Ch 40 Part 3

Day Later

The second day of their trip was also uneventful with all students seeing more historical and important sights. Naruto on the other hand is busy planning for his date as he wanted it to be a surprise for Yasaka. He knows he is doing it in her territory and so used his Shadows to seal off the space he is going to take her to be a surprise.

Just like that, 1/10th of Kyoto vanished from all Yokai's senses and this resulted in a panic among the masses as they thought they were under attack. Yasaka managed to convince them otherwise. 

Though Naruto didn't listen to what Yasaka told to Youkai, he saw many amused faces when they went back to their positions guarding the city. He also kept a close eye on Rosseweisse's date as well.

Red managed to impress her but she seems iffy about it for some reason and so they moved on to the next fella. While Red was very much amused by the stunt, he vanished in panic as he will be late for a Flip and Fold Unicycle match in France. 

"What are you planning for this date if you don't mind me asking?" Kurama asked, unable to suppress his curiosity. 

"You tell me, as a Fox, what do you like?" Naruto asked his good old friend.

"A sparring match?" Is the intelligent response he came up with. Naruto gave him an unimpressed look.

"Is it going to be that dream session you want to do with Grayfia?"

"You don't need to go into details!" Naruto yelled at a guffawing Kurama. 

"Not anything like that. It's going to be very simple. A candlelight dinner with no one around. And I'll personally cook all the dishes." Kurama is unimpressed.

"It's lame." 

"As if a stupid fox like you get it. I'm sure she was never treated normally in her life being brought up to be the next Kyuubi. How about I share some of your chakra with her then? Does it sound interesting?" Naruto asked with a happy face.

"We both know she can't survive our chakra, Naruto. It's just too potent to be shared. Maybe back when I'm just a Kyuubi. It's many decades since I've been Juubi and we both kept growing. Now our chakra is so intertwined, I'm sure even with Rinne-sharingan and Onmyōton(Yin-Yang style) it's hard to separate." Kurama gave an honest reply. Naruto nodded in acknowledgement and continued preparing for their date. 

Rias and Sona observed how Naruto often disappears. Sona has a suspicion that he uses clones, but for the love of Maou, she can't find a difference and so kept her observations to herself.

As the last few times she thought it was a clone and charged, she was thrown back hard and taught a memorable lesson in chess. It's not like Naruto will tell her how to differentiate. 

Speaking of spars, one is coming soon and both of them are looking forward to it. This is going to be their first spar in their 2nd year and they knew if they want to recruit powerful sacred gear users, they need to be strong. 

Though they don't train that hard, their training does show them results in Sona increasing her magic pools by 26% while Rias managed to gain more control over her magic. 

Akeno on the other hand didn't slack behind them and increased her spell's range by a large margin. But if there is anything that increased in her is her spells ferocity. After a recent talk with Reni, Akeno's attacks changed.

None of them spoke about what they talked about, but the change is the result. Tsubaki also gave her best to master her Sacred Gear as well. Mirror Alice as she thought was only used to reflect attacks. Until Miya broke the mirror. 

Tsubaki went blank, not knowing what to do. As she can't summon another mirror and have a cool-down period. And no one wantedly broke her mirrors in the past. It's a situation she wasn't in her last. 

That's when Miya threw one of the broken shards, which had physical form at Tsubaki who was frozen in fear. Sona stopped the attack but just like that, Sona's peerage was given a boost in their capabilities. 

Coming to the present, Sona had this jealous feeling when she saw Naruto helping Rosy-sensei find a boyfriend. It's not like she thought ill of the poor woman, it's just the amount of interest he is showing in it. 

Naruto on the other hand spent time with his group and classmates not to raise any suspicion and when they returned to their hotel to rest, he sneaked from Rosy's watchful eyes and appeared in front of Yasaka in her quarters.

As she doesn't have solid cloning ability like his, she can make illusions, but not solid and fully functional clones like him, they planned the date at her convenience. Naruto took her hand and vanished to the date he planned.

Restaurant

They sat opposite side by side as Naruto's started to serve their meal with a glass of champagne to the side. Yasaka is surprised to say the least.

She has never been on a date as Naruto was her first and she didn't have enough time then to go on a date. The candlelight set up has surprised her alot with only 1 big seat to sit on. Her little make-up did justice to highlight her beauty in the dim candlelight. Naruto enjoying the feast that's her beauty.

"Don't you want me to eat?" He asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Why, Naruto-kun?" She asked, confused.

"I can't anything if you are this beautiful," He said with a genuine smile.

"As if you are looking bad." She said with a giggle. He didn't think candlelight dinner will be this amazing as he didn't expect it when he planned. They dug in, eating between small talk.

"This is a nice change of pace, don't you think?"

"It is. It's wonderful to just sit here and enjoy silence beside you."

"Agreed. I didn't expect this to be this wonderful."

"Of course it will be wonderful if you listen to the great Juubi-sama!" Kurama boasted. Naruto gave the Juubi a blank look.

"Aren't you the one who said it's lame?"

"I don't remember saying such a thing." Kurama vehemently denied it.

"What did you say to your people yesterday when this area got sealed away? I'm sure it caused quite panic," Naruto said sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

"Aren't you interested? I said I'm going to surp-" they sensed a large burst of demonic energy release in their surroundings and Naruto turned to Yasaka who took a big gulp of air.

"The demons from Yomi-no-kuni were released. We must evacuate everyone before they start rampaging the city!!" Yasaka said in urgency. Naruto's face turned cold at that she felt a large force descend upon Kyoto in an instant.

'What pressure!' Yasaka thought in awe. Though she knew the pressure isn't intended towards her, its passive aura is affecting due to her closeness to Naruto.

"Yasaka dear, I'm sorry for this disturbance. Let's take care of this and continue our date." Naruto's strong voice pulled her out of the gutter that passive aura put her and she stood to neutralise the threat.

And Cut!
