"Discussion demon or gods"
'Thoughts demon or gods'
Last time:
He didn't know how much time had passed but once he reached the back he had found something new. A letter was neatly placed into a sleeve where pictures would normally be. There was one simple word displayed centered on the paper.
"Son"
Using his claws, he sliced open the envelope with as much care as physically possible. Removing the paper within, he was happy to see a letter written for him. beginning at the top he began to read.
"Issei…Wake up, you will be late." Issei's mother caledl out to him as she continued up the stairs.
Issei who was already awake having a slight heart attack. He had woken up at the same time as he usually does. But when he turned to get out of bed he realized two important things. One he was naked and two there was a girl in his room. And that girl definitely was not his Mother. Grabbing the covers and placing them over the morning wood he would normally take care of especially with the sight that graced his eyes. Standing before him was a beautiful woman in panties and bra. She was currently pulling up her skirt, the majority of which disappeared behind a curtain of bright red hair. His eyes tracked the wiggle, that allowed the fabric to situate itself perfectly on her hips. Following that was the upper portion of her uniform. Once the entirety of the Kouh outfit was placed on her body she moved to sit at the desk. "Did you enjoy the little show Issei-kun?" the teasing look matched her tone perfectly.
"Rias-sempai… what are you doing here?"
Ignoring his question, she spoke up. "Good morning Issei. Let me introduce myself. I am Rias Gremory. I am a devil." His next words didn't surprise her at all.
"A-A devil?"
Taking his reply as a sign to continue. "And also, I am your master. Nice to meet you Hyoudou Issei-kun." After she said this a giggle left her beautiful face.
That's when he registers his mother's voice coming closer to his voice. Quickly he began to scream his reply to the door. "Uh yeah, I'll be ready right away!"
The back and forth between Issei and his mother caused Rias to chuckle crossing her legs she smiled at the duo waiting patiently for them to finish. His pleas and appeals for his mother to not enter was ignored as she opened the door. The woman stopped quickly after seeing the forms of a naked Issei on his knees near a seated Rias with an amused smile on her face. But the icing on the cake was the sweet "Good morning" that was said by the red-head. The woman promptly shut the door and head back down the stairs. Both teens could hear the woman screaming to her husband about the situation upstairs.
"DARLING!"
"What is it dear?"
"It was Issei, and he he he is upstairs with a girl."
"A girl?"
"Not just a girl but a foreign girl!"
"Calm down what happen after that."
"He was naked on his knees, while she was sitting in a chair in front of him. It was like he was her servant about to lick her feet." By this point Issei had crawled into a corner and began complaining about what happen with his parents.
That's when he realized that Rias Gremory was in his room and she was getting dress earlier. The conclusion struck him quickly and a nose bleed began to flow out of his nose. 'Rias was naked in my room. Hehehe.' but something else clicked in his mind. 'I don't remember… I don't remember how I got here, how she got here. Or anything. Why? Come on, brain, work! I lost my virginity and I don't even remember?' pounding his head trying to force memories to return. But his rambling was cut short by Rias voice.
"Does your abdomen hurt?" the questioning look he gave prompt more details from her. "Where you were stabbed." Rias said this in her normal voice.
Issei was confused repeating what she in his head. 'Where I was…' images of a male with similar black wings to Yuma. With a blue spear of light that decided to throw it through his chest. Believing it was a dream much like the other time. 'How did she know about my dream?' he stood wide eyed looking at Rias' beautiful form.
"It wasn't a dream. You have an unexpectedly sturdy body. A fatal wound like that healed overnight, after all." She turned her head to the opposite side observing him the motion slightly giggling her breast.
"Healed?"
Expecting the question, she explained what she meant by healed. "I shared some of my demonic powers with your weakened body." He stopped her with a question of his dress. "I told you! I shared my demonic powers with you so you can heal up, that required we keep physical contact." Issei nearly died of blood lose at the thought of the night spent in bed with Rias. "it's alright I'm still a virgin." Rias said a few seconds of watching the funny sight that was a still naked Issei.
Finally, his brain kicked in telling that Rias had been saying some weird things such as devils and demons. Asking about it her response equal confused him.
"well I am a devil and your master."
He could already hear the cries of protest and he hadn't even stepped through the gate. "Why" Random student said in panic seeing one of the perverted Trio walking with Rias. The cries continued as he enters the area in front of Kouh.
"No way! Not that guy"
"He must be black mailing her to walk with him."
"She would never willing spend time with him.
Issei was use to the whispers of his fellow students but, was not prepared for the level of hate. 'Well, no wonder they're surprised. I'm arriving with Rias Gremory-sempai, the school's most popular idol, after all.' Looking at the figure slightly before him he couldn't help but grin stupidly remembering the amazing sight that he woke up to. His thoughts were interrupted by what Rias said.
"I'll send someone to pick you up later." With that said Rias left for the stairs that would lead to her classroom. Not bothering to turn around to speak to his face.
"For what?" was Issei intelligent reply
"See you after school." She gave him a halfhearted wave continuing up the stairs.
Before Rias could even reach the top of the stairs her attention was brought to a female waiting for her. "So, he's the one?" the person speaking turned out to be the student council president. Sona Sitri her back was leaned up against a pillar close to the railing overlooking the rest of the students. Deciding to greet her lifelong friend before she pries for more information. "Good day, Rias."
A smile graced her face seeing one of her best friends. But she also could tell that she wanted information from her, and was curious about allowing Issei to join her peerage. "Good day, Sona." Replied Rias in a tone they used when in public.
"It's not like you to impulsively decide to bring someone into your household."
Smirking at being right about Sona's actions. "It's not?" playing along she looked over the railing to see Issei with his friend. But, what she said next was not expected of her friend.
"No it's not, especially when you have been circling around the same person for a potential member since we enter this school." Sona said in an even tone. But was confused about the look Rias had on her face. 'What was that look? She looks pained. No, no that was regret. So something must have happened between them. That also explains why he left so suddenly. But he was supposed to come back yesterday.' Her musing was cut short when Rias managed to pull together her mask and speak once again.
Inwardly Rias was a conflicted she had done a good job of not thinking about one of her closest friends but, Sona had brought the one person she was trying not to think about. Then she had allowed her inner emotions to be displayed on her face. Pulling herself together however not as fast as she wanted. "Well, I got myself a silly little brother." Was the reply ignoring the subject Sona was trying to bring up. Rias quickly turned and left.
Sona too turned to leave, taking only a few steps when she spoke. "I see." With that two of the most powerful being in the school disappeared to their respective classes.
At the end of the day Issei had been sitting in the class for a while. He could have sworn that Rias was going to send someone to get him. Sighing before turning to the window he had about three seconds to look before he was distracted by the sounds of screeching of girls at the entrance to his class. Turning towards the door and what he saw pissed him off, Kiba Yuuto stood at the door surrounded by female students.
Kiba is a handsome young man with short blonde hair, grey eyes and a mole under his left eye. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform, which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.
"Hi." With that single word it caused most of the girls to scream and squeal the few that didn't prefer blue eyes to grey.
Turning his head away he only had one thing to say about the new appearance in the room. "Hmph. Pretty boy prince, drop dead." Once again his attention was brought to Kiba seeing as the boy approached him.
"Hello." Kiba this time was speaking directly to Issei.
Responding in his normal I hate pretty boy fashion, "What is it?"
"I was sent here with a message from Rias Gremory." The realization on the brown haired teens face prompted Kiba to continue. "Will you come with me?" as Issei stood to follow the blonde he received similar comments he had gotten for walking with Rias this morning. Scowling at the comments he followed his classmate out of the classroom.
It didn't take long for them to reach the old-school building in which the Occult Research Club was based at. The club house is a three story building, with the third story serving as a clock-tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story. Kiba open the door into a room, the interior is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. One side is set up to be able to be used as a bath, and a large runic circle is positioned in the center of the room.
"Wh-What is this room? Who's that girl?" Issei's eyes locked onto the form of Koneko Toujo who was sitting on one of the couches with a tray of sweets on the table before her. She was chewing on some slowly savoring the taste, ignoring the two new arrivals.
Deciding to introduce the two knowing Koneko would ignore anyone but the president while eating her sweets. "She is Toujo Koneko from year 1. And this is Hyoudo Issei-kun." Kiba said this with a gesture to each student respectively. But he was ignored by both Koneko for her sweets and, Issei who was analyzing her body.
'A frail body. A matchless loli-face, this is a mascot character popular with girls as well as boys! And she's a member of the Occult Research Club? What a pleasant surprise!' the inner squeals Issei was doing caused the people present to look at him weirdly but he didn't care. His mind nearly exploded when he heard the sound of running water. Looking into the corner he saw a tub surrounded by a shower curtain. 'A shower… in the club room? This… this… must be… Art!'
A voice from an attached room spoke up. "President, you have a guest." This caused Issei's eyes to snap over to the source. Entering the room was one of the two great ladies of Kuoh. Akeno Himejima in all her beauty enter through the door.
"Thank you, Akeno." The voice could only be Rias said from in the shower.
Issei was trying to see through the curtains hopping to get a view of the naked supple skin of one of the most beautiful girls in the school.
"Disgusting." The voice of Koneko broke the concentration of the pervert her words caused Issei to sulk. His mood improved though when Akeno moved over to introduce herself. As he was examining her beautiful form he missed the water turning off and a fully clothed Rias step into view.
Moving to sit on the desk in the middle of the room. Rias apologized for her not being ready when he arrived, Issei waved her off the view she gave him both this morning and through the shower curtains was well worth the wait. Rias then crossed her legs and put on a serious expression preparing for the true meaning behind his arrival. "Well now that we're all assembled. We of the Occult Research Club are honor by your attendance." Not knowing what to say, so he didn't.
She continued un impeded. "But the ORC is only a façade. It's a mere hobby for us." The smile on her face was one of amusement, Issei on the other hand made his confusion known.
"What do you mean?"
Sighing, she decided to jump straight to the point. "Keeping the explanation concise… we are devils." Spreading her arms out gesturing to everyone in the room.
In a bland tone Issei said. "That was concise…" Seeing his disbelieving attitude.
"The black winged man from yesterday… He was a fallen angel. While a being of God's right-hand angels, they held some impure ideals and fell from the heavens. While controlling humans, they attempt to destroy us devils. Ever since ancient times, they passed from Heaven to Earth to Hell. Aside from fallen Angels, there are also angels sent by God with the order to murder us. In other words, a three-way war… Do you understand our story so far?"
Thinking it was just a story he was prepared to leave seeing devils and demons weren't his cup of tea, unless they are in skimpy outfits. His naughtier thoughts came to a halt when Rias mention someone everyone so far had said doesn't exist.
"Amano Yuma. You haven't forgotten her, I suppose. You did date her after all." The frustration, panic and hope that appeared on his face didn't go unnoticed by those in the room. Acting on his frustration though he decides to get up to leave seeing they were playing with a sensitive subject. That's when Rias tossed a picture of the Yuma and himself together, while finishing her statement. "She did exist of that I am certain. This girl Amano Yuma. She is a fallen angel… the same being as the man who attacked you in the park." Rias then went into detail about her theory about why he was attacked and killed by the fallen angels. Then explained to Issei about his sacred gear an item given to him by god, which the fallen angels didn't want to be used against them.
Throwing his hands up to stop her he spoke up about him being alive. "B-B-But if that's true, isn't it strange that I'm still alive?" as if having an explanation for everything she held up a piece of paper he remembered getting before the date.
"After the fallen angel Yuma killed you, I was summoned. And a resurrected you as my servant and a devil." As if commanded black jagged wings opened on his and everyone's backs. In awe at what just happened he nearly forgot to tell her she was wrong.
"Rias-sempai… Yuma-ch…I mean Yuma didn't kill me." Issei's words had an immediate confusion. Not use to having so much attention on himself. It took him a moment to compose himself seeing that Akeno and Rias' eyes were now glued to him, and even the stock Koneko's eyes left her sweets for a second.
"What do you mean Issei-kun." Akeno was the first to speak but the question was shared by Rias.
Shifting uncomfortably in his seat the stares of such beautiful ladies was something he is not use too. "Well… when Yuma had transformed I ended up on the ground. She was going to stab me with a spear of light." Looking up for conformation that it was actual that. The nods gave him the answer. "I closed my eyes expecting pain… but it never came. When I open it Naruto-sempai was there." He was interrupted by Rias.
"Naruto-kun was there?! What happened?!" Rias looked frantic for a second before calming down noticing how the information was effecting all of her peerage.
"Well yeah he showed up and blocked the spear. He and Yuma-chan talked. She tried to convince him to just leave even offering up her body. Lucky bastard…" seeing the stares he was receiving he cough nervously. "she tried to stab him when he refused. But he dodged… he was moving so fast. He hit her in face and drew blood. She made more spears and begun to throw them. That's when he ran out of the park Yuma chased after him. I was trying to escape when another spear pierces my chest." Issei looked at Rias then at the Akeno seeing nearly the same expression on their face. But a question popped into his head and the silence gave him opportunity to ask. "Is Naruto one of us? A devil I mean."
Rias shook her head. "No he isn't." with that said Rias personality did a flip her normal demeanor appearing again she went on to explain how he could get stronger an acquire a peerage of his own. He immediately took it as his way to have his own harem. Handing him the contract slips he left to go get started. Once Issei left the room the atmosphere returned to its somber mood.
Kiba looked to his king seeing the pain on her face. He may not have been close to Naruto but he respected him for his skill and the friendship he had with his other peerage members. "Buchuo? What do you want us to do?" her eyes were close in thought but he knew she heard him, she would speak when she had a plan.
"Kiba I want you to do your contracts. Once finished stay close to Issei if he gets into trouble notify me immediately. Koneko?" the white haired beauty turned from the half eaten sweet she hadn't touched since Issei told them about Naruto to Rias. "I want you to head to the park according to Issei, he went into the woods. See if you can find some leads to find Naruto. It had only been a two days hopefully something there will tell us what happened." With her part said Koneko and Kiba left the room.
"And me buchuo? What will you have me do?" Akeno asked with hints of anger in her tone. She had been quiet since her new peerage member said Naruto's name and her thoughts and concerns had begun to swell while Rias explain Issei's job.
Rias could already see Akeno's hatred for fallen angels growing to new heights the thought of Naruto being killed by them obviously not helping. If she was honest with herself, she was also close to losing herself in both rage and sadness. But as a king and a member of one the 72 pillar families her actions speak for an entire race.
Sighing she stood from her spot on the desk and walked past her. "We are going to see Sona. Hopefully she can shed some light on this situation." Before she could grab the door handle Akeno pulled it open. Her façade of calm covering her true emotions then they left.
Naruto Uzumaki walked through the sliding doors of the train. Securing the pack on his back he continued deeper into the station. His hand went into his pocket searching for the letter his mother left him, more specifically the instruction she left him. he opened the paper smiling see the near perfect penmanship that was his mother's writing.
"If you are reading this then the plans I set for you after my death went almost perfectly. By almost I mean you should have never found this letter or the room hidden in the house. The reason I hid this from you is because the less you know the safer you are. It would take me too long to explain everything through a letter. So I'll make my explanation short me and your father weren't human." His mother's abruptness brought him to pause. Sighing as he truly inherited his mother personality. Continuing his read. "Let's start with your father since his kind are well known and in abundance. Your father was a fallen Angel, as the name implies he was an Angel that fell from the grace of god. Normally you can only fall when you are consumed by one of the deadly sins. Minato-kun was a special case. He wanted a simply life with me and being an Angel he couldn't be with me the way we wanted. So he decided to fall. Fallen angels along with their pure counterpart have an easy way of ranking themselves power wise. The number of the wings is a good indicator of this starting at one pair to the max of six, as far as I know there are few that reach 5 sets and above. Now your mother is a different story. To put it lightly I am far stronger than your father. But that is beside the point." He chuckled seeing a little picture of a chibi Kushina beating up a downed chibi Minato.
"I am a Youkai, yes like the ones from Japanese myths and lore. To be more specific I am a Kitsune. I would tell you more about us but I think you should learn about your' on species from its leader. To do so you will need to travel to Kyoto which is the center for all Youkai activity in Japan. Once there you will need to head for the mountains outside of the city after you leave the city you will begin to feel a unique energy flowing around you pulling you towards a shrine. It might be hard to gain entrance considering no one will know you. If you show them a tail and your ears that should be enough to give you access. Once inside ask to speak with Yasaka. Be respectful she is the leader of the Youkai faction and more importantly she is a Kyuubi the highest level that a kitsune can reach. You may have nine-tails but she has had them for a long time and could kill you before you could even blink. Okay. I am forgetting something. Oh yeah to hid your kitsune features you should imagine them being pulled back into your body and they will do so. I recommend practicing at home first. I can't tell you how many times people looked at me weird because I let my tails out in public. I love you son and no matter what you do in life I will always be proud of you."
Naruto had been walking through the crowded station while he skimming the letter. So engrossed he didn't realize he and a girl were own the same path.
"Umpfff." The feminine groan from the collision knocked Naruto out of his inner thoughts. Acting on instincts he quickly wrapped an arm around the now falling figure keeping her suspended off the ground. He looked at the suitcase the female in his arms dropped due to his attention being on the letter.
"I am so sorry Ms?" he slipped the letter in his free hand into his pocket again. Using his now free hand he helped the girl into a standing position. With her now in a standing position he could get a good look at her. Standing there was pretty girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair flows all the way down to her lower back, with split bangs over her forehead most of her hair was covered by a white veil with light blue accents. Her clothes consisted of a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wears a silver cross necklace around her neck.
In Naruto's opinion she was the picture of purity and innocence. He then heard the soft sweet voice of the girl before him. "It's quite alright…Oh my name is Asia Argento. It is nice to meet you." She extended her hand.
Naruto having picked up her luggage sitting it up right he then grabbed her hand. He was overwhelmed by the feelings that weren't his own. Managing to shake it off he introduced himself. "Likewise. I am Naruto Uzumaki. Sorry again for bumping into you. I guess I shouldn't read and walk." He chuckled lightly which she reciprocated.
It was a melodious tone which couldn't help but make him smile. "I had the same problem the higher ups in the church always got on me for reading the Bible while walking. I was always the one to fall when I bumped into them though." Asia said while picking up her suitcase, smiling up at the taller blonde.
"I see, if you don't mind me asking what is a nun doing so far away from the Vatican." Asia's eyes widen hearing him speak Italian with only small hints of his Japanese accent.
The excitement carried over into her voice. "You speak Italian, oh thank the lord. Ever since I got here I've had trouble finding people to help me." Maneuvering the bag on his back he motions towards the bench situated in the middle of the platform.
Nodding her head in agreement they sat down. Asia asked him where he learned Italian which he told her he visited one summer for training. Confused by the statement she cocked her head to the side and asked about it. He happily informed her about all the training he has done both in Japan and overseas. Asia nearly went into a panic attack after Naruto told her she didn't tell him what she was doing here. However, it was his turned to be surprised when she told him she was assign to the church in his home town.
'I could have sworn that church was abandoned years ago.' Shrugging off his initial thoughts on the place, he guessed that they might have restored it. Naruto stood up which confused the younger blonde. "Well Asia-chan I don't want you to miss the train to Kouh but, take this." He reached into his wallet pulling out a card.
Asia read the card quietly then spoke out her confusion. "An orphanage? Why give me this card Naruto-san." Her curious green eyes looked into his blue playful ones.
"Well by the time you get to Kouh it will be dark and the church is quite far from the station. That orphanage is closer; I am sure they will let you stay the night. Beside the kids need a better role model. I tend to get them to do crazy things." Naruto explained before giving the younger girl a happy smile. He started panicking when she started to tear up. "Hey Asia-chan don't cry I'm sorry for whatever I did. Just don't cry." He was on his knees bowing his head in seconds.
He peaked up at her when he heard a giggle. "It's ok Naruto-san" she wiped the tears from her eyes. "It's just I haven't made any friends before and I just thought this is what friends would do for each other. And it made me a little sad." Explained Asia in a tone of sadness he knew she should never have.
"well of course it's what friends would do. We are friends… Maybe not the best of friends or even close friends. But we are new friends. Besides I am sure the kids at the orphanage would love to be your friend. So no more crying little miss nun." He rubbed the hair gentle through the veil causing her to smile.
"thank you Naruto-san. The Lord has blessed me with a friend today and I will always be thankful." Naruto laughed nervously at the young woman who seemed to be praying now.
"We will have to hang out when I get back to Kouh. I'll see you then Asia-chan." Turning around he left giving a soft wave over the shoulder. He could hear the happy goodbyes Asia was shooting at his back. Once outside he looked around to get his bearings then set out following his mother instructions.
It didn't take him to long before he reached the forest. He was surprised how fast the flat landscape changed into hills then mountain peaks. He didn't mind though. Naruto actually enjoyed the feeling that the forested landscape gave him. His mother was right, not long after entering he could feel a sort of energy flowing around him. If he had to describe it, he could only say it felt like happiness. 'Mom was right it is flowing but why am I just now feeling it.' Closing his eyes, he could almost feel the energy flow around him.
Opening up his eyes then continuing down the path he had found not too long ago. Naruto was once again brought to a stop as he smelt something. Not used to his enhance senses. He was caught off guard by the new smell that enter his nose.
Taking a couple more sniffs of the air he turned his head slightly following its source. He walked for a few minutes off the beaten path until he could hear the sound of running water.
Moving around another tree he saw a small stream coming from down the mountain but that wasn't what stunned him. it was the little girl. She was jumping from stone to stone spinning making sure not to fall into the water.
The little girl couldn't be any older than an elementary school student going by her height. She has hair the color of gold tied in a ponytail with matching eyes. The girl was wearing what looked like the traditional miko outfit and tall geta sandals with white tabi. The sleeves of her haori feature a giant red star-shaped pentagram, surrounded by five smaller pentagrams in between the points. But what stunned him was the nine golden blonde fox tails and matching ears that came out of her body.
Too stuck in his current state, he didn't notice the branch that was crunched under his foot. The noise it made was heard by the playing girl causing her to stumble nearly falling into water. One of her tails caught her and helped rebalance herself.
The little girl turned to the sound then called out. "Who's there? C-come out!" the little girls voice sounded scared and that caused pain to shot through his heart. Following the instructions, he moved from his hiding spot hands up in a calming gesture.
"I am here. I didn't mean to scare you."
"You didn't scare me." She huffed still looking slightly defensive at his presence. "Why are you here? Who are you?" her tone started to gain a haughtiness as she calmed down from her initial fright.
He chuckled at her attitude reminding him of some of the children at the orphanage. "Sure. I am Naruto Uzumaki and, I was told to look for a Yasaka."
"You looking for Mama?"
His surprise was shown on his face. "You are her daughter." Receiving a nod, he smiled walking closer to the girl. "Well yeah my mom told me she would be able to help me." The little girl asked "with what?" Which he quickly responded in a playful tone. "Well don't you have a lot of questions? I don't even know your name."
The small girl stiffened realizing the rudeness of her actions. "My name is Kunou. I am the future leader of Youkai faction. It is a pleasure to meet you." She gave a small bow that made him smile at her princess like attitude. He gave a bow of respect towards the heir of the Youkai faction.
"It is an honor to meet you Kunou-hime…" he paused thinking about his situation. "Considering you are the future leader of the yokai and can take me to your mother I might as well show you."
'Show me what.' Her inner thoughts were stopped when two ears grew out of the top of his head a spiral mark appeared on his forehead. Following that nine golden tails tipped red nearly matching the color of blood started to sway softly behind him.
Confusion plaster his face when he heard what the little girl said. "Daddy." The girl launched herself off her pervious water locked platform barreling into his chest wrapping her small arms around his waist.
Not wanting to hurt the girl but knew he could lie to her. Kneeling down the girl moving her arms to circle his neck. "I am sorry Ku-chan but I am not your father. I have never had a kid before."
Kunou scooted back looking Naruto in the eyes with nothing but confusion on his face. He continued not wanting the girl to get upset or angry. "But I have always wanted a little sister. Is that ok." The girl nodded her head up and down on his chest. Having brought him into another hug.
"So Ku-chan you mind taking me to meet your mom?"
"Okay Naru-nii…Follow me." The small pause was to let her wipe away the tears on her face. She grabbed his hand and begun to pull him through the forest. Naruto was surprised by the strength in younger girls had. Not mention the speed she was showing. The duo ran for a couple minutes until Naruto felt like they were being followed. Looking behind him he didn't see anything he was about to turn around when he saw a black feather fall to the ground.
Quickly scooping up the Kunou which elicited a squeak from the girl he took off moving faster than their previous speed. Both yokai could hear someone above the canopy curse knowing they were found out. "What's going on Naru-nii?" blue eyes looked down and met a scared golden gaze.
"Someone is coming to get me. So I am going to take you home then leave hopefully they will leave you alone after that." His tails wrapped together forming a single much bigger tail. This giving the new youkai more balance allowing him to run and maneuver faster. 'How did they find me all the way out here. I'll have to figure it out later now I have to get Kunou back to the shrine hopefully the fallen angel chasing us isn't willing to fight the entire Yokai faction just to kill me.' He didn't have to worry about that, as the fallen angel slowly floated down in front of them two sets of black wings spread out in a x shape. 'Shit! He has four wings.' Naruto inwardly cursed at the fallen angel's rank. Digging his feet into the ground brought the speeding teen to a stop.
Placing Kunou on the ground then moving the girl behind him protectively he stared the fallen angel down waiting for him to say something.
Attached to the black wings was a middle aged man with slicked back purple hair, with lazy black eyes. His skin was a sickly grey. Across his nose was a scar that looked recently done. He was wearing a weird fur collared jacket along with an unbutton gray shirt. Black slacks went all the way to a pair of nice dress shoes.
All together he looked like an asshole. Which was further exemplified by the rough sound of his voice. "Hand over the little vixen, boy. And, I might not kill you too."
Naruto then realized what he wants. 'He wants Kunou.' Said girl gripped the back of his shirt in fear. "No you can't have her. If you want her you will have to go through me." The smile on the fallen angel's face didn't make him feel better.
"Fine by me."
The fallen angel rocketed towards Naruto, wings propelling him faster with each beat. Using his tail, he secured Kunou to his back before moving to the side. A green light spear formed in his hand its shape closely reminiscent of ancient roman spears. Seeing the spears blade being swung sideways at his face he ducked out of the way. He heard Kunou call out a warning not bothering to look behind him he just moved letting instinct along with his new senses guide him.
A second green spear buried itself into the ground. Narrowing his eyes at the fallen he saw a number of spears floating around the small clearing. From what he could see there were ten visible besides the one in his hand.
'So he can make multiple spears within in a certain area of his body. Good thing they are slow.' Hopping backwards two spears landed where his feet would have been. 'I need to get Kunou out of here. But how?' side stepping a thrust from the easily aggravated fallen angel he moved into the more densely forested area hoping to once again use the trees as obstacles.
"Get back here you damn brat!" roared the purple haired man who was having a hard time chasing the teen through the heavy foliage. Rage consumed him using his spear he cleaved the trees down making a clear path to the now waiting blonde. Smugness blossomed on his face seeing the stationary blonde kitsune. "Decided to give up and hand over the brat." The fallen angel said in victorious tone. Seeing the spears fade away Naruto smiled.
"Not exactly." With the opening given Naruto was on the winged man before he knew it. Fist cocked back before exploding forward sending the winged man into then through a tree. The shock that appeared on Naruto's face was warranted considering never testing his strength after his change. Not wanting to let the man recover he appeared at the down crow's side. A kick lifted the down man off the ground only to be shot down when Naruto used a double fist strike to slam him back into the ground.
He would have continued his assault if not for the green spears that flew at him from three different directions. Moving a good distance away from the winged figure, he was able to see the spears dissolve as their creator stood back up. Dirt and grime cover his face and clothes. One of the wings was bent awkwardly the fallen angels condition brought a smile to his face but it only lasted a second when the man flew off towards the forest.
Blue eyes scanned the trees stopping upon catching site of golden hair. 'Kunou!' Naruto mental yelled before running towards the little girl, his speed faster than the fallen could fly especially with the damage to his wing.
Arriving there first he crouched over Kunou protectively knowing he couldn't get her out of there with the proximity of the Fallen Angel and his enclosing spears. He whispered softly to Kunou. "Don't worry Kunou I won't let him hurt you." Both kitsune Ignoring the constant screaming of "Die!" and the increasing number of green spears growing closer to them.
'I wish I could do more to protect her…I am sorry Ku-chan.'
Squeezing the younger girl tight against his chest he waited for the familiar pain to blossom in his chest and back. It never did. He could feel pressure coming from several spots on his back but no pain.
Looking behind him he was amazed at what he saw. The fallen angel was pierced through his body in multiple spots by golden chains. The links had a two spike point along each link. At the end of each chain was a tri blade tip. The center blade being nearly 6 inches long while the two that flanked it were a little less than half that. The entirety of the chain was glowing softly.
A cough brought him out of his reverie. Looking at the man he could clearly see one of the chains pierced his heart and while the another went through his extended hand before wrapping around it. The face of the man was turning pale while crimson liquid dripped out of the corners of his mouth. Naruto didn't take the time to examine the other locations his spears had pierced.
"Damn you." The fallen angel managed to cough out. Not long after the life in his eyes began to fade leaving the limp body hang in the air by the gold chains.
As if sensing the death of their prisoner the chains began evaporate leaving the body susceptible to gravity. The sound the dead body made hitting the ground was not what knocked Naruto out of his shock. It was the little voice of Kunou along with the crying he could hear from her little body.
"Ssshhh sssshh. It's ok Kunou lets take you home."
Had he turned around he would have seen the shadows flicker and the body disappear leaving nothing but a few drops of blood.
He had been walking for a while now, his steps were slow and even trying not to wake the sleeping girl on his back. His new strength made holding the little girl securely to his back easier, it also helped her arms were wrapped around his neck. However, with Kunou unable to give directions he was back to following the flow of energy, he could feel the current grow in strength as he grew closer. Looking up the path he could see a red tori gate. Behind was the elaborate stone work that forms stairs heading up a mountain peak. Every couple of steps he noticed a similar tori going over his head.
With each step the feeling in the air was becoming overwhelming. It was like whoever was at the top was in anxious or worried about something. Feeling these emotions was making him want to turn back. But the soft snores from the girl on his back kept him on course. Blue slitted eyes looked to the top seeing the soft rays of light emanating from the top.
Steeling himself he pushed himself to the top. Feet landed on level ground, eyes landed on the massive form that was the final tori gate beneath it were two people. Well they weren't people per say but two youkais. Their energy and appearance made sure of that. He didn't know what the first was but Naruto could definitely tell it was female.
She had long purple hair pulled into a high Bun leaving some it to cascade down her back. Her skin was dark chocolate in complexation, that contrasted greatly with the purple and white shrine maiden outfit she wore. The outfit was worn looser than he had seen before allowing her collar to lay on her the very end of her collarbone. This brought attention to the cleavage visible even in the light of the setting sun. Naruto on the other hand was mesmerized by her eyes. The woman's slitted pupil seemed to float in a pool of liquid gold and honey that sparkled with the dancing light of the lanterns around.
She was giving him a playful grin, that unsettled him slightly. Reminding Naruto too much of Akeno's darker side. This gave him the perfect excuse to turn towards the other women who he had a good idea who she was. The Nine golden tails were a dead giveaway.
Yasaka was a very beautiful woman that looked no older than late twenties. She had flawless alabaster-white skin and long, golden hair that fell past her slim waist nearly making a seamless conection between her hair and tails. She stood around an inch shorter than Naruto but her ears standing tall gave her an extra six inches.
She like her daughter was wearing a traditional dress of a miko. Yasaka's was slightly different she wore a white jacket with cords through the sleeves and open shoulders. Strings were attached to each lapel and tied in front to keep the garment closed. Her sleeves were loose shirt and extending slightly past the wrist. The slits on the side of her hakama, and the openings at the sleeves and shoulders of her jacket showed her perfect skin underneath. She wore a bright red hakama with common tabi and rice straw sandals. Her outfit was tied together with a red Obi.
Seeing Kunou's mother he knew the little girl he just met today, who saw him as an older brother would grow into a beautiful woman. As he continued to step closer to the two he could feel the relief wash over the blond women. Naruto was beginning to wonder if feeling someone emotions was a normal ability given to kitsune. He figured asking was his best option. But not right now. Naruto turned his head to wake the sleeping girl but it didn't work. Receiving a "Not now Naru-nii." Which caused the two women to chuckle the purple haired woman more than the other.
Naruto grew a sheepish smile hearing the laughter from the two yokai before him. "Me oh my… Yasaka-sama I didn't know you had a son. And one so handsome too." The purple haired woman said lightheartedly. "It sounds like you were trying to hide him for me." Putting a pout on face she turns to Yasaka. Who didn't even turn to acknowledge her.
When Yasaka replied it was a voice as beautiful as it was authoritative. "You know good and well I do not have a son, Yoruichi." One of her tails slapped the woman softly on the back of the head. The leader of the youkai faction looked Naruto in the eye then turned towards the main part of the shrine. "Come on in. We have much to discuss kit."
He was surprised that he was just allowed in like that, seeing the retreating form of both women who were half way through the main yard he set a pace fast enough to catch up. His stomach made itself known by growling which caused the women in front of him to chuckle.
"We will discuss why you are here with my daughter on your back, over dinner."
Smiling at the homey feeling entering the shrine gave him he gave the older kitsune a response. "Thank you Yasaka-sama."
With that the small group disappeared into the shrine.
Rias and Akeno were making their way through the deserted hallways of Kouh academy. The soft tapping their footsteps made was the only noise that could be heard until they enter the section of the school where the student council was situated. Upon moving closer, the sound of paper being moved and pens and pencils scribbling could clearly be heard. The two beauty had a guess of what the other peerage of Kouh was doing.
Akeno moved before her king knocking softly on the wooden door to the council room. Waiting a few seconds, they were given permission to enter. Opening the door for her king to enter then following her through the egress. The two scanned the room what they saw didn't surprise them.
There were five classroom desks placed in different parts of the room covered in papers. Sitting at each of these desk was one of Sona's peerage. Closest to the door was a short teenage girl with brown hair in long twin ponytails and green eyes. She wears a pair of green clips in her hair and she also wears striped green stockings. The rest of her outfit was the normal female uniform. If their memory served correctly this was Ruruko Nimura one of Sona's pawns.
Not too far away were two desk set so the individual faced each other. They were Momo Hanakai and Reya Kusaka from the magically power they had Rias figured they were bishops. Momo A young girl with white hair and blue-green eyes. She mostly wears a Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform. While Reya Kusaka is a slim girl with long brown hair that ends in two short braids and matching eyes. She also wears a blue headband. She was passing papers to Momo before said girl sat them in a pile on the floor.
Across the room next to the window was Yura a tall girl with blue, shoulder-length hair and matching eyes. She has the basic appearance of a tomboy, and has a bishounen face. Her long legs were crossed as she was reading a paper with focus written all over her face. Yura was a rook and if what Sona says is true a good one.
Beside her was a girl who was tapping her foot to an unheard rhythm. This was the sitri heiress's only knight. Tomoe is a girl with shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair features swept bangs and a single strand of hair sticking out from the top.
After the green blue eyes were done scanning the room they met Sona's who apparently just finish a stack of paper if her moving it to another pile was anything to go by. Her queen Tsubaki was a step or two behind her against the wall arms crossed in front of her body. Rias made her way to the seats placed in front to the Sona. "How can I help you Rias? I would have thought you would be informing your new little brother of how things work." asked the glasses wearing king before her friend could fully get comfortable in the seats.
Crossing her legs followed by her arms putting on what Akeno called her king face she spoke up. "I just finished, actually Issei-kun is handing out flyers as we speak." The red haired beauty didn't miss the low growl some of the peerage members gave at the name of her newest member. "but I have a question I was hoping you could help me with."
The short haired beauty sitting before Rias raised a delicate eyebrow in confusion. "Like I said before, "How can I help you Rias?" Asked Sona once again, crossing her fingers before her mouth and leaning forward.
"Do you know where Naruto has been?" questioned Rias.
Sighing Sona uncrossed he hands leaning back in her seat. 'I should have known this was about that Naruto.' Putting her words together in her head not willing to give out information without getting something in return. "Yes I do." The relief on the two non-council members in the room was easily seen. "He came to me Tuesday afternoon and, told me he would be absent for the rest of the week." Her eyes having closed during her short reply opened waiting for the follow up questions she knew was coming.
As if on que Rias fired another one her face back to its stoic one. "Did he say why?"
Sona nodded before giving the information. "According to him it was a family matter."
"He is an orphan… What family." This came from the raven haired beauty standing behind Rias. But everyone in the room except Sona and Tsubaki nodded to that statement.
Adjusting her glasses in remembrance of what Naruto said to her when she said something similar that day. "I said something similar and his reply was "Blood doesn't make you family, Sitri-san."" Replied Sona in the same even tone that was present in the Sitri heiress whenever she was talking.
Rias nodded thinking on her peerage and missing friend. But was snapped out it when she continued to speak. "He was supposed to return Monday but did not. Anything else you want to ask before I get to my questions?" enquired Sona.
Rias closed her eyes turning to Akeno who had her eyes closed and fake smile plastered firm on her face. "Do you know where Naruto lives." The question obviously confused the student council but didn't voice it.
Tsubaki moved to filing cabinet not too far away. Flipping through it before pulling out a folder, she spoke up after finding the information needed. "Unfortunately we don't have his house address listed. He used the orphanage he grew up in as his listed address. Along with the matron of the orphanage as his emergency contact." The heterochromatic queen spoke for the first time.
"Now what is going own Rias, you have never come to me asking about Naruto before."
Rias bounce the idea of hiding somethings from Sona but they shared the territory so she had a right to know what is going on. "As you know Sunday night I revived Issei Hyoudou making him a devil. I decide to postpone informing him of his new status until this weekend giving him more time to adjust to his new body. Last night my hand was forced however due to another fallen Angel attacking him. After stopping the fallen I spent the night healing him, then I told him I would send someone to pick him up after today school. After we gave him a summarized version of the great war and his role as a low-class devil he told us something troubling." Explained the Gremory heiress taking a pause to remember Issei's Exact words.
The pause didn't help the situation for Sona her mind was currently going over the information at it was unsettling to say the least. 'So there are multiple fallen entering devil's territory. But, why? They have to know this could be seen as an act of war especially with me and Rias' connection with the Four Great Satans.' Her inner deliberations came to a halt as her friend continued.
"According to Issei the Fallen Angel Yuma did not kill him because someone interfered."
Rias was interrupted by her fellow king who had put the pieces together. "Naruto. Naruto stopped the fallen angel." the declaration brought all work in the room to a stop.
Nodding her head Rias continued, "Issei said he was even able to strike her and draw blood. Which caused her target to shift to him." sighing at all the stray thoughts flying through her head. Managing to pull herself together and continue. "According to Issei they disappear into the forest. And, when he tried to run away another fallen struck him down. If what I my information is right, we have at least three fallen angels somewhere in our territory."
With that said the two kings became silent. It didn't last as the two kings began to talk about how they would deal with the current fallen situation. They decided that the two kings would not make a move against them until they find out what they want and Naruto's status. After saying their goodbyes Akeno and Rias returned to the ORC. Once inside the room Akeno moved to her tea set needing to do something to keep her mind off of the current situation. 'Naruto-kun please be alright.' It didn't take her long as of the years of experience made it a simply task.
As she turned around she could see her king, her best friend, her savior all those years ago in turmoil. She didn't have to be a mind reader to know what her king was thinking about.
Rias' thoughts were pushing her further and further into depression. 'If he is dead? when was the last time I talk to him? What if Koneko can't find anything? Would he have been safe if I just turned him? Does he know how I feel about him?' the somewhat controlled chaos that was Rias' thoughts were brought to a halt as a teacup was placed before her. The two drank in silence waiting for either Kiba and Issei or Koneko. It didn't take long before the door was open showing all three.
The king and queen could feel more power flowing in Issei than before and asked him what happened. After he explained that the fallen angel that killed him tried once again but he activated his sacred gear managing to scare her away. Rias asked to see the gear which Issei quickly agreed to. A green glow began to surround his left hand before it consumed it. When it vanished a gauntlet had manifests itself on Issei arm, leaving the wielder's fingers uncovered. The color was a deep red with two yellow spikes coming from each side while a big green gem covered the majority of Issei's fist.
The red haired king walked over to the boy closely examining the gear before smiling softly. "From what I have read this sacred gear is called "Twice Critical". It doubles everything about the user while activated." Said Rias before turning and heading for her seat. "Did you find anything Koneko?" receive a shake of the head the beautiful heiress sigh for what felt like the hundredth time today.
She looked at the state of her peerage seeing their differing emotional states she decided their best course of action. "It has been a long day. For now, let's all get some sleep. Come here after school from now on Issei-kun." The pawn saluted with a pervert look on his face he said good bye to everyone else receive a goodbye from Kiba and Akeno, while Koneko said called him a pervert before sitting on the couch in front of her sweets.
With the newest devil out of the room Akeno spoke up. "And what are we to do about Naruto-kun." She made eye contact with her king before grabbing the now empty cup of tea moving to place it was the others in the set to clean later.
"There is nothing we can do… We could hardly track Naruto-kun with his weird presence, so looking for him right now is not going to help. Tomorrow I will inform you all on my plans to deal with the fallen angels, once they are dealt with all are efforts will be diverted to finding Naruto-kun." Her blue green eyes stared into the purple belonging to Akeno. The ravenette could see the pleading hidden deep in her king's eyes. Nodding her acceptance, she disappeared into the adjoined room to clean the tea set before teleporting home.
The other two in the room were quiet watching there king and queen with wrapped attention. Kiba was the first to follow Akeno's lead deciding to walk home instead of teleporting. Koneko not to far behind having to grab a sweet from the plate on the table. Before they left each one gave a "Good night Buchou." Which was met with a quiet reply.
Now alone in the room Rias emotions finally cracked the stoic façade. Her magic began to visible shake the room the thoughts of someone who cared for her and that she cared for gone or missing effecting her control. Taking a deep breath, she reached for her top right drawer, her delicate hand grabbing a photo that was sat on top of everything else. Pulling it to her face she couldn't help the pull on the corner of her lips.
The picture was of Naruto and herself at one of the many anime conventions held in japan. He had found out about her hidden pleasure and dragged her to one. It was one of the best days of her life and it was all thanks to the blonde redhead that managed to wiggle his way into her heart. Placing it back in its spot she stood heading for the shower in the corner before the spare bedroom in the building.
