Rossweisse gave him a huge grin, taking a breath from running. They both walked in relative silence towards their neighborhood.
"Your kids were very cooperative today." Rossweisse spoke up.
"My kids?" Naruto questioned before he realized she was talking about Class 3-B. "Tch, I bet they were, especially the boys."
"How did you know?" Rossweisse gasped.
"Having a pretty woman in class tends to get them in shape," Naruto said.
Rossweisse had a little blush on her face. Naruto just called her pretty, even if he did it indirectly; though, it seemed like the blonde either didn't notice, or didn't care.
"How about yours?" She inquired.
"Let's not talk about them, those worthless brats." Naruto sighed.
"Senpai," Rossweisse frowned, a look that Naruto would come to know as a sign of a moral lesson from the Valkyrie. "You're a teacher and it's wrong to call your student names."
"What?"
"It reflects badly on you. That's why you have a bad reputation among the students and teachers. Your fangirls exempted." Rossweisse whispered the last part.
"Listen here, if you were class 3-E's homeroom teacher, you'd have blown a gasket and started calling them names by now, just like how I am doing.
"Not every small problem can be solved with discipline, you know. You have to talk to them sometimes."
"Ha! As if those brats actually listen."
"Senpai!"
"What?!"
"You should try to talk to them and I promise you, they'll change for the better."
"Ok, fine. I'll try to talk to them. Happy?"
Rossweisse nodded beside Naruto and they continued trekking in relative silence.
"Oh, Senpai, if you are looking to buy things at a cheap price, you should try the hundred yen shop."
.

Naruto stopped for a moment to ask himself a question mentally. "Do I look poor?"
He made a mental note to look at himself in the mirror when he got home.
Rossweisse noticed Naruto had stopped for a moment so she turned around. "It's true, the hundred yen shop sells things at an affordable price."
"OK." Naruto nodded knowing what to say before he resumed trekking, and Rossweisse followed suit. It wasn't long before Issei's six-story house was visible in the distance along with Naruto's house beside it.
"Well then, goodnight Senpai." Rossweisse waved Naruto off with a smile. Naruto waved over his shoulder before he disappeared out of sight.
"I think the legends about him being cold and unapproachable are blown out of proportions. He seemed nice," Rossweise remarked before she entered the Hyoudou's house.
(The next day, Kuoh Academy.)
"What are you runts doing?" A voice asked, suddenly.
"Gah!" A trio of perverts exclaimed, suddenly.
Issei, Matsuda and Motohama were busy leering at jiggling breasts of all kinds of perkiness and sizes. They didn't exempt anyone as they gathered together to leer at the ladies' jiggling jugs in Kuoh Academy's gym clothes.
"S-sensei."
"Dismissed!"
The perverted trio scurried away with Issei running towards Asia to practice the three-legged race.
"Oi, Naruto-" Kurama tried to warn Naruto.
"Yeah, I felt it."
Naruto stared at the retreating trio, his stare lingering on Issei. "A dark aura is around him and that Gremory kid."
(Evening, Somewhere in Kuoh)
Naruto was pacing back and forth a distance away from a shop whose sign read "100-yen shop".
He's been pondering on what to do for the past ten minutes. Should I check it out? Should I not? What am I even doing here in the first place?
"Ah, lemme check it out."
Naruto pushed the door open, his eyes darting back and forth, accumulating the smallest of details about the shop.
"Is she broke or something?" Naruto wondered, looking at the super cheap products everywhere in sight.
"Senpai!"
"Ah!" Naruto almost jumped when he heard Rossweisse's voice behind him. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"What are you doing here?" Rossweisse fired back.
.
.
.
Naruto ended up paying for his and Rossweisse's groceries after defeating an adamant Rossweisse who wanted to pay for her groceries. The girl wanted to pay for her groceries so bad but Naruto was having none of that.
The moon was out and they walked back home in relative silence again. Naruto, for once, offered to carry her groceries but the Valkyrie turned him down with a smile.
"So, do you visit that shop frequently?" He asked.
"Hm."
"I see."
Naruto pondered on asking her if she was broke or if she needed money but threw that thought out the window. The girl might take it the wrong way and he'd have a berserk Valkyrie among the endless list of people who found him repulsive. He didn't want that.
"Is it getting cold or is it just me?" Rossweisse asked, rubbing her arms.
"It's cold tonight. I watched the weather forecast." Naruto remarked.
Rossweisse was freezing, he noticed. He stared at the jacket he had on and Rossweisse's bare shoulders exposed to the cold breeze. The Valkyrie caught him staring at her exposed shoulders and she almost cursed because she wanted to wear another blouse tonight. She had a cream blouse with a pleated skirt on. She subconsciously rubbed her shoulders and Naruto tightened his jacket around his body in a possessive manner, leaning away from her.
The thought crossed his mind but he squashed it down with a six paths ultra big ball rasengan; The thought of him covering her with his jacket.
Rossweisse on the other hand sighed dejectedly. Men just don't levitate towards her. She had it all, Looks, brain, body, character but no man would spare her the time of the day and now, her own colleague, her blonde handsome colleague, wouldn't even spare her a jacket to keep her warm in the cold. She was finally convinced it was a curse. Her lack of a boyfriend.
Sliverish-white hair drifted gently in the wind. Naruto stared at it discreetly. He's seen the same shade of hair somewhere but couldn't recall where.
They both walked all the way home and Naruto couldn't help but be tempted to shunshin home because it seemed like they've been walking forever. After walking some more, they finally reached their neighborhood. Naruto walked her to the front door and waited till she closed the door behind her.
"Goodnight, Senpai," She greeted without luster. She was… Down.
Naruto noticed but didn't say anything. He nodded at the sliver-white-haired woman before they parted ways.
