Chapter 1: Help Me! I'm Being Kidnapped!

"Woah! This is the capital?" one boy said in wonder, his eyes feasting on the sights of the city. It was obvious it was his first time in the capital; any person wearing a clothing style similar to the boy in question would easily be defined as a "country bumpkin" of some kind. The location didn't matter. The point was that he wasn't from around here, and that made all the difference. At least, to a certain girl sitting nearby drinking her coffee calmly, and yet wary of her surroundings, it mattered.

She listened silently as he spoke to himself about his outlandish dream of saving his village, and she took another sip from her cup of coffee as she watched him trying to enlist in the army. When he was forcibly thrown out of the registration building, she took that as her cue and stood up.

Placing a kind, innocent smile on her face, she began her act.

"Hey," she called out. When the boy turned around, she continued to walk closer until she was right above him. This was a move on his psyche; she knew he would be looking at her breasts. Men these days seemed to have a one track mind. The worse the capital became, the more horny men became. The days of gentlemen were gone; their numbers were so sparse, they may as well have been extinct.
And just like she had expected, he was blushing as he stared up at her from his position on the ground. Well, even she was proud of her large breasts.

When he stood up, she took on a playful, yet wiser position as she spoke from what she gathered from her scrutiny.

"You look like a boy from the country searching for adventure. Well...if you want to join the army and be in a higher position..."
In the end, she convinced him to buy her a meal...and she scammed him for all of his money as well.

"I can't believe this. I don't even have enough money to go to a hotel because that "Onee-chan" took all of it," Tatsumi complained to himself as he sat against a building, planning on sleeping against it for the night. It wasn't too cold, so it wouldn't be too much of an issue to sleep without any extra layers. The only problem would be if the capital didn't like people sleeping on the streets.

"Hey, can I join you?" Tatsumi looked to his left and found a blond teenager looking at him. Three features immediately struck Tatsumi. The teen had spiky blond, platinum colored hair, deep, blue eyes, and what seemed like a triplet of whiskers on each cheek. After that came the rest of his features. For example, the clothing the blond teen looked like clothing available only at the capital; Tatsumi may not have been in the capital for very long, but he can make discernments quite easily.

The blond was wearing a white jacket with a black hood, with a blue T-shirt underneath that seemed to be made out of silk. As for pants, the boy was wearing black slacks that stopped at the shins. And lastly, he wore black combat boots that went up to right below the end of the pants, so a minimal amount of skin was actually shown. The boy also had no weapons in view, so Tatsumi relaxed a touch, dropping his shoulders by a marginal amount.

"Sure. But why?" He asked warily. He had, after all, just been scammed of all of his money. The blond teen sat down next to Tatsumi, sliding down the wall with a sigh of content as his legs were finally able to rest.

"Hmm...I heard a rumor and wanted to test it. By the way, name's Naruto." Before Tatsumi could ask "what rumor", the sound of a carriage and a few voices made him stop.
"Again princess?" A tired voice asked.

"I can't help it; it's just in my nature!" A girlish reply retorted immediately. Tatsumi saw Naruto smile in his peripheral vision as the sound of light footsteps came closer to them. When the two looked up, they both saw a girl with an expensive, frilly dress.
