"But..." Jiang Wei squinted her eyes, "only if you can beat me in a fight."

The three men, or two at least, laughed in contempt, this beauty thought they were a bunch of vegetarians who never fought before?

"Honey, please be realistic, whether, in a top of hard ground or 'soft ground', we could easily overpower you!" The red-streak haired man sneered.

"It better if you just come with us, we need your stamina elsewhere!" The skull-mark man rubbed his chin and leered at her.

"Hummm... hic, hic" The blue-vest man cried, he held the BlackBerry in his hand like it was his puppy.

"Oh? Then you shouldn't worry about me losing stamina, right?" Jiang Wei flung her raven hair over the shoulder, "after all, you guys can overpower me."

"Tch, if you really so dying to taste our majestic then fine!" The red-streak haired man twitched his lips, he glanced at the skull-mark man, "you, go!"

"Me?" He pointed his burly finger at his own face.

"Yeah who else?!"

"Grrr, Lady I hope you won't regret!" He gritted his teeth.

"Less chat, more action, come!" Jiang Wei turned around and went forward several steps from the stall.

The sidewalk at this period of hours rather devoid of any pedestrian, most of them already holed up in some dark corner of the bar in wine street or engaged in passionate activity in sort of creepy love hotel.

"C-customer, aren't you worried about your girlfriend?" The seller weirdly looked at Naruto who leaned his back against the extended table in leisure.

"Eh, let her have her fun..." Naruto chuckled, he glanced at the blue-vest man who still cried, he fished out his wallet and took out a hundred dollar, "here dude, I'm sorry about your phone."

The man startled before he looked at Naruto with complicated eyes, he slowly extended his shivering hand and took the money. The red-streak haired focused his eyes on the eve of battle that about to happen in front of him thus he failed to notice their interaction.

"Take your shot pretty, I'm not going to put up any defense," the skull-mark man put both his hand on his waist, stood up tall, and pushed out his chest.

"The deal was you beating me in a fight, not the other way around," Jiang Wei shook her head, before she curled her lips, "do you have that short-span of memory like a donkey?"

"Did you just call me a donkey?" Anger flared on his face.

"Oh? Your ears do not even work properly? I take my word, you're worst than a donkey..." Jiang Wei sighed in exasperation.

"You seems tired of living, I'm going to fuck you, really hard after this," he clenched his hands until they're trembling.

"Bla, blah, chatter, chatter, all bark but no spark, like an old wolf with no fangs," Jiang Wei held out her lips and let out a yawn.

"Enough!" The skull-mark man pranced toward Jiang Wei, he opened his right palm, extended his arm toward his right, and swung it hard at Jiang Wei's cheek.

"Customer, your girlfriend!" The seller jumped in fright, he couldn't stand watching such a violent act toward a pretty flower.

On the other hand, Naruto just observed the spectacle with indifferent.

At the moment of impact between the palm and her cheek, Jiang Wei leaned toward her right a little, she jabbed the man right shoulder, pushing his right side slight backward also losing his slap momentum, then she slid her right foot and uppercut his chin with her left fist, the man about to look upward but she followed quickly with a right elbow toward the man's tummy, she put her arm around the man's head as he bent his body, she hooked his feet and twisted the man's head, causing him to rotate in the air and fell to her side.

Everyone except Naruto stared in shock at the fight's development, they thought the girl will be the one who knelt on the ground, then again, she won't suggest such a deal if she not capable to fight wasn't it?

The skull-mark man groaned, he felt dizzy and pain whether inside or outside his body, Jiang Wei snorted then looked at the red-streak haired man, "You, come here."

He shivered in the instant, especially after hearing her frosty voice, he bit his tongue, the pain lessened his fear as he stood up and walked forward. They stood face to face, after a while, the red-streak haired man lashed out his right leg, attempting to strike Jiang Wei's left waist.

"Whoops, he finished..." Naruto shook his head.

"Customer, what do you mean?" The seller gulped his saliva and glanced at Naruto.

"When it comes to kicking," a chuckle breezed from his mouth, "no one better than her."

Jiang Wei narrowed her eyes, in the instant, she raised her left leg and struck the man's knee, blasting away his attack, but not stopping there, she stood on her right feet and turned them slightly as her left one hit his stomach and chest in sequence, then she shifted her legs, with left one on the ground, she fiercely whipped the red-streak haired man's head with her right feet, trashing him into her side, she landed her right feet on the ground.

"See?" Naruto laughed, pride somehow roused within his heart.

"That was awesome!" The seller watched the battle in excitement, "your girlfriend such an amazing fighter!"

Naruto chuckled, he glanced the seller, "You are also a decent fighter aren't you, Sir?"

He startled, his eyes stared at Naruto with amusement, "How do you know?"

"Your knuckle is darker than the rest of your skin, and the way you raised your sleeve as if you usually had done that in the past, your bravery also proofs you not strange in battle."

The seller's face became red, he rubbed the back of his head while smiled sheepishly, "Hehe, customer have a great observation, I did once like to fight because of I formerly a people like them."

"What makes you retired?" Naruto raised his eyebrows.

The seller expression delayed for a while before he gently smiled, "A baby old daughter."

Naruto startled before he also smiled, closing his eyes and glanced back at Jiang Wei, "I see..."

The young lady coldly looked at the groaning men on the ground, her forehead broke out a sweat but only a little. They both looked at her with paleness, then glanced at the blue-vest man who absentmindedly staring at them, "What the fuck are you doing?! Quickly take out this bitch!" Jiang Wei shifted her eyes toward him too.

The blue-vest man sobered, he watched at his fallen comrades with a complicated gaze, he hesitated to fight against her, after all, this woman had easily taken down her enemy, his fighting prowess not even better than his friend, what are the odds for him to win?

He placed his hand on his pants then sensed something in his pocket, oh yeah, he had a knife! A small fruit knife he accidentally carried because he just ate a mango before, with this item, might be he could catch her off-guard and wounded her, thus winning the fight?

His body started flushed in spirit, imagined if he could beat her and they took her home, played with her from night to morning, then... then...

The blue-vest man glanced at the blonde who chatted with the seller, he remembered this man before wanted to pay off all of their debt even though they didn't know each other. Then gave him a single paper money for the loss he received, from the way this woman fight, this man should already know the outcome, yet still paid a money.

Why?

Was he feel pity for us?

"H-hey you..." The blue-vest man tone wavered.

"Um?" Naruto and the seller faced him with a confused look.

"Why did you... want to pay our debt before?"

"No particular reason," Naruto shrugged, "I just feel like it."

The blue-vest man startled before he let out a chuckle, he glanced at his friend, "I'm sorry, I won't be joining you."

"What?!" They widened their eyes to limit and gaped their mouth as large as a possible, even Jiang Wei couldn't help but surprised. The blue-vest man ignored their response and turned his body toward the seller, he handed out the hundred dollars, "Sir, this is our payment for our debt, is it sufficient?"

The seller's face froze for a while, then he hurriedly said to him: "this is more than enough, I give you an exchange!"

"No need sir... consider this as our apologize for causing you a trouble," the blue-vest man bowed his head, he glanced at Naruto, he nodded his head and strolled away from the stall. Leaving behind two people who angrily shouted their souls.

"Hey! If you ever looking for a job, I might need an assistant!" The seller ran from the grill and shouted. The blue-vest man waved his hand, strolling away like a cool guy. His figure faded into the darkness.

"I can't believe what just happening..." The seller mumbled.

"What's need for surprise, you experience this yourself, right?" Naruto chuckled, his gaze and Jiang Wei clashed against each other, "people's change, for the better, or the worse."

"We just need to give them a chance..." Naruto grinned brightly at her, "Rose, sweety, are you satisfied yet?"

Jiang Wei curled her lips, then flutter her eyelashes at him. Naruto let out a sigh, "well, take your times."

She turned around and strolled toward the horrified men, she massaged her fist as a crackling sounds reverberated in the area.

*Pa!* *Pa!* Pa!* *Bam!* Bam!* *Phew!* *Phew!* *Crack!*

"Customer, do you want a hot tea?" The seller took out a teapot, pouring a fragrant brownish water into two cups.

"Sure!" Naruto accepted one and took a sip. He stared at Jiang Wei who kicking her out frustration on the dummies ahead, "this might take a while..."

(***)

Zhong Hai City, southern area, midnight.

The building around glared their flashy lights and neons, at the hours of people supposedly visited the realm of dream, these places clamored with amourous laughs, a ringing of tons of metallic coins, and loud sounds in the background.

A figure flashed from rooftop to rooftop, one street lamp to another, even Rolls Royces failed to avoid this figure, leaving his dirty shoes marked their surface.

A beautiful woman laid on the bosom of this figure, hooking her arm around his neck. Her face excitedly swept the surrounding area.

"This is fun!" Jiang Wei giggled, even though a stormy wind hit her face and flapped her hair.

"Well my lady, this exclusive carriage need a special kind of fuel to run, so you better prepare to recharge it later," Naruto laughed as his feet kicked a wall, and his body rushed in the air,

"Eh, I give you a tictac!" She tittered while tightening her hug.

"I like tictac especially if it has your taste!" Naruto smirked as he looked at her.

"Ah, watch your front, pervert!" Horror flashed over her eyes.

"What would you give, if I can still move perfectly like this while kissing your lips?"

"No way! We might crash into a building!"

"How about three seconds of kissing to prove it?"

"Naruto, no-" Her voice blocked as Naruto already leaned in and seized her moist lips, flourishing her pink land with a rain of passionate touch. At the same time, his speed slowly decreased, he lashed out his feet and tapped on the street lamp, it created a small shockwave before his body launched to the air again. Naruto leaned backward, leaving an unforgettable fruit that was her lips. Her eyes glossed as if charmed, reddish figure smeared on her cheek.

"So?" A landslide caused a slope on his lips.

"Humph, don't get cocky, that just a small frame of time!" She threw her eyes away.

"Then, let's doing it longer this time, but you must give me a prize if I succeed!" He raised her a bit higher, making her face pasted on his cheek.

Jiang Wei flushed red, she leaned closer and whispered in his ear, Naruto eyes brightened then glanced at her, "Really?!"

She nodded in small movement, acting very adorable.

"Haha, then let's start now!" Naruto lifted her chin once and savored her lips. Jiang Wei closed her eyes and reciprocated his desire with her own fervor, they mashed their lips in a gentle manner, slowly... as if every second worth more than a gold. When it comes to your mate, kissing them didn't even required an expert technique to make it good, it just sort of happening on its own. Flutter heart and warm emotion, flushed face and thrill senses. All took in this one kiss. It only matters of times before the couple started opening their private place, and let the tongues out of their cage, danced in slow motion, giggling and chuckling until arousal beat down their body.

*Bam!*

A strong dull followed by a screeching sound awoke their trance, turning their face only to see a red Ferrari with a dent on its roof took a sudden break on the road.

"Aw, mission failed..." Naruto bitterly said as they still rushed in the air, leaving behind the sports car far away.

"Hehe, no prize for you~" Jiang Wei giggled, Naruto sighed then slanted his lips and pinch her butt, "the fault lies on you, you too hot and charming for me to concentrate!"

"That's sweet but still no prize~" She curled her lips.

"No harm in trying," he shrugged.

Back at the red Ferrari, a beautiful young woman stomped her feet in frustration as she bitterly looked at her car's roof. Her age's around 19-20 and wore a sexy outfit, exposing her womanly charm in a certain way.

"JiaoJiao let just drive away, you make other drivers angry!" another woman beside her worriedly look around.

"But I need to find someone who responsible for this!" JiaoJiao glaring eyes swept the entire area, tried to catch a single suspicious person.

"JiaoJiao maybe he or she already escape..."

JiaoJiao face flushed red, she about to explode like a volcanic mountain but gave in nevertheless. She swore if the person ever found, she skinned them alive.

Along the way, Naruto suddenly shivered like unexplainable threat looming against him but decided to ignore it in the end since he didn't feel any significance sign on it.

Several minutes later, Naruto and Jiang Wei arrived at the part of the southern side that isolated from the glamour and richness, in fact, the houses in this part looked old and rundown, some had single bulb illuminating its entrance, other completely surrounded by darkness. The street lamp on this place flickered, the light they possessed a bit dimmer than usual.

Jiang Wei stared the vicinity with sadness gripped her guts, she couldn't bear the condition befell these places, the grave situation in the side market on the western side couldn't even come close.

They stopped in front of a small building, her eyes barely recognized the area, not only because she never been here but also the lack of sources for her vision. No pitter patter of mouse creeping out in the corner or meowing of wildcat scrapping a trash bin. Only zephyr that swayed her hair, let it gently caressed her cheek.

"Come on," Naruto strolled forward while holding her hand, he guided her path in these tunnel of abyss.

The building decorated with broken glasses, green vines snaked around on its pipes and lemur tainted its wall. Several pots arranged on a shelf, with one or more pieces missing on their surfaces, pale leaves and dead flowers trapped within its dry soil.

Her heart stung in pain, seeing these lives that once blooming beautifully and groomed this place with tons of color.

They stopped at the entrance, Naruto faced her and said: "Close your eyes."

"Huh, why?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Just do it, please?"

"Ok..."

Looking her eyes both closed, Naruto smiled and strolled forward while pulling her hand. She could feel the surface underneath her feet and dull sounds thumped her ears. People usually won't be calm in the dark, they felt insecure and agitated, Jiang Wei no different, but Naruto presence, like a glowing beacon, from a Mercusuar at the end of the cliff, guiding a lost ship under the brewing thundered of the storm.

It's not the light that made her safe, it's his aura and his hand.

After a while, they finally stopped, she felt arms circled her waist from behind and a warm body pressed against her back, a hot whisper slipped inside her right ear, "open your eyes."

Jiang Wei trembled her lids before rose them gently, daze took a hold of her expression.

In front of her, a bed of grass with group of flowers swayed side to side, shone by a path of moon that breach through the ceiling, its like a bunch of children who stood in the stage and sang in tandem with a spotlight directed at them, on the ground from their surrounding, many candles trapped inside a transparent bowl made of glass with a hole in its center, letting a naughty fire moved playfully in their spots without burning the wooden plank around.

Right before the bed of grass, a table with a white blanket and two white chairs placed, a single candle, no, it's an ice... it's an ice formed like a candlestick held a fire on top of it. A bottle of wine right beside the ice candle and two triangular wine glass beside it.

Jiang Wei eyes shivered as she unable to comprehend the scenery, never in her whole life, she saw such a setting even in the most romantic movie.

"Do you like it?" Naruto whispered.

"How..." She mumbled.

"When I crossed the area several hours ago, I sensed a large sign of nature in this place, when I checked on it and saw the flowers, it made me think about you and thought why not bring you here and have a dinner?

Then I summoned many clones to prepare the setting I need, and voila...

I know that it won't compare to a high-class restaurant, after all, we have mutton skewer as food..."

Naruto bitterly laughed.

"You stupid, it doesn't matter what we eat..." Her voice sobbed as she turned around and placed her arms around his neck, "is the thought that was matter."

"So... you like it?" A curve pulled his lips one side.

"Of course!" a single tear dropped onto her cheek, "hum, you could just tell me! I dress properly for the occasion!"

"Dummy, it doesn't matter what you wear..." He raised his finger and wiped the tears, "your presence and smile, that's all I need."

Unable to contain her overflowing emotion, she tiptoed and kiss him hard, their body slowly walked toward the grass and clothes dropped on the floor, crispy moaned and rough grunted filled the void, under the blessing of the moon, two young people became one, in their body and their soul.
