“It probably would’ve been smart if you actually asked her when she got out of school.” Naruto huffed as Kurama’s voice ranged through his head.
The boy glanced at his wrist to look at his non-existent watch, causing him to sigh.
He really needed to get one of those.
“It’s not my fault.
I was still a little shocked at the fact that my girlfriend was a devil who apparently is basically enslaved to another teenage girl.
It’s not something you learn about every night.” Naruto uttered back sarcastically at the tailed beast.
The giant fox let out a deep chuckle before going silent, signalling that it had dropped the issue with the boy.
“Stupid foxes and their smart ass remarks.
And stupid school, I’m not even in it and it’s annoying me.” Naruto huffed out while crossing his arms.
The blonde haired boy stood directly outside the school’s entrance.
He was leaning against the brick wall that surrounded the entirety of the campus.
The sun was high in the sky and didn’t look to be setting any time soon.
“Can I ask why you are leaning against my campus walls?” Naruto’s head shot up at the sudden sound of a voice.
He was surprised to see the same black haired girl who had attempted to berate Koneko standing in front of him.
The girl was wearing the same school outfit and had the same stoic face that she had entered his shop with.
Standing beside her, however, was a new girl.
The best way to describe her was a tall, black haired beauty in a school girl’s outfit with glasses.
“I’m waiting for someone.
Do you girls happen to know when the school day ends?” Naruto asked the girl, ignoring the glare the tall one was sending him.
The boy in front of her was obviously not normal or at least not stupid, considering the fact that he had been present when Koneko had her ears and tail out.
Just how much did he actually know about the girl or the supernatural world was the real question she wanted answered.
“That information is none of your business.
You’re free to wait for that person outside the boundaries of the campus.” Sona spoke as she looked Naruto in the eye.
The two had a small stare off for several long seconds before Naruto finally relented.
The boy released a loud sigh before pushing himself off the wall and turning his back to the girls.
He took several steps away from the girls and it looked like he was about to leave before he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“I’m sorry girls but I can’t make it that easy for you.” And with that, Naruto brought himself down into a crouch before sending himself flying through the air into a backflip.
Tsubaki and Sona watched in shock as the blonde-haired boy flew over their heads before landing several feet behind them in a crouch.
The teen slowly stood to his full height, dusted off his clothing with his hands before flashing a smile to the girls.
“I think I’ll just explore the campus while I’m waiting.
Catch me if you can.” And with that, Naruto went dashing off towards the school, leaving Sona and Tsubaki standing in shock.
“Gather the rest of the peerage and catch that boy before the end of the school day.
I will not let that delinquent run wild on campus!” Sona uncharastically yelled at Tsubaki.
The girl hesitated for a moment before shooting her king a small nod and disappearing on the spot.
Koneko sighed to herself as her eyes glanced up to the clock once again.
The two tiny arms inside the machine didn’t seem to have moved since the last time she checked it.
Her eyes glanced back to the teacher who was drawling on about some basic math.
Her attention was stolen away from the teacher when she heard a very faint knocking.
They saw absolutely nothing but the campus grounds, making them believe they had just imagined it.
Their attention was brought back to the teacher after a couple of seconds of searching, albeit with a lot of reluctance.
Several minutes passed before another knock, this one much quieter, caught Koneko’s attention.
She glanced to the window once again and was surprised to see her boyfriend smiling at her from outside the window.
The boy waved at her before pointing to the door of the classroom.
Koneko rolled her eyes at the boy before shooting the clock a quick glance.
She still had a full 30 minutes before the class ended and she honestly didn’t think she was going to last that long.
She nodded at the boy before turning her attention back into the classroom, raising her hand and asking the teacher to be excused to use the bathroom.
The man relented to her request and Koneko dashed out of the room, her books and bag in hand.
Koneko didn’t even manage to take a step out the school building before she was snatched into the arms of her boyfriend.
A smile slowly made its way onto her face as she was lifted off her feet and into the arms of the person she loved.
“Hey there Ko-chan.
Sorry but I couldn’t really wait any longer, especially knowing that you were within petting distance.” Koneko nodded as the boy placed her bag on his back and let the girl back down onto her feet.
“Did you bring an-” Koneko was interrupted when Naruto placed a large lollipop in her mouth.
The girl blinked at the sudden taste of the treat but immediately began to lick and gnaw on it.
Naruto let out a chuckle as he watched the girl attack the sucker with her mouth.
“So from what I’ve learned in my brief time here, we have about 30 minutes until your school ends.
What do you want to do?” Koneko took several seconds to enjoy the treat given to her by the blonde-haired teen before removing it from her mouth with a small pop and responding.
