Alright there is a funny bit of back ground behind this story. You see one of my friend read the latest chapters of Twin Tails-The Pure by fairy tail dragon slayer and he said he was looking for someone to make a 'reading' story of this. So my friend suggested me to fairy tail dragon slayer and let me know and I got a message from him. He talked and I agreed to do a new story with this. So now that the ground work is out of the way let's get started.
Disclaimer; I do not know Naruto nor High School DxD. I don't even own this story as it is own by fairy tail dragon slayer. I'm just using his work for this with his permission.
Finding Twin Tails-The Pure
Murayama eagerly took the book and read,
Chapter ten, Critical Changes
"Nyahahaha! Finally the time for you to call on me has come!" Kuroka shouted towards her younger sister from inside the shared apartment of Naruto and Koneko.
The new pawns blinked, "Who is that?" Murayama asked.
Rias glanced at Koneko who frowned slightly but nodded. She figured her sister would show up more often now that she wasn't a criminal there so they might as well know now. Rias turned to her pawns and said, "Kuroka is an S rank rouge devil that is wanted for killing her master and many other devils. Reason she is here is because she is the older sister of Koneko and Naruto."
Both girl were stunned hearing this. Kiba then added, "Well that is the issue with Kuroka here. In there she is working for Rias's older brother, although she we not know what she does for him."
Murayama pout wanting to know more of this new character but knew reading would be the easiest way.
Kuroka had teleported into their home the second that Koneko had called onto her for help on the issue involving Naruto's growing ability to sense emotions. Koneko was sitting on the couch with a sour expression on her face, before Kuroka jumped onto the couch next to her and wrapped and arm around her little sister. She gave her little sister a good shake and started to grin at being needed by somebody other than Sirzechs or Naruto.
She had forced herself to take some time off spying just for the chance to help her sister, while Koneko sighed and prepared herself to get teased. Kuroka ALWAYS teased people for some of the simplest things these days, it was in her nature, and she knew this when calling Kuroka for help.
"Well I think that is more being a big sister than anything else," Katase muttered while Koneko gave a small scowl.
"Stop joking around Onee-SAN." Koneko stated, while putting as much stress on the san in her title to Koneko. Surprisingly Kuroka nodded lightly and just started to calm herself down, if Koneko was calling her for something then she must really be needed.
"Got it nya, so what is the issue nya?" Kuroka asked with concern hidden deeply in her voice, it would never be said that Kuroka was very good at showing how worried she was half of the time. Koneko took a deep breath and looked at her sister with her more serious than normal face, because her face was always serious it was hard to tell the difference for those that didn't understand her tell signs.
The others nodded getting Koneko to give them all deadpan looks.
"Otouto's powers are growing to the point they are affecting him negatively, do you know a way to stop it or suppress them?" Koneko questioned her older sibling, getting right to the point. Kuroka frowned lightly for a moment when she tried to consider Koneko's words. She scratched her chin in thought for a few moments, wondering if she should reveal what she did know to Koneko. Deciding it would be best to reveal the information to at least her younger sister, she took a deep breath.
"His powers are in an unstable state right now, a state of growing. I recently brought this up to another person, and he told me that he had suspected for a while now that Naruto-kun had been gifted with a form of Sacred Gear. His Emotion Sensing abilities stem from his Sacred Gear, but until his Sacred Gear activates he won't be able to fully control, turn on and off, his powers at will." Kuroka explained with a frown on her face, knowing there was a problem with no current solution was annoying to her. There were ways to block out other people from Naruto's mind, but that would mean that he would have no access to his ability at all. Any method that they could use to help him would also cause him trouble, his current method of focusing on one person was good enough at the moment.
After all, the only reason Naruto has trouble with his ability are times when he is surrounded by literally hundreds or thousands of people. The stress of those many emotions were what caused him the trouble, or those rare cases when a person was so filled with hate an insanity that they caused Naruto to become sick from the extremely conflicting emotions.
"Sacred Gear, that's impossible. Only humans can be born with those." Koneko denied right off the bat, while Kuroka shook her head at her sister.
'Well that would be for most cases,' Rias thought recalling the first chapter. Not only was his sacred gear made from his own power but it was made while he was a human before he was reborn.
"Wrong, that only applies to the Sacred Gears created by the Biblical God. The ones that were made by other types of God's can be gifted to certain species of their choice, while it is true that a pure blooded devil can't be born with a Sacred Gear Naruto, you, and I are not devils by birth, nor am I a devil at all. That means that if a type of God wants to give us a Sacred Gear when we are born it is possible, but unlikely nya." Kuroka explained very carefully to her doubtful sibling.
"Bullshit," Koneko muttered getting Akeno to giggle.
The entire thing sounded farfetched to her, but she had to admit that there were times when weird things happened around Naruto. Like that Sun and Infinity symbol that would occasionally show up on the palm of his right hand.
"You are sure?" Koneko asked, making sure that Kuroka was completely sure about this before she trusted her answer.
Koneko knew it was a different world but it was still strange to hear herself trust her sister.
Kuroka nodded before she reached in between her cleavage and pulled out a small collar. She handed it to Koneko, and the white haired girl looked at the strange collar with a frown on her face. The collar was small enough that it would only fit around either her neck, or Naruto's neck. She guessed that it was for Naruto, because it was made from a black leather material. On the front of the collar was a small glowing green gem, and inside the gem there seemed to be a small amount of electricity inside of it.
"That is a collar with Crystalized Lightning as the base nya. It has a high enough electrical field that it should completely negate his powers, unless he is touching somebody he won't be able to sense emotions. That means he can't use his powers when he is wearing that, so no sensing ability to help him nya."
Rias and Akeno both blinked and looked shocked when they heard what the base of the collar was. The others did not noticed even if Katase and Murayama thought Naruto would look cute in the little collar. Koneko scowled slightly at the fact her twin would be wearing a collar even if it was to help him.
Kuroka warned her sister of the drawbacks of helping Naruto in this way. That collar was something that she had gotten for herself a long time ago to help her sneak passed people with emotion sensing abilities, and now she was going to have Koneko give it to their little brother to help him negate his own powers. Koneko looked at the stone and nodded lightly in understanding, if Naruto wore this then he wouldn't be able to sense emotions of people he wasn't touching anymore.
That wasn't fixing the problem, it was just like giving him a medicine for it. If his powers grew too strong it was possible that he would start to sense emotions again.
"I see, and how did you get this. Crystalized Lightning is pretty expensive, expensive enough to put a rich family in the poor house."
"Really?" Murayama asked stunned hearing this.
Rias nodded, "yes it is very rare and very expensive only the riches of families like my own, the Phenex or a few others can buy one and even then it would take a large chunk of our wealth."
"Damn," Katase spoke pretty much everyone's thought at that statement.
Murayama blinked as she looked down at the book again, "Then where did she get it?"
The other were quite not sure what to say. Koneko just scowled knowing her sister was up to no good to get that for her brother.
Koneko questioned with narrowed eyes, and Kuroka chuckled nervously. That was a question that she did NOT want to answer right now, or at all. (Koneko's suspicions were conferred here) Having this was pretty bad for her, so she was happy to get rid of it to somebody that would actually need it now. Kuroka bent down and kissed her sister on the cheek, before she jumped back and vanished into the shadows of the apartment. Koneko touched her kissed cheek, before she frowned and looked at the collar in her hand. She didn't like it, but she knew that Kuroka wouldn't play a cruel trick on her by denying either other her siblings help. That would mean that this thing was able to help her out with Naruto.
Koneko was quite as she was thinking of her sister, would she act the same way? Do anything to help and protect her? Somewhere far away a certain cat sneezed hard, wondering where that came from.
A flash of red showed a magic circle floating in the air, and seconds later a VERY annoyed Naruto was seen walking through the magic circle before the red teleported vanished into nothing. Koneko didn't need emotion sensing powers to tell that her brother was in a pretty bad mood over something.
Rias leaned closer wondering what had happen.
She got her answer moments later when she saw him throw a red item onto the chair nearby the couch, she looked at the object closer and saw that it was a red gauntlet type of item with a green gem in the center of the gauntlet. Two spikes of yellow jet out of the gauntlet and pointed towards the back end of the item, while the rest of the object was designed very similar to a dragon's scales in a way.
"Twice Critical, the guys Sacred Gear was a fricking Twice Critical!" Naruto said with an angry stomp on the ground at the fact that when Raigeki had come back with Issei's body she had also brought along with her the abandoned Sacred Gear that the Fallen Angel that had stolen it didn't even want anymore.
"What!?" Rias shouted while everyone jumped at looked at her. Her eye twitched in annoyance. Katase asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is no way it can be a simple twice critical," Rias replied with a huff as she crossed her arms and pouted angrily.
As she mutters to herself the two new pawns looked to the others and Kiba explained, "A twice critical is a common sacred gear and can double a user's power once at critical times. But seeing how weak Issei seems to be and how he was not turned into a devil sooner means he has to have a more powerful sacred gear."
"It makes no sense," Rias added with a growl, "No twice critical can be worth using eight pawns to make into a devil. There has to be a mistake."
"Read," Koneko suggested and Katase started off again hoping to find an answer for Rias.
Seriously, once the Fallen Angels had discovered that the Sacred Gear was only a Twice Critical they said 'screw it' and threw the damn thing away. Raigeki was easily able to retrieve both the Sacred Gear and Issei's body and bring them back the clubroom after Issei had been killed.
"So I take it the perv is dead?" Koneko asked to make sure, while Naruto huffed and hopped onto the couch with another glare at the Sacred Gear for causing so much trouble for them.
Rias nodded with a huff while Katase and Murayama frowned. They did not like the pervert but they were sad to hear he was just killed and thrown away for nothing.
"Yeah, the Fallen Angel killed him to get his Sacred Gear... but they didn't want a Twice Critical and threw it away. Rias has already brought Issei back as a Pawn, but now the stupid Gear is refusing to become a part of Issei again. Try touching it."
Rias blinked hearing this. 'Even as a twice critical should return to the owner if they are brought back as a devil. And Issei only died recently so why would it not come back to him?'
Naruto suggested as he pointed at the Sacred Gear on the chair. Finding something weird about the way he said that, Koneko walked over to the chair and placed her hand on the Sacred Gear, only for her to draw back her hand right after touching the Gear like she was burned. Her hand was smoking slightly from touching the Sacred Gear, and she was looking at it in shock.
"That sucks, it is hot." Koneko said with a light scowl to Naruto for making her touch something that was that hot.
Koneko pouts at her brother for tricking her like that. Akeno giggled at both the face and the way Naruto tricked his sister.
Naruto shook his head and walked over to the Sacred Gear and picked it up like it was nothing. "It isn't hot, it is being very picky about who can touch it. Only Issei, Raigeki, and myself are able to touch this thing without getting burnt. I think it won't let itself be used by anyone that doesn't have a connection to a dragon of some form. I have a pretty strong affinity to Dragons, Raigeki is a dragon, and being the original user Issei has an affinity for it." Naruto said with a toss as he put the Sacred Gear right back onto the chair.
Rias started thinking it over, 'Has an affinity for dragons huh? Why does that sound familiar?'
Calming himself down before he exploded over something small, he allowed himself to think about the good parts of having Issei as a fellow member of Rias' peerage. Naruto sweat dropped when he realized that right now there really wasn't anything special about having Issei as a member of the team. He was just another Pawn right now because of his old Sacred Gear refusing to allow anyone to use it.
For a Twice Critical, the thing was pretty picky about who was allowed to touch it and use it.
Rias moaned thinking of that. If it was true then not only was Issei useless to her there but maybe here as well. 'At least a twice critical is better than nothing.'
"Wow, Gear with attitude." Koneko said with a raised eyebrow to the picky Sacred Gear. Naruto was just upset that he had thought that Sacred Gear was one of the 13 Longinus, something that was understandable to be upset about.
"Yeah, and to make things worse Issei needs to be trained to the normal level of a Pawn. Right now he is weaker than Riser's weakest Pawn, so he is like zero help for a Rating Game. He may be only one Pawn, but it was a Pawn wasted right now... until he get training to form some kind of useful skill." Naruto stated with an annoyed sigh.
Rias moaned again knowing that was true, she prayed that this was not the case to Issei here.
Of course, he wasn't saying Issei was completely hopeless. It was very much possible that he would get a skill that he would be able to use during a Rating Game, but right now he had no such skill.
"Why would a Twice Critical be worth 8 Pawns?" Koneko asked, while Naruto sighed and glared at the thing. If it had a personality then it would be considered a living being, so this Gear was actually worth 7 Pawns, while Issei was worth a single Pawn. Together they added up to 8 Pawns, but they reincarnated Issei without the Gear so it was only a price of 1 Pawn to turn Issei to their side.
Katase and Murayama, who had no knowledge of sacred gears beforehand, could see the logic in that. 'At least it is the sacred gear worth a lot and not Issei himself,' Murayama thought, 'he is ever gets a big head I will have to be sure to remind him of this.'
"Who knows why, but it might just be a stubborn Twice Critical. It must have been resisting the changing process for Sona and increasing the price of Pawns needed nya." Naruto explained with best possible idea he had to explain it. He didn't need the Sacred Gear, and Issei wasn't strong enough where it would be any good to him even if he could use it properly. Right now they would just need to find something to do with it, Rias had given it to him and told him to do with it what he wanted. Naruto grinned lightly when he went over to the Gear and placed his hand on the green gem. This thing was being stubborn, so Naruto would show it who was boss by flooding it with his own power.
"Is that even a good idea?" Katase asked pausing in her reading.
Rias shrugged not really sure but she figured Naruto would be fine.
He could feel the Sacred Gear's emotions by touching it, and the thing seemed to be upset over recently being removed from its proper owner. Naruto sent a burst of energy through it, and the green gem absorbed the energy right away. Naruto blinked at how it absorbed his energy and seemed to get more powerful, and Koneko noticed his confusion.
'What was that?' The older sister wondered when she saw Naruto sent another pulse of his power into the Sacred Gear. Both of them jumped back in the surprised when the entire thing started to glow.
Dragon BOOST!
The group paused at what Katase just read. Rias blinked before she gained a look of shock, "Can it be?" she wondered aloud. She looked at Katase not noticing the looks the others were giving her. "Keep reading."
They both blinked when they heard a voice shout out from the Sacred Gear, and when the light died down they were able to see the Sacred Gear's new form. The entire things had changed to a deeper red color, and had become more gauntlet-like than before. Before it was larger and thicker, but this one was more like an armored red glove that had sharp red armored fingers and a green gem on top of the hand. The thing looked like it would cover a good part of a person's forearm, and the yellow spikes moved to the back of the glove, with smaller red spikes going up the sides. The five fingers on the armored gauntlet were now more claw-like, while the armor on the forearm of the gauntlet became more scale-like.
Rias gasped as did Akeno who also recognized it.
"It... wasn't a Twice Critical... Fuck YEAH!" Naruto shouted while pumping his fist in the air. He should have known that he was right the first time he had guessed that this would be a good Sacred Gear. It may have looked like a Twice Critical at first to everyone, but this was a much more powerful Dragon Based gear than it originally looked. This was NOT a Twice Critical, this was the Boosted Gear!
"Yes!" Rias could not keep her excitement inside. "I knew he had to have a powerful gear,"
"Wait, he does have something powerful?" Murayama asked stunned.
Rias nodded and waved to Katase to read on as she was sure the book would explain.
The Boosted Gear was a powerful Longinus that could double the user's power every 10 seconds, and inside it was said to be a very strong dragon sealed away. It was not the strongest Longinus, but it was a powerful one. Naruto almost laughed at how the Fallen Angels had literally thrown away such a powerful tool out of the idea that it was a simply Twice Critical. Yeah, he had made a similar mistake, but he found it funny that they actually threw away a Longinus because of how it looked on the outside.
Rias laughed now knowing she had a chance at getting a powerful gear like that. Her excitement peeked even more as she remembered her counterpart had it as well, even if she had to find someone to us it. 'Wait, Naruto can touch it. That means my or rather her queen has a Longinus, Riser would not stand a chance then.'
"What are you going to do with it?" Koneko asked the number one question, while Naruto was honestly stumped at that one.
Rias blinked, "What, no! Naruto please have the gear to us. Please, please, please."
Katase and Murayama looked at Rias while the rest of her peerage looked embarrassed. Katase leaned over and whispered to Murayama, "She does know she is talking to a book right?"
Murayama just shrugged.
He had no idea what he was going to do with it, and using it wasn't something he really wanted to do for himself. Naruto shrugged and picked up the Sacred Gear before he placed it under the couch, he would leave it there until he could think of what he should do with it.
Rias gapped hearing what Naruto did with the Longinus while Akeno giggled and Kiba had a deadpan look.
At the moment nothing really came into his mind, because he knew that the Boosted Gear came at the cost of stamina, the more you used it the quicker it drained your stamina. Of course, he had a lot of stamina, but that didn't mean he could waste his stamina like an idiot by relying on a Sacred Gear to do his work for him.
He actually LIKED to train himself.
Katase closed the book as the chapter was done. Rias was still recovering the shock her counterpart's queen just ignored a Longinus like that. Koneko was thinking of what her brother said. If he had the gear that me might be dependent on it and not grow as strong. She knew Riser fell back on his immortally and even Rias her Powers of Destruction and she felt Issei might be the same. She decided that she would make sure Issei would not make the mistake the other may make.
Rias finally recovered and stood up, "Alright I think that is enough reading for now. We have to get you two ready to start making contracts and I have to keep an eye on Issei so I can turn him into a devil at the right moment."
"Contracts?" Katase asked as Rias held two stakes of filers out of nowhere for the two before her.
And another one down. Issei's gear is shown and Rias is now even more determined to get her new pawn. So next chapter Issei will be joining the reading as well and Rias's plan to get him will be reviled.
