrowly.

This became a cat-and-mouse game between them that occurred around the whole city. As Zastin used his immense strength to maneuver around and find Naruto. Only for the blonde to use his tricks and better endurance to run around the map he knew. Although that didn't go without any close calls, Zastin slashed through several objects like vending machines, electrical poles, and even a few sets of clothes on the bodies of men to try and get at the man who was said to be his princess's fiancé.

"Will you stop running!" The soldier yelled.

"Will you stop chasing me?!"

They both were getting annoyed with how this little game of theirs was going. Naruto had led them to an alleyway on the edge of two buildings. Although it seemed they introduced a new gate in this shortcut, one that the blonde had not been aware of, he soon realized that the amount of space he had to run was severely limited.

"Ah, shit!" Naruto said, realizing he had nowhere to run.

The bodyguard of Deviluke realized this too, approaching him as he pointed out. "Seems you have nowhere left to run, although I'll admit you were a swift opponent if nothing else…"

Naruto felt his back hit the metal gate blocking his path. "Hey, now hold on, I still got a few tricks up my sleeve, like this!"

Naruto threw the first thing he could come up with from his bag, an assortment of pens and pencils that he threw with expert precision at the man. Unfortunately for him, they were mere school utensils, and the man was wearing armor, it wasn't something that could harm the super soldier.

Zastin gave him a flat look. "Really?"

"Hey man, I thought it would work," Naruto shrugged. "Plus, it was really a distraction… for this!" as he pulled on a nearby cord next to him, one that was seemingly invisible to the naked eye.

That unleashed a trap Naruto had planned, as where Zastin was standing, a line of steel wires came shooting towards him, wrapping around his body as it contained the devilkian.

"Alright! I've finally caught you!" Naruto said in his victory.

To which Zastin congratulated him, "You did a good job… setting a trap while pretending to run around, it was a worthy effort," the man nodded. Before he flexed his muscles, the wires around him flowed off of him in the exertion. "But I'm afraid a trap on this level won't harm me in the slightest. The real battle starts now!"

Right, Naruto should have expected as such, if this man could slash apart cars, then of course he would be able to tear apart his ninja wire like it was nothing.

"Damn, and to think I wasted an entire spool of wire on him," the blonde muttered to himself before he realized the impending danger he was in. As he ran again, looking around, he saw a door to the building he was next to in the alleyway.

Not caring what lay on the other side, he quickly went in, only to be met with a room of steam and smoke. Immediately, he was met with a blush on his cheeks at what he saw. Several women who were without their clothing were in front of him as they bathed themselves in the indoor bathhouse. Naruto hadn't been expecting such a sight, as he could only freeze.

It seemed his presence was spotted almost immediately, "Pervert!" "There's a pervert over there!" "He's watching us!" they all shouted, as many of them pulled out various weapons from seemingly nowhere, running at him.

A scene he was all too familiar with was brought to him—although usually, he was only a spectator in watching the mobs of women chase after his godfather, not usually being the victim of such. As such, he could only run, although not without taking a bit of damage as he ran out of the building.

His hair and clothing were torn and disheveled, although it seemed that he had lost the angry woman behind him. Who even visited the bath house in the mid-afternoon? That didn't make sense at all.

Not being one to pay attention to those things, his mind having been bleached of the memories after how many times the angry women had hit him with their weapons, he was lucky he didn't drop his bag in the commotion.

Before he looked ahead of him…

"Ah, right, almost forgot about you," he said, looking at Zastin.

His earlier means of escape hadn't amounted to much, as the Devilukian stood right in front of him.

"It is as I've said, our battle begins now," Zastin said, readying his sword. At that moment, Naruto felt an emotion he hadn't felt in a while.

He realized he was unbelievably tired.

From being chased from school during his lunch period, he never did get around to eating something, did he? To be chased throughout nearly the entire town. To Yui's constant lectures to being beaten by clothless women like an old perverted hermit. He was starting to question why he was running in the first place.

Sure, the man in front of him was likely stronger, but he had never let that stop him before.

He was Naruto Uzumaki, and he never backed down.

Naruto ran a hand through his hair as he thought of how exactly he ended up in this situation, particularly a certain pink-haired girl who had started the entire mess.

"Troublesome," as a certain spiky-haired male might say, was an accurate description of what he was facing. The odds were against him, yet there was a faint sense of anticipation when he walked up to the bodyguard of the family of the rulers of the galaxy.

…even if he was outmatched.

"I see, so you've finally decided to stop running away," Zastin commented, standing along the other edge of the road, with no other people nearby. As he was laid to witness, Naruto reached into his bag, likely to pull out a weapon. "A courageous action to be sure," the guard spoke, a hint of respect or pity in his voice.

"Well, I only realized that running was getting me nowhere," the blonde said, as he retrieved what he wanted, only for Zastin to be surprised.

"What the hell is that?!" Zastin said, pointing at his weapon.

"What? It's a pipe, haven't you seen one before?" He referred to the object in his hand, as he threw his bag to the side, he would retrieve it later… if he survived, that is.

"Well, of course I've seen one, but how do you wish to fight with it!"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Well, excuse me… It's not like I had the time to get a weapon when you SHOWED UP AT MY SCHOOL!"

Zastin coughed into his hand, "Yes, well, perhaps it was a bit presumptuous of me," he admitted, having thought long about his actions in the time he had chased Naruto around the two.

Naruto brandished his pipe into some form of a fighting stance, preparing it as if it were a club, "Alright then, let's get on with it." As they were only a few meters apart.

"Very well, let's see how you hold up," Zastin said as he readied himself as well.

The guard was the first to engage, as he charged at Naruto at speeds he couldn't even hope to match. All Naruto could do was try and track his movement, and predict where he might be later. Lucky for him, he had grown accustomed to Zastin's fighting style, if only a little, when he had been chased around throughout the town as the man slashed at things. You learned well how to counter a person, as you had to dodge a vicious strike that would possibly kill you.

That was what Naruto did, as he watched Zastin swing at him from up high with a diagonal downward slash. He jumped back a bit, not enough to get out of the fight, but enough to where he wasn't in the middle of Zastin's slash.

This followed by another downward slash, then upward, then downward again. Naruto watched the man's movement, although there had been a few times when Zastin's blade had almost struck him. As he waited for his opportunity, Zastin slashed downward, and…

Naruto parried the slash.

Much to Zastin's surprise. "Huh? He blocked it!" he realized, eyes widened.

This happened again and again. Zastin's blows were parried by a meager pipe that Naruto held in his hands.

The pang of metal hitting metal, as Naruto's pipe echoed with each blow.

"H-how are you doing this?" Zastin spoke as he became increasingly frustrated.

"You know, I'm not really sure," Naruto said between breaths, and he thought he was a stamina freak. Zastin was strong, unbelievably so, and catching the flat of the man's blade with a metal pipe was hard enough already. He also had to deal with the impact of the blade as he redirected the force, the devilukian's strength being enough to send ripples throughout his arms.

"Alright, then try this!" Zastin said, as he slashed high, Naruto tried to parry, only for this to be a feint. Unfortunately, Naruto realized this only just in time, as he wasn't able to dodge, and he was forced to do one thing… block. Blocking with his metal pipe, he regretted the fact that he didn't have any reinforcement magecraft at that moment.

"Huh?" Naruto said, as Zastin slashed through his weapon, as he looked at it, perplexed, as it was in his hand.

Zastin slashed three more times, each cutting the pipe shorter and shorter.

Right, Zastin had an actual sword made to withstand his increased strength; this was a metal pipe, and of course, it wouldn't take the blow. It was an even greater surprise that it hadn't shattered at all under the pressure.

As Naruto realized he was without a weapon, he could only say one thing…

"Ah, shit!" as he raised his head, seeing his opponent before him.

"Earthling, prepare yourself!" Zastin said as he struck again. Hitting the blonde with the flat of his blade.

Naruto was sending him flying.

XXX

Elsewhere.

Naruto continued to fly for some time, only for him to suddenly stop.

A cry was heard.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!"

…Crash!

Naruto crashed somewhere a few blocks away, having hit the ground rather harshly as he landed on a pile of dirt, creating a crater as he hit the ground. Wiping the dirt off of his frame, as he got up.

"Oww… that's going to hurt like hell in the morning—" Before he paled, feeling his bones creak in place. "Scratch that, it's still gonna hurt now."

He hoped he didn't break anything, that would suck.

Then again, most people couldn't survive being thrown across town. He could only thank the fact that he had been blessed with such a durable body that he had, it helped protect him from all his mother's feminine beatings— he shivered. Despite having faced the head bodyguard of the supposed leader of the universe, he still wouldn't want to fight his mother when she was angry. The last time he did so was when he had tried to hide his report card from his parents, but that didn't pan out very well.

He stretched his back, arching it to the point he could hear the pops of relief form. He still felt like shit, but he was lucky, the man was able to cut through solid steel. The man had used the flat of his blade, and it still hurt like hell.

Opening his shirt a little, just enough to remove the large stack of paper—now shreded— he had shoved into it. "Damn, I'm so glad I decided to pad my shirt a little, would've hurt even worse if I hadn't done that."

Before he looked around, "Now where the heck am I?" he asked himself, scratching his head. He recognized this place, it seemed he had landed right in the middle of a pair of train tracks. "Huh…" This could be interesting.

He needed to catch his breath, there was no telling when and if that man would show up again. If only he had some sort of power like that—the man was a super soldier for crying out loud, he launched him across the city… what he wouldn't give to be able to do something like that.

Nevertheless, this wasn't a time when he could wish on things that wouldn't be true. Checking his pockets for anything useful, he found himself severely lacking in materials— with barely anything to speak of short of a few marbles that hadn't spilled out of his pocket during his launch.

Things weren't looking good, and he only hoped Kurama had gone off somewhere actually useful.

Because if he didn't, well, he might actually…

No, he couldn't think like that; he would make it through this, he still had people to get home to Mikan, Rito, Miia, his mother, and father. They would all be devastated that he didn't return, all because of a single pink-haired girl who had drawn trouble into his life.

Well, he couldn't blame her; nobody should be forced to do something they don't want to do. Especially if that decision affects something as important as who they'll spend the rest of their life with. He could respect that, even if she unintentionally—or perhaps even intentionally— roped him into her business. Maybe he could outlast Zastin, it would probably take him a few more minutes to find him, if he could restock on some supplies…

Unfortunately, it seemed Kami had decided his few seconds of relaxation had been enough, as a new figure approached from above.

"So this is where you landed? What an interesting individual you are to have survived my blow!"

"Ah, crap baskets," Naruto should have realized something like this would've happened with his luck. As just then, the silver-haired bodyguard arrived from the sky, landing in another one of his superhero landings as he came on top of the train tracks.

"Look, man, are you sure we can't negotiate a little?" Naruto asked, putting his hands up, it wasn't like he had a weapon to fight back with, as he reached into his pockets.

Zastin only pointed his blade at him, "The time for talk has passed, you still have not proved yourself as worthy of Princess Lala-sama!"

"No, the time for talk is now! Really! We haven't had the time for talk in a while, we should try it now!" the blonde panicked, but even then he could see his pleas weren't working. As he snuck his hand into his pocket.

"Alright then… take this!" Naruto said, throwing a bunch of marbles down at Zastin's feet.

All of which rolled helplessly to the floor as Zastin stood completely still, "Oh please, is that seriously all you have—Ack!" As Naruto threw another marble right into his esophagus.

Zastin heaved as he choked, trying to free his airway from its obstruction as he clutched at his neck. "I… ca…can't…" he tried to say, but was unable to.

Naruto looked at him with a sweatdrop for what felt like nearly a minute as Zastin writhed for breath. 'Maybe I went a little too far…' he couldn't help but think, then again, the man had tried to kill him.

"Alright!" Zastin cheered, having finally been able to push the marble out of his throat. "Now that I—"

"Hey, look out!"

"Oh please, I won't be fooled by the same trick twice…"

Crash.

Naruto tried to point out as a train his Zastin, right then and there, neither of them expecting such an event to occur, as neither heard the silent train came by. Right, the train usually came around here around 4:30, he supposed he had been chased for that long.

Zastin was knocked back so far that he hit a nearby wall painfully, as he collapsed to the ground, unmoving.

"Is he dead?" Naruto couldn't help but question. The train really did a number on the guy.

"GUOOOOOOOH!" Zastin said unintelligibly, as blood ran down his forehead, his armor having been broken by the large machine.

Naruto jumped back as Zastin chased him with his sword. The zombie shouting,"You can't beat me so easily! I—"

Before Zastin tripped.

Falling straight onto his face, Naruto looked over to see what had messed up his steps, realizing that a long silver wire was strung onto the ground. This triggered a trap that caught the Devilukian but his legs and housed him up, catching his tail in the process, as he also dropped his sword.

Naruto instantly realised what had happened, "Kurama?" he said in recognition.

"Yip! Yip!" The orange fox suddenly came out of his hiding place.

The blonde smiled, "I knew giving you that spool of ninja wire was a good idea!" He said, thankful, as the fox beamed with pride. His pet fox having set up the trap at the last possible minute.

"Naruto! Are you okay?" And no sooner did the pink-haired princess come to his side as she flew from the sky, arriving near him. She looked over at what Kurama had done, as Zastin hung there. She had watched the fight from a distance, intent on helping if and at all possible, although now she could see that her help wasn't needed.

Before she stuck her tongue out at him, opening her eye and closing her other childishly, "Bleeeehh!"

"W-what? But Lala-sama, what are you doing?" Zastin said as he hung.

"The better question is what were you doing, Zastin, the one said to be the number one swordsman on planet Deviluke?" She said angrily, mocking him as he hung within the air.

"But Lala-sama!" Zastin winned. "Marrying you means he'll rule over countless planets that are under King Deviluke's care! I was just making sure this man you chose was capable of handling it. A spineless man won't be of any use, that's why the king gathered as many possible candidates for you from all over the galaxy!" He said, still hanging upside down.

Lala only crossed her arms, getting face to face with the man. "Yeah, well, it serves you right. It's exactly what I don't like!… I'm sure daddy cares more about the succession than me!"

"That's not true!" Zastin disagreed.

"Is too!"

"It is not!"

"Is too!"

"It is not!"

"Is too!"

"It is no—"

"Will you two give it a rest already!" A new voice broke through the two, as each was looking at the other with a fierce glare, both turned to see Naruto, who had a frustrated but tired look on his face. "I'm tired of all this talk about marriage already!"

He pointed at the pink-haired girl, "Lala, I get that you're frustrated, but you shouldn't try and rope people into your problems by trying to use them as a scapegoat for your arranged marriage. That's just putting them in the situation you've been avoiding, and besides, that way you'll just be in a loveless marriage even sooner, which is what you were trying to avoid in the first place!" Naruto lectured.

As the girl looked at him with a remorseful expression, her tail went low as if she were a puppy he had just kicked. "I'm sorry," she apologized.

"And you!" Naruto yelled, pointing at the still upside-down Zastin. "Aren't you supposed to be Lala's bodyguard or something? Can't you see that constantly pushing her into marriages she doesn't want is only making her less happy, which is threatening her safety seeing as how she'll just run away again. Isn't it your job to protect her first and foremost? Well, it seems you're doing pretty badly at it! After all, a girl should be allowed to choose her own destiny, no matter if their father is the ruler of the galaxy!" Naruto stated, as Zastin recoiled from his words.

Bump. Bump.

"Naruto…" Lala couldn't help but say, as her heart skipped a beat again. This was just like last night, when he saved her, as she clutched at her chest, unable to stop these butterflies from forming in her stomach. "It's true, I used our marriage as an excuse so I wouldn't have to go back. There are a lot of things that I want to do, and I want to decide on my future husband on my own. I think you understand how I feel on the matter…" She admitted, as Naruto looked at her, surprised.

A flush appearing on Lala's cheeks. "Maybe you don't like me, and I know you said I shouldn't talk about it anymore, but… I think I really can… Marry you, Naruto," she said, as the blonde's eyes widened.

"Lala, I…" What more could he say, what could he say? When a girl expressed her feelings to him so passionately, it was more than he could have ever imagined.

"I mean, I want to marry you!" she confessed, having never felt like this with anyone before.

"I see…" Zastin spoke, as he looked down—which was really up. "It seems it's my loss… It is my duty to follow King Deviluke's orders, thus, I was oblivious to how Lala-sama felt on the matter, or rather, I tried not to think about it. But now that you pointed it out… it is something I can no longer ignore," the knight said in conviction, admitting to losing this duel to Naruto.

"I don't know if the countless husband candidates from places all over the universe will agree, but I will report this to King Deviluke myself… I can only hope to entrust Lala-sama to a man like you—who can truly understand how Lala-sama feels."

"I, um…." Naruto scratched his cheek, and even more, he was at a loss for words. Of course, he didn't exactly want to get married to this strange alien that had shown up in his bathtub one night. But, with how the two people felt on the matter, even he couldn't help but feel a little motivated to do so.

Even so, he wasn't going to just marry anyone out of the blue; that just wasn't his style.

"Naruto~!" Nevertheless, Lala didn't seem to mind his hesitation, as she jumped into his arms, a happy expression on her face as she pressed into him.

Yes, truly, Naruto didn't know what to say.

…This just got alot more complicated.

XXX

Some time later.

Lala only continued to hang onto his arm from there after, even as they walked the streets, many onlookers commenting on both of their strange appearances—him still covered in dirt as his clothes were torn, and Lala, who was in her space get-up.

They continued to walk like that for some time, Naruto realized that school had long since been over and that he was tired and starving. He decided to just head to his home, the pink-haired girl singing a merry tune.

Eventually, they reached the Uzumaki estate, Naruto hoped that Mikan had started to prepare dinner early, he had left his bento box at school. And didn't have any money on him to stop at any convenience stores seeing as how he left his bag in the middle of a street— which he sent Kurama to collect not too long ago.

As Naruto reached the door, he opened it, only to find a strange scene in front of him.

"Alright, listen here, you little pervert— I need to know where my darling is and you're going to tell me or so help me I'll choke you out even harder!"

"Please, don't do that… I don't know… he just… fell off the school building! Please believe me!"

"Denied!"

The scene they came across was Miia holding Rito by her tail at his neck, as she glared fiercely at him, as she also grabbed onto his shirt collar. Rito's face was turning purple, and he soon started foaming at the mouth. Off to the side Mikan was looking at the scene with a worried expression, wondering if she should step in to do something, yet standing in place as she watched everything unfold.

Immediately, Naruto sweat-dropped. Honestly, he should have expected such a thing to happen. What likely happened was that Rito returned from school alone, and after reporting he hadn't shown up to any of his later classes, Miia likely got worried. As the lamia girl tried 'interrogating' Rito for anything he knew.

He wondered if any of them realized that Miia was actually breaking the law in doing this, since she was harming a human. But then again, he knew that none of them would report her for doing so, it wasn't like they didn't want her to stay at their home—so Rito would likely end up forgiving her later on.

Finally deciding Rito had suffered enough, Naruto coughed into his hand, trying to get everyone's attention. "Ahem. Guys—"

"Darling, you're back! I was so worried about you!" Miia yelled as she jumped towards him, letting Rito go in the process, who then fell to the floor. In that moment, she pushed Lala to the side as she glomped him.

Before she moved towards his back, a fierce glare at their unknown patron, "Oh, and who's this tramp?" Seeing Naruto come in with her, she had already decided she didn't like this girl.

Naruto was too tired to do anything against her, as he felt her bust against him with a blank expression. Mikan was also wondering the same thing.

At this, Lala lit up, oblivious to Miia's aggression as she looked at her. "Oh, Naruto's wife! I'm Lala~!" she said with a smile. Shocking them all—sans Rito, who already knew who she was, and he was still on the floor unconscious because of what Miia did to him.

Mikan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Ruto, I didn't know you got married?"

Naruto sighed; he had already tried explaining this enough. "No, I'm not married. Miia, I just—"

Before he noticed the lamia was gone from behind him, as she had teleported across the hallway towards the home phone, as she held it up to her face. Naruto was actually surprised by the speed she possessed, able to traverse the entire hallway before he could even notice. "Yes, I'd like to report a suspicious-looking interspecies trying to use her powers to seduce my darling…" she whispered to the phone.

As Miia then turned, pointing a finger at the pink-haired girl as she yelled, "OF COURSE SHE ISN'T MARRIED TO MY DARLING! I WON'T ALLOW IT!"

As Lala blinked, not understanding that she was the subject of the girl's ire.

Naruto merely sighed. This was going to be a long day. "Lala, what did I say? We aren't married," he tried to explain.

The pink-haired girl put a finger to her chin, "Hmmm, I suppose you're right…"

"OF COURSE HE IS!" Miia interjected, satisfied this hussy had learned her place.

The blonde felt relieved, hoping to have finally broken through to her.

"We haven't gotten married yet, so I suppose we're only each other's fiancée," Lala finished, as Naruto felt like falling over.

"That's—" he tried to say, before he was interrupted.

"AS IF!" Miia shouted once again. "I say we just kick her to the curb and tell her to go back to where she came from!" Lala actually looked down at that, not wanting to go back to planet Deviluke, but she supposed if the people who lived with Naruto disapproved of her…

"No, I'm not going to do that either." Naruto shook his head, he couldn't just abandon her and leave her nowhere to go.

Miia recoiled at his statement, "But why…?"

"Well, it's because…" the blonde thought about it. "I suppose I'm kind of responsible for her now," he answered.

"I see…" A bitter expression appeared on Miia's face as she recoiled.

Naruto clapped his hands, "Alright, now that that's gone away, Mikan, I was really hoping that we had something to eat right now—"

"Cheater!"

He blinked, "W-what?"

Miia repeated her words, her arms at her sides. "You heard me, I said you're a cheater, a no-good-dirty-cheater and, I…" before she stopped, tears forming in her eyes. "I can't believe you, darling, after all we've been through."

"M-Miia, I-I…" Naruto actually felt a pang in his heart as he neared the red-haired girl before him. A comforting hand on her shoulder, "I don't think I can be labeled a cheater, considering we aren't even dating," he tried to explain.

"O-Ohhh…" His words only seemed to make Miia cry even more, as she held her hands up to her cheeks. Instantly, she pushed herself off of him, as she rushed towards Mikan for comfort, as she hugged the smaller girl.

"There, there…" Mikan said as she patted her back as Miia cried. Before the Yuuki looked at her blonde brother-figure, "Naruto, how could you?"

The boy actually recoiled at Mikan's lack of use of the nickname she had for him. Lala looked at the scene as well, feeling a little sad that this girl was crying.

Naruto could only wonder what he did to deserve such action.

Knock. Knock.

That was the scene that Mrs. Smith came to as she knocked open the door, as a group of M.O.N. squad members came rushing in.

"Alright, we came as soon as we heard the message! Any and all hostile interspecies stand down!" the dark haired woman yelled, before she caught what was going on.

"Boss, is that the target?" A one-eyed squad member pointed at Lala.

"That must be her," sighed, "Squad, stand down and return to HQ," she ordered, as the squad did so.

Naruto looked at the new bout of chaos that entered the building, as he could only be confused. "Kuroko? What are you doing here?"

"Well, darling, we got a call from a good samaritan that there was a suspicious looking interspecies in this home, one that was violently trying to terrorize the peace. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" Mrs. Smith explained.

Miia stood off to the side, whistling.

Naruto shook his head, "Ummm. No, I don't know anything about that," he sighed, he should have expected something like this to happen.

Kuroko nodded as well. "I thought so, upon arriving at this home it was determined there are no rogue interspecies at this residence, which is why I sent my squad back to their posts."

"WHAT? BUT CAN'T YOU SEE THAT GIRL RIGHT THERE IS CLEARLY A SUCCUBUS!" Miia sounded out, clearly giving away her role in the matter, as she neared the government worker.

As Miia pointed to Lala, who was standing off to the side, "Hello~!" Lala waved at the woman, although she had no idea who she was, she seemed close to Naruto.

"Actually, that's where you're wrong," Mrs. Smith pointed out. "There are no interspecies succubus in the building… but there is in fact a alien among you."

"WHAT?!" Miia and Mikan sounded out, being the only two who did not know awthis information already—sans Rito, who was still on the floor foaming at the mouth.

"Yup~ It's true!" Lala confirmed happily. "Although I would have never expected someone to recognise me so easily."

"Oh please, the government has known about aliens for a while. Of course I would be able to spot a devilukian at first glance, you even have their tail," Smith pointed out. Devilukian's had more heart shaped tails, which at first glance would resemble a succubus given their similar points on their tails as well, but it one were to pay attention they would be able to notice the difference. Not to mention, succubus were usually darker skinned, and had more of a tan.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Really? Does that mean there won't be any trouble for her staying here on earth?" he questioned.

"Oh there will be alot of trouble, the paperwork for her will be immense. Although fortunately there is a procedure when dealing with aliens mingling with civilians…" Smith spoke. As she then reached into her bag, pulling out a strange metallic cylindrical object with a red lens on its end, as she pointed it towards them.

Immediately, Naruto got to action, as he tried to rush for the object.

But he was too slow, as when he tried to stop the government worker he accidentally managed to trip over Miia's tail—who was standing next to Mrs. Smith— as he then collide with her as well.

Thud!

"Oh my my~" Mrs Smith sounded.

As right now both Naruto and Miia ended up colliding with one another, with Miia lying on the floor with Naruto on top of her stadling her waist. Additionally Naruto's head was planted firmly on Miia's chest, right in between her twin mountains.

"D-darling, if you wanted to do something like this… you should have just asked," Miia told him, as a blush was clearly across her face.

"To think I asked you to keep it in your pants and you still do something like this right in front of me. Teenage hormones I suppose, to not even consider the laws you're breaking when doing something so scandalous. Naruto you wild beast," Mrs smith commented on their predicament.

Naruto's cheeks had a light blush on them as well, "No, that's not it…" he sighed, as he then got up from his erotic predicament. "I saw what you were going to do, and I just didn't want you to erase our memories or something," he told her.

"Oh? And what ever would give you that idea?" she asked.

"Maybe the high tech device in your hand maybe!" Naruto commented.

"Oh this?... Daring, it's a pencil holder." She said, twisting the top open to reveal a set of three pencils that laid within, as she took one of them.

"Huh?" he blinked.

"Honestly, what ever would give you the idea I was trying to erase your memories?" Mrs Smith questioned.

Naruto scratched the back of his head, "I don't know… movies I guess," he told her, being reminded of another set of movies with a government worker who went by the name 'Smith'.

"Young people and their imaginations these days…" Kuroko sighed. "If the government had that kind of technology my job would be a whole lot easier."

"Sorry," he appologized embarrassed.

Before the government worker took out a set of papers from her bag, as she used her pencil to beginning writing on them.

"Ummm…Smith-san, if you don't mind me asking: what are you doing?" Mikan sounded, although the government worker only continued to write on her papers.

As she then neared the pink-haired girl, "These, my dear, are forum requests for asslym on earth, its just proper procedure after all. Sign here, here, here… and initial here," she instructed.

"Ok~!" as Lala did so.

"Alright then," Mrs. Smith said as she straightened her papers.

"But wait, aren't you supposed to keep this whole alien thing a secret?" Mikan asked, aliens were supposed to be one of those things that were only in conspiracy theories, for a government worker to confirm their existence so blatantly…

"Why would I? The American Government confirmed their existence years ago and nobody cared," She answered.

"But wait! If she has those forms then she has to go and get another host family as well, right?!" Miia questioned, hoping this pink-haired girl would finally be out of her hair—it wasn't nice knowing her.

"Actually she doesn't, if it's okay with Kushina she can live right here," Mrs. Smith informed, as she then pulled out her phone and angled it at the alien. "Now pose for me…" she requested.

As Lala went through a myriad of poses, one a standard school photo, one where she held up a couple of peace signs, one with a silly face. She even took a photo with Naruto, where she pulled his arm in between her bust as she had a megawatt smile across her face.

Mrs. Smith nodded, "Alright, all we have to do now is get your mother's permission and things will be ready to go," she said to Naruto.

"Pfft, as if mother would let someone she doesn't even know into her home—" Miia commented.

Before Kuroko's phone lit up, "...And she already approved."

"W-what?!" Miia gawked. "How could she approved someone so recklessly?!"

"Well, actually it's pretty simple," Mrs. Smith said, as she cleared her throat. "She said 'As long as she's pretty, she's fine'" as the government worker imitated Kushina's voice.

"Right, should have expected mom to say something like that," the blonde sighed.

As Naruto walked up to look at Kuroko's phone, "Oh? She also left a voice message," he pointed out, as he tapped the button to let it play through.

"As long as she's pretty, she's fine!" the voiceline played in Kushina's voice, which was nearly identical to the voice Mrs. Smith used not a moment prior.

"Alright then, I'll send over the actual documents to get everything finalized, but with luck we'll be able to register Lala-san to this house in just a few days," Mrs smith stated, referring to the girl by the name she had seen her sign on the document.

"Isn't this great Naruto! We're going to be living together!" Lala sounded, once again grabbing Naruto by the arm as she pulled him into her bust, the biggest smile across her face.

"Ah, young love~" Mrs. Smith commented on the two's affection. "Well then, Mikan-san, what's for dinner?" she asked.

As Naruto saw Miia seething, sending a firm glare Lala's way.

Right, he could only expect that things would end poorly between the two of them.

But at the moment he didn't care— that was for future Naruto to deal with

'Grrrrr.' The blonde's stomach sounded, alearting everyone that he still hadn't eaten all day.

"Hooooo~!" Rito groaned, still lying on the floor, nobody payed attention to him at all.

As dinner was about to be ready soon.

End Chapter.

An: And that's a wrap.

This chapter mainly has to deal with the follow up of last chapter, with it incorporating some of the material from a few of the chapters.

Here we have Lala entering the school as a student with the help of Sakura, Naruto trying and failing to get Lala to see the light on their impending "Marriage". With him battling the galaxy's greatest swordsman, Zastin, who's really just a big goof. The argument that follows only for Lala to fall in love with Naruto for real. And the last scene with Naruto taking responsibility for it all, leading to Lala living at the Uzumaki residence, much to Miia's displeasure.

That about summarizes it all, this chapter. The plot largely was made by a friend of mine, the same person to suggest the fic, so you can thank him for that.

Please Leave me lots and lots of NICE reviews.

I also got a nice little Omake ending scene at the end, if and If any of you have any suggestions for any omakes please let me know.

Omake: Zastin's misery

"Hello~! Hello! Is anyone there?!"

A voice was heard throughout the streets of Sainin, night having already fallen, but nobody heard it.

"You guys wouldn't have left me! Right?" Zastin spoke, still hanging from the lamp post Kurama had tied him to, not a person in sight. He was tired, he was injured, and he was hungry.

He had expected Naruto or Lala to free him hours ago, but they hadn't come back.

They couldn't have forgotten him… could they?

Even so, he was the captain of the bodyguards of deviluke, he would be able to free himself in due time… if he could only… reach… his sword…

"Come on, come to papa!" he sounded, trying to reach for his blade, although he found his fingers were just too short, as he tried to shake himself towards it, swinging himself on the wire as he rocked back and forth.

He was already starting to feel dizzy from being upside down and all his injuries.

This day couldn't get any worse.

… oh but it could.

"Ruff!" A small dog neared him, one hostile with evil and killing intent.

Immediately Zastin's eyes widened, as he raised his arms to placate the situation, "Woah! Easy boy…"

"Ruff!" that did not seem to calm the dog, as it only continued to bark, charging at him.

"Easy— OW! OW! HE'S BITTING ME! HE'S BITTING ME!"

Zastin's cries were heard all throughout the town.

XXX

Elsewhere. (Uzumaki residence)

Naruto sat on the couch, watching the television. Lala was at his side a little too close for comfort as she hugged his arm on his left side, on his right was Kurama, who was resting on his leg as he pet the fox. Him having fed the fox a myriad of treats that night—the fox deserving it after today's performance.

As Naruto then looked off to the distance confused. "Huh? Did you hear that, Lala?" he questioned.

The princess shook her head, "Nope~! Didn't hear anything," as she continued to nestle herself even closer to Naruto.

"Ok…" the blonde sounded, "Miia?" he asked the girl who was currently hiding behind the couch.

"Hssssss!" Miia hissed back.

Right, she was still angry Lala was staying with them.

"But still, I can't help but feel we are forgetting something…" before Naruto shrugged.

If it was really important he wouldn't have forgot about it.

"HE'S BITING MY BALLS!"

Zastin's cries were heard all throughout the town that night, nobody came for his rescue.
