Chapter 4


ORC ROOM

"WHAT?!"

Rias shouted at what she just heard from Irina and Xenovia. She was at a loss of words.

She had been in a meeting with the two and they sounded as if they were going to ask to join her peerage. But only now did they reveal they wanted to be in Naruto's peerage. The only problem was he didn't have one…

Speaking of Naruto, she finally noticed his appearance.

"Naruto, what happened to you?" Rias questioned as she looked at the familiar markings on his body and his yellow eyes.

This also caught the attention of the current occupants of the room. Akeno picking up the cups that they just drank tea from. Kiba standing in the corner of the room. And Asia sitting in the spot next to Koneko's usual seat on the couch.

"I'm… not really sure. Just woke up like this." Naruto answered. It wasn't really a lie. He knew it had to do something with using his Balance Breaker before he was ready as Hao explained. But that was as far as he knew. He needed to ask his sleeping tenants about this once they woke up.

Rias stared at Naruto with a calculating eye, looking for any signs of deceit. When she saw him pondering his own answer she knew he really had no clue what was wrong.

"Okay." Rias accepted his answer. She then turned to Irina and Xenovia. "I'm sure Naruto would be glad to add you to his peerage but he doesn't have one." Rias explained.

Before she could continue, Naruto spoke.

"That is where you are wrong. I actually have my own set of evil pieces. In fact I already have two members with me." He gestured to Kuroka. "My Bishop," he then gestured to Ravel, "And my Queen."

Those words froze the occupants in the room besides those who already knew. No one had expected Naruto to say that. Or even for him to get his own peerage before taking part in an official Rating game.

"W-when? H-how?" Rias stuttered out.

"The meeting I had with Sirzechs." Naruto answered. "The Satan's are finally grow a backbone and changing up the way the Underworld runs things. Specifically when it comes to promoting devils to High Class rank." Naruto explained.

"They no longer care how many contracts or chores we do. They are taking in one's skill level and overall talent. The first devil to undergo this new change is me." He continued. "And probably the biggest change and one that many of the newer generations devils will disagree with is this: Any devil born of the seventy-two pillars is no longer granted the rank of High-class and a peerage without undergoing various tests similar to those of reincarnated devils for those rights." Naruto explained.

"D-does that mean…" Rias couldn't finish her question as fear overtook her.

"No. Any devil from the pillars already granted the rank of High-class and a peerage will remain as they are as it will take years to take back all the evil pieces used and possibly cause another civil war." Rias let out the breath she was holding in relief. "They don't want an incidence like Riser, a High-class, humiliated by me as I was a 'Low-class' devil at the time."

Rias was happy at the new changes. She knew that she probably wouldn't have had her peerage, she still would have taken them in if she could. This also made it easier for reincarnated devils to get promoted without a bias for them being a 'half-breed' or 'impure' devil. She widened her eyes as she realized what getting a new peerage meant.

Naruto saw the look of realization on her face and spoke before she did.

"Yes, I have my own peerage so that comes with new responsibilities." Naruto started. "I am still part of your peerage so I will still be there when you need me for Rating games and such. But I must now work on building my peerage and handling my duties as a King."

Rias was saddened by this. She knew that he had to uphold duties a a King but she didn't want him to leave. Ever since her brother adopted him they were never apart for long. But now he seemed to get even more distant and it was all her own doing.

She wanted to tell him to stay but knew the way to earn his forgiveness and friendship was to let him be.

"I understand." Rias said sadly. "But where are you going to have your meetings. If you want, you can have them here." Rias said hoping he would accept.

"Thank you for the offer but I already have a place for my peerage. " Naruto said. He then turned to walk out with Kuroka and Ravel following. He took a step before a pull on his shirt stopped him.

He turned and looked at who pulled his shirt and saw it was Koneko. She still had his shirt in her hand as she had her head down. Naruto knew what she wanted.

He embraced her in a loving hug. She immediately returned it and Naruto felt her Rook strength in the hug.

Naruto then leaned down to her ear and whispered something that only Kuroka was able to gear. Koneko nodded and released him while Kuroka had a loving smile on her face. She was happy her sister was able to find someone special after all she's been through.

"I'll see you later Koneko." Naruto said. He then turned to Irina and Xenovia. "As for your request, follow me and we can discuss this further." They nodded and followed behind his Queen and Bishop.

As Naruto went to open the door, Issei walked through it.

"Sorry I'm late buchou. My alarm didn't go off." Issei said before he noticed Naruto and the others in the room.

Issei pointed a finger at Ravel but before Issei could shout, Naruto put a hand on his shoulder. Issei winced at the pressure Naruto was using to squeeze his shoulder.

"She is my Queen now so don't worry bout a thing." Naruto said in a dark tone. "Also, if I were you I would save that energy. I mean, killing a rogue exorcist like Freed must be taxing on you."

Issei looked at him dumbfounded.

"I didn't kill him! He got away while you were fighting that crow guy! He was the one who kicked our asses even with one arm!"

Naruto smirked. That was all he needed to hear. Issei had just signed his own death warrant.

"I'll be off. I'll leave him to you, Rias." Naruto said before he and his peerage, plus Irina and Xenovia, left the clubroom.

"What did he mean… by… that… buchou?" Issei said with slight fear at the frown on Rias' face that showed she was angry. The sadistic smile that Akeno had just fueled Issei's uneasiness.

He looked at Kiba and Koneko for support only to see one eating sweets already and the other reading pretending not to notice anything.

He turned to Asia and found her staring at her feet with a pondering look on her face.

He turned back to Rias as she spoke.

"Now Issei, do you care to tell me why you lied to me?" Rias questioned.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Oh nothing major. Just about how you told us that you killed the rogue exorcist Freed at the church the night we saved Asia." Rias informed him

That was when realization dawned on Issei and he knew he screwed up.

"W-well I-I…"

"It doesn't matter. What does matter is your punishment." He shivered as he heard Akeno giggle.

"First, you will now do some contracts from our piles. If you do not at least form one new contract a week, you will get double the amount than before." He nodded. "Second, you will now be responsible for cleaning the clubroom and helping Akeno in anything she needs help with."He nodded albeit a bit fearfully as Akeno had an evil glint in her eye.

"And finally, no more peeping."

"WHAT!? You can't do that to me buchou! I need to in ord-"

"ENOUGH!" Rias yelled flaring her aurora shocking Asia and Issei as they weren't use to it yet.

"I have tolerated your behavior in the past but this is now ridiculous. Do you not realize that you were almost killed?! If Naruto hadn't shown up when he did, Kokabiel would have killed us all. He was one of the leaders of Grigori for a reason." Issei put his head down.

"So, instead of spending your free time peeping on girls, you will be training. Aleno will training you in magic while Kiba works on your physique." Issei nodded at this. "And if we find you peeping again, well you won't be allowed to leave this room until the rest of the school is gone."

Issei paled at what she said. He wouldn't be able to see his friends or worse, any girls at all!

He quickly nodded agreeing with what Rias said.

"Good. Now, we have an hour before school starts so you guys are free to do what you need." Rias said as she returned to her desk filing away contracts.


With Naruto

"Here it is." Naruto said to the others as they walked up to an older looking building.

"This used to be the the pool room for the swim team but they no longer use it as they built the newer one by the pool lockers."

They looked around and saw the pool less than a hundred feet away. Some of the fence surround the pool connected to the other side of the building. They then looked at the building.

It was an older one story building. It was about as old as the ORC room but had dust as it hadn't been used in the last couple of years.

Naruto walked to the door and pulled out a key for it.

"It hasn't been used in the last five years so it is our responsibility to clean it up." Naruto said as he opened the door.

Upon opening it, dust flew around from the door not being open in so long. When it settled down and they walked in, they were amazed at what they saw.

The interior of the room was white with a tuled floor. There was a couch in the middle of the room facing the wall where you could tell a television was by the wires that dangled from the wall. Behind the couch was a kitchen area with a stove and sink in place. It also had a small bar area with cushioned stools. A gap in between the pantry and the stove indicating that was where a fridge goes. Towards the back of the room was a pool table that was covered with a tarp. The pool cues were hanging on the wall beside it. A corner of the room had enough space for a desk for Naruto. They also noticed the room had an actual bathroom with a shower inside it. The last feature was the big glass sliding doors at the other side of the room. They were covered with with drapes. When Naruto parted them, it revealed a great view of the pool.

"Wow…" said Ravel. For a old dusty building, it was actually quite nice. Just needed some cleaning up. It wasn't anything compared to anything the Underworld had to offer but devils did tend to make everything as perfect as they could to show off.

"Nya, this place is great!" Kuroka said with a grin. She loved that this was next to the pool. She could now and try to seduce Naruto in one of her bikini's.

Irina and Xenovia just looked around impressed that the school was able to afford something of this caliber.

"A little cleaning and this place would look pretty good." Naruto said already thinking of how to set up the room. He turned and looked at the pool. It was a little dirty and small traces of algae could be seen. "Sona also said the pool is ours to use if we clean it till swim season starts up again."

Kuroka smiled while Ravel looked nervous for some reason.

"Naruto-sama. I believe you wished to talk to us." Xenovia said. Naruto turned around and saw her and Irina standing there. Irina with a cheerful smile while Xenovia had a straight face.

"First, you guys are not in my peerage so you have no need to call me 'sama.' Second, do not ever call me 'sama.' I do not deserve that title as I have not earned it. Ravel is the only one that calls me that no matter how many times I tell her to do that. I don't need another person doing that."Ravel blushed at being thrown under the bus like that. Irina nodded while Xenovia had a straight face.

"It is out of respect for my leader, Naruto-sama." Xenovia said in her emotionless tone.

Naruto just sighed.

"You're not going to give up are you?" He asked her. She shook her head. "Alright, call me whatever you like." Naruto threw his hands up in defeat.

"Before we talk, let's clean up first so we have a place to sit." They all nodded before they went out to grab cleaning supplies.

After fifteen minutes of cleaning and a little use of magic, the pool house was all clean.

"Now if you to would take a seat." Naruto motioned them to the stools at the bar in the kitchen. They took their seats while Naruto stood on the opposite side along with Kuroka and Ravel

"Now, why do you two wish to join my Family." Naruto asked.

Irina blushed while Xenovia had a straight face.

"Why would we marry you? We wish to join your peerage unlike those two behind you." Xenovia asked.

Kuroka giggled while Ravel blushed at the thought of being married to Naruto. Naruto just face palmed.

"That is not what I meant." Naruto groaned. "I do not refer Kuroka and Ravel as my servants in my peerage. They are apart of my family. I will never see or treat them as my servants." Kuroka and Ravel smiled at his words. He really did treat them like family.

"So I will ask again. Why do you two wish to join my family?" Xenovia spoke first.

"I have nothing left to fight for. I trained my entire life to be a warrior of God. I don't want to fight for someone who doesn't exist. I have already talked with my caretaker Griselda. She said that it is my decision and she will support me in any way." She reached behind her and pulled out a sword from who knows where. "She has decided to let me keep Durandal if you decide to turn me into a devil."

Naruto nodded. He then turned to Irina for her reason.

"Well, Xenovia is my best friend so wherever she goes, I go!" Irina said cheerfully. Naruto saw through it.

"Lying isn't the best way to convince." Irina looked shocked and was going to speak but Naruto raised his hand for her to speak. "I can see it in your eyes. The look of hurt and betrayal. You constantly asking yourself, 'what was it all for?' I've been there Irina. I know how you feel. I can see that Xenovia is your best friend but that isn't why you are asking to become a devil. So what is it?"

Irina looked down at the countertop.

"I have nothing left. I was taught that God was everything and that everything was determined by him. When we moved, I trained to be an exorcist. I was trained to fight against devils and fallen angels. To prevent their corruption of humans as a part of God's will." She looked up and had tears falling down her face. "To find out that he was dead is upsetting. But I'm furious that the rest of the world has been lied to. I was a firm believer of God as were many. I can deal with him being dead but to lie to the world that God is watching over them is infuriating. I was taught that devils and fallen lie, cheat, and manipulate people, but I now see that Heaven is no different. God truly is dead." Irina said as she cried into her hands. Xenovia placed a hand on her shoulder and offered her a small smile.

"I see." Naruto said. Irina finally got ahold of herself and looked back at Naruto. "I understand how you feel but God isn't dead." Everyone looked at him as if he grew a second head.

"It's people like you that keep God alive. Now God may be the enemy of devils, but I don't care. I also don't care for peace all that much either. As long as we don't instigate anything than we can live freely. But back to what I was saying." Naruto said. "He isn't dead as long as people believe in him and his ideals. Does exist in this world anymore? No. But does his ideals and beliefs do? Yes. As long as people believe in something strong enough then he still lives in their hearts. Just how he lived in yours." Naruto told them.

Irina was touched at his explanation. She was angry at being lied to that she looked past why they did it. While she still didn't like being lied to, she could cut them some slack.

"Will you turn us into devils now Naruto-sama?" Xenovia asked.

"It's not entirely up to me. While I don't trust you completely, having people who strongly followed the church asking to be turned into devils is something I've never heard before." Naruto said. "But, it isn't up to just me. They must also make a decision." He pointed at Kuroka and Ravel. "As I said, we are a family. No one person makes a life changing decision like this without the say of others unless it is under extreme circumstances." They looked over to the other woman in the room.

"Nya~ Such a big decision to make." Kuroka said. "Hmm, well you two are certainly talented with swords. That will certainly be helpful for us. Also, you two are pretty on the eyes." They smiled at the praise. The smile quickly fade however. "I don't like that. You see girls, Naruto-koi is all mine… and maybe Shirone's since we need to repopulate our race after all."

Kuroka went to grab Naruto but his hand up to stop her. She stopped walking forward but let one of her tails sneak around his chest. He grabbed it a bit roughly and removed it from his chest.

"Nya~ You're so rough Naru-koi~" Kuroka sang. Naruto released her tail.

"Stop messing around Kuroka. I need you to make a decision." Kuroka stopped messing around at Naruto's tone.

"Well they certainly are powerful. I also don't sense any deceit in the words. So I don't see why they can't join our lovely family." Kuroka stated.

Naruto nodded and then looked towards Ravel for her answer.

"Well they are excellent swordsman. And Xenovia keeping Durandal would be a great addition for us. They also seem very truthful in wanting to join us. I would say that they would make great additions to our family." Naruto's Queen stated.

Naruto turned back to the girls.

"Well, welcome to the Uzumaki-Lucifuge family." Naruto said. Naruto then extended his arms in a grand fashion.

"And welcome to The Manga Club!"


Start of School

Naruto was walking down the halls with Ravel by his side. He had just reincarnated Irina and Xenovia into Knights and had them stay at their clubroom with Kuroka.

The halls were empty as the first classes of the day have already started.

"Naruto-sama, is this necessary?" Ravel asked nervously. Naruto turned to her.

"Of course ojou-sama." Naruto responded. "You haven't interacted with normal people because of you staying in the Underworld your whole life. I want you to see what it is like to be a normal girl. If you decide to continue with school is entirely up to you. I may not like it but school is the only constant in my life that helps with all the crap that happens in my life." Ravel nodded and continued walking.

They reached the room they were looking for and Naruto knocked on the door.

The door slid open to reveal a redheaded woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. When she saw Naruto and Ravel she nodded and went back in class already being informed of a new student.

From the hallway they could hear the teacher informing her class about a new student.

Ravel was beginning to get nervous again but relaxed when she felt a hand on her shoulder

"Relax. Everything is going to be fine." Naruto told her.

"But what is they don't like me?" Ravel said.

"Then that is their problem. The only people that you should care about liking you is your family and we all love you." Naruto said with one of his small rare smiles. Ravel blushed at his words. "Plus, there is someone in this class that will look out for you. Just… don't take her teasing to heart. She doesn't mean any harm." Naruto said.

Before Ravel could question who this person was, the teacher called her in.

When she walked in, all eyes were glued to her. She heard multiple whispers throughout the classroom.

From being called cute to beautiful. She heard someone saying she was going to be schools princess.

"Why don't you introduce yourself?" The teacher asked.

"My name is Ravel Phenex. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Please be kind to me." Ravel said.

"Thank you. Now, any questions for Ms. Phenex?" Multiple hands shot up. The teacher pointed a girl towards the front.

"Where did you come from?"

"I actually didn't live that far away from here. I just moved closer to the school." Ravel half lied. She technically didn't live far as she could just teleport from the Underworld.

There were a multitude of questions from what she liked to what her hobbies were. One question made her blush uncontrollably.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Came the question from a girl in the back.

Ravel blushed up a storm at being asked that.

"Y-yes… N-no… it's complicated." Was Ravel's indecisive answer. She blushed as she remembered the contract her parents made with Sirzechs regarding a certain blond.

The class was in an uproar. The girls were gushing at Ravel's cuteness while the guys were complaining that another girl was taken.

"That's enough class." The teacher said. "Ravel have a seat in the back over there." Ravel looked where she pointed and saw an empty seat. The only thing she could see next to it was a mop of white hair behind one of the students.

She walked down the aisle and took her seat.

"Now class, today we will be learning…" Ravel started to take out her school supplies. She froze when she heard the person who had the white hair speak to her.

"Yakitori."

Ravel's eyebrow twitched as she now realized who Naruto was talking about.


Manga Club

Naruto sat on the couch in his club room. He was waiting for Ravel to get here as school had just ended.

He looked around the room at the occupants in the room. Kuroka and Irina were playing pool. By the sounds of things Kuroka was losing by her whining and pouting. He looked towards the kitchen and saw Xenovia sitting at the bar cleaning Durandal.

The door opened which got Naruto's attention.

In walked Ravel who looked extremely fatigued. She dragged her feet towards the couch where Naruto sat and fell face first losing all the gracefulness that made her look like a princess.

"How was your first day of school?" Naruto asked her.

The rest of his family joined them on the couch. Kuroka sitting very close to Naruto, practically on his lap. Irina and Xenovia sat towards the end of the couch.

"Mmmph!" Ravel grunted with her face in a pillow still laying down.

"I know it was boring but you kinda get used to it… okay not really but at least you got to socialize." Naruto tried to cheer her up.

"HHHHMMMMM!"

"Really? She went right for the 'grilled chicken' comment when she saw you? Didn't think she would do that on your first day." Naruto said.

The other three women were shocked that Naruto was understanding the noises that Ravel made. Naruto noticed their confusion and explained it to them.

"I lived with Koneko for the past couple of years. She hardly says complete sentences so noises and sounds are kinda my specialty." Naruto explained as they just nodded at that. It seemed reasonable as they all knew how Koneko talked.

"Mmph!" Ravel said.

"Don't worry. Tomorrow is Saturday and there isn't much to do so you can relax. We won't be working on new contracts until next week." Naruto informed them. "We are actually going to clean the pool and relax or swim tomorrow. Whichever you prefer." Something that they were relieved since Irina and Xenovia were just reincarnated today and Kuroka and Ravel were tired from the work they did in the Underworld.

The front door to the clubroom opened alerting everyone. When they looked to see who it was they saw Koneko standing in the doorway.

Koneko herself was looking around at the occupants in the room. She saw Naruto on the couch with the rest of his peerage. She saw Ravel's head looking just above the back of the couch looking at her. She a aw Kuroka sitting awfully close to Naruto. Then she saw the former exorcists on the other side of the couch. She mentally groaned at the addition of big chested girls hanging around Naruto.

"Yakitori."

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Ravel screamed at Koneko.

Kuroka, Irina, and even Xenovia giggled at their little banter. It all stopped as they heard someone chuckling. Even Koneko and Ravel stopped their glaring at one another to look at the person chuckling.

Naruto couldn't hold in his amusement as he started chuckling at their interactions. At his family's interactions. He actually felt happy and satisfied with the way things were going. While Koneko isn't apart of his family with his evil pieces, she was just as important if not more than anyone else. So to see her get along with them so well was enlightening for Naruto.

The girls were shocked and blushing at Naruto laughing. They were shocked as they never once heard Naruto laugh in the time spent with him. The last time Koneko heard him laugh was before they came to the human world for the first time when Naruto and Milicas pranked Sirzechs.

They also had blushes as his laugh was pleasing to their ears. It made them a little uncomfortable and not in a bad way. If Irina and Xenovia weren't so upset with Heaven, they would have called Naruto's laugh angelic.

Naruto finally stopped laughing although he had an actual smile on his face, not one of the small ones that he uses rarely. This did nothing to help the already blushing girls as their blushes darkened.

"Alright then. I guess it's time to go home." Naruto said once he stopped laughing. They soon began to make their way towards his home.

"Naruto-sama." Naruto looked over at Xenovia. "Where will Irina and I be staying?"

"With me of course." Naruto swore he heard two people growling behind him. "You're family so you are always welcome to stay with me. You two can stay with me however long you want to."

"Not enough room." Koneko said. Naruto face palmed at his stupidity. He only had two rooms in his house if you didn't count his storage room downstairs.

"Well Kuroka stayed with you last night so if you don't mind sharing again Koneko?" Koneko nodded. She didn't like it because it just meant those cow tit girls were going to be staying close to Naruto. "Great. And you three," He pointed at Irina, Ravel, and Xenovia. "You guys can stay in my bed. I'll sleep on the pull out couch in the living room then."

"I-I can stay w-with you Naruto-sama." Stuttered Ravel.

"It's fine Ravel. You can have my bed. It will fit all three of you fine." Naruto assured her.

"A-as your Queen, I should be by your side at all times. It is a Queen's duty to be by her King." Ravel argued.

"So you're okay sleeping with me then?" Naruto said missing the innuendo that he just said. The girls blushed heavily besides two glaring neko sister's.

"As long as it is just sleeping, then it will be fine." Ravel said with a cherry-red face.

Naruto just shrugged as they finally reached his home.

"Cozy." Was what the former exorcists said before Naruto ushered them inside.


Next Morning

After they had reached Naruto's home, the girls each took turns in the showers. After Naruto finished his, he started on breakfast.

After dinner, they all went to where they were staying for the night. Four girls staying upstairs and him and Ravel sleeping on the pullout bed in the living room. This was where Naruto woke up.

"N-Naruto-sama. Wake up." Ravel whisper yelled.

Naruto didn't want to get up and promptly pulled his body pillow tighter against him.

"N-N-Naruto-sama!" Ravel whispered louder.

Naruto put his face in his pillow and nuzzled into it. He breathed in a sweet smell. It smelled like… strawberries. He took in a big whiff of the smell of strawberries. He moved his hand up to get more comfortable and found a spot that seemed to have more cushion. He grabbed that spot and pulled his pillow closer.

The moment he heard a moan, alarms went off in his head. He opened his eyes and was met with a vision of blonde hair. He quickly realized his predicament and jumped out of bed.

"I'm so sorry Ravel. I didn't mean to do that!" Naruto quickly apologized.

"I-it's fine. A Queen should always please her King." Ravel said with a red face.

"No they shouldn't. I'm sorry to say but your brother is not a King you should look up to. He is someone who abuses the peerage system to make having a harem easier." Naruto explained.

Ravel nodded at that. He was only interested in the peerage system to get beautiful women to sleep with him. She still loved him as he was her brother though.

"I forgive you Naruto-sama."

"No. It can't be that easy. Please let me make it up to you.." Naruto insisted. Ravel thought about it for a second before she figured out what she wanted.

"Well, could you…"


School Pool

Naruto and his peerage stood at the edge of the empty pool. Koneko wasn't there due to Rias making them train more. He had opened the drain to the pool the day before as school was ending before Ravel got to the clubroom.

The pool wasn't to bad. Some algae here and there. Leaves and some other trash littered the empty pool.

Naruto was wearing athletic shorts and a tank top showing off his defined muscles. His black marks and yellow eyes still present. He still hasn't heard anything from Hao or Ddraig.

The girls were wearing shorts similar to the ones that runners would wear along with white t-shirts.

"Nya~ let's get started!" Kuroka said readying her magic.

"No magic." Naruto said. They all looked at him with confused looks. "This is a team bonding exercise as much as a relaxing activity. We work together to clean the pool."

They nodded and got to work. Naruto went to scrub the algae off the walls while Ravel would hose off where he scrubbed to get anything he missed. Irina and Xenovia picked up the trash in and around the pool. Kuroka was cleaning the diving board and chairs.

It took about an hour before everything was clean, but the time was well worth it. The pool looked as if it had just been installed the day before.

They all stood by the edge admiring their work.

"Well, Kuroka if you would do the honors." Naruto said breaking the silence.

"With pleasure~" Kuroka said.

She gathered up magic and put her arms in front of her. A sealing matrix appeared above the pool and gallons of water came spilling out. A couple of minutes later and the pool was filled with clear, sparkling water.

"Alright then. You guys can go change into something you like and are free to use the pool however you like… yes you have to wear at least a swimsuit Kuroka." Naruto sighed at the last bit he said when Kuroka raised her hand.

With that said, they went to the locker rooms and got changed.

Naruto was the first back and wore dark blue swim trunks with an orange lining. He was moving some of the chairs together just incase the girls wanted to lay down and relax or tan.

Naruto stopped what he was doing as he heard foot steps. He turned and saw a sight that would have hospitalized the perverted trio.

Ravel was wearing the most modest swimsuit of the four. It was a pink two piece swimsuit with white polkadots on it. It showed off her breasts well but still kept her modest look. It also let him see her more curvaceous figure that her regular attire didn't.

Irina was wearing a white two piece swimsuit. It was a normal swimsuit except for the fact that her breasts made it seem as if it was about to rip.

Xenovia was wearing something he would have never guessed. She was wearing a green two piece with gold straps. (Same as Canon)

Kuroka was wearing the most obscene swimsuit however. She was wearing a gold two piece. The top only had small triangles to cover Kuroka's arreola's leaving little to the imagination. Her bottom was also gold but only covered her front just enough to show that she waxed. It was held by the thinnest strings around her waist. The back hardly covered her plump rear.

"Nya~ See something you like Naruto-koi?" Kuroka said seductively.

The others blushed as Naruto eyed them.

"You girls look beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to have any of you." Naruto said honestly.

Kuroka lost her playfulness at his words and blushed along with the others.

"I-I forgot something!" Ravel said as she ran back to the locker rooms.

"Okay then. Well, enjoy the pool girls" Naruto said.

"Yahoo!" Irina exclaimed as she ran on the diving board and jumped in the pool.

Kuroka and Xenovia went to the chairs that Naruto had moved closer to where they were at. Naruto was about to jump in until Kuroka called him over.

"Would you mind rubbing some tanning lotion on my back Naruto-koi~" Kuroka seductively said.

Naruto rolled his eyes at her but complied nonetheless. Kuroka laid on her stomach and undid her top straps.

"Make sure to rub it in really good~" Naruto ignored her as he put some tanning lotion on his hands and kneeled behind her.

"NYA!" Kuroka yelped as the cold lotion along with Naruto's strong hands made contact with her skin.

Naruto began to rub the lotion along her back. He was actually enjoying the way her soft and supple skin felt against his hands.

"N-Naruto-sama, can we begin now?" Naruto turned to Ravel.

When he turned he saw she had arm floaties and an inflatable duck around her waist. He was a bit taken back at what he saw.

"Umm, what's with the floaties?" Naruto questioned. The others wanted to know also.

"W-Well I didn't want to drown and I read that these help."

"It's fine but you don't need them. I have this." Naruto pulled out a small board that lifeguards carried. "This will help you until you get the hang of it."

With that, Naruto got up and jumped into the pool much to Kuroka's disappointment. Ravel took off her floaties and neared the edge of the pool.

She couldn't jump into the water. Even with Naruto there to catch her. Her being a Phenex and being part of a clan of Fire was a big issue when it came to water. Sure getting wet or drinking water wasn't an issue but she has never been in a pool before. Hence why she asked Naruto to teach her how to swim in return for the interesting morning they had.

"Jump in Ravel. I'll catch you." Naruto told her. She hesitated for a moment before she jumped in.

She started to panic until she felt Naruto's arms around her.

"See that wasn't so bad, was it?" She shook her head. "Great. Now grab onto this." He moved the the board in front of her. She grabbed it and Naruto started to pull her.

"Kick your feet, Ravel." Naruto said as they went back and forth in the pool. Irina joined them and ended up helping Naruto teach Ravel.

"So, what's do you think of Naruto?" Kuroka asked the blue haired girl next to her.

"He is a strong man. Definitely smart also he is compassionate to those who he sees as family." Xenovia said. Kuroka agreed with her but turned sour when Xenovia continued.

"He will be an excellent father for my powerful children." Xenovia said.

"Is that why you joined his peerage?" Kuroka asked dangerously.

"Isn't that why you joined his?" Xenovia shot back.

"That's… it's… complicated." Kuroka said. "He... asked me to join in order to keep me close to Shirone, my sister. When he first asked I thought he was just looking for powerful peerage members or starting a harem. But he did it for my sister. He had no evil intentions in mind and him taking me in cleared my crimes with the Satans. So, I fell for him after spending all this time with him." Kuroka explained.

"I see." Xenovia said. "I haven't spent much time with him but can tell he is a loving individual. I can't say I love him now because I don't. But I can come to love him. Plus, him being as powerful as he is, he will bring me great children." Xenovia said.

"To answer your question, I did not join to have his children although that would be great. I joined because he is a strong fighter and seems to be upfront and truthful about everything. We heard how Rias got Issei and Asia in her peerage. Irina and I would not like to be apart of that even if we are devils now."

Kuroka agreed. She thought she just wanted to use Naruto and protect him. She wasn't jealous. Not at all.

"I also believe Irina may be falling for him." Kuroka turned towards where Xenovia was looking. She saw Irina and Ravel laughing as Naruto was being drowned because they jumped on his back.

"She may not love him now, but when she saw how Issei was she became depressed. She truly cared for him but when she saw how lecherous he became it broke her heart. She wouldn't talk when we alone and put up a fake smile when we around others." Xenovia explained. "That smile she has right now is the first genuine smile I've seen since we first met Rias and everyone."

Kuroka nodded at that. Naruto just had that effect on people. Kuroka then got up and grabbed Xenovia bridal style.

"W-What are you doing?"

"This!" Kuroka said as she tossed Xenovia in the pool.

The splash alerting the three who were already in there. They all saw Kuroka laughing as Xenovia surface from the water. Irina and Ravel joined Kuroka in her laughing as Xenovia gave in and started giggling.

None ever saw Naruto leave the pool.

Kuroka was so caught up in laughing that never noticed Naruto sneak up behind her. She finally noticed when Naruto broke out into a run and wrapped his arms around her as he jumped in the pool.

"NYA! It's so cold!" Kuroka yelled.

Naruto just laughed like he did yesterday with all the girls joining. Kuroka got over her shock and started splashing him as she laughed. Naruto splashed back as did the others.

Naruto looked around and felt… warm. This was HIS family. He had a family again. The only thing that would make this moment better was if his mother and Koneko were here with them.

The Manga Club never noticed someone watching them.

"That could have been us." Said the person watching. The person had red hair and teal eyes. She had a figure to die for for. She had a lone tear fall down her face.

"I really screwed up didn't I, Naruto-kun?" The girl then walked back to the ORC to see how her peerage was doing.


The End!

So to answer some things.

Koneko wasn't in this chapter much because Naruto needed to bond with his peerage. He has had plenty of moments with Koneko so now he needs to have a few moments with his peerage.

As for Ravel being his Queen, that's easy. First she became his Queen when he and Kuroka went to the Underworld.

Second, I choose her as a Queen as I see her better being a Queen then a Bishop. I always saw her fit to be a Queen.

And finally, you can already tell that Ravel's parents made a marriage contract with Sirzechs. So before you say why Naruto isn't angry is because the contract had certain clauses to it. One being that it has to be mutual. The rest will be revealed when I write that arc in the next chapter.

For anything I may have missed or didn't answer, feel free to pm me!

Big thanks to Dark King Marcel and Crowfeast as always.

Thanks for everything!
