Naruto stirs in his bed of leaves as his hoof catches something above him. Naruto slowly opens his eyes to see Luna over him, or more correctly on top of him. “Morning.” Naruto looks at her with wide eyes hoping what he’s thinking didn’t happen. “Don’t worry nothing happened I would know trust me. How did you sleep?” Luna asked getting up allowing Naruto to as well. Her voice was a little different in the fact it was more cheerful than usual.
“I slept great Luna, but why do you sound so cheerful today what’s up?” Naruto asked smiling as he watched Luna slide over to him, placing her wing over his back.
“Nothing.” She said gleefully as she jumped down the stairs. I’m going to say this right now, I am a little frightened by that image of Luna jumping up and down like Pinkie Pie. Naruto shook his head thinking from yesterday and knowing exactly why Luna was acting this way. He began to question why he ever kissed her back but he always came to the same answer, it felt right.
He got down the stairs to hear Luna humming away in the kitchen. The sound was more angelic than he remembered it to be. He was a little enthralled by it as well as he began to do a small dance behind her. He did it softly because anypony would have laughed if they saw him dance the way he did.
Luna turned around to see Naruto doing his little dance and giggled under her breath. “Um, Naruto, having fun over there?” Luna asked stopping Naruto’s dance. He looked away as his cheeks were a bright red. “Sorry, I didn’t think you were one to dance is all.”
“Thanks for that, I’ll remember it when you want a dance with me.” Naruto said looking at the mare he kissed so much yesterday. He wanted so badly to get lost in her lips again but he didn’t want to obsess over it. He needed to play it cool. Good luck with that Naruto.
“You would dance with me even if that was the case Naruto.” Luna said smiling at her stallion. She wanted to be in his arms right now but she didn’t want to rush things. Well at least they think alike. “Naruto what you did yesterday…” Naruto looked up at the mare he cared so much for. The feelings he had yesterday couldn’t be denied but he didn’t want to be in love with her, because he could still hurt her and he didn’t want that. “Do you love me, really do you?”
“I think I do Luna,” Naruto said putting his hoof on her cheek, “I did a lot of thinking last night and came to the conclusion several times that I have to be in love with you with what my mind was giving me last night. I wanted to hold you in my arms so close that you and I would never be apart. I finally realize that I do love you!”
Naruto wrapped Luna in his arms as a tear fell from his cheek. How he found that out in that short amount of time is nothing more than a miracle. He wanted to be with Luna forever but what would happen if she thought he was cheating on her. He didn’t want her to feel that way, but what could he do? It’s not like he could marry her right now.
“Naruto um…do you think we could possibly ah…” Luna was hesitant to ask him for a kiss because she didn’t want to be greedy. Naruto read right through her hesitation and placed his lips across hers. They wrapped each other within their hooves as the touch of their lips on one another sent them into their own fantasies. I’m not going to say what those fantasies are for peace of mind, so yeah use your imagination if you want to know what their fantasy is.
They pulled apart from each other not letting the other go. “Is that what you were asking Luna?” Naruto asked rubbing his nose against hers. Okay did they get hit with the love poison potion or are they just that much in love with each other? I know I’m the one writing this but seriously c’mon!
“It’s exactly what I wanted.” Luna said as her face grew red yet again. She’s easy to blush isn’t she? “Naruto what would you say to being my coltfriend?”
Although Naruto was new to love he didn’t want to ignore what his heart was telling him anymore. “I wouldn’t mind that at all, and yesterday I was so unsure of my feelings and yet now I’m absolutely certain.” Naruto ran his hoof through Luna’s hair watching as it sparkled like the stars in the sunlight. “Why don’t we go out today?” Naruto asked picking himself up along with Luna.
“Sure I don’t have anything planned what about you?” Luna retorted somewhat mockingly in my opinion. Luna nudged Naruto to the side as she walked out of the little house meant for just them and maybe one more but they didn’t need anypony ruining their relationship that had now taken full bloom. “So where are we going today?”
“I thought we could just go walk around the town for as little bit and then maybe grab something to eat together, you know like a couples do.” Naruto blushed still not believing how quickly he had turned to his hearts feelings. He looked to Luna and saw her blushing just as hard as he was. “What do you think? Is it too soon for a first date?”
“No I just wasn’t expecting you to ask me on a date so early.” Luna said smiling at the stallion she wanted to be with forever and ever. A little cheesy in my opinion but that’s how she was feeling.
“Sorry I just wanted to be with you that’s all. This whole love thing is still rather new to me.” Naruto said scratching the back of his head with his hoof. Naruto walked up next to Luna and they went into Ponyville together.
The minute they walked in there together everypony looked at the princess with the demonic pony. Word from what happened at the festival spread fast and everypony didn’t want to be on Naruto’s bad side but they knew he didn’t hurt anypony that was good so they didn’t avoid him. But they also didn’t want too close to him either, it was very confusing, even for me and I’m the damn writer.
Luna could see the distress from Naruto as plainly as his cutie mark was red. “It’s okay Naruto I’m right here.” Naruto looked to Luna whose eyes were that of sapphires. He couldn’t look away but he couldn’t look at them. He still remembered how easily he could have killed Luna but he just kept saying that he would never do that no matter what. “You can tell me anything you know that right Naruto?”
“Of course I do. I’m just a little hung up on the festival is all.” Naruto was a little embarrassed that he was still thinking about that and how easily it slipped from his mouth. “I know that I shouldn’t worry about it but I just can’t help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t stopped?”
“Nothing would have happened Naruto.” Luna was worried that her stallion might get stuck on the negatives and be depressed forever. “Listen to me, as long as we are together nothing will happen to you okay? If you ever feel that kind of anger or even pain be it large or small tell me. I’ll do my best to help you even if that may cost my life.”
“But I don’t want it to come to that Luna don’t you get it? I don’t want you to have to die for me, you need to live your life the way you want to and not have to worry about somepony like me. I’m a demon for crying out loud. How can you really care about some demon, one that could end up hurting you in the end?” Naruto asked looking down tears rolling down his cheeks. He couldn’t believe how emotional he was getting but he felt that Luna was just playing him right now. He wasn’t really sure if Luna did love him now. He was a demon and even after yesterday she could still hate him.
Luna pushed closer to Naruto making him put his hooves around her neck. Luna then placed her hooves on his chest as they felt each-others’ beating hearts. Luna put her nose against Naruto’s. He gave a light gasp of surprise from this. “I don’t care if you’re a demon or the most evil being in the world as long as I’m with you in your arms, I will always love you. Even if that means becoming my evil self again. I’d do it if it meant helping you. I will always love you Naruto.” Luna had tears running down her cheeks and Naruto proceeded to wipe them away with his hooves. He then pulled her close embracing this moment for it was worth.
All around them ponies were whistling at the display of affection that the two love ponies had for each other. Twilight just happened to be walking by with Spike when Naruto and Luna had embraced each other. Twilight smiled while Spike held his mouth from spewing out the jewels he had eaten earlier that morning. “Um guys are you going to finish your little romantics, not everyone here wants to see that.” Spike said feeling a greater sense of nausea come.
Naruto blushed jumping a little to the left as Luna just smiled getting back to his side. “You two looked like a newly-wed couple just now.” Twilight said giving thoughts to Luna that were not necessary right now.
“You really think we look like a married couple?” Luna asked blushing with emotion as she held her cheek with a hoof. Naruto had a feeling he knew where this was going and sighed. Luna looked at Naruto then with mischievous eyes. Celestia help him, just don’t hurt Luna doing it.
“Yeah if you two had a small colt or filly you’d be like a full family. Speaking of which…” Twilight pointed to a group of young, younger than the Cutie Mark Crusaders, colts and fillies walking with two older mares. “Why not adopt a baby and see how you do?”
“What?” Naruto said trying to understand that Twilight was pushing their relationship a little too fast. “Why would we want to have a colt or filly now? We just started our relationship literally ten, twenty minutes ago. I don’t want to have anything in the way of having to take care of Luna right now. Besides I would need a job before I could even think of having or adopting a colt or filly.” Guess all the love made him forget the job he already has. (Mrs. Flash’s bakery if you were wondering).
“He’s got a point there Twilight.” Spike said thinking clearly on the subject. Naruto felt good that someone, even though it was a dragon was on his side. “Let him decide whether or not if he wants to be a dad or not.”
“I wasn’t telling him to go right away and get a colt or filly but it would make you two or three if you did happen to get a baby look like a complete family.” Twilight wasn’t wrong and Naruto knew that, but he didn’t think he was ready for such a commitment. He still wasn’t sure if he could safely date the mare he loved.
Behind them the four jealous mares, hid behind a house. Celestia used a spell to disguise herself as an average pony, white with the same hair color only no wings or horn. Remedy was pulling on her tail with her mouth trying hard not to blast Luna into oblivion. Applejack was just pacing back and forth while Pinkie Pie was trying to get a hold of what was just said by her friend Twilight.
“Really it’s like no matter what we try to do those two get closer and closer and it makes me sick to my stomach that my chosen one is in the hooves of some dark mare.” Remedy was really jealous right now and really wanted to kill Luna. The only thing stopping her was Naruto really. She didn’t want him to hate her.
“Remedy we haven’t done much you know that right?” Applejack said knocking her in the head.
“Well yeah but we should be doing everything in our power to keep those two apart. We shouldn’t be spying on them.” Remedy left from behind the house but Pinkie jumped on top of her. “Could you please get off me Pinkie Pie?”
“Sorry but if you go in there you’ll get in my-our way of getting Naruto to one of us.” Pinkie said dragging the princess back behind the home. “We need to do this strategically or we won’t ever get Naruto.”
“Pinkie you’re starting to scare me right now.” Applejack said holding one of her hooves on Pinkie’s shoulder. “But you are right, we have to make sure that Naruto chooses one of us over Luna. Luna is our biggest obstacle and we have to get past that mare before we even think of getting Naruto.”
“Agreed, without my sister gone, Naruto will undoubtedly pick her to marry.” The three other mares looked at her with wide eyes. “I have done a little research and have found that couples such as Naruto and Luna are extremely likely to turn into more than just a marefriend and coltfriend relationship. I know for a fact that they will marry if we do nothing.”
“Hmm, princess you can summon beasts right?” Remedy asked looking mischievous at that moment. Celestia nodded her head with a little confusion but also some understanding. “Why don’t we create a little situation where he saves one of us and get him away from Luna that way?”
“That could work but it could also work in reverse.” Celestia said as she pondered on it further. “We need to be sure that there isn’t any other way. I will bring forth a strong beast if nopony else has a better solution.”
“Well I ain’t got anything in my head right now but who would we pick to be chased by this beast Remedy?” Applejack asked thinking that there was more to Remedy’s plan than she was letting on. “So are you going to be the one that Naruto saves or is it going to be all of us.”
“All of us of course. I need it to be as dangerous as you can possibly make it though Celestia. Something that not even you can stop.” Remedy was getting a little mad with her idea.
“There is a dragon I know of but whether or not he’ll go along with it is another story.” Celestia said thinking of Discord who no pony else but the six elements of harmony could defeat.
“No not Discord, Naruto would crush him in no time.” Remedy said remembering how Easily Naruto had crushed the apes that day at the festival. “No we need something that would cause Naruto to break the same way but for us and not Luna.”
“I will try my best but remember that when this thing is summoned only Naruto will be able to beat it. I will have drained all my energy summoning the beast. We need to go outside of Ponyville so that we are not seen. This is going to be seen here if I do it now.” Celestia said dropping her disguise and taking to the skies quickly so that no pony saw her.
The other three mares followed the shadow in the air until it came down onto the earth of the ground in a wide open meadow. Celestia had already begun the summoning of the beast. The other three looked as it came up from the ground. One, two, three heads sprouted from the summoning circle that lay in front of them, followed by two very large wings. Next came a large claw followed by another claw followed by the two hind legs and claws. It was a large three headed dragon, or really a hydra with wings, that looked at the four mares with its three pairs of eyes.
“Now mister dragon I wish to ask a favor.” The princess took to the skies getting in front of the dragon’s middle head. “I need you to chase us and try to kill us if that’s alright.”
“It will be my honor princess but I must ask why?” The three heads said in unison. The three other mares looked at the beast and were shocked to see that it spoke.
“Well we need to get a stallion away from my sister and we thought that you’d be the perfect one for the job. You wouldn’t mind now would you?” Celestia said winking at the beast.
“Of course not but I will not really try to hurt you but I will make it very convincing just don’t expect there not to be any bruising alright.” The princess flew down to her companions in crime, love crime not real crime. “If you are all aware of this I will give you a three second head start.”
His eyes constricted and he looked at them with hunger and a desire to feed. The mares saw this and immediately ran the other way. The hydra smiled with all three heads knowing this was going to be fun. He started to chase after them after five seconds had passed, he isn’t that good with math. The mares were running at full speed trying to get away from the beast even though he wasn’t trying to kill them. However he said he would make it very convincing if you remember.
The hydra spewed fire from two mouths almost hitting Applejack’s tail along with Pinkie’s. “HEY!” They both shouted jumping forward a little as the stomping of the beast got closer and closer. “Um…Celestia isn’t he not supposed to hit us?” Applejack asked feeling this was getting to close as a claw went right over her head almost taking her hat off.
“He said that he was going to make it convincing I didn’t think he meant this!” Celestia said as she was unable to unfurl her wings to get to the beast’s ears. “We have to get to Ponyville quickly!”
They had just gotten over a hill when the monster’s cry got to the town of Ponyville. Naruto’s ears shot up as he heard what sounded like screaming come from the same sound. Naruto dashed away getting himself away from the girls and babies from the orphanage. His anger was rising as he recognized the screams to be that of his friends. He got to the edge of Ponyville to see them being chased by a large three headed hydra. How he knew what that was is astounding and I’m writing this folks. He charged forward as his red swirl was replaced with the demon seal. His coat turned blonde like his mane and he jumped in front of the beast allowing the girls to get back to the town.
“I don’t have a clue what’s going on but I’ll die before I let you touch my friends!” Naruto jumped at the beast leaving a crater in the ground as his hoof connected with the beast left head. The head looked like a rubber elastic as it bounced to and fro after being hit.
“Well that actually hurt my dear friend, but alas we have a job to do and we need to get back to it so excuse us.” The hydra turned away from Naruto and headed for the four mares who then proceeded to retreat even further.
“Damn it!” Naruto shouted chasing after the beast trying to get in front of it.
Luna had just gotten to the edge of the town when she saw the hydra approaching the town. Luna ran to her sister as they couldn’t run anymore. “What happened, why are you so exhausted?” Luna asked readying herself for combat.
“Well you’ll probably hate us for this sister but we did this trying to get Naruto away from you but I think we might have gone a little overboard.” Celestia said looking at her sister.
Luna’s body tensed as her energy increased greatly almost to Nightmare’s levels. “Why, do you three want Naruto that much, especially you sister? He’s mine and no other mares got it.” Luna said taking to the skies blowing wind at her sister and her companions. “That’s enough of this!” Luna said firing at the beast with her magic but it hit air as it faded away, or flew off in another direction. Luna was beside herself that nothing was working.
Naruto, down below looked up to see his marefriend trying to fight the hydra with magic. Naruto knew that magic didn’t affect hydras. Their skin and scales had magic in them that dispelled magic attacks. Only physical attacks could harm this thing. “Luna get out of there!” Naruto cried unable to shout above the cry of the hydra as it stood on its hind legs reaching out for Luna. Luna flew down away from its claws but it wasn’t too long before the hydra had her in its clutches. “LUNA!” Naruto jumped at the hydra’s arm trying to get at its joint but he was intercepted by the beast’s other claw sending him into five different set of homes crushing them. He lay there almost lifeless as he heard Luna cry out his name.
“Sorry dear princess but I was sent her on a job to get a certain stallion away from you. Can’t have anypony in my way now can I?” His smile was malicious as his feet smashed into a home almost killing the residence. He continued to do this destroying home after home as he searched for this stallion that Celestia wanted to be with.
“Let me go this instant!” Luna shouted wanting to make sure Naruto was still alive. “Why would you do this to the town? You have nothing to gain from it!”
“I told you it’s my job to keep you away from a stallion so that my employer can get to him before you.” Luna’s eyes widened when one of the heads licked its lips. “In fact we did say that we were going to make it convincing.”
“NARUTO!” Luna shouted stirring the almost lifeless corpse. Naruto looked up and watched in horror as the beast snapped its jaws on Luna swallowing her whole.
“LUNA!” He heard Celestia cry out. She fell to the ground after that having used up most of her energy.
Naruto’s anger was at its breaking point as a fire like aura began to encompass him. He could feel his powers coming on, but he didn’t hold them back this time, no he let them come and he was aware of everything that was happening. He himself was controlling his powers as they coursed throughout his body. He roared to the skies getting the attention of both the mares and the hydra. His energy shot up like a geyser the longer he roared out. The energy began to die down, but Naruto didn’t give it anytime to do anything else as he shot right at the beast’s gut slamming into it. The beast was sent into the air regurgitating Luna out of its stomach.
Naruto shot from his position in the air grabbing Luna and landing on his hind legs as three fox tails shot up from his demonic aura. Somehow he was controlling everything he was doing. He didn’t know what but he didn’t care at the moment as he slowly placed Luna on the floor. He looked to his right and saw a katana sword laying there. He grabbed it with his hoof as his aura became a claw around his hoof allowing him to hold the blade. He unsheathed it watching the steel come forth and he pointed it right at the hydra which just roared back at him.
Luna’s eyes opened slowly and she saw her stallion in the same aura as he was when he lost control she flew toward him wrapping her arms around him. “Naruto don’t, you’ll lose control again!”
“Sorry Luna but I have to do this.” Luna was shocked when she heard his voice. “I am in control of this power right now and I plan on using it to stop this thing right now.” His aura tails lashed out as the hydra fired spikes from its two claws at him. The small baby orphanage watched as the orange stallion kept the beasts attack at bay.
“Celestia wake up, you need to do something. He’s about to protect Luna!” Remedy shouted trying to wake the princess. “Dang it she’s not waking up!”
“Who cares, we need to stop Naruto before he loses it in the town!” Pinkie cried sounding a little sensible. Dang, a lot of weird things are happening today, did somepony do something to the writer?
Luna released her stallion as he walked forward, the katana in his hoof being held by the power he had. “Well this is going to be interesting young stallion.” The hydra said unfurling its wings and taking to the skies. Naruto jumped into the air his tails lashing out at the air. “Interesting.” The hydra said as he sent a claw Naruto’s way.
Naruto roared out as he brought the katana in front of him deflecting the attack. The hydra again went with its claws and tried to slash but Naruto deflected that attack as well. The hydra may have been stronger than Celestia but it wasn’t stronger than Naruto at that point. Naruto was at least twice as strong as the monster. They continued parrying strikes, the katana becoming more infused with Naruto’s demonic powers. Suddenly the hilt changed growing a fox’s mouth around the top of the hilt and the blade had become as red or orange as the energy flowing around Naruto.
Naruto looked at this blade and smiled, now it was his and no pony else’s. He sliced down at another attempt at his throat to get on the beast’s arm. Naruto ran up the arm running the blade through its scales and skin. Fire followed in Naruto’s wake as he sliced off one head and fell to the earth. He landed jumped back up as the other two came out from where the other had been cut. Naruto was just getting angrier only increasing the amount of power that he had. The hydra spewed flames hitting Naruto but he was unstoppable by that point as he just kept coming through the flames and quickly appeared in front of the two middle heads. He didn’t slice them off but he definitely sliced them up. He didn’t let the heads come off because he knew they would just regenerate back. He did this incredible slashing movement not seen in Equestria that it was almost too impossible for anypony watching to believe.
Naruto finished his slashing and shot up as the eight eyes of the hydra now looked up as Naruto put all his energy even though it was still around him into the blade and headed straight down. He sliced right through the thing causing it to explode with the amount of power that was used. Don’t worry the hydra wasn’t killed just sent back to its plain of existence. Thank goodness for that or I would have to increase the rating to T.
Naruto landed on the ground as all the power that was in him faded but the power in his right hoof didn’t leave as the sword remained attached to it. He tried to get it off of him but it wasn’t coming off. Naruto thought of the power in his right hoof leaving and it did just like that. The sword dropped to the floor. Naruto then did the opposite and the blade shot back up into his hoof. Now Naruto had a special magic with this sword. He dropped the sword and galloped over to its sheath grabbing it with his mouth and heading over to the blade. He put power into both his hooves allowing him to hold both the sheath and the sword as he sheathed the blade. The scabbard for the blade changed at that point getting the demon seal that was on Naruto’s flank splashed all over it.
Naruto watched as a sash was created from the blade’s scabbard as it wrapped itself around him then squeezing so that it fit perfectly around his chest and back. It tied itself to his chest and then settled. Naruto has acquired the blade of the demon fox! Sorry felt like I should put that in there for funnies.
“Naruto!” Naruto turned to get slammed by Luna. They rolled on the ground and ended up in each-others’ arms when they stopped. “I thought you were going to lose it there for a minute. You really had me scared.” Luna said putting her face in his chest.
“You shouldn’t worry so much Luna, but I’m a little confused as to why I had control of my powers now when I know I felt even stronger than that time at the festival.” Naruto said picking himself and Luna up. His powers were still there but almost gone. He could feel them leaving as his anger began to calm down. “Luna maybe we should go home now.”
“First thing’s first though, SISTER!” Naruto backed away never really seeing Luna angry before. “Now explain to me why you summoned the Great Hydra!”
“Well you see, Remedy thought that Naruto would come to one of us if he saved us. She came up with the idea of bringing forth something stronger than me so I chose our friend. I didn’t however expect him to eat you. That wasn’t part of the plan. The whole plan was to get Naruto and you to separate.” Celestia said only confusing Naruto.
“What she means Naruto is that Luna ain’t the only one with feelings for ya.” Naruto’s eyes widened as the four mares in front of him smiled, Remedy looked away feeling a little embarrassed. He had no idea that more mares could possibly have feelings for him but his heart belonged to Luna that much he was sure. Today’s burst of power allowed him to realize the true feelings he had. He knew if he lost it he could have killed Luna instead of saving her only it felt different this time. It was almost like he had nothing to lose by using his powers.
“Well this is a little awkward now isn’t it?” Pinkie said bouncing up and down. “You can’t blame us though, I mean how many stallions do you know who can do what you can do.”
“It doesn’t matter!” Naruto shouted feeling angry and rage filled, “Luna could have been seriously hurt and you’re all okay with that, I’m not. I love Luna with all my heart that I am now truly certain of. So I guess I have to say thank you to that. But never again try to think that doing such a thing will get me to like you. I already do, so what are you trying to do that for?”
“We want you to be in love with us you idiot!” Remedy said as she started walking away. “Why else would we do something so stupid?”
“Well that’s all I needed to hear.” Luna said as she turned to leave. “But there’s something that must come first the town.” Everypony there looked around and saw the mess that had been created. Celestia was the most horrified because she had been the one to summon the beast. “We’re going to need to get to work as quickly as possible sister.”
“Agreed, I will get our best ponies on this. I also don’t think I’ll be in Ponyville for a while.” Celestia said as she took to the skies.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be alright but that’s going to be the last time she does anything like that.” Luna said stomping the ground making Naruto sigh. “Naruto I’m really sorry that this happened. It is somewhat my fault.”
“Luna none of this is your fault, again I don’t know how you get these ideas in your head but you really need to stop with it.” Naruto said embracing his mare. He held her close as her hooves were quickly wrapped around him.
“Yeah, just because you love each other doesn’t mean that we’re going to just stop trying to win you over, Naruto. You are still my chosen one Naruto.” Remedy said walking away from the area leaving her two companions behind.
“Well I definitely won’t be trying to get in the way of you guys anymore!” Pinkie said smiling, “Believe it or not I Pinkie Promise not to get in either of your ways of being together.” Naruto smiled at Pinkie knowing she was telling him the truth. “I wish you both the best of luck.”
“Same here Naruto. I don’t want you to hate me or anything. I’ll be happy knowing that you’re happy. Don’t worry about Remedy though she probably won’t try anything either but none of us knows what goes on in that head of hers.” Applejack said as she and Pinkie left the area.
Once they were out of sight Luna rushed Naruto again. She put her cheek against his and they rubbed up against each other. “I need to know were you thinking of them when they were in danger?” Luna asked looking down.
“Truth is I wasn’t really worried about them. All I could think about was you Luna and no pony else. Every other pony was just an afterthought. I didn’t care if any pony else got hurt. They could have died for all I cared.” Naruto looked away from Luna feeling disgusted with himself for not having any real care for other ponies. “But I wasn’t going to let you get hurt. At first it was about helping the other girls but once they got past you all my thoughts were of you.”
“Naruto it’s alright, but why aren’t you looking at me?” Luna asked trying to get her stallion to look at her. She tried putting her face in front of his but he just moved away and continued to look away. He felt more like a monster, because he was ready to destroy the town to rescue Luna from that hydra. “Naruto please tell me what’s wrong, I want to help you.”
“Are you sure you want to know?” Naruto asked feeling his powers coming up to him again. Luna put her hoof against his cheek nodding her head. “I was ready to kill everything just like last time only I was in control of myself this time. Even if it was a lucky break, I can’t deny the thoughts that were in my head. I wanted everything gone, the town, the ponies living here, your sister, Remedy, I wanted everything to just die and give you back to me. I was ready to slay small children if it meant getting you back. I’m nothing more than a monster, a greater demon.”
Luna slapped Naruto at that comment. Naruto looked at the mare he loved to see her crying with anger in her eyes. She grabbed his face and brought it close covering his lips with hers. The kiss was short but was filled with love from the blue mare. “Stop calling yourself a monster Naruto. You were just angry, and I know how you get now when you’re angry especially if it involves me. You shouldn’t be so afraid that I may leave you. I would never leave you no matter what had a hold over me. Even if I did become Nightmare Moon again I would still love you. Even that part of me loves you and I’m really happy that it does.”
“Luna it’s not that weren’t you listening I was ready to smash in that group of orphans if it meant rescuing you, how can you possibly still say that you’d stay with me after that?” Naruto had tears running down his face as he looked at the mare he loved with pain in his heart.
“Because I know that you wouldn’t have done it. Even if you were mad with power you have a heart of gold Naruto. Nothing could make you a merciless killer like Shadow. You’re my heart’s desire and I know for a fact there’s not an ounce in you that’s evil.” Luna put her cheek against his and rubbed it against it only driving Naruto into embracing her in his hooves. “That’s my Naruto.”
“Luna thank you so much for still believing in me but are you sure, what if I actually do what I just say? Would you still love me?” Naruto asked holding her close.
“Of course.” Luna responded holding him tighter, “I would follow you into the deepest darkness if it meant being with you forever. That’s all I want Naruto, to be with you. It’s all I ever dream and think about nowadays.”
Naruto held her tighter, even though the force he was using could have broken her back he wanted to know that this wasn’t a dream that this was the real Luna in his arms. “Thank you Luna it’s the same with me in some ways but I’m just happy that you’d go with me into darkness if it meant being together because that’s what I would do. Either that or I would kill myself if it meant being apart from you. I wouldn’t be able to live with these powers or images that keep coming into my head without you.”
“I’ll never leave you Naruto no matter how much other mares try to get in my way I will never let you go. Not even the grip of death could stop me from wanting to be with you.” Luna held him just as tightly and before they knew it the two of them were finding it harder to breathe. They loosened their grips and began to laugh to one another.
“Excuse me but are you the one with the strange powers?” Naruto turned his head to see one of the mares with the orphans standing before him. Naruto nodded his head with slight hesitation. “Well the little ones want to tell you something.”
“Thank you mister!” All the small kids said as one. They were all smiling except for one that caught Naruto’s attention. The young filly unicorn was white like Rarity, but had blue hair that looked like cotton candy. She wasn’t smiling or even looking at him and that seemed to catch his eye. Why he didn’t know but he felt that the filly was hurting inside just by the look in her eyes.
“You’re very welcome kids. I hope I don’t have to do what I did any time soon but I’d do it if it meant saving the town and the mare I love.” Naruto said standing up. “Speaking of which, we need to get home Luna. Shall we go then?”
“Yeah let’s go home and just relax from this hectic day.” Luna agreed with her stallion as they both walked away back to their home together Luna’s wing draped over her stallion. Their hearts and mind were filled with nothing but thoughts of the other as was the normal occurrence for them. Celestia stay away from them; that also means you Remedy!
