Naruto Phenex – Chapter 1 The Beginning
The Underworld, a dark, monstrous place filled with vile, detestable monsters just waiting to cause havoc. At least from a human may think like that but to a devil and other assortment of species, it's a place to call home.
A place where devils aspire to reach a standing of high-class and show of their power to others, some may just want to raise a family or start a business. There are even those who wish to watch the world go by and linger in the bliss of relaxation.
One of such happens to be a young devil; 6 years old to be exact; who is sleeping the day away in is rather luxurious room. This young devil is the fourth child of the Phenex clan, one of the remaining 34 Devil Clans of the 72 Pillars that make up the devil society. His name is Naruto Phenex, a high-class devil with a mane of sun-kissed blond hair that can be seen from under the covers. His soft, even breaths and the peaceful expression show that he's in a deep slumber and isn't going to wake up anytime so-
"Nii-san! Wake up Nii-san! I'm bored!" Shouted a squeaky girly voice followed by some banging against the door.
Naruto creaked one of his eyes open which showed azure blue with a hint of annoyance. Deciding to ignore said annoyance he pulled the covers over his head and proceeded to fall asleep again.
"Don't ignore me Nii-san; I know you can hear me!" This time the voice banged the door with more vigour.
"Go away and let me sleep." Mumbled Naruto, curling into a ball on his large queen sized bed. "Go bother someone else..."
"It's 2 in the afternoon!" The voice sounded more and more annoyed as time went on.
Finally giving up, he got out of bed and put on a dressing gown and trudged towards the door. Opening it he came to the sight of a 4-year-old girl with blond hair, wearing a pink frilly dress with her hands on her hips giving him the biggest glare she could muster. This was Ravel Phenex, the youngest child of the Phenex clan and Naruto's cute younger sister. "I can't help but think you're annoyed at something..."
If it was possible the glare intensified. "You promised you would play with me today!" She exclaimed rather loudly.
Naruto stared at her for a good minute with blank look until he hit his fist into his palm with a look of realisation on his face. "Ha, I did say that, didn't I? Well since I promised I guess I have no choice." He said with a smile.
Suddenly Ravel's face changed form on of irritation to having the biggest and brightest smiles he's ever seen. "You're the best, Nii-san! Come on lest go!"
"Yes, yes. Just let me change my clothes and then we can do whatever you want." He chuckled lightly at her enthusiasm.
He closed the door and swiftly moved over to the wardrobe and picked up his outfit. He wore a long-sleeved light-blue shirt with a grey vest over the top. Then he put on some grey shorts and some black shoes with white stripes on them. Lastly he walked up to his to his desk and opened a small golden box, inside was a necklace with a shiny green gem attached to it. After putting it on he scanned the room for when he forgot something but decided he hadn't.
"So, imōto, what do you want to do first?" Naruto asked as he opened the door and smiled down at Ravel.
"Let's go to the garden!" With that she started to skip ahead with that ever-present smile on her face. Naruto walked after her in a more secluded pace with his hands in his pockets, smiling at some of the servants that happened to walk by.

"How did I end up here?" Naruto mumbled to himself as he looked around the Phenex clan's rather spacious library. He was walking behind his sister as she talked about her day with Naruto nodding every now and again to show he was listening, when he turned a corner, a corner he was sure would lead outside, that actually lead him in the opposite direction. As he was about to turn around and address his cute little sister one thought went through his mind. 'Where's Ravel?'
With a sigh he just kept walking down the corridor until he came across the library he's occupying now. 'Well might as well look around...' "What are you doing here young man?" Cutting his thoughts off and nearly jumping out of his skin, he didn't even get to walk five steps before he heard a feminine voice behind him.
Snapping his neck around rather quickly, he got a good look at the stranger. She is a rather busty woman with long, wavy purple hair that falls all the way down her back with matching purple eyes. Her outfit is a dress consisting of a navy blue tunic top with gold accents and a pale blue skirt with open sides, and black shoes over matching thigh-high stockings with garter belts. The top reveals much of her cleavage, and is held with a gold choker with blue and red jewels. For accessories, she's wearing a black headband with a red-orange jewel over her forehead to keep her long hair in place, and she wields a staff-like scepter. She also has purple lipstick.
Realizing she asked him a question he scratched the back of his head and spoke with a sheepish smile. "Haha, sorry I got lost and somehow ended up here."
The busty woman looked at him with amusement plainly shown on her face and spoke after some chuckling. "Aww well that's unfortunate. Tell me, what's your name young man?" As she was saying this, she was also looking at him intently. 'He looks familiar.'
"I thought it was polite to introduce yourself first." He said narrowing his eyes. She may seem nice but he's never seen her before.
"Oh how rude of me. My name is Yubelluna and I look after this library." Yubelluna said with a small bow.
"Yo Luna-chan I'm Naruto Phenex." Naruto greeted with a small smile and a lazy wave.
Suddenly Yubelluna eyes widen and she took a step back. She was speaking so casually to the fourth son of Lord Phenex but he also called her Luna-chan which no one's done before. She got down on one knee and bowed her head low. "I apologies for my disrespect Naruto-sama, I did in fact not recognize you."
Naruto gave her a strange look. "Well I don't feel disrespected so you don't have to apologies and you don't need to bow like either Luna-chan. I just need to find my way to the garden...and my sister..."
Her head shot up and a surprised look was etched on her face as she stared at the boy who was now mumbling to himself. 'This is the first time I've spoken to him and he's talking to me like an equal, with no shred of arrogance in his tone.'
As Naruto was still mumbling to himself, Yubelluna got up from her kneeling position and approached him with a smile. "Naruto-sama if you will I can guide you to the garden."
He stopped what he was doing and turned to Yubelluna. "You'd really do that?"
"Of course" She replied smiling.
"Yosh, thank you, come on we're burning daylight here!" Naruto exclaimed with joy while walking to the exit.
Yubelluna shook her head in amusement, walking to the exit to guide him.
Break.
"Where did you go Nii-san?" asked a sad-looking Ravel walking around the garden on her own. "Muuu~ I bet he's gone back to bed!" She ranted while stomping the floor.
Break
"There you go Naruto-sama, just walking down this hallway and the garden is up a head." Said Yubelluna while gesturing to the door down the hall with her staff.
"Thanks Luna-chan, you're the best!" Naruto shouted while running down the hall waving back at Yubelluna.
"I do try." She replied, giggling into her hand and with that she disappeared back to the library.
Naruto just continued to run down the hall trying to get to ravel as fast as possible while thinking of excuses on why he was late. 'She's going to be pretty mad when I turn up, I should probably get her some sweets or something.' Whatever Naruto was going to think up next was cut short when he ran straight into something.
Getting up with a groan, he was about to unleash a tongue lashing of a lifetime but again he was interrupted by a much deeper voice. "Naruto-chan I've looked all over for you. Tou-san and kaa-san want to talk to you."
Looking up, he is now stood in front of a rather tall man with blond hair same as his and Ravels, but he was also wearing elegant noble attire that was light blue in colour. This was Naruto's oldest brother and the heir of the Phenex clan Ruvel Phenex. "Why'd you step in front of me like that Ruvel!?"
Ruvel merely chuckles and starts dragging the struggling boy by the arm. "Don't be like that Naruto-chan, now come we need to go see Tou-san."
"I can walk on my own you know!" He shouts with irritation in his voice.
He looks back at Naruto and gives him a deadpanned stare. "You'll just get lost if someone doesn't guide you."
"Tch!" Naruto turns his head away with a small blush.
Break
Inside the dining room three people sat at the table eating and drinking and idly chatting waiting for their run way guest. The first was a man who looked like an older version of Ruvel but had a small beard growing. His attire was similar to Ruvel's but instead of light blue his was maroon. This was Naruto's father Lord Phenex.
The second was a rather beautiful woman who looked like an older version of Ravel except she kept her hair up high with ornate hair decorations. She was Lady Phenex, Naruto's mother.
The third person looked to only be a few years older the Naruto with a very stylish look to him. He had Blond hair and wore a burgundy blazer with gold trimmings. This was Naruto's other older brother Riser Phenex.
They were enjoying their small talk when the door swung open with Ruvel and Naruto entering, or more like Naruto being dragged in, with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
"So, Naruto, where have you been, my boy?" Asked Lord Phenex with a grin on his face.
Seeing where this is going he decided to get this over and done with. "Nowhere really... Just ended up in library where I met this nice woman who guided me to the garden..." Naruto mumbled most of that and stared at the floor the whole time, seemingly finding that more interesting.
"Hahaha, still getting lost in your own home? Classic!" Riser blurted out while holding his sides receiving a glare from Naruto.
"Yes it was quite nice of Yubelluna to guide you here but back to the topic on why we brought you here." Spoke Lady Phenex with a smile on her face finding the situation amusing like everyone else.
"Indeed, Naruto's inability to walk in a straight line aside" Lord Phenex said with Naruto now directing his glare at him. "Your mother, Riser and I are all going to visit the Gremory Clan and we want you come along with us."
A bit surprised by what he said he asked the first thing that popped into his mind. "Why?"
"We think it would be great experience for you to see how the clans interact with each other and to meet members of other clans can't hurt now can it?" Lady Phenex said with small smile.
Naruto stood there for a few seconds thinking it through then with a shrug said. "Sure I don't see anything wrong with it."
"Good, good. Now that's taken care of, you might want to hurry back to Ravel. She does have a bit of a temper." As Lord Phenex stopped talking the doors swung open again and there stood Ravel with the most vicious glare that shouldn't be seen on a 4 year olds face.
"Nii-san!" On that day Naruto experienced for the first time the power of feminine fury.
Break
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"Yes we're here now be quiet!"
This would be the last time Riser travels anywhere with Naruto, through the trip to the Gremory Clan Naruto had nothing to do. He couldn't sleep because carriage they were riding in was moving around too much and he couldn't keep himself occupied because he forget all his stuff back at home. So the next best thing would be to annoy Riser until he exploded. 'Ahh how fun.'
But alas all good things must come to an end, so when the carriage stopped and he and Riser got out to meet their parents, who used a different carriage, he's bored again.
The four Phenexes walked up the Gremory household, which was quite impressive in size and beauty, the guards at the entrance called for an escort for them. They all proceeded down the hallways to dining room, Lady Phenex having to drag Naruto with them by his arm because he kept turning down the wrong halls, where the meeting is meant to be held.
On arrival the escort opened the door and ushered them in. Naruto being the first to enter, or dragged in, got a good look at the occupants already inside.
The first was a middle-aged looking man with crimson hair and goatee. He wore a stylish white tuxedo with black shoes. This man was Lord Gremory the head of the Gremory clan.
The one next to him was a beautiful woman with brown long hair that reached her shoulder blades. She wore a cream coloured dress that reached just above her ankles. This was Lady Gremory.
On the opposite side of Lord Gremory was another man who is quite handsome and has the appearance of a 20-year-old who also had crimson hair. He is Sirzechs Lucifer, formerly known as Sirzechs Gremory, one of the four Satans.
Next to him was another beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair flows all the way down to her back and features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends. She is wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick.
What surprised Naruto the most was that another person that was there looked to be about the same age as him? She, like most people there, has crimson locks that reach her shoulder blades and is wearing a cream coloured dress like Lady Gremory.
After all the Phenexes walked into the dining room Lord Gremory stepped forward and greeted them. "Greetings my friends of the Phenex Clan, I hope you had a safe trip here?"
"Greetings to you as well and yes, the trip was rather pleasurable." Replied Lord Phenex with a smile and reached out to shake his hand.
"Speak for yourself..." Mumbled Riser as he gave the grinning Naruto a glare.
Lord Phenex the looks over at Sirzechs inclines his head. "It's an honour as always Lucifer-sama."
"It's a pleasure as well Lord Phenex, this time you seem to have another with you. Who might this be?" Sirzechs replies then looks down at Naruto who seems to be looking into space.
With a quick nudge from his mother, Naruto was brought back to the living and noticed everyone was staring at him. Realizing this great opportunity for a good impression, he needed a response that befitting a high-class devil. So lifting his hand in lazy wave he said "Yo."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Ow!" Naruto's cradling his head with a visible lump. Behind him his mother was looking at him with mild glare and a raised fist.
"Naruto you're talking to a Satan, be more polite." Lady Phenex lectured lightly.
Realising his mistake, Naruto straightened himself out and coughed into his hand. "Yo, how's it going?" all said with a lazy wave again.
"Ow! Why'd you hit me again? I asked how he was doing!" Naruto now cradling another lump, curtsy of his mother, asked.
Lady Phenex just sighs and shakes her head. Suddenly laughter rings out into the room and all occupants look to see Sirzechs laughing and wiping away a tear. "Hahaha I like him already!"
"Well anyway seeing as you introduced your son I would like to introduce my daughter." Lord Gremory looks over at the small read head girl "Rias-chan if you please."
The now named Rias stepped forward and bowed "Hello my name is Rias Gremory, The heir of the Gremory clan."
"Now that's out the way I think we should get straight to the topic at hand." Lord Phenex said while taking a seat.
"Yes the Joining of our clans." Said Lord Gremory with a smile who also took a seat, as did everyone else.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. He's not stupid, he knows for two clans to join they would need to either take over the other clan or use an arranged marriage. He suddenly had a feeling his life is about to change drastically.
"So it's agreed then, the arranged marriage of Naruto Phenex and Rias Gremory will be made official." announced Lord Phenex proudly.
"WHAT!"

Since this is my first time there are probably quite a few mistakes so I would appreciate some constrictive criticism.
