Chapter 1 - Kuoh's New Arrivals

o~0~o

Bodies of humanoid beings made of shadows lay littered on the stoned floor. The room was massive, with stone pillars holding up the roof that lead to a set of stairs. At the top was a pedestal with light encasing it from a hole in the roof. Stood in front of the walls were knight statues with a sword imbedded into the floor in front of them and the hands of the knight resting on the end of the handle.

The sound of footsteps on the stone floor could be heard along with the sounds of chains being dragged across the floor. The sounds were made by a teen. He was lean with defined muscles of an athlete and fair skin. He wore a black zip-up hoodie with the hood down and a burnt orange t-shirt. He had on dark blue jeans and black and white hightops. But his most defining features were the blonde hair, blue which had a hint of violet eyes and 3 whisker marks on each cheek.

He had chains with a blade on the ends made of golden energy held loosely in his hands as they dragged along the floor behind him. As he walked past the last pair of knight statues they began to disappear.

Just as the blonde was about to ascend the stairs, water began to seep out from the cracks of the stones on the walls and floor. The droplets began to pool behind him, hearing the water the blonde stopped.

From the pool of water a woman arose. She was made entirely of water until all of it was used up to make her body, then colour appeared. She looked to be in her mid 20s. She wore a pure white dress that showed off her amazing figure and endowed assets. She had on white sandals. Her hair was golden and straight that went down to her lower back and the brightest blue eyes. Down the right side of her face were thin black marks that looked like ivy on her face. She also had a small golden chain tiara with a gold medallion hanging from it. She had a kind smile on her face.

"Looks like I was right about you." She said with a soothing voice.

"Well I am one of a kind." The blonde replied with a smirk, while still facing away from her.

"Yes, yes you are. However you may have passed my challenge of strength by beating the Umbra." She said as she looked around the room. The beings now known as Umbra began to sink into the floor until the room was once again clear. She turned back to the blonde. "But I want to know your intentions with the object on that pedestal." She said with a slight edge in her voice and the kind smile morphed into a small frown.

Hearing the edge scared the blonde. He maybe strong but the woman behind him gave some of the strongest men in history their power. However he didn't let his outer shell crack and kept the smirk on his face. "You know who I am, who my parents are and I intend to do the job my parents started but with what I am the energy I give off will attract others that I don't want to intervene." He explained.

"Yes I know who you are. But I need to see what your heart holds." The woman once again became water before splitting up and passing around the blonde and reforming in front of him. She placed her hand over his chest, after her hand and eyes began to glow with a small white light.

The two stayed that way for a minute before the glow died down and she removed her hand from his chest. "Like what you see?" The blonde asked with a foxy tone.

"You are a kind hearted man. Your love for them is endearing but those two will not be the only loves in your life. You are loving to the people close to you. I like what I see Naruto Uzumaki and I hereby grant you access to Carnwennan, the White Hilt of Shadows." She said with a knowing smile.

"Thank you, Lady of the Lake." The now named Naruto replied with a small bow.

"Please rise Naruto, and call me Vivien." Vivien replied as she placed her hand on his left shoulder.

Once Naruto stood, Vivien stepped aside and let Naruto pass with her following. He walked up the stone steps until he reached the top and stood in front of the pedestal and saw Carnwennan, it was a small steel dagger with an engraved crossguard. The handle was white with the metallic end having a similar engraving of the crossguard.

Next to it was it's sheath. It was split into three parts the end was metallic with the engravings of the crossguard, the middle was leather with crossed straps over it and the final part was metallic as well with, again, the same engravings.

Naruto felt the supernatural energy emanating from the dagger, it amazed him. "This is the dagger of King Arthur, it was used by him to mask his supernatural energy he gained from me. While not an offensive weapon like his Excalibur, it could create Umbra to be used to your own devices." Vivien explained.

Naruto grabbed the handle of the dagger and inspected it. While inspecting it, he could feel it taking in a portion of his energy before returning it and funnelling in its energy.

"Apart from the supernatural energy, it is a well crafted blade." A male voice said within Naruto's mind.

'I know.' Naruto thought.

"It will only hide your presence while it is sheathed. You can absorb it into your body and call upon it at will." Vivien said.

"How?" He asked, as he sheathed the blade.

"Just will it to and it will respond."

Naruto thought about the blade disappearing and watched in amazement as it sank into his hand, disappearing all together. However he could still feel it's energy flowing through him.

"Seems it worked. I can see you but you just feel like a regular human, however because of my power I can slightly sense your energy. Only high level beings can detect it."

"Thank you, Vivien. I will use Carnwennan for good and not abuse its power."

Vivien nodded before turning to water and draining into the ground. "I hope so. I will be coming to check on you from time to time. I also have mission for you but I will wait until we next meet to bestow it upon you." Vivien voice spoke in an echo.

Naruto smiled. "As you wish."

Naruto then walked out of the room and out of the cave the room was located in. Outside was a lush green forest, tree roots grew out of the ground and back into it.

Stood there waiting were two people, one man and one woman. Both looked to be a couple of years older than Naruto himself.

The woman had fair skin with long straight black hair which was in a ponytail now and two bangs framing her face. Her eye were onyx black. She wore a dark purple long sleeved button-up shirt. She also had on a red skirt with slit along the side for mobility along with black high heel boots. She was, by every definition, beautiful.

The man also had fair skin. He had spiky silver hair pointed to the left. He also had grey eyes with a scar across his left eye. He wore a dark green sleeveless jacket over a navy blue t-shirt. He had denim jean with black trainers. But the most odd thing was the blue balaclava that covered the bottom half of his face.

Hearing Naruto, the two turned to see the blonde coming out of the cave. Seeing him the woman smiled.

"You get it?" The man asked.

"You really think I would be walking out if I didn't, Kakashi?" Naruto replied.

Kakashi smiled under the mask. "Fair point, The Lady isn't forgiving of people who try to take what's hers."

"So can we get back now?" Asked the woman.

Naruto turned his head to her. "Get bored Miki?"

"Yes, very." She replied with a pout and turned away from Naruto.

Naruto smiled playfully before walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her and kissing her on the cheek. "Come on Miki don't be like that."

After the kiss she relaxed before turning and kissing him on the lips, giving Naruto the taste of cherries from her lip balm.

Seeing the scene Kakashi rolled his eyes. "Will you two get a room." He said, hearing him, Naruto and Mikoto turned to face him before blushing and stepping back from each other. "Now let's get going before Kushina gets bored of waiting."

The two smiled before walking up to Kakashi, once they were stood together tendrils of darkness and light came up from the ground and encompassed the three before sinking into the ground leaving only the show prints in the grass from where they stood.

o~0~o

The same tendrils of dark and light appeared on another grassy field. The tendrils formed the outline of the three before retreating back into the ground, leaving Naruto, Kakashi and Mikoto where the tendrils were.

Naruto looked around the area. "So where are we?" He asked.

"Just outside of a town called Kuoh in western Japan." Kakashi replied.

"Why here of all places?"

"Kuoh is one of the Anchor Points of this dimension. It has a strong connection with the Dimensional Gap, Heaven and the Underworld." Mikoto answered.

"Ok, so this is where we are going to bring through Mom and Dad."

"Yeah, we have to wait though, we can only do this on a full moon. Might as well set up the house." Kakashi said.

Naruto nodded before kneeling down and placing his hands on the ground, lines of black and white come out from under his hand and spread out over the area. After a minute they were in the shape of a giant Ying-Yang symbol. He then turned his head to Kakashi and Mikoto. "You're up." He said.

The two nodded before coming up next to him and copying his motions. Nothing happened for a few seconds before the symbol began to glow and the ground started to shake. During the rumbling a house rose from the symbol. House is using the term loosely. It was a mansion, it had three stories and was black and white.

Once the entire building was above ground the three stood up and the symbol disappeared. "Ah, home sweet, home." Naruto said.

o~0~o

It was the middle of the night and the full moon was high in the clear night sky. Naruto, Kakashi and Mikoto were stood atop a hill, far from the mansion but close enough to Kuoh to use the energy from it.

Naruto turned to the two, "You two are going to be ok doing this without transforming?" He asked.

"Yeah, even though you have Carnwennan we can't risk them feeling our presence yet." Kakashi informed.

Naruto sighed. "Ok, let's do this."

He pulled out a necklace from under his t-shirt and took it off, it was a simple silver chain with a Ying-Yang symbol. He stepped forward and placed it on the ground before stepping back to where he was.

Each manipulated their energy in their hand to form a white flame for Mikoto, black lightning for Kakashi and a black ball with golden chains around it for Naruto.

"On my count." Naruto said. "3… 2… 1… Now!" He shouted as the three threw their energy at the necklace.

Once they hit the necklace, they were absorbed into the Ying-Yang in a vortex. Once all the energy was gone, the Ying-Yang began to floating in the air and spin around. The energy then expanded creating a tear in the air.

The tear opened with light and energy bursting out and hitting the three like a freight train. "Mom just doesn't know the meaning of the word subtle does she?" He asked, rhetorically.

Out of the tear came two people, a man and a woman. Both looked to be in their early thirties.

The woman had blood red hair, tied in a high ponytail that reached to her mid-back with two bangs framing her face that went down to her shoulders, she had a black clip in her hair parting it to left. Her eyes were violet which added to her fair skinned beauty. She wore a long sleeved, skin tight black shirt with a white sleeveless blouse over it. She wore black skin-tight trousers under a dark green skirt that cut off at her knees. She also had on tanned heeled boots, on her left wrist was a black bracelet with a sun and moon charm on it while she wore a thin gold chain with a gold ring on it. She had a smile on her face.

The man looked like an older version of Naruto. His hair was the same shade of blonde except spikier and longer with bangs that reached his jaw. His eyes were cerulean blue. He wore a black button up shirt with dark blue denim jeans and black boots. He also had on a black long coat with a red flame pattern along the bottom. He had on a white bracelet with the same sun and moon emblem as the woman, he also had on a necklace with a gold ring on it. He had a small smile on his face.

Once they stepped out the tear, it closed just leaving the necklace to fall to the ground. Seeing the two caused Naruto to smile. "Hey mom. Hey dad." He said as he walked up and hugged the woman, now known as his mom.

His mom welcomed the hug, turning it into a bug crushing one. "Ah my little Naruto." She exclaimed in joy.

Naruto's dad gave a small chuckle at seeing the relationship between his son and wife. He turned to Kakashi and shook his hand. "Good to see you Kakashi." He said.

"Back at you Minato." Kakashi replied, before glancing at the red head crushing the blonde between her breasts and Mikoto pleading with her to stop as Naruto is suffocating. "I'm guessing Kushina missed Naruto."

"Oh, yeah she did. At least once a day I got asked how I think Naruto is doing." He said with a small smile.

Minato turned to his wife and son. "Err, Kushina." He said.

Hearing her husband she turned to him. "What?"

"Our son is turning blue, you may want to let go."

Kushina quickly let go and Naruto collapsed onto the floor gasping for breath. "You know mom… I love you and all… but you have too much strength." He said between coughs.

Kushina laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head. "Come on Ruto, I haven't seen you for a month and you've been in a different dimension."

"Yeah but Mikoto and Kakashi were here and I was trained by you and dad remember." Naruto replied as he stood up.

"I know, I know but I'm your mother and that gives me a right to worry." She said as she turned and crossed her arms and pouted. "Minato, Naruto is being mean."

Minato laughed before hugging Kushina. "Come on Shina. Naruto is 17, nearly 18. He's an adult now."

"He's still my baby and will stay that way till he is at least 100."

While Minato was trying to calm Kushina down, Mikoto and Kakashi glanced back to the direction Kuoh. They then both looked at each other and nodded before turning back to the Uzumaki family. "Yo guys, we may want to go." Kakashi warned.

This caught the family's attention as they looked to the same place as Kakashi and Mikoto and noticed what they did. They felt six energy signatures coming this way.

"Feels like Devils, I'm guessing the territory leaders and their respective peerage." Minato explained.

"Leaders, as in multiple?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, we are in Kuoh which is governed by the Gremory house and the Sitri house." Kushina answered.

"Oh ok. Let's get going, split up and meet back at the house." Minato said, before getting a nodded from the four before they jumped away, Kushina and Minato going one way, Naruto ran up to where the tear was and picked up his necklace before putting it on. He and Mikoto went another way and Kakashi going on his own in a different direction.

o~0~o

After a minute, six teens landed in the now abandoned clearing, five of them were women and the last was a man.

There were two groups, four on the right and two on the left. There was a small girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair had two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She looked to be in her early teens but by the way she carried herself, seemed older.

Next to her was the only male of the six. He was handsome with short blonde hair, grey eyes and a mole under his left eye. He looked to be a bit younger than Naruto.

Infront of the guy was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure who looked to be the same age as Naruto with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair was tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

And next to her but slightly ahead was a beautiful young woman who appears to be in her late teens around the same age as Naruto with white skin,blue-green eyes and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long beautiful crimson hair that reaches down to her thighs, with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.

In the group of two was a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees with split bangs and heterochromic eyes, with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye. She also looked the be the same age as Naruto.

And finally in front of her was another young bespectacled woman in her late teens with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. She looked to be the same age as Naruto.

All seemed to be wearing a female school uniform which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks. Except for the male who seemed to be wearing the male equivalent which consisted of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.

The redhead and the short haired bespectacled girl walked forward and surveyed the area. "Are you sure the power was coming from here Sona?" The redhead asked.

"Yes Rias. Can't you feel the small residual energy around here?" The now named Sona asked.

Hearing this Rias, along with her group sensed around and felt the residual energy. "What is this energy?" The dark haired woman asked.

"I dunno Akeno. It's new to me too." Rias replied.

"It's not Devil, Angel or Fallen. Maybe some species of Youkai?" Sona asked.

Rias adopted a thinking pose. "Hm, maybe. Why don't we collect it and ask my brother or your sister?"

Hearing the word 'sister' caused Sona to shudder. "Good idea but maybe ask your brother."

This caused Akeno to place her hand over her mouth and giggle. "Ara, ara. Really Sona, she isn't that bad."

Sona glared as the taller dark haired girl. "You have no idea about how bad she is Akeno. Now can we do this and drop the subject please."

"I agree, the residual energy is fading." The second bespectacled woman commented.

Everyone picked up on this. "Thank you Tsubaki." Sona said.

Both Rias and Sona raised their arms in front of them making magic circles appear, Rias' being red with the Gremory crest in the centre and Sona's being purple with the Sitri crest in the centre. The residual energy began to get sucked into the magic circle and were encased in a sphere of magic. After a few seconds all the energy was gone and they each held a baseball sized sphere of magic, housing the energy.

Sona walked up to Rias and handed her the ball of energy. "Here have your brother look at this energy and get back to me."

Rias adopted a look of concern. "Are you sure Sona? Your sister may know what species has this energy so why don't you just ask her."

"Rias, I came you Kuoh to get away from her and live my own life. So yes I'm sure I don't want to see her. While you get the energy looked at my peerage and I are going to keep an eye out for anything strange around town." Sona said as she turned from Rias and walked towards Tsubaki.

"Ara, ara. Sona you do remember that we are in Kuoh, a place lived in by Devils. This whole place in strange." Akeno commented.

"Fine then, we'll keep an eye out for anything stranger than usual in town." Sona said with a small smile before a magic circle appeared under her and Tsubaki before rising and causing them to disappear.

Once the two were gone the young man turned to Rias. "So president, what's the plan?" He asked.

"We go home and sleep for tonight, Kiba. I'll get in contact with my brother in the morning to see when he can come." Rias replied.

"President, there's something else." The young girl said, in a emotionless tone.

"Yes, Koneko?"

"I can sense Senjutsu in this clearing, but it's different."

This shocked the three. "That further backs the theory it was a Youkai, they are the only species that can use Senjutsu. But what do you mean different, Koneko?" Akeno asked.

"I can't explain properly, it just feels peaceful and clean."

"Well we can't do anything about it until I talk to my brother. Now let's get home." Rias said, getting a nod from her peerage, they disappeared like Sona and Tsubaki.

o~0~o

In the air far above the clearing a shadowy figure floated who was clearly female. "This feeling, where have I felt it before? I'll have to keep my eye out." The figure said to herself in a two-tone voice, sounding both like a man and a woman, before flying off to the direction of Kuoh.

o~0~o

Naruto and Mikoto landed in a street of Kuoh. "I think we're at a safe distance now." Naruto said.

"Maybe Naruto, but I thought Minato said to meet back at the house?" Mikoto asked as she looked around.

"Hey it's our first night in a new town, so I want to take my girlfriend on a date." Naruto said as he put his arm around Mikoto's waist.

This cause Mikoto to blush and giggle. "You really know how to treat a girl. If I'm not careful some girl might steal you away from me." She said as she leaned into Naruto and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Oh you know I have enough love to go around. But enough about other girls, tonight is just about me and you. So let's go." He said as he kissed the top of her head and started walking.

They walked for a few minutes before they stopped in front of a restaurant, Mikoto looked at the name and let out a small laugh. "Of course you'd pick a place called 'The Four Season Ramen'. You may have take mainly after your dad but every now and again your mom's side pops up."

"What can I say, I got the best of both worlds." he replied, with a small laugh, as the two walked in.

The inside of the restaurant was simple but nice. I had simple beige wallpaper and a few tables and chairs with a bar and a few stools. Behind the bar was a man, who looked to be in his 60s. He had on a white chef outfit and hat.

Naruto and Mikoto walked up to the bar and sat on two of the stools.

The man looked at the two. "Good evening, I'm Mao. What can I get for you?" The man asked.

"Hey, I'm Naruto and this is Mikoto. Can I get two bowls of Miso Ramen?" Naruto asked.

"Ok." Mao said, as he wrote down Naruto's order and turned to Mikoto. "And for you?"

"Can I get a bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen?" She asked.

"No problem." he said as he wrote down her order as well. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Mao then went to the kitchen to prepare the order. When he was sure Mao was out of earshot Naruto turned to Mikoto. "So are you sure no one can sense your power or the other's power?" he asked.

"Yeah, as long as we don't use the armour we have no presence unless we want to." Mikoto said.

"Hm, lucky. I have to use this." Naruto said as he summoned Carnwennan.

"That's because you're one of a kind Naruto." Mikoto said with a kiss on the cheek before looking at the dagger.

"Can I have a look?" She asked.

"Sure." Naruto said as he passed Carnwennan to Mikoto.

Mikoto observed the dagger and its sheath, she was truly amazed to the level of detail in the engravings and she could feel the power running through it along with Naruto's power woven into it. "So this is the legendary Carnwennan, partner to Excalibur." She said.

"Yep."

"What powers does it have? No recording of it's power had been documented besides the power to make the person it has bonded to hide their power from anyone."

"I dunno all of them but I know it has the ability to create beings made of shadow called Umbra. They can shapeshift into people and once they disappear, give me the memories of their exploits."

"How do you know that?"

"Dunno how but when The Lady of the Lake gave me permission to bond with it, I just gained that knowledge."

"Hmm, interesting."

Mikoto passed Carnwennan back to Naruto who absorbed it back into his body just in time for Mao to return with their order.

"Two Miso Ramen for sir and a Tonkotsu Ramen for miss." He said as he placed the bowls in front of their respective eater.

Naruto and Mikoto picked up the chopsticks, breaking them apart.

"Itadakimasu!" They both shouted before digging in.

o~0~o

Two hours later, 15 bowls of Miso Ramen and two bowls Tonkotsu Ramen. Naruto and Mikoto were walking out of 'The Four Season Ramen' after paying for their meal and leaving a quite generous tip to a happy Mao.

The couple walked for 15 minutes before ending up at a small park. They walked in and laid on the grass, looking up at the stars.

"Look it's Gemini." Naruto said as he pointed up at the Gemini constellation.

"They are beautiful, like fireflies dancing on a black background." Mikoto sighed as she rest on Naruto.

"So what are your plans while we're here?"

"I plan on going to college."

"Oh really what you planning on studying?"

"Historical Literature."

"So things like the plays by that Shakespeare guy."

"Yes Naruto, I'll be studying 'plays like that Shakespeare guy'. What about you?"

"I plan on going to school. Been too busy to go so might as well see what all the fuss it about."

"Well this has been a great night but I think we should get back before Kushina tears through this town to find you."

This caused Naruto to laugh. "I suppose you're right."

Both Naruto and Mikoto stood up and the black and white tendrils came out the ground and encompassed them before sinking into the ground again leaving no one in the field.

o~0~o

Naruto and Mikoto appeared out the tendrils in the living room of their house. As soon as they appeared they felt Kushina's power and slowly turned seeing white flames coming from her and licking at the air around her.

"And where have you two been?" She said in a scarily sweet voice.

"M-mom, we just went out on a date." Naruto said, scared out of mind.

This calmed Kushina down, "Ok, as long as I get grandkids soon." She said as she turned and walk upstairs.

Naruto turned to his dad. "She is scary as hell you know that, right?" He said.

"Son, I know that all too well. I've loved her for hundreds of years and I'm just as powerful as her but she still scares the shit out of me." Minato said, with a slight sweat.

"By the way dad, Mikoto and I were talking and we decided that I want to go to school and she to college."

"Ok, give me a week to sort out our IDs and it'll look less suspicious to the Devils if a new boy joins a high school a day after an incident."

Naruto smiled, "Thanks dad. Me and Mikoto are going to bed, good night. Also dad, how's Hinata doing?"

"She's doing fine, just missing you. She can't wait till next month to be with you again and night son."

"Thanks dad, that's a load of my mind."

Naruto and Mikoto went to their bed and went to sleep with Naruto sleeping in just pajama bottoms while Mikoto was nude and hugging his left arm and resting her head in the crook of his neck.

"Good night Naru." Mikoto said, sleeply.

"Good night Miki." Naruto replied as they both fell asleep.

o~0~o

Naruto stood at the gates of Kuoh Academy, the building was impressive, he was wearing the same uniform Kiba was wearing except he didn't have on the blazer and had the shirt open showing the dark orange muscle shirt he was wearing under it.

"You do know the Devils from last week are here?" The male voice in his head asked.

"Well, well look who's up." Naruto thought.

"Oh sarcastic as ever, just be careful. Ok."

"I will, Kurama."

End of Chapter 1
