Chapter 4: Lets get it off our chest...
"Stay focus and try to keep that ball from expanding!" Naruto watch as Rias tried her best to keep her Power of Destruction into the form of a baseball; while at the same time pumping energy into it. The idea was to focus on Rias power. If she kept the ball from expanding but applied more power into it the stronger the attack will become.
The reason behind the training was mainly to the fact that Rias wanted to get stronger so that she wouldn't have to reply on other people to save her all the time. A day after the banquet, Rias, had come up to Naruto and ask for help in her training. Since then, the two have been training non-stop with there focus being on Rias power. But due to he fact that Rias was the type to release her power in one large burst and quickly drained herself in a fight till she was able to get some rest to recover her reserve's. With the training it should help increase her reserve, but it will take some time.
While normally the best person to help her out would no doubt be her queen, Akeno, she didn't want to seem weak in front of her peerage. Rias had to do the next best thing that came to her mind, and that was seek the help from another powerful devil. And seeing that Naruto was powerful enough to defeat Riser without breaking a sweat; and so in her mind he was the best candidate to help with her training.
"So tired." Rias grunted out, as she release her power and fell backwards on to the ground. Naruto laugh to himself as help the redhead back to her feet and helped her too the living room. With all the training that was going on she would eat dinner with the rest of Naruto peerage at the Inn and leave to her own home.
"Ah, just in time." Miya said, as she saw the two walked into the room. Naruto gave her a friendly wave as he took a seat around the table. Rias followed his lead and took a seat next to him.
"Is Young-Hee going to miss her meal again?" Naruto ask, as he notice that his queen had yet to make appearance. Not only did that strike Naruto as odd, but since the battle with Riser it seem to him that she was trying everything she could to hide from him. Skipping meals, coming home late and leaving very early in the morning.
"I'm afraid not. She called and said that she had some school work that was going to take her some time to finish." Miya answered him, as she finish setting up and now waited for the last of the residents to show. Naruto glance at the hallway for a brief second before slowly heading towards his seat.
"Is Young-Hee avoiding me?" Naruto ask the group, as he it seem odd to him that Young-Hee was rarely at the house. It seem as though she was always out or doing had too much school work. While he knew that Lisara and Lightning rarely said anything about their studies, she did. He had a gut feeling that something went wrong and he needed to mend the rift that was forming before it was to late.
"Maybe she doesn't like me?" Rias said, as she took a seat next to Naruto. While she was a guest for the time being, still living at her home for the mean time, that didn't mean she wasn't watching how Naruto's peerage acted towards each other.
She notice that Yamato acted as a information gatherer for the group; but seem too keep everyone except Naruto at arms length. Lisara was the peacekeeper of the group, and was also the teaser of the peerage. Lightning was one that she couldn't really get a feel for as she stayed silent most of the time, but when she did speak it seem as though she had something always important to say. And finally there was Naruto's queen, Young-Hee. And for the moment, Rias, had no impression about her minus there first encounter. But Rias knew that she shouldn't judge her based on that encounter. She wanted to meet and know the queen.
"We don't know if there's anything wrong with Young-Hee." Lisara answered, as she prepared to start eating her meal. While she might of had a hunch as to what was wrong with the purple haired queen, she didn't want to gossip over the dinner about it.
"As long as she doesn't cause any trouble then she could do what ever she wants." Yamato coldly told them, as he focus on his meal. Not caring if they hated his statement. Lisara gave a light glare at Yamato before going back to her meal.
"Oh yes..." Lisara had suddenly remember something that was of important to her. "Naruto, after the meal can you meet me in my room?" Naruto looked at the redhead and thought for a second.
"Yeah Lisara I can meet you." Naruto gave her a quick smile, before going back to his meal. He was hungry after all day practicing his magic with Rias.
"What is this? You two are planning lewd acts and announcing it in front of all of us." Miya brought up her arm up and used the sleeve of her kimono to hide her dark smirk. "I am sure I have told you both that lewd acts will be strictly forbidden here." Everyone watch as a image appear behind Miya. Miya release her aura as it surrounded Naruto with a giant white hanya mask with long silver-blue hair appeared behind him, its red eyes bleeding out and a purple mist escaping its open mouth. Miya giggle as she watch everyone's panic expression towards her little friend.
"Hey we weren't going to do anything like that, Miya!" Lisara instantly brought her hands up to try and stop Miya. That demonic image was scaring her way too much, and that was saying something considering that she was born in the underworld.
"Yeah, what she said Miya!" Naruto quickly agreed with her, as he started to back away from Miya, afraid that her summoning would attack him without any notice. Plus, Miya, was still smiling at him seemly not aware of the image behind her. Miya just kept smiling at them, happy with how the meal was going on not caring if she was still scaring them for the moment.
*With Young-Hee*
"Stupid Naruto..." Young-Hee grunted as she kept punching the punching bag that was in front of her. Young-Hee was currently at a gym that goes into the late of night; and with her feeling forgotten by Naruto she needed to take her frustration out on. Without missing a beat she unleashed a fury of quick jabs and kicks to the punching bag all with the same amount of force to knock out a regular person in one strike.
"Why does he have to focus all his attention on her... I am his queen. He should be paying attention to me." Young-Hee speed and punches increased as her anger rose.
Her mind kept thinking of the promise that Naruto made to her to always stay by her side. It was because of that one promise she had decided to become his peerage member. Before she had met him, she was an orphan girl that was taken in by the church and was well on her way to become an exorcist for the church. Naruto showed up one day and after a few events she had decided to join him on his journey. But at this moment she felt that Naruto left her behind to be with Rias.
"Stupid Naruto!" She shouted as she let out one strong right hook to the bag to only have the bag break off the rope it was hanging off of and sent a several feet from her. Young-Hee stood in her spot, staring at the bag nothing but emptiness going through her body. She didn't notice that a few tears were slowly falling from her face.
*With Lisara and Naruto*
"And we're almost finished." Lisara told the blonde as her hands were covered in a faint blue glow as she sucked away the extra energy that Naruto naturally produce. It didn't take for her to finish up. She withdrew her hands away from Naruto's left arm. "Well that took a little bit longer then normal." Lisara said, as she stood up and stretch her body.
"Thank Lisara... if you weren't doing this for me I could lose control of my power." Naruto said as he stared at his left arm. It was no secret to all the members of Naruto's peerage that he was afraid of his own power. They seen the damage that he can cause when he lose's control. And for the moment all they could do is suppress Naruto's power, but that was a temporary solution. He would eventually grow to strong that there will be nothing to hold it back anymore.
"Well now that we solve one of your problems it's time for us to go to your next problem." The redhead told him, as she stood in front of him, hands on her hips and a light glare on her face.
"And that is?" Naruto eye brow aroused, as he wasn't sure what she was talking about. While some ideas of what they were went through his head, he still wasn't sure which one of them were correct.
"Young-Hee!" Lisara quickly replied back, as though it was the most obvious answer. And Naruto did feel like an idiot for having to ask.
"What about her?"
"Don't you want to know why she has been avoiding you!?" Naruto nearly jumped out of his spot as Lisara face nearly hit him.
"Well of course I do... But I am hoping that she is going to tell me soon." Naruto said, letting out a small nervous chuckle.
"No! She is a woman! That means she wants you to go and fix the problem without needing to tell you what's wrong." Naruto stared at her blankly not sure on what to do or what he had done wrong. Seeing Naruto clueless expression, Lisara, knew she had to tell him now. "Sigh.. Naruto she is your queen. you gave her a promise that she would always be by your side. But now you focus so much of your attention on Rias since we arrived her she feels like you're replacing her with another woman!"
"But I never was going to replace with anyone. Young-Hee is my queen and no one could ever replace her. And Rias was never going to take her place. Young-Hee has a very special place in my heart, one that will never change."
"Well you have to tell her before its too late." Lisara reminded him. Naruto looked at the ground trying to think of the best way to make it up to his queen. And then it came to him, the best place that he could make it up to her.
"Hey Lisara can you pass a message to Young-Hee for me?" Lisara blinked a few times wondering what he was going to tell her. He leaned in and whisper in her ear.
*Next Morning*
"Come with us to the karaoke bar, Asia." A few voice loudly asked, as students were walking towards the school. A small trio of boys were currently crowded around a blonde haired lady known as Asia. While normally Asia would walk to the school with Issie, he was forced to wake up early and meet up with Akeno about his dragon arm acting up. But some of the older guys had seen that Asia was alone for once had decided to ask her out to a group gathering.
"I would love too, but I have club meeting after school." Asia calmly told them, truly feeling sorry that she couldn't hang out with other students from the school. And she had another reason as to why she couldn't join them.
"Well if you can't join us after school, then why don't you skip classes and go with us right now." One of the males grab her wrist and tried to drag her away, but as he took a few steps forward he was suddenly stop by another person.
"Come on, Asia, we have to make sure we're not late for class." A female said, as she grab Asia and took her away from the trio. The three guys wanted to open there mouths and say something, but the cold glare that the other female gave them quickly shut them up. A watch as Asia was taken away from them, giving them a small wave as they walked away from them. Asia, while being a kind person, was feeling uncomfortable when they didn't want to leave her alone when she told them she couldn't join them. She was feeling grateful that someone had come to her rescue.
"Thank you so much for getting me out of there umm..."
"Lightning. Just call me Lightning." The woman introduce herself to the blonde, as she let go of her hand and kept walking. Not one for goodbyes, the pink haired woman kept walking seeing as her classes where on the another campus. She saw that the blonde had no backbone to get herself away from the trio.
"Umm Ms. Lightning!" Asia jogged towards the female warrior. "Thank you for helping me."
"There is no reason to thank me. I saw that you were having trouble back there and I decided to help you." Lightning brushed her off, as she kept walking away from her. Not seeing the big deal with helping her out.
"But umm Ms. Lightning why did you help me?" Asia ask, not sure why this lady would help out a stranger. And from what she remember this woman was not the type to be friendly towards others without a reason.
"I only help cause those types of males are not the best kind to be alone with." Lightning stopped walking and turned to face the former nun. As she felt that the nun wouldn't leave her alone anytime soon.
"They are not?" Asia gave her a innocent expression, as she tilted her head to the side. She placed her finger under her chin and kept looking at Lightning.
"Those males are the type to take advantage of innocents girls like you. I wasn't going to allow that to happen to you if I had a chance to help you out." Lightning told her, as she watched Asia eyes widen at the little bit of news.
"But they seem so nice..." Asia mumble under her breathe, her expression changing to a sorrowful one, but quickly change into a bright smile. "Thank you again Ms. Lightning. You are really a nice person Ms Lightning... Lightning... Light...ning?" Asia kept repeating her name feeling that something was off with her name.
"Is Lightning really your name?"
"Sigh, since your not going to leave me alone I will let you know. No Lightning is not my name. Its a name I gave myself when I had to make myself strong." Lightning snapped at her not happy that someone was intruding in her personal life.
"But I am sure you have a pretty name! And plus I know your a strong and kind person. You helping me out early proves that."
"I might be strong but kind far from it. You seem like a nice person but I will let you know I was just making sure that you didn't get into any trouble." Lightning firmly told her reason as to why she had help her.
"Ms. Lightning I know you're kind. But you don't want to let others to know that side of you. I am sure not only are you a kind person but I am sure you have a loving heart. A heart filled with so much love like a mother."
"Just go to class." Lightning growled at the blonde. Asia seeing that she wasn't getting anywhere with the pink haired woman, decided to walk away from her. Lightning watch the blonde haired devil walk away. "... Me a mother... not in this life time." She mumble to herself as she marched towards her class, but never forgetting her little statement.
*With Naruto*
"Have a good day, Miya!" Naruto yelled as he heard the land lady leave the house the door closing behind her as she left. Naruto let out a sigh, as he stretched his arms and loosen the joints in his body. He let his feet carry him towards he bath tube as he felt that he had a long day ahead of him and needed to shower for the day. It wasn't long before the water was running and the clothes were left in a small basket as he draped his body into the water. Letting out a blissful sigh as the warm water covered his most of his form, he allowed himself to relax for the moment. Naruto being content with the his bath, failed to notice that the door had open.
"This is so relaxing... I could just fall asleep right now." Naruto mumble to himself, closing his eyes and turning his back to the door as the feeling refresh wash through his body.
"Do you want me to wash your back?" A seductive voice said behind Naruto. The blonde eyes quickly shot up and he turned around to see who had sneaked up on him. His eyes roamed over the stranger who'd tried to accost him. A Redhead, but it was not Rias. Her hair wasn't quite the luscious scarlet shade that Gremory heiress seem to posed, or the shiny glossy that Lisara hair seem to have, but it looked surprisingly well placed on her. She did cut a stunning figure in that towel, though.
"Who... Who are you?" Even though Naruto was stunned at the beauty in front of him, and even one head was thinking of ways to know the redhead, he did try to keep his composer in this odd situation.
"Naruto Uzumaki. Your date of birth is not known, but there is a small record on you with you appearing and finding a way to escape a mental institution. Was not seen for quite a long time. There is no record family members. All in all you're a mystery that no one has any clue on. And to answer your question my name is Matsu." Without missing a beat, she dropped down to her knees and slowly crawled towards the blonde.
"Now..." She trailed off, as she enjoyed seeing that his eyes started to wander down to her swinging breast. "...we can start with the experiments!" She didn't let him register her sentence before pouncing on him. Before she could grab him, Naruto, disappear from her line of sight. Resulting in Matsu landing in the bath tube water.
"Your crazy!" The shouted didn't seem to be heard, as he notice that the redhead in front of him kept her gaze on him.
"Uhuhuhu...Please cool down my hot body with your DNA, Naruto!"
"So you want me to-bleargh." Naruto swallowed his tongue to stop himself from voicing that thought any further than he already had. He bristled slightly, a quiet dread overtaking him as looked at this Matsu character. The way she was looking at him...making those motions with her fingers. She reminded him of something. Someone. He couldn't quite put his finger on it though. That perverted gleam in her eyes, the way she seemed to drool ever so slightly as she stared up at him, the slight trickle of blood from her nose it was just like-AHA! Now he knew what he was looking at!
In front of him was a female pervert. While females could be just as perverted as any males, they had a tendency to keep it on the down low. But that was not the time for him to think of what freaky things she might be into. Not when his chastity was at stake! The first woman he wanted to bang would not be a female pervert! Maybe a random girl in a drunken night; or one of the girls in his peerage, if he was lucky, but not her... Well not as a first girl.
Naruto brought one of his hands up and summon a wall of fire. The wall seem to have stop the advances of the perv and give Naruto the chance to runaway. Without a second thought he had ran past the door, grabbed his clothes and some how kept himself from falling face first into the street while getting dress at the same time.
In no time Naruto was blocks away from the Inn before he stop running. Not looking back once fearing that should he stop then he would lose his chastity. Hey he didn't want to lose mini-me to that perverted redhead pink tunnel! Even if it was going to be a good experience it didn't mean that he wanted to happen like that.
"Damn! Who was she!? Where the hell did she show up from?" The blonde thought to himself as he kept walking around aimlessly in the town. Fearing that his home was not safe till he brought some backup. Or at least a male escort for that freaky redhead. Hey while he was willing, he just didn't want her to be the first girl he banged. He was so lost in thoughts that he failed to notice the person in front of him, till the person collided with him.
"Hey why don't you look where your walking!" A voice yelled at the blonde, snapping him out of his thoughts about the perverted female he just encounter. Naruto looked down to see who he had just bumped into and was surprise to see the person that was slowly getting up. A young, and quite tall, girl with messy, shoulder-length crimson hair, and that was dressed in punk fashion; with the a neck-belt surrounding her neck, short black jeans shorts combine with knee high black boats on those long creamy long legs, and a leather jacket around a white tank top that barely did anything to hide her figure. All in all Naruto couldn't help but stare at the lady in front of him. She was very cute in his opinion, the only thing off was the angry glare she was giving him.
"What! Can't you hear!? You should look where your walking! I want an apology!" Her glare only intensified as she kept her eyes locked on the blonde in front of her. But Naruto didn't seem to hear her, as he just started at her.
"Che. Do you want to die!" She snapped, as one of her hands reached up and brought him in closer. Her eyes showing nothing but pure rage towards him as she brought him down to her eye level.
"Red hair..." Naruto finally whisper out, just getting out of his trance.
"You have an issue with my hair color!" She snapped again, not happy that the blonde haired male just seem to ignore her and just stared into space. And it didn't help that he had to say something about her hair, her hair which always got her into fights when she was growing up.
"Its... its so pretty..." Naruto manage to let out. Even though he has seen three different ladies with red hair in less then 24 hours, her red hair just seem to match her. Maybe cause if match her fiery personalty; or just something about red heads that he just like. What ever the reason it was he couldn't help but like it.
"Wha.. What are you saying!?" She shutter out, a small blush forming on her face, surprised too have heard him compliment her on her unique hair color. "You can't go around ignoring girls and then complimenting them!" The moment was gone and she snapped back to her normal self, as she shock Naruto by the collar of his shirt.
"Weren't you raised bett..."
Gggggrrrrrrr
A loud growl was heard. The redhead dropped the blonde and tried to cover her face. She couldn't believe that her stomach just let out a loud stomach growl. She was trying to teach the blonde in front of her a god damn lesson! She did not need him to make fun of her. She was going to walk away and pretend this never happen!
"Where are you going?" Naruto question, as he watch the redhead attempt to runaway from him. Key word attempt. The redhead slowly turned to face him, wondering why he was trying to keep her from leaving.
"You said I owe you apology and what better way then apologizing with food." That quickly stop her. She gave him a blank stare, making Naruto feel slight uncomfortable but knew she was just trying to psych him out.
"I don't want your pity!" She snapped at him, not wanting to look weak in front of anyone. Even though she was starving she didn't need the blonde's pity.
"Haha I am not pitying you." Naruto rubbed the back of his head and started to walk. " I am hungry and I know a good all you can eat buffet around here." Naruto kept walking and looked behind him to see if the redhead was following him.
"Are you coming!"
"Hold on for me! Hey I don't even know your name!"
"Naruto. And yours?"
"Jinnie."
*After eating and at the inn*
"The food was so delicious!" The two in unison exclaimed as they both fell down on the mats of the inn. Instead of eating at the restaurant they had decided to take as many bowls as they could hold and walk back to the inn.
While Naruto knew that he shouldn't bring a stranger too the inn, since there was a perverted redhead on the loose some where in the inn. He couldn't deny that Jinnie was in need of a hot meal if the way she ate was any indication. Hey she did shove every piece of food down her throat. Naruto was still wondering if she shallow some of the meat whole. Plus he also brought her over as back up. If that woman showed up at least there was someone who could pull her off of him. He was joyful that there was no sign of that crazed woman.
"Do you live here by yourself?" Jinnie question him as she notice that besides him she had yet to see anyone else in the house. There was no pictures around the house and it did feel just a bit empty.
"No I live here with five others." Naruto answered, as he stood up and started to throw away the empty dishes. "This place is a Inn." Naruto told her, before she ask him.
"Well its nice..." Jinnie said, as she stood up and began to walk towards the door. While she had a good time and finally had a meal after a few days of not eating anything, she knew that her time was coming to a end and had to leave. "... Thank you for the meal, I will pay you back when I have the chance." Jinnie told him, not wanting to be in debt towards anyone. "I will be on my way now." Jinnie quickly stood up and headed straight for the door.
"You don't have to leave." Jinnie stopped in her tracks and turn to face the blonde.
"What do you mean?" She rose one of her eyes brows, wondering what was about to come out of his mouth. At the same time a part of her brain was going shooting a red flag telling her to quickly get out of there. That was the part telling her that he wanted to do sexual things with her, and that he really wasn't a nice guy.
"You can stay here." Naruto knew that that it wasn't his brightest idea, but damn it! He saw a person struggling and wanted to help her.
"I don't have a way to come up with any money to pay for rent." She was touched that someone was trying to help her, but her pride would not allow it! She is strong, smart and most important independent! Not some small kid asking for help!
"We can work that part later. My friend is the one that owns this place and I can just talk to him about what's going on." Jinnie seem too be thinking about it for the next few minutes, before she open her mouth. "I am not going to take no for an answer." Naruto firmly told her, knowing that she wasn't the type to accepted help easily.
"I don't need your pity!" She quickly snapped at him, going to her only defensive measure when confronted with a problem she didn't know how to deal with.
"It's not pity... I'm... I'm just trying to help you. I am trying to give you a home for now." Naruto could see that she was still struggling with the situation at hand. "You don't have to worry about anything if you stay. Just give it a week." Naruto told her, as he stood up and looked her in the eyes. He could sense Miya was already near the Inn.
"But I don't..."
"Need my pity. Yeah I heard that already, but just stay for a full week. If you hate it you can just leave." Jinnie struggled to open her mouth, before she could open it one more time the front door open up.
"Miya, perfect timing." Naruto rushed towards the purple haired land lord and gave her a quick hug. "We have a new guest staying with us for a bit, can you please give her a room." Naruto let her go and quickly rushed out of the Inn, not wanting to hear what she had to tell him about it.
"But Naruto, don't you think..."
"Can't hear you Miya!" Naruto shouted as he ran of sight, to not allow the Miya say anything about his guest. The young ladies could only stare as they watch the blonde runaway from the Inn. Miya even rubbed her temples to stop herself from getting a headache from his actions. She turned around and gave the redhead a warm smile.
*With Rias*
Rias Gremory was worried. Since the start of the day, the feeling of dread had loomed over Rias. The redhead had a feeling that something big was about going to happen soon, and there was nothing that she could do to stop it. Since the very start of the day, she had felt something was amiss, since she felt that there is two large holy signature's within the town. Normally this would not worry her, as people of the church have been known to come into her Kuoh to do some small exorcists and then leave the territory. But this was different...
The holy energy she was feeling was above the normal small fry exorcists that come and go. No, the energy she was feeling was stronger more concentrated. If she had to take a guess there was only two choice's on what it was. First choice was that it is a level three angel. Rias was not truly worried if it was a level 3 angel as they were as powerful as a middle class devil. But anything above there level would prove a challenge for many devils. But that seem unlikely that a angel would just come to Kuoh. The second choice was that it was a holy sword. Since holy swords were bless with tremendous power, they always proved to be a challenge for any devils. The only draw back to the swords that only a handful of people in the world could use them. Either one was not a good choice for Rias to face. She could only hope that she would not be involved with what she was sensing.
"Do you have alot on your mind?" A voice interrupted her from her train of thoughts. She turned towards the source of her interruption to see a familiar blonde in the doorway. A small smiled formed on her face seeing Naruto, and she had to put a halt to her thoughts from early.
"Naruto!?" Rias jumped out of her seat, surprise that the blonde had come to visit her. Normally she was the one that went to see him, not the other way around. Most of the time that she was able to see Naruto was when she went to train with him. "What are you doing here?" She question him, finding it odd that he was at the clubhouse.
"Well you see I kind of on the run from my own house...Ha." The blonde let out a nervous chuckle before he dropped his body onto the couch. Without asking permission he pop his legs on top of the arm rest of the couch and made himself comfortable. Rias shot him a questioning glance, wondering what would make someone ran away from their own home.
"Why are you on the run?"
"Well you know there's a crazy pervert at my house." Naruto told her, hoping that she wouldn't want to know any further details. But luck was not on his side as he looked up and saw that Rias expression was asking for more information.
"When I was taking a bath early today, some crazed red head lady snuck in and tried to rape me!" Rias silently laugh in the palm of her hand, as she saw the fearful expression that went across the blonde's face.
"Seems like you met Issei perfect match." She joked, believing that Issei would be happy if any girl had tried to rape him. Hell she could she him praising some god for the fact that a woman had her way with him.
"I will try to introduce them later... After I find that her, tie her down and cleanse her body with my fire." Naruto let out a dark chuckle, as he picture hr face as he burn her for her actions. Rias patted his shoulder, giving him some comfort. "I also need to hide form the new guest at the Inn." Naruto gave her the second piece of information.
"You have a new guest staying with you?" Rias was wondering if that was some code to him gaining a new peerage member. She would be happy if he did gain a new member. Then it hit her! She still hasn't gained a full set yet! She only had one rook and one knight piece left before she would gain the full set. The only downside is that Issei had token eight pieces instead of one. Don't get her wrong she was not blaming Issei for how much he cost. But that large gamble might cost her in the future. Now she had to choose her next two members very carefully.
"You still there Rias?" Naruto ask her seeing the far away look on features. She snapped back to reality and nodded her head. "Like I said I just have a new guest staying with us till she gets back on her feet."
"That's kind of you, Naruto." Rias gave the blonde a warm smile, touched at his kindness for another. But now she needed to talk with Naruto about some personal issue's that were coming too her. "Naruto have you seen anything odd going on around the town?"
"Like what? Remember I got chased out of my house by a perverted redhead to only meet another redhead that has anger issue's." Rias raised an eyebrow at his sentence. She forgot that she zoned out on the last half of his story, but now she wanted to hear it. Minus all that she needed to see get to the important issue.
"Have you seen any new exorcist around the town?"
"Can't say I have... Isn't it impossible for any one other then devils to enter this town because its devil territory?"
"Yes, doesn't mean that exorcist don't have due to normal people calling them in." Rias let out a deep breathe and started too rubbing her temple's. Feeling a little stress out knowing that an enemy was near by, but angry that she didn't know where it was coming from. Before she could keep talking to the blonde she felt some pressure being put on her shoulders.
"You're too stress out. Everything will work out." Naruto reassured her, knowing that she would stress out way too fast before she could calm herself down. He also felt that she never really had anyone to rely on, since she always needed to be strong for her peerage. While she had a few friends that she could talk to about her duties, that didn't mean that she always could go to them.
"Thank you Naruto... Mmmm" She let out a soft moan, as the tension was slowly lifted from her shoulders. She felt her legs slowly turned to jelly. Feeling that she needed to put a stop to the massage before she fell on her butt. "Naruto... mhmmm... are you available later tonight." And without missing a beat the massage came to a stop.
"I have one thing plan for later tonight, but I am free after that." Naruto tried to think if there was anything else he was missing. Meet Young-Hee, try to apologize to her and see what happens. Probably get punch by her... Yeah she would do that to him, just to show him that she cares. Why couldn't she just give a hug instead?
"Then can you meet for a small festival?" A blonde eyebrow rose at the question. It almost sounded like she wanted to go out on a date with him. But no that can't be it!? Can it? While he saw Rias as a beautiful girl, he didn't think that he had a chance with her.
"Uhm sure." Naruto answered, feeling his spirit uplift. A new sense of happiness wash over both of them for similar reasons, but he knew it was starting to get late. "I will see you later tonight Rias." Naruto told her, as he took a few steps back and started to channel energy into his feet. Within seconds Naruto vanished from her sights. A large smiled graced her beautiful features. As she turned around to go back to her seat, she sense another signature appearing behind her. She turned around and saw that a letter had been delivered to her.
*Later that day, with Young-Hee*
The purple haired queen let out a sigh, as she waited for Lisara to show up at a ramen stand that she suggested for them to eat at. It was no secret that Young-Hee is a big ramen addicted. Hell that was one of the reason's that she was able to quickly bond with Naruto when they had met. And if there was one thing that Young-Hee hated was waiting to eat ramen. But here she is, waiting for the redhead to show up. Without warning, darkness covered her eyes as she as pulled into someone.
"Guess who?" A voice said behind Young-Hee. Acting on impulse, the queen, used her elbows to hit the person in the rib. She felt the person let go of her, and in the next second she went for the next strike to only stop when she saw who it was.
"Naruto?!" She watch as the blonde rubbed his sides and try to get up.
"Still as strong as ever." Naruto comment on, as he was able to slowly regain his breathe. He stood up and gave a light smile towards his queen. "Now are you ready to eat some ramen?" Naruto ask her, surprising her, since she believed that she was here to see the redhead grim reaper.
"I am waiting for Lisara." She told him, as she looked in every direction to find the redhead. But like before there was no sight of her.
"Yeah well I told Lisara to tell you to meet her here." Naruto scratch the back of his head as he gave a light chuckle. Young-Hee head shot up and gave him a small glare. After all the work she did to try and avoid him, only to be betrayed by her friend! She will get even with the redhead.
"Uhm well look at the time." Young-Hee stammered out, as she slowly backed away from the blond. "It's getting real late and I have tons of homework..." She just needed one distraction and she will slip away.
"They serve the best ramen in town." Young-Hee came to a halt. The best ramen in town did sound appealing to her. And ramen was one of her favorite food in the world. But she was conflicted, she didn't want to be near the blonde. After a few seconds of inner struggle she finally made up her mind.
"I want that ramen."
After multiple bowls of ramen, and two large stacks of empty bowls the two devils finally had a moment to remain calm. And for the blonde haired king, it was time for him to finally talk with his queen.
"Why have you been avoiding me, Young-Hee?" With that one sentence the purple haired queen stop eating and looked at the blonde. She put the chop sticks down and took a deep breathe to ready herself.
"Cause you found yourself a new queen." That confused Naruto greatly. Last time he checked he never offered anyone the position of the queen as of late. He scratched the top of his head and tried to think of what she meant.
"When did I do that?" Naruto mind was drawing blanks as to what she was referring too. There was no real ladies in his life, minus the new redhead devil he just met. But he didn't think she was referring to Rias.
"That redhead hussy!"
"Hey we both agree on Lisara joining us!" Naruto tried to defend the person he thought she was referring to.
"I meant Rias!" Young-Hee nearly shouted for everyone to hear, but was able to prevent herself. At the same time she was tempted to smack Naruto upside his head. Why would he think she was talking about her best friend! She should smack him for that!
"What does she have to do with anything?" Naruto seem to have forgotten that he has yet to tell her about the fake engagement.
"Since we got here all your time is spent with her! You don't train with us! Or even be without her!" She was letting out all of her frustrations on him, wanting to let him know how hurt she is for everything that he has done.
"Oh I forgot to tell you about the engagement." Naruto trailed off, only to further anger Young-Hee.
"That what! After the wedding she will become your new queen!"
"No... The entire engagement was fake." Young-Hee eyes widen and she stumbled backwards. She looked at Naruto, wondering what he meant. "The whole engagement battle and all that was a plan to save her from a loveless marriage. After a few weeks we were going to call of the engagement cause we can't let the Underworld know this was all plan... I meant to tell you but you kept avoiding me." Naruto explain.
"So its a fake engagement?" Young-Hee trembled, waiting for his answer.
"Yeah... I was trying to tell all of you at once, but you kept ditching." Naruto casually shrugged his shoulders. He knew that he had to tell his peerage, but he wanted to waited till he could get everyone in one spot and tell them at once. With Young-Hee avoiding him that came close to impossible to tell them.
"You're a jerk." Young-Hee punched him in the shoulder, and it was not a playful tap. Naruto rubbed his shoulder feeling the impact of the punch knowing that he might be getting off easy.
"You are still my queen. Nothing will ever change that." He knew that she needed to be reminded of the importance of her role and position. She gave him a light smile, as he return the smile. While those two were having there moment, they failed too notice two people walking by them covered in white hoods.
