Ex-Prince of Konoka, New King of Deviluke
Trouble 14: Thanks For All The Good Times!
Well...here it is...the end.
I'll have an explanation at the bottom.
########Prince########
"Wooooooow!" The eager young princess squealed in joy once their destination came into view. The great blue and green marble glistened in the light of the sun. She giggled with glee, "Oh man, I can't believe this is where Aneue has been all this time!"
"Now now, there's no reason to sound so uncouth and childish before we even arrive." The pig-tailed girl scowled and snarled at the more pompous voice coming to stop by her side. But despite what she had just said, her eyes sparkled with wonder once she spotted the planet for herself. Her hands pressed against the glass, "But...it truly is a magnificent sight to behold."
"Wow, that was a quick turn you hypocrite." The girls turned and glared at each other before turning away simultaneously with a huff. Their annoyance towards each other instantly dissolved as they looked out at the planet, "But can you believe it! Look at all that water! Can you imagine just how many animals are on that planet?!"
"Yes, and it's so green too. I'd love to get a chance to see all of the plant life it has to offer myself."
"So this is it? I can't believe we finally get to see E-arth for ourselves!"
"Earth. It's pronounced Earth girls."
The two sisters looked back at the gruff voice behind them, "Really Otou-sama? But isn't it spelled-"
"Yeah I know, it doesn't make any sense, but if you pronounce it wrong they'll never stop correcting you." The older man snickered as he jumped up on the ledge to peer out at the planet for himself. A smirk came to his face, "Can't believe I'm finding myself back here again. And can't believe Lala actually came here herself. Crazy girl."
"So Otou-sama," The softer toned girl inquired of her father, "What are we going to do when we arrive on the planet? You have plans, don't you?"
"Oh, I have plans." He snickered sinisterly, "I have plans~."
"..."
"..."
"He's gonna do something crazy, isn't he?"
"Most likely yes."

"Uhhhh, I feel sluggish."
"Were you out with Kurenai all night again? I'm sure you would be tired."
"Absolutely. Have to keep all the men off her when you two go out, don't you?" Ino snickered by Chōji's side as they ribbed the older man, "Oh the pains of dating one of the most gorgeous women around. Boooo~, hooooo-"
"Stop it or I'm putting you both on assimilation duty. You'll get to show the new arrivals how they should go to the bathroom." Asuma smirked as Ino froze and Chōji immediately went back to chowing down on his chips. The scruffy monkey looked over to the side and saw Shikamaru approaching with a tablet in hand, "What's wrong, Shikamaru? You're looking a little pale."
"Uh, yeah. We just got an alert from CHRONOS that we have a ship entering orbit and coming down in Japan."
The other members of the cell jumped to their feet in alarm, "Where are they touching down? We have to stop them before they cause a scene."
"Yeah, I don't think we'll be able to stop that from happening." Shikamaru handed over the tablet before they could ask him what he meant. Asuma stared at the screen for a minute before looking back up at Shikamaru. The deer nodded his head before Asuma looked back down.
"Well shit. This isn't going to end well."

"Ahhhhh~, its such a beautiful, wonderful new day! I wonder what we'll learn at school?" Oshizu skipped on her feet and turned to look at her caretaker who followed behind at her own pace, "What are you going to do today, Mikado-sensei?"
"Enjoy my coffee, lounge in the infirmary, and hope nobody walks in with any debilitating injuries." Ryouko answered with a long yawn. The gorgeous nurse scratched her head and mumbled under her breath that she wanted to take a nap. After handling over a dozen cases of nervous new arrivals that were panicking about the possibility of being infected with some kind of flu virus, she had actually gotten to bed well after midnight. And she would have slept in even longer if it wasn't for Oshizu waking her up.
That girl was precious but she was severely cutting into Ryouko's beauty sleep.
Another yawn slipped past her lips as she smacked them and wiped her eyes of sand, "Oshizu-chan, when we get to school can you come with me to the infirmary? I just need a nap for five minutes and I'd really appreciate if you could make me a pot of coffee too. Is that alright or do you have class duties to take care of? Oshizu-chan?"
The busty nurse looked over to see the former spirit too preoccupied with staring to answer her. Ryouko stepped back over to her side and watched the strange person down the street that garnered their attention.
"Excuse me? Have you seen a man with a long spiky tail come through here?" The girl crouched down by a gate and whispered through the bars to a patch of potted flowers, "He's about this tall? Black hair? Vicious smile? No? What about a girl that looks like me? Her neither. Oh, then my mistake." She stood back up and bowed her head respectively, "Please have a nice day."
"I-I think she's talking to the plants. Does she have a fever perhaps?" Oshizu asked the woman before walking over to speak with the new girl. The former ghost approached the pink-haired girl carefully and got her attention, "Excuse me, are you alright? Are you lost?"
"I am actually." The polite pink-haired girl nodded and turned to face Oshizu properly. She was still quite young with a youthful face and kind eyes, her pink hair curling up at the end. She was dressed in a beautiful dress of green and black and the ghost noticed the long black tail swaying from her back, "My name is Momo Belia Deviluke, it's nice to meet you."
"D-Deviluke?!" Oshizu gasped, dropping her bag before a sudden burst of wind shot it back up along with their skirts. Momo covered herself as best as possible and looked around for the origin of the strange gust of wind before the ghost girl continued, "Y-you're related to Lala-San, aren't you?! You look so similar to her!"
"Yes, I would. I am her youngest sister after all. May I ask what your name is?"
"O-oh, how rude of me! My name is Shizu Murasame, but please just call me Oshizu. I'm a friend of Lala-San's and she has taken very good care of me since I decided to come to school. It's a pleasure to meet you, Momo-San." The older girl bowed her head, getting a response in kind from the royal member. She looked back, "And this is Ryouko Mikado-sensei, my caretaker and the nurse at the school Lala-San attends as well."
Ryouko approached the two younger girls and gracefully bowed her head when Momo offered her a greeting as well. The nurse wore a casual smile as she looked at the young princess, "It's an honor to meet the third Princess of Deviluke, and also quite the surprise. If you don't mind me asking, Princess Momo, what might you be doing on this humble planet?"
"I actually came here with my family. Unfortunately we got separated when we teleported to the surface so I've been trying to find them."
"Wouldn't it be easier to wait by your ship until they returned?"
"Yes, yes it would be easier." Momo said with a tired sigh and shook her head, "Unfortunately, Otou-sama ran off the moment we arrived and my sister went chasing after him. And I've been looking for them."
Ryouko's eyes widened, "Gid Deviluke? He's here on Earth? Where is he? What is he doing?" Ryouko questioned the shorter girl before panic twisted her face, "Should we be worried?"
"W-well, I don't know, he's looking for someone..." Momo muttered, "And probably."
"He's looking for someone?" Oshizu titled her head, "Whom might that be?"
########King########
"H-here, kitty kitty kitty. Nice kitty kitty kitty." Yui slowly approached the ambling cat that escaped just out of her reach. She recognized it as the same feline that hissed and bit her before when she attempted to pet it with Haruna.
The bite marks still hurt from time to time.
The beautiful black-haired girl cooed and whispered to the little grey cat as she approached it, but it simply stood back up and padded away before she could get any closer. Yui looked heartbroken, her expression falling as her head hung and she mumbled to herself, "They don't like me. They never like me. What did I do to make the kitties hate me?"
"Hey! That's not nice at all! Come here little guy." Yui looked up in time to see a short girl with long pink hair tied up in twin-tails picking up the cat before it could round the corner. She smiled and lifted it up to face her, "She just wants to say hi. Can't you - EYAH!" She threw the cat up in the air and it easily landed on its paws before strutting away again. The pink-haired teen was breathing heavily before looking over at Yui, "I-it's probably better that you don't get involved with that guy. His thoughts...I've never heard growls and demonic grumbling like that except for those scary monsters that hunt and kill everything they see."
Yui stood back up and dusted her skirt before looking at the young stranger in the red and black outfit, "I'm sorry but are you new here? I notice your hair and your tail so might you be related to Lala-San?"
"You know my Aneue?" The younger girl smiled with joy, her sharp tooth showing itself with the stretch of her lips as she greeted the older girl, "Hi there, the name's Nana Aster Deviluke! I'm her younger sister and second princess of the Devilukean Empire!" She said with a puffed out chest and pride in her voice, "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you too, Nana-San." Yui humbly responded, "I'm Lala-San's acquaintance, Yui Kotegawa."
"Nice to meet you, Kokegawa!" Yui reeled back in surprise and made to correct her but the young princess was looking around intently for something, "Hey, have you seen someone who looks like a kid? Probably gonna try to act like one so he can nuzzle himself in your-" Nana's eyes lingered on the bountiful chest of the older girl in front of her. Her eyes narrowed in annoyance but she shook her head to dispel the thoughts as they came, "He's gonna probably be doing perverted stuff to a lot of girls."
"W-what?!" Yui shrieked, her face red with embarrassment and anger. She bristled and furrowed her eyebrows, "Where is this degenerate little pervert?! How do you know him?!"
"He's my dad."
"Then we'll find your father and give him a strict - wait what?"
########Prince########
"So if the principal ever starts drooling or dashing at you while abandoning his clothes, all you do is-"
"Squish him. Without mercy." The little assassin informed from behind her book as she joined the two older teenagers on their trek to school. Naruto opened his mouth and made to argue that she shouldn't be harming civilians, but then he remembered who they were talking about and accepted it with a shrug of his shoulders. Yami's eyes wandered up from the pages of the book, "If he doesn't bother me while I'm reading then I'm not going to hurt him."
"Yeah but you're there so he's gonna come after you." Naruto shook his head before raising an eyebrow, "Why don't you just go looking in a public library or something if you still wanna read books?"
"Because you are still my target, even if I have decided not to assassinate you at this time. So I would like to be in killing range when the day comes that my mind is changed." The poor whiskered blond paled in horror.
"Awwwwww~, Yami-chan!" Lala jumped on the short blonde's back and hugged her tightly while rubbing her face into the unamused assassin's hair, "You can just tell us if you're lonely we'll understand. We miss you too." Lala giggled and Yami just stoically allowed the nuzzling to occur, "Why don't you come join our school? Oh, you would look so cute in our uniform! You'd be the cutest kohai!"
Yami quickly freed herself of her captor and landed in front of the two. Yami let the barest amount of annoyance show in her eyes before looking back at the two older aliens. She looked down before closing her eyes in thought as her black clothing started to change. After a moment Naruto and Lala were both shocked to see Yami dressed in an outfit identical to the one Lala wore. She fixed her hair back over her shoulder, "As long as I see it then I can make any clothes necessary. These seem to suit you just fine, Princess Lala."
"Kyaaaa~!" Lala squealed with joy, "I was right! Yami-chan you look adorable like that!" She quickly started circling the girl and looking her over, "Naruto! Naruto! Don't you think she looks cute?"
Naruto looked down at the shorter girl as she stared up at him flatly. He gulped down but nodded, "Yeah, she's cute."
"Stop looking me over you with your perverse stare you filthy lecherous animal."
"H-hey that's offensive!" Naruto snapped back with a frown, "I-I mean I get the animal stuff but all the pervert things were a bit much."
"Ecchi people deserve it."
"I'm not ecchi!"
"Don't believe you."
Naruto groaned as Yami huffed and walked a little faster towards their school. Lala seemed to interpret her as being shy and giggled, "Aww~, Yami-chan was embarrassed of you seeing her."
"I don't think that's what just happened."
"Yes, Lala-sama, I think you were interpreting that very differently."
"Nah, she was embarrassed!" Lala chuckled as she spun on her heel and happily skipped the rest of the way to school. The whiskered boy sighed and hefted his bag up his shoulder as he made to follow after them.
Sometimes he was still surprised by just how much his life had changed since he met Lala. It felt like a lifetime ago that he lived in an empty house where he barely ever got company or visited by his mother.
But since the eccentric Devilukean had come his world had turned upside-down. He got 'engaged'. Fought other aliens. Saved his friends lives. Told them he was an alien. Got a hit put on him. Stopped the assassin and invited her to live with him. Met a ghost. Didn't scream like a shrill child that some people still say they can hear now. Broke Santa's leg. And saved Christmas.
Man...that was really weird and wild in hindsight.
His life had changed a lot since she arrived in his life. And honestly...he didn't want to think back to what it would be like without her. Whether he really became her husband or not, he wouldn't mind her staying here for as long as she wanted.
"Huh? What's going on?"
As Naruto approached Yami and Lala's side, he saw some kind of commotion going on at the school's entrance. He tried to focus his attention on what was causing the problem, ignoring the squeals and shrieks of shock from the girls as something blurred between them. They covered their butts when their skirts were flipped and covered their chests when something brushed against their breasts.
Naruto looked at the scene in confusion and ran to the side when he spotted Rito and Haruna, "Rito! Haruna-chan! What's going on?"
"U-Uzumaki-kun! Something is harassing all the girls!"
"We just got here and saw this thing running around and fondling all the girls!" Rito panicked, "What do we do?!"
"There it goes!"
Everyone saw the black blur speed off in a tangent away from the center of frazzled girls. They watched it speed towards Yami and Lala, the blonde assassin standing protectively in front of the princess. She saw the speedy creature jump towards them and changed her hair to block before it reached them.
Yami squeaked in shock when it dodged her shield and suddenly appeared behind her. She looked down in horror at the little hands cupping her growing chest from behind as an obnoxious voice cackled from her back, "Hahaha, so this is the rack of the most dangerous assassin? I'll be honest when I hear the name Golden Darkness I expect a stacked, sexy seductress, but to see it's just a kid not yet done growing is a little disappoint-"
"Hrr!" Yami growled as her hair turned to spikes and forced the pervert on her back to jump off before it became a pincushion. Her face had a red hue to it and she covered her chest protectively as she looked down at the little offender. Realization crossed her face for a moment but she continued to glare at him anyway, "I won't forgive anyone for touching."
"I was just interested." The child said with a laugh as he showed off his sharpened teeth with a grin, "No reason to be so defensive. Give yours of a little more time and I'm sure you'll blossom out wonderfully."
Naruto gulped as he imagined Yami was not going to take that comment lightly. Even if the kid was fast, there was a risk of him being-
"Papa, don't harass Yami-chan. You're being mean to her."
...
Lala sternly looked down at the short boy by her knees. She put her hands on her hips and stood over the short boy, frowning before she started reprimanding him, "You know Mama isn't gonna be happy if you keep groping and flirting with other girls."
"Pfft, you ain't gonna tell Sephie. Plus there really ain't anything I could be doing that she doesn't already know about." The short boy grumbled, revealing that his voice was ridiculously deep and heavier than anyone expected for someone that age. On closer inspection the others finally took note of the long black tail extending from his backside just like Lala's only sharper and more sinister looking. He grumbled like an old man and rubbed his head, "She will probably lose her shit when she finds out we made this trip though."
Naruto was too shocked to speak but fortunately Rito and Haruna stepped up to inquire what was going on, "This little kid?"
Haruna covered her mouth, "L-Lala-San, is this boy your-"
"Yep! This is my Papa, Gid Lucione Devilukean!" Lala happily replied before she turned to her father and started introducing them to him. But Naruto didn't listen, his hearing turning into a single tone as he realized what his fiancée just said.
This was her father.
The father that was offering her up to a gaggle of princes and jerks from around the galaxy.
The father that was telling him to marry and keep her happy with the whole world being held hostage.
The man who killed his father during the war.
Naruto's mind blanked and his body started to shake with barely contained rage-
"Dad!"
"Otou-sama!"
Two girls screamed out at the same time from opposite sides of the schoolyard. They looked between the identical girls as Lala gasped, "Nana! Momo!"
"Aneue!"
"Onee-sama! Wait, Nana!"
"Momo! There you are! I was looking for you!" The twin-tailed girl called out, "Why did you separate from us?!"
"I didn't! Otou-sama ran off and you chased him! I had no chance of catching you both!"
"Bah, you just didn't try hard enough."
"Ugh! There is just no reasoning with a brute like you!"
"Who are you calling a brute?!"
Haruna blinked and looked between the twins with a befuddled expression. She saw Ryouko and Oshizu standing beside the more composed girl, while Yui stared in confusion at the more brash sister. She and Rito shared a look, "Um, Lala-San, are those your sisters?"
"Yep! The one with Yui is my little sister Nana, and the one with Oshizu-chan is my youngest Momo!" Lala smiled, "I guess they came with Papa to keep an eye on him."
Gid scoffed, "Not a very good one."
"Dad, no more running away!"
"You will not escape this time, Otou-sama."
"Meh," Gid responded while he dug his pinky in his ear, "I'll think about it."
The two girls scowled and pulled out their phones in response. When they did, Peke yelled from the top of Lala's head, "W-wait, aren't those the D-Dials you gave them Lala-sama?! They aren't planning to use them-"
"Go guys!" Nana called out with a smirk as she opened her phone and summoned a plethora of large, small, and colorful animals that came charging out. But just as they approached Gin, they veered off in every other direction and headed for the students, "Oh no."
"IYAAAA! WHAT IS THIS THING?!"
"IT'S LICKING ME! EW EW EW OOOOOOOOOOH EW!"
"AH! TENTACLES ARE RUNNING UP MY LEG!"
"BEHOLD MEN! I TOLD YOU WE WOULD ONE DAY WITNESS THE RATIONAL USAGE AND FUNDAMENTAL APPLICATION IN EVERYDAY LIFE OF TENTACLES! MMMMMMMMMMMMM-"
Yami felt a slimy tentacle wrap itself around her body and lifted her off the ground. She was joined alongside several other girls who were screaming and trying to force their way out. But unlike them Yami didn't put up a fight. She couldn't. Her mind was going blank and her eyes were going hazy and her skin was becoming clammy. She hated slimy things like this. She really, really, really, really, really, really, really hated them.
"N-Nana-San!" Yui shrieked and waved her arms wildly as Nana frantically worked her phone, "W-what did you do?!"
"I-I was just trying to catch Dad! I knew he wouldn't hurt all these guys and I needed to use as many as I could for him! But I didn't realize just how desperate they were to play with others! T-this is bad! I don't think they're gonna listen to me anymore!"
Momo gave a heavy sigh and shook her head in disappointment, "Oh Nana, I can never leave you to handle anything, can I?" She started scrolling through her D-Dial, "Okay, I think I should be able to sedate all the animals with some nectar from one - eh?" She looked down to see she was floating several inches off the ground, "What's happening?!"
"Oshizu-chan, calm down! It just looks like a dog! It's not really a dog!"
Oshizu had blanked out, shaking on her feet while her powers went out of control. Ryouko and Momo were being lifted into the air by her poltergeist, and the sudden lift made the D-Dial slip from Momo's hand and clatter on the ground. Sparks flew from the device before dozens of plants started to appear out of it.
Nana screamed, "Momo! You're not doing any better!"
"Nana, I can't control the plants! And I think they're reacting badly with the animals!"
Naruto stared at the chaotic scene in front of him. Numerous animals he had never even scene causing havoc by harassing the student body. And on the other side there were plants shooting out pollen and vines around them, causing crazy effects like lifting people into the air or making them take off their clothes. Peke was knocked off Lala's head and rendered her nude in the middle of the field. Oshizu was still having a panic attack as Momo held down her skirt and Ryouko floated in the air. Nana and Yui ran out to try and cease the pandemonium. And Rito was tangled up in a vine along with Haruna that forced his face in her boobs and hands on her butt.
Yep, they were definitely Lala's little sisters.
"Hey kid, I thought you looked familiar."
The whiskered boy froze in fear before he looked down to see Gin had appeared at his feet. No one else had noticed because of all the panic. He saw Gin staring up at him before a toothy grin stretched his face, "How about you and I go have a talk?"
########King########
Naruto came out on top of the school's roof with Gid following behind him. He stopped and let the little overlord pass as he inspected the empty space. Gid nodded and turned to face him, "Well anyway-"
Naruto immediately released his ears and tails. The four furry appendages wagged behind him as he squared his shoulders and glared down at the Devilukean. Gid simply looked him over, "Hmm, you really do look just like Minato. Except with less tails. You think those are gonna grow out anytime soon, or can't they because you're part human?"
"Give me one reason I shouldn't destroy you right here, right now."
"I could give you several, but the first is the only reason you shouldn't." Gid smirked, "You couldn't even if you tried." He chuckled as the young blond seethed and snarled angrily at the overlord, but his ears lowered slightly and his tails hung behind him. He nodded, "Smart boy. Now it's Naruto, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Man kid I'm not joking, it's liking look back through time with you standing there. From a far you look like Minato, but then up close there's no way I can't notice you look like Kushina too. Damn that's crazy."
"I look like my parents, I get it." Naruto barked, "Get on with it. What do you want? Why did you come here?"
"Don't you remember my call from way back when? I told you I was gonna come visit so we could work out the wedding ceremony or something. Well here I am, your Papa-in-Law come to see what his daughter is getting into." Gid snickered, "Ready to serve the rest of your life under the flag of Deviluke? Because remember...if you aren't..."
A massive pressure smothered Naruto as his eyes widened. He felt belabored, like a massive weight had settled on his back and shoulders and was causing his breathing to suffer as well. He tried to stand against it - counter it with his own intent and power - but it was like a river fighting an ocean.
Was this the ruler of the galaxy? The overlord Gid Deviluke? The man that won the war and killed his father?
This was the power of the man that held everything in his hand.
"Then I would erase you and this planet out of the sky."
Naruto grit his teeth, pushing through the pressure and spoke, "H-How could you make a threat like that? An entire planet of people means nothing to you?!"
"It's one planet. In one solar system. In one cluster of stars. In one tiny little fraction of the galaxy." Gid clarified with a sharp tone, "I'm not just ignoring the small places, kid. I'm focusing on a big picture. The Deviluke Empire needs to thrive, and that means Lala needs to take up the mantle with a worthy successor. She seems enamored with you, but if you can't rise to the challenge then I can easily move on to another. But your failure will cost you. I'm not gonna let this little planet hinder her chance to grow."
"Hinder? You think this place is actually stifling her growth or something? Are you actually that stupid?!" Naruto barked through the pressure, "I don't know what she was like before she came to this planet but I could tell she was lonely! She didn't have people to call friends! She was having her life and future offered up to anyone that could take it! And you think she was being hindered here of all places!" Gid released his pressure over the blond but Naruto still yelled with his face going red from anger, "She smiles brighter and laughs louder and shines more now than she ever did! She has Rito and Mikan and Haruna-chan and Yui-chan and Oshizu-chan and Risa and Mio and Yami to keep her happy now! She makes crazy inventions and eats tons of food and runs out of the bath like a kid on a sugar high! She's a girl here! Just a kid - not a prize or trophy or princess or anything! She's happier here than she ever could have been with those jerks trying to get her for your empire! And you want to destroy this world! Treat it like some expendable trash! You threaten my home - the only place that I've ever felt happy and safe - and the people I cherish because you're annoyed or lazy!"
Naruto stomped his foot, splintering the roof before he towered over the tiny overlord and roared, "I WON'T EVER LET YOU DESTROY EARTH! I MAY NOT BE READY TO GET MARRIED TO LALA, BUT I'M DAMN SURE READY TO FIGHT FOR THE PLACE SHE CALLS HOME! SO IF YOU WANNA TRY SOMETHING I DARE YOU, YOU PINT-SIZED, SHARK TOOTH, SAND GARGLING LITTLE PRICK!"
Naruto was forced to gasp for air after he had finished his tirade. He kept staring down at the reprehensible man as he waited for the response. He might have risked everything chewing out the overlord of the galaxy, but like hell he was gonna let this guy keep him under his boot like that anymore. Gid raised an eyebrow, "So it that your response? I tell you I'll destroy you and your world, and you respond with screaming and calling me a prick?"
Naruto gulped-
"Hehehe." The overlord chuckled, his shoulders heaving as he doubled over laughing. Naruto watched the laughing fit in confusion, his shoulders sagging as his face burned red with mortification. Gid's laughter finally leveled out and he wiped a tear from his eye, "Oh man, Minato used to threaten and yell at me just like that when we were kids. Ha, good times." Gid chuckled one last time before slipping his hands in his pockets and shrugging, "Well, I guess that'll be it for today. Doesn't look like I'm gonna be getting any ceremony down so easily. I'll let you off the hook for today, Naruto Uzumaki, but if I hear anything bad from Lala then you're totally dead, got it?"
Naruto's face went blank, watching the short Devilukean walk over to the edge of the roof and step up to its end. He shook his head and called out, "Hey, are you serious?! That's all! You come all the way here, grope girls and cause havoc, and then you just leave! What was this all about?!"
"This was about me getting a chance to meet the guy my daughter loves face-to-face. See if she really is happy and content on this planet." He looked down and chuckled at the scene of madness happening in the schoolyard, "I guess I would get chewed out if I blew this place up. And I guess if you make her happy then that's good. I did just want to pass down the throne as quickly as possible, but it was at the risk of leaving her in the hands of some real sick psychos around the galaxy. I owe you that kid. See ya."
"Wait!" Naruto called out again and got Gid's attention once more. The short ruler turned back to look at him, "I won't hate Lala, but I won't ever forgive you for what you did. You took my father away from me and my mom. So don't ever think that just because I like Lala that you're gonna get off easy. One day-"
"Pfft." Gid scoffed and chuckled loudly before looking back at Naruto, "Seriously? You believe that croc of shit lie?"
Naruto blinked in confusion.
"Me and Minato were enemies, but he was one of the only guys I'd be willing to almost call friend. We fought a lot growing up. And when the time came during the war when we had to fight again I was fully prepared to kill him. I won alright, but as for killing him? Well I never landed the finishing blow. And we never did find a body." Gid smirked as Naruto's eyes widened, "Rumors ran quicker than I could stop them, but anyone that believed that Minato could die that easily are fools. Never did find out what happened, but oh well. If you still got a grudge that's fine. See ya."
"Wait-"
Gid didn't and jumped off the side of the building before Naruto could stop him. His hand was extended out before slowly falling to his side. He stood silently on the roof, his ears and tails quietly slipping back into his form as he stared at the ground in shock.
His father...could still be alive?
"Narutoooooooooo~! Where are you?! I need help finding Peke!"
"O-Onee-sama, please put on some clothes!"
"Aneue, do you have an invention you can use to calm down all the animals?!"
Naruto took a deep breath and sighed before shaking his head and wiping his eyes of any lingering tears. He took a sharp breath through his nose before darting for the door and back down the stairs to stop things before Lala's inventions made things worse.
########Prince########
"Did Papa harass you too much, Naruto?"
"Yep. Your dad is an asshole but it didn't look like he was coming here just to hurt me."
"I did not expect Gid Lucione Deviluke to appear here on Earth. And I had not expected him to be such an irredeemable fiend." Yami spoke in a stoic tone before she covered her chest, "He's an awful man."
"I bet he just came here to take a vacation." Lala said with crossed arms and a pout, "Papa wants to pass the seat of the empire over as soon as he can so he can go out and fight around the galaxy. Geez, he's such a troublemaker."
"Like father, like daughter." Naruto whispered to himself with some amusement as Lala pouted at him. He chuckled even as his thoughts went back to what Gid had told him earlier. There was a chance that his father was still alive. Somewhere out there in the stars. There was no way he wasn't going to think about that for awhile.
"The door."
Naruto came out of his thoughts and looked to Yami after she had suddenly spoken. Her eyes were narrowed towards their home and the door that was left slightly ajar. Yami's hair immediately sharpened into weapons and Lala titled her head in confusion as Naruto frowned. His ears and tails popped out and he prepared to take down any invaders that might show their ugly faces as he stepped in. His ears perked up when he heard the sound of water running upstairs.
He found the bathroom door open and some faint voices from within. With caution he pried the door open and walked in-
"Seriously, your plants didn't help at all!" Nana complained as she sat on the edge of the bath and let her tail hang behind her. Her long pink hair was wet and matted to her back as she stretched out her arms, "It took forever to get them all back."
"That's hardly my fault." Momo frowned as she cupped one of her breasts and started scrubbing under it. She glared at her twin, "Maybe if you took better care of your animals and regularly exercised with them-"
"They get plenty of exercise! Their space is massive! They have all the room in the world!"
"Yes well maybe you should show a little more affection. There's a reason my plants grow up so big." Momo smiled haughtily to her sister, "I water them daily and speak to each one of them. The reason they grow is because I show them care."
"I'm surprised they don't rot over with some of the venomous things coming out of your mouth." Momo flinched and her eyes started to twitch as Nana cackled, "Oh, reeling back because you can't handle someone telling the truth about you! Little prim and proper Momo is actually the biggest weirdo around! Hahaha - IYAA!"
"You should watch your tongue, dear sister." Momo ran her thumb firmly on the tip of Nana's tail as the long-haired girl's back arched and she gasped. Nana writhed in the bath water and let out a strangled moan as Momo smiled, "Goodness, you call me a weirdo but look at that reaction~. You're getting a bit too much pleasure from just a little stimula - AYYAAHHHHH!"
"T-two can play this game!" Nana burst from the water with Momo's tail in her hand. The short-haired sister gave a joyful shudder and toppled out of the bath, pulling Nana along with her. The two sisters wrestled, grabbing the other's tail and rubbing it as hard as they could in order to topple the other, "I-I'm not gonna lose to you just because you have my - huh?"
The twins paused and looked up to see the shocked expression of Naruto over them. The blond boy's eyes were as small as pinholes and his tails stood up at attention as the two girls just looked up at him. Their position and scenario suddenly rushed into their mind and Nana separated from Momo, "W-W-What are you doing in here, pervert?! Don't you know not to interrupt when someone is taking a bath?!"
"Are you serious?!" Naruto yelled but quickly ducked out of the room when a shampoo bottle came flying for his head. He slammed the door shut and ran out of the room before yelling back, "Why the hell are you in my house?! And taking a bath at that?!"
"Naruto?" He ran down the stairs to join Yami and Lala as the princess asked, "What is it? Who's here?"
"We're taking a bath because we got dirty catching all the animals and plants!" Nana yelled, coming out of the bathroom with her sister and towels wrapped around their bodies, "Why didn't you at least knock or something?! Tell him, Aneue!"
"Nana! Momo! What are you two doing here?"
"We were taking a bath." Momo informed while pulling her hair over her ear and sending a coy smile down towards Naruto, "But we got quite the unexpected guest."
"Don't!" Naruto raised his hands before Yami could hit him with a metal fist, "Why are you two here? Shouldn't you be on the ship with that little rat back to your planet?"
"We should be, but..."
"But what?"
"But we decided we wanted to stick around a little longer." Momo said with a smile as Nana sputtered, "We wanted to see what the planet Onee-sama lives on is like for ourselves. So if you don't mind we would like to stay here with all of you."
"Are you-"
"Yes!" Lala cheered, her wings popping out from her back as she flew up the stairs and enveloped her little sisters in a hug, "Oh yes! You two are gonna love it here on Earth! Naruto is the best! Naruto, we can let them stay here, right?"
"A-Aneue, watch the towels! That pervert is going to see us!"
"Oh now let's not be rude. This is his home after all."
Naruto's jaw fell as he stared up at the three sisters celebrating their reunion. His eyes traveled down to the assassin at his side who was staring at him sternly.
He sighed, but chuckled as he looked up and saw the sisters smiling between each other. Well his world was already crazy so it wasn't like it could get simpler.
This was just another step in the crazy, crazy world his reality had been changed into. And he still wouldn't change it for anything.

Done
I admit, and I'm sure many of you will agree, that I am not a writer that updates his stories very well. I'm getting better, spreading out what I write and trying to reach a quota of how much I write before the end of a year. I've been getting more frequent and I want my stories to grow.
But I can't do the same for this story.
The key to writing anything - to doing anything - is to be motivated. I want my version of Fairy Tail to reach the end. I want the ORC to see the end of their school year. I want class 3-A to survive through the magic world. I want Team RWBY, JNPR, and NKTS to fight and survive together. My want for these things keeps me going.
But it's not the same for this story. This chapter isn't great, and I could only make it this good after over a week of pushing it out. And I couldn't do anymore because I've lost all motivation for this tale.
It has long since lost any sense of direction. An update maybe once a year, purely for comedic reasons before the next long hiatus. To keep it alive. I'm sure there are some of you reading that would be fine with that kind of development, but this story has been half-dead for the longest time.
True, once upon a time I had ideas of how to develop this story into a more serious tale; introductions of other worlds and the Uchiha and space travel. But while the ideas grew, the actual writing remained stuck in place. And as I developed my others stories to push plot, attempt to write characters, and imagine their interactions and future trials as best as I could manage, I let this story solely become an outlet for comedy. And I was fine with it.
Then I let it fade into the background. A shelf thought if I was ever bored. I wanted to try and get a chapter out for a holiday, and I wouldn't finish it until six months passed. That just doesn't sound like a story I'm even remotely focusing on, does it? It's not even anywhere in my sights anymore.
So here I am. Sending it away properly instead of just letting it drag its feet behind me.
I loved this story. It gave me so much room to improve when I first started. Much of my comedy and interactions stemmed from what I learned writing this story. I was terrible when I started, and although I might not be great, I'm much better thanks to learning from this story.
I want to thank all of you for reading this story over the years. Thank you from the bottom of my hearts.
And thank you Ex-Prince. Thank you for brightening up my days when they were bad.
