Okay, one thing I want to get off my chest is that some power levels have been altered. Yes, I apologize, but I feel it was necessary simply because of how stupid the author can be sometimes. For example, Sirzechs is supposed to be ten times the power of the Original Lucifer, how does that make any sense? The Original Lucifer was equal to the Biblical God, so that means Sirzechs is ten-times more powerful than God, which makes no sense at all! How the fuck is that possible, that would tip the war so hard in the Devil faction's side, unless the Seraphs were equal to the Satans – yet that would mean that the Seraphs were stronger than God. This is a huge plot-hole that needs addressing. Even worse is that Trihexa is as strong as Great Red, but God sealed him! That would imply that God could match Great Red in a battle, which would mean that Sirzechs is ten-times as powerful as Great Red. Everyone knows that is not true, yet this leaves some confusion as that dismissed what he said prior.

Please can someone explain this to me, this doesn't change the plot-holes I filled in this story, but still I need someone to fix my broken psych.

So basically I was forced to buff God and buff the Original Lucifer. I haven't changed much else though, so don't get furious at me that I had the gall to change two dead people's power levels. I hate breaking canon, but sometimes it's for the greater good.

(This has been answered. I had misread something, my bad.)

The Second God

The colour orange was Naruto's favourite. Something about it attracted him, like a moth to a light. It to him represented joy and sunshine, to be happy and boisterous. But even the colour of orange did not compare to his love of his own hair colour. That represented his family, something he cherished more than anything he could ever obtain.

When Naruto awoke, he felt his head cushioned by a pillow, but he also felt a weight on his torso. It was a smooth and voluptuous body, and when his eyes opened he saw the colour of gold. Her hair was silk from the sun, and it curled like a spiral. Her face nuzzled into his ribs and her pelvis rubbed against his leg, her chest stabbing into his stomach.

Naruto knew as soon as he saw the blonde hair that it belonged to Gabriel. She always slept with him, when they were younger and even when they were adults. She would always find herself sleeping on his own body, melding in with his body like two paints mixing.

She was awake, and moved her head up to stare into his eyes. Her eyes were a shining blue, like an ocean in a single orb – just like his. Her lips were a candy pink, as if tempting him to lean in and taste, and she smiled as if knowing so. So he did, and she moved her head to meet him halfway.

Naruto didn't share blood with anyone who had ever lived. What tied the family Father created was their love for each other. But Gabriel was never satisfied with his familial love, she desired more from him – and he obliged. Her lips tasted like a fruit, too sweet for mortals, only for a God. He couldn't help but smell her as they kissed, she was a garden.

"I missed you," She said, after moving her neck back. Her eyes stared at him softly, her feelings were a projection and her eyes were the screen. She never hid her emotions, she was as easy to read as a children's book. She stared at him with pure love, something he enjoyed more than the taste of her lips.

"If I wasn't God," Naruto said, grabbing her hips. "I'd stay with you for eternity." He pulled her up on him, so their eyes were but a finger away and their lips only but a needle. She giggled and stroked his thigh, her brain had been engraved with all of his love spots. She was his weakness; she knew how to make him crumble. "I would give the world for that." She whispered, beginning to slowly grind into him.

He hardened and she giggled, he could feel his cock trying to reach for her through his pants. She would have been moaning for days, if not for the man who stepped from the shadows. "Sir," It was King Arthur, a man respected on both Earth and Heaven. His black hair was curly and well kept; he still looked like a king.

Naruto smiled, the man wasn't a friend. But he was a familiar face, someone who had been with him for hundreds of years. Arthur knelt and became a stone statue – unmoving. "The Knights of the Round Table are ready for further orders." The man used to be a king, but after centuries he became groomed for servitude. He was one of the most loyal men who ever existed.

Naruto sat up in his new bed, Gabriel refusing to release her grasp on his body. She was without clothes, but Naruto trusted Arthur to not let his eyes astray. The man had enough grief with women in his life on earth that he had left his lust behind.

"Guard me from the shadows, become my invisible shield and guard me from any harm. That is your duty, failure is unacceptable." Naruto's orders were law, and no one dared break them. Naruto was sure he would be fine without the Knights, but after living for longer than most, he learned that caution was a feeling which never lied.

Arthur stood up and nodded, stiff like a man of metal. "The Knights of the Round Table know no failure; you shall not be harmed under our ever watchful eyes." His eyes wandered to the door of his room. "Do you wish for us to rid you of the two devils in this abode?" Arthur asked.

Naruto shook his head. "The Devils are under my protection for now, until the meeting is held. The Ouroborus Dragon – anyone under her wing is dangerous and those with her scent are your only enemies on this mission. No killing, make sure you detain them – I need to know more about this new threat." Naruto saw as Arthur nodded and disappeared into the walls. He was an odd fellow, with odd powers – but he was useful in many ways.

Naruto turned his head to Gabriel and pecked her lips. "You too," Naruto said. He saw as she frowned and bounced on his leg. "Why~?" She moaned. "I want to be by your side. I haven't seen you in months."

Naruto felt a bit of guilt stab his heart. He loved her more than anyone in the world, but he had duties. "We're still in war, Gabe." He said, rubbing her fingers. "Once I end it, we'll forget all of this."

She smiled at that, and it made Naruto smile back. "You'd better hurry up then." She said.

Naruto poked her nose, causing her to fall back into the bed. "Don't rush me," Naruto said, laughing. She stuck her bottom lip out in a pout and tried poking back at his nose. Naruto grinned and dodged her slow attempt at a jab, sticking his tongue out at her.

"You're too slow, Gabe." She giggled and it was truly heavenly. He missed it; it always made his heart glow. Then the worst sound came from his door, knocking.

"Naruto, Akeno made breakfast for you!" Rias said loudly through his door. Naruto grumbled and grabbed Gabriel's rosy cheeks.

"Stay with Arthur, and visit me every night." Naruto said, and she nodded. She reached her hand out to his remaining bandages and unravelled them quickly. They were normal, completely healed.

"Ooh, did my kisses make the booboos go away?" She said, grinning like he did. Naruto grabbed her and kissed her, making sure they remained there for as long as possible. "Thank you, Gabe." Naruto said after their lengthy meeting. "Go,"

She nodded and grabbed her garbs before releasing her wings and flying out his window, disappearing from sight in an instant. Out of all the Seraphs, she was the one who mastered the arts of flight. Only when Naruto had synced with Kurama, could he match her speed. She was an angel who could oust even the Ouroborus.

"I know you can smell that food." Kurama said, sniffing around in his head. Naruto could smell it, and it did indeed smell delicious. Naruto never had a mother growing up, and his Father was a man whose food smelt of garbage. It was something new, waking up to a smell so delighting. "I shouldn't be surprised you would wake up to that."

So Naruto put on a shirt and opened his door, the smell only hit him harder. It kept hitting harder, and harder, until he reached the kitchen, where he could taste it. Rias sat by the table, reading what he could only assume was a manga, or a comic book. Before her was a plate filled with delicious breakfast – pancakes, strawberries, muffins, and bacon. Yet, she did not touch it at all.

She turned to him and smiled. "Good morning," she said, closing her book. Akeno soon came from the kitchen with two plates filled with identical foods, all looking perfect – as if made for an art exhibition. She placed it before her, and one beside her. She sat and stared at him, as if waiting for him to do something.

Naruto nodded at her. "Good morning, ladies." Naruto quickly seated himself next to Akeno, who just watched him move as if he was a movie. She watched with a smile as if mimicking an angel. Naruto smiled at her and she her lips went higher. "Thank you very much, Akeno." Naruto said, making sure to bow his head slightly.

Her face glistened as if facing a ray of sun. "I hope you like it." She said, seemingly fiddling with her fork. Naruto knew what she was watching him for; she wanted to see his reaction to her dish. It was the same with many cooks, even when Grayfia cooked for him she would watch him with the same gaze.

So he grabbed a knife and fork and cut the soft pancake, making sure to keep a strawberry on it along with much syrup. He smelt it as he put it in his mouth, and it made him go insane. When he lowered it upon his tongue, it was as if it was making love to the piece of pancake. The mix of syrup, strawberry and the perfectly cooked pancake, it was like a climax, yet it was only the beginning. "This is probably the best thing I've ever tasted." Naruto said, unable to talk loudly from the pure exhaustion he faced from eating but one bite. "You have to make ramen for me one day, please!"

Akeno giggled and turned her chair to face him. She didn't even care to taste her own food; it was as if he was her breakfast. "I would make anything for you." She said. Naruto blinked. "There is no way she fell for me, no way."

"Akeno," Rias said from her side of the table. She seemed a bit off, as if waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Her eyes were narrowed and she seemed spiteful of Akeno for some reason Naruto couldn't figure out. In her hands was a fork carrying a strawberry, the same colour of her hair.

Akeno gave a weirdly off-putting smile to Rias, which Naruto caught. They seemed to be having a dispute, something he didn't notice when he walked into the kitchen. They seemed peaceful before, but as soon as he stepped into that kitchen it became a room of drama.

At last Akeno nodded before beginning to eat her own food. Naruto looked at Rias, and she just simply never looked his way. She only kept eating her strawberries, not even bothering with the pancake or the bacon. She seemed like a picky eater, and never touched the other foods.

"Rias," Naruto said, getting her attention. "That kid belonging to your peerage – you haven't told me why he attacked me yet." Rias' eyes became low at that. Even Akeno had her eyes stray to the side.

"Kiba, along with many others were viciously experimented on and tortured by members of the Church, in an attempt to create users able to wield Excalibur." Naruto felt his brain speed up, attempting to remember anything about any experiments. But he came up empty, never had he or any of his followers ever tested on children, at least from what he knew.

"All of his friends died, and he was the last survivor. He became mentally instable from that incident, and he reacts violently when anything related to Holy Swords come into conversation." Naruto felt his anger rise to a new peak and realized too late he was getting emotional.

Naruto stood up and slammed his fists into the table. "I never authorized anything related to experiments on children! This could not have been the church!" They jumped from his loud tone. Naruto was furious at their accusations; there was no way that any of his followers would commit such an atrocity. "Such things go against everything my Father taught!"

Rias stood strong however, and refused to waver. In any other situation, he would have been pleasantly shocked. "I am not lying, Naruto." She said, professional and brief. Naruto felt his mental exhaustion begin taking effect, so he sat back down.

"Why have I never heard of this? If anything Michael would know about this, so why did he not tell me this?"

"He always gave me the creeps; I wouldn't doubt that he was the one behind these experiments." Kurama said boldly. The voice was someone who trusted no one, only those who he knew down to the basest thoughts. He only trusted Naruto, and that was apparent to him by the voice's constant distrust towards everyone he associated with.

"He is not, Kurama." Naruto replied, sure of what he was saying. As long as he knew Michael, he never had done anything to harm children.

"You said the same when I proposed that Lucifer was the one who poisoned Uriel." Kurama said, bringing up a point Naruto could not refute. It was true, Naruto was blinded by the love he had for his only big-brother and had ignored the hard evidence. In his mind, his brother Lucifer would never resort to treachery and backstabbing.

"That's different, Kurama." Naruto felt for the first time in a while, backed up against the wall. He had nothing smooth to say, nothing but denial.

"Don't lie to yourself, Naruto." Kurama said, becoming silent. Kurama was his second voice, someone who knew himself better than even him. Naruto trusted his word more than anyone else's, other than his own heart.

Akeno laid a hand on his shoulder, it left his body relaxed. "I believe you, but I do not believe the ones who follow you. Even Angels poise to backstab." Akeno said. Naruto did not want to agree, but he did. Lucy showed that, and so did many others who had fallen. Even Angels cloak their intentions, as she said.

Naruto rubbed his forehead. "He will never forgive me, unless I somehow prove my lack of involvement. I feel bad for the kid; I would be just as angry in his situation." Naruto said.

Rias shook her head. "I don't know what to do. He ran out yesterday, but he luckily came back. Issei's trying to talk some sense into him, but he refuses to budge." Rias' frown only got bigger.

She then sighed and stood up, walking over to him to grab his hand. "Come, today is Saturday so we have the whole day to play around with." She then smiled, beginning to rub his wrist crease like the last time they met in his classroom. "Since you made me sad this morning, it's your job to make me happy!" She exclaimed.

Naruto raised his eyebrow, a bit confused with her sudden mood swing. "And what will make you happy?" He asked. Even though he wouldn't say it to Rias, this was his secret opportunity to rid himself of his small debt he owed to her. She wouldn't be able to say anything once whatever she asked was completed.

She gave an energetic smile to him, as if presenting it. "You and I will go to the mall together. Come on, it'll be fun." She persisted. Naruto smiled and nodded; an easy task to rid a pesky debt. All he had to do was shadow her activities while she roamed the mall, nothing too annoying.

"What about me?" Akeno butt in with a raised brow. Rias gave her a smile, almost twisted – a Devil's lip. "Didn't you want to cook him his ramen, or do you not want to do it?" Rias asked. She was good, showing her Lilith side once more. Once again, Naruto saw her manipulative side – the one which got what she wanted.

Akeno glared at Rias with more annoyance in her eyes than expected. It was two cold glass balls in her sockets, no longer her soft eyes. "Of course I do." She finally said with a smile.

Naruto looked at Rias and saw her smile become normal once more. She had a poisonous tongue, and as much as Naruto doubted she would be offensive – he would imagine that tongue could even hurt him.

"I'll get ready." She quickly spoke before running up the stairs. Her feet made loud stomps before she ran into her room – shutting it with a loud bang.

"She is jealous because her cooking is atrocious." Akeno said suddenly. Naruto looked at her and she shook her head "It can kill someone, trust me." She said, putting her hand to her heart.

Naruto gave a laugh. "My cooking isn't much better. The only thing I can cook well is ramen." Akeno gave a chuckle, putting her hand on his cheek. Naruto blinked, and in that split second she placed a kiss on his cheek.

"You don't need to cook well, when I'm here for you." She said, placing a black strand into her mouth. Naruto stared at her with confused eyes; it was the first time a Devil had flirted with him. It was odd, to say the very least. Her eyes were as if she was being pleasured, and she looked ready to moan at any second.

"Are you secretly an Incubus? It would make so much sense."

This chapter feels slow, and I'll tell you why right now. It was supposed to be longer, and cast a larger array of plot points; however I was forced to cut it short. I ended up going to a party, got into a drunken brawl, got my tooth chipped, woke up with a hangover, and then I needed to get it fixed. So cut me some slack here, please. Luckily, I lack any financial issues, so I'm not as pissed as I could be.

Anyway still, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. It was around three-thousand words, so it is pretty decent anyway. The next chapter begins the Riser Arc finally so the plot begins to speed up again.

By the way, this is the last day for the poll votes. At 12:00 AM EDT, the poll will end. So if you have not voted yet, this is your last chance.
