Kapitel 39: Chapter 37: Don't Purr!(1)
"What do you mean you're going away for a while?"
Letting out a sigh as he picked up a pair of socks and, sniffing then, grimaced before shrugging his shoulders and adding them to the storage scroll with the rest of his clothes, Naruto turned to his four roommates. It had bee a week since Gaara's rampage.
"There is a certain book that I need to acquirer and the owner is not keen to part with it, so I'm meeting them in person to try and...convince them."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Gaara move to stand next to his blonde friend and leaned close so as not to be heard by the others.
"Is this one of your...special, books that would require you to take drastic measures to acquire it?"
"Class 2, possible Class 1"
Eyes widening slightly, Gaara nodded in understanding.
Shortly after he had moved in Naruto had explained about the book that were kept in the Vault, things of such power that they could be extremely dangerous in both the wrong and the right hands. He had even come up with a rating system to gage the fret level of the books, ranging from 1 to 5. Class 5 was barely dangerous, with almost nothing worth mentioning but could still be a problem if not kept in check, books that weren't high up on the list, Class 4 wasn't much better. Class 3 was where it got interesting, these being the books that were dangerous, with spells that could cause a lot of problems if not contained. Class 2 were books that had been around for a long time and were able to influence people that read them, not control exactly, nor actually talking, but kind of like giving the reader the impressions that they should keep reading and use specific spells. Then last but not least was Class 1, books that could talk and control people that read them. The longer a person held them and the more they read the stronger the influence became.
If this had anything to do with a Class 2 or higher it could only mean trouble, which explained why he was going to collect it in person. If news of one of these books had reached Narutos ears, and that it was in someone's possession, it could only mean that said book had latched itself onto someone and was causing trouble.
Stepping back to stand with the other teens, who were still confused as to the importance of some old book, they watched in silence for a moment as the blonde teen continued to seal everything that he would need. Raising an eyebrow as the strange teen add a sledge hammer and a rubber chicken to his ever growing supplies, Jinx let out a sigh of her own.
"Can you at least tell us where you're going?"
Pausing for a moment with a thoughtful look on his face, and wined-up toy mouse in his hand, Naruto shrugged his shoulders before turning back to his packing.
"Some city called Golem, Gatham, something like that anyway."
"GOTHAM!"
Turning to look at the three shocked ex-villains Naruto was forced to stop himself from knocking back Gizmo when the diminutive tee jumped at him, grabbing his collar and planting his feet on the blonde's chest to keep him at the same height.
"Are you fucking NUTS, Gotham is one of the most dangerous cities there is! Two-face, Bane, Riddler, Killer-Croc, Poison-Ivy, The Joker and Harley Quinn! Why the hell would you go there just to get a book?"
Slowly bringing his hand up and flicking the toddler sized genius, sending him flying back into Mammoth with a yell, in the forehead before turning back to his packing.
"It's complicated, now while I'm gone Gaara is in charge. Jinx, keep reading you're book and practicing, and remember to meditate at least an hour a day. Mammoth keep training and if you get hungry between meals eat one of the bars I made for you, there should be enough in stock to last you until I get back. Gizmo, if I find out you blow anything up while I am gone I will make you wear baby cloths while working in the shop for a week, and don't think I can't."
After getting three nods and a shudder, Naruto picked up his scroll and put it in his pocket. He had one more stop before he left.
Appearing outside the Titan Tower in a flash of light, Naruto quickly straightened his clothes before walking up to the door and ringing the bell. he should only be gone a week, providing all thing went well, but thought it best to let his girlfriend know he was going out of town for a while. Especially when said girlfriend could probably beat him to a pulp, as girls were able to do to any man when angered, when he got back for not telling her.
He was waiting for about two minutes when the screen next to the door came on and the image of Cyborg came into view, the sound of explosions and smashing rocks in the background.
"Hey Naruto, what's up man?"
"...What the hell are you doing?"
Pausing for a moment was a small shock wave blow a cloud of dust across the screen; the mechanical teen rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Ever since your little spare with Robin he's been a little intense about training, though I agree more can't hurt he's going a little overboard. So you want me to get Raven or something.
"Yeah"
Turing away from the screen, Cyborg put a hand to his mouth before yelling at the top of his voice to be heard over the noise in the background.
"HEY RAVEN, YOU'RE BOYFRIEND IS AT THE DOOR!"
Not a second later a large piece of rock coated in a black aura smashed into the metal teen , sending him flying away from the screen before it was filled by the image of his girlfriend, her hood drawn up in an attempt to hide the blush on her face.
"I'll unlock the door and meet you in my room in a few minutes, ok?"
"Sure Raven-chan"
Quickly making his way through the Tower, Naruto soon found himself in Ravens room. It was the same as the first time he had seen it, dark walls, with the curtains drawn, odd objects all over the place, the only real difference was the picture at the side of her bed. Walking over and picking it up, a small smile crossed his lips as he thought back to when and where it was taken.
It was a picture of himself sat on a bench in the park, grey sleeveless shirt and tracksuit pants with his customary bucket hat in place, with birds at his feet as he throw them bits of bread with a large smile on his face as he looked to the person taking the picture. It had been taken the week before, on his date with Raven after Gaara's rampage, and despite what had happened before the date he had enjoyed it.
Putting the picture back on the table, he caught sight of something that had been behind it on the table and without thinking reached to pick it up, only to let out small gasp as he felt a small electric shock run up his arm and into his head from where his figures had touched it. Pulling away, unsure what had just happened as a small headache started to form in the back of his head, Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by the arrival of Raven, the sound of the door alerting him to her presence.
Before he could even say a word she walked passed him and sat on the bed, letting out a tired sigh, before turning her eyes on the whiskered blonde.
"Robin asked me to invite you to our training session, so whatever you need to talk about, feel free to take your time."
Chuckling, Naruto sat down on the bed next to the purple haired teen, putting an arm around her shoulders and pulling her onto a one armed hug.
"Is traffic-light-san's training that bad?"
Levelling a half hearted glare at her boyfriend, the dark Titan pocked him in the chest to emphasise her point.
"He's turned into even more of a slave driver then usual, you have no idea."
"At one point in my training my sensei threw me off the edge of a cliff, believe me when I say your training at the moment is nothing compared to the hell I was forced to go through."
Pausing for a moment to look at his face, checking if he was joking or not, and when she saw the serious face he wore got a shiver down her spin. Before shrugging it off for the time being,
"This is still you're fault, because of the way you beat him Robin is training almost non stop, with the exception of missions of course. That means you should be down in the training area with the rest of us, or you could just join the team."
"We've been over this Raven-chan; I'm not interested in joining the Titans or being a hero."
The grey skinned teen let out a sigh, nothing wrong with trying after all, especially seeing as she was the only one that could ask him without making him angry Raven shrugged.
"Not yet, but I will wear you down eventually, but until then you still don't get off with the training thing, you're coming back down with me even if I have to drag you there with my magic."
Smiling good naturedly at the girl, Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Actually I can't, I came to let you know I'd be out of town for a few days on business. It shouldn't take long, a week, two at the most."
Frowning slightly at the last minutes notice, Raven turned to look at her boyfriend.
"What business?"
"Just a book that caught my attention"
"The sought of book that you put on display or the sought that you lock up?"
"Locked with chains around it this time, sorry I can't really say more."
"You know for a guy that says he doesn't want to be a hero, you spend a lot of time finding and hiding these books."
Falling silent for a moment while he tried to think of a retort, Naruto just shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm not going to dignify that with a response."
