-A Pledge to my King-

Chapter 3: The Ropes

Since time immemorial death has always been a part of a Shinobi's life.

That much was an undeniable truth.

Being a shinobi himself Naruto Uzumaki has seen and caused many deaths over the course of his twelve years of life in the land of the elements. At a tender age of five Naruto already experienced the violent blood shed of the shinobi world when he bore witness to several Anbu committing the act of murder upon several chuunin that tried to kill his younger self.

Seven years after that he committed his first kill- albeit unintentionally, in the form of him pummeling Mizuki to death with hundreds of clones. From there on Naruto witnessed several other deaths, sometimes they were insignificant and the deaths barely affected him like the times his old team exterminated bandits or the deaths of the enemy nins he saw during the invasion of Konoha. Though there were also times that he witnessed deaths which molded him into becoming who he was today. For example it was because of the death of both Haku and Zabuza that he was able to form his own nindo-to never go back on his words and to never give up.

Yes, for better or worse death was definitely a part of a Shinobi's life.

In the end, one Naruto Uzumaki Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and former shinobi of Konoha should have already been well versed and used to the subject of death. Unfortunately for all its worth, his skills, abilities, and built up experience were all concentrated on the sole idea of ending lives rather that the art of healing and prolonging life.

His inability to heal others brings us to the situation at hand.

It was still in the middle of the night, the moon was shining dimly in between the cracks among the vast expanse of the dark clouds in the sky. What little of the moonlight that seeped through the clouds emanated in a small park, basking in all its dim glory a simple scene where in two teens were present.

The first was the shinobi turned devil Naruto Uzumaki and the second was none other than the dying pervert Issei Hyodou.

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit what do I do what do I do dattebayo?" Naruto stammered out. To say Naruto was panicking was a gross understatement as the shinobi ran around in circles creating a trail of dust along with slight cracks upon the earth as he ran in circles around the still bleeding body of Issei Hyoudou.

"Should I leave?" Naruto quickly shook his head before shooting down his own idea. "No I can't leave him alone here." He clicked his tongue. "How the hell could I know that he was really going to get stabbed in the stomach? Shit I can't help but think this is somehow my fault." Nah it couldn't be, that would be just too convenient. Yeah it's not like an interdimensional god finds pleasure in putting his life through insane levels of hell.

"Ughk… hel… help." Issei managed to mutter out in between his pained coughs that drew blood.

He stopped walking and quickly knelt beside the injured pervert. "Oi good you're alive! Thank God! Phew you're alive!" Before he could even realize what he just said yet again an extremely intense shock of divine power course through his body bringing forth an unimaginable pain that would have made many of his kin pass out. "Ouch! God damn it this isn't the time to be shocking me asshole!" He roared out to the heavens who responded by shocking him one more to a point that he was comically covered in sooth. "Ughuck" This was the first time an actual lightning bolt descended from the heavens and pelted him. "Fuck me…" The shinobi cursed as he looked up towards the sky once more and waved his fists in a rather threatening manner. "I'm going to kick your ass one day for always shocking me dattebayo!"

"Ugghhkk"

Naruto's eyes widened when it soon dawned upon him that he had more important matters to attend to. "Oh yeah! The pervert" Naruto's eyes landed on the red spear of light that impaled the brown-haired boy. "Should I pull it out?" He thought before quickly dismissing the idea. "No… it might make him bleed out faster…"

Naruto scratched the back of his head in frustration as idea after idea popped inside his mind. "Should I infuse him with some of Kurama's chakra? No that's just stupid since a Bijuu's chakra is corrosive and poisonous to others and by all means shouldn't be transferred to another person. Hell it disintegrates my skin when I go over my limit." He shook his head as he threw that plan out of the window. "I mean what kind of idiot would do an ass pull like that dattebayo?"

It was in the midst of his panicking did the blond suddenly tense up as he felt something emanating from the dying teen. He sensed it, a foreign power on par or even greater than that of his tenant seeping out of the teen's body.

"What the hell." Naruto muttered out as he closed his eyes and placed his left hand on Issei's body while trying to focus on the source of energy. He was by no means a sensor but his ability to sense energy and life forces greatly improved when he became a devil. Not even a second after closing his eyes Naruto felt as if a great being was watching him, staring at his very existence, this foreign energy it felt vaguely familiar, it was as if he felt something similar to this once in the past. "What is this, it's so powerful…" He whispered as he opened his eyes, looking closely to the bleeding teen Naruto smiled fondly as he managed to finally calm himself down. "So you have something ridiculously strong inside you too huh?"

He only got an incomprehensible gurgle as a response from the dying teen.

"But still it doesn't look like this power is healing you like the Fuzzy butt does to me so that means you're pretty much fucked if I don't find a way to heal you. Add to the fact that I don't know shit about healing jutsu and I don't have my phone with me so calling the ambulance is out of the question. I also don't have anything that can be used for first aid so you're really fucked."

Furrowing his brows the shinobi looked around trying to find something he could use to help the dying teen. In all intents and purposes he should have just left and allowed the teen die but that just wasn't like him. He'd rue the day that he will allow himself to turn an eye from someone who needed help.

Eventually after looking around Naruto's blue eyes widened as he gazed upon a familiar piece of paper sticking out of Issei's pocket. "Wait that's…" He said as a grin quickly formed on his face. "Looks like it's your lucky day." He looked directly at the dying teen's half lidded eyes. "Oi tell me do you want to live?"

The badly wounded teen nodded weakly, his vision already wavering causing him to see nothing but the dazzling sight of spikey golden blond hair.

"Good, she's been looking for a pawn for a while and I think she'll be satisfied in having you." Naruto said as he placed the contract in the hands of Issei. "Now think about it. One greedy wish before you die. One wish with enough greed to reach her ears."

Barely understanding Naruto's word Issei began muttering out a barely comprehensible string of words. "I *gurgle* wish…"

"Yes"

"I wish… *gurgle* for"

"Go on."

"I WISH FOR OPPAI!" Issei shouted proudly with all his remaining strength before he descended in a chorus of bloodied coughing.

As if responding to his will the contract glowed a mystic hue of red. A large magical circle bearing the crest of the House of Gremory appeared out of nowhere while expelling an almost blinding amount of light that illuminated the night sky. In a span of seconds the great light faded away revealing the form of one Rias Gremory standing ever beautifully amidst the park.

"Someone with enough greed to summon me…" She whispered with a hint of amusement as her eyes landed upon the two others in the park. "Oh? What are you doing here Naruto-kun?" She asked, surprised to see her shinobi in all his deadpanned looking glory here of all places, then again he always did manage to get himself into some sort of trouble so she wasn't that surprised. "So what kind of trouble did you get into this time?" She couldn't help but asking.

The shinobi didn't respond, as his mind was wrecked at the sheer audacity of Issei's dying wish.

"Naruto-kun?"

The whiskered blond blinked as Rias' hand waved in front of his eyes snapping him out of his thoughts. "Huh ah well we can talk about that later for now I'm trying to save this guy's life." Naruto answered, a slight dead panned expression on his face as Issei's wish repeatedly echoed in his head. The damn guy was as or even more perverted than Ero-Senin.

"Can you tell me what happened to him?"

"He was most likely attacked by a Fallen Angel, stabbed him through the gut with one of their dildos of light dattebayo."

"You mean light spears right?"

"That's what I said."

Rias rolled her eyes, her shinobi really could be crude at times. "So why do you want to save his life?" She asked as she looked at the still dying Issei, observing the large gaping and most likely fatal wound over the teen's stomach.

"Why not?" he replied.

"I've already told you before that I can't just reincarnate every dying people I meet. There are limits to what I can do you remember right? At most I can reincarnate sixteen people into devils so they could join my peerage."

"Then you could probably spare a pawn for Issei right?"

"You're not going to back out on this one are you?"

"Nope."

She closed her eyes and let out a defeated sigh, sometimes being stubborn had its downside. "So you want me to revive him as my pawn?"

"Yep and he doesn't seem to be that useless"

Rias' eyes quickly opened as her eyes met that of her shinobi's. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"Try going near him, you'll sense what I'm talking about."

Doing as she was told the current heir to the Gremory Family took a few steps towards the brunette teen's body. Her eyes widened in shock. Like her shinobi the devil quickly realized that there was a huge amount of power emanating from deep within the dying human. "This is…."

"Probably one of the sacred gear things you always talk about."

"Sacred Gear, Artifacts of the original Biblical God bestowed upon humans as part of his miracles on Earth. An irregular power that is bestowed to certain humans, most of them becoming people whose names are recorded in history and shall forever be remembered as men among men." She smiled as turned towards her shinobi. "You did well on finding him Naruto. I'll turn him into a devil." She said feeling proud of her loyal shinobi.

"Good we get a new friend with a sacred gear and the only thing he wants in return is to some oppai."

Rias sweat dropped and turned towards her fiend. He wasn't serious right? Still she decided to ask. "Oppai?"

"He wants some big juicy oppai."

Her eyes narrowed at her shinobi. She knew that the blond could be rather mischievous at time and would often go to pranking sprees where no one was safe not even her Great Maou of an Onii-sama was spared from the blond's wrath. "You're serious aren't you?" She asked as she tried to figure out if her shinobi was just messing with her.

"Yep." Naruto quickly replied truthfully.

"So he's a…"

"A huge Pervert yeah."

"…"

"…"

"I guess… I'll go revive him then."

"You do that."

Rias sighed as she walked towards Issei. "If you are dying, then I'll pick it up. Your life that is. From, now you will live for me."

"As a part of her peerage." Naruto added keeping his arms crossed as he watched Rias perform the reincarnation ceremony underneath the moonlight sky. She started out placing one crimson pawn piece on Issei's chest before steadily increasing the numbers until she stopped at eight to meet the requirements necessary for the brown-haired teen's revival.

Naruto smiled as a crimson demonic-power surrounded Rias' body. "Beautiful…" He whispered mostly to himself as he couldn't help but be in awe at the wonderful contrast created by the pale moonlight and the crimson demonic energy which made his King look even more beautiful.

"I order, in my name Rias Gremory. You, Issei Hyodou. I, resurrect you back to this soil as my servant, and have you reborn as a Devil. You, my new Pawn, be delighted with your new life!" The crimson chess piece glowed before sinking inside Ise's body completing the ritual.

Rias' stopped channeling demonic her power before turning towards the grinning shinobi. "Looks like one pawn wasn't enough."

"Then I guess he really must be packing something strong inside him maybe a really special and badass Sacred Gear!"

A small smile tugged the side of her lips secretly delighted that her shinobi hasn't changed that much throughout the years they've known together. "It is possible." She started before her eyes trailed towards the unconscious Issei. "Naruto-kun can you do me a favour?"

"No need to ask, I'll take him home."

"Do you know where he lives?"

Naruto shrugged. "No clue. I'll look at his wallet or something."

"Thank you."

He sent a hearty smile at Rias. "Anything for you my King."

Most of the conversation was lost to the still bleeding barely conscious Issei Hyodou. He didn't even feel it when the blond shinobi lifted him from the ground and placed him over his shoulder. Although the last thing Issei saw before darkness overwhelmed his senses was the brilliant colour of crimson much like his blood, along with the dazzling sight of gold that stood out despite the darkness. Yes, the two colours which belonged to those who saved his life.

The two devils who he shall forever be grateful to.

-A Pledge to my King-

A day after the incident with Issei the members of the Occult Research Club minus Kiba and Koneko were sitting in the club room. Silence reigned upon the room as Rias found herself in a mental struggle of which piece to move next in her game of chest against a rather bored looking Naruto. Standing beside the two players was a rather entertained Akeno who was serving fresh tea to the two combatants.

Noticing that her tea has been refilled the crimson haired princess gracefully took the cup before taking a sip of the special blended tea from the house of Sitri. After drinking a bit of her tea Rias placed her cup down and moved one of her knights to take out one of the blond's pawns. "There…" She said with a hint of exhaustion. "It's your turn Naruto-kun"

As if snapping out of a day-dream about Ramen the blond suddenly stiffened on his seat. "Ah, yeah I guess it is. Sorry about that I was just thinking of something." Naruto replied as he scratched the back of his head and took a quick look in the chess board. In all honesty he wasn't really good in this game as he just moved the pieces the way he felt was best. Unfortunately or fortunately two devils found it entertaining to play against Naruto because his play style which often ranged from simplistic to borderline insane and unpredictable forced them to their limits and made them think with more flexibility.

Naruto's hand moved around the game board, his digits trailing along his remaining pieces. "What should I move?" He mumbled out before deciding to take out one of Rias's bishop with his last remaining knight which further pushed a great amount of pressure to Rias.

"Fu fu fu I don't know if you're a genius or just plain stupid Ero-Kitsune." Akeno said clearly impressed with the blond's move.

"He's a closet genius I just know it." Rias whispered as she took out the offending knight with a nearby rook.

"I'd rather be an idiot." Naruto didn't really pay attention this time as he used one of his pawns to take out one of Rias's pawns.

"Oh why is that?" Akeno asked while Rias used her Bishop to take out one of Naruto's Rooks.

"Being a genius is over rated." Naruto answered while he placed his hand on his only remaining Rook and used it to capture Rias's last bishop. "Even an idiot can defeat prodigies and genius if they put their all to it."

Rias smiled before quickly responding by using her Queen to take one of the blond's bishop effectively winning her the game. "Check mate."

Naruto chuckled upon the announcement of his defeat. "Well I guess I didn't put my all to it today."

"Fu fu fu I guess you really are an idiot Ero-Kitsune" Akeno teased to which the blond replied by snickering at her jab. "I guess I am."

"It was a good game. You're still as unpredictable as ever forcing me to abandon and review my plans several time. Why are you so good at this?"" She complained as she cupped her chin and began thinking about the previous game.

"I'm not good, I just move the pieces how I feel like it. Sometimes I get lucky and win and the other times a bomb the game like this time. I swear to God I only win because you and Sona-chan always think too hard." He mumbled out as again he was shocked by god's wrath.

"Hmm… perhaps but I want you to know that this is training for both of us as it helps me become more flexible in forming my strategies and it also help you concentrate and think more strategically." She mumbled out as she rearranged her chess pieces putting them back to their proper places. "So do you want to play another round?"

"Sorry but we've played like five games already, I need to go work soon or Yusuke-jiji would try to kick my ass again."

"Fu fu fu it's because you steal Ramen from the restaurant."

Naruto's eyes widened in shock. "Where did you hear about that?"

"Ara ara were you embarrassed that your boss kicked your butt or rather blasted your butt fu fu fu."

"It was Kiba wasn't it? It was definitely him. He was the only one who knew about that since we were both working that day!" The blond comically shook his fist in the air. "Damn you Kiba! Why did you betray me!?" Elsewhere at the same time Kiba who was training with Koneko sneezed.

"Because you cleaned out his wallet to the point that he was close to filing bankruptcy?" Rias pointed out.

"Oh come on it was just a few bowls of Ramen!"

The two sweat dropped at the shinobi's concept of a few bowls.

"Ero-kitsune you do know that you ate 150 bowls of Ramen right?"

"Huh really?" His eyes turned to Rias as if asking for confirmation.

"Sadly that is true."

"I thought I ate like 15."

"Ero-Kitsune really is a Ramen Black hole"

"Yes, he manages to somehow not gain a single ounce of weight. A disturbing singularity that should be studied for the sake of women, devils, and humanity."

"Mou I don't gain weight because I train, I'm awesome, and I'm badass dattebayo!" He chuckled for a few seconds, as his laughter eventually faded away the teen's eyes landed on Rias. The mood was already light it was probably the best moment to ask that's been plaguing his mind during their chess game. "So what are we going to do about him?"

"Him? Ara ara is Ero-Kitsune finally coming out of the closet."

"Don't try to act like you don't know what I'm talking about! Heck don't even joke about that! Dattebayo!" Naruto yelled as he recalled the events of several men chasing after him while proclaiming their love for him. A shiver ran down his spine. That event still haunts him in his dreams to no end.

"Fu fu fu but your so fun to tease."

Rias sighed, she hoped to avoid this conversation for now because she had a good idea why her servant was bringing this up. Seeing no point to delay any further the buxom young woman exclaimed. "Akeno you know who he's talking about. Issei Hyodou, 2nd Year Student, average grades, doesn't excel anything, an Otaku, and is also one of the infamous Perverted Trio of Kuoh Academy."

"Two Great Ladies, Two Great Gentlemen, Perverted Trio… huh now that I noticed it people in our school really loves to group people and give them titles but still Gentlemen? What the hell is up with that? There's nothing gentleman like in me."Naruto whispered hoping no one would pick up on it but unfortunately a certain queen caught wind of his complaint.

"Fu fu fu yes there is nothing gentleman like about you. I still remember when they were trying to train you in manner and etiquettes in the past. Beowulf-san had to strap you down on a chair while MacGregor-san kept shocking you with lightning until you learned your table manners." Akeno exclaimed making both her and Rias chuckle at the fond memory of a screaming Naruto.

"Ugh don't ever remind me of that. I still can't look at several sets of spoons, forks, and knifes without getting the urge to use them as weapons to kill Beo-teme dattebayo…" He growled as he recalled the hell that man put him through. He was so going to kick that man's ass sometime in the future. Internally shaking his head the blond blue-eyed teen switched his limited attention span back at the topic at hand. "But were getting off topic here Rias-chan what are we going to do about Issei then?"

"Were not going to do anything, for now Issei Hyodou shall be allowed to do as he wants."

"Are you sure it's fine to just leave him alone ignorant to the truth? Because that doesn't sit well with me."

Rias nodded rather proudly as she tucked her arms beneath her chest. "I'm allowing him to live a normal life."

Naruto shook his head. "No you're allowing him to enjoy the last days of his normal life. You told me that you used Eight Pawn Pieces for him right? That means he must have a pretty strong Sacred Gear inside him. I think that was the reason he was attacked by Fallen Angels in the first place. To try and get rid of whatever it is inside him or whatever they think he is…." He whispered the last part so silently that not even the enhanced hearing of the two other devils picked it up. The irony of this entire situation was not lost to him as Issei's situation somewhat mirrored his own.

"That surprisingly sharp for you Ero Kitsune but the question is what could have them so scared that they'd willingly infiltrate and attack a territory under the protection of two families known to be affiliated to the Four Great Satan's themselves? It's really hard to believe that whatever is inside Issei would draw that much attention."

Rias cupped her chin in thought before answering her Queen's question. "I just need to confirm it but I think he might possess a longinus."

"Ara ara one of the Thirteen Sacred Gears that can kills those who reign upon the various heavens."

"Yes and since it felt like a dragon much like Tannin-san." She said recalling the experience of having met the great dragon through her brother. "It is most likely that his sacred gear is either the Divine Dividing or the Boosted Gear. Two Longinus that are said to hold dragons within them. I'm not really sure and this is all just speculations but I will have to ask Onii-sama for more information about those two gears."

"Dragons huh…" Naruto let out an impressed whistle as he heard his King's speculation. He had already heard of Longinus from several devils in the past. Safe to say he was impressed after hearing about the sheer power and audacity these Sacred Gears could do, it actually made him a bit jealous that he doesn't have a Sacred Gear but then again who needs a sacred gear when he already had Fuzzy Butt.

"Fu fuf fu, but for a pervert to have such power? I fear what he would do with it. Who knows? He might develop and ability to strip girls via magical attack or even communicate or read women's mind through their breasts."

Naruto couldn't deny the possibly of that kind of power being used for perverted means. "Come on he's not that bad just a bit." He quickly corrected himself "Really perverted from what I've seen. Also he might be a bit spiteful since I've seen him chase after me in those mobs when he wasn't busy peeping or goofing around doing God *shock* knows what with his two friends.." The smiling face of a certain self-proclaimed super pervert flashed inside his mind causing the shinobi to smile rather fondly "Actually he reminds me of someone I knew in the past."

"From your old world?" Rias couldn't help but ask since despite the four years they've been together her shinobi was still a bit privy with information about his world.

Naruto nodded "Yeah, he resembles Ero-sennin and despite being a self-proclaimed super pervert that man was probably one of the strongest people I've met in the world. Hehehehe if he actually came to this world I'd fear for the chastity and safety of every woman in this realm."

"Oh is this ero-sennin the reason why you're a pervert Ero-kitsune?"

"Well it's really hard to avoid becoming a pervert when you're placed in my shoes." Naruto said as he looked slightly downcast.

"Oh and why is that?"

"Hmm where do I start... ah here we go the old man who always looked after me had a habit of reading this perverted orange book. My sensei, the man who thought me a few thing about being a ninja read said perverted orange book in public without a care in the world. My other sensei. or as I call him Ero-sennin was the said man who wrote those books." He sighed exasperatedly in an overtly dramatic way. "I really had no chance in avoiding the path of the pervert." He muttered out rather despairingly.

"Fu fu fu so you finally admit that you're a pervert Ero-kitsune?"

"Nope" Naruto quickly deadpanned showing no signs of his earlier troubled persona, it was as if he was faking the entire thing. "I'm not a pervert I'm just a healthy hormonal teenage male with a normal appreciation of the feminine body. Kinda like Kiba." There was reason why he had those special magazines stashed in his rooms since he had those urges to relieve every now and then.

Akeno tilted her head to the side while placing on top of her mouth covering her mischievous smile. "Fu fu fu like Kiba huh? So does that mean your ga-"

Rias quickly cut her queen off "You know we've gotten of topic here." she said trying to steer away from the overtly sensitive topic of Yuuto's sexual preference. They'll deal with that landmine when the proper time comes.

"Oh yeah." Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly "Sorry about that" He chuckled lightly "So back to Ise." He looked at the other two and got nods of confirmation telling him to continue. "I still say we should talk to him sometime today."

"Ara ara why is that?"

"Aside from the one that attacked him there were still two other Fallen Angels around the area. That and the earlier we talk to him the earlier I can show him the ropes along with the pecking order."

"The ropes?" Rias asked purposely ignoring the comment about the pecking order which the blond seemed to have created after watching some show from the internet. "You want to train him?"

"Nope I want to mess with him under the premise of training dattebayo!" It wasn't like he wanted to do this in a form of getting back at Jiraiya that would be too childish and irrational. He was already too mature for that. Though his maturity didn't stop him from thinking about looking for any deep dark ravines near the area.

Akeno smiled gently. "Well at least Ero-Kitsune is honest."

Rias on the other hand shook her head in disapproval. "If that's the reason you want him to join then I suggest we leave him alone for now and allow him more time to get used to the changes in his body as well as to allow him just a few more days of peaceful ignorance before he is thrown into our world."

"He was already thrown into our world the moment he got stabbed in the stomach." Naruto countered almost heatedly. "Are you really sure we should leave him alone? If he goes walking around at night he's probably going to get attacked again and killed. He already died once so this time he might learn that people really die when they are killed."

"I know in the end you mean well and I know that you'd try and do your best to prevent Issei from getting hurt but for now my orders stand." Her resolve almost wavered when she saw a rare frown on her shinobi's face but still she would stick with her decisions. "Naruto we will just observe him and intervene when he gets attack. I know you mean well Naruto-kun but just give him this small amount of time to live his last days of normality at peace. I'll make sure to have my familiar along with Akeno's own shadowing him so we can react accordingly if he is attacked."

Naruto let out a defeated sigh wondering if this was what Jiji had to deal with when he was born. "If you put it that way then I guess it's okay but let me throw in some Kage Bunshin in the mix."

"I already planned on asking you to do that for me since they'll prove to be more reliable than just our familiars."

"I'll send some now as we speak." Without using any hand seals two identical copies of the blond appeared behind him. They nodded at the original already knowing their orders before they vanished in a swirl of leaves.

"Naruto-kun"

"Yeah what is Rias-chan?"

"Can you please clean that up?" The crimson haired beauty pointed at the pile of leaves left by the two clones.

"Ughh stupid clones can't even use Shunshin without creating a mess." Naruto complained as he stood up from his seat before squatting down on the ground to pick up the fallen leaves.

"Ara ara why does it seem like Ero-kitsune only listens to Buchou. Fu fu fu… I can't help but feel jealous" Akeno sashayed towards Naruto, surprising the shinobi when she once again engulfed him in a rather hearty hug. "Why can't you do what I say as well?"

A shiver ran down the blond's spine. "Because what you want me to do mostly involves one of us getting hurt, whips, getting shocked, and a copious amount of leather."

Akeno smiled rather mischievously for moment before she turned towards Rias. "Fu fu fu how about we make a bet Buchou?"

Rais raised an eye brow while subtly motioning her Queen to continue. "If Ise-san gets attacked in the next three days then I'll go with a date with Ero-Kitsune, if Ise-san doesn't then you can go out on a date with him." The sadistic queen took a glance at Naruto. "That is if you're fine with it Ero-kitsune?"

Naruto looked at the two in the most deadpan look that he could muster as he picked up the leaves from the club floor. "Are you two really betting on when Ise is going to get attacked?"

"Yes."

"Ara ara why not?"

"Isn't that you know… evil?"

"We're devils." The two buxom beauties simultaneously replied.

"Oh yeah… I tend to forget that dattebayo."

"So what about the date?"

"Hmm I guess it's okay since I haven't really had the time to go out with either of you in a while." Naruto exclaimed as he busily picked up the leaves. It wasn't as if he hasn't gone out on dates with the girls in the club since they were much more willing to hang out with him than Sakura ever was and in all honesty it was fun to go out with any of them. He actually often accompanied Rias, Akeno, and Koneko to various outing often consisting of watching movies, going to amusement parks, buying a cd, shopping for shoes and clothes (horrific experience), eating in a restaurant afterwards, and then walking them home afterwards.

"Ara ara you sound excited." Akeno smiled rather mischievously as she gazed upon her king "Then do you agree Buchou?"

Rias smirked, she was really never the one to back down from a challenge much less a challenge from her sadistic Queen. "I accept."

-A Pledge to my King-

Two Days later

A class room can be considered as a source of unending knowledge in a student's early life, as it serves as a place where the basic knowledge needed to survive and function properly in the world is imparted into the students by ever diligent teachers and instructors.

To one Naruto Uzumaki his classroom could be considered a nirvana, it was a safe haven from all the life and death demonic battles, hard-core nerve-wracking training, obsessive fan girls (most of his classmates were male and were indifferent towards him), and even his mean boss who can kick his ass given the proper opportunity. But most importantly aside from the school's rooftop and the old school building, his class room was the best place in the entire school to take a relaxing nap.

Ah the joys of a good nap during a boring lessons about Chemicals, Numbers, History, and so on. It was definitely one of his guilty pleasures in life.

After leaving work the previous day the blond shinobi spent the entire night he training. In a whim the Naruto snuck off towards the nearby mountain side and climbed in entirely of the mountain with one hand before climbing back down with one hand as well, without using chakra.

Safe to say he was utterly exhausted from his work out that he even considered skipping school but he knew that sleeping in wasn't really an option after being gone for school for a whole month under the excuse of 'I had a really bad stomach ache.' Yeah the human teachers of the school really chewed him out for that one.

He thought about just sending a Kage Bunshin to school but quickly abandoned the idea because of the rebellious natures of his clones -which he theorized was a side effect of his devilization, along with the fact that Rias banned him from using chakra on school ground unless it was necessary due to his penchant hobby for pranking.

Because he was tired as hell the blond shinobi wanted nothing more than go to his class room, sit his ass down his desk, take out a text-book and cover his face with it then sleep through the day like he usually does when he was exhausted.

That is if he could reach his class room.

Naruto was running from a crowd within the hallways of Kuoh Academy. This time rather than a flock of his fan girls the blond shinobi found a crowd of men, very happy men who found his whisker marks adorable were chasing after him. Oh and they happened to be members from the body building club so they were all built like bricks. Normally he would just beat the crap out of them and that's that but he was just so tired that the thought didn't cross his mind.

Running around a corner the shinobi randomly picked one of the nearby rooms. Not even bothering to check if what room it was or if there was anyone inside Naruto made a beeline for said room. He entered the room with inhuman speed before closing the door just in time as the fastest of his admirers passed the hallways.

Naruto held his breath as he heard several footsteps passing by the door, he could feel a cold sweat drop from his forehead as the tension kept rising to unbearable levels. Fortunately for the shinobi none of his fanboys entered the room. The tension started fading away making shinobi sigh in relief.

"I'm never going overboard with my training again dattebayo."

"What have I told you about running in the hallways and breaking into other rooms Uzumaki-san?" A rather stern voice came from behind Naruto. The shinobi jumped in shock and quickly turned around while instinctually drawing a kunai and pointing it towards the source of the voice whose presence he failed to notice.

"And what have I told you about bringing weapons to school?" The stern voice added.

Naruto hid the kunai behind his back as he smiled wryly towards the one and only beautiful and bespectacled student Council President of Kuoh Academy/Devil Sona Sitri or Shitori as the muggles call her around school."To not bring them at school?" He tried laughing the whole situation off but the strict gaze of the devil forced him to stop.

There was a short moment of silence between the two as the black haired devil kept her violet eyes on the blond as if studying him yet again.

"Ummm Ohayo Sona-chan." Naruto greeted hoping it would break the eerie silence.

Thankfully it worked. "Ohayo Uzumaki-san." Sona greeted back accompanied with a slight bow of her head.

"Mah mah I already told to just call me Naruto." Naruto grinned rather happily as he walked towards his friend or as she persist 'acquaintance' who he met through Rias. Apparently Sona was Rias' rival which strangely enough reminded Naruto of his own relationship with Sasuke only less volatile and less electricity encased fist getting shoved through their chest. "So how are you doing Sona-chan? I haven't talked to you in a while." He said only noticing that the two of them were in one of the barely used computer labs on campus.

Sona who was sitting in front of a computer started typing. "There is no problem with the fact that we haven't talked since I know you were training for your promotion exam. Although I am sorry to hear that you failed to pass your promotion due to some rather unfortunate events." She said multi-tasking between whatever it was she was doing in the computer and her conversation with the shinobi.

"That's all in the past." Naruto easily waved it off as he walked towards the devil.

"But really to abandon your promotion due to a promise you made on the spot?"

"That's who I am. Don't worry though I'll get that promotion as soon as I kick Sairaorg's ass."

She looked at him rather skeptically. "You do know he's a Great King right?"

"I know but don't care." He easily replied without a care in a world.

"Insufferable as always." Sona said with a hint of amusement in her voice. "As for how I am doing. I'm doing quite fine, I'm working on several on goings around campus while allocating the budget needed for the various repairs that the school need." She smiled proudly. "Since someone needs to keep this school together and prevent it from collapsing either due to devil attacks, human riots, or your troublesome pranks."

"Hey I already said I was sorry for that."

Sona pushed her glasses up with one hand while she continued typing with the other. "A simple sorry wouldn't suffice. The stink bomb you managed to detonate rendered an entire wing of the school building unusable for a month."

"Are you still mad about that?"

"Mad no. Livid a bit. Spiteful yes. Vengeful most likely." She replied without hesitation making the blond flinch.

"Hehehe you should really learn to relax every now and then I mean don't get you're panties all in a bunch, it was just a harmless joke." He said ignoring the hateful glare she was sending him. "Hey you know we should hang out sometime. You know like those times we hand out when we were a bit younger."

The sudden invitation manage to break the Sitri's concentration momentarily forgetting all her hatred towards the troublesome blond as she processed the teen's words inside her head which basically surmised to him asking her out on a date. Hell she even stopped typing. In all honesty she didn't really hate the teen, well she hated cleaning up after his pranks but aside from that the two of them got along pretty well. She also enjoyed it when the blond made her rival snap once or twice in the past which she still considered some of the best moments of her life.

Trying to act as calm and composed as possible she pushed her glasses up the ridge of her nose once more. "Sorry but I'm too busy with student council work along with training my peerage." She said coolly.

"Ah then never mind I wouldn't want to get in between your work and training."

"Hmmm but you should come to the student council room so we should play chess sometime soon."

"Huh? That game with all those weird pieces? Blergh I hate that game it's boring."

"I'm sorry to hear that it bores you, perhaps it's because I'm the one you're playing with?"

"No it's not that, it's just that I get too bored in playing that game."

"Winning does get boring doesn't it Uzumaki-san? You did manage to beat me no less than five over the last nine times we've played."

"I got lucky." The shinobi scratched the back of his spiky blond hair. "I don't really know what the big deal is though. I just moved the pieces randomly and ended up winning a few times."

A rare smile made its way on Sona's face. "You really are like Onee-chan." She said recalling the fond memory of her sister giving her the same reason on how she won in their games of chess.

"I don't know if I should be insulted by that since I have no idea who your sister is."

"Oh? Haven't you already met Onee-chan in the past?"

"Really?"

"Yes, she was there in your promotion test."

"Hmm…." The blond cupped his chin as he slowly descended into deep thought it took a few seconds of going through his memories until he recalled a certain devil who acted like she was a magical girl, a childish and carefree girl who was the total opposite of the normally strict student council president who he befriended and even had ice cream with. It couldn't be right?

"Umm Sona-chan, you can't mean that Sera-tan is your sister?"

Tickmark on her head "Sera-tan? Onee-chan told you to call her Sera-tan?"

He nodded in response as he remembered the rather carefree girl who had rather large breasts despite having a small body. The very same girl who was wearing a magical girl outfit and acted rather strangely. "Yeah, she told me to call her that. But really? You two are siblings? Huh wouldn't have made that connection even if took me a hundred years." He admitted.

"And why is that?"

"You're personalities are too different."

"When she is your older sister someone needs to be strict in the family." Her eyes focused on his whole body. "Is being too strict like I am not to your liking Uzumaki-san?"

"Nah, your pretty good by my books" Naruto gave the girl a friendly pat on her shoulder. "Just learn to lighten up a bit okay?"

Sona closed her eyes. "I'll think about it."

"Don't think do." Naruto said as the sounds of the school bell echoed in the room alerting the two that they only had a few minutes left before classes started.

"Ah that's my cue to leave. I'll see you later Sona-chan." Naruto turned away from the girl as he stared walking towards the door.

She opened her eyes just in time to see the shinobi nearing the door. "I'll see you later Uzumaki… I mean Naruto-san."

"See it wasn't hard to call me Naruto right?" Naruto snickered as he waved his hand at her before exiting the room not knowing that Sona's eyes followed his retreating figure.

"Rias always gets the good ones." Sona whispered before she resumed typing on her computer. "I wonder if she'll consider a trade…" the high-ranking devil muttered as she contemplated on the idea of trading her newly acquired pawn for the blond.

-A Pledge to my King-

After failing to make his daily dose of classroom naps due to the constant badgering of a rather out of the earth newly hired teacher of Kuoh the blond shinobi decided to say "Fuck it" with his afternoon classes and opted to skip out on the lessons. The Jinchuuriki knew Rias-chan might get mad at him for skipping yet again but the blond subconsciously thought about just dealing with it later as he got some well needed shut eye. Being the stealthy badass ninja that he was Naruto managed to sneak out of his math class-in the middle of class no less, before scurrying his undetected towards the soft luscious couches of the research lab where he laid to rest.

Most of the time no one dared to disturb the blonde during his slumber. That was mainly because of the teen's habit of apparently getting clingy when people tried to wake him up. There was actually an incident in the past that resulted in Kiba being unable to look at the blond for a good month or two without blushing like a girl after he tried waking Naruto up. Safe to say it was one of the most awkward events in the Occult Research Club.

Rias of course was well aware of the repercussions that came with waking up her shinobi but she still brought it upon herself to try to wake the sleeping blond. Having known the whiskered devil for over four years she knew the best way to wake him up was to either tap him in the shoulder or blow him up with one of her magical blasts. Seeing as she didn't want any harm to befall her shinobi the princess went with the most viable option.

She tapped his shoulder.

He didn't wake up.

She tapped his shoulder once more.

He started moving and grumbling.

She tapped again.

He slightly opened his eyes.

She smiled proudly at her achievement, it wasn't often that people were able to awaken the blond without getting grabbed and grappled. Unfortunately (or fortunately) she was caught off guard when the still half asleep blond's arms blurred from existence leaving her unable to swiftly react until it was too late. Before she even noticed it she was lying on top of her shinobi, her head resting against his chest while his arms wrapped tightly around her back and waist. Obviously the shinobi was still sleeping soundly completely ignorant of what he has done while his King was blushing madly upon the close contact between the two.

That happened a good thirty minutes ago.

For the first the few minutes or so the princess was left a blushing heaping mess as she felt the teen's firm muscles press against her back while his strong arms wrapped around her providing her not only warmth but a sense of closeness and safety. Now if it was anyone else then the crimson haired princess would be okay with this kind of skinship since it didn't really mean much to her but since it was her crush and fateful friend she couldn't help but feel a little hot under the collar.

Eventually the princess managed to calm herself down as her eyes trailed upon Naruto's body. Gone was the scrawny little kid that she met for years ago, his body now muscular and firm having been literally molded and built upon the flaming blazes of hell.

Her gaze then shifted towards his face, although asleep it was still the same face she saw that day. The same face of the lonely boy who committed himself into becoming her trust worthy servant in accordance to the agreement they made. The very same boy who hid his loneliness under the mask of an ever cheerful persona that eventually grew into a fine man while standing by her side.

What a kind, cheerful, gentle, strong, and enduring man albeit sometimes brash and airheaded, who was worthy of his place in her peerage as her Rook who protects those precious to him. He served as a strong pillar of support, one who brings it upon himself to carry not only her burdens but the burden of his friends, just like Atlas it was as if the man carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Some may say he was a self-sacrificing delusional fool who kept making promise for the sake of acknowledgment but to her the blond was a shining pillar of hope, a constant reminder of the importance of her peerage, that there is a light that a waits in the end of despair, that giving up is never an option. Before she even realized it she was already attracted to him, an attraction that developed and bloomed over the course of the four years that they've known each other.

Taking a long glance upon his face Rias was actually tempted to fall asleep while enjoying his warmth. But alas much to her own frustration she needed him to awake.

"Naruto-kun wake up…" She muttered out.

"Hehehehe let me handle it…" Mumbled Naruto as he hugged her even tighter pushing her closer to his chest and eliciting a small –epp from the crimson haired beauty. This time she could hear every single rhythmic beat of his heart which was accompanied by the essence of a strong power coming from within the blond.

She scurries out of his grasp and moves up, her face only a few inches away from his as she said. "Naruto-kun wake up…"

"Mhmm I'll eat you out hehehe…" The still sleeping shinobi started nibbling on her neck.

"Naruto-kun…" The girl forcibly held back a moan as she tapped his shoulder once more. "Wake-" Whatever she was planning to say was cut off when the blond's hands trailed up and down the length of her body. "Mhm… Zzz…Let me eat you out R…"

The princess blush came back full force could it be? Could her shinobi be having indecent thoughts about her? "Naruto-kun wake up…"

The sleeping blond continuously muttered a string of incoherent words as his hands continued it's ministrations of moving rather sensually up and down of the devil's body. "Your juices… Zzz… so good… Zzz… Mhmm R…"

"Naruto-kun?

"Zzz… I love you… R"

"Naru-kun…" She almost moaned out

"Ramen..." the blond muttered, accompanied by rather perverse giggling that would make Jiraiya proud.

Upon hearing those words all signs of arousal quickly faded away from the crimson haired princess. What was once a hot passionate heat that threatened to burn her body was now replaced by a shroud of cold indifference as she glared at her shinobi, in all intents and purposes she should have already expected something like this happening but in the end she couldn't help feeling a bit peeved that her shinobi would rather dream about Ramen than her. Though it wasn't like she was jealous or anything. Nope not at all she was not jealous about Ramen.

Not at all.

"Naruto-kun will you please wake up?!"

"Zzzzz… ugu…. Hehehe Ramen."

Several tick marks appeared on the high rank devil's head. "Option two it is…" She said rather ominously as she snaked one of her hands away from the blond's grasp immediately creating a small non-lethal crimson orb which found itself smashed against the sleeping shinobi's face.

*BOOM*

Although none lethal the blast still had enough power to blast even Rias away from her sleeping servant causing her to sail through the air, but with a slight twist of her body and with the assistance of her bat like wings she landed on the ground relatively unharmed.

Her shinobi on the other hand "GOD DAMN IT WHAT THE FUCK!" He the shinobi yelled as he rubbed his now painful and sooth filled face. If he wasn't awake by the first shot he was certainly awakened by the second burst of pain he received from muttering God's name which caused him to scream out various profanities that would have made Tayuya proud.

"Ughh… the hell hit me dattebayo." Naruto said as he looked around the room his blue eyes eventually landing on the familiar figure of his King. "Rias-chan?"

"I apologize for my rather painful method of waking you up but nothing else seemed to work."

"Ugghh the pain… body hell… pain… ugghhh… How long was I asleep?"

"Nine hours." Rias replied as she started walking towards her shinobi.

"Mhmm… so I guess it's time for work." He tried getting off the couch but found that his legs were still a bit wobbly.

Rias stopped a few steps away from her shinobi as she crossed her arms beneath her bosom. "I already called for your boss I told him that you would be a bit late for tonight."

"Oh? Did something important happen?" He coughed out a bit of sooth as he was still comically singed because of her attack.

"Akeno and I were planning on going out we'd thought that you want to come with us since you may be interested."

"Oh where are you two going?" He asked as he patted down his hair.

Akeno who was standing somewhere in the room and have witnessed everything from the hugging to the explosion came out from the shadows after she finally calmed herself down from all the hilarity that she saw. "Why do you want to come with us so you can take advantage of us Ero-Kitsune? But then again you already took advantage of Buchou" She whispered the last part mostly to herself and Rias who immediately sent a heated glare at her. Fortunately for Rias her shinobi didn't pick up on her words as he was busily rubbing sooth of his face.

"Do you really see me as some sort of depraved pervert?" He asked as he rubbed his face ever so diligently.

"Definitely." Akeno answered without any hesitations.

"Why?"

"You admitted to being one."

"Lies."

"Ara ara then how about the number of convenient accidents you've had this last four years that we've met each other, or have you forgotten how we met?"

"Like you sad those were just accidents." A slight tint of red appeared on his face for just a split second as he recalled his first meeting with the sadistic queen. "And I still remember how we met, I clearly recall slipping on a banana peel."

"Fu fu fu yes… you slipped just like you slipped the next dozen or so times right?"

Knowing that he can't win this argument the shinobi turned to Rias almost pleadingly expecting her to back him up.

Rias sighed. "Akeno stop messing with Naruto-kun."

"Ara ara Buchou is being overprotective of her shinobi again…"

"It's because you tease him a lot."

"But he's too cute when he's flustered you could even say it turns me on." The Queen started moaning rather sensually.

"Akeno!"

"Ara ara ara it's because Buchou wants to be greedy. Why don't you share neh? I saw how much you were enjoying yourself early and couldn't help but feel a little warm under the collar as well Fu fu fu."

Naruto decided to change the topic of the conversation in hopes to calm the two down before they started raining down their spells upon the club room wrecking the whole place. "Were getting off topic here again." He turned to Rias. "So where were you two going again?"

"We're going to pick up my new pawn."

"Oh going to pick up issei?"

"Fu fu fu it really takes one to know one."

"Hardly… he's a well-known pervert in the school and for the last time I'm not a pervert!"

"Denial is just the first step towards acceptance. We will be there for you when you finally come out of your constant struggle against your pervertism."

"That doesn't even make any sense! What the hell does that even mean?"

"Fu fu fu"

"Ughh…"

Naruto suddenly blinked. "Wait since were picking him up now does that mean Sado-chan won the bet?"

"Sadly yes. We have to pick up Issei earlier than anticipated since my familiar was detecting the presence of a Fallen Angel flying around the city. It will only be a matter of time that he would be attacked." Rias answered in a rather disappointed manner, she really did want that date.

The blond nodded, with a small smile on his face. "Okay I'm going along I need the work out after my nap." He then shifted his gaze towards the ever smiling lightning user. "So when would you like to go to a date?"

"Hmm let's talk about it later. For now we have to save our new Kouhai." The smile on his face quickly faded as he received several memories from his clones. "Yeah we should get going now Asap since someone managed to dispel my clones."

Rias turned towards her shinobi. "Did you see who dispelled them?"

There was a slight look of worry in the now fully awakened blond's face. "That's the problem." In his mind flashed a single memory of glistening silver which brought about his clone's death. The shocking thing about it was the fact that his clones didn't even sense the attacks coming. "I didn't."

-A Pledge to my King-

To say Issei Hyodou was scared would be to say that Naruto only liked Ramen a bit. Putting it in the simplest and crassest terms possibly Issei was scared shitless.

How could he be not?

He was getting attacked by one of those crazy chicks with wings again.

Seriously he was just walking home after a night of watching porn and playing eroge with his friends when he suddenly encountered a cute blond girl wearing a black goth loli outfit. Now normally this would have been a glorious experience for the pervert as the girl was gorgeous despite being rather underdeveloped for his tastes but to his surprise the girl felt somewhat weird. It was as if deep inside him she knew that the girl was dangerous. As if to confirm the feeling of dread within him the girl started glaring at him before she called him a devil and began attacking him with a pink spear of light.

With his fight or flight instincts running haywire the perverted teen gave in to his brains demands and went through the best course of action.

He ran away.

Predictably she chased or better yet flew after him throwing one spear after another with all intent of killing him much like his ex-girlfriend Yuuma, giving the teen the briefest feeling of Déjà vu as he ran for his life.

"What is it with girls trying to kill me?" said Issei between his laboured breaths as he found himself ironically cornered by his pursuer in the very same park where he was killed by Yuuma. Was this perhaps a karmaic retribution for all his perverseness?

Nah impossible. It's not like being a pervert has gotten him in trouble in the past.

Oh wait…

Hearing the sounds of flapping wing getting louder the pervert turned his head towards his attacker. This single act saved his life as he missed a step and tripped on the ground luckily evading a spear of light that shot through the air hitting the space where his head was mere moments ago. Unfortunately he was unable to evade the second spear thrown at him one that impaled him right at his stomach again.

Ouch.

Quickly pushing himself off the ground Ise started to frantically wave his left hand in front of him, right hand clutching his bleeding stomach while backing away from the obviously dangerous girl. "Umm… what did I ever do to you? I mean this is the first time I've met you I haven't even done anything perverted near you." He said trying to obviously take his thoughts away from the searing pain of the light spear that was burning his insides with all its holiness.

"Do you know where Dohnaseek is you stray?" The girl ask, her voice obviously laced with distain.

"Donut what? Stray?"

"Dohnaseek a Fallen Angel like me, he was fighting one of your kind in this area! I want to know what happened to him! Where is he?" She yelled as she created another spear of light and pointed its tip at Issei causing the teen to flinch in fear and wince in pain, he was losing too much blood.

"I honestly have no idea who are you talking about! I don't know who this Donatello guy is!"

"His name is Dohnaseek!" The girl shouted, finally running out of patience she tried to stab Ise in the chest to finish him off. Emphasis on try since instead of hitting the pervert her spear struck a log out of all things. "A log?" She said in surprise as she blinked a few times to ascertain that she was not crazy and that in fact she hit a log.

"You're-" Issei said in shock as the last person he expected came to his rescue.

"Just in time…" someone said gaining the attention of the fallen angel. Much to her surprise she was no longer alone with the brown-haired teen. In the middle of the park was none other than the very same blond whiskered devil who beat the crap out of Kalawarner, a crimson haired devil who was most likely from the Gremory Family, another smiling devils who exuded power slightly on par with the other two, and finally the bleeding pervert slung on the blond's shoulder.

"Uzumaki-san?" Issei spouted out in shock.

The Fallen Angel took several steps away from the group of devils while keeping her spear pointed at the blond "The guy who hurt Kalawalner-nee!"

"That would the super awesome uber special mega badass shinobi devil extraordinaire Naruto Uzumaki to you!" He proudly exclaimed as he knelt and dropped Issei on the ground entrusting the body to Rias and Akeno who immediately began trying to heal the pervert's wounds to the best of their capabilities. Naruto then extended his sense trying to feel if whoever it was who got rid of his clones was somewhere in the area but much to his frustration he came up with nothing. He clicked his tongue, whoever attacked him was either really good at hiding their presence or was nowhere in the area. He was willing to bet on the former since the man did manage to sneak up on his clones.

The under developed fallen angel ignored the long string of words that came out of the blond's mouth and instead focused on the blue-eyed shinibo's name. "Pfft fishcake?" She chuckled rather cutely. "What a threatening name."

"God damn it its Maelstrom!" Naruto shouted while ignoring god's indignation. It wasn't his fault that his badass name was synonymous to Fishcakes.

"So where is Dohnaseek?" The fallen angel asked after she finished her throes of laughter.

Naruto tilted his head to the side. "Dohna who?"

"Dohnaseek!"

The shinobi joined his hands together making an O symbol "Donut?"

"Dohnassek!"

The shinobi was covered in a puff of smoke changing his form into a well-known blue robotic cat mascot thing. "Doraemon?"

The Fallen Angel placed one hand on her blond hair and started pulling them rather harshly in frustration. "Arrrggghhhh! What is it with you devils? What the hell? There is something definitely wrong in your heads." She pointed her spear at Issei. "You when I was trying to kill you, you kept trying to steal glances of my panties." She pointed her spear at Naruto. "You! How the hell are you doing that?!"

"Doing what?" The henge'd Naruto tilted his head to the side.

Finally having enough of his bullshit, the fallen angel threw her spear at Doraemon.

"Ah!" The henge'd Naruto bopped his fist towards an open palm as he evaded the thrown spear with ease. "The battle maniac…"

"Yes! So where is-"

Naruto nodded proudly remembering the name of his attacker. "Madonna."

She created and tossed another spear at him almost instantaneously.

The blond however didn't even bother evading the spear, this time he dropped his henge and simply slapped the spear away causing it to pierce several trees instead of its intended target much to the barely conscious Issei's shock. "Ah Dohnaseek now I remember him. He went a little too battle crazy at me. Damn man came on to me like there was no tomorrow so I was forced to put old Dohnaseek down."

The Fallen Angel's eyes widened in shock. "What!?"

"Sorry if you were friends but the guy was seriously a serious asshole and I was really forced to put him down." He scratched the back of his head while he kept his eyes firmly plated on the fallen angel ready to react to any movements in a moment's notice. "I'd apologize for it but I'm not really sorry for it since he was an ass." It wasn't like he was trying to goad her into charging in but he since he was just telling the truth but then again he could always use that to his advantage.

"Grr… then I guess I have no choice." The fallen angel announced as her power started spiking out forcing a grin to appear on Naruto's face. He wasn't a battle maniac like that donut guy but he was always willing to fight if needed. Who doesn't enjoy a good fight every now and then?

"So are we going to fight?" Naruto asked as he started spiking his own power.

The fallen angel simply responded by turning around and flying full speed away from their group.

Issei looked at the retreating girl with shock filled eyes. "She's running away!?" he coughed out.

Rias palmed her face. "Naruto-kun you shouldn't have wasted time talking. I know you could have just outright disabled her."

Akeno giggled as she tried to heal Issei with a simple healing spell. "Ara ara Ero-Kitsune scared her off."

However their words fell on deaf ears. A wide eyed Naruto felt his jaw slackened as he stared at the retreating fallen angel. "What the hell?" He stomped on the ground upon realizing that his opponent decided to bail on him the last second. "I thought you were going to attack me to avenge your comrade or something not run away! Oi do you really think I'll let you escape!?" He shouted out as two wings sprouted from his back.

Knowing that this may lead to a chase that may potentially result in several property damage that she wasn't really planning on paying for the crimson haired princess of ruin cleared her throat to get the attention of her shinobi. "That's enough Naruto-kun"

"Are you sure? Because I can still catch up and capture her if I leave now."

"Our objective for this night is to make contact with Issei and preferable save him from the fallen angels. It is not in our best interest to start hunting down fallen angels and potentially start a war with Grigori."

Naruto's shoulder's sagged as his wings vanished. "So no ass kicking?" He asked.

Rias nodded "No ass kicking Naruto-kun"

"But-"

"No ass kicking."

"Oohhhhh…." The shinobi deflated, there goes his plans on working out before going to work that night. Shaking his head in disappointment the blond teen turned towards the barely conscious Ise. "Wow is getting stabbed in the stomach becoming a new trend or something? Because damn Ise this is like the second time this happened to you this week. Though it's glad to see you're alive and kicking Ero-kouhai." A light bulb then suddenly appeared over the shinobi's head, there was still something he could do to salvage what was turning out to be a bummer of a night. "Hey Issei heard that you're an Otaku." He said recalling the conversation he had with Rias a few days ago. "So I'm wondering do you have a CD of Gurren Laggan and if you do can I borrow it?" He asked making both Rias and Akeno face palm while Ise only fainted in response finally succumbing to his injuries.

"What? Was it something I said?"

-A Pledge to my King-

Issei couldn't help but keep a perverted smile on his face as he sat on the class room. As far as he was concerned despite being attacked and almost killed some goth loli chick yesterday today was already the best day of his life simply because for the first time in his entire seventeen years of existence Issei Hyoudu finally had the pleasure in seeing a real set of soft luscious and beautiful mounds called breasts.

What even made the experience better was the fact that those breasts belonged to none other than the most beautiful student in Kuoh Acadamy. The one girl who he was sure everyone even the girls in his school had the pleasure of fantasizing about, the one and only Rias Gremory.

As he sat comfortably on his chair he couldn't help but remember the peerless beauty of Rias' body along with her wonderful hair. That crimson coloured hair which shared the same tint as blood. Though as he thought about her blood coloured hair he felt that he was forgetting something. Something really important that involved a specific shade of blond. He was so caught up in his thought that he easily dismissed his two perverted friends while making careless remarks about having seen real breasts or just nodding along their conversation.

"Ano… is Issei Hyodou here?"

Turning his head to the door the perverted teen found one of the two common enemy of every male student in the academy the bishounen Yuuto Kiba standing near the door, the teen's hand waving at him.

"Ah. The handsome prince. What do you need with peons like myself?" Issei asked in a rather irate manner clearly not liking the pretty boy's presence.

Sensing the ill intent Yuuto simply smiled wryly. "It was Rias-sempai who asked me to find you."

"Ah Rias-sempai…" He looked at his two friends, the bald and bespectacled perverts the composed two thirds of the infamous perverted trio. "Sorry about this but I'll see you guys later." He waved goodbye at them as he quickly rose from his seat and followed one of the school's Two Great Gentlemen.

Eventually after a few minutes of walking in silence while trying his best to ignore the various gossips and shocked whispering that took a jab at him for being near Kiba the brown-haired devil was lead towards the old school building in the back of the school. There he was further led by Kiba to the second floor of the building eventually stopping in front of a room labelled Occult Research Club Room.

Yuuto turned towards Issei while knocking on the door. "We're here Buchou and the others are waiting in the other side." After hearing a simple come in the blond opened the door with a single tug revealing a rather occult room with several magical symbols, and black boards full of weird writing to Issei.

However as shocking and weird those magical crests were to a normal human being who was just about to be introduced to the world of the occult Issei's immediate attention was not towards them but rather his gaze was planted on a nearby couch.

Sitting on the couch was none other than the other half of the Two Great Gentleman of Kuoh Academy, Naruto Uzumaki along with the school's mascot to his surprisethe normally apathetic and cold petite girl was purring cutely as she rested her head on the blond's lap while the number one enemy of men Naruto petted her head as he read what looked like an old volume of a mecha manga.

Kiba cleared his throat getting the attention of the couch's inhabitants. "Ohayo Naruto-san Koneko-san.

Naruto gave him a nod in acknowledgement "Ohayo Kiba. Ise." He greeted the two as he finally stopped petting Koneko earning a low growl from the girl. "Mah mah Neko-chan I'll pet you again later so be nice for now okay?"

The girl glared at Issei and Kiba for a moment making the two flinch before eventually relenting to the blond's words and nodding as she pushed herself off Naruto's lap. "Mhmm…" she grumbled.

Feeling that it was a good time to strike up a conversation with the school mascot, the brown-haired pervert scratched the back of his head. "Ah, how are you?"

"Hungry…" Koneko replied as she reached for youkan that was set on a small plate before nibbling on that Japanese treat effectively ending the conversation between the two of them.

Issei sweat dropped as he turned towards Kiba. "Um is she mad at me?"

The knight chuckled lightly. "I don't think so."

"Yeah, she's just a bit hungry." Naruto added as he closed his manga and grabbed a piece of youkan and ate it. "Want some?" He offered.

"Ah thank you but I'd have to say no."

"Suit yourself." Naruto replied as he started reading the manga once more while eating his share of the youkan.

It was then that the sound of water flowing caught the attention of Issei. Turning his head towards the source the pervert found the shadowy outline of a buxom girl behind a shower curtain. Why there was a shower in the backroom of the club room he had no idea but he wasn't one to complain. Being a pervert Issei's imagination went into overdrive as he began fantasizing about the girl who was most likely Rias showering behind the curtain. The newly minted devil didn't even notice that a small trail of blood flowed down his nose while he also started drooling like a pervert.

"Oi stop drooling perv." Much to Issei's surprise Naruto whacked him the back of the head causing him to slightly fault towards the ground. "Ouch…" he muttered out as he rubbed his head while turning around to see his attacker who was still sitting on the couch with Koneko. "What- but I thought?" He turned around and found only Kiba standing behind him. No signs of Naruto who he could have sworn hit him in the head.

Naruto barely restrained himself from outright grinning as he looked at Issei. Time to confuse the boy with Kage Bunshin for shits and giggles. "Hmm what is it Ise? You looked troubled."

"I thought you smacked me in the head."

"I wonder what you're talking about. I haven't move from my spot on the couch you could even ask Koneko and Kiba."

The petite Nekomata nodded. "He didn't move…"

"Yes, you could say that he didn't move from his spot." Kiba added.

"Then what was… who what when…" Issei said in confusion as he could have sworn it was Naruto who hit him in the end. "I could have sworn you hit me for being a pervert." Someone smacked him lightly in the head. This time he managed to tilt his head to the side and see Naruto grinning at him. "Yoh."

Snapping his head towards the couch he saw that Naruto was still seating on the sofa waving at him. "Yoh." The whiskered blond greeted quickly turning around he found that the Naruto behind him was gone. "What's going on?" He looked at Koneko and Yuuto, one just stared back impassively while the other just scratched the back of his head.

From behind the curtain the familiar voice of Rias echoed in the room. "Naruto-kun stop messing with Issei."

"No promises." The blond replied.

"Okay can anyone explain what was going on? Was it Naruto-san who hit me?" Issei asked curious about what the heck just happened.

"You could say it was Naruto-san who hit you." Kiba answered.

"Ninja tricks nin nin…"

"Ninja tricks?"

Naruto finished chewing on a piece of youkan "Issei look behind you again."

Issei did as he was told and saw no one but Kiba still standing beside the door.

"Now look back at me."

Again doing as he was told the pervert found not one, not two, but six identical blond's waving at him while they all did nonsensical stuff.

"Sextuplets!"

"Nope clones." The six identical copies of the blond vanished in a puff of smoke.

"How did you do that?"

"Sorry trade secret. If I tell you I'd have to kill you."

Issei gulped.

"Pfft just kidding it's one of my jutsu. "

"What's a Justu?"

"Something really bad ass!"

"Umm okay." Issei just nodded, it wasn't like the whiskered teen really explained what the hell a jutsu was. "Um then why did you use it on me?"

"Because you were drooling like a perv and it was creeping everyone out."

"Ara ara Ero-kitsune scolding someone else for being a pervert. I never thought I'd live to see the day fu fu fu." Ise's eyes immediately darted towards the new comer, the natural Japanese beauty, he had no doubt that it was one of the two great ladies, the one and only Akeno Himejima who was walking beside a now fully clothed Rias Gremory, when she left the shower he didn't notice most likely sometime when Naruto was messing with him.

Naruto rolled his eyes as he let Akeno's jab pass, hopefully he'll find an opportunity to get back at her later. "Well since we're all here let's start with some introductions." He looked at Rias who nodded in agreeing with his actions. Good. The shinobi pointed at the perverted teen. "You first Ise"

"Umm what am I supposed to say?"

A small smile tugged the sides of the shinobi's lips as waves of nostalgia hit him "Well let's keep it simple. Likes, Dislikes, and Dreams. Feel free to pass on any of those if you're not comfortable with sharing them." He added the last part while sending a discreet look at the other members of Rias' peerage. He knew they all had their own issues and it was rude to expose said issues for the sake of introduction.

"I guess I'll start for Ise's sake. My name is Naruto Uzumaki second year student. I like ramen, training, fighting, plants, and my friends. I hate the three minutes it takes to cook ramen, people who hurts my friends, breaking promises, and riding air planes. My dream well my dream is to create… um I mean it's not really that important right now." He laughed internally as he started munching on another piece of youkan that he stole from Koneko. He almost went ahead and told everyone of one of his many dreams which involved building a giant robot. "Well who wants to go next?"

"Normally I would have gone first with introductions but since Naruto went first I'm fine going seconds." She stood straight bearing a regal grace befitting that of a noble."My name is Rias Gremory Third Year Student. I prefer being called Buchou by the members of my peerage. I like playing chess, my family, the members of my peerage, anime and manga. I dislike people who harm my peerage and my family. My dream no my goal is to live proudly as the next head of the Gremory Family and to win many Rating Game battles."

Upon hearing a rather unfamiliar term the perverted second year student raised his hand. "Ano what's a Rating Game?" he asked.

Yuuto smiled as he decided to answer for the group. "It's not that important as of now Issei-san but we'll tell you later okay?"

"I guess it's okay then." Replied Issei if they said that it wasn't important then he'd take their word for it since this group did apparently save his life twice.

Rias turned towards her Queen. "You're next." She said.

"Hai hai… my name is Akeno Himejima Vice- President of this club, as for my likes, dislikes, and dreams I'll keep them to myself for now."

"Umm… why is that?" asked Issei.

"Fufufufu because a lady must always keep her secrets." Naruto and Rias sweat dropped as they thought about her likes which mainly involved electricity, extreme pain, leather, and whipping along with getting whipped.

"Then I'll introduce myself next. Issei-san my name is Yuuto Kiba, I like cooking, swords, practicing my swordsmanship, everyone here in the Occult Research Club. As for my dislikes and dreams…" For a second Issei could have sword a twisted expression appeared on the usually kind Yuuto's face. "I'd keep them for myself."

Upon hearing Kiba finishing up with his introduction the petite cat-like girl decided to go next. "My name is Koneko Toujo I like snacks, Naruto-sempai, everyone else in the club, and cats. I dislike Perverts. My dream is…" For a split second her eyes darted on Naruto, an action that did not go unnoticed by Rias, Akeno, and Issei. "To have strong and healthy babies…"

"A Bold declaration of love? To have babies? Then does that mean the cute Koneko-chan wants to do it with someone?" Ise couldn't help but shout out in rapid succession, completely in shock as he pointed a finger at the petite girl.

"Simple minded pervert…"she coldly commented deciding to ignore the brown-haired teen for the duration of this meeting.

"Ugghhh…" Issei quickly deflated as he felt the harsh coldness of Koneko's words stab him through the heart. "I guess I'm last. My name Issei Hyodou, I like Girls, Oppai, My Porn Mags, Video games, Anime, Super Sentai. I dislike Fallen Angels." Akeno flinched. "And my dream is…" He smiled rather proudly. "To become the HAREM KING!" he boldly declared without a care in the world that he basically a huge pervert. Not like the residents of the room didn't already know that fact.

Naruto smiled as everyone finished with their introductions "Oh and Ise before we forget…" He smiled at the other members of the club room who nodded in response. In a flash, several bat like wings simultaneously appeared on the back of each and every member of the club even Isei (unconsciously)

"We're all devils." Everyone aside from Issei proudly announced.

"Devils then does that mean." Issei looked behind him and spotted similar bat like wings on his back.

"Welcome to the world of devils Issei Hyodou."

After the introductions Rias then decided to take the lead and took it upon herself to brief Issei about the three factions which was composed of the Angels in heavens, the Fallen Angels who fell from god's grace, and the devils who dwelled in hell. She also mentioned a bit about the war that involved the three sides which dwindled the numbers of angels, fallen angels, and devils alike. The princess also went into detail about Sacred Gears and how Issei had a particularly strong one.

By then Naruto already tuned out of Rias' impromptu lesson as he received the very same lesson four years ago. From the couch Naruto laughed as he kept reading his manga. "Damn Nirvash is awesome. I wish I had a board like that." He said as he kept going through the pages of his manga until his ears got hold of Rias talking about the classes of devils which was basically composed of Ultimate, High, Middle, and Low Class.

"As of now everyone in this group barring myself are low-classed devil. Naruto over there should be considered a middle-class devil but he refused the promotion."

"Why would you pass on the opportunity?" asked Ise as he looked at what he considered as one of his potential rivals for his goal of becoming a harem king.

Naruto decided to put his manga away as he answered Issei's question. "Because I promised myself to beat the man who defeated me before I would accept the promotion."

"How hard could that be?"

"Well I have to fight a guy who could practically tank a nuclear bomb and come out of it unscathed." He replied as he was about to read his manga again only to realize that the sun was already setting. "Oh shit what time is it?" He turned towards Kiba who told him that it was around seven. "Damn, I have to go to work."

Naruto looked towards Rias while placing the manga he was reading inside his jacket. "Do you still need me here Rias-chan?" he asked.

'-chan? It can't be? Could that roguish blond pretty boy already has gotten Buchou in his grasp? If that's so then it would it be considered NTR if I try to go after Buchou? Ugh I hate NTR! So does this mean I can't trigger Buchou's flag so I can go through her route? Damn this is so complicated.' Issei immediately thought upon hearing that one honorific.

Rias placed a finger on her chin for a moment adopting her own thinking posture before replying "Mhmm you could go since I was just planning on telling Issei-kun about contracts and handing out the magical flyers."

"Cool, I'll see you guys tomorrow then nice meeting you again Issei. I hope we get along and you don'tt chase after me in those mobs again." He waved at the group but before he could leave he decided to have some payback on the Lightning Priestess "Oh and Issei if you ever need someone to train with just ask any of us." He smirked as he gave a parting glance at the smiling Akeno. "Well except Akeno-chan because she might be a little too rough for you."

"Fu fu fu I don't know what you mean Ero-Kitsune."

"I mean that you shouldn't train him since you're too much of a bitchy Sa-" reacting instinctively the shinobi ducked down and rolled towards a nearby window narrowly avoiding a bolt of lightning that appeared out of nowhere. "See total Sadist…" He added before suddenly jumping out of the window to avoid another bolt of lightning.

"Did… Naruto-san just jump out a window?" Issei asked, completely dumbfounded at what just occurred while whatever image he had of Akeno shattered in his mind.

Everyone barring Akeno who was now closing the window merely nodded in response.

"But isn't this the second floor?"

"So?" Chorused Rias, Koneko, and Kiba.

"Is it his hobby to jump from high places?" Ise couldn't help but asking as he recalled the events a few weeks back where the blond jumped from the roof top of the academy and came out unscathed. Then again he was a devil so that means that his body was stronger than normal so it was okay for him to jump from that height.

"Everyone has their own quirks." Kiba exclaimed snapping Issei out of his thoughts. "Hopefully you'll get used to them soon." Added the obviously sparkling pretty boy.

"I don't think I'm going to get used to that sparkle." Issei muttered under his breath.

"Hmm… what was that?" Kiba asked with an innocent smile adorned to his face.

"Uh nothing hahaha yeah nothing…" Issei laughed as he tried to change the subject. "Ano Buchou?"

"What is it Issei-kun?"

"Umm why does Naruto-san get to call you Rias-chan while we have to call you Buchou?"

It was Akeno who answered as she closed the window Naruto used "Because Ero-Kitsune has a special place inside Buchou's heart. Isn't that right Buchou?"

A slightly flushed Rias glared at her long-time friend taking note that her teasing have been escalating as of late. "Isn't that the same reason you call him Ero-Kistune? Because Naruto-kun has a special place in your heart as well?"

"Fu fu fu who knows?"

From the sidelines Issei Hyodou was internally crying as he thought of both Onee-sama's and even the school's mascot Koneko having the hots for the blue eyed blond. This definitely ruined his plans to start his harem kingdom from the research club.

"Are you okay Issei-san?" Yuuto asked in a rather concerned tone.

"Yes... I'm fine." He replied almost mechanically.

The pretty boy placed his hand on Issei's back. "If anything's been troubling you feel free to ask me I'll definitely help you out. Umm I'll even help you with your dream." He exclaimed while sparkling once more this time with a small blush on his cheeks.

'Why are you blushing?' Issei thought as a single tear fell from his eye, why did the he have to be so bishie and sparkly. "Thank you for that."

-A Pledge to my King-

Several Hours Later

Truth be told he didn't really need to work since Rias actually offered to support him financially but the blond shinobi actually declined the offer as he did not want to burden his king even further.

This eventually led to him going around town trying to find a job.

His first job was at clothing store, who accepted his résumé without question.

He was fired a day after he was fired for dying majority of the store clothes orange.

His second job came in the form of him acting as a bartender in a bar.

He lasted in this job longer but was eventually kicked out when he created a drink called Ramen on the Rocks which was basically Ramen with real rocks (the weird white rocks that he saw people using in the bar) served in a champagne glass. The drink poisoned -read overdosed several patrons with was apparently opium.

His third job which lasted only several hours was that of a driver.

Mere minutes after his first trip, the shinobi found himself involved in a wide scale police chase which resulted in several car collisions, explosion, and even an entire bridge falling apart. Safe to say that was the last time he ever rode a car.

In hindsight he should have known that a shinobi whose only talents catered towards pranking, eating ramen, and mass destruction should not really work without being reined in by someone who can put him in place.

And then came his fourth and current job.

A job that he wasn't necessarily applying for but rather he was lucky enough to get hired after the owner of the shop saw him saving a boy from killed by taking a hit from a speeding car. It was just a strange and complete coincidence that his new boss was apparently one of the strongest beings in the world.

For Naruto, his work was mostly composed of him serving tables, cleaning dishes, taking out the trash, or if he was lucky helping out in the kitchen. When he was hired he was actually supposed to be a Ramen Chef trainee under the tutelage of Yusuke. Unfortunately through a series of events in which a week's worth of Ramen was devoured in a mere five hours due to the blond giving in to his inhibitions and craving for Ramen forced his boss to not only kick his ass but to also ban him from the kitchen indefinitely.

Then again he was just too stubborn to give in to his boss's demand and often found himself sneaking into the kitchen and grabbing a bowl every now and then. It was okay if he wasn't discovered but if he was, he often found himself in facing a spiritual blast that always tore him a new one despite his almost insane levels of durability.

Speaking of spiritual blasts, apparently that day was one of the days where his luck was for the lack of a better word crappy. Yes definitely unlucky as he was caught by his boss red-handed with a bowl of ramen in one hand, a pair of chop sticks in the other, there were even several noodles hanging from his mouth when he was caught.

"Umm… it isn't what you think?"

Yusuke stomped on the ground rather furiously as he glared at his troublesome employee. "Oi, remember when I told you all those months ago to stop eating our product!"

"But it's dinner time!" Naruto bolted out of the kitchen ramen in hand.

"Just because its dinner time doesn't mean you can just go in my kitchen and eat off my Ramen! How many times do I have to tell you that gaki?" The older man rubbed his temples as he easily chased after the blond. "Can't you just go out and buy some food from the other stores?"

"Can't do that." Naruto replied as he busily slurped the remaining noodles.

"Why?"

"Because I spent majority of my remaining money buying a Blue Ray Box Set which was destroyed a few weeks back. Now that I think about it that wasn't a really good choice of where to spend my money on."

"So that basically means?"

Naruto blinked and stopped eating his ramen as he nodded. "Yep. I'm pretty much broke until you give me my next pay check."

Yusuke sighed, if the blond wasn't such a good worker he would have fired him long ago for all the crap he tried to pull mainly the boy staring at his wife now and then or the brat sneaking off to the kitchen and eating Ramen. "Fine you can eat but no more than three bowls"

"Thanks Boss! And since were on a roll here then can you give me a raise as well?"

"Go to hell!"

"Already been there and aside from the monsters it's not really that great."

Yusuke looked at the shinobi with a deadpanned expression before he swiftly took Naruto's bowl of Ramen away from the blond. "That's for being a smart ass." He muttered out as he started walking back to the kitchen. Just as the blond shinobi was about to complain to his boss, the sound of a loud almost roaring laughter reached their ears.

Turning their heads towards the direction of the noise the two saw the figure of one of their regular customers coming in from the restaurant's door. It was a man who looked to be around his late twenties with black hair and sandy coloured bangs. Instead of wearing his usual kimono the man was wearing a suit reminiscent to those worn of a pimp.

"It's the perverted fallen angel!" Naruto blurted out as he pointed a finger at the man. Aside from Akeno this was the man who he felt the tainted divine presence emanating from in waves that nearly drowned him. Thank god the perverted angel wasn't or didn't seem to be evil or else he would have shit his pants every time the man went to their shop to eat Ramen.

"I'm not a perverted fallen angel. I'm a super perverted harem master angel! Azazel!" The man announced with a hint of insanity and perverseness in his tone before he started chuckling rather heartily as he approached Naruto. "How are you doing brat? I haven't seen you in a while. But I heard you got your assed kick pretty badly by the brat from the Bael House."

"I'll beat him one day ttebayo!"

"He didn't even use his sacred gear."

"Well I was also holding back, I'll show you I'll beat him to a pulp and become a Middle-Class devil one of these days."

"Oh really? Then I hope you do better in your rematch blonde."

Naruto nodded confidently, "That's the plan."

"Yoh what do you want Azazel" Yusuke asked as he returned the bowl of ramen to the blond and made his way towards one of his regulars.

"I was just in the area passing by and I was in the mood for ramen." The governor of the fallen angels smiled as he ordered a bowl of Miso Ramen to go.

"Okay then…" Yusuke kept his eyes on Azazel as he gave the ordered to his wife so that she may prepare Azazel's Ramen. To the untrained eye it looked like Azazel was being his normal self but to his eyes he saw that the Fallen Angel was rather tense and nervous. "Naruto would you mind throwing the trash out for me?" he asked.

"Huh? Sure." Naruto replied as he ate easily ate through the contents of the bowl. "It was nice seeing you again perverted angel." Naruto continued as he left the two alone, making his way towards the Kitchen and eventually the alley behind the restaurant to throw the trash.

Yusuke folded his arms. "So why are you really here? It's not often I see you nervous like that."

"I'm here to ask a favour." The Fallen Angel looked around, extending his senses and magic to make sure that the blond or anyone else was not eavesdropping on him. "You see I'm afraid certain of members of my kin are being manipulated by someone into plotting a diabolical deed in this town."

"Then why don't you order them to go back?"

"That's the problem, they believe whoever it is that's ordering them is me." The governor of the Fallen Angels folded his hands ala Gendo Ikari. "I lost communications with their group a few days ago. I've already done my investigation and it doesn't seem that Kokabiel is behind whatever it is their planning. What I do know is that whoever is manipulating them or backing them up is also doing a good job masking their group's presence when I try to find them."

Yusuke's eyes narrowed. "So you want someone to 'deal' with them?"

Azazel quickly shook his hands in front of him in denial. "No, no, no, You should know how much I care for my fellow Fallen Angel so I'd prefer that they are all alive and well in the end."

"Then shouldn't you be bringing this up to the Gremory girl?"

"That's where the favour comes in…" He chiuckled lightly as he scratched the back of his head. "I was hoping that you were the once who could put up this request for her."

For a moment Yusuke was silent as he carefully processed what Azazel has told him. In a flash he realized why the Fallen Angel was asking him for a favor in the first place. "You're asking me this because it wouldn't look good for the leader of Grigori to appear that he can't even reign on his own subordinates. But that's not all you're doing this because your dream of peace won't be achieved if the leaders of the factions think your underlings are purposely starting crap like this."

"Hehehehe you caught me red handed and I thought you were stupid."

Yusuke snickered. "People often let their guard around you if they think you're stupid. Why do you think the gaki's been doing so good?"

"Because of that thing inside him?" the fallen angel jokingly replied.

The temperature in the room immediately went down a few degrees as Yusuke scowled at Azazel. Yes he has been friends with the man for a while having met and befriended the man during his days as a Spirit Detective but he also knew of the man's borderline unhealthy obsession towards researching sacred gears. If the man thought that it was a sacred gear inside Naruto then he would in no doubt try and obtain it. If so he wasn't just going to willingly allow Azazel to get his hands on one of his workers. "Are you planning something involving my employee?"

The Governor of the Fallen Angel quickly shook his head. "No no no, although strong whatever that thing inside him is not a Sacred Gear. How do I know that? Let's just say the couple of times he did a delivery at my place I may have already looked at it and truth be told I'm not interested in it so you don't need to worry about me stealing your employees." Azazel said trying to quickly diffuse the situation unless he wanted to fight against the war-god of the Makai faction. "So umm how about the favor?"

"You owe me one." Said Yusuke as his wife handed him the takeout bowl Azazel ordered. Thanking her the retired spirit detective quickly placed the bowl inside a plastic bag before handing it to Azazel. "Here you go."

Azazel smiled as he grabbed his order, if he was still an angel he would have in no doubt thank god for not only avoiding to fight against a man who would most likely have destroyed Japan but also having said man comply and agree to his favor. "Thanks, I'll see you later I have some research I need to do." The man left his seat and quickly made his way towards the entrance of the restaurant.

Yusuke grinned. "By research you mean girls right?"

Azazel turned his head towards Yusuke and sent the man a matching grin. "Tons and tons of research to do in the red light district bwahahaha! It's my one time of the year to relax and get away from all my problems in the world."Azazel cackled as he walked out of the restaurant. "I'm going to enjoy this night!"

Yusuke only shook his head. "Perverted Angel…" From the side of his eye he caught a familiar mop of blond hair entering from the back door of the restaurant.

"Hey gaki!" the ramen chef called out.

"What is it?" Naruto asked as he walked towards his boss.

"I'm going to make a letter would you give it to your Master for me?"

"Why do you want me to do that? Are you going to give Rias-chan a love letter? Aren't you already married dattebayo? Are you going to chea-"

*SMACK*

"I've got a job for her." Yusuke said, his right hand still firmly planted on his employee's head.

"I don't think she serves perverted old men."

*SMACK*

"I got it dattebayo."

"Good I'll hand the letter to you tonight." The former spirit then blinked upon realizing something. "And actually I've got a job for you as well."

"Huh? What do you need?"

Yusuke rubbed the back of his head rather sheepishly as he couldn't believe that he forgot something so simple. "Can you chase after our last customer?"

"Why the hell would I do that?"

"He didn't pay for his Ramen."

"What!?" Naruto shouted at in shock. To him not paying for Ramen was one of the most heinous acts that a human could ever do, right up there with breaking promises, hurting his friends, rape, and bad mouthing shinobi, his friends, the Hokage, and Ramen. "That Bastard!" Naruto cursed out as his eyes burned with hatred of a thousand dying Uchihas. Not even a second later only a cloud of smoke was left in the spot he stood on as he already ran out of the store.

"Oi wait take your uniform off! Ugh damn it gaki you don't even know where the guy is going! Damn it! Keiko can you look after the shop for a while I need to go after the brat."

Keiko came out from the kitchen and nods at her husband. "Don't worry I'll handle the shop. Have a safe trip."

"No need to worry." Urameshi took off his apron and chef's hat, placing it on top of the counter before making his way towards the door. "I mean what could happen?" He muttered to himself as he chased after his now rouge employee.

Apparently everything and anything could happen when a hyperactive devil shinobi who is chasing after the governor of the fallen angels was also being chased by the current Toushin (War God) of Makai.

Clusterfuck.

That was the best word that could describe the chaotic events of that night which started out a simple chase before eventually escalating into a life and death earth-shaking battle amidst the red light district of a nearby city which involved: a ramen bill, booze, drugs, gambling, pole dancing, several swear words getting thrown out, yakuza, hookers, youkai, youkai yakuza, youkai hookers, several wrecked Ferraris and Porche, a lot of swords, a territorial war, much ass kicking, a lot of running, a lot of collateral damage, and a half eaten cup of instant ramen.

Yep it was one of those nights.

A night that ended with Naruto being banned and blacklisted from a place due to the destruction of several blocks of the district, destroying no less than eighteen gambling houses and burning down five brothels while also laying waste to a good number of Youkai Yakuza. Yosuke was injured after fighting several bosses of different Yakuzas one of whom turned out to be a relative of the Nurahinyon which caused even more destruction before he eventually fled the scene with his employee. Azazel got his ass arrested and hauled into jail because all the blame was pinned on him for some reason, he eventually escaped the same night but much to his frustration he was also black listed from one of his favorite red light districts in Japan.

All of this happened in a span of nine hours.

"I mean what could happen my ass…" muttered a pissed off and banged up Yosuke as he dragged an unconscious Naruto by the leg towards the restaurant making sure the shinobi's face would scrape against the hard concrete road as painful as possible. "This is all your fault…" He cursed the unconscious blond before his face met the concrete as well, fainting from one of the roughest nine hours of his life.

Thankfully his wife Keiko having gotten worried over the headline news about utter destruction that devastated a nearby city left the store and eventually found the unconscious duo in the middle of the road near the ramen shop. Safe to say whatever job Yusuke had for the blond's King was delayed to the next day which begrudgingly turned into a day off for both Naruto and Yusuke who were both utterly exhausted because of the chaos that engulfed them. Yusuke made a mental note that day to never underestimate Naruto's capabilities in getting himself in trouble unknowingly saving himself from a lot of future head aches and stress.

-A Pledge to my King-

The Next Day

Rias sat behind her desk while sleepy/tired looking Naruto stood a few paces away from her within the Occult Research Club Room. The two were alone since Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, were busy showing Issei the ropes. In Rias' hand was a small mystical parchment with the insignia of 闘神 (Toushin/ War God) a title which was only granted to the strongest being of Makai and in this case a title belonging to a humble ramen chef who can kick enough ass to be feared among other factions. She was busily reading with haste, she read it not once not twice but thrice as she carefully processed the request written within.

"So what does it say?" A yawning Naruto asked as he looked at his King. This message was slipped to his pocket by his boss sometime last night amidst all that chaos.

"It's a request from your boss for the capture of the Fallen Angels that trespassed in the city. It says to capture them alive if possible." She answered as she summarized the contents of the message for the sake of her Rook.

"Capture the Fallen Angels alive…" Naruto's eyes slightly widened as he stifled a yawn before cursing. "Fuck!"

"Language Naruto-kun"

Naruto yawned once more "Ah sorry had a really rough night yesterday…"

"What happened?"

"It's a long story… a really long story nothing special so I'd rather not talk about…"

"Does it have anything to do with the several complaints and reports of property damage that flooded my desk this morning?"

His tiredness quickly washed away as he went on full denial mode. "Nope… not at all… I have no idea what you're talking about… you know you should ask either Issei or Kiba those two probably did whatever it is that those reports said."

"What about the property damage?"

"What about it?"

"They said the one who did the damage was a…" Her cheeks slightly flushed "A teen with blond hair who stepped in for an absent stripper. The reports also say that he was wearing our school's uniform before he started off with the strip how."

Naruto cringed internally while forcibly blocking out what was most likely one of the most humiliating memories in his life which was probably right up there with him accidentally kissing Sasuke. The blond tried to act as calm and stoic as he could as he tried to shift the blame so someone else. "So it was Ki-"

"And had six whisker marks…"

"ba- I mean umm ahhh… fuck."

Rias rubbed her temples as she sighed, what did her shinobi get himself into this time. "We'll have to talk about this later."

Naruto nodded "Yep we'll talk about this never and yeah never." He mumbled to himself before he continued "I kinda killed one of those fallen angels recently." He furiously nodded trying his best to shift the conversation away from the events of the previous night. "Yeah I already killed a Fallen Angel who went ahead and tried to kill me. So let's talk about that not about last night because nothing happened last night. Not a god damn thing."

Rias sighed, her shinobi can really be a handful sometimes "When were you planning on telling me that you killed one of them?" She asked vaguely recalling Naruto mentioning that he put down a, what was it, ah yes he put down a donut. He killed a Fallen Angel named donut.

"To be honest it slipped my mind." She frowned at him. "I said I'm sorry! It's just that I got attacked around the same time Issei was killed and you know things were pretty hectic back then so I forgot about it."

Rias face palmed "That was more than a week ago."

"Umm… whoops?"

"You do know what this means right?"

"No more killing Fallen Angels from here on out?"

"Yes but it also means that I have to punish you for your actions."

She needed to stay strong and discipline her shinobi from time to time less she wants him running around without restraints. This will at least make him think about his actions in the future.

"But…" Naruto tried to reason with Rias but was quickly cut off when she bestowed upon him his punishment for not only forgetting to report crucial information but also stacking up paper work on top of her desk. "No Ramen for a week."

Naruto's eyes widened in shock and disbelief "What?"

Rias smiled mischievously "Unless you're willing to tell me what happened last night."

Surprisingly enough the shinobi only whimpered in response as he looked at her with his sad blue eyes reminiscent to that of a cute and sad puppy. She almost gives in there and then. How can someone who can look roguish at one second look adorable in the next?

"Please don't take a way my Ramen." He begged her, as his eyes got teary.

She lasted two minutes before giving in. "Okay fine no ramen for three days."

The sadness in his expression quickly faded away. "Deal!" He declared as he jumped at Rias and enveloped the crimson haired princess in a big warm hug. "Thank You"

Rias smiled "I spoil you too much."

"I love you to." Naruto said carelessly, not noticing the huge blush the flustered devil was now sporting. "Thank you again Ria-tan!" He hugged her even tighter before breaking off and taking a few steps away from her. He then yawned. "Well if that's all then I have to go I'm a bit sleepy today."

"Wait you still haven't told me what happened last night!"

"What's that? Couldn't hear you! I'm going to take a nap. Ja ne" The shinobi disappeared in a swirl of leaves, leaving a pouting Rias. "Baka…" She muttered out before turning her attention towards the pile of leaves scattered around the club room. "He forgot to use the one that didn't have leaves again." She thought about picking the leaves up but decided forgo that for the sake of thinking about more pressing issues.

The Toushin's request was easy enough to accomplish and she was sure that her peerage was strong enough to handle several Fallen Angels, so there was no problem in that. Then there was the Phenex Family who were pushing for her marriage with Riser, she would have to study up on the agreement between her family and the Phenex and hopefully find a loophole to free her from this engagement. If that was not possible then she could always challenge Riser to an unofficial Rating Game but to do that she'd need every member of her peerage to grow stronger, she'll have to deal with this when the time comes.

Sighing once more the princess' mind shifted to her last and most likely biggest problem, as much as it pained her, as much as she wanted him to forever remain by her side, she still hasn't forgotten her side of their agreement. She still needed to look for a way to get her shinobi home if only for a moment so he may fulfill his responsibilities in that world. As hard as this endeavour was she would never give up. It was her promise to him after all and like her shinobi she never breaks her promises. The princess started tapping her fingers on her wooden desk, she really had a lot to think about.

-A Pledge to my King-

Several Days Later

The sun was shining brightly signalling the coming of the new day, to many the feeling the warm rays of the sun bask their skin was an invigorating and pleasing experience. However to devils the sun acted much differently, rather than power them the sun often made them feel weaker and lethargic. Even the normally hyperactive blond shinobi was not fully nullified from this curse resulting in him being rather less energetic than his usual self which basically toned his hyper activeness from an S Rank to an A Rank, still high but not high enough for him to run around causing wide-spread panic and chaos like a man on a sugar rush or to put it in his perspective a man on his ramen rush.

Naruto yawned as he thought about the last few days. The very normal days that he spent mostly training his ass off at night, relaxing in the clubroom with Rias while drinking Akeno's tea, as well as working in the Ramen stand.

Speaking of Akeno the sadistic queen still hasn't told him about the details of their date she just said that it would be a surprise and he should prepare for it, for some reason a part of him was scared shitless. Her fu fu fu laughing didn't really help with that matter.

He also trained with Koneko a few times and then as she accompanied him towards the mountain range and went along with his mountain climbing exercise which turned out to be too much for the girl as she barely finished in time and had to skip school the next day due to exhaustion by extension he also had to skip school to look after her since he blamed himself for her condition.

Rias on the other hand, was mostly quiet over the past few days, she was often in deep thought so he didn't really bother her that much. The only time the two of the talked over the past few days was when Rias wanted to play chess with him again. They played a few games, most of which he ended up winning. He asked the princess if there was anything off since her game seemed of but she told him that she was just tired.

He didn't really spend that much time with Kiba as the swordsman was often busy training Issei. The teen also stopped working in the Ramen Bar and got a new job with a higher pay. What the job was no one really knew.

Aside from his interactions with Akeno, Koneko, and Rias, most of the other times he was in the club room he often looked after Issei, giving the new devil small pointers about how to train his body while actually leaving the boy's training to Yuuto, Akeno, Koneko, and even Rias because despite that he wanted train Issei, Rias and the rest of the club deemed his training methods as insane and unsafe for Issei. Despite that he was happy to see the teen was adjusting properly to his life as a devil. He didn't really have the chance to fully interact with the new devil over a lengthy period of time but he did manage to talk to him about Anime and so on a few times and Issei was even nice enough to let him borrow a CD of Gurren Laggan which basically cemented their friendship.

As he walked down the road leading to school the blond shinobi spotted a rather familiar brown-haired teen walking ahead of him. Speak of the devil. Smirking the blue-eyed devil quickly blurred from existence as he reappeared behind the unsuspecting teen before patting him rather heavily in the back. "Oi ohayo Ise!"

Predictably Issei jumped in surprise. The shinobi actually had to give the sacred gear user some points for not screaming out like Sakura when he did that to her in the past that and more points for at least not punching him in the face. "Ohayo Uzumaki-san" The teen greeted back as he calmed himself down.

"Yoh! So how's training? I've heard Rias has been training you recently."

"Body hurts so much… it hurts in places that I didn't even know could hurt." Issei complained as his body felt sore all over. Ever since he joined the club he has done nothing but fulfill contracts and train, meet up with Morisawa then train, talk with the fearsome monstrosity known as Mil-tan then train, imagine building up his harem and then train. Yep he was basically doing nothing but training.

"Hehehe if had enough time in my hands I would have personally shown you the ropes sucks for that not happening."

"I heard that your training was even worse than theirs." Issei said as he recalled Yuuto subtly hinting that Naruto's training involved taking things up to eleven.

"You have to understand Issei. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Though it'll hurt like hell."

"That doesn't sound too convincing."

"I'm not trying to convince you. I'm just telling you that when Rias-chan and the others think that your ready enough for my type of training then prepare yourself for a world of intense hurt."Issei gulped as he took a step away from Naruto obviously fearful of whatever training the blond had in store for him. "But don't worry I'll take it easy on you." Naruto continued.

Issei wasn't convinced at all.

"Oh and by the way. Ise you better get ready for tonight."

"What?"

"I've got a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight." Naruto said recalling a conversation he had with his boss the previous night. Apparently there was a devil running around the area eating humans. If he predicted it correctly then Rias would most likely want that thing dead by the night.

"Big like Buchou and Akeno-sempai's oppai"

"Yeah big like op- " Naruto smacked Issei in the head for putting words in his mouth. "The hell are you making me say."

"But its true Rias-sempai and Akeno-sempai's Oppai are huge."

The whiskered shinobi sighed as he shook his head. "You really are full on Ero-Mode 24/7 aren't you?"

Issei chuckled sheepishly "Nothing can surpass my will! The will to become a Harem King! The Will of Oppai!"

Naruto's face planted almost immediately. If Ise was back in his world he would in no doubt think that the teen would set up Oppaigakure and be the Shodaime Oppaikage. "Isn't it a bit tad too unhealthy that you think about nothing but perverted stuff?" He asked as he got up as quickly as he fell down.

The pervert grinned. "It's who I am and I'm proud of it."

Naruto started laughing loudly. "You know I changed my mind. I'm going to really enjoy training you." He said almost ominously. It wasn't like he hated perverts parse but he might have a problem not channeling his frustrations towards Jiraiya to Issei.

Issei gulped, a small bead of sweat dropping from his forehead as images of unending pain flooded his mind. "Huh what do you mean?" He managed to choke out.

"Nevermind." Naruto's chorus of laughter ended.

"Umm… Okay?"

The two walked in silence after that, as they approached the school more students came in to view.

Being one who never liked silence Naruto decided to strike up a conversation, as he decided to humor the pervert's earlier words. "Hey you know since you were talking about large oppai that must mean you like them huge right?"

"Yes why wouldn't I? Isn't it every man's dream to nestle their heads in between a two marshmallow like mounds of flesh?"

"Yeah but aren't small oppai good as well?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well isn't it nice to just cup them in your hand… you know exact fit in the palm of your hand…"

"Now that you mention it…"

Before Naruto Uzumaki even noticed it he was dragged along Issei's pace as the two of them delved deeper and deeper into their various like and dislike about the female anatomy. Unknown to the blond some of the girls walking to school overheard the two and were left gawking at the blond.

"Naruto-sama is talking to the pervert!"

"No he's corrupting Naruto-sama!"

"Has Naruto-sama forsaken Kiba-sama and gone after that ruffian?"

"Kyaaaa~ a love triangle?"

"The bishounen Kiba-sama and the rougish pervert Ise-baka?"

Naruto heard it but he ignored it so that he could get to know more about his new perverted friend. Hell if they were going to be in the same team for a long time them might as well get to know and get along with Ise.

"…umm Uzumaki-san" Issei said rather uncomfortable as he felt a several gazes boring a whole to his very existence.

"What's the matter Ise?"

"Umm… them…" The sacred gear user subtly pointed at the group of gossiping girls.

Naruto sighed exasperatedly"Its best you ignore them."

"But…"

"Trust me if you ignore them and you're lucky enough they'll go away." Naruto said easily dismissing the brown-haired devil as the two of them once again descended into a conversation about the female anatomy. A conversation the two continued until they felt a small amount of killing intent directed at them. Issei who was still not used to the stimuli tensed and started sweating profusely as he recalled the last time he felt such a massive amount of killing intent both of which ended with him in a state close to death.

Naruto on the other hand just chuckled while tilting his head towards his side his blue eyes landing upon the source of the heavy and cold atmosphere. "Ohayo Koneko-chan!" He greeted ever so cheerfully as he ignored the normally stoic girl's cold glare.

"Umm Ohayo Konek-" Before Issei could even finish his sentence the white-haired girl decided to cut him off. "Perverts…" she whispered her tone chillingly cold.

"Ahahaha sorry about that got a bit carried away" Naruto admitted as he carelessly scratched the back of his head.

"S-she looks mad Naruto-san."

"Mah mah... she's not mad… I think?"

"What do you mean you think? Her glare is killing me!"

"Huh really?" The shinobi gazed upon the glaring nekomata. "Neh Koneko-chan can you stop glaring at Ero-Kouhai?"

"…" She puffed her cheeks before taking her eyes off the brown-haired devil. With a huff she then walked pass the two teens. Externally she was a bit mad that the two of them had the gall to talk about such subject in broad day light, much of her anger however was directed at Ise as she thought that the teen was influencing her sempai. Although internally she was pumping her fist high up in the air, extremely happy that she learned that her sempai doesn't care about breast size. This certainly was a game changer, now she didn't need to worry about her more buxom sempai alluring the blond with their massive breasts. That was certainly her greatest weakness.

She stopped walking and stared down on her chest for a second or two. "Good…" she whispered somewhat proudly.

"Koneko-san!"

"Neko-chan!"

Turning around the nekomata saw both her sempai and the pervert running towards her. A small smile tugged the side of her lips as she quickly turned away from the two and briskly walked away. The two ended up chasing after her while trying to apologize for acting like perverts. They ended up paying for her lunch to appease the wrath of the great loli nekomata. It was such a good day to be Koneko.

-A Pledge to my King-

That Night

"Told you something big was happening tonight." Naruto said as he turned to Issei while placed he placed his hands on his pockets and slightly bounced on his heels.

He was standing inside an unused building in the outer part of town with the Occult Research Club in order to hunt down a Stray Devil –a devil who left their masters place and causes destruction for the sake of power and their own self-interest, which escaped towards their territory.

The blond shinobi could have taken care of this little problem on his own but this time Rias didn't order him to go in alone to exterminate the devil since this was a perfect opportunity to show Issei the ropes.

Speaking of Issei.

The brown haired drooled in a rather perverted manner. "Yeah those Oppai are pretty huge." Issei whispered with a slight blush on his face as the figure of a buxom young woman with a voluptuous figure and long black hair appeared from within the dark hall ways of the abandoned building.

"Really?" Naruto simply pointed at the rest of the devil's body.

The blush on Issei's face quickly faded away upon seeing the lower half of the stray devil's body. Her lower body was gigantic and beastly with four legs, each having sharp claws, and a snake as a tail giving her an appearance similar to that of a centaur.

"Dude… half of her body is like… what the hell is she?" Issei asked, stricken in disbelief that such a loveable pair of breasts belonged to a centaur thingy.

"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?" said the creature.

Naruto shrugged, purposely ignoring the stray devil. "Why don't we ask her?" Naruto cleared his throat before placing his hands near his mouth. "OI WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWAY!?" He yelled as loud as possible purposely getting the attention of the stray.

The Stray Devil released a massive amount of killing intent and malice that caused Issei to flinch, the shinobi however was just indifferent as he had felt stronger intents in the past.

"What a noisy prey!" The devil cackled madly as she placed her hands on her chest. "I'll enjoy melting you before I eat you!" Two magical circles appeared on top of her bare nipples before she shot out two steaming squirts of what looked like milk.

The first shot was easily evaded by the blond. "Holy Shit!" Naruto cursed as he rolled on the ground to avoid getting melted by the second squirt which melted several wooden floorboards.

"Acidic Oppai Shot!" Issei shouted in fear. It was sacrilege for his lovely breasts to be turned into deadly weapons like that, sacrilege! Thanks to his training the sacred gear user managed to duck just in time to avoid a squirt of the acid aimed at his face.

The two ended up running around the Viser evading several more squirts of acidic juices shot towards the two of them. Ise unused to the whole situation of dealing with Stray Devils that wanted to melt his face off was screaming like a girl while Naruto was confident that if needed he could kill the creature was laughing loudly enjoying the whole experience.

The rest of the club however were just staring blankly at the two as they continued their deadly game of dodge the squirt of acidic milk? Was it even milk in the first place?

Rias' eyebrow twitched as she watched the spectacle, "They're getting along pretty well aren't they…"

Akeno placed her hand in front of her mouth. "Fu fu fu birds of the same feathers flock together."

"Why is Kiba sempai not with them…" Koneko asked as she tilted her head towards the Knight.

Kiba chuckled dryly "Because I'm not that reckless and umm… I'm not a pervert?"

"Fu fu fu the cabinet in your room third Drawer hidden inside a trick panel." Akeno said causing Kiba to immediately freeze as a blush formed on his face. "How did you?" He asked as he stared at the Queen in disbelief. How could she have found out where he hid his magazines?

Unwilling to let her knight get embarrassed even further the crimson princess of ruin decided to step in. "Do you have dirt on all of us don't you Akeno?" She asked.

"Ara ara I wonder what you're talking about?" Akeno said innocently, not that anyone brought her act.

"Akeno-senpai is scary…" Koneko whispered as she looked back at the two remaining members of the research club. Naruto was cackling like a maniac as he pulled Ise out of the way of an attack that would have probably killed the brown-haired teen. By the looks on his face Ise was about to faint sometime soon. "Buchou shouldn't we help them out…?"

"Fu fu fu it looks like Ero-Kitsune is enjoying this why don't we wait just a bit more?"

"No it's best that we finish this already it's unwise to play with your enemy any longer than Naruto-kun has." The crimson haired princess cleared her throat which managed to get her still smiling shinobi's attention. "Naruto-kun can you bring Ise here? I need to teach him about the Evil Piece system while I use you and the others as an example."

Naruto nodded "Sure. Give me a sec." Evading another squirt of the acidic essence the blond devil quickly grabbed Ise in the arm, with one mighty huff he threw Issei towards his King, he then switched himself with a log to avoid getting hit by another acidic quirt before he reappeared beside Rias.

"Where did this log come from?" Viser screeched out as her acidic juices burned through the log.

"The log is everywhere but it only appears to those who call for and respect it." Naruto replied almost automatically making the other devils even Viser sweat drop.

Rias sighed as she turned her attention to the sacred gear wielder "Issei, this is a good chance for you to watch us devils in battle. You already know about the war between the angels, the fallen angels, and the devil right?" She asked as Issei nodded to her in response. "Then I can tell to you that because of this war a lot of pure blood devils were killed causing a great decline of the population of pure blooded devils. It was during this time of great decline that one of the current Great Satans Ajuka Beelzebub created the Evil Piece system to replenish our ranks."

"Don't ignore me!" The stray devil shouted from a far.

They ignored her.

"Issei are you familiar with Chess?" Rias asked.

"Umm… I don't really know much about it aside that it's similar to Shogi."

Rias nodded expecting the response. "Like Shogi Chess has several pieces. King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, and Pawn. Each of those pieces has their own unique traits. Ajuka-sama used this idea in his Evil Piece system in which the devils reincarnated through this system is allowed to share a trait from one of the many pieces in the board games. However along with the creation of the system came the formation of competitions where nobles who have their own peerages and has their own pieces compete in a large scale battle for the sake of proving that their pieces are better than the rest of that they are stronger than the other you know the point. " She paused to take a deep breath. "Do you know what those battles are called Issei?"

"Ummm do I know?"

"Try to remember you asked about it during your first day in the club." Naruto said as he listened on to the conversation while keeping his eyes on the stray devil, he wasn't the only one as Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno were all on guard. The last thing they needed was for the creature to attack them while Rias was explaining Evil Pieces to Issei.

Issei's eyes widened as he recalled the words. "Rating Games! It's called Rating Games isn't it?"

The crimson haired devil smiled. "It's good that you remembered it."

"So are we going to compete in one of those games as well?" Issei asked.

"Sometime in the future. I have still not reached to proper requirements to take part in an official game."

Issei scratched the back of his head as he processed the information dumped on him by his king. "Then what piece am I and what traits do I have?"

"That's it I have had enough of you guys ignoring me!" The Viser screeched as she charged at the group with reckless abandon.

Rias smiled rather smugly complete unconcerned about the incoming devil. "Issei, I think a demonstration is in order." The King turned towards her shinobi. No ordered were needed to be given as the blonde quickly nodded and disappeared in a burst of speed.

"I'm going to eat y-" Whatever the Viser was going to say was cut off when a fist was planted on her face courtesy of Naruto. The shinobi then twisted his body and delivered a round house kick right at the stray devil's chest forcing her to skid back from the sheer strength of the blow.

"Since we don't have a bishop here right now. I'll play as one." The shinobi looked at Issei. "Make sure you're listening to Rias and not just gawking at breasts." The blond exclaimed as he started going through hand seals. "Fuuton: Fujin no Ken (Wind Release: Fists of the Wind God)" He whispered as out of nowhere a gust of wind formed around the shinobi's hands encasing his fists in a whitish shroud of wind. He then pulled his left hand back before punching it towards the Viser sending a massive pressurised gust of wind in a shape vaguely similar to that of a fist which blasted the devil to a nearby wall causing the wall to collapse as a fist sized fissure was formed on the wall.

From the side Issei's jaw dropped upon seeing the inhuman feet.

"Bishops are worth three powns. They are known for their high magical powers and their abilities to cast strong spells." Rias explained as the Viser slowly got up, spat out some curses at the shinobi, and then attempted to bum rush the shinobi.

"Then is Uzumaki-san a Bishop?"

She shook her head. "Actually he's a Rook."

"What? Then does Rooks also have special magic abilities like Bishops?"

"Truth be told Naruto-kun is supposed to be a Rook but… " She looked proudly at her shinobi "You can say that ability wise Naruto-kun should be ranked as Queen."

"What does a Queen do?"

"I'll tell you Issei-kun but know just watch the fight."

Naruto easily evaded the rush. Using his speed to his advantage the shinobi ran around the Viser circling the devil as he kept releasing punches coated with blasts of winds the bruised the devil's huge frame. The creature tried fighting back by firing another volley of its acidic essence but the skilled shinobi easily evaded it by jumping up in the air before releasing one massive downward pressure of wind that slammed the creature down on the ground, a large fist sized crater like crack formed in the floor.

Twisting his body the shinobi then flipped through the air eventually landing beside Koneko. "Whoops too strong. We might need to run out of here after this battle." He said as he lightly tapped the petite girl's shoulder "Tag! You're it." He said rather cheerfully as if he just didn't easily manhandle a devil with ease.

Koneko merely nodded in response. "Hai…"

"Waah Koneko-chan is going to get killed by that thing!" Issei shouted as he watched the petite girl charge towards the devil who was at least three times bigger than her.

Rias turned towards Issei as the Vizer finally recovered and attacked the cat like girl. "Koneko-chan, and Naruto-kun are Rooks. They are worth five pawns and have massive strength and increased durability. They are generally not that fast but there are always exception to the rule."

"Yeah screw the rules dattebayo!" Naruto said proudly happy that he did not belong to the stereotypical classifications of a Rook. He was far from being the fastest devil in existence but he was still fast enough to keep up with a Knight like Kiba.

"But Koneko-chan…" Issei couldn't help but have his doubts as it would pain him to see the cute girl being easily destroyed by the stray.

"Don't worry just look." Naruto pointed out causing Issei's eyes to widen in shock as she saw the small girl man handle the Viser.

To demonstrate Koneko took the devil's punch without even flinching before she punched the creature over the stomach making it lurch over before she grabbed Viser by the arm and tossed the stray on the ground earning a pained gasp from the devil as the building shook under the strength of the blow.

"That is the strength of a Rook" Rias said as she watched the petite girl slowly make her way back to the group eventually reaching them and tagging out with Kiba."I guess it's my turn. I hope you watch closely Issei-kun…" He said in an overly sweet tone that disturbed Issei to no ends.

"Uzumaki-san"

"Yeah what is it Issei?"

"Is Kiba-san ummm you know?"

"Don't ask, there are just questions in this world that is best left unanswered."

"I guess I could live with that."

"Don't worry you'll get used to it soon."

"You know I can hear you two…" Kiba whispered mostly to himself while sweat dropping as he slowly walked towards the stray devil. He then stopped still a few feet away from the devils as he extended his hands to the side.

"Issei don't blink."

"Huh what do you mean?"

"Just watch closely and don't blink."

"Naruto-kun is right, just watch closely and don't blink."

Doing as he was told Issei focused his eyes on the blond pretty boy. At first he was surprised that two swords appeared in each of the teen's hands but he was even more shocked when the blond disappeared for a moment, his whole frame flashing from existence to a point that his speed could only be described as Godspeed. He was fast, really fast, and to the eyes of Ise the cassanova was a blur, a yellow blur that quickly sliced off both of the Viser's arms with sight of so much blood squirting from the devil's sliced off arms made Issei pale considerably.

"The Knight, worth 3 Pawns they are known for…"

"Their speed and mobility." Issei finished the sentence for Rias as he watched Issei disappear in a burst of speed just slightly faster than the speed Uzumaki showed earlier.

"That is right. They are really fast and mobile allowing their class to perform high-speed attacks and maneuvers however their main weakness comes from their low defense makingthem more vulnerable to powerful attacks if it ever hits them." Rias further explained as Kiba appeared beside Akeno tagging with the ever smiling queen who cheerfully walked towards the wounded devil.

"Queen, the strongest class baring King. They are worth nine pawns." Rias started her lecture as lightning began generating around the queen. "They have the characteristics of all the other classes making them as fast as a Knight, as strong as a Rook, and as magically capable as a Bishop."

"Hey Issei you may want to close your eyes for this." Naruto warned with a hint of concern for the new devil.

"Why is that?"

"Because you're about to see Sado-chan's full blown sadistic side." To emphasize his point the a twisted and almost orgasmic expression appeared on Akeno's face as she started sending one bolt of lightning after another in increasing strength towards the wounded Viser who was screaming out in intense pain.

"She's scary!" Issei couldn't help but exclaim as the smell of ozone and charred flesh started to waft around the area.

Rias internally sighed as her queens true colours began surfacing once more. "Of course since Akeno…" Licking her lips in an almost erotic manner the Queen sent a stronger bolt of lightning at the stray most likely frying its nerves without killing it.

"Is the Ultimate Sadist." Naruto finished for Rias as he turned towards Issei. "Told you she was sadistic and it would be a really bad idea to train for her in hands on combat."

Issei only nodded in response, his eyes focused on the charred figure of the Viser. He couldn't help but feel bad at the creature's state. However what happened caught him off guard, since he was so focused on the creature he didn't notice that Buchou was already standing in front of the Viser, hand extended towards it's face as a small crimson orb formed on her palms.

He then bore witness as his King easily fired off the crimson orb and erased the creature from existence. Despite it not being human, Issei couldn't help but feel a slight pang of guilt and fear on how merciless the others dealt with the beast. He was so caught up in the waves of mixed emotions that suddenly hit him that he barely heard Buchou tell him that he was a pawn and that they were leaving. Truth be told he somehow felt a bit sick at what he witnessed.

Was it really okay to kill someone just like that?

Naruto looked at their newest recruit and immediately noticed the shock evident on the brown haired boy's features, he was sweating profusely, his face was slightly pale, his eyes directed at the direction where the devil stood before it was killed by Rias. It didn't take the shinobi long to figure out that Issei was most likely in shock after experience his first kill or at least first time experiencing death so up and close.

For a moment he remembered his younger self who was covered in blood shaking miserably as he watched several chuunins get killed in front of him. It was definitely a life changing experience. The blonde devil could only think about what was going on in the mind of a normal human being who was recently turned into a devil. This was still mild compared to the horrors of the world but it was a good first step.

"Rias-chan. Can you guys go one ahead I'll just have to talk with Issei here."

Rias spotted Issei and saw the troubled expression on his face, turning to the blond she gave a subtle nod before motioning for the rest of her peerage barring the two to follow her out of the abandoned building.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"I-I don't know… I just watched someone even if it was a devil get killed in front of me."

The shiobi placed his hands upon Ise's shoulder bringing the teen out of his shock. "Don't worry about it Ise." He grinned rather heartily hoping it would cheer the new devil up. "You'll get used to it." He added trying to comfort the sacred gear user to the best of his abilities. He wasn't really as subtle as Iruka who went on great lengths about how it was okay to kill, instead he just went straight to the point. Everyone eventually gets used to killing, that much was true for every shinobi and most likely also true for devils.

There was a few seconds of silence between the two of them before it was broken by Issei. "Do you really just get used to it. Does killing just get easy with time?" he asked.

"Killing is not easy. It never is and never will be. You'll know what I mean when you experience your actual first kill."

"First kill? Wait you mean someday I have to kill someone as well?"

Naruto smiled sadly as he delivered the cold hard truth to the inexperienced Ise. "We're devils Issei. Killing is part of our nature. It's something we can't avoid. Everyone in our group has at one point of another killed someone be it human, devils, monsters, and so one. Even I've killed my fair share of people."

"But it… it feels wrong. How can Buchou kill someone so easily like that? It was like she didn't even feel anything for killing that devil. Doesn't that make us… monsters?"

Naruto internally cringed as he recalled himself thinking along those same lines a long time ago. "I want you to remember Issei were not monsters because we kill others."

"What do you mean?"

"It depends on what we're willing to kill for. Take that Viser for example she was willing to kill and eat people for power. Buchou killed that thing for the sake of not only her family but also for the sake of preventing any more victims. I on the other hand kill to protect my precious people if someone were to attack everyone know and endanger their lives I won't hesitate to kill them." He took a deep breath before staring at Issei staring in his eyes. "Now Issei… what will you be willing to kill for?" Naruto asked.

Issei was oddly silent and looked like he was in deep though for a few minutes. "I… don't know but I won't kill anyone I promise myself that… I won't kill unless it's necessary."

It was naïve but the shinobi couldn't help but smile at the sacred gear wielders' words. "Good don't ever forget that. Now let's go Rias-chan and the others must be worrying about us." He said as he started walking towards the exit, Issei only a few steps behind him.

"Thank you Uzumaki-san"

"Drop the formalities, Naruto is just fine."

"Then thank you Naruto." Issei said with more energy in his voice.

Naruto grinned "No problem Ise, what are friends for?"

Omake 1:

Chapter 1: What if?

A loud crashing sound along with a strange energy signature alerted the residents of a certain castle towards the presence of a new comer. Being the most responsible of the bunch who lived in the castle a gray-haired woman clad in a maid uniform found herself to be the first one to arrive at the location.

To her shock she that the one who bypassed all the barriers and snuck in the area was nothing but a man. A man who she found lying on the ground, he was severely injured and bleeding profusely. There were several black sticks that were sticking out of the man's back, and he was even missing one arm.

Normally she would have just left and let the man die on his own but she was curious as to how the man managed to break into their strong hold. She also had no doubt that her husband would be interested as well.

Nodding as she made her decision the gray haired maid knelt on the ground while placing a hand on the man's body. There was a faint beat in his heart and she could sense that he still had a chance to live if he was healed.

"Can…"

The maid suddenly tensed as she turned towards the man. She was expecting him to be half dead and by no means was she expecting him to speak despite his voice box being obviously destroyed. "What is it?"

"Can I…" the man croaked out, his voice becoming intensely stronger and louder.

"Speak up."

"Can I grope your boobs?"

The ice queen just looked at the man with a blank expression on her face.

That day ended with the already injured toad sage encased inside a large slab of ice courtesy of the strongest Queen Grayfia Lucifuge.

Closeness Meter towards Naruto on the scale of 1-10: Sona Sitri: 6.5, Issei Hyoudou: 4, Azazel: 4, Yusuke Urameshi: 6.5, Serafall Leviathan: 5

EN 0: There we go! In all intents and purposes this chapter was supposed to be longer but I decided to split the last part of this chapter and put it on the first part of next chapter which will be longer than normal. Now about this chapter…first of all it shows the slight AU-ness in Naruto's own world in the form of his earlier kills. It also serves as an introductory chapter to Issei. The chapter also shows more of Naruto's personality and interactions with other denizens in and out of Kuoh. Since he arrived in this world the blond shinobi developed a form of complex that he thinks he could carry everyone's burdens on his own which stems from his innocence or his way of trying so hard to make up for how he couldn't save his first friend by doing whatever he can to make his new friends as happy as they could possibly be even if it costs him his own happiness. This chapter also tackled on of the topics I found that was not really concentrated on in the anime which was the subject of Ise seeing the Vizer get killed. Face it Issei was just a normal human before this all happened so it was expected that he'd react rather negatively towards seeing something get killed even if the Vizer wasn't really human (although the fact that he didn't see a human carcass this time did help).

EN 1: Issei: I WILL NOT BE BASHING ISSEI. Making fun of him and pranking him yes but outright bashing him no. Naruto and Issei will be -as already seen in this chapter, friends or in more colloquial terms Bros. They will have bumps in the road that will force the two of them to go against each other but aside from that they will remain close friends. I'm going to turn Issei into somewhat like a friend that Naruto deserves unlike that of Sasuke or any other of the Konoha 11, him being like Jiraiya somewhat helps since it makes it easier for Naruto to get along with him. Also this relationship goes both ways since despite Naruto being a positive influence to Issei the pervert may help the blond to get in terms with his more perverted side fu fu fu.

EN2: Evil Piece: Yes as many have predicted Naruto is currently one of Rias' Rook (She used a Mutated Piece of him) since I thought it would be a good change from the obvious pawn or king Naruto fics. To Rossweiss Fans don't fret she will still have a part to play in this story.

EN3: Naruto goes bill collecting: The entire details of the chaotic eventwill be featured later on in the story lol! There is actually a purpose for that whole part since with it I gave a vague clue about one of the factions that I'm also planning on and also foreshadowing a future events breaking out between two factions because of the events of that night.

EN4: Omake: If reception is good I'll continue writing it. Believe it!

P.S: Who managed to sneak up and stealthily dispel Naruto clones?
