Enjoy Chapter 3. Read,Review and all that jazz but most importantly enjoy.


Naruto had finally gotten home after a relatively exhausting, emotionally speaking, day.

At first Issei had been deigned good enough to join the Occult Research Club, whatever quality or thing Rias Gremory was looking for in her members to begin with Naruto didn't know. Apparently perverted, breast obsessed Issei had it though.

Then he had been caught in his attempt at snooping around by Akeno Himejima, which would no doubt alert them to his interest in their goings on.

And then had met the most sex obsessed loli, ever, again and he got molested by her. Well that maybe wasn't the right word as it would imply that he didn't like what she had done.

He had enjoyed it very much, even as unconsenting as he was in that situation. There was no doubt that if there wasn't the whole thing with this Yuuma girl vanishing from the face of the earth which the situation with Mittelt bore eerily much similarity to he would no doubt have let his raging teenage hormones free reign and taken her up on the offer.

He shuddered as he remembered how her soft feet had caressed his member, it was definitely the most pleasurable thing he had felt to that point.

'...I definitely need to take a cold show...very cold...arctic.' the blonde thought to himself as he felt himself get aroused at the memere memory of it, especially as fresh in his mind as it was.

He unlocked the door to his house, gave a quick call that he was back and that he would be taking a shower before dinner before going upstairs to do just that.

Naruto felt the icy water run down his body. It was cold and put Naruto in quite a bit of discomfort but it served to focus and sharpen his otherwise occupied mind.

A shiver went down his spine whether from the cold water or his running imagination he couldn't say.

'Focus, Naruto, focus.' he reminded himself sternly 'You have more important things to worry about at the moment than fucking someone senseless.'

He still had to find out the secret behind the disappearing girl Yuuma and the connection that event had to the Occult Research Club.

He had already hypothesized that Yuuma was in fact part of the Occult Research Club but had thrown that quickly out of the window as too many things did not add up.

So instead of trying to solve the initial mystery he decided to go about it in a roundabout way.

Naruto was almost absolutely positive, about ninetynine point nine repeating percent, that Issei's induction into the Occult Research Club and his meeting and the subsequent disappearance of Amano Yuuma were connected since those two unlikely and improbable events were so close together.

Secondly Rias Gremory handpicked the members of her club, this meant that there had to be some common attribute that connected all of them. Since Issei had not been asked to join the Occult Research Club at an earlier point in time he had to have acquired this attribute, the required quality in relative recent history.

Which of course meant that the only out of the ordinary event that fell into that timeframe was Issei dating Amano Yuuma for a whole of one and a half day before her disappearance.

'Now how does this tie in with the Occult Research Club...?' Naruto thought to himself in confusion

Rias Germory and Himejima Akeno were both third years, Yuuto Kiba and Hyoudou Issei second years and Toujou Koneko a first year.

'Since members of the Occult Research Club are from three different grades it is not an isolated event of always hitting second years. Toujou Koneko's presence in the club speaks against it.' Naruto started to logically eliminated all the factors he could come up with' It's not an event tied to a specific date.'

Koneko had been part of the Occult Research Club as soon as the new school term had begun. Kiba was part of it once his first term had begun 'One whole year apart from Issei.'

And Rias and Akeno were part of it from the inception of the club during their first year.

'If they always took a person upon their entry in Kuoh Gakuen then Issei's membership contradicts that theory as well. Furthermore there is no date that connects all five members of the Occult Research Club, like a common birthday for example.'

Naruto was sure he could rule out any connection specific to certain calendar dates or anything in the vein of popularity, looks or academics, since Issei didn't fit into any of the parameters the other four did.

'Next theory. All the members of the Occult Research Club had dated someone in the past that was then mysteriously wiped from the face of the earth as well.' he grimaced this all was starting to give him a headache 'Again nonsensical. How would they even know about that if pretty much everyone that had been involved would lose their memory? It would be like arranging a meeting for people that had an invisible unicorn but nobody knew of the other that they had it.' Naruto turned the water off and stepped out of the shower 'Maybe they are picked because of their ability to retain their memories?' the blonde dried himself on mere muscle memory while lost deep in thought 'But then how would they determine who could keep their memories and who couldn't? And if they had such a methode they, logically speaking, should have realized I had kept my memory of the vanished person as well which would end up with me being asked to join the club as well.' Naruto sighed as he realized that he had already arrived again at the more crazy explanations 'Why am I even considering the last one as if it was somehow serious?' he shook his head questioning his own sanity.

Naruto's last theory had been that the Occult Research Club was just a front for something else. Like some kind of secret society for certain people.

'Yeah. Those five are going around as masked vigilantes and save the earth from perternatural havoc.' he snorted derisively at his own thoughts 'What am I thinking... this is not Super Sentai or anything... I must be watching too much anime.'

He clothed himself in a set of fresh clothes before joining his mother at the dinner table to get his fill of her delicious food.


"So how was your day? Did you get any closer to solving your mystery, Sherlock?" his mother teased him with a sly grin and Naruto simply shook his head

"Not in the slightest." he admitted with a heavy sigh "Things are not progressing at all. No matter from which angle I am approaching things. And to top it off even more mysteries are piling up?"

"What? Did another girl disappear from the face of the earth?" Kushina inquired interested in the developement of Naruto's little 'case'

"No, not quite, but Issei has joined the Occult Research Club." Naruto informed his mother

"Occult Research Club?" she raised an eybrow at that name "What's so bad about that?"

"Well Issei just doesn't fit into it." the blonde swallowed a piece of meat before continuing his explanation "The Occult Research Club, for whatever reason, is comprised of the most popular students and the Club President, Rias Gremory, handpicks each person herself. Considering the whole thing with the disappearance of Amano Yuuma that is too much to write of as a mere coincidence."

Kushina nodded her head in agreement to that "So what kind of things does the Occult Research Club actually do?"

Occult Research was a pretty strange topic. The Occult was something very few people actually considered to be something real or to exist at all.

Stuff like Card readings, Psychics were largely regarded as mere tricks. Cold reading, vague statements and seeming sympathetic those were all you needed to get the unaware to tell you all about them instead of having them tell you about yourself. Using this knowledge they then could be exploited for easy profit, even worse were mediums, faith healers and the like who actively preyed on other people's distress and weakness, shamelessly exploiting their quest for closure over a relatives death or their hope of curing a disease.

On the other hand it could also mean researching obscure but mostly useless things like Vodoo, Rituals things connected to 'Magic' that were usually regarded as mere fantasy and superstition.

In a much broader sense it could also refer to the study into lesser known legends and myths, like the Apocrypha of Christianity or Judaism for example.

Or maybe they simply studied myths and legends as a whole. Overall it was an interest Kushina somewhat shared.

Kushina had studied various languages, many of them without any practical use safe for translating texts for museums, to gain a greater understanding of history.

This had gotten her to research a bit occultism if only to gain a greater understanding of the fascination the people of old had with it.

"To be honest. Nobody knows what they are doing in that Club." Naruto answered with a shrug of his shoulders as he picked up another piece of meat

"What? How can't anybody know?" Kushina asked completely bewildered

"Well they don't tell anyone about it, no matter who is asking them." the blonde elaborated "The Club currently doesn't even have a teacher appointed as a liason in case something goes bad."

"I'm sure that is against the school charter." the red headed mother claimed

"That's what most people think but since Rias daddy is the school's administrator he allows her Club to function without one until Rias has decided that she found the right one." he informed her, causing the red head to frown

'This just isn't right.' she thought to herself

"What about getting into... sneaking into the club room and spying on a meeting of theirs?" Kushina felt slightly guilty that she actually suggested that to her son but I guess sometimes rules were meant to be broken

"Already tried that." Naruto admitted and hoped she wouldn't be too angry with him "They have a whole club house, it being the old school building and they noticed me sneaking around. The whole thing has probably a security system installed so that, that doesn't happen. Nothing I can do about it."

Kushina frowned, she really wanted to help her son but didn't know how.

Both mother and son kept eating in silence lost in their respective thoughts.


Just before Naruto went to bed he had an epiphany, albeit a small one. He would stake out the club house from a distance with a pair of binoculars, maybe he could stay away far enough not to be noticed and still learn something.

Going through his morning routine he packed the pair of binoculars to be used later this day.

Later that day he discreetly followed Issei staying even further away from him in the hopes of circumventing whatever security measures Rias had installed around the large club house.

He stalked around the perimeter, trying to pay attention to any hidden cameras or what else could be hidden around the Clubhouse.

'Considering the length they go to make sure nobody finds out what they are doing inside of there it must be something of note.'

However as he walked one full time around the building he noted that there were many large windows however all of them seemed to have their curtains drawn to a full close.

Naruto clicked his tongue in annoyance at being foiled this easily. Maybe he could wait until they all left the building and then follow someone, preferably Rias, to gain some inkling as to what they usually did.

"Ara ara, Uzumaki-kun again." a surprised voice sounded from behind him, he already knew that the voice belonged to Himejima Akeno

'How the hell did she sneak up on me now?' he asked himself disgruntled, the security system seemed to stretch farther than he initially thought

"What might you be doing here again, Uzumaki-kun?" she asked rather pleasantly, much too pleasantly for his liking "If it is about, Issei-kun then I already assured you we were going to take good care of him." she then noted the pair of binoculars in his hands "Ara ara, whatever are those for, Uzumaki-kun?" she asked in feigned ignorance

"I was observing birds." Naruto cursed inwardly, he had answered much too quickly for it to be believable

The black haired Yamato Nadeshiko seemed to take a look around "Ara ara, I fear there are no birds here." she stated playfully smirking at him, as her eyes locked with his "Maybe Uzumaki-kun was watching 'birds' of a different kind?" she asked rhetorically a coy smile spreading across herself "Perhaps you were peeping on dear Buchou,Koneko-chan and me?" she deduced and Naruto gulped what she had said, while not fully correct, was, at least, not completely wrong either "I'm sure little Issei-kun would be proud that his best friend embraced the 'Way of the Pervert.'" She leaned her face into her right hand in thought "Although what would all the other students say if they knew the scary Yakuza Naruto was a pervert and peeping on the 'Two Great Ladies' and cute Koneko-chan?"

Naruto groaned, if she spread that around he would never have a quiet day in school anymore, maybe even outside of it as well "Alright, alright. I'm going." he grumbled something inaudible about manipulative girls under his breath but had to acquiesc to her implied demand

"Good that we could come to an understanding, Uzumaki-kun." she said with a smile which turned into a sensual smirk "Although if you just wanted a peak...all you had to is ask and I would have shown you." Even if Rias didn't consider Naruto for her peerage, he was still a cute boy and Akeno enjoyed the cute looks of embarassment on the faces of those innocent boys.

Naruto both disgruntled by his failure, annoyance at once again being manipulated like that and because a fucking sex obsessed loli had given him a footjob in the middle of a cafe, he was completely unperturbed by this.

'Two can play this game.' he thought with a smirk "I hope you can follow up on that offer, Akeno-chan." he replied boldly momentarily stumping the raven haired girl who quickly went back on the offensive

She cupped her breasts in her hands "You want to see those?" she asked teasingly and made way to unbutton her shirt

Naruto blinked before his drive not to lose this game they were playing kicked in "Stop!" he said perhaps a bit forceful and a smug smirk of victory graced Akeno's lips for a mere instant, before her eyes widened slightly as she heard him say "Why don't you let me do that?"

She felt mildly impressed with Uzumaki Naruto. He had not been reduced to a sputtering and blushing mess by her teasing as most boys at school would have done in her presence.

She would have liked to go further and tease him until he was a moldable piece of putty in her hands and had him on his hands and knees muttering thanks to his 'mistress' Akeno-sama as she whipped him with her favourite Cat-o-ninetails and dropped hot wax on his body.

She shivered at the thought of it and it would have cause her S side to announce itself with a look of pure unadulterated pleasure on her face if she had not controlled herself better and Rias had not reminded her to hurry things up and return to the Club House for this evenings preparations.

"Well it seems I will have to cut things short, Naruto-kun." she spoke his name sensually causing a small shiver to go down his spine "Now please leave, I'm a bit late and Rias-buchou is expecting me."

He saw her turn around and sashay with a teasing sway of her hips into the building.

Naruto punched a nearby tree before he left, never noticing how his fist had a large indentation in the thick stump.

Even with the two teasing women that had enticed him in the recent days, foremostly Mittelt, his Id had somehow been much harder to restrain. As if somehow even more energy was bottled up inside of him than before. He had always been a bundle of energy and especially during a childhood it had been a bitch to focus all of it but he had managed.

But now he felt like he was a small boy again with the way he felt only this time instead of a bad attention span, as his focus had switched between countless of occurences at the same time, he had to deal with his libido fueled instict screaming at him to sate his sexual hunger.

For obvious reasons he couldn't go around tearing the clothes off of girls and raping them in broad daylight even if that sounded damn pleasurable.


Akeno meanwhile was back in the confines of her club room.

"Who was it this time?" Rias asked her queen who only giggled in response "Uzumaki, again?"

"He is a persistent one, Buchou." Akeno admitted "Perhaps we should alter his memories so he stays away if it bothers you that much?" Although she would miss getting to tease him.

The red headed girl shook her head "No, we can't fault him for being concerned for his friend." she explained, the mere thought of messing with a person for that little left a bad taste in her mouth "Besides he is not going to find out anything anyway and he is no danger to anyone."

She turned back to Issei who had blanched a bit at the talk about messing with his friends mind.

"Don't worry, Issei we aren't going to do anything to him." Rias assured her pawn who responded with a small smile

Issei then looked confused around "Where are Koneko and Kiba?" he asked his King

"The two of them are running a special errand for me in preparation for this evening." she responded cryptically before pulling out a large stack of papers and handed them to Issei "This will be your first job as a devil, Issei."

"Ehhh, what am I going to do with those?" he exclaimed in confusiong

"Because the number of humans that know how to create a summoning circle has drastically dwindled and we still need humans to make contracts with we have created these simplified versions of a summoning circle." she handed him one of the papers to elaborate as she went into lecture mode "A human can summon a devil and make a deal with a him or her to grant him a wish in exchange for..."

"Their soul? Their firstborn? Their virginity?" Issei supplemented remembering all the stories about devils

Rias giggled and Issei thought it was the most melodious and wonderful sound ever "No, we have long abstained from these archaic and barbaric terms. Nowadays we exchange our services for things like money or other objects of value."

"So basically we are doing odd jobs to earn money like someone might be delivering newspapers?" the perverted boy asked in surprise, that seemed so...mundane

"Oh yes for the most part, however there are some more reasons to this than simply earning more money." Rias elaborated and Issei wondered where she had gotten the glasses from "The other reason is that the more clients, regular clients, you have and the better you are able to fulfill their desire the more your reputation amongst Devils will grow. This gives you a better standing and more likely to get advanced to a Middle-Class Devil once you are strong enough to take part in the promotion test." this fired Issei up the closer he got to being a middle class devil the closer he got to being a high class devil the closer he was to being a harem king "The third reason why this is important is that devils when fulfilling a desire siphon a tiny bit of the released energy off to bolster their own reserves. It's not a big boost and it takes quite a lot of contracts for any noticeable increase in power. For example you would have to fulfill about one hundred contracts to boost your current magic reserves by 75 percent. Eventually the effect is almost negligible but most devils, especially low ranking ones, keep making contracts just to keep their clientele and to make some money."

However Issei had long since drowned out the last parts of Rias' explanation caught in his daydreams of being a Haremking, adored and loved by all the cute girls.

He picked up the stack of papers a fierce fire of perversion burning in his eyes "YOSH!" he screamed and for a single instant Issei had the urge to wear green spandex and scream about the power of youth however he quickly shook that urge off "I will hand out these fliers no problem, Rias-buchou!"

"Alright, but don't stress yourself out too much and try to be back here at the club house around seven o'clock. Today you will be undergoing special instructions." the red haired King stated

Briefly Issei wondered what she meant by that but was quickly pulled back to his dreams of building a harem. The brown haired boy picked up the large stacks with the summoning circles and ran out of the club house a few of the papers flying out of his grasp as a result of the speed he was moving at.

Rias sighed, Issei was a good person and very loyal to boot nothing to complain about there but for how easy it was to use his lust to motivate him he could stand to focus a bit more and listen instead of drifting off into daydreams.


Naruto trodded along the streets wondering how he should progress from here on out, robbed of all his possible options when suddenly a person rushed past him.

He recognized this person as Issei. Why had he already left the club? Why was he running?

Naruto saw his chance at getting to find out more and decided to grasp it. He followed after the running pervert until said boy had stopped completely exhausted from running in the middle of the shopping district.

He noted how Issei had a large stack of papers under his arms, wondering what those were for.

He then saw Issei try to hand them out to people only to be ignored or to be shot dirty looks. A few more polite people accepted the fliers but most of them quickly threw them into the trash after taking a look at them.

Why was he handing those fliers out? What purpose did they serve? A myriad of thoughts raced throught the blondes head.

He walked up to his friend "Hey, Issei what are you doing here? I thought you had a club meeting?" the blonde questioned and Issei felt a slight wave of panic hit him

Issei needed to keep Naruto out of this whole Devil, Angel, supernatural business so he couldn't even give him one of the summoning contracts.

"Ah just handing out some fliers for the Club. It's my first task." Naruto noticed how Issei's eyes shifted, trying to think of some sort of excuse no doubt

"Well what are those for? Maybe I can take one off of you and be a, you know, good friend." Naruto noticed Issei growing even more uncomfortable und his probing looks

"No, no, no." he shook his head quickly to deny Naruto "You see Buchou said not to hand out any to students of Kuoh because that would be just unfair, you know?"

Naruto knew it was a lie and a very bad one at that. He could tell from Issei's defensive posture, shifty eyes and the miniscule drops of sweat on his body.

Before Naruto could press his friend more on the matter he checked and imaginary watch on his wrist "Oh look at the time. Buchou told me not to stay out too long!" he ran past Naruto throwing him a hurried shout of "See you tomorrow."

Naruto frowned. He had not gotten anything out of Issei after all.

'Well, it's not like I wont be gaining anything from this.' he thought to himself with a smirk and walked up to nearby trashcan picking up one of the discarded fliers

Printed on it was a large circle, it took up most of the paper and there were things written around it in a language Naruto could not decipher.

'Some sort of Pentagram maybe?' the blonde tilted his head in confusion, shrugging to himself he pocketed the paper. Maybe he could find out something about it once he was home 'At least the Occult Research Club does its name justice.'


Issei had finally arrived back at the Club Room, slightly out of breath even with his enhanced devil body.

"Back so soon, Issei-kun?" Rias asked her pawn with quite a hint of surprise in her voice, before she noted his exhausted state "Why are you so out of breath?" Her thoughts raced thinking something bad happened "Were you attacked? Are you alright?" she was highly concerned for the newest member of her peerage

Issei raised his hand as he gasped for air "No, no. I wasn't attacked." he eventually spoke, putting Rias at ease

"Then what made you rush back here?" she inquired of her pawn, who looked slightly embarassed

"Err, I met Naruto in town and he asked stuff about those summoning contracts and I remembered you didn't want him to know about things, so I had to tell him a lie but it wasn't a very good one, so I ran back here to make sure I didn't accidentally let anything slip." Issei explained his reasoning to his King

She took a look at Issei's stack of papers which was still considerably big "Well you didn't hand out very many..." she noted with a hint of disappointment "But it is still good that you came back in such a case." suddenly the summoning circle in the room glowed and the white haired loli, Koneko and the blonde haired pretty boy, Kiba, stepped out of it.

"We have confirmed the location of stray devil Viser, Buchou." Kiba reported swiftly "She is holed up in a broken down house on the outskirts of the city."

"Stray Devil?" Issei asked with confusion plastered on his face "What's that?"

If he had been a bit more observant he could have noticed the minor frown on Koneko's face at the mentioning of the word Stray Devil.

"I will explain that momentarily." Rias replied standing up and walking over to the circle, Kiba and Koneko followed suit. She then motioned for Issei to follow up and said brown haired boy joined his two fellow peer members.

"Where is Akeno-senpai?" the perverted boy inquired

"Already on-site. Her first job requires a bit preparation." the red haired devil told her pawn. The transportation circle activated and in a flash of bright light they were standing in front of a large rundown mansion on the outskirt of the city.

The large building had a dark, forboding feeling around it. Non supernatural aware people would likely equate it to somebody having been murdered there, which wasn't far off from the truth but most of it came from the power of the rampant devil that went out of control. It had been permeating the area in a feeling of dread.

"While Akeno is putting up a barrier I will give you an explanation what stray devils are." Rias stated "As you know Devils reincarnate humans and other beings into devils, adding them to their peerage. These devils are in most cases loyal but in some cases their desire for power overcomes their reasoning and they turn on their masters. These devils are what we refer to as Stray Devils. Since this one has taken residence in my territory it falls to my peerage and me to dispose of it. This particular stray isn't very strong but it will serve well for you to learn about what to be expecting fighting as a devil and fighting against them."

Issei nodded soaking up the knowledge as he felt determined to finally get a chance to prove himself.

"The Barrier is standing, Buchou." Akeno stated, suddenly appearing at the side of her King

"Very good, let's go inside now." she took the first steps into the devils den and her peerage followed her


Once inside the building the red head called confidently into the dark of the building "Stray devil Viser, show yourself. You will not escape with your life today."

At first there was rumbling and some of the ground shook and then Issei heard a very feminine voice "I smell something I also smell something delicious.I wonder if it is sweet of if it is sour?"

Suddenly the source of the voice was illuminated as she got closer to the devil peerage.

Issei gaped as he saw the incredible nude breasts even if the lower part of the woman's body belonged more to a large, hairy, four legged beast. She had large, wonderfully formed, human breasts and that was all it took to fry his brain.

"Die and let me devour your flesh!" Viser shouted and rubbed her breasts causing them to suddenly shoot out a stream of some liquid at Issei, who was still too captivated by her boobs to get out of the way.

Suddenly the liquid impacted with a translucent object in front of the boy but the liquid still managed to get through, albeit much weaker. Where previously it would have likely dissolved Issei to his bones it now merely ate away at his clothes.

Akeno looked a bit embarassed"Sorry Issei but Barriers like that are not my strong suit." that got him back into reality as he realized that he was almost naked, which caused him to blush heavily in embarassment

"Pay more attention Issei." Rias admonished her pawn sternly "You can't afford to get distracted that easily in battle by a pair of breasts."

"I'm sorry buchou." Issei apologized in deep shame at his action or rather inaction

"Now pay good attention Issei." she told him and the small Koneko charged towards the hulking stray

"Koneko is a rook..." Rias began to explain and was interrupted by a shout of "I will crush you." from the Stray Devil, which stomped down on the cute loli who was completely unfazed and caught the offending limb with absolute ease much to Issei's surprise "A rooks strong attributes are Power and Defense."

The small white haired devil threw the much larger stray onto her back.

"Next is Kiba." A gleaming blade of metal grasped tightly in the boys hands, briefly Issei wondered where Kiba pulled the sword from when his musings were interrupted by a shrill cry of pain. In a single slice and many spurts of blood Kiba had cut of multiple of her legs.

"Kiba is a knight. Knights excell in agility."

The next thing that happened was a lightning bolt strike the stray out of nowhere elicting another cry of pain from it.

"Akeno is my Queen." again and again and again bolts of lightning struck the devil without killing it but inflicting the most amount of pain "A Queen has all the strengths of a Bishop,Knight and Rook."

"Ufufufu." Akeno laughed and shivered as her face showed her in pure pleasure"Cry more for me in pain cute little devil." As the stray was shocked again and again.

"And Akeno is also the 'Ultimate Sadist.'" Rias told the newest member of her peerage

Issei gaped. Gone was the polite Himejima Akeno he knew, the beautiful 'Lady' and instead there was a monster of a sadist. For a single instant Issei feared for his life.

"P-please, kill me." the stray devil begged Rias and with a single blast of her Power of Destruction she wiped the Stray out

"What piece am I?" Issei managed to finally ask

"You are a pawn, Issei." she answered him and the boy seemed visibly deflated at being the 'weakest' of all pieces


Meanwhile Naruto was sitting inside of his room, trying to find out the purpose behind the piece of paper.

"Maybe it has some sort of activation phrase?" he asked himself and began to tentatively try things out, even if it seemed nonsensical to him

"By the Power of Greyskull?"

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good?"

"Open sesame?"

"Abracadabra?"

"I invoke you Shenlong to grant my wish?"

"Infury frostaris sedaa?"

Again no reaction at all. Naruto sighed "At least it was worth a try." he fell back on his bed not that he had great hope on it working but recently the things that seemed to be the most illogical seemed to at least make the most sense, so he had decided to start there.

"Wait, maybe kaa-san can translate whatever language this is!"

He had decided to ask her over dinner. As the mother and son were enjoying their meal Naruto pulled out the slip of paper.


"What's that?" Kushina asked suspiciously as she eyed the piece of paper in her sons hands. She glared slightly at him "Is that a note from your teachers? Did you get in trouble at school again? That better not be the case, young man!"

"No, not at all, kaa-san." he tried to calm her down and handed her the piece of paper "It's some kind of flier Issei handed out for the Occult Research Club in the city and I can't read whats written on it. It's some kind of strange language maybe you are able to translate it."

Kushina's eyes perked up as they shone with curiosity. She took a look at the summoning contract her eyes shifting from curiosity to confusion and finally settled on determination.

"Don't worry let your mother take care of that." the red haired mother said with confidence that she could translate this alien text "I'll be glad to help you solve your little mystery."

Her son gave her a quick thank you along with a smile and she would make sure not to disappoint him.


The next day Naruto had decided to follow Issei again should he be outside of the club house as that seemed to be the most effective way to gain more information.

When he had met Issei at the gate the boy had seemed like he had not caught even an ounce of sleep last night. His shoulders were slumped, large rings hung beneath his eyes and every few moments Issei released large yawns.

"Hello, Issei." Naruto greeted his friend energetically "You look like you did not sleep well."

Issei snorted "Yeah you can say that again." he muttered tiredly and seemed to almost fall asleep on the spot

"Any particular reason why?" Naruto interrogated the wielder of the Longinus gear hoping he would slip up in his sleep deprived state.

Issei knew he couldn't tell Naruto the actual reason so he told him something that came very close "Bad Dream." he stated flatly hoping that would appease the blondes curiosity

"Like what kind of bad?" Naruto asked before deciding to tease the perverted boy "Were you beaten up by girls you were caught peeping on?"

"No, I almost died by boobs." Issei shook his head at the thought. That was not what boobs were meant for! He inwardly cried at the heresy. Boobs were meant to be ogled, fondled, groped and sucked on! They weren't meant to shoot dangerous boob acid that dissolved stuff. He had to thank Akeno if she had not put up a barrier to shield him from the worst effects more than just his pride would have been wounded and he would have lost more than merely his clothes.

"I thought suffocating in breasts was one of your favorite dreams?" Naruto mocked the pervert laughing at the boys mild misery

"I wish, man, I wish it was that!" Issei almost screamed despite his tiredness and Naruto saw some kind of desperation and fear(?) in Issei's eyes "It was nothing like that. There was this naked chick and suddenly her boobs start shooting acid at me that almost dissolved me!"

Naruto was stumped. He certainly had not expected that and he was certain that he was making a good impression of a fish as he gaped at Issei's story with a look on his face that told onlookers that he really doubted what he had heard.

"What kind of drugs were you on Issei?" the blonde commented completely bewildered "You really need to cut down on the hentai before you go to sleep."

Issei groaned at that comment "Don't even start with those comments."

The reason he had been awake so long after the fight was that he had spent all his time looking at proper, non acid shooting boobs to cleanse his mind of the memory.

He had half a mind to file a complaint to the Erogami for the misuse of boobs.

Naruto shook his head at his perverted friend and tried not to think too hard about whatever strange dreams he had.

"Come on and lets get inside." Naruto motioned for Issei to follow him" At least then you can fall asleep at your desk instead of out here on the street."

Issei accepted that reasoning gratefully however he of course had been admonished by multiple teachers to not be sleeping during class.


After school Naruto hid outside of the school gates lying in wait to see if Issei would leave for another task.

It didn't take long for Naruto to spot the brown haired boy on a bicycle pedalling to who knows where.

Issei wasn't the most physical fit person but even Naruto was surprised with, which ease he had been able to follow the bike riding boy. He didn't know whether to feel disappointed in Issei's physical capabilities or to be impressed with his own.

Issei had entered an apartment of a guy Naruto didn't know and he didn't know what kind of connection he had to Issei or the Occult Research Club.

From the shouts he soon heard coming out of the building he could gather that the other guy had been a huge Dragonball fan. As the two had been arguing, rather loudly, about the best fight, best character, best villain, best attack and many things more.

But considering their similar interest their meeting had ended on a good note as both were laughing at the end of it.

The second person Issei had visited Naruto found to be beyond creepy. It was a huge man, Naruto was very sure that he was a bodybuilder of some kind, but the man referred to himself as Mil-tan and ended his sentences on Nyo. He wore a pink frillish magical girl outfit and a pair of Nekomimi ears.

He was demanding from Issei to turn him into a real magical girl.

'My god what kind of nutjob is that guy?' Naruto thought in abject horror and decided, for the sake of his sanity, to go home.

'The closest way home is through the park.' Naruto realized he really didn't want to go through there considering that is where Amano Yuuma had disappeared but if he didn't want to invoke his mothers wrath for coming too late home he would have to hurry through the park


The park was pretty devoid of anyone there. For some reason during nights even bums and hobos steered clear of it, nobody knew why. Perhaps it was the large number of eerie trees planted all around, or the way the moonlight reflected off the fountain in the centre.

Nobody could fathom why but at least it served to be distraction free.

He was quite certain that if Mittelt was still somewhere in the city, although he hadn't seen her yesterday for which he was thankful, she wouldn't be here...and she wasn't but somebody else was.

"Hey, you, shithead!" somebody called from behind him and Naruto turned around to see a white haired boy in clerical clothing

'What's with the cosplay getup?' Naruto thought with a sweatdrop, ignoring the insult for now "What do you want cosplay freak?" the blonde retorted in annoyance

"Hahahahaha..." the white haired boy seemed to laugh as if Naruto had told the funniest joke he had ever heard before the laughter became deranged and insane "Please die you shitty devil lover!" A shining bright blade shone in his hand as the white haired cosplayer had closed the distance between him and Naruto in a few mere instaces.

Naruto's eyes widened as the weapon came downward in a high arc and he jumped back in a reflex to avoid being killed.

'He's fast.' Naruto realized 'Faster than anyone I've ever seen...if I wasn't fast myself he would have cut me in half.'

"Why wouldn't you stand still you shitty devil lover?" the white haired boy asked him as if Naruto shouldn't have done that "Dying is fun, I promise! I wouldn't know though, you'd have to ask all the shitty devils and devil lovers I've killed."

'This guy is entirely insane.' Naruto cursed under his breath as he kept dodging the wild swings 'At least he only seems to care about spilling my blood because his attacks haven't been very accurate.'

But Naruto had to be very careful. The lightsaber, for it resembled very much the weapon of the star wars franchise as all it had was a hilt from which emerged a non metallic beam of energy, would likely cut him into pieces very, very easily.

Also, unlike all of the thugs and scum that had tried to use weapons on him before, this guy at least somewhat seemed to know what he was doing and Naruto suspected that if the guy fought for real and not with his blood lust he would be even more of formidable foe.

Naruto breathed steadily in and out as the priest cosplayer charged once again towards him. Naruto settled for a tightly guarded stance offering the smallest ammount of contact surface possible.

The jedi imitator once again swung his light saber down on Naruto from top right to down left. Naruto dodged, counter to the swords arc to the right and would have given the boy a few well placed jabs to his right side had the sword wielder not jumped away, creating a abit of space between them.

Freed grinned. At first he had just taken a stroll because those shitty fallen angels, mostly that bitch Mittelt and Raynare, wanted him out of the church for this evening. He decided that if he came across any shitty devils or devil lovers he would kill them, even if he was a bit annoyed they had taken his exorcist gun, some bullshit about attracting too much attention.

Fucking bitches just wanted to ruin his fun.

It had been a dull evening as he did not encounter a single person but then his luck turned. Some blonde haired shit head had come close to him and he could feel the faint presence of devil on him, it was very, very faint. And would have likely faded in a matter of hours, lucky for Freed he been close enough to rat this filthy devil lover out. He would serve well to sate his blood lust but then this shitty devil lover fought back! It was wonderful! He would savour this fight to the very end.

Naruto waited patiently as going on the offense as a hand to hand user against a weapon user, considering both of their respective skill levels, was stupid.

The insane priest pretender charged once more towards him and this time Naruto noted that he was just a bit faster than before.

He still managed to dodge the flurry of slashes until he saw his opening and grabbed the other boys wrist mid slash. The full strength of the arm came down on Naruto and he strained to keep the wrist in place. While not fast, he put multiple slow but powerful punches straight into the priest midsection however his adversary seemed to be completely unaffected by it and the grip on his wrist seemed to weaken. So Naruto let go and in the same instant gave the guy a swift and hard kick sending him staggering back.

"Yes, yes. Let us keep going you shitty devil lover!" the cosplay fanatic roared out in mad pleasure "Make me savour every bit of this fight, so that I can enjoy cutting you down to the fullest."

Freed got ever faster as he attacked Naruto. With each combination of strikes the priest seemed to get faster and Naruto had been sure he would not be able to keep this up in the long run.

However for some reason he had been able to keep up with the priest. He could clearly differentiate each of his individual attacks where previously it seemed like mere blurs, his speed seemed to match the guys own.

Despite every now and then being able to land a quick counter attack the cosplay freak was insanely tough or maybe his insanity just made him not care about the injuries and pain he sustained.

At any rate Naruto was not sure who would first reach his limit... he hoped it wasn't him.

Finally Freed had enough. He had not been able to spill a single drop of blood from that shitty devil lovers body. It had been infuriating that the guy had been a much more skilled fighter than many of the shitty devils he killed.

"I don't know how you've been able to keep up with me you little fuck but I will cut you down." the insane priest threatened the glint of insanity in his eyes intensifying

Once more Naruto saw him charge for an attack and he felt that if he kept attacking like that it would only get easier to dodge and retaliate the only thing he was not sure of was how long he could keep this going.

This was the first time since, forever basically, that Naruto had to fight this hard for what was his life.

The white haired priest came closer and closer and suddenly completely unexpected he had thrown a small pellet with his free hand.

Naruto tried to swat it away but upon contact with his skin the pellet burst open releasing white smoke into the air.

Naruto coughed heavily as he breathed the unexpected substance in and his eyes watered from the sudden influx of particles.

'Fuck a smokebomb.' Naruto cursed inwardly he had been so focused on the fight and dodging the swordsman that he had not considered if he had any other type of weapon or paraphernalia on him.

Much to his own detriment he realized. He heard the soft humming of the energy sword come closer and he could see the blade come down upon him, much too late to dodge.

'I need to get out of the way. I really need to get out of the way of this somehow.' Naruto thought with pure desperation and something inside of him cracked, he felt some kind of energy well up inside of him and fill him with a strange serene warmth, almost as if it was meant to be, as if it was a missing piece that had been missing from him.

In the wake of the sudden influx of energy he felt a pull on his body, a sudden rush of movement and then he found himself staring at the cloud of smoke from outside of it.

He didn't know how he had done it but suddenly he heard the sword cut through something followed by a crash and clattering wood.

As the smoke cleared Naruto saw that the thing the other boy had cut in half was a parkbench, much to both of their surprise and Naruto realized that he stood in the same spot the bench had previously stood in.

'Did I switch places with it?' he asked himself in mild confusion but decided not to dwell on it for now, he had a fight to win

"What kind of bullshit are you pulling you cocksucking shitstain?" the white haired boy shouted curses at him

Freed was sure that the guy he had fought was no devil. He had no trace of devil magic in him just, on him. He was also confident that he wasn't a human mage as he wouldn't have kept his magic for this long into the fight.

Freed thought that it was maybe a sacred gear but he didn't notice any special item on his opponent either.

"No matter. This was a one time save. Prepare to die!" the white haired boy shouted with renewed vigor and tried to carve the blonde into pieces.

Naruto dodged and for some reason he overshot the dodge by quite a margin.

He somehow felt stronger than he ever had. Flexing his fingers he felt the strength surge through him.

'Time for some pacback!' with increased speed Naruto found himself weaving around the flurry of blade strikes with almost complete ease. He delivered a jab to the maniacs midsection, sending the guys keeling forward in pain. He added a slew of hits on top of that for good measure and enjoyed seeing his enemy in pain. Then he gave the white haired boy an uppercut sending him flying a good distance.

Freed growled as his felt blood flowing from his nose and into his mouth. He spat out a glob of blood.

'Shit that hurt...' he cursed and hated that it wasn't the devil lover's blood that was spilled but his own 'Well it's nothing that fucking nun can't fix once she gets here tomorrow.'

He saw the blond stalking towards him, coiled and ready to dodge, to strike, to attack.

Freed grimaced. He would have to retreat for now, no matter how little he liked that but it was better than getting beaten.

"See ya later, fuckface." Freed growned out and threw two pellets on the ground

One exploded in blinding white light that hurt Naruto's eyes while the other one covered the white haired boys escape with smoke.

Naruto supposed he could hunt the guy down if he wanted, hurt as he was but what reason was there to? If the guy fought him again he would lose, much worse than now.

Besides he should really be getting home, he didn't know how much time he had wasted fighting that guy.

Also there was the matter of the strange power that now filled his body to the brim.

It felt like a natural part of him, like it always belonged there. He had felt it suffuse his whole body during the fight. It made him stronger, faster, tougher. He also guessed that it was this power that had allowed him to switch places with the park bench and he desired to know how it had done that and what else it could do.

'Suddenly...' he thought 'Stuff like Magic doesn't seem so far fetched after all.'


He had gotten home much later than he should have and knew he was going to get another talking to.

As he opened his door his mother stood already waiting in front of it some anger rolling off of her.

"Uzumaki Naruto!" she called him even though he stood right in front of her "Where have you been?"

"I er ummm..." he faltered under her stern gaze and eventually hung his head in defeat "I was in the park...fighting."

She growled in anger "Didn't I tell you to no longer get into any fights?" she asked him knowing what the answer was "So tell me who was it this time?"

"Err it was some kind of insane guy in priest cosplay and he had this sword..." Naruto tried to explain but his mother frowned at him

"That doesn't seem very believable." she spoke in irritation has some of her red tresses whipped around her in fury "I believed you last time because I know about that gang you mentioned but this time...For lying to me you will go straight to your room."

Naruto knew better than to argue with that "Yes, kaa-san."

He walked the stairs up to his room and laid down on his bed. Tomorrow he would take his time to see what this power of his would be able to do.
