I present you one of the latest story, The Sleepy Princess and Kitsune Guardian! A Naruto x Maou-jou De Oyasumi/Sleepy Princess in Demon Castle crossover fanfic!

Before we start, there are few things you need to know about this story…And at same time, if you never have heard of Maou-jou De Oyasumi manga.

This story is going to be very tricky because a lot of characters have been called by their titles, not names and very few have revealed their names…Meh, I'll burn the bridge and see what happen.

The princess' name is pretty confusing because in some chapters, they call her Syalis and other Suya…So I'm going with the former and use latter one as nickname.

Characters might be OOC and there'll be some grammar error but I'm trying my best.

Now enjoy the first chapter of SPKG!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and Maou-jou de Oyasumi.

Chapter One: Kitsune's Duty Is…

"Watch the princess?" A sixteen years old blonde pointed at himself with a raised eyebrow, "Me?" He stand at about six foot tall, wear plain orange shirt, black pants, armor guard pieces and pair of leather boots. What make him stand out are his fox ears that sticking out from top of his spiky blond hair, blue silted eyes, and large yellow fox-like tail with red tip but if you look closely, the 'tail' have several tails wrap together to form a large tail.

"Yes, Kistune, you." The demon lord nodded with pointing finger. He appear to be a young adult and would pass off as a human if it wasn't for his two black horns and pointy ears.

"Um, but I just got here today." The kitsune sweatdropped with raised hand, "And I have a name, it's Naruto."

"Oh, is that so?" Demon King cupped his chin with a thoughtful hum before he brush it off with a wave, "Well, at least you get the easy job." He pointed down the corridor behind Naruto, "The princess' cell is straight down this way, you won't miss it. Ursapine will receive you in few hours and show you around." He turn and walk away from the sweatdropping kitsune.

"Ooookay, that isn't how I picture my first day to turn out…" Naruto walked toward the direction he was told until he spot the cell's bars and he look inside to see a young teenager sitting on a pouch in front of window. She have a long straight hime-cut white hair, sleepy expression, unique purple eyes with star pupils, pink filly dress with white polka dots, golden crown, purple stocking socks with teddy face and pink slippers with white poofy balls. Naruto guess that if she was standing up, she would be couple head shorter than him.

The girl stare at the ground in deep thought until she notice him and her head tilt slightly with blank expression. "Mm?"

"Yo, I'm Naruto." The kitsune greeted with his hand up, "Are you the princess?" The girl nod simply, "I was told that I'm going to be your warden or something like that."

"Okay." The princess said nonchalantly before she plop down on rough-looking bed on her side and Naruto's sweatdrop enlarged.

'She's too relaxed.' Naruto scratched his head at that and he glance both sideways at the hall before he lean against the wall next to cell door. Few minutes went by in silence until he hear the princess tossing and turn around in her bed and he look behind as the princess sit up with batten pillow in her hands. She examine it with few squeezes and it crack noisy few times.

"Is it because this pillow is of poor quality?" The princess said quietly with shocking expression before she examines the pillow again with few pats, "The fabric is coarse…And the stuffing doesn't feel soft." She nods to herself, she need to find some better materials but where and how can she find them?

'What on the gaia…?' The blonde stared at her oddly before he feels a tug at his pant leg and he look down to see two adorable teddy bears with bat-like wings. They both have a tray of steaming soup over their heads. "Um…Is that dinner for the princess?" The creatures nodded once, "Okay, I'll unlock the door…" He patted his pockets few times before his head snap up, "Oh, dammit! I don't have the cell ke…" His gaze land on a cell key in one of bears' paw, "…Help yourself in…" He pinched the bridge of his nose as the bears enter the cell, "I am so gonna prank all day after that to release my stress…Starting with King."

"This is for the sake of my good night's sleep." The princess said out loud and Naruto look up to see her looming over the shivering bears with knife in her hand…Wait, wait, wait, what?! "Forgive me."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Naruto scrambled to get inside.

"No, wait…" The teenager girl remember something as she toss the knife away, unawake that her toss send the knife flying and embedded itself into the wall next to Naruto's head as soon as he get inside.

"WHAAAA!" He cried out at the close call, just few more inches to left and he'll be in afterlife.

"This might be more efficient." The princess pulls out a hairbrush from her gown and she start to groom the bears by brush thick-yet-soft furs off, much to their pleasure.

"W-W-What are you doing, princess?" Naruto breathed deeply to calm his beating heart down as he tried to wedging the knife out from the wall, keeping one eye on the princess wearily.

"I'm getting some stuffings for my pillow." She answered, picking some shredded furs up and feel them. 'So fluffy and soft. Perfect.' She gives a satisfied nod, "All done…" The teddy bears hopped up and down with hairbrush as if they was begging her to keep going, "…I see." She take the brush from them, "If you want more…" A glint appears in her eyes, "Then you'll have to give me the key to this cell in exchange." The bears immediately give her the cell key without any hesitance.

"TEDDY DEVILS!" Naruto choked on his spits.

"Ah, I forget about you." The princess turned her head to Naruto calmly, "Is it okay if I go out for a bit? I need to find few things."

Normally, anyone would say no to their hostage's request but Naruto wasn't one of them. "Sure, princess, but I'm tagging along to make sure you don't leave the castle." The king put him on this duty without giving him any head-up and he have few headaches in just short time so he's getting back at him by giving him some headaches.

"Fine with me." The princess stepped out of her cell before she look at her warden, "Oh, and call me Syalis or Suya if you prefer." She remembers him giving her his name and it's polite to return the etiquette.

"Suya?" Naruto followed her with a raised eyebrow, "Is that a nickname?" The princess ignores his question by hum cheerfully with a spring in her step, the cell key twirled around her finger. "Anyway…What are you looking for?"

"Materials for pillow." Syalis replied.

"Oh, what do you need?" He asked, "Fabrics?"

"Yes, and needles and some herbs." The princess said, "Brightly colored herbs, it have to be red, yellow, or blue."

"I know where to get the herbs." Naruto jabbed his thumb at left direction, "I saw item storage room on my way early. I'll grab some if you want me to."

"Yes, please." Syalis said, "Meet me at the cell after you get the herbs."

"Alright, see you later." The kitsune split up from the sleepy princess and he smirk at some panicking faces of his fellow demons, running around like headless chickens once they found out that the princess was out of her cell.

"What's all that noise?" The headless knight asked Naruto as soon as he approached the room.

"Who know?" Naruto shrugged his shoulders before he look around inside the room, "Um, where is the herbs? I'm new here."

"Oh, they are over there." The knight pointed to massive heap of jars and several chests, filled with different colored herbs in all size. "Why do you need them?"

"A monk told me to get some for something." The kitsune replied as he collected some jars, "Medical, I think."

"Ah, I see." The headless knight hummed.

"I'll be going." Naruto bid the knight farewell, exiting with the jars in his arms.

"See you later." The knight held his hand up.

When the kitsune return to the cell, he was surprised to see the princess inside with cut curtain and a quill needle. "I'm back." Naruto spoke as he placed the jars down next to the princess, "Here are the herbs. What do you need them for?" He still can't figure out the purpose of these herbs.

"Dye." Was the princess' reply as she starts on her pillow project, "Fufufu. I have everything I need for a good night's sleep now. First, take the teddy fur and roll some of it into a thread." She create a thread out of teddy fur, "Take the colorful herbs and use it to dye the thread. Use the quill as a needle for the thread and sew curtain into a case. Take leftover soft fur and stuff it into the case." Naruto watch on in fascination at the princess' speedy handicraft before she held up a high-quality pillow, "And now it's finally finished. The princess' specialty crafted good night's rest pillow."

"Wow, you're really skillful at that." Naruto whistled impressively as the princess test her pillow out with few pats then lie down on it and before the kitsune know it, Syalis was sleeping. "…Sleeping already? That's fast." He exited the cell, locking it and he hear a voice few minutes later.

"You're saying the princess escaped for a short time?" King paced toward the cell with a giant porcupine creature.

"Yes, my king, she made a big mess around the castle." The porcupine said.

"That weak looking little princess?" The demon lord snorted, "I don't believe it, Ursapine, because I assigned a guardian to her cell!" He spots Naruto, "Kitsune, open the door, I have to ask…"

"Shh, the princess is sleeping." Naruto gestured to the sleeping princess as she enjoy her new pillow and both lord and monster stare at the scene.

"…Maybe ask her tomorrow?" Ursapine turned to his lord.

"Yes…" The lord stared at the sleeping princess before he slowly walk away, "Do you think we might've capture the wrong girl?"

"…What?" The porcupine blinked.

"When have you ever heard of a kidnapped princess sleeping this soundly in the demon king's castle?" King asked him and the creature really has no answer for his question.

'Did he forget to ask me about her little escapade?' Naruto snickered quietly as he watch the demon king stumble away with bewildered expression before he look back at the sleeping princess, "Well, she's unique." At least, she's happy with her pillow and that would be enough…Right?

"Ah!" Naruto's head snap up at the princess' startled-yet-calm cry and he peek in between the bars to see the princess staring at her reflection with tremble.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"There's a mark on my face…" Syalis turn to him, revealing some sleeping marks on her face and she cover her face with hands. "I got careless after the pillow so I didn't notice it…" Her eye peek through between fingers to poor-quality sheet, "But the bed sheets here in the demon king's castle are also of poor quality."

"That and you have bad and weird sleeping posture." Naruto inputted, "I mean, you kept tossing around in your sleep…By the way, you tossed your pillow over here." He pointed down at the said object in one corner.

"Ah." The princess' expression become gloomy at that before she check herself in the mirror for any more marks, "…Why do I wear my crown to bed?"

"I was actually wondering about that." The kitsune sweatdropped, "But I decide not to say anything since it might be one of these human cultures."

"It is not." Syalis rubbed a mark on her forehead as she glance at him from the corner of her eyes, "But it would be distracting if my hair was loose, I wouldn't be able to sleep."

"Have you considering tied it up with leftover fabrics?" He suggested, "Cut them into a ribbon or hairband?"

"That is what I'm thinking." The princess cupped her chin, "But if I did, it would have to be a cute one. There's no point if it's not cute." Naruto sweatdropped. Boy, he sure sweatdrop a lot since he got here and that was just yesterday! "I would need some more precise tools in order to do that."

"Hello, Kitsune, I have princess' breakfast." Naruto turned to the voice to see a masked man in tuxedo with scissors for left arm and a cutting top hat. "Shall I be let in?"

"Sure." The kitsune unlocked the cell to allow the demon in, "And it's Naruto. What's with you all and titles?" The masked demon enters the cell with a light chuckle, finding him to be amused.

"Oh, ho ho?" The demon noticed that the princess was sitting up, "You're awake early today." The princess stare at the scissors with wide circular eyes, "Sorry for running late today. The clasp on my scissors was acting up…" Several scissors in all different sizes fall down from his body, "Ah! Oh no. I knew it was going to break…" He fretted over his body, "But I don't have a spare clasp…" Syalis remove her crown then hold it out to the demon, "Huh? Your crown? You're giving it to me?" She nodded once, "I can use it?"

"In exchange, give me a pair of scissors." Syalis said calmly.

"Ohohohoho, but of course!" The demon gave her some scissors, "I have plenty of scissors!"

'…The princess is giving away an royal crown for a scissor…' Naruto's hand find its way to his forehead as the happy demon leave with his new clasp and by the time he look at the princess, she now support a crown-like headband with beaming expression. "…You're really unique, you know that?" The princess hums merrily until she remembers her sleeping mark.

"Ah, right." She rubbed her mark with gloomy expression as she slumped, "There's still the problem of the bed sheets." She spot a giant scissor, the size of her torso, on floor, "And what do I do with this giant pair of scissor?" Before Naruto can say anything, a reindeer creature walks by with shining flowing cape.

SNAP

Syalis snap her scissors with blank expression, having found a new use for the giant scissors and a new quest. "Here." As if Naruto have read her mind, he opens the cell door. "Have fun cutting capes."

"Thank you." Syalis quietly sneak her way behind several demons to cut and rob them of their capes and the kitsune lean against the wall with a mischievous chuckle.

"…Wait, wasn't this cape a ghost sheet?" Naruto realize that there was something off about reindeer demon's cape before he shrug his shoulders, "Eh, it's not like princess will kill them in one go." Something run past his shins and he look down, it was these teddy devils from yesterday but in group of six this time. The creatures wiggle into the cell through the gap of bars and start searching for the princess while one of them holds a hairbrush. "Hey." Naruto entered the cell as the creatures gaze at him, "The princess is out at the moment." The creatures immediately slump on their fours with dejected expression, '…Does princess need their furs for comforter blanket?'

"WATCH OUT!" A voice screamed in the distance, "THERE'S A PRINCESS WITH A GIANT PAIR OF SCISSORS GOING AROUND CUTTING OFF OUR CAPES!"

"Here, let me." Naruto take the brush from the creature as he ignored the commotion and he sit down on the ground. "While she's gone, I'll groom you guys." The teddy devils immediately threw themselves on his laps with beaming eyes before he start to comb their furs out, "Let me know if it cause you some discomfort." A bear purr under his brush and several teddy bears fight for their turns to Naruto's amusement. By the time he finish grooming the cute bears, he swear he hear a bloodcurdling scream echoing throughout the castle before the smiling princess enter her cell room with a shining sheet. "Yo, you got what you want?"

"Yes, I've finally got it." Syalis spread her new sheet out over the bed, "My good night's rest bed sheet." She smooth the sheet out then take few steps back before she run toward it and jump on it with a joyous expression. Naruto stare at the joyous princess in complete disbelief as she roll around in sheet with joyous squeals before she immediately fall asleep with small drool.

"…I guess I kinda wasted my time collecting these fur." Naruto glanced at the pile of fur in one corner, trying to push what he saw out of his head before he exit the cell, locking it behind him. At same time, the demon king storm by with a shaking fist.

"…S-She's sleeping again today?!" King stared at the sleeping princess.

"Yup, please come back later." The kitsune said cheekily and the demon king walks away with a twitching eyebrow.

"It've been very noisy lately." Naruto muttered to himself as the loud snoring echoed throughout the castle, his ears flat back in attempt to blocking the sounds out. The cell door suddenly swing open with a loud clash that make him to jump before he adjust his gaze to annoying-looking princess as she step out with her pillow and sheets. "Can't sleep, huh?"

"Yes, damn it…" Syalis yawned, "I even made new pillows and sheets…" She walked down the corridor as the kitsune follow her behind, 'Was that place not a haven for some good sleep?'

"HEY, THE PRINCESS IS OUTSIDE AGAIN!" A random demon cried out.

"Are you going to make a ear plugs or find some place to sleep?" The kitsune asked as they come across a narrow bridge over poisonous lake while ignoring some demons' shocking shouts, "Be careful, it's slippy here because of these slimes."

"I'm looking for a safe place to sleep for the new me!" The princess look away from front to Naruto and she feel her foot stepping on something squishy and slippy, "Huh?" She slip then fall over guard rope and she would fall into the deadly lake if Naruto haven't catch her in midair, two tails fling out from his 'tail' and coil around two rail posts to support their weight up in air. "Ah." She said too calmly with blank face as she stares at the bubbling lake few inches below from her face.

"NIIIIICE, KITSUNE!"

"WAY TO GO, FOX DEMON!"

"IS THE PRINCESS OKAY?!" The demons screamed over the rail.

"DON'T STAND THERE FLAPPING YOUR MOUTH OFF AND HELP US GET UP!" Naruto shouted up ridiculously before his head snap down to the princess in his arms, "AND YOU! DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO BE CAREFUL AND WATCH OUT FOR THE SLIMES?!"

"But it's all good." The princess said, "At least I don't die…Although, an eternal sleep would be nice, huh?"

"…LIKE HELL IT'LL BE NICE!" The kitsune cried out as the demons pull them up roughly and speedily, "OI, GUYS! BE CAREFUL WITH MY TAILS! THEY'RE SENSITIVE!"

"What is this place?" Syalis wonder as she enter a church-like area with Naruto.

"Some kind of western church, I guess." Naruto said absentmindedly, flexing his tails. "Lousy no-good bastards, I told them to be careful."

"Oh, hello." Both duo turn to the voice to see a humanoid demon in priest uniform with two curving horns and tall cap, holding a thick book. He shows them his kind smile, "This place is the demon church."

"Who are you?" The kitsune asked bluntly and the princess simply glances around until she cast her gaze upon a black coffin lying innocently.

"I am Demon Clergy." The priest demon introduced himself with hand on chest.

"…What's with you Westerns using titles instead of given names?" Naruto deadpanned.

"Seems like…" The princess said out loud, "A coffin."

"It's a coffin." Clergy turned to the princess with a smile before she suddenly crouch down next to the coffin with hands over her face, "P…P-Princess?"

"Noise…" Syalis patted the coffin few times and find it to be thick. "…I see…If the quality is low, I'll just make it better…" Her head slowly swivel to stare at the priest.

"What is it?" The demon asked.

"It's just…" The princess said eerily calm as she stared at something on Clergy's head, "Your horns…Seem like an excellent cutting tool."

"…Huh?" The clergy blinked and before he know it, the princess grab him by the back of his head then smash it on the coffin's edge, grinding them violently as the clergy scream out in pain. "W-WHAT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WAAAAAAAAH!"

"Are you smoothing the edges out?" Naruto crouch next to her, watching her at work.

"Yes." Syalis answered flatly, "Can you please get me a slime?"

"Sure, I'll be right back." The kitsune leave to get a slime monster.

"K-KISTUNE, HELP!" Demon Clergy pleaded but it fall upon deaf ears and he was forced to go through it until the princess release him, satisfied with the quality.

"I got it." Naruto returned immediately with a blue slime, "Here." He placed it in the princess' sticking-out hand, "What do you need it for?"

"Waxing!" Syalis rubbed the slime against the edge roughly, ignoring the fact that the monster was vomiting blood.

"PRINCESSSSSSSS!" The clergy wailed at the horrible treatment of this poor slime and his outcry drew some curious demons into the church.

"What's happening?"

"It's so loud!"

"Is this the princess?"

"What are you doing?"

"And then, I'll lay out the sheets and pillows…" Syalis said to Naruto as she slip her sheet inside the coffin while ignoring the demons' comments and she lie down in the coffin then slip the lid on. There was nothing but dumbfounded silence as the demons stare at closed coffin and Naruto rapping his knuckles on the top, waiting for few moments.

"Guess you like it." Naruto muttered to himself before he lift the coffin up over his shoulder with assist of his tails and his head turn to the bewildered clergy. "I'll take it to her room." He said politely, walking out as the princess snore within her new coffin.

"…Huh?" Clergy blinked once, twice then thrice.

"S-She's sleeping in an awful thing…" Demon King sweatdropped at the sight of coffin in cell room, half-ignoring Clergy's demand to have it back.

"Maybe you should do something about these echoing of awful snoring." Naruto gestured to the echoing of loud snoring.

"I-I-I'll try and see what I can do…" The king stumbled away with clergy following him.

Syalis stretch her arms out with a yawn before a wick cackling attract her attention and she turn her head to right then tilt slightly as soon as she see Naruto fill some pie crusts with a interesting color filling. She shuffles closer to him, sticking her face out between two bars with hands. "What are you doing?"

"Making a preparation for my prank." Naruto crackled evilly.

"Prank?" She said blankly, "What's that?"

"W-W-What?!" The kitsune's head whip sharply to her with widened eyes, "Y-You don't know what prank is?! It's like asking what ramen is!"

"Ramen?" Syalis replied confusingly with furrowed brows.

"…" The pie slid down from his hand and splash all over the floor as Naruto calmly stand up with bangs shadowing his upper face before he unlock the cell door. "You, me…We're gonna prank the hell out of everyone then have many ramen until you pass out."

"Many ramen until I pass out…" The princess uttered quietly, 'Whatever this ramen must be, it sound like a food…Many foods…Food coma…Sleep!' "Okay." She step out of her cell as she crane her head up to him, "How are we going to do with this…Prank?"

"Follow me." Naruto led the princess down the corridor, "We will start with…"

"Put the bucket carefully on top." The kitsune whispered to the princess on his shoulders as the princess place a bucket on top of ajar door, adjusting it few times. "You get it?"

"Yes." Syalis moved her hands away from the door to top of Naruto's head, "Now what?"

"We hide and wait." Naruto put the princess down back on her feet then led her behind nearby pillar.

"How long?" The princess asked.

"Usually few minutes to an hour." The kitsune said.

"…An hour?" Syalis whispered horrifically, that mean she'll lose some of her naptime!

"Hai." Naruto nodded, "But I don't think it'll take this long because there are many vic…Eh, people living here."

"…What is hai?" The princess asked before she hears incoming footsteps.

"Oh, watch that!" The snickering kitsune shush her, turning her head with his tail to make her stare at the door.

"Ugh, today sucks." The red zombie walk through the door with a groan, "Can my day get any wo…" The bucket fall upside down on his head, spilling oil everywhere as the zombie lost his view of sight. "H-Hey, who turn the light o…Whoa, whoa!" His feet slip many times as he flailing his arms around with yelps until he finally slip out onto his rear with a crash but it don't end there. The momentum forces his body to slid down the corridor with a loud scream, "SOMEONE HELP!" The zombie screamed again before he get showered in colorful feathers and white powder and he bowling through several unlucky demons and monsters, end in a messy dogpile.

"Red Zombie, are you ok…" The werewolf suddenly scratch himself, "W-What the hell?"

"ARGH, I'M ITCHY ALL OVER!" The mummy scratched furiously and the monsters cried out over their sudden itches.

"And that, my dear princess, is a prank." Naruto laughed loudly at the chaotic sight in front of them, "Hilarious, isn't it?"

"Eh, can we eat ramen now?" The princess said blankly.

"…Y-You're not laughing?" The kitsune stared at her blankly.

"Should I?" Syalis tilted her head.

"…Let's keep pranking!" Naruto suddenly drag her away from the scene.

"What about foods?" The princess asked.

"Not until after you laugh!" The kitsune shouted childishly, "And don't think about faking it because I can tell!"

"Uuh!" Syalis' eyes widened in horror, does that mean she can't have her food coma soon?!

"Ta-da!" Naruto gestured to twitching monsters with frothing mouths as several corncobs lying innocently on floor, "Corncob prank!"

"…" The princess stared at him with wide circular eyes.

"MY UNDERWEAR!" The demon king screeched embarrassingly as the said clothing wave proudly at the top of flagpole with string of other demons' underwears. To make it worse, some were dirty to boost the embarrassment.

"Ha." Syalis monotone.

"Dammit, next one!" The kitsune dragged the princess away.

"WHO THE HELL DYE MY CLOTHINGS PINK!" The muscular Orc wailed furiously before he look down at his pink clothing, "Although, I look so fabulous in this color!" He snapped his fingers with flair, "MM-MMM!"

"Huh?" Naruto wiggled his eyebrow at the princess, "You can't write that!"

"…Ha." The princess looked so tired.

"…Ugh, you're impossible…" The kitsune's eyebrow twitched, "But I'm not going to give up on you, I promise!"

"I can't believe it…" Naruto slammed his forehead on the table with a groan as the princess stare at him, he did over twenty pranks and she never laugh at them.

"Can we eat ramen now?" Syalis' chin rested on table, "Please?"

"Fiiiine." The kitsune grumbled as he takes a small scroll out of his pocket, laying it out on table and the princess blink once out of surprise when smoke explode from the scroll before it clear up to reveal many bowls. "One bowl for princess with no sense of humor and rest for me." Naruto pushed one bowl to her, "This one is miso ramen, it's good."

"That is ramen?" The princess study the contain of soup, it have noodles, hardboiled eggs, some meats, vegetables and broth. She looks around and the only thing she see is some small thin sticks, "Where's spoon?"

"You eat that with chopsticks." Naruto pointed to the sticks.

"Chopsticks?" Syalis repeated.

"…You don't know how to use it?" The kitsune blinked rapidly before he rub his forehead, grumbling something about Western and Eastern. "Okay, let me show you how to use it." He showed her how he hold his chopsticks, "Hold one like a pencil, second one go above it and control it with index finger like that…" He clicked his sticks together and the princess copy him clumsly.

"Like that?" She asked, holding it wrong.

"Almost, let me correct you." Naruto reach out to her hands, adjusting and fix her mistakes. From the demons' view, it look like they were holding hands.

"A-Are they on a date?" A Frankenstein's monster whispered.

"Isn't princess supposed to be engaged to some guy back in her homeland?" A snakeman whispered.

"A love scandal?" The pink-wearing Orc gasped, "Oooh, draaaaamaaaaaaa!"

"You got it?" The kitsune removed his hands from her, they don't hear some whispers.

"Yes, I think I do." Syalis tested her hold few times before she attempt to eat her bowl…With some successes. "Oh, that is not bad." She sipped the noodles up, the soup is so warm and it's hard to believe he can bring it into existence from thin air. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Naruto drink the broth out of the bowl then stacking it onto fourth empty bowl, something that puzzled the creatures to no end.

"Bring them here from smoke." The princess said.

"Oh, I summoned them from one of my sealing scrolls." The kitsune gestured to the stretching-out scroll, "To be more exact, I summoned them from storage seal, one of fuinjutsu." He pointed to formations of strange writings in ink.

"Ah, I see." Syalis push her empty bowl aside nonchalantly before she takes the second bowl, eating it right away. "So you store things inside those…Seals. Anything?"

"Everything, depending on the quality." Naruto said before he give her a flat look, "And no, I will not use them for your personal use. Those are for my ramen and only ramen."

"Ah." The princess uttered and they eat their ramens in silence.

"…Why are there gates around cemeteries?" The kitsune decide to try something to see if it can work.

"…To keep…" Syalis looked at him as if he's an idiot.

"Because people are dying to get in." Naruto cut her off.

"URK!" The princess choked on her noodles with muffled giggles.

"Really?" The kitsune deadpanned at her as the princess swiftly clear her airway with water, giggling few times. "You don't laugh at my pranks, but you laugh at a lame joke? You're one strange princess, alright." The princess resumes her eating with no comments and it took six bowls until she feel drowsy.

"Let's go back." Syalis get up then walk out of the dining chamber with a long yawn, "I'm having food coma."

"Sure." Naruto followed her out after reseal his ramen into his scroll, "Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over a bay, they would be bagels."

"URK!" The princess covered her mouth to stifled her giggles.

"What do you call a pile of cats?" The kitsune said, "A meow-tain!"

"URK!" Syalis slap him with her long sleeve, which he dodged with a snicker.

"…They sure get along…" Demon King commented with a small sweatdrop, wondering why the kitsune is telling princess some jokes. "Anyway…" He turned back to one of his soldiers, "Have you find the culprit who strings my underwear up?"

"No, sir!" The headless knight said, scratching its torso.

The aftermath of prank-fest wind down three days later and the princess was on another quest but there is one tiny problem…

"Ohh…" Syalis sit atop on a pile of stacking chests, "This place was so big…That I got lost." She looked around at twisting and turning stairs, there are too many stairs that it makes her dizzy.

"You mean, we." Naruto grumbled furiously as he tried to make headway out of his map, rotating and flip it around. "How do you get…Where…No…ARGH! I only have been here for a week and all they did was giving me a lousy map that not a moron can read it! ARGH!"

"Th…" The princess grimaced with bags under her eyes, "This stupid Demon King castle…And I thought I'd go on a journey to find a new bed, too…"

"By the way, why do you need a new bed?" The kitsune glanced up at her, "What's wrong with the one you have?"

"The bed kept creaks whatever it rains." Syalis answered.

"Really?" Naruto deadpanned with a sweatdrop.

"Where the heck are w…" The princess was about to repeat until she notice something hanging above her, "Noble Object Shrine?"

"Noble Object…?" The kitsune checked his map, "Oh, this must be the place where they keep all fabled and noble treasures."

"…If it's here…" Syalis suddenly jump down then toss random treasures over her shoulders without any care, "I guess it wouldn't be peculiar to find the fabled bedding, right?"

"…Fabled bedding?" Naruto sweatdropped again and a top chest plop over with unlatched lid, dropping a giant shield down as it hit the princess' head.

"Augh." The princess gave the strange shield a stinky eye while rubbing her sore bump, the shield have a statue and pair of wings. "What's with this shield…" She tossed it aside, "Whatever." She stood up then walk…Only to trip over a living snoozing diamond within two steps. 'I…I'm falling!' The princess thought with her arms straightens out until she feels something blow her up in air, keeping her afloat.

"Oh, that was lucky of you." The kitsune said, "If the shield wasn't there in first place, your head would get a nasty hit." The floating princess glanced down to see the said shield.

"…I've found my new bed." Syalis said with starry eyes.

"…You…You want that tacky shield as your bed?" Naruto stared at the shield with another sweatdrop, "Um, okay."

"But…" The princess lifted the shield up with some struggle, due to its large size. "I don't think it'll fit in my room. If I don't cut it off from the source of the wind…" She gazed at a blue gem within the statue's chest, "If we had some tool that's hard and right fit for my hands."

"Oh, I have some kunai you can borrow." The kitsune dig around in his pockets, "Let's see, where did I put these scrolls?"

"Kunai…?" Syalis tilted her head until she hear a shouting behind her and the duo turn around to see a hopping diamond…That somehow hold a spear.

"WOAH! PRINCESS!? KITSUNE!?" The diamond shouted with few angry bounces, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! YOU MESSED WITH THE TRESURE, DIDN'T CHA?!"

"…Gem…" The princess slowly take a sheet from one of the piles then inch closer to the confusing gem with dark expression while Naruto watch on, "A gem…It's a gem."

"W-Wh…" The living diamond stuttered frighteningly, "What's with those eyes, girl?! Y-You're holding some cloth…He…Hey! WAIT! ANSWER! HEY! FOX, DO YOUR JOB PRO…" The princess swiftly trap the creature then wrap it up and she immediately bash it against the shield mercilessly. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! STOOOOOOP!"

Syalis suddenly halt her bashing to look squarely into Naruto's eyes as the hanging diamond moaning within the cloth, "…A hard weapon wrapped in cloth and made as a weapon you can swing is called a blackjack."

"Ooh, a improvised tool, huh?" Naruto whistled impressively.

"I-I-IT ISN'T A LESSON TIME, YOU KNOW!" The diamond wailed, "HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The princess resume her hammering, trying to separating the magical gem from the shield.

"Demon King!" The kitsune heard a shouting from two floors down and he peek over to see a sea demon greeting their leader. "How was the inspection of the heroes?"

"Yeah…" The demon king said, "The heroes came as far as the vicinity of the Wind Fortress."

"Heroes from my country are coming?" Syalis paused her work, "Heroes…" She frowned with furrowed brows, "Come to think of it, I do have a feeling that happened…And I forget their names too." She resumed her hammering again with a shrug, "Well, whatever."

"…Again, you're one unique princess." Naruto sweatdropped at her, he's starting to think that it's going to become his catchphrase at this rate.

"By the way, how's it going with the noble object, the Wind Shield?" Demon King asked.

"Yes!" The sea demon flashed his fanged grin, "We have it under watch, stored inside the treasure box! We plan to transport it to the dungeon the next day!"

"It's extremely important, so…" The king has to raise his voice over the hammering noise, "Although, it's a shield, it's fragile because it's a noble object."

"Plus…" The sea demon lifts his webbed hand up, "It's one of a kind, so you cannot regain another!"

'One of a kind?' The kitsune glanced back with a blink.

"Ah, a hole opened up." Syalis kept bashing the now-cracking shield.

"At any rate, it's noisy…" Demon King looked around with crossed arms, "What's that sound?"

"It's probably because the forge is nearby." The sea demon scratched his head.

"I see!" The king nodded, "Working hard, huh?"

"Alright, I took it apart." The princess picked the wind gem up with smug expression.

"Ah, good job." Naruto hummed.

"But it's hard to transport, right?" The king spoke again, "A shield like that which makes wind surge." Both kitsune and princess froze as they listened to the conversation behind them, "If they don't have it, the balance of the war would collapse! The heroes will die off at the next dungeon! You mustn't damage it at all!"

"Yes!" The sea demon nodded furiously as the duo slowly turns their heads to each other with blank expression, "And, all of our flag managing would come to nothing!"

"That's right!" Demon King nodded sagely, "Hence, you absolutely mustn't let it break! ABSOLUTELY!" The kitsune and princess slowly look down to shattered shield, it was damaged way beyond repair.

"Did they said it's one of a kind?" Naruto said flatly.

"…I get that one." The princess kneel down to take some pieces and then put some together with few items she have it. In a flash, she turn to the fox demon proudly as she present him a completely…Garbage. It's a completely garbage. The garbage was her old pillow and statue head tied together with vines. She smile up to him and he smile back before they dump it into the treasure chest.

"That's not the garbage bin, you know?!" Diamond screeched at them, "Wait until…" A claw grabbed it by its mouth.

"Hey, you don't see anything." Naruto smiled eerily sweet.

"B-But you…"

"You don't see anything!" He kept smile sweetly and for some reason it send a chilling down Diamond's figurate spine.

"But…"

"You don't see anything." He smiled, "Or shall we play blackjack?"

"I-I-I don't see anything, neither I was present at this time." The living gem stuttered.

"Good." The kitsune threw the screaming gem away.

"Now that we've settled the issue…" Syalis yawned with sleepy tears, "I've suddenly gotten sleepy."

"Shall we go back?" Naruto walked away from the crime scene with princess.

"Yes." The princess nodded, "Just in time, since I have a new bed now."

"And I managed to find the way back, thank to the landmark sign." The kitsune said.

"Ah, I also recall the way back." Syalis said, she can't wait to enjoy her new bed and no one was wiser to know their crime.

"…The balance will collapse…" The diamond muttered in disbelief.

Only one knows but he'll carry that secret to his grave.

A startled gasp grabs Naruto's attention the next day, "What is it this time?" Naruto turned his head to look inside the princess' room.

"I got bit…" Syalis whispered with shock in her eyes as she stare at a red bump on her uplifting wrist, "By a bug."

"Well, that's kinda expected because it's this season and you're sleeping next to those windows." The kitsune glanced at open-air windows with low bars.

"Good lord…" The princess clutched pillow to her chest as her head rest on it depressingly, "It would've been great if I haven't noticed…It got itchy the moment I didn't notice…This never happened back in the kingdom."

"Welcome to the real world." Naruto rolled his eyes and the princess shot him a stinky eye for a moment before she bury her face in pillow.

"The Demon King Castle…" She said muffled, "The airtightness of the rooms suck so much…!"

"Is airtightness a new or fancy word?" The kitsune raised his eyebrow.

"…Oh, yeah!" Syalis' head snapped up, "A mosquito net! There were mosquito nets in the kingdom. If I don't make one as soon as possible, my skin will become spot patterned within a few days."

"…Maybe they'll match your polka-dot dress, princess." Naruto smirked, "Or shall I say polka-dot princess?"

"…" The princess decide to ignore him as she get out of her bed then pick her large scissor up, "But, if I don't have a fairly large cloth, I can't make one. I need a far bigger one than the ghost furoshiki I used as my bed sheet recently."

"Oh, that's where you got your sheet from?" The kitsune blinked and the princess gives him a confirmed nod. "Ah, so that's what the scream I heard the other day was."

"PRINCESS!" They turned to the owner of roar to see an giant floating sheet with crown and ugly face with two 'arms', "How dare you mistreat my followers lately!"

"…Will he do?" Naruto turned his head to the princess, pointing at the confusing possessed cloth and there was a loud swift snap.

"I don't need the face or hands." Syalis held a shiny cloth as the frightened small furoshiki held the upper head of their boss.

'Is this girl a devil?!' The small furoshikis trembled.

"You'll regret this!" The king furoshiki vomited blood but the princess pay no mind to it.

"I found some strings that you made the other day." Naruto brought some strings to the princess then they sew and attached it to the new net, "Where will we tie them up to?"

"…Oh, there!" The princess pointed at a tall tower near one of her skylights, where it have a nest of phoenix eggs.

"Do you want me to go over there and tied it?" The kitsune asked.

"No, I'll do it." Syalis said before she point at few windows around them, "You can tied the rest around these bars." She glanced back at the tower, "But, how will I climb the wall?"

"Well, you can…" Naruto was about to say something until they hear some sound of sticky stamps coming down from the ceiling.

"I've come to fetch princess' dishes, nya!" They look up to see an medium-large cat with oversized paw gloves, leaving a trail of paw stamps behind.

'Cat with paw gloves?' The kitsune can't wrap his mind around it.

'The wall…It's climbing the wall…' The princess stared at the cat's gloves intensely before she speak in monotone, "Ack…" She kneeled down with pillow over her face, "That's so terrible…Even through this place is strictly no-shoes allowed."

"EH!" The cat suddenly jumped out of its gloves, "I'm sorry, nya! I'll take them off, nya!" The princess immediately snatches the paw gloves up with a smug expression, "Eh…Why did you take them, princess? Nyaaaa?"

"You're lending me them." Syalis said.

"Er, but…" The cat demon glanced between the princess and kitsune confusingly, "Eh…"

"You're lending me them." The princess repeated, putting the gloves on her hands and feet.

"Ah…" The cat realized the trickery, "Were you lying about the no-shoes allowed, nyaaa?"

"You're lending me them." Syalis climbed up the wall with stone-faced face.

"You're lending her them." Naruto pet the creature's head before he move over to tie the ropes up and the cat glance between them confusingly.

"Kitsune, w-will she give them back to me, nyaaa?" The cat demon asked.

"Maybe." The kitsune said, ignoring some shouts and panicky cries outside.

"Er, um…" The cat looked outside to see the princess climbing up the tallest tower with few screaming fliers around it, demanding her to back off and stay away from the eggs. "So…How do you like your job so far?"

"It's good, I guess." Naruto said, "All I have to do is just watch after the princess."

"…And why do you keep let her out and cause some commotions?" The cat asked.

"Because it's fun." The kitsune said cheekily, "And I think the castle need a little liven up, considering how dreary it looks."

"Ah…" The cat demon sweatdropped and the transparent net slowly rise up to its perk.

"Look good." Naruto hummed lightly.

"Ohh, this is…" The kitsune turned his head to the voice above him as the princess crawl through one of the skylight and she look down to the fox demon, "Catch me." She jumped off the window then land in Naruto's arms before she stand up as she discarded the paw gloves, "Thank, Naruto." She turned to her new mosquito net that cover her bed with outspreading arms, "I made such a marvelous mosquito net." She stepped through the net with a cheerful smile, "The surroundings are noisy for some reason, but I can't resist such allure…" She jumped onto her bed happy then fall asleep with few mutters, "Wonderful…Pure white skin…Worked hard…"

"…You just got up about few minutes ago…" Naruto sweatdropped at the slumbering princess as the happy cat demon leave with his gloves and he step outside the cell room with a headshake. "Well, at least the job isn't bad." He lean against the wall with a small yawn, he can't wait to see what kind of escapades the princess will take when she get up.
