KB Chapter 9

"Aahh fuck" said Naruto staring at Elina for a second then looks to the other side of him and saw Risty, Aki and Leina looking at him "ah Aki-chan how's it going imouto" Naruto ask as he completely forgot about Elina.

Walking up to him Aki had a smile seeing him "I'm doing pretty well nii-san, so what did you do this past week? Meet any girls while you were alone" she ask wanting to tease her older triplet a little.

"Actually yes I did, how the hell did you know" he responds with a baffled expression on his face while staring at her.

Chuckling a little Aki just shook her head "enough of this" shouts Elina dashing towards Naruto with her spear poised to his heart, seeing her run at him Naruto held out his hand and snap his fingers, when he did that three small blue transparent blades appeared and shot at her fast.

Seeing the blades coming at her she knock two away but the third one, she barely manage to dodge with a cut appearing on her right shoulder "DIE" Elina shouted mere centimetres away from his throat.

BOOM

Before she could pierce his throat the area around them suddenly flash a bright light and the loud boom rang their ears, dust covered everyone's vision for a couple of seconds and as it was dissipating they couldn't help but hear static, as the dust thinned light started to shine through. There stood Naruto extending both of his hands out at the lightning they saw he was holding it back, throwing his arms to the side Naruto diverts it towards the water surrounding the castle electrocuting the fishes in the moot.

Shaking his arms he shouts "fuck that hurt, why didn't I just jump out of the way" as he was trying to get feeling back to his hands.

They heard footsteps coming from the wooden bridge so turning their heads they saw a relatively tall woman, about 5'8" with long red hair and bright green eyes. It was also easy to notice her curvy body, like her large chest of 89 (35) and her alluring waist of 60 (24) and hips of 87 (34). She wore a metal breastplate and a long two-handed Claymore sword resting on her shoulder "Elina give them their reward, or are you trying to sully the Counts reputation" this beautiful red head said in a calculative tone.

Hearing her say that the younger blond tensed a little at the stern expression on the red head face "I'm sorry sister" Elina said with a small hint of fear in her voice. The red head then turn her attention towards Naruto who was still shaking his hand from the lightning he deflected earlier "it's good to see you again Uzumaki-dono" she said to him in a respectful tone slightly bowing to the demon hunter.

Getting the feeling back to his hand Naruto look to the red head with a smile "it's good to see you as well Claudette-chan" he greets back happy to see a good friend and spar partner.

Risty steps forward saying "enough talk, when am I going to get my money" getting bored of standing around listening to them talk.

"Here is you reward for bringing Leina back" Claudette said grabbing a bag of coins hanging from her belt.

Smirking Risty went to grab the bag only to have Claudette grip onto her wrist "but you are a wanted criminal" the thundercloud general said with lightning striking her sword electrocuting Risty in the process "Risty-chan" Aki shouts grabbing onto Rebellion and charged at Claudette.

Stepping in front of Aki Naruto grabs her wrist stopping her advance on the thundercloud general "Naruto-nii get out of the way" Aki said trying to get out of her brother's hold.

"Excuse my imouto Claudette, but Risty-chan is under our family's protection so I ask that she be left in my care" lied Naruto not wanting his sister to fight Claudette right now 'good thing I stepped in before Aki tapped into her part of Kyuubi's chakra' he thought glancing at Aki seeing her eyes went from red back to her usual color. Staring at the blond Claudette saw the hint of relief in his eyes as he was glancing at his sister with concern.

Thinking it over for a second Claudette nods her head at the demon hunter turning around she begins to walk back to the castle then stops "you might want to keep a mindful eye on your friend" she said in a stern tone glancing at him. Nodding his head Naruto signalled for his sister to pick up Risty and carry her inside.

(Scene break)

The doorway leading to the throne of count Vance open to show Naruto, Aki and Risty walking out of said room, while walking they saw Elina with hated disgust on her face "The count has ask me to take you to your rooms Uzumaki-dono" she said with a lot of venom in her voice at the last part.

Walking behind her Risty got closer to Naruto and started asking him question in a whisper "so what did you do to get little miss sunshine, pissed at you" wanting to know why Elina was acting the way she was. Smiling Aki leans close as well and says "because last time we were here the count wanted to give Naruto Leina's hand in marriage" getting a surprised look on Risty's face "no way really" she said looking to Naruto.

"Yeah but I refused, telling him I don't believe in arrange marriages, but I did say I would like to get to know her better" he whispers back not wanting their escort to hear him. "Funny thing is he also offered Claudette's hand as well after Naru-nii told him that" Aki added remembering what Naruto told her about that job.

After a few minutes of chatter between Risty and Aki, they came up to one of the many guest rooms of count Vance's castle "this should be crevice for the three of you dogs" Elina said turning around and walk past them heading somewhere, watching her turn the corner Naruto opens the door and walked in with Risty and Aki following after. Upon entering the room they saw how big it was, the room had smooth stone walls, cobble stone flooring, two beds and a sofa with a table in the centre of the room an open glass door leading to a balcony, the drapes were dark red and made from a soft fabric.

*Whistle*

"Not a bad place" Risty said looking around the room.

"The last one I got was way nicer then this" Naruto commented walking towards the sofa

"Same as usual, I'm guessing" he stated hopping on the couch sinking in as he landed.

(Later at Night)

We find the young countess to-be Leina Vance standing on the balcony of the castle staring up at the moons deep in thought.

(Flashback)

"What do you think you were doing, pulling this kind of stunt" scold Claudette staring at her younger sister with a bit of fury in her eyes "I don't wish to be the countess, I figured that if I left, it would be passed on to you since you are the most deserving of the title" Leina answered.

SMACK

A red mark was left on Leina's right cheek from the slap Claudette just gave her "the Count has already decided on who would be his successor" she said turning around and walked away from her sister.

(Flashback End)

'I know Claudette, but I don't wish to be his successor I wish to be free' she thought to herself staring down at the fountain in the yard. "Leina-chan, why are you out here" ask someone walking up to her snapping her from her thoughts, Leina turns around to see it was Naruto in regal clothing "Naruto" she said with surprise in her voice at seeing him in those kind of clothing and couldn't help but let a little dust of pink creep on her cheeks.

"So what are you doing out here alone" Naruto ask stepping next to her with a smile on his face. Hearing his question Leina turn away from him.

"I'm just in deep thought" she answered him not wanting to talk about her problems.

Standing next to her Naruto stared up at the moons then to Leina and whispers to her "be prepared to leave tonight" a confused expression crossed her face. She turns to ask Naruto what he was talking about, only to see he was gone and a small swirl of leaves floated where he was standing. Unknown to the both of them they were being watch from afar "Leina-Onee-chan" said a blond haired girl as she disappeared to follow the demon hunter.

"I finally found you Leina" said a voice from the fountain in the courtyard.

(With Naruto)

Appearing behind the red head he was looking for, he silently approached her and "RRRRRRRAAAAAWWWWWRRRR" This in turn scared the living day light out of her and swung her morning star at the one responsible for her scare, ducking under the swing Naruto couldn't help but laugh at the red head for being scared so easily "ha ha ha...I can't haha believe that worked on you Risty-chan" Naruto said in between laughs, this in turn ticked Risty off "shut up" she simply said turning back to the treasure she was nabbing.

"well let's hurry up, I still got to pick someone up" Naruto said aloud looking around room as he was glancing at the many glass cases, one caught his eye and walk up to it "nice" he said staring at the item in the case.

(Outside Leina's Bedroom)

"Damn, she kicked me out before we could do anything" said Elina snapping her fingers at not being able to sleep with her sister.

"you two stand guard and make sure no one gets in or out" she ordered the sentries walking away from them.

"Yes mi 'lady" they both responded saluting the blond woman.

Hearing her younger sister from inside the room Leina sat on her bed thinking back to what Naruto said earlier "be prepared to leave" she still wondered if he was serious about what he said.

Sighing to herself she laid back on her bed thinking back to how handsome he was in his clothes and couldn't help a warm feeling swell up in her letting a blush grace her cheeks 'Naruto-kun' she moaned out.

(Time skip)

Tap tap tap

Opening her eyes slowly a glimmer of confusion crossed through her eyes for a minute, then realization as she heard the tapping again, sitting up she turn towards the sound and saw it was coming from her window.

Getting up from her bed Leina cautiously walked up to the drapes and pull open the drapes and went wide eyed at seeing.
