"Where the hell have you been?"

Naruto raised a single eyebrow at her red-faced mentor, who had his hands on his hips. It was only now that she decided to return back to her apartment to get a change of clothes, make some lunch and then go to school. If she had known that the man was going to grill her over her location then she would have written him a not.

The whiskered teen sighed and looked to the kitchen. This isn't the first time I spent the night over at Kyoya's house. It was probably the second time that she spent the night over at her partner's house. The second time that she woke up in her partner's arms in his bed and with the way things were heading, Naruto doubt that it would be the last time.

Knowing this made her decide that she should tell Jiraiya so that the man wouldn't throw a hissy fit if he couldn't find her.

"I stayed over at Kyoya's house," Naruto finally replied. The whiskered teen kept her expression completely blank as her mind wandered back to what happened just over an hour ago. I can definitely see why my older self is like a bunny with Kyoya. That had been an experience. An experience that she wouldn't mind repeating some time soon.

Her mentor blinked and gawked at her. He does know that Kyoya and me are very close, doesn't he? It was not like she would hide her association with the older boy from her mentor. The boy came to her apartment because he disliked the fact she skipped school again. Her partner also had a habit of challenging her to a fight whenever he felt very irritated with some poor coward.

Naruto only raised an eyebrow as Jiraiya fixated his eyes on her shirt before looking at her neck. A look of horror washed over him and the whiskered teen flickered her eyes to her neck. That explains why Kyoya was more pleased when I left him and why some of those old ladies kept gawking at me like I had no shame. Several hickeys decorated on both sides of her neck, making very clear to what her actions with Kyoya had been.

"If you keep getting frisky with that boy then I won't heal you!" The Kyuubi growled from inside of her mind. Naruto blinked and tilted her head as her mentor looked at her like he didn't know her. "Did you ever stop to think of how I feel about watching you and him? At this rate, you might end up getting pregnant!"

The blonde pressed her lips into a thin line. "Kyoya and me aren't going to risk our future, Kyuubi. Just because we ended up pleasuring each other, doesn't mean we are going to practice unprotected sex! And you don't have to watch us unless you are into voyeurism because why the hell were you watching us!"

"Kyoya?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto blinked and looked back at her mentor, who looked at her neck like he couldn't picture Kyoya to be the type of boy who would have those kind of desires. Just because he disapproved of his peeking, doesn't mean he has no hormones. The marks on her neck showed it. "You spent the night over at Hibari's house?"

The whiskered teen blinked and raised a single eyebrow at her mentor, who looked like he was trying to process the information that she had given him. Was it really that hard to wrap his head around the idea of them being together? Or that they went this far? Because the two of them had been together for the last eight months.

They went eight months without moving past first base and Naruto could honestly say that she regretted taking things slow.

"Is there another Kyoya that I know?" Naruto finally asked with a raised eyebrow. She curled her lips into a scowl and looked to her bedroom. I'm going have to steal Ino's makeup to cover up the marks. From now on, she was going to check her appearance whenever she left her partner because the Kyuubi would only heal her whenever he felt like it.

She exhaled and blinked at the steam coming out of her mentor's ears. He looks like he is going to explode with the knowledge that I spent the night with Kyoya. Her mentor was ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with what she did. The two of them have been together for eight months now and nothing about their relationship indicated that they were on the rocks.

"You spent the night in a boy's house," Her godfather pointed out. Naruto pinched her nostrils as the man began to pace back and forth with what she had just said. How many times must they repeat the same topic? What the hell was the big deal? She was mature enough to know what not to do with a boy that didn't want anything serious with her.

Kyoya had proven time and again that he wasn't toying with her feelings. He doesn't care that I carry a beast inside of me. That knowledge made it difficult for her not to feel something. The knowledge that she couldn't get rid of him because of the beast made her heart flutter and did wonderful things to her stomach.

"This isn't the first time I spent the night over at Kyoya's house," Naruto informed him. Her godfather paled even more and looked at her like he thought she lost her childhood or something as ridiculous as that. I never even really had a childhood. This was the first time in her life that she experienced things that the girls in the Academy would talk about.

Even though their dates weren't normal and Kyoya might not be the most affectionate boy in public, Naruto liked the things they did. The kisses and the conversations that they would have. She liked the way she could be herself around the boy without fearing that he would get annoyed with her. How many people could say that?

Was she in love? That she did not know but Naruto knew that she couldn't picture doing the things that she did with Kyoya.

Her mentor exhaled and cleared his throat. "Don't you think I deserve to know if you have been spending your nights over there? Do you even know what boys would say to attractive girls to get them to sleep with them?"

The whiskered teen clenched her jaws together and exhaled. She needed to calm down or else she might just wake up the Ninth over some silly squabble between her and Jiraiya. But the bastard is implying that Kyoya only wants me for my body. Anyone who knew her partner would know the boy was nothing like the perverts in this town.

Not once did he ever have a nosebleed whenever he saw some girl who wore skimpy clothes or tried to leer on them like Jiraiya. Her partner would smack them instead and would make some comment about them breaking the rules. If Kyoya wanted her for her body then he could have disrespected the rules that she set between them.

He had done none of that.

"Kyoya and me have been together for eight months," Naruto growled at the Toad Sannin. The white-haired man blinked at this piece of information and the whiskered teen glared at him. "Tell me! Would a boy stick by a girl if he hadn't been getting any action for eight months? I'm not stupid or reckless! I lived in the streets for a whole two years and know about those kind of shit!"

Her mentor kept quiet and the whiskered teen clenched her jaws together. There had been so many close calls during those eight months but Kyoya would be the one to remind her of the rules that she set in place. If he didn't care about me then he would never remind me. But her partner made sure to remind her and she would have doubts playing in her mind.

The boy never minded about the fact she hesitated.

"How far have the two of you gone?" Jiraiya asked. His black eyes flashed with regret as if he just realized that he didn't want to know the answer of that question. I could get angry and embarrassed but I could make this fun for me. She knew she was going to regret telling him this but his reaction would be amusing for her to see.

Then there was also the fact that her mentor would stop questioning about her love life. A love life that he had no business with interfering or interrogating if you asked her. I don't understand why he wants to act like he is my guardian when he hasn't been there for me as a child. It was not resentment but pure logic if you asked her.

If the man was a responsible man who had been there for her since day one then it was another story entirely.

"I think Kyoya wants to thank you for letting me edit your books because he really enjoyed page 156," Naruto hummed. Jiraiya gargled at the piece of information that she presented and looked at her like he didn't know what to think of her. She smiled widely and chuckled. "He is really skilled with using his tongue."

Jiraiya choked at her words.

"Don't tell me that!" He screamed. "Why the hell did you tell me?"

Naruto shrugged and headed towards her room before twisting her head to look at her stunned godfather. The flushed cheeks told her that her godfather was tempted to go straight to Kyoya and throttle him, which only made the whiskered teen pressed her lips into a thin line. If Jiraiya did anything to her partner then she was not afraid of kicking him out of her apartment.

"Because you asked," Naruto explained. "And by the way if you even think of threatening or having a talk with Kyoya then I will kick you out of this apartment. Kyoya and me have been together for the last eight months."

Jiraiya eyed her. "If he breaks up with you—"

"—Then I will be the one to deal with him," Naruto retorted. "But something tells me that he is stuck with me."

If that future told her anything then Kyoya was stuck with her for at least another 10 more years.

Kyoya is really annoyed.

Naruto poked her tongue against her cheek and tilted her head to the side as Kyoya eyed the lunch box in her hand. To the ordinary eye, her partner looked like his usual stoic self but that little twitch in his eyebrows alongside the flare of his nostrils told her this. What happened between the time I left him and now? She darted her eyes to the members of the Disciplinary Committee standing outside the door.

The two boys had their eyes fixated on her. Please calm down Hibari-sama! That was the plea coming out of their eyes and the whiskered teen wondered if Kusakabe informed them about the change of status. It would not surprise her if he did. The boy did have an unhealthy fixation on her partner's love life.

He also had a habit of gossiping about their relationship and trying to figure out how it worked between them.

"Who is the bastard that ruined your good mood?" Naruto asked as she took a seat on his table. She loosened her tie and let out a sigh as her partner tore his eyes away from the purple lunchbox. The lack of answer alongside the lack of glare told the blonde that her wonderful partner was probably debating of whether to answer her or not.

A grunt escaped her partner's lips and the whiskered teen knew immediately that it would be a matter of time before he told her of the source of his bad mood. That was fine with her. There was nothing in their lessons that she did not know about and there was no new piece of information that she needed to collect.

"I have to deal with crowding tonight."

Blue eyes widened at those words and the blonde thinned her lips at this piece of information. I thought the guardians were done with this shit. But the way those grey eyes flared with irritation told her that this was definitely not the case. That her partner and even Lambo were now still involved with whatever scheme that the Ninth hatched.

Bastard. She pinched her nose and leaned against the table as Kyoya eyed her. There was a huge desire for her to go back to her apartment to demand the Ninth what the big deal was. The whole fight between Sawada and Xanxus made a lot of sense for her but the recall of the other guardians? Now that was a whole different story for her.

"We can't beat them up," Naruto muttered under her breath. She puffed her cheeks and folded her arms against her chest as her partner scowled at the reminder. Are you sure that you don't want to screw their rules and do things on our terms? That was what those grey eyes demanded and the whiskered teen sighed. "Kyoya, if I didn't need the damn funding then I will be very tempted to take the offer."

Her partner sighed and flickered his eyes to the members of the Disciplinary Committee, who kept flickering their eyes at them. Why must they be so god damn interested to know what our problems are? She felt tempted to pull out a kunai and threw it straight at them but that would be very irrational for her to do this.

"I will bite them to death," Kyoya grunted. I will do it for the both of us if you really need that funding. That was the unspoken words coming out of his mouth and Naruto curled her lips into a smile. There was a temptation for her to kiss him but they had company outside. If neither of them controlled each other then those boys would hear something that they weren't supposed to hear.

She hummed and looked at Kyoya, who kept rubbing his tonfa as his grey eyes fixated on the members of his committee. Is it really that big of a deal if I kiss him? Those members did beg for her to calm him down and if she calmed him down then those two would owe her a favour later. There was also the fact that she was frustrated as well.

Kyoya had no problem with throwing his frustrations at his subordinates but Naruto had no desire to make her subordinates fear her.

"You have to bite them to death after Sawada fights the King of Monkeys," Naruto reminded him. The black-haired teen snorted and opened his mouth to argue, only to raise a single eyebrow when she decided to take a seat on his lap. She pressed a single kiss on his neck and flickered her eyes to the curious grey eyes of her partner. "The Ninth can't be touch but those ladies are a whole different story."

The Ninth is the reason that I have to deal with herding! That was what those grey eyes told her and the whiskered teen pressed her lips into a thin line as her hand subconsciously wandered to his hair. She could always try to calm him down with pleasurable means but that wouldn't teach him to not be impulsive.

She could make a deal with him but what could she offer him that would make him reconsider the idea of attacking the Ninth? I'm already making him lunch everyday and we both know that the physical aspect of our relationship is free. This was a dilemma when she thought about it. Threatening to stop kissing him was never going to work and telling him to take it out on Sawada was not going to help him in the long run.

The whiskered teen nodded.

"If you promise to not try and harm the Ninth then I will deal with the paperwork and discipline the females members of the school," Naruto offered. Kyoya blinked and looked down with wide grey eyes like he couldn't fully believe the offer coming out from her lips. You hate dealing with irrational females. That was probably what was going through his mind and that made the whiskered teen caressed his sharp but soft cheeks.

She disliked dealing with irrational people and there were going to be a lot of people who would question her relationship with Kyoya. We haven't been hiding it from anyone but we haven't gone around announcing it to everyone. This would be the biggest step between them or rather the biggest declaration that she could make.

"If I do the paperwork then you have time to bite those cowards to death," she finally explained as her lips brushed against the corner of his lips. Her partner pulled her closer and stroke her back as he looked down at her with thoughtful eyes. The fact he was considering it meant that there was a possibility that she wouldn't have to stand guard for the Ninth.

There was no way she was going to let her partner ruined her hard work.

"Oh? And what if I want to bite you to death?" Kyoya offered her a little smirk before pressing his lips against her. Her whole mind went blank as the fireworks went off of her mind. Did he have to say that to her? They weren't in public but he did have two guards standing outside of the door.

She allowed her hands to wander up to his hair and combed through the mess as her partner groped her butt. A shiver went down her spine while a little groan escaped her lips. I think I need to answer his question before my mind goes completely blank again! She knew that but she couldn't stop herself from wrapping her legs around him.

The closed contact between their crotches brought a little whimper out of her mouth.

"Do you really have to be insatiable?" Naruto whined into his ear as he pressed a heated kiss against her neck. She could practically feel a smirk forming around his lips as he unbuttoned the first button of her shirt. A little bit of her collarbone peaked out and Naruto tugged on the older boy's hair as he sucked on the collarbone.

Her hands wandered up and down his chest before pulling the boy closer to her. She should remember that there were people outside but reason was escaping her mind again with the way Kyoya kept pressing heated kisses to her neck and ears. They were just together this morning but why did she want more?

"Little Fox, it's because you always look delicious," he purred as his hand slid to her legs. Naruto gulped and felt her cheeks burned a bright shade of red as those grey eyes darkened. He pressed another kiss to her lips and the blonde accepted the demand coming from his lips. She should try to be gentle and remember that they were in school but Kyoya was sucking on her tongue like it was a tasty chocolate.

A whimper escaped her mouth and Kyoya quickly swallowed it down. His grey eyes gleamed with amusement and the blonde longed to cover her face over her action. Did those two hear it? Dear god, how was she going to keep her composure when she walked away? This wouldn't be bad if there were no one outside the door.

"Kyoya if you continue like this then I'm going to get really horny," she warned him. Grey eyes gleamed with triumphant and Naruto realized that this was her partner's plan all along. I've got to teach him a lesson about this. Definitely not now but later when the whole thing blew over. She was going to teach him about the importance of not riling her up in school.

Her partner slid a hand underneath her shirt and under her bra before pinching her nipple. She mewled and clung to him before pressing against his crotch. The older teen refused to moan and Naruto knew that she had to do something to change the level between them. I will make him rile up. She pressed herself against him and placed her lips against his ear.

"You are so hard, Kyoya," Naruto purred into his ear. "If we didn't have those guards outside, I might be tempted to stick your hand into my cunt and let you feel how wet I am."

Kyoya groaned and then paused as if he finally realized the situation that they were in. His eyes flickered to the members of his committee, who looked flushed and then back at her. She offered him an innocent little smile and her partner kissed her rather intensely like he didn't wanted to mark her as his own before throwing a glare at the two members.

The two members flinched and looked away from them.

"Little Fox, I'm going to make you scream tonight," he whispered into her ear before nipping her ear. "I'm going to make you moan all night long."

Yeah, she was definitely not going to get any sleep tonight if those words were of any indication.

"So how long have you and Hibari-senpai been together?"

Naruto looked away from the clean plates and focused her eyes on Yamamoto. The Rain Guardian had a wide smile playing on his lips as his brown eyes shone with curiosity. It was nearly the end of her shift and not once did the boy make any attempt of questioning her about her status of a weapon or even about her own relationship with Kyoya.

She almost thought that the boy wouldn't question her but it seemed like she was a naïve fool for believing that this would be the case. I guess I should be glad he chose the safer topic to talk about. In the past, Yamamoto would probably question her about being a jinchuuriki but the boy must have realized that she didn't want to talk about the topic with him.

It just wasn't a good time for them to talk about her childhood nor did she feel ready to talk about it with him.

"Valentine's Day," Naruto finally answered. She tried to keep her tone blank and her expression cold but the memory of her first proper kiss with Kyoya still made her cheeks flush red. How could it not make her blush? The knowledge that Kyoya liked her in a romantic way and the way he kissed her could make her legs buckle with excitement.

Yamamoto nodded and offered her a little smile as his brown eyes twinkled with mirth. If he takes credit for being the reason that I'm with Kyoya then I won't say a damn thing. Naruto exhaled and steadied her arms, waiting for the inevitable gloating from the boy but…the words never came out of his mouth.

She expected him to take advantage over her willingness to answer him and to tell her that she should thank him, but the boy only smiled at her. He isn't even upset that I didn't tell him about my 8-month relationship. People would get upset but then again Yamamoto probably understood her to some extent. He probably understood their desire not to air it out to the public.

People talked and questioned things that weren't their business.

"So he is the biggest reason for your happiness for the last couple of months, isn't he?" Yamamoto observed. The words may have came out as a question but the whiskered teen knew from the twinkle in his eyes that he was certain with his answer. This was the same twinkle he would make whenever he knew he got the answer to a question correct.

Naruto paused, put down the plate and then finally nodded. Happiness. That was an emotion she thought she would never feel again after what happened with Mizuki but it was an emotion she had been feeling since the moment Kyoya and her came together. It was difficult not to be happy or feel light when there was someone who accepted her for who she was.

Only a fool would throw away their chance of happiness.

"How did you know Kyoya had feelings for me?" Naruto asked. Yamamoto blinked and the whiskered teen licked her chapped lips as she tried to recall their various interactions between them. Nothing really stood out to her when she thought about it except for what happened with Haku. That probably should have been her biggest indicator.

But it was a curiosity on how Yamamoto figured it out even though she rarely interacted with Kyoya in public. I mean how did he know the signs when I couldn't see it for myself? Kiba and Hinata had been easy for her to figure out but her partner's feelings towards her hadn't been completely cleared until she gave him chocolate.

"Hibari-senpai would always walked passed our classroom and whenever you were in class, he would stop to look at you," Yamamoto explained. The whiskered teen blinked and jerked her head at this piece of information while the brown-eyed boy hummed. "He seems to get a little bit softer and almost docile around you. With you, I figured it is because you go and look for him…so I kinda figured it out from there."

The blonde felt her lips twitched at his explanation. Docile. Now that was not a word she would ever expect to hear to describe how Kyoya would act around her. He wasn't docile around her but he was willing to listen to her, which was more then what she could say for some people. If he found her words reasonable or her offer tempting then he would back off.

She exhaled and regarded the boy carefully. Should she thank him for giving him the advice? Or should she tell him that he shouldn't make a habit of butting in on her life? They were classmates and occasionally she helped him out, but it didn't mean he had to get that involved with her life. She pressed her lips into a thin line.

"Y'know this is the one time that I'm not going to charge you about butting your nose into my personal life," Naruto finally said. She picked up the dirty plate and began to scrub as her eyes fixated on the window in front of her. "But why the hell did you care so much about my relationship with Kyoya? It has nothing to do with you."

She wiped away the grease and then decided to twist her head around to stare at the boy. The smile on Yamamoto's face softened even more and his brown eyes flashed with intense regret. Wait, did he do it because he thought I tried to stop him from jumping off the building? That had to be it. The last time she saw that much regret in his eyes was when she and Tsuna tried to get him to step away from the rails.

"Because I want you to be happy, Naruto," Yamamoto finally answered. He curled his lips into a large smile and looked out to the window before flickering his eyes back at her. "You did a lot of things for me from helping me out with my homework to saving my life. I thought I was helping you when I told Jiraiya about your whereabouts but I didn't make it better. But I thought that you being with Hibari-senpai would make you very happy."

Naruto steadied her arms and looked away from the boy. There were unspoken words in his tone and the blonde was glad that he would never vocalize it. I wouldn't have given him a chance. It was probably cruel but they would never be right for each other. She didn't want someone who wanted to fix her or be her emotional clutch.

That would have been toxic for the both of them.

"You are going to make some girl happy," Naruto informed him. Yamamoto blinked and the whiskered teen cleared her throat as she decided to give him some words of advice. Even though she could never be that girl for the boy, she could tell him of her own thoughts about him. "She would probably appreciate how much you love to push but with that girl…drop the mask. You deserve someone who likes the real you."

The brown-eyed boy smiled at her words as if he practically knew that the advice coming from her mouth was probably the closest thing to a thank you and an apology from her. She was never going to apologize for not returning his feelings because that wasn't fair for either of them. But apologizing for the way she treated him at times was a necessary.

"I want what you and Hibari-senpai have," Yamamoto informed her. "The thing that you two have…is really special. I think even if you were born a boy, he would always have some form of respect and fondness for you."

Naruto only a quirked her lips into a smile and snorted at the idea.

(It will be weeks later after what happened with the Varia that Yamamoto's words would be put to the test).

Author Note: So Jiraiya found out about the 8-month long relationship between Naruto and Kyoya. Kyoya have plans for Naruto while Yamamoto is just happy for Naruto. The next chapter will go into the battle between Tsuna and Xanxus. Now here are a couple of questions for you to think about:

Question 1: How do you think the Canon version of Naruto would react to KHR or at the knowledge that he is a girl in one version? And vice versa for this version of Naruto.

Question 2: How do you think Naruto will react at the knowledge that she could be a potential heir?

Question 3: Do you think Yamamoto is right?

The answers to these questions would be reveal in the upcoming chapters.
