Chapter Start

Jumping over a fireball Wendy, quickly launched a gust of wind at the location her opponent was standing. Unfortunately, her opponent was a nine-tails and therefore had a mastery of fire. The result was her wind simply supplying more oxygen for the fireball Kunou intercepted it with. Using her hands to push the wind in the opposite direction, Wendy allowed it to carry her out of range of her opponent's attack. Looking over, she was unsurprised to see Kunou had all her tails out and was preparing to launch another flurry for fireballs.

Kunou, for her part, was having a blast. She had never fought an opponent that she had such a natural advantage over. It seemed that all Wendy's attacks were able to do was fuel her flames, and this had caused her attacks to reach a whole new level of power. Thankfully, however, the other girl had realized this early on. After all, it wouldn't be fun if she accidently killed her friend. Swiftly throwing a few more fireballs she prepared to unleash a medium powered kitsune-bi.

Seeing the technique Kunou was about to unleash, Wendy quickly began gathering magic into her stomach and allowing it to travel towards her throat. Puffing out her cheeks, she waited until Kunou had finished preparing her attack before unleashing her own.

"Kitsune-BI"

"Sky Dragon's Roar"

The two attacks, upon meeting in the middle, turned into a near inferno with the Kitsune Bi feeding off the extra oxygen the Sky Dragon's Roar provided. It didn't take long for Kunou's attack to overpower Wendy's. Unfortunately, the minimal damaging attack had, at this point, grown into a far more powerful attack and was now heading to the nearly exhausted dragon slayer.

"Evil Explosion!"

No sooner had the words been spoken did all of the water from the river next to their spar suddenly impact the approaching inferno. Once that happened, the fire quickly turned to steam and successfully alleviated the situation. Turning away from the site both girls saw Mirajane currently in her Satan Soul form looking at them sternly. "You know, when I agreed to watch over your training session, I expected you guys to take it easy, not try to kill each other." Seeing both girls lower their heads and on the verge of apologizing for their actions, Mirajane continued. "That being said even I'll admit that was one kickass attack."

Teleporting to the Phenex estate Rias started walking down a hallway looking for her target. It had been awhile since she last saw Naruto and had decided to send him a message. The problem was she had sent it yesterday. Usually, it only took either of them a couple of hours at the most to respond. He had still not responded, and therefore, she had decided to pay him a visit and figure out why he was ignoring her. She had purposely come alone in the hopes that it wouldn't draw as much attention. There was no reason to let Riser know she was here or Ravel for that matter. Those two had always had the ability to rub her the wrong way and had proven so over the years. Riser reminded her far too much of a peacock that always wanted to spread its feathers and show the world just how great it was. He was probably the most arrogant and infuriating boy she had ever met, and while she didn't mind a little flirting, it was annoying seeing the way he treated women. Ravel was a different story altogether. She wouldn't have minded being the girl's friend however she could see the sentiment was definitely not reciprocated. The girl had been outright hostile, and she couldn't for the life of her understand what she had done to make Ravel hate her so much.

Running down a hallway Kushina was frantically searching for somebody, anybody, to go help Ravel before something bad happened to her. She had felt the power the other girl exuded and while uncontrolled, she was definitely a force Ravel shouldn't be taking on alone. It was annoying to be of so little help, but she could accept the fact that while powerful, she had been out of her element. On a side note, she wondered if it was possible for devils to get frost bite. Her toes were looking a little too purple for her taste. Coming across a bend, Kushina saw someone who had to be a long lost cousin if the similar hair colors were anything to go by. Though she only saw the girl's back, it was obvious she was sneaking around for some reason. Though, to be honest, with how eccentric some of the family's peerage members could be, she wouldn't blame her. "Hey, you!" The girl jumped at hearing that and looked startled. "Just who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?"

Turning around and hoping it wasn't either of the two she was avoiding, Rias was surprised to see the other girl. If her hair had been just a few shades darker, there was no doubt she could pass as a member of the Gremory family. Deciding that there was probably a chance this girl could save her a lot of time Rias said. "Well, to answer your question, my name is Rias Gremory, heiress to the Gremory clan. I am currently looking for Naruto Phenex and was wondering if you could bring me to him."

"Are you stupid?" Quickly covering her mouth and blushing furiously Kushina desperately wished the ground would simply swallow her up. She was familiar with the name Rias. After all, Naruto and Ravel had talked about her before. But now she had a face to associate with the name. Looking up and seeing a very unamused face Kushina quickly went about rectifying the situation. "I'm so sorry. My name's Kushina Uzumaki, and I was just surprised you didn't know where Naruto is. I had assumed you guys were friends given how much he talks about you and the amount of effort he's going through to cancel your engagement."

Blushing furiously at the thought of how much Naruto had apparently talked about her Rias said. "It's no trouble, really. I was simply surprised by your question. Now, while I do consider Naruto my friend, I am unfortunately clueless to his whereabouts. Would you by chance be able to shed some light on where he is." Breathing out a sigh of relief Rias was just happy she was going to find out the information and not have to deal with Riser or Ravel.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."

It was amazing how quickly someone's hopes could come crashing down. It had been too easy, Rias supposed, and nothing concerning Naruto had ever been easy. Rubbing her temples to ward off the approaching headache Rias asked. "And why may I ask are you unable to disclose that information?"

In response, Kushina put on a thoughtful expression. "I don't know. All I do know is that the only ones who can tell you are Ravel, Riser, Lord Phenex or Naruto himself, and he isn't here to tell you."

Desperately clinging to hope, Rias asked. "I don't suppose Lord Phenex is free at the moment." Looking at the other girl and silently willing her to tell her that yes, Lord Phenex could take her, and she wouldn't have to see the two people she despised most in this world she was disappointed to see her shake her head. Thinking about it and deciding to pick the lesser of two evils Rias asked. "Okay, where's Ravel? I prefer her over Riser any day."

On hearing the name, Kushina instantly remembered what she was originally looking for. "Ravel! I have to go find someone to help her!" Running past the girl, she quickly went in search of someone that would be able to help her Queen.

Watching the other girl run away Rias wondered what must be in the water to make everybody so crazy here. Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to go find the only other person that could help her. Naruto better be damn grateful she was willing to go through this much effort to find out where he was.

Allowing the vampire currently sucking his blood to get her fill Naruto used this time to analyze the people in front of him. There were five people in total, four girls, and one boy. That meant the boy must be the one that was capable of removing the rosary which was good to know. The other girls power was pitiful at best, and it was obvious none would be much of a challenge

The boy appeared to be a typical average boy. He was around 5'6", had black hair, brown eyes, and a relatively athletic physique. He was wearing the mandatory male uniform of the Youkai Academy and a bracelet on his arm that had some kind of cross hanging from it. According to the information he had gotten the boy's name was Tsukune Aono.

The person next to him was a beautiful girl who was about 5'5" and appeared to be the tallest female. She had long pink hair that ended just past the middle of her back, big green eyes, and a curvaceous figure with a modest bust. She was wearing the female uniform with the only alteration being the chockers around her neck that had a rosary hanging from it. She was obviously Kokoa's older sister Moka Akashiya.

Moving on he noticed the next girl was slightly shorter than Moka, had short purple hair, she has blue eyes, with a bit of purple at the top and it appeared that instead of her pupil being black it was blue. She's wearing a light brown checkered skirt, a white sweatshirt with long dark blue sleeves, long purple striped stockings with white shoes and a belt tied to her left leg. The girl also appeared to be sucking on some kind of lollipop. This was Mizore Shirayuki and apparently she was a creature that's power focused on ice.

The next girl while shorter one of the biggest pair of breasts Naruto had ever seen. She had short blue hair tied back with a purple headband that has one star on the side, and deep purple eyes. She is currently wearing a plain long-sleeved white shirt with a red bow tie, a pale yellow colored vest, a brown checked skirt and white leg warmers and plain black dress shoes. This was Kurumu Kurono and judging from her attire as well as the slight allusion surrounding her eyes she was obviously a Succubus.

The last girl appeared to be far too young to even be going to this school. She looked to be about ten years old and stood at about 5'2". She had short black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a yellow shirt with a cape over it, the normal skirt every girl wore, black boots, a witch's hat and was holding a wand in her right hand. The obvious witch's name was Yukari Sendo.

Seeing them looking at him and Kokoa warily Naruto decided to get to business and pointed at the only boy of the group. "You, do me a favour and remove the rosary from Moka Akashiya's neck." If anything that made the group tense up even more. "You might want to do as I say, once Kokoa's done feeding I promise you she's not going to be in the mood to wait for you to do it."

As if in response to that Kokoa detached her fangs from his neck and after licking up any excess blood, she turned her attention to the group her sister was a part of. "Now that I've gotten a meal, I suggest you prepare yourself Moka because this is the day I finally beat you."

In response, Moka began shivering slightly. "Listen Kokoa I can't fight you, we both know my powers are sealed away."

Smirking at the girl, Naruto pointed at the boy standing next to her. "As true as that may be, according to the rumour's he's able to remove the rosary around your neck and undo the seal."

Looking at each other Tsukune was the one who spoke next. "Listen even if we wanted to help you we're not exactly supposed to be releasing the seal all the time."

That seemed to be the wrong thing so say, because as soon as he had said it Kokoa's aura suddenly flared and encased her in a purple glow. "What do you mean you can't undo the seal!? That's my sister, you idiot, and she's trapped in her own body." Seeing the surprised looks on everybody's faces she yelled. "Oh don't tell me you're that stupid. My sister was born with her powers and had silver hair. That girl might have my sister's body, but she is not the girl I grew up with."

Naruto could now understand her pain. If it had been Ravel, he knew he'd do anything to free her. 'This is getting us nowhere, and the longer we stand here the less time Kokoa can use her power up.' Deciding to speed things up he lit his right arm on fire. "It would seem you won't listen to reason, so it looks like I'll have to use force." Once that was said, he chucked the fireball at the blue haired girl and was unsurprised to see her jump out of the way.

It seemed to have done the trick because the pink haired girl stepped forward. "Okay listen I know you want the rosary removed, but there's no need for violence." However, once she had said that she was forced to duck under a fireball that slightly scorched her hair. Looking up, she saw Naruto holding another fireball in his hand and giving her a look daring her to tell him to stop.

"It's quite obvious you will only fight if I make you so here's my ultimatum fight or burn. Your choice." Smiling at the end Naruto once more launched a fireball at the group and watched as they ran for cover behind a couple of trash cans. Turning to the other girl, he saw her looking at him in surprise. "I told you I would get you your fight, and I don't go back on my word."

In response, Kokoa looked to where her target must have been. "It's only going to hurt you more the longer you hide Moka. So, just come out and fight me."

However, Moka was too busy panicking behind their hiding spot. Glancing around she noticed everyone else seemed to be pretty shaken. "Guys, I know they're being jerks, but I'm sure Kokoa and her friend wouldn't actually hurt us." Her speech, while compelling, was utterly ruined by the fact that her hair was currently on fire.

"Um Moka, your hair's kind of on fire."

Looking confused at the girl's words Moka suddenly realized why she had been feeling kind of warm. Looking in the reflection on one of the cans they were hiding behind she noticed that her hair was indeed on fire. "Oh my god, you're right! Kurumu quick someone put out my hair!" Thankfully Mizore reacted quickly and froze Moka thus extinguishing the flames before she was left without hair.

Looking at the rest of the group Mizore noticed they all seemed to be glaring at her. "What? I put it out, didn't I? Now, we can figure out what we're going to do."

It was the youngest member that decided to speak next. "Why don't we just remove the rosary like they want? With the way things are going, we're going to have to anyway." Once she said that the whole group besides the still frozen Moka turned to Tsukune.

Seeing all the attention was on him the boy felt pretty nervous. "Look, guys, I'll talk to Moka about it, but I'm not making any promises."

Back with Naruto and Kokoa they were both simply waiting for the others to show themselves. It had been a couple of minutes and Naruto had finally stopped his onslaught since it didn't seem to be getting them anywhere. Turning to the girl next to him, he said. "You're sure they'll remove the rosary."

Still facing the spot they would come out of, Kokoa nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm positive. Moka wouldn't back down from a fight, no matter who's in control of her body." As if in response to her words the sun suddenly turned red and a group of bats converged in the spot behind the trash cans.

Stepping out from behind the hiding spot was the inner form of Moka. The only differences were that she had gained slightly larger assets, her hair had changed to silver, and she was no longer wearing the Rosary. Smirking at the two Moka started stretching out the kinks that had developed from being sealed. "Well, it looks like I have you to think for this Kokoa though I'm surprised by the lengths you'd go through just for a fight."

Naruto had been prepared for a lot of things. He'd been ready to see two vampires fight, see countless amounts of property damage and possibly even have to intervene before it got truly ugly. He had however not been prepared for Kokoa to suddenly leap from her position and with a shout of "Big sister" tackle Moka and wrap her hands around her waist. The sounds of multiple face palms could be heard.

Teleporting back to her home while carrying her unconscious opponent Ravel walked to one of the bedrooms set aside for the use of Naruto's peerage. Laying the girl in the bed, she exited the room and walked in the direction she had sensed Kushina's power. The other girl had no doubt been quite worried, and she wanted to make sure she didn't do anything drastic. Rounding a corner, she was surprised to feel someone collide with her, knocking them both down. Looking up, she was shocked to see Rias Gremory sitting opposite her and currently nursing her head no doubt caused from the impact. "What exactly are you doing here Rias?"

Getting up and brushing any dirt from her outfit Rias looked at one of the people that had the information she sought. "I was simply looking for Naruto when some girl named Kushina told me he was off somewhere and I was not allowed to know where unless you or Riser told me."

In response, Ravel lifted herself off the ground and smirked at the older girl. "That would be correct though unfortunately for you I'm not in a very telling mood."

Resisting the urge to wipe that smirk off her face Rias softly rubbed her temple to alleviate the headache she knew was going to get from this conversation. "Be that as it may, Naruto and I are friends, and therefore I'm sure he wouldn't mind me having that information."

In response, Ravel's smirk seemed to grow even smugger. "Humph, I don't know about that. If you two were really so close, I'm sure he would have told you where he was going. But since you're asking me, it's pretty obvious he didn't trust you with that information."

Gaining a tick mark above her right eye at that barb Rias once again decided to ty to be civil. "Look I know we aren't the best of friends."

"I wouldn't call us friends at all."

Ignoring the other girl's words, she continued. "But I'm sure you can understand me wanting to know where Naruto is."

Frowning at the other girl Ravel said. "Oh, I understand completely. I understand that you have feelings for Naruto and plan on ending up with him." Taking the other girl's now blushing face as all the answer she needed, Ravel continued. "I also understand that should you fail to cancel the engagement Naruto is going to challenge Riser in order to allow you a better chance of ending it. It's also to my understanding that should that happen you would have the ability to deny Naruto the chance of getting out of the engagement he would then find himself in and marry him against his will. So, as you can see Rias I understand more than you think I do."

Looking shocked at the other girl's words Rias frantically shook her hands and raised her hands as if in surrender. "Listen Ravel you have it all wrong while I may like your brother I promise I would never do anything like that to him."

Looking unconvinced Ravel walked around Rias and went back to searching for Kushina but not before leaving a few parting words. "It doesn't matter in the end since I'm going to do everything in my power to ensure that Naruto does not end up engaged to you. It honestly doesn't matter to me whether or not you end up becoming my sister but know this." Conjuring a fireball in her right hand Ravel turned her head to allow Rias to see just how serious she was. "Try taking my brother away and I will end you. I don't care who your brother is or that fact that you're the heiress of the Gremory clan. If you mess with my family, I'll destroy you, and I'll do it with a smile on my face."

It was a decidedly pale Rias that left the Phenex estate deciding maybe it would be best to simply wait for Naruto to respond back to her message on his own.

Floating in the dimensional gap, two figures could be seen. The first was a young girl with gray eyes and long black hair down to her hips effectively hiding her pointed ears. She was wearing a gothic Lolita dress. This is Ophis the dragon god of infinity, and she was currently facing the leader of Akatsuki Nagato Senju. Akatsuki is an organization Ophis set up sat serves directly under the Chaos Brigade. Nagato was a tall man with purple eyes that had ripple patterns running through them and shoulder length bright red hair. He was also wearing a black robe with red clouds placed on it.

It was Ophis who spoke first. "I trust the mission I assigned you is going well."

In response, Nagato nodded while passing Ophis an envelope. "Yes, we have been able to ascertain the location of all the tailed beast holders. We will soon send out men to capture them and bring them to you."

Ophis nodded her head. "Good every time you capture one I want you to have Naruto unlock their tailed beast."

Looking at his leader in surprise, he asked. "Yes I understand but how do you expect me to get him to agree to this?"

Still looking emotionless the girl looked around her at what had been and would once again be her home. "He will agree because I'll talk to him personally. The truth of the matter is this arrangement benefits him more than anyone. Every time he unlocks a tailed beast, he'll gain an ability from that beast until he has them all. Once that happens he'll be able to combine them with his flames and be able to command the legendary flame drive. When that happens, he'll gain enough power to be at the same level as me, and between the two of us, we can kick the Great Red out of the dimensional gap."

Smirking at the dragon as well as checking the time, Nagato noticed it was about time for his next rating game. "As interesting as this conversation has been I do believe it's time I took my leave. I have a Rating Game to get to and as the current number one, it wouldn't look good for me to miss it."

Turning away from the other man Ophis said. "That is fine, we were done anyway. I will be expecting your next report soon, though." Feeling the man disappear she took one last look around the space she occupied. 'Soon you will be strong enough Naruto and when that time comes I will finally be able to return home for good.'

-X-

Walking back to their dorms, it was an annoyed Naruto that watched the practically skipping Kokoa walk next to him. "You know, if you only wanted to see her again, you didn't have to drink my blood and lead everyone on into thinking you wanted a fight."

Still smiling Kokoa said. "Well, to be fair I knew the only way I'd get to see my sister was if I forced her to come out. As for the drinking your blood well it tastes so good I just couldn't resist, plus it allowed Moka to see me when I was stronger.

Smirking at the girl Naruto was about to retort before he saw Sinon running from what looked like some kind of giant snake. Turning to Kokoa he said. "Well as fun as this is it looks like Sinon needs me, I'll talk to you later." Running after the location where he saw them go he missed the smile Kokoa gave him when she saw where he was going.

-X-

Sinon was not having a good day. It had started when she saw Naruto jump from the roof to go help Kokoa. She had stayed until the point Naruto had started launching fireballs and had wisely decided it might be best to leave the immediate vicinity. So she had taken Silica back to the dorms and just when she was going to check how the battle went her worst fear had come true. When she had been passing the front doors, Mukya Archimo, a third-year student had dropped down in front of her. He was an average looking boy that had long brown hair tied into a ponytail and dark green eyes with a slit going down the middle. He was wearing the male uniform with the only addition being a gold watch on his left arm. Normally she would have chalked this up to it just being a coincidence, but when she had tried to walk past him, his tongue had literally shot at her. While she had been able to duck under it in time, she had been forced to run away from the follow-up attack. These events all led her to the current situation she found herself in, running away from an older student who most likely was going to catch her and once he did do unspeakable things to her.

So Sinon ran for as long as she could but unfortunately that did not account for much. The chase had lasted for a couple of minutes before she found herself in the forest surrounding the school facing Mukya. The only difference was that he had apparently decided to transform into his monster form. Currently he was a gigantic brown snake that appeared to be over thirty feet long. Putting her arm in front of her Sinon formed a magic seal and was elated to see her bow appear in her hands with a quiver full of arrows appearing on her back. "I don't know why you chased me here, but I promise that whatever you plan on doing to me won't be as easy as you think." While she said this she was notching and arrow and taking aim.

Smirking at the girl's actions, Mukya began slithering around her and watched as she kept turning in the direction his head was. "My dear Sinon I've been watching you since last year. I know exactly how strong you are, and we both know you need someone to protect you. So here's my offer become my girlfriend and I'll protect you and that cute sister of yours."

In response Sinon quickly pulled back the arrow before letting it fly. However, she was horrified to see Mukya move out of the way before lunging at her and biting into her arm. Feeling her body suddenly go numb she could only watch helplessly as the creature currently injecting her with venom suddenly wrapped its body around hers.

Mukya was having a wonderful day. He had been carefully and methodically trying to figure out everything he could about Sinon. She was definitely a nekomata from all the times her tail and ears popped out, but he had been delighted to find that she specialized in ranged combat. It had made planning her capture all the easier and now that he had her all he had to do was inject her with his race's paralyzing venom and bring her back to his dorm. It had been a simple yet clever plan, and he couldn't wait to see it come to fruition. So it had been a big surprise that when he had tried to slither away with Sinon in his hold, his path had been blocked by a blue fireball. Looking up he was met with the sight of the boy he had seen Sinon hanging out with earlier.

Folding his arms over his chest Naruto frowned at Mukya. "Didn't your mother ever teach you how to treat a lady?" Seeing he was getting no visible response, he tried a different approach. "Look let's make a deal. Let her go, and I'll forget I saw you do what you're doing, or I'll make you let her go."

Depositing the girl and getting into a striking position, Mukya asked the boy. "And what makes you think you can make me do anything?"

Smirking at the animal Naruto said. "Well that's simple didn't you know birds hunt snakes and a little snake like you won't be a challenge for me." Right after saying that Naruto was forced to jump out of the way of the snake's lunge. Landing on the ground he was forced to continuously dodge the strikes of Mukya.

Once more going in for a lunge Mukya said. "Can you see now it doesn't matter how strong you are the second I bite you you'll be too paralyzed to fight back."

Mentally face palming at his own stupidity for not thinking of this earlier, Naruto allowed the next strike to get him and using the shock of his opponent, he grabbed onto Mukya's head before igniting himself on fire. The screams of the snake were music to his ears as he casually dropped the now crispy snake onto the ground. Giving his body a couple of seconds to heal the paralysis venom Naruto walked over to Sinon and casually picked her up. "You know when I said I would beat up the monsters that came for you I expected more of a challenge." Feeling her arms suddenly encircle him Naruto smiled fondly. "Don't worry Sinon you're safe I got you."

Sinon for her part was grasping onto the man who had saved her. She had been so ashamed of herself, unable to defeat Mukya had only solidified what she already knew. She was weak, plain and simple. She had tried so hard and all it got her was a bite of venom. Once she had lost feeling of her body and felt the snake wrap itself around her she had wanted to break down. It had been so hopeless but then Naruto had come and saved her from a fate worse than death. She wasn't sure how safe she was on her own, but she knew that as long as she was holding onto him, nothing could touch her. So it was a very tearful Sinon that currently had her arms wrapped around her saviour. "Thank you, I'll never be able to repay you for what you've done for me."

Smiling down at her, he tightened his hold on the girl. "And you never will have to."

Chapter End

Okay a couple of things, first I know some of you are concerned Ravels being a brat. I would just like to point out that she's the only daughter of a wealthy devil family yeah she's going to be spoiled and not afraid to get what she wants. Her character will eventually become accepting but regardless that's how that will go. The next thing I wanted to address was that many of you think the girls I'm using are all so young, well first Mirajane's 18 and second the main characters 13 I can't make them to much older without making it unrealistic. Next before you guys get all angry about no fight between Moka and Kokoa id like to point out that there never was on in the actual show either, however that doesn't mean Naruto won't fight Moka. I also have noticed that I've been hyper focusing on this story a lot and its caused me to miss things I normally wouldn't so in order to combat this I'm going to be making another story besides it, it will be a Naruto/Fairy Tail story but I promise this story takes precedence over any others. On a final note I have posted what the votes came out to and as you can see some where close. So in order to find out how many girls anyone wants I will be posting one more poll where you pick the group you want. This setup allows those that want a single pairing a higher chance of winning so good luck and once again thanks for reading another chapter of the immortal birds.
