Chapter Seven – Saiyan Knightmare

Naruto had awoken not long after Kallen left. When asked by the others what had happened he just said that his division had been slaughtered by the Brittanian forces and

he had just managed to escape.

No one seen the grief that was in his eyes, due to the amount of experience he had in hiding it from others. Chichi and Bulma had caught him out and made him talk about

it. Surprisingly enough it was Android 18 who had been there the most for him. Hell, even his brother had given him a good telling off from staying in the past. Unfortunately,

due to the amount of time alone, it had risen back up and going out with Kallen (who looks a bit like Sakura) had not helped much.

He tried to tell the truth the Kallen, so many times, but he couldn't tell her the truth. About who he was and where he came from. His past was terrible and he felt like it

should be his own burden.

Naruto had returned back to Narita later on and seen the horrible condition the battle had left on the landscape and the toll of human life. He had talked to Lelouch about it,

but the boy seemed out of it slightly, going on about how he had missed Cornelia.

Flashback

"We won today Naruto. We showed Britannia what we are made of" Lelouch had said.

"Yes, you won Lelouch. But at what cost? How many people had to die today for your own needs" Naruto spat out.

"They were just Britannian soldiers"

"But there were civilians still in the settlement there. They were still being evacuated when you activated the landslide"

"Their sacrifice was a necessary thing for our revolution" Lelouch replied, not even looking at him.

Naruto looked disgusted with him.

"Where is the boy who I used to play chess with? The boy who played with his sisters" Naruto whispered.

"He is but a distant memory. All there is now is the future I will make"

End Flashback

Naruto had stormed out of Zeros private room then and had not spoken to the boy properly since. He had sent a few henged clones to the clean-up zone to help

survivors and clear the dead for burial.

Until the next battle the part time students returned to school life until they were needed again.

Shirley looked troubled, as she sat in one of the School Council's meeting rooms. She kept fidgeting with what looked like an envelope and humming in thought.

"Okay, what's got you looking so worried? Constipated? Your Monthly?" Milly asked as she looked up from her laptop.

"That's not it"

"Ah. You're lonely because Lelouch isn't here aren't you" Milly smiled.

"It's just that he is always gone and Kallen is gone too, again" Shirley muttered.

"Oh so carefree. While the world grapples about what happened in Narita. Suzaku has been gone for two days because of that too".

"I know but Lulu and Kallen gone on the same day. That's serious" Shirley said.

"You do remember that she is engaged to Naruto right?" Nina said as she momentarily stopped her work.

"Yeah I keep getting worked up though" Shirley admitted.

Milly giggled.

"I envy you Shirley. That's what I love about you!"

Nina looked up in surprise at the two.

"Don't make fun of me" Shirley said, slapping the envelope on the table.

"Then just tell him already! It's just three simple words. 'I like you'" Milly said.

"I…I just couldn't. What if…if…?"

"What if he rejects me" Milly mimicked "It could ruin our great friendship" and then laughed lightly.

"You don't have to laugh that hard you know?" Shirley mumbled.

"It's comfortable now…this place. The way we are now" Milly said, looking out a window.

"Yeah, it is"

"Still, we should prepare ourselves a bit. The fact is nothing stays the same forever you know" she said looking longingly outside.

Shirley looked down.

"Oh forget it. Please don't take me to seriously" she said with a smile.

Seeing no better emotion on the girls face, she spoke again.

"Why don't you just ask him the next time you see him. How about it on your end?" she asked a figure that just entered the room.

The three turned to find Lelouch entering the room.

"L…lulu. I thought you were absent today"

"Nunnally had a small fever this morning. Sayoko was busy, so I stayed home to look after her" he said and walked over to the table.

"Really? You don't say. Is Nunna feeling better now?"

"A bit. Madame president, do you have that paperwork?"

"Oh right. Make sure you organize them by year and class, okay?" Milly responded.

"Yeah I will. You have a talent of ordering people around" he replied, picking a pile of paper up from the desk and moving out of the room.

"And you're a great subordinate" Milly said, sarcastically.

"Subordinate? I guess that is what I am huh?" he mumbled before leaving.

"I have to go pick something up from the chem lab. Bye" Nina said, before rushing out the door also.

"Oh! Madame President you almost gave me a heart attack doing that" she complained, before looking down for her ticket. Only to find it missing. She then stormed out of

the room.

"Never a dull moment around here" Milly mumbled "Get in here you lazy ass before I drag you in"

The door opened again to reveal Naruto, looking at her in amazement.

"How do you always know where I am?"

"Instinct"

Naruto snorted and walked in, with the door shutting behind him. He then locked it.

"What are you doing?" Milly asked.

"We have to talk Milly"

"Oh, but business hours are almost over" she joked, giving him a smile.

"This isn't about the school Milly" he said, stopping in front of her "This is about us"

"Huh?"

He led her to a chair and sat her down on it, before sitting on one next to her.

"I know you like me Milly. It is painfully obvious to me"

"What are you talking about?" she said, putting up a fake smile.

"Stop covering it up Milly. I am not angry. Hell you had a talk with Kallen about this before, didn't you?"

Milly looked downcast and nodded.

"Kallen got to you before me Naruto. Nothing can change that" she mumbled.

"True, she did. But I have room in my heart for you as well. You should know that I love you Milly. That is no lie. We've known each other for years".

"But you can't be with me" Milly said, with tears falling down her face "The law states that you can only marry one person".

"Then you have never heard of the resurrection law then"

"The what?"

"You know how the Emperor has…well I don't know the exact amount but it is more than thirty…wives. Well if someone is the last of his family and are of some noble blood, they

may do the same, but on a smaller scale"

"And you are?"

"Yes. In a way I am" he partially lied.

"I don't know Naruto. It seems sketchy to me" she mumbled and hugged herself.

Naruto got off his chair and lifted her head, so to see her eyes.

"You're a beautiful woman Milly. And Kallen doesn't mind either. There would be no one but us" Naruto said.

"But I don't love women. I mean I may joke about it, but it is only to mess with people's heads"

Naruto laughed.

"I'm not asking you to love Kallen, but to just get along with each other".

"I…I need to think on it" she mumbled.

Naruto smiled and then kissed her softly on the lips, before walking away.

"Whatever your answer, I will always be there for you Milly. That's a promise" he said. He unlocked the door and walked away.

"A promise huh?"

Later

Back in the Black Knights hideout, the 'command' team were having a meeting on recent events that has happened.

Zero was sitting to the side, with Kallen, Naruto and Tamaki. Ohgi was giving him an update.

"Kyoto praised us for using the Guren Mark 2, so well. I thought that was encouraging"

"True but that White knightmare is going to be a pain" Naruto commented, as Kallen snuggled up to him, reading a book.

"Don't worry about it. It was a tie" Tamaki replied, waving it off.

Ohgi then handed an envelope to Zero.

"Here. A love letter"

"Oh? Is it from you?" he joked, taking it.

"Hahaha. And they say you have no sense of humour" Tamaki laughed.

"You laugh too much" Kallen said, scowling at him, before calming down when Naruto massaged her shoulder.

"It's an official letter from Kyoto. They urgently request a meeting with us" Ohgi explained.

"Is this really a big deal?" Zero asked.

"A big deal? It's Kyoto!"

"If they accept us, it means funding and support. It could solve our financial situation" Ohgi continued.

"What financial situation?" Naruto butted in "There should be no problem with money, if you are following the budget that was made". He eyed Tamaki.

"Hey, it's not my fault! We're turning into a big organization now. That means new expenses you know" Tamaki said.

"Like fancy dinners for the new recruits so you can show off" Kallen smirked.

"Hey you…"

"I know where you have been taking them, big spender"

"Huh? You know about that?"

"We'll put Ohgi in charge of the treasury for now" Zero said, with Naruto nodding in agreement.

"Hold it right there! That's my job" Tamaki complained.

"If you want me to trust you, then show me some results" Zero replied.

"Did you actually just say to trust a guy who hides behind a mask all day, even from his partners" Tamaki barked back, causing the other members to show more interest.

"How about it Zero, huh?"

"Tamaki! You are crossing the line" Naruto grilled out.

"Zeros identity is not the problem here. Who cares who he is? He had the skill to outwit Cornelia's outfit, didn't he? That is why he is the leader of the Black Knights. Do

you really need to know more?"

Tamaki grunted and looked away.

"I need time to think on the current knowledge we have. Give me space until I solve this" Zero commented and left for his private room upstairs.

The rest of the members (except Naruto and Kallen) got up and left the vehicle before entering the side building.

"What do we do now then?" Tamaki said.

"I don't know. I mean originally we were Naoto's unit. I don't mind his kid sister Kallen, but…" Kento said.

"You were next in line after him. You shouldn't have moved over for him. I mean even Naruto could have been leader" Tamaki commented.

"We all know Naruto has never wanted to lead this group" Ohgi replied.

"Yeah. But have you noticed how much he is sticking up for Zero. What if they are both playing us…?"

"Tamaki!" Ohgi yelled, as the man defended Naruto.

"Sorry. It's just that ever since Zero showed up, we have been small fries in this organisation" Tamaki mumbled.

"No one said anything about leadership at Narita" Ohgi added.

"That's because Zero practically forced us" Inoue said.

"We are the senior leaders and he still keeps secrets from us" Yoshida said.

A few nights later, the reduced gang (Kallen, Naruto, Zero, Tamaki and Ohgi) had turned up near Mount Fuji, in preparation of being picked up

by one of the Kyoto staff. It was in some nearby ruined buildings. Zero had told the rest of them to stay put nearby, while he went and spoke to the driver alone.

"What the hell is he doing?" Tamaki snarled.

"Making sure that there are no 'surprises' in wait for us" Naruto explained.

Suddenly the sound a car could be heard and a limo could be seen turning the corner towards them.

"Get in" Zero told them as he opened the door from the inside as it stopped.

They did as they were told and then the car took off into a nearby car tunnel. They couldn't see outside due to the darkness of the tunnel and the

curtains on the inner windows. After a long amount of time, someone started to lose patience. Guess who?

"This is taking too long. When are we going to get there?"

Tamaki of course.

"Ah, could you chill out your embarrassing" Kallen snarled, as she tapped her arm.

"Naruto. Control your woman" Tamaki said to the blonde, only to notice he wasn't paying attention.

Naruto was paying attention to one thing. The gap in Kallen's uniform, showing off some of her fine legs.

"Enjoying yourself love" Kallen whispered in his ear seductively, stroking some of her skin.

"Very. Your legs are killer Kallen Chan"

"Hey. Knock it off you two. This is serious" Ohgi butted in, causing the two to blush.

All of a sudden the car came to a stop causing the occupants to shift slightly. Then they could feel the car moving upwards.

"We're going up?" Kallen wondered.

"Yes. We are in a lift by the looks of it" Naruto said, peeking out the window.

The lift stopped and the car drove on for about twenty metres before stopping. The back doors opened by the chauffeur, to let them out.

"Sorry for the inconvenience. The master is waiting for you"

They got out of the car to find themselves in a large room, with pipes on one side and a large (from the ground to the ceiling) window on the other.

"This is…the Fuji mines?" Ohgi gasped.

"That is impossible. There is no way we could be here" Tamaki said staring out the window in awe.

"It has to be Mount Fuji. There is only one mountain like this here" Kallen added.

"Well we were near the mountain guys. Plus we did get driven a long way and went up a lift for a while" Naruto said, wondering how they couldn't

believe it. They all chose to ignore him though causing him to pout.

"You mean Sakuradite is below us? The stuff that caused this whole war" Tamaki said "Do you know what they do to intruders here? They execute them".

"Their power reaches all the way to here. The Kyoto group truly is amazing" Ohgi mumbled.

"It's repulsive".

They all turned to find a man, hidden slightly by an old transparent tapestry, sitting with a cane in his hands. By the look of the hands, he must be

old. He was flanked by armed security.

"Mount Fuji. A sacred mountain, once known for its clear water and quite beauty. And now it is bent to the Empires will. A place of hideous violation.

A reflection of what Japan has become. It pains me so"

Naruto turned to look at Zero for a moment remembering what he had told him the other day.

Flashback

"Lelouch, about this meeting we are heading to?" Naruto asked.

"What about it?"

"Due to the size of this group, they will probably have armed guards. And if what you have told me is true, then you will be trying to take advantage of them, correct?"

"Yes"

"Well since we are not allowed to take weapons with us, then do you wish me to do something for you there?"

"There will be no need to show your power yet. Keep it until it is needed most"

"Oh?"

"I will handle everything. You see I have a plan" Lelouch grinned at him.

End Flashback

"I apologise for not showing you my face. But Zero, your face is hidden as well. Unfortunately, I cannot allow this. To trust you, I must know who you are.

Therefore…you will show me your face" the man ordered.

Suddenly four armed knightmares appeared out of the nearby shadows and approached the group.

"Please wait! Zero has given us power and victory. That should…" Kallen pleaded.

"SILENCE" the man ordered "Now, which of you is Ohgi"

"Uh I am" Ohgi spoke up.

"You will be the one to remove Zeros mask"

Ohgi looked slightly disturbed, before moving in front of Zero.

"Ohgi!" Kallen yelled.

"I am sorry Zero. But we need a reason to trust you too. So help us…to trust you" Ohgi said, before removing Zeros helmet.

"A woman" Tamaki cried out

"It can't be" Ohgi gasped.

'It's you!' Naruto thought, shocked that he had been deceived into thinking it was Lelouch.

"It's not. This isn't Zero! I saw her before…with Zero after Narita!" Kallen shouted out.

"You there, girl! Is this true?"

"It is" C.C said.

"And you are not Japanese?"

'Don't do anything stupid C.C' Naruto thought.

"That is correct clan chief of Kyoto, Taizou Kirihara"

'God damn it'

"Huh" one of the guards uttered out.

"Anyway who can identify him must die" the other said, taking out his gun.

"Especially by someone who is not Japanese!"

"Hey, hold on. I am not a part of this" Tamaki cried out, with his hands up in terror.

Suddenly one of the Knightmares fired its Slash Harkens, disarming two other suits. It then used its combat knife to put down another

before speeding across the ground and aimed its gun at the clan head.

"Your soft and your methods and thinking are outdated" a voice came from it. The pilot canopy opened to reveal the real Zero, with a device in hand.

"That is why you will never win"

"Zero?" Kallen uttered.

"When did you?" a guard wondered, before aiming his gun at him.

"Hold it! He has a remote trigger. He can still fire with that thing. Everyone stay back" the other guard stopped him and the recovered Knightmares.

"Taizou Kirihara" Zero said as he hoped down from the Knightmare and walked towards him "Founder of Kirihara Industries, which has a

monopoly on Sakuradite mining. Formerly a key backer of the Kururugi regime. However, since Japans defeat, you dodged the tribunals by collaborating

with the colonial rulers. Also known as Kirihara the Traitor"

Kiriharu looked intrigued as he stared through the thin sheet at the masked man.

"However, in reality, you are one of the leaders of the 'Six Houses of Kyoto', who fund resistance groups throughout Japan. A double agent…how cliché"

"Stay back you swine and show some respect…" a guard shouted, before he was interrupted.

"Stop!" his leader commanded.

"It is as you guessed though. I am not Japanese" he said shocking the Black Knights (except Naruto).

"Is he serious? No wonder he never showed us his face" Ohgi said as he tried to stare past the large Knightmare that was blocking their view of the

masked man.

"If you are not Japanese, then why do you fight for Japan? What is it you want?" Taizou asked.

"The destruction of Britannia"

"And so, do you believe this is possible? That you can do it?"

"I can because I must. I have reasons which compel me inexorably. I am glad I am dealing with you" Zero said, before slipping off his mask.

"You…!" Taizou said, as he stared at the man behind the mask.

"It has been a long time, Lord Kirihara"

"Is it really you? It has been 8 years since that family received you as a hostage"

"Yes. And I appreciate you taking care of me at the time" Zero responded.

"If I had not come tonight, were you planning on taking a messenger hostage?"

"Not at all. I came to ask for your help that is all"

"So, the flower planted 8 years ago has finally bloomed…" Taizou said and then started to laugh.

"I can't see anything" Tamaki complained, trying to get a better view but was stopped by Kallen.

"Ohgi!"

"Yes Sir!" he replied.

"This man is a true mortal enemy of Britannia. His face must remain hidden for vital reasons. I urge to follow Zero and I guarantee that if you

do, we will assist you generously with intelligence and strategic support"

"We thank you"

What was said between the two leaders next was missed, before Zero approached them. They were given a car ride back to where they were

picked up. All the way home Ohgi, Tamaki and Kallen kept staring at the masked man. They wondered how he knew such a powerful man as Kirihara.

When they returned back, they separated and went their own ways. Kallen and Naruto decided to go and change, before getting something to eat.

The next couple of days though, were a little different. News buzzed around school that Shirley's father was killed in action at Narita. Naruto was

not as bothered as he was used to death, but felt slightly guilty due to it being a friend's family member. Kallen was not so upset due to her not

knowing Shirley that well. And as far as he could see Lelouch was quieter than he usually was.

The whole Student Council appeared at the funeral to support the grieving girl in her time of need. The girl's mother was crying her eyes out and denying

that it had happened, wishing that he would come back to life.

'There is a large difference between this world and the earth I stayed on with Vegeta, Goku and the others. They had the dragonballs, if anything went

wrong. It seems like a fairy tale compared to this' he had thought to himself at one point.

The other members of the council started to get angry at the Black Knights for what they had been doing. Even Suzaku started to complain at them, which

irked Naruto a bit. They left Lelouch and Shirley to talk while they started to head back to the Academy. Naruto started to head back to his room, telling Kallen

that he would see her later.

Later that Night

Naruto was sound asleep in his bed, when he awoke to the sound of his door being closed gently. He grabbed a knife quietly, to protect himself and extended

his senses. It smelled like a girl and a familiar one at that. The sound of clothes being dropped were heard and then the blankets were moved aside. The bed then

dipped, before two arms encircled him and two mounds pushed into his back.

"Are you awake?"

"Milly?"

"Uh huh" she whispered.

Naruto quickly dropped the knife to the side of the bed and turned onto his other side to look straight at her. She was clad only in bra and panties.

"What…what are you doing here?"

"I thought long about what you said to me about being together. I…I can't live without you anymore Naruto. It hurts seeing you with Kallen and not being able to

do the same. So I went and spoke to Kallen again after we left the funeral and she agreed to it".

"How did you get in?"

"She gave me a key for your room"

Milly blushed as he looked at her gorgeous body. She moved forward until she was right in front of his face.

"Are you sure about this?" he whispered.

"More than anything" she replied and pushed her lips to his.

To them both it seemed like an eternity passed before they separated. Mini fireworks going off all around them. They both gasped for breath, staring into each

other's eyes. Naruto turned onto his back and pulled her on top of him. She laid her head on his chest.

"Sorry if you wanted anything else, but I am very tired" he told her.

"Don't worry, I need sleep tonight as well. We have that council meeting tomorrow anyway" she replied and snuggled into him.

He just smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her, before they both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, they awoke to someone banging on the rooms door.

"What the hell? Who is it at this time?" he mumbled before looking down, to find at some point in the night he was now spooning Milly, looking away from the door.

"Hey Naruto"

"Shit it's Rivalz!" he whispered.

"Come on man your late" Rivalz shouted and stormed into the room.

He paused in shock as he seen the bare backed Naruto glaring at him.

"What the hell Rivalz, get out of here" he shouted at the boy.

"Sorry" he shouted in reply and rushed out the door blushing. He slammed it shit behind him.

"Huh? What the hell?" Milly said, waking up.

"Good morning Milly"

"Morning Naru Kun"

"We have to get up. We are late for school. And you forgot to lock the door"

"Aww, but I want to stay like this. And I thought I did." she said backing up against him and grinding against his leg.

"As much as I would like that too, we will get in trouble for not being there. And didn't you say your grandfather needed to speak to you before it starts"

"Oh no, your right" she gasped before, hoping out the bed, causing her breasts to bounce in the tight lingerie.

"Damn hormones" Naruto grunted trying to cover himself.

She slipped on her uniform and gave him a kiss, before skipping out the room.

Naruto sighed in relief, before staring out the window. He looked out to see a strange guy standing on one of the buildings roofs, wearing headphones.

'Who the hell is that?' he thought.

Suddenly the guy turned around and smirked up at him, before taking off in the opposite direction.

"Well that was strange"

Well that was chapter Seven of the story. I am currently writing the next chapter just now, due to having free time to do so at the moment.
