Chapter 5

A conflict of interests

XxxxX

Deciding to cut in before shit hit the fan Nekomane said "alright you two that's enough, Saizou-kun you're entitled to your opinion as much as everyone else but Naruto-kun has a point; the only true way we can coexist with humans is to actually interact with and be accepted by them and any act of violence done by wither side'll only widen the divide between us. This academy was founded with the hope of one day being accepted by the humans no matter how flawed our policy is. So please stop your bickering so we can continue class" she finished with a hint of finality.

To say that the class was surprised by their teachers sudden change in demeanor would be an understatement. Something about what the younger blond said definitely made its' desired impact on her and she was rather impressed by his maturity as well as the wisdom in his words.

Whether they realized it or not Narutos' presence in youkai gakuen would only be the start of the great chain of events that were about to unfold. And what ever may happen, one thing was for sure both Naruto and Moka would be at the center of it all one way or another.

"I'm not here for your entertainment, I'm here because I made a promise and come hell or high water I intend to keep it!"-Uzumaki Naruto

XxxxX

Moka's life just kept getting more and more troublesome it seemed. Life just loved throwing curve balls her way, first was that incident with kuyou and almost losing Tsukune then all of a sudden here comes Naruto literally falling back into her life without so much of a warning. Things were supposed to be simple, she was hoping against hope they would be. She had everything planned out or did she? Wasn't her grand goal to "win" Tsukune? Wasn't it her goal to be with him? Was that really the case? If so what else was there? Was that truly the extent of her goals? Did she even have a plan for after she graduated from the academy? Sure she could try and become the head of her family, they were very successful and very influential in the monster world but there was one thing wrong with that…she lacked the power and influence to do so. Well at least her outer self did, her inner self maybe.

One thing was for sure though, she seriously needed to reevaluate her goals, for both their sake. And then there was the problem with Naruto; the more she thought about him the more her chest would tighten and the brighter the blush on her face became. "Is my heart really wavering? What about Tsukune? He's the only one who can remove my Rosario, shouldn't that make him my true love? Oh what am I going to do?"

Suddenly she was cut off from her inner monologue when the class room door opened up and low and behold the center of all her thoughts walked in, yep life had it out for her. She stood up half expecting this would happen "Na-Naruto!" She said in somewhat surprise. He looked towards her and gave her a wave and his signature "foxy" grin "yo moka-chan!" He said with a hint of mirth in his voice, she had to admit he looked a little silly wearing an orange blazer of all things but it wasn't too unexpected.

Something about the way he greeted her made her blush, was it how he said it? Or was it his smile? Or was her inner self influencing her, they do have history after all, suddenly a thought occurred to her "wait if my inner self likes him and he knows her would that mean he likes her? What about me? Wait why am I even thinking this!?"

Her inner monologue was cut off again when her very first or at least her inner self's first enemy showed up Komiya Saizou; a tall jerk of a youkai who tried to have his way with her when she first started at the academy.

I should've killed him when I had the chance. Said her inner self with a hint of venom, the rosette didn't totally disagree with this. She then watched as he approached the young blond. "I hope he doesn't get hurt" she thought in worry for the young ninja.

He'll be fine, Naruto is strong; Saizou doesn't stand a chance against him.

Hearing her inner self acknowledge someone else's strength was a strange feeling. Then again she shouldn't be surprised the boy did train like a madman and he and her inner self did spar on a regular basis when they were kids. Granted they would tie all the time but with each spar his skills would grow, the man was like a sponge when it came to battle experienceand in his line of work that was a must have in order to survive.

She watched in slight amusement as he challenged Saizou, she grinned when he wouldn't back down from the brunette's attempt at intimidating him. And then she realized the one thing that her inner self admired so much about him; his determination, his sheer drive and unwillingness to give up was something that would give him great power, if it hasn't already.

She watched as Saizou made his way past the blond and openly call out Tsukune in front of everyone, stating how much of a coward he was and that he couldn't do anything without her. To a degree it was true; he always had a habit of pulling off her Rosario whenever there was trouble. Was it because he was human? Was he using her as a shield? Or was he just that dependant on others. Naruto certainly wasn't, again where were these thought coming from?

She was taken out of her musings when the blond chose the seat next to her. She turned to say something to him but he cut her off saying they would talk later. She really didn't expect him to act the way he did when their teacher explained the school's policy against humans; his reaction was the same yet totally different form Tsukune's. Of course Saizou would choose this time to put his two cents in, naturally Naruto didn't agree.

Just as he was about to confront the school delinquent she got up and grabbed him while Tsukune quickly darted across the room and blocked his path. The rest was history after that.

XxxxX

The rest of class went by relatively uneventful. Nekomane continued her lecture as if nothing happened while the rest of the class paid close attention, well most of the class, Naruto not so much; he was dead last at the ninja academy for a reason after all. Moka had to poke him a few times to get him to wake up from his nap, much to his dismay.

XxxxX

"Naruto-kun wait a moment please." Asked the Nekomane-sensei just as the blond was about to make his way to his next class.

"Did you need something sensei?" Inquired the blond.

"Yes well first I would like to apologize for what I said about our policy against humans. And you're right about it being messed up, now that I think about it, it is rather hypocritical of us to teach our students how to behave like humans yet threaten to kill any if they are found here" admitted the teacher causing the young ninja to smile softly.

"It's fine sensei, I know it's not your fault; you're not the one who made the policy and I'm not mad at you for something you're not responsible for" said the blond sagely causing his teacher to smile.

"I'm glad to hear that, oh and there's actually one thing I'd like to ask before you go" stated the Cat youkai.

"And that is?" Inquired the blond. Suddenly his teacher's personality seemed to do a complete one eighty "Have you decided what clubs you're going to join?" She asked with a smile.

All she got in response was a confused look, "oh I see, the headmaster must not have told you about our clubs, you see every student here is required to join at least one club so that they can gain a better understanding of what it's like to live in human society. I'm surprised he hasn't told you about this though" she said while tapping her left index finger to her lower jaw in thought.

"Well if that's the case then I don't see why not. It could be fun, you have any recommendations for me?" Her smile seemed to grow even more "why yes actually I do! Join the newspaper club, it's a club that I personally supervise and who knows you may even make a few friends there" she finished with a hint of excitement at adding a new member to her club. The blond stood there pondering this offer, seeing his hesitation she continued "plus Moka-san's in that club' she said while looking off in the distance. Hearing this the blond immediately responded "well if she's there I don't see why not, plus it'll give us a chance to catch up."

"Well then welcome to the newspaper club Naruto-kun, if you want I can have Moka-san show you where we meet." Making his way towards the door he responded "Nah it's alright I'll just ask her myself when I see her."

XxxxX

"Naruto wait!" Cried out the pinkette causing the blond to turn around as he made his way down the hall. "Hey Moka-chan I was looking for you actually" he said with a smile. "R-Really?" Was her reply "yeah apparently I'm supposed to join a club or something, and somehow I ended up joining the newspaper club, and sensei said that you'd show me where you guys meet."

Part of her was jumping for joy at the moment, it was probably her inner self. However, she was conflicted; on one hand she would be in the same club as her oldest friend and on the other was the potential problems this would cause with Tsukune. However, she couldn't ignore the expectant look he was giving her "W-well yeah I'd be happy to show you, I'm actually meeting up with everyone for lunch right now, would you like to join us?" Shrugging his shoulders he replied "sure I don't see why not, it'd be a good chance to get to know everyone anyway."

XxxxX

"By the way Naruto I've been needing to ask you something" said the pinkette causing the blond to look at her quizzically "sure ask away" was the blonds' reply. Gathering up her courage she asked the one thing that had been on her mind since he literally dropped in on her. "Do you hate me?"

Stopping in surprise the blond retorted "what do you mean!?" turning to him she replied "for not coming to see you, for abandoning you five years ago. For not staying to fight when those men in masks came to take you away, or when…you were consumed by that strange youki."

She was about to continue when he cut her off and embraced her "look what happened back then wasn't your fault, neither of us could've known what those bastards were up to. I don't hate you Moka-cham, never have, never will. If anything it was my fault for the way things turned out, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect you back then, but that's all in the past, I've grown stronger and I intend to keep my promise to you and your family."

Smiling she returned his embrace and felt her chest tightening again "maybe this's what I've been searching for" then an image of Tsukune flashed through her mind and she immediately broke away from the young ninja. "I'm sorry it's just" she averted her gaze and tried to think of something to say but nothing would come out.

Slightly taken aback by her actions he eventually caught on and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck while smiling sadly "he's really that important to you isn't he?"

She refused to make eye contact and gave her answer by quickly walking past him muttering something about hurrying up and meeting with everyone. Watching her walk away the blond thought to himself "doesn't matter what dimension I'm in, seems I'll always be rejected by the one I want to protect the most, oh well if that's her choice I won't interfere, I just hope she'll be happy." He slowly followed her, fortunately of unfortunately their little exchange wouldn't go unnoticed by a certain succubus and yuki onna who both looked at each other in silent victory while they secretly hatched a plan to eliminate the competition for Tsukune. Nodding to each other they rushed to their meeting spot and unknown to all there was a certain fox who wouldn't allow the same scene to play out before him.

This is not going to end up like last time, I am not going to watch while he makes himself a martyr again, not this time. Kurama thought to himself, he would have to have a serious talk with his vessel later.

XxxxX

Moka's silver haired persona watched what had transpired between her outer self and her childhood friend. She watched as he embraced the pinkette just as he did her all those years ago. She watched as her outer persona openly rejected him as well and she wasn't exactly happy about that, she wanted to brake free and rush over to him and tell him to forget what just happened, she wanted to let him know that it was him that occupied a place in her heart and not Tsukune. She wanted so many things but for now she would have to wait, her outer self's feelings were beginning to shift, her heart was wavering, it was only a matter of time.

Our blond ninja watched one of the strangest things he haad ever seen transpire before him; Tsukune being suffocated, by breasts, granted a small part of him was jealous of that fact, then again what healthy red blooded male his age wouldn't be? He took a seat next to moka as he quietly listened to the group converse among themselves, or rather argue over who would get with the brunette. And all he did was laugh nervously and pretend like nothing was happening and would talk with Moka more than everyone else, he also noticed the look that Kurumu would give him every time Tsukune would ignore her and speak with the rosette. It was a look he knew all too well because it was the same look he would have every time he saw Sakura make advances toward Sasuke and ignore/reject anything he did for her. "Things never really change do they?" He thought to himself .

Naruto

"I know, can feel them too, wanna take em out?"

No, it's best to wait this out, wouldn't wanna cause a scene.

"Got it."

XxxxX

"Geez that kurumu doesn't know when to stop does she? I swear that was the most questions anyone's ever asked me. Groaned an irritated blond as he observed Tsukune, for some reason he seemed to be in some real pain. "Well it can't be helped, she did want to know how we know each other after all." Replied the rosette "yeah well she didn't have to be so forceful I mean come on I thought I thought I was gonna have to run for it when I told her I didn't want to show her the rasengan." They were interrupted by the sound of papers dropping looking over they noticed that the brunette seemed to be in some serious pain "What's wrong Tsukune!?" Exclaimed Moka as both her and Naruto checked on him, the fact that he kept feeling a certain part of his neck didn't go unnoticed by the blond.

"Y-yeah I'm fine" replied the brunette weakly "what's wrong with me? Why is this bite mark hurting so much!?" Suddenly his vision became blurry and the last thing he saw was a fading image of Moka before he finally collapsed.

"The hell was that about?" thought the blond as he examined Tsukune, he noticed what seemed to be a bite mark on the teen's neck "hey Moka-chan, what's with his neck?"

Looking over she replied "this is a mark that my inner self left when she injected him with vampire blood." She said solemnly, all the blond could do is give her a dumb struck look as she continued "we were in a fight with the public safety committee and Tsukune was trying to protect me and nearly lost his life because of it and the only way to save him was to inject him with vampire blood." The blond seriously didn't like where this was going.

Seems you've noticed

"Kurama?"

The vampire blood that she injected him with is slowly eating away at this boy's humanity. Basically it's the same as when you lost control of my power and became a miniature version of me. Slowly but surely he's becoming a monster just like you were not too long ago.

The news seemed to strike a chord within the ninja as he was now officially worried about

Tsukune "we're really not all that different are we? Maybe we might get along after all" thought the blond as he prepared himself for a fight. If this was anything like when he would lose control when he went into the four tails state, things were gonna get ugly fast.

XxxxX

This idiot

"Ura?"

This is what he gets for resisting too much, the vampire blood I injected him with is slowly starting to spread throughout his body, it's slowly ravaging his body as we speak. Call it a side effect if you will, I naïve to think that nothing would happen.

"You mean our blood is hurting Tsukune!?" Suddenly Tsukune grabbed his head in pain.

Suddenly Naruto grabbed the Rosario "the hell do you mean a side effect!? Just what did you do Moka-chan!?" Taken aback by his actions neither Moka could answer him though her inner self suddenly tried to retreat as far as she could into the Rosario for some reason she didn't like Naruto scolding her.

I-it's exactly as I said, it's a side effect of being injected with my blood.

(AN: gonna start using a script format for conversations going on between inner moka and kurama. Or at least for scenes including the both of them.)

(Kurama)-you were a fool then.

(Inner Moka)-Wh-who're you!?

"Kurama you can communicate with her!?"

"Naruto who's Kurama!?" Replied a shocked pinkette "moka-chan did you just read my mind!?" Looking at him in shock she replied "somehow yes, it's like I could hear your thoughts when you grabbed the Rosario."

Suddenly the blond, pinkette and surprisingly silver haired vampire found them selves in front of Kurama who noticed that they were in Naruto's seal, the only difference was that there was red mist floating around the empty void that used to be the roof of the seal. Now suddenly finding himself before the fox wasn't anything new to Naruto, what shocked him though was the fact that both Moka's were there as well.

(Kurama)-Well this is interesting. said the fox in mild amusement

(Inner Moka)-What are you!? Shouted the silver vampire.

(Kurama)-Kekeke come now you mean to tell me my none magnificent tails haven't given my identity away by now?

(Inner Moka)-Nine tails? It can't be, that means you're the-

"Kyuubi no yoko" Finished the pinkette. Suddenly she turned towards the blond "Naruto what's the Kyuubi doing here!? And more importantly where are we!?" Knowing there was no way out of this the blond lifted up his shirt revealing the shiki fuujin "this is why he's here and honestly I don't know where we are." Giving him an awestruck look the pinkette replied "you have a seal too?"

(Inner Moka)-Naruto don't tell me he's sealed in you

His only response was a nod, suddenly it all made sense; the reason why his fellow villagers attacked him, the heated glares, everything. However this only raised more questions but they would have to wait for now.

(Kurama)-Seems like our seals ended up getting linked when you made contact with that Rosary thing brat.

"How's that possible kurama!?" exclaimed the blond.

(Kurama)-Honestly I don't know, though it might have something to do with how we were brought here.

"What do you mean?" replied the blond

(Kurama)-I'm saying your little silver vampire has something to do with it, The youki I'm feeling from her is the same as the youki that dragged us out of our world. I'm not going to say it's her fault but somehow she's connected to all of this, and I'm willing to bet that headmaster may be responsible for this.

(Inner Moka)-What do you mean my youki!? Are you saying the headmaster's somehow been getting a hold of my power without me knowing it!?

(Kurama)-Yes that's exactly what I'm saying, as for how or why I couldn't say, now if you would please stop asking me questions, it's getting irritating.

Walking towards the blond the pink haired Moka asked "Naruto is this why the people of your village looked at you the way they did?" Looking at her in hesitation he replied "yeah, they hated me because of this fur ball right here though I didn't find out about him until after I officially became a ninja. Of course I couldn't tell you about it because of what happened" the blond said solemnly.

(Inner Moka)-Naruto

(Kurama)-In any case you three we need to figure out what's going on before something happens, the sooner the better would be nice. Oh and by the way you're all in danger, someone's coming

XxxxX

Cutting off their mental link Naruto let go of the Rosario and found himself face to face with the last person he needed to see right now; Komiya Saizou.

"Hahahaha! Aw what's wrong Tsukune? Not feeling well? Great! It looks like today's going to be very interesting indeed!" Exclaimed a very happy bully, the blond also took notice of the people he brought with him.

"S-Saizou!?" Exclaimed the surprised brunette "whoa there, how about instead of looking at me you watch your back, sorry but my friend's a little fast "my back!?" Questioned the brunette, he turned around to meet a strange man with blades for hands, said blades were aimed directly for the back of his neck "the name's Moroha of the outcast ayashi, sorry about this but no hard feelings ok?" Moka could only watch and shout "Tsukune look out!"

A loud clang resonated throughout the forest as Naruto intercepted the outcast with a kunai in hand, said Kunai was being used to block the blades. "Look pal I don't know what problems you have with Tsukune here but he's obviously in no condition to fight so if you don't mind, BACK OFF!" Shouted the blond as he shoved the outcast ayashi back a few feet.

Slightly shaken by the blonds' speed Moroha scoffed and said "Idon't know who you are blondie and frankly I don't care, but I'm only going to warn you once, get in my way and I'll kill you understand?"

Suddenly Saizou noticed a strange blue orb flying towards Moroha "shit! Moroha look out!"

"Wha-?" "Rasengan!" Suddenly Moroha found himself soaring and spiraling through the air towards the group of outcasts, flying by them at great speeds. "What the hell was that!?" Exclaimed Saizou as he watched his companion continue to fly though the air. He then looked back towards Tsukune's group ignoring the shocked expressions his crew were giving them.

What he saw surprised him, he thought he was seeing things but suddenly there were two Naruto's.

XxxxX

Looking towards Naruto in both shock and relief Tsukune dropped to the ground "Naruto how did you do that?" Turning and facing the brunette he replied "easy I'm a ninja" turning back towards the group of outcasts he continued "Moka-chan keep an eye on Tsukune for me." Moaking her way over to the brunette she replied "but what're you gonna do?" His only response was to raise a fist towards the group of outcasts in challenge and say "You, you let me handle them."

XxxxX

Alrighty then another chapter down, I hope that it was at least satisfactory. I know I've kept you guys waiting and that ain't cool, anyway the excuse for this time is that I've gotten my hands on Transformers fall of cybertron and I must say IT IS EPIC, but yeah I've been consumed by that and Asura's wrath; also epic, and for anyone who cares that last little bit was actually based on and inspired by a scene in the game. Also let me know if there's a way I can improve the interactions between Kurama and Inner Moka as I feel that the current format I'm using is kind of lacking. As for the poll it's going great keep it up guys and I must say it looks like the storm dragon style might win out over all, love how mugging erigor's being shot down and it doesn't look too good for the elemental nations at the moment lol. Anyway Like always guys please review I like feedback, so until next time peace out!
