King Of Fighter

Naruto felt his night go sour at the intrusion of person that by all means he should get along with but for personal reasons such as the fact that he kind of had started feeling for king made the meeting not a positive touch in his daily life.

"Sorry I just need a moment alone" Naruto muttered as he walked out of bar after seeing King happily embrace a man named Ryo. The man was martial arts fighter and someone very close to king, as in her lover.

'I am really cursed to fall in love with girls that will be taken or are taken.' Naruto sighed as he looked at the night scenery

"Want a smoke?"

Naruto didn't turn around as he knew it was the friend of Ryo and King called Robert.

"No but thanks for the gesture" Naruto replied in a neutral tone as he held back his negativity

"Don't take it to heart; things like this always happen until you find your partner. Even then it isn't really permanent, people change. Who knows, King might like you if you wait long enough." Robert said as he took inhaled some good stuff

Naruto looked at him with raised eye lid asking if he was really serious.

"I don't want such a thing to happen. I hope that she will be happy so don't just spout negative stuff here."

"Then wanna drink your worries away for the night. We might as well pop one cherry." Robert chuckled as he suggested some night fun

Naruto was about to reply when he felt Eliza's gaze on him, "Thanks for your time but I need to go."

---------------------------

"What were you doing? Why are you giving off such a negative aura?

Don't you know it makes blood taste awful?" Eliza started to berate him as he landed

Naruto was surprised at her outbreak but it distracted him from his heart break.

"Sorry"

"I don't want that pathetic excuse of an apology. Just make a covenant that you shall not fall down because of such mundane things. And don't you have me." Eliza declared loudly except the last part

"What did you say?" Naruto stared at her

"I said what I said, don't make me repeat myself." Eliza hmphed as she turned around but Naruto could see her beautiful smile

Her words made him forget the awful stuff completely for a moment as he was lost in the wonder of being confessed to by a beauty with power and personality. Hinata was the first but that was dead end now until he got back so he had already given up on any romance on that side.

"Yes, I won't disappoint." Naruto replied, he didn't love her but he did feel positively about Eliza while he still had no idea why she liked him

'Maybe my blood can seduce vampires'

---------------------------------

"Hey girl, sorry to crash your joint but I need your help."

King rolled her eyes at the unexpected guest and signaled Ryo to sit down.

"What do you want, Poison?"

"I need protection; someone just killed all my goons." Poison muttered with frustrated tone as she took a seat and grabbed Ryo's drink

"And?"

"I am sorry so I beg you let me stay. I am afraid of dying." Poison said shamelessly without a speck of honor

"Deal, you are the best girl and is this hunk your guy." Poison muttered with a smile as her enticing gaze lay b.a.r.e on Ryo's body giving him the chills

"Sorry not my type" Ryo said as he stood up and sat further away, putting Robert between them

"Hehe, really that's a fourth. So where's Blondie?" Poison chuckled at his reaction and asked curiously

"Ahem, just clearing his outside." King coughed and replied as she thought about the look that Naruto gave before leaving

'This never happened before. This thing between friends is always a bitch to handle.' King hoped that Naruto hadn't run away while holding such negative emotions

---------------------------------------

Naruto sat down meditating and absorbing the day's gains, he had once again observed and fought some skilled fighters with unique skills and styles.

'I need to better control my chakra to emit smaller amounts to enjoy the fights. I can't just fight without chakra enhancement or I might get killed. I need to learn to do more.' Naruto thought as he didn't have much backup and taking such risk was not his style

It was lucky that he had decided to move to a forest area as the wind picked up around him. Small twisters moved around him, carving the ground up like a knife through butter. Even the trees were about to be trashed but Naruto controlled the power enough that it stayed away from the plants.

'I need capture, defense, support, different attack skills. I can never leave a weakness alone.' Naruto thought as he mused about his skills and found them lacking

His goal to find the space time power was almost impossible but Naruto wasn't about to give and he knew it will require more power than he possessed at the moment.

'The target can never be easy. Someone that can control space might be able to one shot me.'

"You can come out" Naruto muttered as he opened his eyes and the wind stopped, the silence was oppressive as if a storm was about to erupt

The man walked out with a smile, hiding his fear and spoke in friendly manner, "Good evening Mr. Uzumaki, I am here to give you an invitation to a tournament In Bangkok. This shall provide you with enough points to get you in the KOF."

Naruto was about to dismiss him but the last part got him, "Who is attending?"

The man smiled, "Sagat and it is said that Ryu will be attending."

Naruto's eyes were on fire of fighting intent, "Tell your master that I have received his gift."

Naruto muttered as he accepted the envelope with the tiger insignia.
