To Love Monsters and Aliens - Chapter 4 (Patreon)

Please leave me lots and lots of NICE reviews.

Chapter 4- Red and Pink don't mix.

The sun was shining on the Uzumaki household, the birds were chirping, and the eggs were cooking in the morning.

None was more content than Miia was, as the snake Lamia sat peacefully in her darling's bed, having snuck in the night before as she rested casually with the one she loved. Wrapping her long red tail around him in the warmth of the sunlight, and his body. Unconsciously, she snuggled deeper and deeper into Naruto's body, pulling his right arm deeper into her bust as she dreamt a nice dream of her and Naruto running away together. Leaving the world behind and becoming fugitives in their love.

That was a nice dream.

And the moment was nearly perfect.

Nearly…

"Aha! Naruto, stop it! Stop it! Don't tickle my tail… You know I'm sensitive there! Ahaha!" The voice of the third occupant in the room spoke up.

Immediately, Miia rose from her sleep, glaring as she saw Lala sleeping in Naruto's bed as well, outside her tail, as she pushed her bust up against Naruto's freed left arm.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing in my darling's bed, you know he doesn't like anyone here!" Miia shouted, pointing an accusatory finger at her way.

"Hmmm…. What did you say?" Immediately, Lala rose from her sleep, as she lifted herself, yawning as she tried to wipe the sleep away from her eyes.

The blanket fell from her chest, letting everyone in the room know she didn't have any clothes on under it.

"Ah, good morning, Miia," she greeted, finally awake enough to comprehend where she was.

"At least put some clothes on!" Miia shouted at the girl in anger.

Didn't she have any sense of decency? She was a princess for Kami's sake; she should know that she shouldn't be sleeping in a bed naked with her darling. A least she had on a night shirt— one that had lost a few buttons, but still…

"Huh? What's with all the racket?" Naruto said, rising from the bed, as he found that he was wrapped up in Miia's tail once again. "What are you two doing here?" he asked, seeing that Lala was in his bed as well— and that she was naked.

As the blonde sighed, "Lala, can you please put on some clothes?" he requested, hoping that they would be able to fix such a problem that day.

"That's what I've been trying to tell her, she has no decency for you, darling!" Miia shouted, pulling Naruto close to her.

"-Whoa!" Naruto shouted as he fell right on top of Miia's large bust, and he blushed.

"Hehe, that looks like fun!" Lala sounded, pulling on Naruto's other arm and causing him to fall the other way, right onto her equally large, naked breasts.

If Naruto was blushing before, he was red now, trying to stop himself from gaining a nosebleed.

'Think cold thoughts, Naruto. Cold thoughts! Ice cream! Ice! Snow!' He really needed a cold shower right about now.

"Hey, Ruto, I hope I'm not interrupting something… Oh, it seems you're quite busy. I just came to let you know that I made some eggs and bacon in the kitchen," Mikan said as she peeked her head into the room.

"No, Mikan, it's not what you—!" Naruto tried to say, but he was cut off by Mikan slamming the door as she left, and he sighed at the misunderstanding.

"Yay, food!" Lala sounded, as she jumped out of the bed first. "Peke!" she called out to her clothing companion as she immediately dressed herself in her alien clothing. It wouldn't do for her to go out there naked, now would it?

As Naruto freed himself from Miia's tail, he was wearing his usual set of a T-shirt and shorts that he went to bed in, as he got up to go eat as well. It wouldn't do if all the food was taken before he got there, though he was sure Mikan would make extra, he didn't want to bother her.

Although he did nothing, something stopped him as he was about to leave.

"Hey Miia, are you okay? Usually, you're the first one out the door when Mikan makes eggs; they're your favorite," he pointed out, as Miia was still sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

"Huh, me?" Miia said, breaking out of her trance. "Oh, you're right, let's go get something to eat, darling~!"

Naruto didn't press any further; if she wanted to talk about it, he would wait until she was ready. Though he did tell her something before they left.

"Good, you better eat up, because we're going out after breakfast. Make sure you look nice and stuff," Naruto told her offhandedly.

"What?!" Miia shouted.

XXX

Miia was ecstatic, and she had been all morning, dancing to her own little tune.

She couldn't believe it.

She and her darling were going on a date.

A date!

She didn't care where she was going or what they were going to do; she just wanted to spend time with her darling.

Miia threw on one of her cutest outfits, as she was now dressed in a black shirt that was semi-low cut and a jean skirt that she could slip her long tail through. Additionally, she had on a denim jacket, as well as a red and gold hat that had similar snake eye-like hair pins on top, and a black belt with three buckles.

As she waited semi-patiently by the door, jumping up and down on her tail.

"It's a Date! A date! We're going on a date! A date with my darling! A date!" She chanted, waiting for Naruto.

"Alright, I'm here!" Naruto said as he went up to Miia. He was now in a set of casual clothes that consisted of a black jacket with an orange hood and linings, over a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans.

"Ah, darling, you clean up pretty well. Alright, let's go on our date!" she complimented with a smile, as she immediately took Naruto's arm, trying to head out the door.

"Haha, I'm coming!" Lala's voice sounded as she neared them as well in her alien outfit.

Immediately, Miia's expression turned into a frown. "I don't get it. What's she doing here? Aren't we going on our date?"

"A date? Who said anything about a date?" Naruto questioned, wondering what she was talking about.

Miia blinked, shocked. "But you said we were going out today!"

"Yeah I did," Naruto said with a nod. As the blonde scratched his cheek, "We're going on a shopping trip, see Lala needs some new clothes, and I thought this would be a good opportunity for you to see the city too," Naruto told her.

He figured it would be a good opportunity for both. Miia needed some actual human interaction as part of the interspecies program, and as her host, he needed to watch over her to make sure she didn't break any of the rules. As for Lala…

"You know, Naruto, I'm not sure why you want to go shopping when I already have Peke," Lala sounded, as she rubbed her head. As Naruto freed himself from Miia's grasp, lightly bopping Lala on her head, as she pouted. "Owie!"

"Because Lala, you need actual clothes, not the stuff Peke can make, we don't want his battery running out on us and you ending up naked or something. Plus, we can't have you going around dressed like that; who knows what sort of questions people will have," he lectured. That was why they needed to get her some real, actual human clothes so something like that wouldn't happen. It was a win-win.

"Oh, but I can have Peke transform into anything, see!" Lala told him.

Instantly, she was naked again, using Peke to transform her clothing. As now she appeared to be wearing a short jean skirt, with a black skirt and denim jacket, as well as a red and gold snake-like hat.

A complete copy of what Miia was wearing.

"Alright, let's go!" Lala shouted as she tried to pull Naruto out of the door.

Just as easily, Miia stopped them, "Nuh-uh, you're not wearing the same thing as me. You need to change!" She told her.

As Mikan's voice sounded out through the house, "Okay, we're coming!" Alerting the two girls that she and Rito were going on the trip as well, just like Naruto had planned for them.

"Well, okay then…" Lala said as she used Peke to change into another outfit.

Here she was wearing a small yellow jacket with an orange top that showed off her navel. As well as a set of jeans that had the legs rolled up, and a white belt with a bright pink heart as the buckle. A part of her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, the rest of her pink hair flowing down her back.

Overall, this gave her a bit of a 'cutesy' look, with a small amount of a little sister vibe to it.

Miia inspected her outfit. "You know, you look kind of childish in that getup, where'd you see it at?" she asked. At least she wasn't still wearing her outfit, anymore. How would she have gotten Naruto's attention if LaLa wore the same thing as her, that wouldn't do.

Just then, Mikan walked over to them, seeing that she and Lala were wearing the same outfit, although her's was of course tailored to fit her.

As she looked to Miia in a deadpan, "Sorry for not having a better fashion sense."

"Let's just have Lala change into someone else's clothes when we get to the shopping district," Naruto suggested, as he'd rather not have this cause some sort of problem. As Lala changed back into her usual devilukian outfit

Rito walked up with his sister, wearing a black T-shirt under a blue button-up and a pair of khakis. Kurama deciding he would rather nap than have a outing with Lala or Miia given how loud they were.

As they were off, Miia was glaring at Lala the whole way there.

XXX

(In the Shopping district)

They had gone into an alley away from prying eyes, as they got ready for Lala to change into an outfit that would be more presentable to the public.

"Okay, Lala, do you mind picking a set of clothes that won't cause you to stand out as much?" Naruto requested.

"Okay~!" She said as she peeked her head out of the alleyway. Seeing an outfit she can copy, it was something that loads of people were wearing. It must have been pretty fashionable.

'Costume analysis completed! Form change!' said Peke.

As Lala was transformed into the clothes of a businessman with a black suit and blue tie, with a trenchcoat. She even had a pair of glasses on her face to complete the look.

"How's this?" she asked, this seemed like a sure fire winner.

"That's a male outfit!" X2 Both Miia and Rito shouted.

Lala's form then changed again, switching to that of a police officer, badge and all, with a short shirt, showing off her long legs.

Naruto palmed his face, "Lala, you can't impersonate a police officer, that's a crime," he told her.

Her form morphs into that of a sexy nurse, with a stethoscope and an added needle, and even an Arabian dancer, needless to say, they were rejected.

Though both of the males couldn't help but blush when looking at her.

"Where are you even getting these outfits?" Mikan mentioned.

"These were both clothes I spotted in Miia's closet," said the robot.

All of them gave Miia a pointed look, as she blushed a bit out of embarrassment, "What? A girl has to have weapons for any occasion," she told them, all in the effort to seduce her darling.

Lala danced around a bit in the Arabian dancer costume, moving her hips as she gave notice to her smooth naval. "I don't know, I kind of like this one!" Lala mentioned.

"No!" Naruto told her flatly, dashing away all her hopes of keeping the outfit.

"Pooo~!" As she pouted. She didn't really understand human clothes or their culture to begin with.

"Here, why don't I help?" Mikan offered as she dragged Lala to see the crowd of people. "Why don't you go with that outfit?" she told the princess, pointing towards a particular girl in the crowd.

"You don't think she'd choose something bad, would you?" Rito asked; he just wanted to get this shopping trip over with.

"Who knows, anything can be better than that nurse costume," he said, as both boys blushed.

Even if they were to deny it, both could admit to themselves that Lala was quite attractive, one of the most beautiful girls they had ever seen. Though Rito would berate himself for thinking as such, and say that Haruna was a lot cuter.

"Ok, here we go!" Lala shouted as her form changed for a final time.

Instantly, Lala's clothes changed. She now wears a Lolita-style dress with a light pink and black color scheme. The dress has a short-sleeved blouse and a pink bow on the chest, while the skirt is black with white ruffles at the hem. She wears low-heeled black shoes that match the style of the dress.

Instantly, both boys blushed red at seeing her.

As Naruto's mind conjured a miniature white haired toad hermit that spoke to him wise words of wisdom…

"Oh kami, it's the sundress, the ultimate peak of a woman's natural charm. The dress provides an aura of comfort and casualness, though it also works for nicer events. In addition, it gives a nice aura of innocence, though it also works for seduction. Allowing a male to see much, like her smooth legs and collar bone, but not too slutty to drive a male off. Letting a person see little to leave them wanting but not too much to leave out the surprise… Naruto, you need to do her, you need to do her now!" as Naruto's inner Jiraiya rambled upon the gift of god to man that was the sundress, his mind went to restart itself. He was left staring at the princess in front of him.

"Cute," was all he could think to say.

It was all his mind could think of as it went blank.

And truly she was. With the sundress showing off her long legs and toned thighs, it was low cut enough so that it showed off her neck and collar bone, as well as a bit of her upper cleavage, given the right angles. But not overly so to the point it showed too much. That, coupled with her abnormally cute face, gave her the appearance of a seductive innocence, and the perfect outfit for any date. Like she was beautiful without even knowing it.

The outfit was just so Lala.

Miia noticed he was staring and immediately got jealous, "Okay then, now that that's over, darling, let's go!" she shouted, grabbing Naruto's arm as she tried to drag him off.

"Alright then, let's go!" Lala sounded, as she immediately yoinked his other arm. Naruto was sandwiched between both girls as he wondered how he ended up in such a situation.

Mikan followed after them, feeling like a bit of a third wheel, or was it fourth?

"I don't know how I got roped into this…" Rito mentioned as he was the last person left in the alley. As he then followed after them, it wasn't like he had anything better to do.

As the gang went off to do a myriad activities, such as visiting a costume shop. Trying on loads of masks like one that was designed like a little grey alien, much to Lala's amusement. They ate taiyaki. They took pictures in the photo booth, though it was mostly Lala and Miia fighting over getting a picture with Naruto. Though Rito, Naruto, and Mikan also got a picture together that was rather cute, seeing as they were so close together. They even ate at a cafe, Miia not being able to fit in the booth that they were sitting at, unfortunately, as the restaurant hadn't been acclimated for interspecies customers quite yet.

Their next stop was at an arcade, where the group stopped by a couple of claw machines as Lala inspected them.

"What's this machine?" she asked.

"It's an arcade game where you put money in it and it gives you a chance to try and get one of the stuffed toys with the crane," Rito explained.

"Oooh…" Lala said, amazed as she tried to go for a rather cute but weird-looking purple rabbit stuffed animal. Though no matter how many times she tried, she just couldn't get the crane to drop it in the hole.

"Here, let me help," Rito volunteered to help her, and with a keen eye and steady placement, he was able to get the stuffed toy out of the machine.

Much to Lala's amazement, "W-wow! Isn't that amazing!" Lala beamed, jumping up as she held up the toy Rito had gotten her.

Rito beamed with pride at his arcade game skills.

"He's just pointlessly good at these useless little activities," his sister said in a deadpan, as Rito deflated at Mikan's words.

"Pffttt, as if that's anything good, my darling can surely get me something better!" Miia announced. Dragging the distracted Naruto, who had been playing a game of Pac-Man off in the corner, as he was right about to beat the high score— emphasis on dragging.

As she pulled Naruto along to the claw machine Mikan was at, a coin was already in the machine. Naruto lost his balance, falling right on the machine's joystick and buttons. The machine went off.

"Winner! Winner! Winner!" as the claw pulled out not one or two but thirteen inexplicably linked large stuffed toys out of the machine. They didn't even know how that was possible!

"And of course Naruto has the dumb luck…" Mikan stated in the same deadpan.

Wondering how the men in her life always seemed to be rather unusual.

XXX

The next time we saw the group was walking along the town streets, each of them with several of Naruto's stuffed animals in hand.

"Alright, now that that's out of the way, let's get to what we actually came here to get," Naruto reminded. They were here to get Lala some real clothes, not to see the entire town.

"Yeah, yeah, you say that, but we're the ones holding your prizes!" Rito snarked, still a little bitter that Naruto had beaten him out without even trying.

"Yeah, yeah, you're just a little butthurt that I also beat your high score too," the blonde shot back.

"You did what?!" Rito outright shrieked; he had spent months getting that record, and here Naruto beat it. As he comically cried at the fact that he had lost to Naruto again.

"There, there…" Mikan patted his back in pity, although she kept licking her popsicle as she did so.

"Yeah, so we—oof!" Naruto tried to say, as he accidentally ran into Miia, who was slightly in front of him, gently grazing her shoulder with his own. Looking around, Naruto stopped as well.

"Hey, Naruto, what's the hold up?" Rito questioned.

As Mikan slapped him, "Be quiet, can't you see what's going on around us…?"

"That's a snake girl." "Really? I've never seen an interspecies before." "Ew! She looks gross!" "She has such big scales." "You think she has a snake pussy too?" "She's disgusting."

They had been so engrossed in themselves that they hadn't even noticed that they had formed a crowd. As numerous onlookers had gathered around them, noticing that they were a rather odd ground.

Though they didn't pay attention to the fact that Lala had an alien tail, or that Naruto was a delinquent.

No, their focus was entirely on Miia.

As Rito turned to see, Miia's head was low, and she was… crying.

It was strange, usually Miia was one of the most headstrong girls he had ever known, always loud and boasting about how he was going to marry Naruto. And yet here she was, in tears.

"Hey Miia, you okay?" Naruto gently reached a hand towards the red-haired girl.

"Oh? Would you look at that! I've got to go now!" Miia told him, as she slithered off away from the group faster than any of them could react.

"Miia, wait!" Naruto shouted, running after her.

Lala tried to go after the two as well. Luckily, Mikan stopped the princess, placing a hand on her shoulder.

As the girl shook her head, "No, just let Naruto go on his own to help her, it'll be better this way."

As Naruto ran to find Miia.

XXX

It took Naruto quite a while for him to reach up to her again. Surprisingly, Miia was rather quick when she wanted to, being able to slither down small corridors and through crowds with ease. Whereas he had to charge through everything.

But when he finally did get near her, he called out to her.

"Hey, Miia!... Miia, wait!" Naruto shouted as he saw that she ran into a storefront, although he didn't quite see what the shop was about. "Miia, you know you're not supposed to run off without your host—"

He tried to say, but all his words left him as the doors opened, revealing that it was a lingerie shop that Miia had wandered into, one that served both human and interspecies customers.

You know, maybe he should wait outside for Miia to come out, seeing as there was only one exit. Yeah, that would probably be the best option, as he stepped back trying to—

He was pulled inside by Miia's tail wrapping around him, as he could do nothing to stop it.

"Ah, darling, I'm so glad you're here. Perhaps you can help me with a problem I'm having…" Miia told him, tears no longer on her face as if she hadn't been crying. In fact, her tone felt like he had been imagining it, as she was talking casually with him as if this had just been another stop on their trip.

As she held up two sets of bras to her chest, one was a black set with red lace, and the other had white cups with yellow frills. "Which one of these do you think looks better to you?" she asked him.

"Huh, well, I—" he tried to say, but he was cut off.

"I don't really wear bras, so I wouldn't know~" she told him, with a heavy blush, pulling her shirt down to emphasize.

As she flashed him a clear view of her left breast with a large areola, her pink nipple lightly sticking out due to how cold it was.

Instantly, Naruto's face was lit crimson, not being able to react to such information. He turned away like the gentleman he was, as he felt like he really needed a cold shower right about now.

"Well, it's not like I'd know…" he told her, slightly scratching his cheek, trying not to look at her too much.

Miia hummed, "Hmmm… I suppose you're right," as the snake lamia then wrapped her tail around him once again.

"Miia, what are you—" he tried to say, as he was dragged into one of the dressed stalls.

"Isn't it obvious, I'm taking you in here so you can tell me which one you prefer. I'd rather wear something you chose… cause, you know, I want you to like me more…" she told him with a heavy blush.

Naruto blushed even harder, as before he had known, it Miia had removed her shirt, letting her tits fall freely. To put it simply, they were perfect. In much the same size as Lala's breasts were, they would be sure to make anyone happy due to their perfect roundness and shape. As she lightly pressed them against one another, smooshing them around as Naruto fixated on her very pink, very erect nipples.

"So why don't you take a good look and choose for me~?" she told him.

Naruto fell over from the sight, all the blood in his body flowing straight towards his head… among other places.

He needed to get out of here! He had to, if he didn't, he didn't know what he would do! Sexual advances between an interspeices and their host were off limits, and if he did something now, Kuroko would have his head for it.

So when he fell crawled along the floor, arms flailing, clawing at everything and anything to get away from the girl.

"Both of them! Both of them look good!" he shouted. It was all his mind could do to make an escape, as just like that, he was out of the dressing booth.

Trying to catch his breath after the whole debacle.

"I swear, she's going to be the death of me one day…" Naruto sighed to himself, trying to think of anything and everything that could stop his blood from pumping.

"Oh, huh, what's this?" Naruto realized that there was something sticking to his hand, a good distraction to go by. It was in the shape of a small triangle, which was rounded at its sides, the object having likely stuck to his hand as he crawled along the floor.

It was rather sticky and felt like silicon. Perhaps it was one of those NuBras, although the shape was off, and this was much smaller. Like a patch that had fallen on the floor, one of the sides was rather sticky and kind of warm, as he wondered what the object was.

Suddenly, Miia's voice rose up, bringing him back to reality. "Ummm… Da-darling?" she said as she peeked her head out of the curtain. "Um… I'm sorry for dragging you to the dressing room with me, so could you please give me back my panties now?" she asked, blushing up a storm, even more so than when she had shown her bare chest to him.

Eh? Naruto's mind completely froze, "Oh, yeah, sure, here you go…" he told her robotically, passing her the triangular object.

It looks like when Naruto panicked and ran out of the dressing room he had accidentally grabbed it in his haste.

Miia snatched her undergarments faster than he could realize, shouting, "Oh, Darling, you pervert!"

Naruto's mind was clearly on one thought. 'Wait a minute, Lamias wear panties?' he questioned.

He never really thought about it, but he supposed it did make sense that they couldn't wear the conventional kind, considering they didn't have any legs. But the panties didn't go all around her, did that mean that Miia was walking everywhere with her butt—

He shook himself off from such thoughts.

As Miia walked out of the changing room in her usual outfit, her cheeks were still red again. "You know, darling, only a pervert would steal a girl's panties!" she lectured, although she didn't do anything to deter him.

Naruto sighed, he didn't think things could get more worse than this.

"Naruto-kun?" a voice spoke up, recognizing him.

Ah, things could get worse, it seemed…

"Ahah, hey Haruna," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head.

And sure enough, the blue-haired girl had come from out of nowhere, as she had been shopping for her own underwear within the store.

Spotting her friend, although she noticed he was with a strange, interspecies girl. Right, she had heard about Naruto being a host to an interspecies, but she didn't think that she'd be so… pretty.

And, judging by the state of their clothing, both of their clothes had been ruffled when Naruto made his escape. And the fact that Naruto was with the girl in a lingerie shop to begin with, her mind could only come to one conclusion.

As Haruna blushed up a storm, thinking of the implications. But she had thought that Naruto was marrying that Lala, girl, and now there was this interspecies older woman thrown into the mix.

"R-Right, well… I-I better be going now!" Haruna announced.

"Haruna, wait!" Naruto tried to say, but it was once again too late as she had already left the building.

Naruto sighed once more. He knew this would be a difficult thing to explain. There were already enough rumors going around; he didn't need to let everyone know he was having an affair with a college student or something crazy like that. He just hoped Haruna could keep a secret.

"Who's that girl Naruto? I didn't realize you had such friends?" His lamia companion questioned.

"Huh? Oh her, she's just a friend from school…" he told her.

As Miia once again looked down at the development.

"You know, I think I'll get going too!" she told him, as she tried to run from him.

Naruto chasing after her.

(With Lala)

After the two had gone off on their own Mikan, Rito and Lala continued their shopping trip, looking for clothes for the alien princess. As many of the shop vendors sought after her, looking to get her attention.

Even still, that didn't stop Lala from thinking of what happened.

The pink-haired princess frowned, still thinking about how Miia had left them. "I don't get it. Why were all of those people staring at us and giving us all those weird looks?"

"You don't know, do you?" Mikan questioned.

"Know what?" Lala questioned.

"Really, you can't tell that having a snake tail for legs isn't normal?" Rito said in disbelief.

Lala blinked, "But I thought that was just normal for you humans?" She had seen weirder species out in the universe, ones that were alot more diverse than the ones here on earth.

Rito nearly slapped himself on the face, though he stopped himself.

As Mikan went to explain to Lala why the people were staring at Miia. "You see, Lala, Miia is what's known as an interspecies, something that isn't quite human and is more akin to a monster. Humans are just now starting to find out about them, and them living with humans in the normal world isn't quite what we're used to. Some people just can't handle living in a world with interspecies, so they make fun of any of them that they see. I know it's unfortunate, but it's just how it is…" Mikan explained sadly.

It was part of the reason Miia needed an escort everywhere she went. Not only because of the fact that she could harm a human, but that it was very likely that she might get hurt by some kind of bigot attacking her.

Usually, it was rather peaceful here in Sanin, but there were a few people who just refused to change.

"Well, that's stupid, hmph," Lala sounded.

"Yeah, you're right, it is stupid…" Mikan smiled. Rito was largely silent during the whole ordeal.

Luckily, Naruto was able to catch her outside the store this time. "Miia! Miia, what's up this time?" he prodded, stopping the girl.

"W-what do you mean, darling, I'm fine," Miia told him, though her hair was shadowing her eyes.

He knew she was lying, "Miia, don't give me that crap, I can see that you aren't alright, so I wanna know what's wrong with you."

As he put a hand on the snake girl's shoulder, her form started to tremble slightly with her own breathing.

"Miia?" he asked in actual concern, and it was only then that she finally looked at him.

"Darling, do you remember the first time we met?" Miia asked offhandedly, reaching her hand up to grab Naruto's on her shoulder. As she then interlocked her soft fingers with his own.

"W-what?" Naruto asked, a little shocked by the question.

Did he remember the first time they had met?

Well…"Of course I do," he told her.

He could remember it like it was yesterday…

XXX

(Flashback: A Few Months Prior.)

It had only been a few months ago, he was young, well— younger than he was now.

His family was back in Sanin, although due to scheduling issues, they weren't able to make it in time to the meeting. Kushina, his mother, always wanted to meet an interspecies, to talk with one, and she figured hosting one would be a nice experience. Not that she would take care of her very much, no, that would usually be Naruto's job.

As such, it would only be natural that he would be the only one to meet Miia in the interview, to see if their families would be compatible.

Naruto was running a little late, seeing as he had just run off from school, his mother only telling him very recently that he had to be here over the phone.

Mrs. Smith had let Miia into the Uzumaki residence so that she could get a lay of the land that she might be staying at for the foreseeable future.

Miia didn't do that, partially because spying on a family's house was creepy, but also because this was already the third family she had visited, each one of them having turned her away as they felt having a snake lamia in their house wasn't what they were expecting.

So Miia just sat at the table, waiting, expecting this person to see her and immediately run off. That was the expected response, and what she had gotten the last few times she had done the interview. She shivered slightly in the room, feeling it a little too cold for her liking, although she didn't fret about it; she wouldn't be staying at this house too long.

Suddenly, the door unlocked, as a blonde-haired young male walked into the house panting. "I'm here! I'm here…" he shouted.

As the boy then walked into the room, so that Miia could get a good look at him. He was a nice-looking lad, with blonde hair and, was it, whisker marks? He didn't look like an interspecies— and besides, an interspecies couldn't become a host, so she just assumed that they were some type of birthmark. He was well muscled, fit, and she would admit that he looked kind of handsome; definitely her type.

Not that it mattered.

"Ah, you must be Miia," he said, before he noticed something.

"Why yes, and you're—" she didn't quite get his name, not that she would get the chance.

Before she could even finish her sentence, he was gone.

Running out of the room and even deeper into his house, faster than she could fathom. Probably talking to Smith-san about getting a different interspecies to host. It was always like this; people just didn't like a snake-girl like her. And they weren't willing to accommodate her large size, which was required to deal with. No, they would much rather prefer a smaller, cuter interspecies; that was what they would rather go with.

She put her palms to her hips, right on her tail as she leaned on them, looking down, as she shivered slightly. It was always like this…

Nobody was willing to take in a lamia like her. They just…

"Here you go…" The boy's voice entered her ears again, and before she knew it, a blanket had been placed on her tail, one large enough to accommodate her and cover her completely.

Much to her surprise, she didn't feel as cold anymore.

"Sorry about that, Rito must have turned down the AC before he left, we'll have to remember that, since you're a snake and I heard snakes can't handle the cold very well," he apologized.

Before he smiled towards her, and actually smiled. Something that Miia hadn't quite expected, and hadn't quite seen before. Usually, the host families just gave her an indifferent look or a fake look of hospitality. Even Mrs. Smith didn't smile too much with her, and if it was, it wasn't a big as his was.

No, his smile seemed to envelope the entire room. He was like the sun, warming up all that saw him.

"Name's Naruto and I heard you're going to stay with us," he introduced.

Miia realized she liked his smile…

As her heart skipped a beat.

(Present)

"I remember it like it was yesterday. Lamias are half-snakes, and because of that, people tend to be afraid of us when they meet us for the first time. Sometimes they are even afraid of us, so I was pretty nervous about how my next host family would react to me. But you… You weren't afraid at all. In fact, you were worried about me," Miia explained, still gripping onto his hand. "And you're smile, such a genuine look of compassion from a human was completely new for me, and it made me happy," she told him.

"It made me so happy, my heart was beating…"She took his hand, moving it down further.

"Miia, what are you—" Naruto tried to say, but it was too late.

As Miia brought his hand up to her left breast. "-just like it is now… " she told him.

Naruto's hand immediately clutched onto it, the first thing he could say was that they were soft, warm even, to the point he didn't even mind the feeling.

If he were being honest, he could probably hold them forever, and he would be alright.

"Mmmm…. Naruto, you can keep your hand on me, I don't mind if you do," she moaned slightly at his thought, as Naruto unconsciously felt her clothed breast, and she blushed. "I don't know why people are afraid of me, I mean, I'm harmless."

As she got close to him, so close that he could feel her breath across his skin. "Can't you see how harmless I am, I mean… You could do whatever you want to me; I won't complain. I don't care about to rules or laws. Just as long as it's you…" she whispered.

His fingers twitched, he felt her heart beat sporadically, and his own was beating fast as well. To the point he could hear it thunder inside his chest.

Bump. Bump. Bump.

"Though, I'll admit, I'm not a very good girl." Before she bit her lip, slightly looking down, "and i get pretty jealous, and seeing you with Lala. And as much as it pains me, I can see why you like her. I mean, she's rather beautiful, and even though she's an alien, she looks normal… " she twitched her snake tail a little, it was rather large, and even when they were on this small part of the sidewalk she almost took up the entire space. "... not like a snake-girl like me."

A few tears fell down her face as she cried. Naruto was surprised that the girl was confessing everything to him here and now, and if he were being honest, he didn't know how to react to it.

"I just… I don't want to be replaced, not in your heart. I don't think I can take that," she told him.

As Naruto gulped, seeing her golden eyes filled with tears like that, he just needed to do something.

He just had to tell…

"M-miia, I-I—" he tried to say, but he was cut off.

"Ahaha! Would look at that, it's that snake girl again!" "What? Eww, not again." "Yup! And that guy is feeling her up! Guess he thought her tits were good, though I don't think he'd wanna deal with her bottom half!" "Ew… do you think she has a vagina? That's gross!"

Suddenly, a group of onlookers came walking by, a male and a female couple, as they were pointing at the two. Naruto recognized them as two of the people in the crowd that looked at them before. They were some of the rowdiest of the bunch, and definitely the ugliest.

As the ugly male walked up to him, "Hey man, you couldn't get a normal girl to hook up with, so you had to choose this chick. I'd bet you could have gotten someone way better…!" he tried to reason.

He had no idea why someone would choose a girl like her. Though she had a pretty good top half, she was quite the looker too, but that bottom half was just a major turn-off, and it would make sense for just about any male to run the other direction.

As Miia held her tail back, shaking. She wanted to do something, to lash out at him, to hit him. But of course, due to the laws set in place, if she were to hurt someone, she would be sent back to her homeland and kicked out of the interspecies system. And Naruto would get in major trouble… she couldn't allow that.

And besides, it's not like she didn't expect this sort of outcome. Most people just weren't able to handle seeing a lamia, and it wasn't like she wasn't used to being ridiculed.

Though what she didn't expect was for Naruto to have the same reaction as well.

"Why you…" Naruto tried to say, as his free hand shook. He held his anger back, although just barely.

The ugly male could see that he wasn't reacting well, as he held his hands up.

"Whoa, whoa, if you like snake-pussy like that, then it's up to you. Though me personally I would never date a girl like that.I couldn't handle my duck rubbing against her scales and—"

Whammmm!

Instantly, Naruto's fist hit the man's face so fast he wasn't able to react, and he was sent flying.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Naruto shouted, fist red from the impact. Though he didn't care, he only cared about getting this man to be quiet. "I don't care what you think about her, Miia is someone precious to me, and I won't allow anyone of you people to insult her!" He told them.

As the man nursed his broken face as he was knocked along the ground, his mind ringing, he may have even gotten a concussion.

Instantly, the woman tried to pull her phone out to call the police, but Naruto stopped her. "You know, even though my mom taught me to respect all women, it's people like you who made my friend sad. That's why I won't hold anything back with people like you!" the blonde told her, instantly stopping her from doing anything.

Before Naruto turned to Miia, she was stunned by Naruto's actions. "Come on, Miia, we should probably get back to the others before we get in any more trouble," Naruto told her, and she nodded, unable to speak.

Miia and Naruto were both silent as they walked the streets, trying to regroup with the rest of their friends.

Neither spoke a word, though Naruto did sense several looks Miia's way, and she did the same.

Naruto, because he still couldn't believe what Miia had said and what she had done to him. He thought back to their relationship and the time they had met.

Back then, he hadn't thought much of the gesture when he gave that blanket to her. He just thought that Miia looked cold, as her host, he should do something about it. It was simple. He had known his mother was looking into hosting a lamia, so of course, he wasn't surprised by her appearance; he just saw it as natural.

He wasn't going to discriminate against her because she looked different; he thought the action was stupid.

He didn't know he didn't make such an impression on her then.

As he thought back to what she had said, and more importantly, her touch…

The feel of her body against his, as he unconsciously flexed his palm in remembrance of such warmth.

Honestly, he wouldn't mind feeling such a heat again…

But as for the girl, Miia couldn't believe what Naruto had done.

As Naruto, her darling, had stood up for her. Punching the people who laughed at her, despite the consequences. Like a knight in shining armour, he had saved her.

A part of her had worried that Naruto felt the same as they did, as all the rest of the people she interacted with. That they were nice just because they had to be, and that it was all fake.

But the rest of her knew that wasn't true, and that she was being paranoid.

Naruto was kind and thoughtful. He didn't care that she was a lamia, or that she acted differently from most girls, or had some strange tendencies. He cared for her and fought for her when she needed it.

He was one of a kind, different from all the others she had met.

Honestly, it was why she…

"Ah, Naruto, there you are!" A voice shouted, instantly knocking her out of her thoughts. It was Lala's, as well as the rest of the group. "We've been looking all over for you, where'd you go?" the alien questioned.

A faint dust of pink filled Naruto's face at the memory of entering the lingerie shop, though he quickly turned his face, answering. "Oh, we went about, decided to get some fresh air to cool off."

"Well, that's good!" Lala sounded, oblivious to the risque interactions the two had with one another.

"Yeah, where'd you go? I had to hold everything, damnit!" Rito shouted, as Naruto could see that he was holding several bags that the two girls had bought during their shopping trip, as well as all the stuffed animals Naruto had won previously.

Though everyone ignored him.

"Hey, 'ruto?" Mikan spoke up, licking a popsicle in hand. "You get everything you needed sorted out?" she asked him.

As Naruto turned to look at Miia, who then nodded slightly, thinking about everything that had happened. "Yeah… Yeah, we did," he answered, nodding as well.

"That's great!" Lala sounded, as she brought notice to the outfit that she was wearing.

"Mikan and I picked this outfit! Naruto, doesn't it look great?" Lala asked.

It was a new set of clothing that consisted of a red short-sleeved top with a white frilly collar. As well as a simple, plain white short skirt with a light blue bow tied at her waist, showing off her legs. Her hair was slightly different, too, as she now had two hair ties tying the two strands that framed her face at chin level. Overall, this was a fairly cute outfit, one that absolutely suited Lala's cute nature.

As Naruto looked her over, nodding. "Yup, it looks pretty good on you," he agreed, although Miia frowned slightly, something he did pick up on.

"And Miia?" Lala spoke up.

"What is it, Lala?" Miia asked, not sure why she was being dragged into the conversation.

As Lala went over to the bags Rito was holding, nearly skipping on her feet as she giggled. "Well, I know you said you didn't want us matching outfits, but… I got you this as well!" She chirped. Sure enough, as she reached into her bag, she pulled out a nearly identical outfit still on its hangers.

"I think this would look really good on you. Here, Naruto, don't you think?" she inquired. The pink-haired princess lining up the clothes over Miia's body.

"Hmmm?" Miia asked, interested in his answer, as she was surprised by the question as well.

As Naruto imagined both of the two girls in the same outfit, and he could admit, it was a nice thought… "Yeah, I think it would look pretty nice on you," he told her, giving a thumbs up, as Miia blushed at his words.

Lala nodded happily. "Right! It was really hard to pick an outfit that would fit both of us, especially because you're so beautiful, Miia!"

Miia was honestly surprised by the compliment, and she didn't really know what to say.

Nevertheless, she would take the praise, even if it was from Lala.

"Umm… thank you. You know, I suppose you're pretty beautiful as well…" She decided to give a compliment to her in addition.

As Lala's eyes widened in excitement. "Really? That's great!" Lala shouted, nearly jumping on her feet, happy that they were finally getting along.

Miia thought that Lala was an unusual character. Odd, might be the right word. Though, she could admit, she was a pure soul with a good heart. The kind of person who could warm up to anyone, given enough time.

That was just think kind of person she was.

Honestly, she didn't know why she was jealous of the girl.

She could see that Naruto cared about Lala, but she could also Naruto cared for her as well.

…And that was all that mattered.

The group of five decided to get something to eat after hitting the town. Eating at a restaurant that was friendly to all species, they decided to head home, unloading all the things they had bought into their respective rooms. Reuniting with Kurama, who had decided to use the day to catch up on some sleep since the house had been rather loud as of late.

Soon the night was upon them, as they all went to their respective rooms. That was, of course, not counting…

"Hey, I know, today was a big day and all, but Miia, why are you here?" Naruto asked, lying in his bed, ready to go to sleep.

As Miia blushed slightly, cuddling up next to his arm, "Well, Darling, it was kind of chilly tonight, so I wanted to warm up with you."

"I see…" Naruto said, trying to understand her reasoning. "And Lala?"

On his other side, Lala was lying next to him, snuggled up to his opposite arm. "Haha, because I thought it would be fun!" she told him, naked as the day she was born— which didn't make sense since they had bought her quite a few night gowns.

"Okay," Naruto said, nodding as if he could see the logic. "And then, Miia, why are you naked too?"

As Miia blushed even harder, just like Lala, she was also naked. Naruto had thought he would have at least had the liberty of Miia being dressed in times like these, but it seemed like that wasn't the case.

"B-because why can Lala be naked and not me?!" she stuttered out, not wanting Lala to be the only one naked in the bed.

"Uh-huh…" Naruto said thoughtfully, as if everything made sense to him. "Well, I'm tired, I'm going to go to sleep now," he said, rolling over.

He would deal with this in the morning.

As both girls snuggled against him, though both noticed that the bed was rather overcrowded, with not much room for space for the both of them,

Miia moved her body forward to look at Lala, not liking that she was in her bed naked with her Darling."Okay, new rule starting tomorrow, first person to get in the bed gets to stay the night, no exceptions!" She announced, establishing the first-come come first-served basis.

Whoever got into the bed with Naruto first would get to be the one to sleep with him that night, and nobody else. That would be the rule.

"Okay~!" Lala chirped; she didn't really care about the matter.

Miia nodded, determined to be the first one to win out every time.

What? She decided she didn't hate Lala.

But that didn't mean that she wasn't her rival in the love for her darling.

As all three drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

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

Omake: Yui's punishment.

"Again, the Kanji is off with this one!" Yui's voice sounded out throughout the classroom.

As Naruto's 'punishment' for his behavior was put into effect. The girl made it known to him that she wouldn't tolerate Naruto leaving school under any circumstances, as well as what he did to her when he left the area, feeling her up.

Here she was having the blonde write 'I will not be scandalous or perverted' 500 times in writing on the school board… in all three forms of Japanese writing: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji respectively.

Naruto sighed, being forced to write the phrase again, his hand was starting to hurt, and he was getting pretty hungry.

He wondered how much longer this would take.

"Man, she's got Naruto working like a slave driver," Rito couldn't help but comment. Some of the students watched what was happening for various reasons. Some because they didn't like Naruto, and others because they wanted to see how long Yui would keep such a punishment up.

As Saruyama laughed rather perversely, "Damn, I didn't know Yui was such a dommy mommy… hehe…"

This was something that Naruto heard, as he couldn't stop his mind from wandering.

As the miniature Jiraiya within his head started to give him ideas in the form of a thought bubble. "Damn, Naruto, a dommy mommy, she's definitely the freaky type. Imagine the possibilities she can give you!" The toad hermit announced.

Projecting a rather interesting image of Yui in a dominatrix outfit made of a dark leather outfit that consisted of a pair of panties with long black gloves and boots. And a bra that was more like a few pieces of leather that covered under and around her breasts, leaving much of them exposed, showing her under and over-boob and really only covering her nipples. She had a whip in her hand and a rather seductive smirk on her face.

Yui slapped him out of his thoughts, dissipating the thought bubble he had been projecting.

The disciplinarian blushed, as if reading his thoughts.

"N-Naruto, I will ask you to refrain from such scandalous and perverted thoughts," she stuttered out.

"Now, back to writing!" She told him.

As Naruto rolled his eyes.

…Right, dominatrix wasn't too far off from her personality.

End Chapter.

An: There we go, it hasn't been too long since an update to this fic but I wanted to keep it going. This of course being after the whole Lala debuachle, and this chapter was mainly focusing on Miia.

Miia's insecurities, Miia's inability to accepting living with Lala as a competitor, and well, we see how that goes. I also thought it would be funny for Lala to just… not know what an interspecies is. I mean, Lala sees aliens, it wouldn't surprise her that some humans have tails.

The last scene will be pretty important with most girls following such a rule... mostly.

Special thanks to all those that left a review.

This story will also be a Multi-pairing, with characters not only from TLR but Musume like we see, Feel free to suggest who you want added and why and I might listen.

Next chapter: an introduction to another monster, maybe two.

Please Leave me lots and lots of NICE reviews.
