Tracing the names carved into the large, dark stone, the hand, its nerves new and strange, felt a cold twinge, causing the owner to shiver somewhat. Sunset Shimmer, upon being sure the blonde idiot was too distracted in telling his tale about some 'bell test' or whatever he was jabbering about, sunk her hand into the stone as cleanly as if sinking it into water. A slight glow formed a ring around the point of contact, and within the stone, Sunset could feel, and even see, her fleshy, pink hand return to its original hoof form. Naruto began to turn to look once more and Sunset quickly pulled her hand back out just before he was able to look at her.

“That's...really interesting,” Sunset stammered, having not been paying attention in the slightest. The blonde didn't seem to notice at all and continued talking. Casting a glance back to the still-open portal, Sunset repeated in nothing more than a whisper, “Very interesting.” She just hoped that nopony else had followed her. Though as she looked down at her now-human form, she realized that the only identifying characteristic she had were her mane and her cutie mark. While the one she still bore on her left flank, or whatever humans called it, was rendered invisible via the magically conjured panties and skirt, the one emblazoned on her purple shirt would act as a direct target. Luckily, she had been granted a jacket, though the fact that it was made of leather had nearly made her sick.

Shivering again, she rubbed her arms and looked to the ground. In doing so, she noticed something. Grooves dug in the dirt below, as well as two, tiny craters. Crouching low, she instinctively rested her knees in the two craters. From this position, she reached her hands out and gently rubbed her fingers through the grooves, squeezing her hands into fists, slightly digging up the earth loosened by what made the grooves in the first place. She realized with no small sense of certainty that it was likely herself. By this time, Naruto had taken notice and was watching the girl in front of him in curiosity. This curiosity turned to alarm when Sunset Shimmer gasped, her left eye beginning to twitch as she threw her hand to her head, gripping it as though in pain.

Sunset's mind was on fire. And she remembered. Remembered going through the portal. Remembered the shock. Remembered everything.

“Ugnnn,” she groaned. The trip wasn't quite as smooth as she was expecting it to be, but she could worry about that miscalculation later. She shook her head, and tried to blow some mane out of her eyes. Upon failing that, she reached up to merely brush it away, and froze. Before her, where her hoof should have been, was something else. She wanted to scream out in shock, to leap in fright, but she was silent, still. When she was finally capable of doing...well, anything, she immediately began to hyper-ventilate. Upon attempting to run, she found she was unable to get any speed going. Turning, she noticed that the part of her hind legs that were connected to the ground, were not her hooves, nor were they the ends of her legs, which extended beyond her tailless rear.

Wobbling to her feet, she used a nearby tree for balance. “This isn't happening. THIS. ISN'T. HAPPENING.” She repeated this mantra over and over, hoping that it would somehow make her situation any less real. This was not what the mirror had shown her. She was supposed to be made an Alicorn. A Princess. Somepony worthy of ruling over pony-kind. As she continued to utter incoherent reassurances, her brain began to go into total melt down. Not merely from shock, but also from sensory overload, all the new nerves in her hands and feet firing off at each tiny brush, sending signals to her brain from sensors that never existed until moments ago.

Luckily, her feet were covered by a pair of boots, keeping stimulation to a minimum. But her hands had no such luck, and were needed to keep hold of trees just to keep the unicorn upright. As she exited the treeline, she found no more to grip and began to tumble. Had she been more concerned with her surroundings, and not herself, she would have heard the shouting voice before it was too late. One step too far and a twist and suddenly she found her lungs filling with water.

Her hyper-ventilating wasn't helping, as she couldn't stop sucking in the river water as she was swept away in the current. Flailing her limbs, trying with all her might to get to the surface, she was hindered by both lack of visibility and being cast around by the river's strong pull. Her lungs burned and she was unable to think, to act, to...do, anything. As things began to go dark, she felt a sudden jerk as she was ripped from the cold water, to the cold air.

A blur of blonde and orange descended upon her, and while she couldn't clearly hear due to lack of oxygen, and water in her ears, she knew he was trying to speak to her. While she couldn't move, she watched him begin pressing against her chest, hard. He forced her mouth open, and began leaning toward her face as everything went completely dark.

Opening her eyes, Sunset blushed as she noticed the blonde's face was rather close to hers. Uncomfortably so. Blushing, she pulled back as Naruto knelt down beside her. “Sunset, are you alright?” he asked, looking worried when the red-and-blonde-haired girl scrunched her eyes closed once more, rubbing her temples as she tried to abate the headache.

“Fine, I just-” She managed to stop herself. Her entire plan hinged on everyone believing she had amnesia. Telling them now that she remembered would not only ruin that, it was liable to get her interrogated, tortured, and then killed. If Naruto described these 'Shinobi' correctly, than they were a warrior culture, meaning if they thought she was a spy, she would not be looked upon kindly. “I just, got a headache. I'll be fine in a minute.” To be fair, it wasn't a total lie. She did have quite the headache now. Luckily, the hospital had given her something for that. She wasn't sure what precisely it was, all she knew is that it made her feel fabulous.

One fatal flaw Sunset was actually willing to admit about herself was that she had no tolerance to drugs or alcohol. She didn't even remember what had happened the first and only time she had tried some hard cider. And the headache medication the Equestrians had was nowhere near as strong as the stuff the Doctor had prescribed, yet any sufficiently high dose tended to cause the unicorn to become anything from drowsy to downright loopy. By the Sun above, if their medications were this strong, she didn't even want to imagine the alcohol. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out the bottle of pills and quickly took one, swallowing it and waiting for the magic to happen.

Looking up at the blonde who she had been released to, she took the hand that was being held out to her, glad for the help up. She brushed some hair from her face, looked her savior deep in the eyes, and forced herself not to gag as as she moved her face close enough to feel the warmth of his breath on her face. She smirked when she saw the blonde blush, knowing that at least her disgusting displays of false flirtation were at least having their desired effects. She decided to push it just a bit more for now. She bit her bottom lip a tad and fluttered her eyelashes.

She ceased her flirtatious behavior, however, when the blonde began to pinch the bridge of his nose. As Sunset Shimmer's eyebrow quirked, Naruto's eye began to twitch. “Are you ok?” she asked, and while he seemed to be in some sort of pain, he merely nodded, waving off her concerns.

“Yeah, just a headache. Damn clones. What were they thinking?”

“Your clones?” Sunset questioned. “What do they have to do with it?” Naruto continued to pinch the bridge of his nose as the headache subsided.”

“Not really sure,” he replied with a shrug. “It only happens when a bunch of them disperse at once. It just gives me a headache for some reason.” Filing that information away, Sunset decided to try and find out more.

“So your clones disperse and it gives you a headache? That doesn't sound healthy,” she said, offering one of the headache pills to the blonde, though he refused. “Have you ever tried to find out what the headaches are?” Naruto began to rub the back of his head sheepishly, and Sunset knew in the pit of her stomach that the answer was going to irritate her.

“Well, to tell you the truth, it never crossed my mind to try and find out...” Yup, Sunset's gut was right. Here was a boy who could make copies of himself, with evidence that it put some sort of strain on his mind, and he hadn't even thought to try and discover just where this particular side effect was coming from.

“Sweet Celestia, this boy really is an idiot!” she thought with disdain. “And I have to act like some silly filly with a crush on him...It might make it easier to gain his trust and worship, but by the Sun, this plan is going to be torture of a magnitude far beyond whatever this village can do to me, I'm sure of it...”

Forcing a smile, she once more took hold of Naruto's hand, before trying to pull him in the direction of the village. “Well, come on,” she said, trying to sound enthusiastic. “If your clones dispersed, it must mean they've finished cleaning your apartment, and to tell you the truth, I could really use a bath that doesn't involve me drowning in cold, dirty water.” It was true. She really did feel somewhat dirty, and with everything going on that day, a nice, relaxing bath sounded amazing. So busy was she, lost in thoughts of hot water and quiet contemplation, that she didn't notice the smirk plaster itself across Naruto's face.

She had gone two steps before Naruto had swept her up, bridal style, and leapt to the trees. Despite herself, Sunset let out a shrill scream as they left the earth. Now, she had been in the air numerous times riding in chariots pulled by Pegasus ponies. But those were magic. They were unaffected by gravity and so nopony ever had to experience the gut-dropping feeling of falling back to earth. This was different. Every leap Naruto made, she felt in the pit of her stomach. She felt the pull of gravity as they descended to new tree branches and soon moved to rooftops, and she tightened her grip on the blonde.

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!” Sunset shouted, her eyes scrunched closed, not willing to look down. Naruto just laughed her off, his love of pranks calling overshadowing the fact that the girl in his arms might be deathly afraid. It also served as a revenge of sorts. Naruto would be the first to admit that he wasn't always the brightest, but he could tell the multi-colored-hair girl was hiding something. He knew better than anyone how to conceal ones' true feelings, masquerade as something you were not. He couldn't definitively say she was outright lying. Heck, maybe she really had lost some of her memories, and it was just throwing him off. He shook his head before, much to Sunset's horror, he took one more mighty leap, nearly double the height and distance as before, and came to an easy landing right outside his apartment.

Sunset felt her escort come to a stop, cracking a single eye open to notice they were at what must have been the apartment. She took a minute to collect herself, before glaring at the blonde who still held her in his arms. Plan be damned, she couldn't contain her irritation. “Put. Me. Down.” she said, as calmly as she could. Naruto smirked again, having managed to get the intended rise from his house guest. However, he followed orders like a good soldier, placing the unicorn-turned-human back on her feet.

Regaining her balance, Sunset really wished she had her magic so she could really give the human a piece of her mind. However, the Earth Pony way would have to do for now, she decided, whipping her arm out and with the palm of her hand whacked the idiot upside his spiky, blonde head. Not her style, but it certainly made her feel better.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The apartment was small, but livable. Despite the condition it was in, it still had hot, running water. And as she shed the clothing the portal had provided her and sank into the hot water of Naruto's bath, she sighed in bliss. This was the first real non-stressful moment since arriving, and she wanted to savor it. She sunk down further, submerging herself to the chin, as she began to do some further investigations of her human form. Her immediate attention fell to her chest, taking the mounds in her hands and giving them a few gentle squeezes. As her hands brushed her nipples, she shuddered and had to stifle a low moan of pleasure.

She really hoped Naruto couldn't hear her as she continued to explore her new form at a much more in depth level. Her mind was reeling from the new sensations from her hands on her breasts. As her appendages continued to move, almost on their own, down her body, her breathing became more irregular and ragged. The actual purpose of her explorations were drowned beneath waves of pleasure as her fingers, unbidden, moved to a place that had not changed much.

Slipping her fingers between her legs, she lightly began to rub her lower lips. She couldn't contain a moan this time, as she felt as though her entire form was on fire. She continued to entertain herself with simple strokes and caresses, before she couldn't take it anymore. When Sunset Shimmer wanted something, she took it. And take it she did, plunging a finger inside of her. Then two. She gasped as she explored herself with a human hand. This was not the first time she had explored her own intimate areas. It was, however, the first time she did so without needing her magic to compensate for her hooves.

Her back arced sharply and suddenly, as her fingers nicked her clit, sending a veritable blast of sensation through her entire body. She continued her assault on her body's pleasure points, the heat building to near unbearable levels as she came closer and closer to her final release.

Part of her mind was screaming to stop. The rational, calculative part of her brain that knew that not only was this neither the time nor the place, but that it would be incredibly embarrassing if Naruto found out, making it that much harder for him to take her seriously. The other part of her brain, however, was riding the high from her pain medication, and cared only for the promise of climax. And it didn't have to work much longer.

She felt every muscle in her body tighten and her upper thighs began to quiver. Her already erratic breathing became labored as her head began to spin. She felt as though she were going to black out from the intensity. It was like a volcanic eruption of pleasure, flowing from her sex and rippling through her quivering form. So focused on the pleasure of cumming, she barely even tasted the coppery-tang of her blood, Sunset having bit her lip hard enough to cause it to bleed in an attempt to keep from screaming out and alerting her roommate. It was the most intense orgasm she could remember. Part of her entertained the thought that it might have been the secrecy that turned her on, but of course, the more likely scenario was that she was just loopy from painkillers and it made every pleasurable sensation feel heightened.

As her orgasm began to die down, she felt light-headed, her vision blurry. Slowly, she sank further into the hot water, until everything below her nose was submerged. She couldn't move. Her body felt like a limp noodle. Even if she could move, she didn't really want to. Her mind and body still reveling in the aftermath of her first human orgasm, she let the heat of the water relax her and calm her down. When she was finally able to think clearly again, she sighed, beginning the arduous task of actually cleaning herself. Groaning at having to move, she gripped the bar of soap in her hand, thanking Celestia that the boy actually had soap and shampoo...though she would have to see about getting some conditioner. A girl had to look her best, after all.

While she lathered her mane with the shampoo, she contemplated where to take her plans concerning the blonde whom she was staying with. She knew she had to get him to trust her. But more than that, she had to get him wrapped around her finger. To that end, the quickest way was going to be to seduce him. The question was, how far was she herself willing to go to keep both her cover and her new, unwitting lackey...

The general consensus seemed to be that the two were kids, which meant she wasn't likely to have to meet Naruto's more...primal needs, she thought as she began to rinse the suds from her red-and-blonde hair. At least she hoped. There was still way too much about human culture that she didn't know about. She had pleasured herself on numerous occasions, but had never actually been with a stallion. It just seemed like it wasn't worth her time. She had studies, she had plans, and neither involved having a coltfriend. If it came to it, she knew she would need to do the deed with this blonde human. But she prayed to whatever god existed in this world that it wouldn't come to that. The more tame elements of a relationship she could handle easily enough.

So absorbed in her thoughts, Sunset was only half aware as she stepped from the bath and began to dry herself. And that was why, as she wrapped her mane in the towel, she forgot one of the first rules she had deduced about human culture.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

“Much better,” Sunset announced, leaving the bathroom. Naruto, who had been keeping himself busy making some ramen, looked up as the girl stepped into the kitchen area and froze. Sunset Shimmer quirked an eyebrow as her roommate's right eye began to twitch uncontrollably. Looking down, Sunset realized she had failed to put any clothes on after her bath, leaving her naked form on display for the blonde. As she examined herself, more embarrassed that she forgot something so basic than at actually being in the nude, her breasts, while not overly large, jiggled energetically with each movement.

That was all Naruto could take, a bit of blood beginning to trickle from his nose as he fell backwards, he and the chair he was in crashed to the floor. Unsure of whether this was a normal human reaction, Sunset used her arm to cover her breasts as best she could, and tentatively took a few steps forward, bending down and with her other hand began to poke the blonde. “Hey,” she said. “Are you ok?”

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

From outside the window, unseen by the two, Kakashi leaned against the wall, content with simply listening in on the two. He had for a moment thought this might have been a bad idea, but realized there really wasn't a good alternative. If he was wrong, and Sunset Shimmer was a spy, placing her with any Shinobi, even a competent one such as himself or Anko, would be a bad idea. Naruto, while a genin shinobi, knew next to nothing concerning village secrets, but could still defend himself in the event that Shimmer turned on him, which a civilian wouldn't likely be able to do.

Of course, at this point, he was convinced that she was no shinobi. No self respecting shinobi or kunoichi could or would act like that. That didn't mean she wasn't lying or keeping secrets. But her lack of anything resembling subtlety in her act spoke volumes about her level of training. That is to say, no training at all. Deciding to leave the two to work out their predicament, he used the shunshin, as he needed to report in to the Hokage about Sunset's progress.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Naruto began to come to, opening his eyes to find himself staring at the breasts of his charge. He was frozen for a moment, before leaping to his feet, turning his head. Thrown off balance for a moment, Sunset fell onto her shapely rear, with a soft “oof!”

She glared up at the blonde as he dashed out of the kitchen. She heard the sounds of rustling and drawers opening and slamming shut, before Naruto rushed back in, carrying a blue bundle, which he dropped in front of the girl before again averting his eyes. Sunset stopped glaring before taking the bundle, which turned out to be some pajamas, and knew what the boy wanted. She quickly pulled on the pants, before buttoning up the pajama shirt. The boy was slightly smaller than her, but he luckily wore baggy sleep-wear, so the garments were not too tight, aside from a few select areas. She made a mental note to get some pajamas for herself.

Once she was fully dressed, Naruto finally turned back around, and Sunset Shimmer internally smirked seeing the blush adorning his cheeks. Apparently, her unintentional bout of nudity had managed to help more than hurt. Yawning, she leaned into the blushing boy, laying her head on his suddenly rigid shoulder. “I think it's time for some sleep...” she announced. Indeed, it was already dark outside, and with all the...excitement of the last few hours, she felt like she needed a nap.

“Y-yeah,” Naruto said nervously, rubbing the back of his head. “You can take the bed for tonight, it's in there...” Sunset watched him point toward the bedroom, and while she pouted on the outside, inside she was relieved. She was right, he had no expectation of having intercourse. Either that, or he was simply being a gentleman to lure her into a false sense of security. But that was a level of irony she couldn't see the idiot before her pulling off. Either way, her virginity would remain intact for the night. However, she still needed to keep up appearances, and to that effect took his pointing hand in her own and lowered it, jutting out her lower lip in a pout of epic proportions.

“But if I take your bed, where are you going to sleep?” she asked, attempting to sound as innocent as possible, fluttering her eyelashes. Naruto was sweating now, his cheeks aglow with his blush.

“Don't worry about me,” he stammered in reply. “A blanket or two on the floor, and a pillow are all I need.”

“You don't have to do that,” Sunset announced, silently gagging at herself. “I can take the floor just as well as you can.” She didn't mean it of course. But how would it look for her to just take the offer without making herself appear to be a considerate, caring individual? Naruto, as predicted, just shook his head.

“No way!” he replied, smiling brightly and giving her a thumbs up. “You're a guest. And besides that, you just got out of the hospital after nearly drowning to death. What kind of heartless person would I be if I made you sleep on the floor?”

“But I just can't ask my rescuer to sleep on the cold floor,” Sunset cried. She pressed into Naruto's chest, her still-damp hair hanging over her face, shadowing the grin that she couldn't repress. If the blonde saw anything, he certainly didn't show it.

“Like I said,” he replied, trying and failing to wiggle away from the girl. Something was definitely not right. Any other girl would have agreed right away to take his bed and let him sleep on the floor. Hell, most girls would have knocked him out cold upon him seeing them naked. This was way outside of his comfort zone. “You just got out of the hospital. You were in the hospital because you almost died in a river. I can't let you sleep on the cold, dirty floor. What else would you suggest?”

This was it. The part where Sunset would 'begrudgingly' agree. But when she opened her mouth, what came out was something totally different than what she in her mind had told her mouth to say. “Well, we could always just share the bed.” Naruto went rigid and Sunset's hand flew straight to her mouth. “What did I just say?!” she screamed in her head. “And why in Tartarus did I say it?!”

Her eyes, seemingly in response to her question, darted up to the kitchen table, where sat, among other things, the bottle of headache medication the doctors had given her. It was then that it clicked in her mind, and she knew she would have to be careful if she ever took those pills again. If they were responsible for her masturbation session too, they not only made her loopy, but down-right horny. And that was a very bad combination.

“A-are you sure you'd be comfortable with that?” Naruto asked, his voice shaky and faint. Sunset cursed under her breath. There was no way to backtrack from this, but as long as the blonde refrained from attempting anything funny, then...

“Of course,” she replied. “I-I'd prefer it, actually.” Seeing that Naruto was looking at her skeptically, not truly believing her, she internally groaned, before leaning forward and planting a kiss on Naruto's whiskered cheek. His blush immediately doubled, as did her own. The things she did to keep up appearances.

Chapter End.
