Chapter 42 - Academy(1)

Today's the day that the academy starts. Lilith came back two days ago like Cain and they had a blast together. Although there was a minor event that almost caused a massive amount of destruction if it wasn't for the fact that Naruto stepped in.

It began when Lilith was excited about showing something that she learned to do in her world. Apparently, she can transform her body from that of an ȧduŀt's to a child's. When she showed her new trick to Naruto, he was a little confused but nonetheless happy for her. He was puzzled as to why she was so happy about transforming and it was as if she read his mind, Lilith told him the reason. When he heard it, he felt a little happy that she learned it for him so that he didn't need to transform when they went out but at the same time, it made him a little worried.

And so, they went to hang out. An Anbu was ready to follow Naruto out of the house and Naruto knew that. In order to avoid getting attention, he decided to turn invisible and decided to escape from the window. Turns out, Lilith can also go invisible. Naruto couldn't understand how lightning can turn invisible but if a piece of nature can have human form, why can't they have more magical powers?

As they were walking together, Lilith finally got to see what Naruto had experienced his entire life. The stares made her a little uncomfortable but it was the blatant unreasonable hatred that they had for Naruto was what agitated her the most. Since Naruto was Lilith's left, he couldn't see the small sparks of white lightning forming on her right hand for every second that passed.

Then came the minor event. A store owner that just opened the restaurant saw that Naruto and Lilith were walking together and were enjoying each other's company. He disliked the fact that Naruto was having a good time so he decided to do something that almost got him killed.

Store Owner: "Hey look!" This got people's attention. "It's the demon and his snow devil mistress." Naruto has been through enough to the point where he was numb to insults and taunts but Lilith wasn't. She stopped her steps and slowly turned around to face the owner. The store owner didn't know why but when she turned around, he felt scared. Sweat started pouring from his body and his heart rate spiked greatly.

Lilith's black eyes seemed like the endless abyss as it sought to take his very soul. Nothing could be more terrifying than the stare the store owner received from Lilith. If anything, the store owner would rather face another attack from the Fox Demon than be looking at her but, he couldn't look away. There was almost an invisible force that made him look at her the entire time.

Black clouds start to appear all around but no sign of rain showed. Since no one was connected to the Lightning World, they couldn't see white lightning circling the area like soldiers almost ready to swarm the place. And it wasn't just the owner, the entire Leaf was in this range of attack but most of it was concentrated right above the store owner. Naruto saw this happening and sighed but at the same time, he was quite amazed by the capabilities of Lilith.

Lilith: "What did you just say to me?" she asked him calmly.

Store Owner: "..." He couldn't talk nor could he breathe. He felt like the oxygen around him left because they feared this little girl but he couldn't do anything about it. With the lack of oxygen, he started to suffocate and fell on his knees as he tried to take in deep breaths. This was unsuccessful as he still couldn't breathe and his face became bright red and his eyes became bloodshot. The small crowd was mostly staring at Naruto and Lilith so a good amount of them missed this happening. There were ones who noticed this abnormal situation but didn't what to do about it. In fact, they couldn't move in that direction as they felt frozen every time they did.

A hand grabbed Lilith's shoulder and she turned her neck to see that it was Naruto. He shook his head to let her know that she shouldn't continue. Especially with a crowd forming. Lilith respected Naruto's wishes but right before she left, she gave a small gift to the store owner.

Lilith: "Hmph." is what she sounded out before she turned around to leave with Naruto. This sound she made however increased the gravity around the owner by ten for a second which resulted in the person crashing to the ground heavily. Cracks formed around the owner as he realized that now he had broken bones everywhere and has internal injuries. Before passing out, the last thought he had was that he shouldn't probably mess with Naruto anymore.

Naruto chuckled inwardly at Lilith's antics and did not disprove of her actions. It's not like he can anyway. She could do destroy this world and he would have to smile and accept it happening. Using an alley to get away from sight, they decided to head to the lake to have the picnic. She proposed that they should race to the lake and there should be a bet too.

Looking at the lake from a distance, Naruto felt a little bitter. He knew for a fact that he couldn't win so he simply went with the flow to make her happy.

Lilith: "Okay. So if I win the race, I get 60% of the sandwiches you made and you treat me to a good place for dinner." she said as she got more excited thinking about the delicious food.

Naruto: "Alright. What do I get if I win?" he asked for fun.

Lilith: "Hmmm... how about you get 60% of the sandwiches and you can get a hug from me." she giggled. Naruto didn't know what to say. It was his sandwiches they were betting on and the extra prize is a hug? Naruto did think that the hug might be worth it as the last time they hugged, it was pretty awesome. Agreeing to her conditions, they got into position. Naruto activated Lightning Mode V2 immediately. "3. 2. 1. Go!" And they set off.

Since the night was yet to come, they went to the theater to watch Lover's Plight and its sequel, Lover's Plight 2. The drama level was just as good as the first movie and Naruto was satisfied with the ending. Lilith was still a bit new to the whole concept of movies so although she liked it, she wasn't heavily invested.

Dinner time came around and they immediately set out to Ichirakus. Lilith demolished Naruto's record for food by eating 68 bowls of ramen without feeling full. Normally, this would've have been a cool event to celebrate but it was his money that was disappearing, not Lilith's. Ayame asked where Lilith was from but all Naruto said was that she is a foreign friend that occasionally visits. Seeing how friendly Lilith and Naruto were, Ayame started to tease them but ended up being teased back instead as Naruto asked her how much experience she had with other guys. This resulted in Ayame refusing to give Naruto ramen until Naruto apologized to which he did a few seconds later.

Finishing their dinner, they headed home late and decided to sleep after they individually showered. Naruto and Lilith once again shared a bed but this time, there was no dream vision so he had a very enjoyable slumber. While Naruto was asleep, Lilith opened her eyes. She looked at his face and found him more appealing to her every time they met. Carrying a gentle smile on her face, she decided to get closer to him so that she could cuddle with him a little more.
