"Talking" – 'Thoughts' – Memory Lanes/Names –Demonic Voice – (Thought Scenario) – Important Stuff

Ravel Phenex is the youngest child of four siblings, and the only daughter, of the Phenex Family. She is a young girl with long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Her hair is tied in twin ponytails with large, drill-like curls, and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose. She is well-mannered, modest, elegant, and polite as defined by her upbringing. She's also quite stubborn and childish at times, and fairly harsh to those that she dislikes.

Part 1

Haziness filled his vision as he opened his blue eyes slowly and tiredly while the purplish daylight of the underworld, from the opened window to the side wall, invaded the room. His temple throbbed in pain as if he had been drinking with his father, Minato Namikaze, until one of them was snoozing under the table. That obviously never happened. The blond-haired boy grunted, rubbing his temple in pain and thought a third of his brain cells must have been fried at the moment.

It took him several minutes regained enough control of mind and body to realize he was not where he supposed to be. The pattern on the ceiling along with the wallpapers was completely different from what he knew was of evidence.

"Hang on a minute, this isn't my room…?" Naruto mumbled and rubbed his eyes. He examined the interior of the bedroom as clearly as he could. If he had to guess, it was a girl room with pinkish color and dolls along the wall, but he wasn't really sure. He never had a sister or met another girl beside his mother, whom did not decorate her bedroom like so. Her one was filled with torturous devices and weapons for reason that every night filled with girlish scream that obviously did not belong to her.

Pulling his body upright, allowing the warm furred blanket to slide itself down his toned muscular chest due to gravity, he noticed he was stark naked. That was odd since he never slept completely naked before as his clothing weren't actually made of real materials. There also red liquid beneath around his leg and crotch as he dipped and smeared it between his fingers. "This looks like blood…? But I'm not bleeding."

"Ah, slow down," a golden-haired girl with blurred face beseeched as she gasped in pain before pleasure came. She appeared to be trying something new as it was the same with him in the dimly lit bedroom. As if he was an animal in heat, he continued thrust forward with some reckless abandonment, forcing the girl pressed down on the bed. He wanted to stop, but the tingling sensation below his waist urged him forward and sought for something out of this world; a climatic ending perhaps.

Distorted fragment of memories about a hot, erotic, and rather awkward night invaded his mind one after another without his say so. The sensation of soft skin on his fingertips, his tongue has taste of her fluid, his ear had heard sound of her moaning voice, and most important of all he felt like he was inside something warm and moist. Shaking his head vigorously to clear the memory that seemed to be stuck between dream and reality away, he began to think to himself what it all meant exactly. It felt real, yet it wasn't.

Still, by all the definition and sensation, it was intercourse, but he had never done something like that before in his sixteen years of life. Even so, he knew enough from his mother and father's constant sexual venture around their secluded home to his dismay. Even if it seemed like a false memory, it felt quite good when he had experienced it for himself. A smile formed before it shifted into a frown when he realized that his partner was someone younger than him.

'Why can't I think straight? Everything is like jumble mess in my head,' Naruto thought and tried to grab any piece of memory that was vivid enough to be comprehensive. He remembered that after the battle with Riser Phenex in order to break off the stupid marriage contract and free Rias Gremory from the burden, he returned home to see his parents as well as relayed to them what had happened.

[Aftermath of Rias versus Riser]

"What did you say?" Kushina shouted in shock. She couldn't believe her own son just crashed one of the rating games. Since its inception, it was held in high esteem by many of her kinds – devils – as it was a mean to ascend the social ladder. Interfering with one was greatly frowned upon by most. "I told you to go with him to prevent something like that happening. Why didn't you!? Where were you!?"

"Calm down, Kushina. It wasn't an official game so there can't be that many spectators. If it was a real rating game, everyone would have stopped him. And from what he said, it seemed like Sirzechs-kun allowed it with expressed consent of both parties involved. Anyway, did you really interfere with the fight and assaulted Riser-kun as a promoted knight of Gremory?" Minato questioned skeptically.

Naruto reasserted that he did become a temporary substitute since Rias Gremory, the Crimson Haired Princess of Ruin, did not have a full peerage at the time, thus making the battle unfair to begin with.

"I know it was a bit impulsive of me to jump in and announced that I would fight for Rias-chan's behalf, but I just didn't want to let…" Naruto trailed off as he remembered Rias and Issei's interaction during the battle. They were more than friends, that much was obvious to anyone. Rias' brother, Sirzechs Lucifer, had blatantly implied it and urged him to crash the game while he stayed back and watched. "It won't happen again."

"See that you don't! And think before you do, damn it! I told you so many times!" Kushina ordered quite sternly. She then calmed herself and sighed with a thoughtful expression. "It was a good marriage proposal between two great houses, Phenex and Gremory. For you to break up something like that on a whim, it seems like the time has changed from what I remembered. By the way, did you apologize to Lord Phenex for your misconduct?"

"Eh? Misconduct? But it was a fair fight… kind of?" Naruto defended himself as he frowned. It obviously wasn't a fair fight one might say. Riser Phenex was only a High Class devil, while he was officially an Ultimate Class, but unofficially, he was higher. Regardless what level he was, it was still a world of difference. It was like him fighting a child, and he didn't need to bring out more devastating techniques like he previously fought with Lucifer in a rather friendly sparring until Grayfia jumped in between to stop them.

Narrowing her eyes at her son disapprovingly, Kushina sighed again. "Tell me, Naruto, do you really think that battle was fair? You, who trained daily since you were able to talk, fighting against Riser Phenex, who spends most of his time womanizing? And you manipulated him into accepting a battle he could not win."

It wasn't fair by anyone's standard. It was like asking the super devil, Sirzechs Lucifer, to be in his sister's peerage for the battle. "If you put it that way, I suppose not, Okaa-sama. I will apologize to Riser-kun and Lord Phenex when I get a chance of meeting them."

"See that you do," Kushina said. "Tell me about Ria –

"Actually, Naruto. If you wanted to, how about now?" Minato interrupted before his wife could complete her sentence. She glared at him angrily as he sweat-dropped. "I mean I'm heading over there anyway to discuss some… ummm personal matter."

Naruto eyed his father suspiciously as the man's eyes were shifty. "What personal matter?"

"Hmmm? That's for me to know and for you to find out… owww! Let go!" Minato said before his ear was pulled by his wife from the side.

"Minato! What personal matter? Are you hiding something from me?" Kushina demanded as her husband led her into the corner of the kitchen. He cocked his head over to see where his son was before trying to whisper something to his wife. He didn't, however, as he noticed a small miniature humanoid was ear dropping on the conversation on his shoulder.

"Naruto, this doesn't concern you," Minato said and threw the elemental chibi-clone at his son and then moved to another room before whispering. Naruto grabbed it before it was reabsorbed into him.

"I guess, I will get ready to go to school then," Naruto said, leaving the room. He was curious what personal matter his father was talking about, but at the moment, he got more important thing on his mind. He wanted to stay close to crimson-haired girl and possibly break up any more intimacy between Issei and Rias since their development would make him the third wheel. He didn't want to be someone like that. "Kuoh Academy huh, I wondered…"

Returning back with the couple talking in another room, they were still whispering to each other.

"I wasn't able to stop Naruto during the fight because I was watching the battle in another room with Lord Phenex and Lord Gremory. I mean I could have, but I don't think it was necessary since Naruto wouldn't go that far and kill Riser right in front of everyone. Anyway, the two Lords expressed their concern about the seemingly perfect proposal turning into a mess. After seeing the conclusion of the game, they both decided to break off the marriage contract in favor of Rias' wishes, but Lord Phenex asked me what I thought of his daughter, Ravel Phenex, before I could leave."

"Ravel? And…what do you think of her? Also why are we still whispering?"

"Naruto might have his miniature clones in here since he was able to use your technique to give his element shapes. I swear he keeps coming up with new techniques when he got nothing better to do. I lost count of how much he has now. As for Ravel, I accidently said to Lord Phenex that she would make a good wife for someone someday so he proposed another marriage contract with me if it didn't work out with Gremory's heiress."

"Oh! Really!? That's good so when the wedding?" Kushina asked, skipping several steps that a proper relationship should have.

"What…? Didn't you hear what I just said? I don't like repeating myself so listen properly… tsk. If it didn't work out between Gremory and our Houses, then I propose a backup plan since our son probably will be depressed. With that in mind, I told Lord Phenex I will talk to you about it to see what we should do. I have met Ravel Phenex afterward since she wanted to talk to me. She's a polite girl, and after her brother got beaten and from what I could tell briefly, she seemed to have some attractions toward Naruto now."

"Is she unstable…?"

"Eh? I… I don't think so. I think she obsessed, not insane."

"That's good too," Kushina said with a nod. Obsession got her approval as it can be used to drive the girl to become more suitable to her son. "Okay, I want to meet her first hand before I give my answer whether I want that marriage contract or not."

"Don't you mean our answer?"

"Yes, yes, our answer," Kushina corrected. "How old is she anyway?"

[Returning to the presence]

Naruto blinked as the blanket to his side moved. Someone was there as he leaned over to see. Ravel Phenex pulled herself up as the sheet fell off her body, showing her small firm breasts. She blinked as she saw Naruto, who was speechless as his eyes descended down her body.

"KYAHHH!"

The shrilling scream of the incredibly embarrassed girl as she covered herself ricocheted throughout the room and seeped through the door into the hall. It was loud enough to alert everyone within the massive mansion. Seconds later, the only door to the bedroom burst opened as Ruval Phenex, the oldest son of Lord Phenex, rushed through to render his sister's aid any aid she needed. Unlike Riser Phenex, who wore flamboyant style of clothing like a delinquent, the tall blond-haired man adorned noble attire like a real Lord.

"What happened, someone hurts you?" Ruval called out, noticing his little sister was crying on the bedside with another naked person who was face palming. Immediately, he forgot his courtly manner as fury boiled within him. "Naruto, you asshole, what did you do!? Why are you in my sister's room? Why are you naked! What did you do to her!? Tell me right now, you rapist!"

"Woah… What? Slow down and let me talk. I don't know what happened exactly," Naruto replied as Lord Phenex stood in the door along with a yawning Kushina and half-awakened Minato since they had stayed back for the night after the feast. Their eyes almost bulged out of their sockets after they saw what had happened in the room. It took at least a minute for them to regain their composure as Ruval thrashed Naruto around and demanding answers. He wasn't able to acquire any, however, since Kushina sent her naked son through several walls with a powerful enraged fist empowered with soaring flames.

"You idiot! How dare you do that to the daughter of our host? It's the first time I left home in centuries too!" She shouted angrily before hugging the girl, Ravel, in comfort. The golden-haired girl was no longer crying, but froze up at the massive hole to the side of her room, leading all the way to the outside of the house.

Lord Phenex and his eldest son, Ruval, sweat dropped as it obviously didn't go as plan. The damage to their home was something they didn't planned on either. Lady Phenex also arrived after the commotion with her second oldest son in tow before they muttered something to each other and frowned. Riser Phenex didn't appeared since he still locked himself in his room due to his defeat. He was still sulking about his first true loss.

"Hush, don't cry. He will take responsibility for what he has done or I will show him true hell," Kushina told the girl, who covered herself in blanket and sniffing a little.

"Kaa-sama," Ravel called the red-haired woman with a hidden smirk.

"Oi, oi, did you forget the plan?" Minato whispered softly into his wife's ear so others in the room could not hear. Kushina blinked and face palmed. In her rage, she'd forgotten about it completely.

Outside, in a deep trench, Naruto sighed. He pulled himself up as flames swirled around his body and materialized a new set of clothing. He knew, no matter what, that he would never do something like that consciously or unconsciously.

"What's going on? The last thing I remembered as having dinner and then nothing after that… could I've been drugged?"

Author Note:

For the prologue (not really necessary to know, but it helps), read Red String of Fate all the way to For Her Hands – Act II. This route is more like a detective story of Naruto finding out who set him up with some comedic moments along the way. Could it be his parents? Lord Phenex? Lady Phenex? Who knows… oh I do ^^b. Like usual, the route is AU from the other ones.
