"Wow, wow, wow. Back the train up," Naruto interrupted as he lifted a hand. Looking at her blankly, he continued, "They have to be injured first, and then nursed back to health. How is that more elegant and precise? That just sounds like you beat them up, and play doctor to earn their trust."

Kiyome blushed slightly and looked away as she admitted, "That…is the usual method. As I stated before. I am human. Beast tamers are human. We have limited tools at our disposal, and thus must use whatever we can. Besides, the wyvern is one of the only monsters that require this method."

"Whatever," Naruto grumbled, totally not buying it. Thinking about her words, he continued, "So I'm guessing you want me to injure it for you?"

"Yes," Kiyome said with a nod before clarifying, "I found this wyvern five weeks ago. I've been watching it since. My hope has been that it would battle with another monster and get injured, but it appears this general area is devoid of monsters of the caliber necessary. Likely why it chose this place. At this rate I'll never get the opportunity to tame it. It appears you have the power necessary to defeat it."

"Yeah. Based on that little spat, I can definitely handle that little beastie," Naruto proclaimed confidently. He then smirked as he asked, "What's in it for me though, Abe-senpai?"

Kiyome looked hesitant as she mumbled quietly, "Darn it. This must be what people mean when they say 'making a deal with the devil'. I've diligently done my best to distance myself from the devils in my school. Yet I now need the aid of one. I really want to add that wyvern to my collection, but I really don't want to lose my soul in the process. What a conundrum."

"Ara ara, you don't know anything, Abe-senpai. I don't want your soul. I want…" Naruto claimed with a wide. A little too wide for anyone that knows him to believe it to totally be innocent. Kiyome didn't know that though, and looked at him curiously. Leaning close to her, Naruto finished, "-your virginity."

"W-What?! T-That's even worse," Kiyome proclaimed as she recoiled from him. She looked ready to run from him by that point.

Until Naruto burst out laughing. Falling to his knees, Naruto pounded on the ground with a fist as he burst out gleefully, "Haha! Your-Your face. Haha! You should have seen it."

Unfortunately, being part of Rias' peerage meant Naruto's pranks had been drastically reduced. So Naruto had to look for entertainment from other sources.

He had quickly made a habit of messing with the clients that were more unsure about dealing with devils. It actually helped somewhat.

Yeah, they were kind of annoyed, but Naruto's behavior also tended to destroy any tension they felt.

"We don't require stuff like that, unless you want something really big," Naruto informed her as he managed to recover. He then pulled out his list and handed it to the annoyed monster tamer as he told her, "You said you've been coming here frequently for five weeks, right? I need to gather those ingredients. Can you help me?"

"Kappa. Monkey yokai. Mermaids. Golden Death flowers," Kiyome muttered as she quickly scanned the list. She then looked at him and claimed easily, "Sure. These are easy. Well, easy to find. Actually getting them is quite a bit more complicated."

"I can deal with that. If you can just lead me to the proper areas, I can do the rest," Naruto claimed confidently. Holding out his hand for a hand shake, he explained to her, "If you are willing to do that, I'll injure big and ugly. Deal?"

Kiyome looked at his offered hand suspiciously. "No losing my soul?"

"Nope."

"No taking my virginity?"

"Well, I wouldn't say no. You're far from unattractive. I might come for that in the future, but it wouldn't be as payment for doing this. Trust me. If I'm going to take your virginity, it'll be after you beg for me to take it."

Kiyome looked wholly unamused by his cocky statement. Pinching the bridge of her nose in irritation, she replied, "Moving on from the absurd…If its just for today, I guess I can help you."

"That works."

Taking a deep breath, Kiyome muttered, "Sorry, Mother, Father. It looks like I'll have to go against your warnings." She then shook Naruto's hand, sealing the deal.

Grinning widely, Naruto started stretching out his arms in preparation to beat down a certain wyvern. "Anything I should know before I do this?"

"The claws on the ends of its wings are dangerously sharp, and it has incredible jaw strength," Kiyome informed him.

"Avoid the claws and teeth. Wow. Never would have thought of that myself," Naruto remarked sarcastically.

Kiyome ignored him in favor of continuing, "Make sure not to kill it, but it will have to be incapacitated for at least 3-5 days. That is the typical amount of time it takes to earn the trust of a wyvern. If it recovers too early, it could attack me."

"Got it," Naruto announced before bending his legs. He then took a mighty leap in the direction the wyvern had gone.

It was far closer than Naruto would have imagined. Like fifty meters. Landing on a nearby rock, the wyvern snarled at Naruto.

Which he ignored in favor of examining the creature. He hadn't taken the opportunity in their previous fight. It looked to be about four meters tall.

Naruto quickly decided it didn't much resemble a dragon, just like Kiyome had said before. Most dragons seem to resemble lizards with wings. This thing looked like a bird with scales.

It was standing on its back two legs, its arms were wings instead. It had a surprisingly large head, with a beak filled with rather vicious looking teeth. It was a dull green color.

The small little depression it was in was clearly its home. There was pile of wood nearby that was made into a nest. The bones from its many meals also littered the area.
