Warning: Please don't make me say it again. I don't own either of these two series! I only just started watching High School DxD recently. I may get some facts wrong and I apologize, but this is what I know based off of what I've seen in both universes.
Chapter Four: Transfer Students at Kuoh Academy: Welcome To School, Naruto Uzumaki!
It had been 8 years. 8 long years of hard work, training, and studying hard, Naruto Uzumaki and his peerage were standing alongside Sirzechs Lucifer. They looked up at the large group of buildings. Sirzechs spread his arms out wide with a grin on his face. "Welcome, Naruto-kun, to Kuoh Academy. To ordinary humans, this is a prestigious school turned co-ed only a few years ago. To devils like you and me, it's in the middle of devil territory, split between the Gremory, Sitri, and now, the Uzumaki Clans. This is where I, as the principal and chief member of the scholarship committee for the academy. As of today, you are transfer students from Tokyo Academy and second year students. Naruto-kun, you are in class 2A. It's an advanced studies program for students who are too smart for regular classes. It's the equivalent of being in class 3B as a second year student. Haku, Hinata, and Hanabi will be in class 2B. Yugito and Karin are going to be in class 3B."
The girls and Naruto nodded. "Now, traditionally, we have a few clubs that you can start as a way to hide your activities as devils. Think of it as a type of Headquarters, if you would. What kind of club would you like to start?"
Naruto placed a free hand on his chin. The boy was now 16 years old and his physique had changed significantly. He now towered over the girls at a height of 6 feet tall and his body showed signs of intense training. If anything, Sirzechs thought he now looked like a clone of his father. More so now than when he was a child. His blond hair was no longer a shaggy mop of blond spikes. It had now grown longer and ended in a medium length ponytail.
"I was wondering about making a Manga and Anime Club." Naruto's cheesy grin made Sirzechs laugh while the girls either giggled or rolled their eyes. Ever since Rias had introduced him to anime and manga, he'd become an otaku.
"That's great," the elder devil said, still having problems containing his laughter. Sadly, Naruto hadn't seen Rias in almost six years since she wished to start her studies in the human world for a while now and search for her peerage at the same time. "I'll just fill out the paperwork and have you enrolled and the Otaku Club will only need a club room to set you up in and you'll be able to start going to classes tomorrow. Alright?" Naruto and the girls nodded eagerly, though Naruto seemed off put by the club being called the Otaku Club. He preferred to call it the Anime and Manga Club.
The next day, students wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform were heading back to school for the first day of class. Friends spoke with one another on the way to class and it seemed like the groups were already beginning to form. Three kids in particular seemed to be bonding together well...
...of course, their main topic of conversation was breasts.
Naruto guessed that they were the infamous Perverted Trio of Kuoh Academy. They got caught peeping on girls in the showers, openly undressing girls with their eyes, talking about breasts, and even declaring their ultimate life's dream of having a harem. If it were anyone else, they would have likely tried to ignore the conversation. Sadly, it was Naruto that heard them and he couldn't be more disgusted. To speak and treat women like something they could ogle all day and show off. It sickened him.
Walking beside Naruto was Hinata and Karin. The three of them were having a nice conversation while Yugito and Hanabi were walking a bit further back with Haku discussing various topics like Hanabi asking Haku to teach her how to cook and Yugito was simply discussing how nervous she was about potentially meeting new people and devils.
Very briefly, Naruto could have sworn he saw a flash of red pass by a window in an old building a good distance from the school, but ignored it in preference of discussing potential devil recruits and the things they would be learning during the school year. Hinata did notice someone that she thought had potential. Naruto looked over to where she was looking and saw a sad girl with dark pink hair and bright emerald eyes walking with her head hanging down.
Excusing himself from his two friends, Naruto made his way to the girl and with a smile, decided to start up a conversation. "Hello," he said to her, causing her to jump in shock and mild fear. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you."
"No," she said, blushing rather intensely as such an attractive boy approached her. "I'm sorry. My name's Sakura Haruno. I'm in class 2A."
Naruto smiled widely, causing the girl to blush even more. "My name's Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki and I'm in class 2A too. Isn't that great!" Her blush seemed to deepen upon hearing that the attractive guy talking to her was also going to be in her class. It also meant he was incredibly smart in addition to being so attractive.
"Do you see that," whispered some girls walking behind Sakura and Naruto. "I bet he's just being nice to her."
"Yeah," her friend said. "What kind of person would hang out with a freak like her? I bet she dies her hair pink to try and draw attention away from her massive forehead."
Naruto growled beneath his breath as he and Sakura could both hear the hurtful comments. Turning to his pink-haired friend, he felt something dig in his chest as he watched her run off with tears in her eyes. Hinata approached him and placed her hand on his shoulder. She knew how much it hurt Naruto to see people like that and to see how a snide comment from people who they didn't even know could devastate someone so easily.
"Don't worry, Naruto-kun," she whispered to him. "You'll get another chance to get to know Sakura-san."
Naruto sighed sadly. "I know, but people like them just get under my skin. They don't even know Sakura and yet, they still find the spite to judge her. Just because they're jealous of her."
The groups split up and went to their individual classes. Naruto did see Sakura again, but the girl just tried her best to avoid him. Eventually, lunch came quickly and Naruto saw Sakura again sitting alone on a bench eating a bento undoubtedly made by her mother. Sitting next to her and opening his own bento, he finally decided to speak his mind.
"Those girls earlier were wrong about you, Sakura-chan," he said, causing the poor girl to jump out of her skin. She looked at him, her eyes...bloodshot from crying this morning. "Those girls...all they did was pick on you for something they're jealous of."
"Like what," Sakura said, sniffling a little.
"You see, I don't think the Big Man upstairs would give you something without a reason. Personally, I think you have a beautiful forehead. It shows just how smart you really are. And your pink hair...reminds me of the cherry blossoms that bloom in spring. Memories like that make me really happy, ya know," he said without hesitation. Sakura seemed to giggle, but the blush that spread on her cheeks meant she was flattered and believed what he was saying was the truth.
"Thanks a lot, Naruto-san," she said, keeping her head down. "It's just...people have been saying that kind of stuff about me since elementary school. It's always gotten to me and I never was comfortable with my appearance. But you...you're so cool. You don't know me. You had no reason to approach me this morning. You just...did. I thought, just for a moment, that someone actually wanted to be my friend."
Naruto smiled. "Of course I wanted to be your friend, Sakura-chan. And I know a lot of other people who would want to be your friend too. Look around you," he said, causing her to turn and look at the other girls whispering about them behind their back. "Those girls are jealous that I'm talking to you. They would be willing to say anything about you just to make you feel bad or to think I'm just being nice to you for a bad reason. But the truth? The truth is that they're jealous I'm hanging out with you. Each and every one of those girls thinks they're attractive because they've been told that all their lives, but I think they're some of the ugliest girls I've ever met."
Sakura could feel tears of joy fall from her emerald eyes.
"Real beauty...is more than just skin deep. It isn't about having big breasts or a voluptuous body. It's about the connection between two people that brings about a bond of friendship," he points out, placing his hand over her heart and her hand over his. "You feel this bond between us? This is what real beauty is to me."
Sakura couldn't stop herself as she simply threw herself into Naruto's open arms and silently cried while hugging him close to her. Her C-Cup breasts pressed into his chest as her body seemed to match itself to his. He silently rubbed her back and whispered a few words that nobody could hear into her ear. After a few minutes, the two separated from one another. Sakura's eyes were even more bloodshot, but it was for a good reason.
"If you ever need to talk or want to hang out with me and my friends, come to the new Anime and Manga Club. I promise that my friends would love to meet you." Sakura looked like she was wondering something before a light hit her.
"You mean the Otaku Club, right," she asked kindly. Naruto's head seemed to fall and a storm cloud appeared over his head.
"I told that bastard to call it the Anime and Manga Club," he growled. "Calling it the Otaku Club makes it sound like a club of weird kids freaking out over anime porn."
"Not all otaku are like that, Naruto-kun," Sakura deadpanned.
"I know that, but when people hear the word 'otaku', they think of people like the Perverted Trio, who obsess over anime porn and glorify slutty girls with big breasts. That's not what my club is about," he shouted to himself, raising a fist into the air. "My club is for people who dream of piloting Gundams, launching Ki blasts from their palms, and fighting the forces of evil with magic!"
"Sadly, you're the only otaku member of the club," called Hinata as she bowed to Sakura. "It's so good to meet you, Sakura-chan. I'm one of Naruto-kun's friends, Hinata Hyuuga." Sakura's eyes roamed Hinata up and down, causing her to blush like a tomato and look away. Hinata was a very attractive woman with D-Cup breasts and an hourglass figure.
"It's nice to meet you too, Hinata-san," Sakura stated, but Hinata waved off the formality.
"Please call me Hinata-chan, Sakura-chan," she said kindly. "Naruto-kun has a good eye when it comes to making new friends. I hope to see you around our little clubhouse one day." Turning to look at Naruto, her smiled seemed to fade a little, but it still held an air of friendliness to it. "Naruto-kun, it appears as though you are needed at the Club. Karin-chan appears to have accidentally replaced your Psychic Academy mangas with something called Icha Icha Paradise."
Naruto sighed. "Can't you just burn the Icha Icha books? Those are the kinds of books that make people think our club is full of pervs." Hinata shook her head while Sakura looked abashed at how casually Naruto dismissed the Icha Icha series.
"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, but it is technically a manga light novel series and Principal Sirzechs said that if we destroy them, then he'll cut funding for the club completely." Naruto groaned loudly.
"Just because I refuse to read it, he's making me keep it in the Club library." Turning to look at Sakura, he noticed her eyes shine brightly. "I'm sorry, Sakura-chan, but this is something that needs my immediate attention. I would still love for you to come by after class...if only to get a look at how the club runs and to meet some new friends."
Sakura nodded eagerly. "Of course," she said immediately. "I mean, I'd love to visit your club, Naruto-kun, but I think we should get to class before the teacher marks us tardy." Naruto chuckled and nodded.
"Of course. Go on ahead. I'll meet you in the class room in a minute." Sakura nodded and, after hugging Naruto one last time and thanking him for being her friend, she ran off toward their next period class. Once Sakura was gone, Naruto's eyes hardened a little. "So what was the real emergency, Hinata-chan?"
Hinata nodded. "Apparently, there have been multiple sightings of Fallen Angels in the area. Something powerful has to be attracting them here."
Naruto nodded. "I see. There haven't been any attacks on humans or devils, so there's no reason to get involved yet. However, I do want you to keep an eye on their movements. It's difficult to imagine Fallen Angels congregating in the territory of three known High-Class Devil Clans without a purpose." He thought about something for a moment before an idea popped into his mind. "Also, I'd like Haku to keep an eye out on Sakura-chan. Before you showed up, when she was hugging me...I could feel something. Something strong. It may be nothing, but I have a feeling that it's a Sacred Gear...maybe even two."
Hinata's eyes widened. Sacred Gears were allegedly items handed down by the Biblical God to special humans he deemed worthy of them. Having one Sacred Gear, while not common by any length of the word, wasn't unheard of. However, if Naruto's suspicions proved right and she bore two Sacred Gears, there was no doubt Sakura would eventually become stronger.
"So you want her for your peerage?"
Naruto shook his head. "If I were like other devils, I wouldn't hesitate to add her to my peerage, but I don't want to pressure her into it. I want it to be her choice." Hinata nodded with a loving smile. Naruto was so kind-hearted about how others felt that he wouldn't force something to happen unless he had no other choice.
"Do you know what piece you want to give her?"
Naruto nodded, but said nothing more. Hinata pouted, but knew he wouldn't say more about the matter. "I'll go back to class and tell Haku to watch over Sakura-chan. Take care in class."
Naruto nodded and started to run to the classroom. By the time he arrived, the tardy bell still hadn't rung and the teacher said nothing more than to open up the Chemistry books to page 114.
By the time school was over, Sakura and Naruto were already walking to the clubhouse on the other side of the courtyard. Naruto opened the door and a bright light shone through the doorway and Naruto was grinning like a loon. "Welcome, Sakura-chan, to the Anime and Manga Club!"
Once the light died down, Sakura could see just how well-furnished the club room was. There were a dozen couches, chairs, and loveseats scattered throughout the room. Bookshelves were built against the wall that reached all the way up to the roof, each shelf filled to the brim with all kinds of manga from across the world. American Manga. Japanese Manga. Chinese Manga. Graphic novels as far as the eye could see. Sitting alone in a love seat was an absolutely radiant looking woman with long crimson hair and ruby red eyes reading quite intently what she recognized as Icha Icha: School Yard Days. She wore a very revealing black blouse that showed off a DD-Cup bust and a short plaid skirt that showed off the woman's well-toned legs followed by a pair of midnight black stiletto heels.
Sitting alone in one of the chairs was a young girl who looked remarkably similar to Hinata Hyuuga, though this girl had B-Cup breasts and wore the standard Kuoh Academy uniform. Her black skirt showed off her shapely rear and a pair of long, luscious legs that made her drool a bit.
Hinata was in the far corner, sitting alone on a three person couch, watching Dragonball Z. Near Hinata's position was a beautiful woman who looked like a super model. She had long blond hair, like Naruto's, only tied into a ponytail. She wore a purple shirt that accentuated her D-Cup breasts and form fitting jeans that made her rear look firm and supple and her legs toned, yet luscious.
For a brief minute, Sakura truly believed she'd died and gone to heaven. The minute the doors creaked open, all of the occupants of the room turned toward them and smiled at them. Hinata paused the DVD at around the middle of the episode where Gohan gets kidnapped by his evil uncle and walked over to the pair.
Hinata's smile lit up the room. "Hello, Sakura-chan," the young woman said kindly. "I'm so happy to see you here. Allow me to introduce you to the current members of the Otaku Club."
"Anime and Manga Club," cried Naruto as he walked over to one of the walls and pulled out the first Rosario + Vampire manga book and began to read it silently.
"You already know myself and Naruto-kun, our president. Sitting on the couch reading the Icha Icha book is Karin Uzumaki," Karin smirked with a twinkle in her eye upon seeing Sakura's reaction to the title of the book she was reading. "Don't let her last name fool you, though. She and Naruto-kun are distant second cousins. She's also quite possibly the biggest pervert in the club."
Karin snorted at the cheap shot of calling her a pervert. She was a part succubus. It wasn't her fault she had a healthy sex drive...
...healthy for a nympho, that is.
"The brunette of our group is in the kitchen, preparing some snacks for the group. Her name is Haku Shitori. She's a serious masochist and often acts like Naruto's servant in private, but she's a normal girl in public." Sakura nodded to herself.
"Next up is the blond girl, Yugito Nii. She's a bit of a supernatural buff. Sometimes, she'll play the shamisen for us to provide a bit of an atmosphere." Yugito smiled at the pinket kindly before returning to her own book on mythical animals and demons of ancient Japanese history.
"Last, but not least, is my twin sister, Hanabi. She's our local tsundere lolicon, if you had to give her a special title." The other girls just giggled while Hanabi let out an indignant cry.
"Just because I don't have massive boobs like you doesn't make me a lolicon," she growled.
"Then that gothic-lolita dress you have in the closet at home belongs to one of your friends, Hanabi-chan?"
Hanabi blushed and puffed out her cheeks before walking over to Naruto and wrapping her arms around his waist. "Naruto-buchou, Hina-nee-chan and the others are being mean to me and making fun of my small boobs."
Naruto, still reading his book, waved her off. "Hinata-chan, don't poke fun at Hanabi-chan. Hanabi-chan, there's nothing wrong with your boobs. They're fine the way they are."
Hanabi blushed and started to sputter nonsense while Hinata and the others just giggled away contentedly.
"I agree with Naruto-kun, Hanabi-chan," Sakura said with a blush of her own, pressing her hands into her B-Cup breasts. "Big boobs may be nice to look at, they can be a massive pain in the back sometimes."
Karin grinned a naughty smile and walked over to Sakura, bringing the pink-haired girl's hands up to her massive breasts. "So you like to look at other girls' breasts, Sakura-chan? Does that mean you play for the 'other team'?"
"Actually," Sakura stated without a fear of reprisal before gently massaging Karin's breasts, "I enjoy both sides of the fence. Boys have their pros and their cons, just like girls do. For a girl like me, I like boys for family, but girls are for fun."
Karin felt a shutter go up her spine as Sakura's magic hands worked wonders on her breasts. Looking over at Naruto, she moaned in slight ecstasy before giving him a pointed look. "Please tell me she's joining the club," she begged him. "Please! I love this girl! Can we keep her?"
Naruto chuckled at his cousin's reaction, though he was surprised that Sakura came out so soon after meeting the group with a curve ball like being bisexual and being somewhat of a pervert. However, that seemed to be a good thing. It meant that she trusted them with a secret like this. "Sorry, Karin-chan. It's up to her. I'm not going to force her to join simply so you can have a friend to play house with." Naruto looked over to Sakura. "Sakura-chan, you are more than welcome to come here after school cuts out. You don't have to join the club immediately. Give it some thought and get to know the members first before giving me a straight answer. Okay?"
Sakura nodded and ran over to him, giving him a big hug. "I'm so glad you talked to me today and I'm so happy having friends like you and your club. I'll see you all around school later. My mom's gonna freak out if I'm not home in half an hour."
Naruto nodded and the girls each said their farewells to the young girl before she took off with her backpack slung over her right shoulder. Hinata and Karin approached him, though Karin wrapped herself around Naruto's right arm. "Did you get it in her backpack, Naruto-kun," asked Hinata.
Naruto nodded. "The flier is in her backpack, placed as a bookmark in her math book. It was easy enough. Now, we have a way of keeping an eye on her in addition to Haku-chan. Now all we have to do...is wait."
