The sun had set, and the cool evening breeze brushed against Naruto’s face as he hurried through the streets, laser-focused on one goal: ‘Get home. No more distractions.’ After the wild day he’d had, all he wanted was to collapse into bed.
But as fate would have it, Naruto was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t see the person right in front of him until it was too late. He bumped into her with enough force to nearly knock them both off balance.
“Hey! Watch where you’re going, idiot!” Karui’s sharp voice snapped, her fiery red hair swaying as she regained her footing.
Naruto quickly raised his hands in apology. “S-sorry, Karui! I didn’t mean to—I'm just trying to get home!”
Karui glared at him, clearly annoyed, but sighed in resignation. “Fine, just be more careful next time, you hear?”
Naruto nodded, relieved. He turned to leave, but just as he took a step away, Karui called out, “Hey, Naruto! The Halloween party’s still on for tomorrow, right?”
Naruto stopped and turned back to face her. “Yeah, it’s still on,” he confirmed. But before he could catch himself, he blurted out, “Do you have a costume?”
‘Why did I just ask that?!’ Naruto mentally chastised himself. After everything that had happened today, why was he bringing up costumes?
Karui raised an eyebrow, studying him curiously. “Yeah, I’ve got one. Pretty awesome in my opinion.” she said, smirking, Naruto nodding as he began to speak, before he was cut off with words that sent a shiver down his spine. “You wanna see it?”
Naruto panicked, his mind replaying every person he had seen that morning. “N-no, it’s fine! I bet you’ll look great in whtever you picked out!” He tried to deflect, but his attempt at an innocent compliment only made Karui blush.
Her expression shifted into something more mischievous. “Oh, really? You think I’ll look good, huh?” She crossed her arms, smirking at him. “Are you trying to flirt with me, Naruto?”
Naruto’s eyes widened. “W-wait, that’s not what I—”
But before he could finish, Karui frowned, and grabbed his arm, blushing a little, and acting determined, as if she had made up her mind about something. “Fine, since you’re so curious, I’ll let you see it first.” With that, she started dragging him towards her hotel room, with a slightly flushed face.
Naruto groaned inwardly as he found himself being pulled along again. ‘How does this keep happening to me today!?’
Once inside Karui’s hotel room, Naruto sat on the bed, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how he kept ending up in these situations. He mentally prepared himself for whatever costume she had picked out, though by now, he had a pretty good idea of what to expect.
‘Probably something revealing and sexy!’ He sighed. ‘I mean, not that I mind, all of them have been hot as hell!’ he flushed, remembering them all, both guilty for the enjoyment, and a weariness from getting so excited so many times. Sure, he had stamina, but even he wondered how much more he could take!
After a few more moments, his thoughts were interrupted, as Karui stepped out from the other room, and Naruto’s jaw nearly dropped. She was wearing a sexy pirate costume, complete with a revealing corset that accentuated her curves and a short skirt that showed off her long, ripped fishnet covered legs. A black bandana was tied around her head, under a pirates hat, and she carried a toy sword at her hip, giving her an adventurous look.
Naruto’s wide-eyed stare made Karui blush even more, her initial confidence faltering as she noticed his reaction. “So… what do you think?” she asked, her voice tinged with shyness despite her bold demeanor.
Naruto gulped, unable to stop himself from giving a thumbs up. “Y-you look amazing, Karui!”
Karui’s blush deepened, but a teasing smile spread across her lips. “You really like it, huh? Well, if you’re that into it, maybe I’ll share my ‘treasure’ with you.” She winked at him playfully before stepping closer, her eyes locked on his.
Naruto’s heart raced as Karui leaned in, her face inches from his. Before he could react, she pressed her lips to his in a firm, passionate kiss, stealing the moment, and his choice to leave. Her hands pushed him back onto the bed, and Naruto felt his back hit the mattress as Karui hovered over him, her body pressed close.
Breaking the kiss, Karui smirked down at him, her voice low and teasing. “Don’t look so surprised, Naruto. I can tell you wanted to sail this pirates waters, so get your cannon ready, matey.”
Naruto, his face burning red, could only laugh nervously. ‘Is there something in the air today?’ he wondered to himself, utterly bewildered by how his day had turned out.
