Blood Born

by PlaguedAmbition

What separates a Devil from a Human? Both revel in sin and play trifle games. Now though, as Naruto Carmilla takes the stage, the Devils will be joining him, they will play 'The Game' and learn just how vicious a Vampire Prince on a quest for revenge can be.

12. Do take care now my Dear

PA: Hello everyone, no I did not die. I am still here, I just got caught in a small spell of writer's block. In saying that though there are a few goodies that came with this delay, goody number one would be its length. Yes enjoy the 20k+ words of this chapter! Number two, first lemon of the story, it was a little strange to write and I had actually planned it differently when I first started this story, but it worked out, kinda. Number three, now some may not be happy about this, others might become ecstatic, the reason is simple, due to a game that has recently caught my attention I have decided to dabble in a new... Well not exactly new, story. Your sneak peak is at the bottom of this chapter:P

I would also like to thank DalkonCledwin for picking up on my mistakes in regards to Naruto's family name.

Now onto your reviews!

Fires Of A Thousand Suns: Now there are many reasons as to 'why' Victor could be 'cool' with the idea, the first is very simply due to time. We don't really meet Victor until Rias is entering her teens, at least in the story. So we don't really see the interactions between them from that point in time when they were younger, we do have when Victor let Rias go out to find Akeno, but other than that I can't really recall him showing up. Another reason could be due to the fact that he has a harem of wives or mates that he can entertain himself with, losing one for a couple of months more than likely wouldn't bother him that much. Lastly, well the last reason I am going to bring up, it was mentioned that Rias was to be married to Riser so they could create a strong child. It is all too possible that Victor agreed to letting Sirzechs sleep with Venelana so that the chance of Rias being born with the Power of Destruction would be higher (Please don't crucify me on genetics I don't know that much!) which would make her a useful piece in order to build alliances with families later.

Then again, they are also devils and see the world differently to us I guess, so who knows?

StayBlessed: You could say that Riser got off light, but on the other hand Naruto now pretty much has a chain around the Phenex Clan's neck. He has kept rather quiet about what Riser did, purely so that he could use it to blackmail the Phenex family into a position that favours him, as seen with the alliance formed between the Gremory and the Phenex. So while Riser did not suffer, Naruto is making the entire family dance due to his mistakes.

The Great Dullahan: Take a calming breath, in a way I think having a dotting and overprotective father would make more sense then a brother. Then again I don't have a little sister and my little brother is tough enough to stick up for himself, so maybe I was just raised too differently so I now see it as strange? But eh yeah, so Victor is raising his granddaughter as his daughter.

Angeldoctor: Sorry it is a tad bit late. Though the whole thing the Rias did to hurt Naruto was that she nearly slept with Issei to break off the marriage with Riser. That is if you hadn't gone back and found it yet that is.

ARTIITHEHERO: Yeah I am updating it with this chapter, it is about time someone dealt with that misleading summary.

DanteNaru: I have no clue how to make a website, but if you know someone that does I will be more than happy to give the information to them. To be honest I feel that if I make a website I may spend more time refining the character bios (I do that heaps, like people get angry watching me do it) then actually working on my stories.

Alzeno: Venelana is still married to Victor, she just had a child with Sirzechs, I went over the possible reasons as to why Victor may have accepted this in the first review.

Guest: Lord Gremory didn't have a name when I started writing and planning this, that is why his name is Victor.

User-san: Trust me, you didn't miss much, the plots didn't make much sense, at least to me they didn't. They didn't get many views or reviews which makes me believe that other people saw that as well, this along with the fact that I have evolved a fair bit as a writer since then means that they were removed so that people didn't have to look at those relics.

Biblio388: I try hard, but sometimes I don't think that there is enough to make it truly feel alive. I want people sitting there reading my stories to be like 'Yeah, this Naruto would do something like that' or 'I can't believe they still won't let Irori off the hook about being a maid', that kind of thing. I want the characters to grow up so to speak from the canon selves to be stand out members of this story, so much so that you can nearly predict how they would react to certain situations because you understand them so well.

EL ASAKURA MAYOR: Grayfia knows the truth and accepts it. It is how devils are, after all Sirzechs' father has a harem of his own, so while to us it is no doubt frowned upon, to devils it would more than likely be a shrug factor in the moral section, but in the political section I plan on it having more of an impact.

DalkonCledwin: I am not going to lie, when writing chapters this large, because I don't have a beta, sometimes simple spelling mistakes make it through.

In regards to Dracul's spear, the sword that Naruto uses is the enlarged tip of it, the place that he holds onto it where it would be attached to the shaft while the sides have been made to become razor sharp.

The reason for his sword changing so much, was due to Naruto wanting to be able to move faster so he changed the design, but when we first see the sword, back when he is fighting against Moka for the first time, it takes the shape of what would have been Dracul's spear tip, only larger.

In a fight there is no doubt, Krul would destroy Mina. Which also shows the gap in siblings as the last time we saw Naruto fight against Krul was a three on one where he won without a doubt, which was before his training with Death.

Also we all know that Moka can be a little temperamental at times:P

Though in regards to Mina speaking with an archaic tongue, trust me I need to change that. Most people don't understand how much of a pain it can be to make sure all of those outdated words are used correctly when many of them can mean the exact same thing. Basically it is like learning to speak a second English. Not fun.

Though with Naruto inflicting 'fatal' wounds. We have to remember that the system in place is made to stop people from dying in the game. So he can kinda go all out without having to worry.

To say that Krul will be displeased that there is another Tsundere would be an understatement. Then again Moka might just get angry because she thinks that Ravel is copying her in an attempt to get Naruto's attention.

Then again, Irori might just be the most displeased, not to mention Kuroka, neither of them seem all that keen on more girls gathering around Naruto.

Disclaimer: I do not own this.

"We must act on this news!"

The voice reverberated through the dark room lit by candles that burned just enough to show the outlines to a normal eye. But to those in the room it was as if they were standing out in a field under the rays of the sun... Though many of them knew not what that felt like. To them, the lighting in the room was fine.

"Doest thou care for repetition?" Came a young yet commanding voice. Sitting there was a look of disdain on her young face was Mina Tepes, once again listening to the prattles of the Tepes faction council. She was clad in an elegant gown that came down to her ankles. She was looking at the speaker from earlier, the one whom had caused such a stir in these sacred halls.

The pale scraggly male stiffened under Mina's gaze, though it was not him that spoke, "My dearest Mina, they would feed prancing tales to your young ears to excite you. If we had any real details on this 'Blue Blooded Vampire' character then we would have already run it past you and have plans in place, not some fanciful ballad sung by a man with too much drink in his stomach."

Mina turned her attention to the new speaker, one Minato Tepes. His blonde hair was pale, but not as much as his skin. His body was clad in form fitting black leather while a long coat with an upturned collar covered his outfit, left open at the front. He was one of the highest members of the council, along with being her father. Her face pulled into a faint smile, "Thou would do well remembering that thy should be first informed. Pushing forward, any word of thine brother?"

Minato gave a small sigh, "I spoke to your quean( Queen is a monarch while quean is 'an impudent girl or woman') of a sister about this."

"Thou would dost well to think proper of thy former queen," The glower of Mina was intense. Though Krul may have up and left one day, Mina would not allow people to speak ill of her elder sister, "...'Tis irksome to dawdle here," With that spoken Mina stood up and left the room, not bothering to look at the others. This happened often, mostly do to the fact that Mina stayed on top of her paperwork for the Tepes faction, thus she was mostly kept up to date through that, otherwise one of her handmaidens would inform her of a change.

In fact normally she would be the one to call these council meetings once a month to either deal out new orders to the members or to ask if they have found anything on her sister or brother. Though it was a time before they could be sure Mina was out of range, once she was though Minato let his smile slowly fade as he extended his hand out and grabbed the one that had called them together to speak of the Blue Blood, "Now that our Queen is gone... What do you know?"

A photo of Naruto from four years ago, flying high in the air with blood running down his leg was pulled out from the man's coat along with another more current one, "These were taken from videos that were broadcast in the Underworld... The person in the picture is called Naruto 'The Rose Hero' Carmilla... He has been seen in the company of one calling herself Krul Tepes, my lord."

Minato tapped at his arm, "My failure of a daughter has managed to find my sole son... I am not sure if I should feel pride in Krul for managing to do something right, or extreme irritation in the fact that she hasn't brought my son back here!"

Esturge Vladi faintly narrowed his eyes, Minato Tepes was claiming to be the father of Naruto? That boy that Venelana had asked him to look for when he went missing? Now though he had appeared again in the Underworld, and from the look of the picture he has undergone some drastic change in the past four years. He had of course kept in touch with Venelana over their many years alive, so the past four were no different, despite their stance on the situation... Also he felt a little relieved that he was able to report that they hadn't found her 'not quite adoptive son'. Though he had also learned about Naruto during this time, and if he knew Minato half as well as he believed that he did, then Minato would try to play Mina to get to Naruto.

Naruto would of course come for Mina, but not in the sense that Minato would believe, sighing to himself Esturge cleared his throat a fraction, it managed to quell some of the whispers from members of the council speaking about the lost Carmilla family for the least, "Would it be wise to rush things so? After all father's are not normally well received by their children among vampires."

His question was simple, apparently Venelana had been required to pull Naruto off of Sirzechs when the later had proposed that the former should show some respect to his father. Naruto Carmilla hated his father with a passion, this was something that could not be mended or helped to ease away, Venelana had apparently tried only to find that Naruto was always tense around the mention of his father.

Minato gave a warm smile, "My daughters love me Esturge, surely they will tell their older brother that I am someone that can be trusted no?"

"From memory, Krul and yourself did not part on the best of terms Lord Minato... She may have already whispered sweet words into his ears."

The smile left Minato's face, "Then we must deal with her as the time comes. My son takes precedence over all other things. Both the merging of Carmilla and Tepes blood along with his blue blood."

Esturge inwardly frowned, this was becoming something of a worry, this whole ordeal with Naruto Carmilla that is. It left a bad taste in his mouth.

---

"Do you care to repeat that?" Questioned a commanding voice, her features were pale yet elegant as a mature doll-like face looked down at a much younger frame.

Elmenhilde looked up at the current Queen that lead the Carmilla faction, her mind still clouded from what had just happened, "As I just said, while conversing with the Devil, Venelana Gremory, Naruto Carmilla appeared and I was able to make contact..." Elmenhilde stood up and extended her hand out showing a small crystal inside of it which sparked to life showing a picture of Naruto to the rest of the council chambers.

Queen Masikly Vuldo, with her long blonde hair styled into loose drills licked her lips, "Isn't he quite the tasty morsel?" Many other females in the council chambers seemed to be in agreement with her, "Leave the picture up, I shall drink in our potential King' appearance while you continue your report."

Elmenhilde quickly nodded and cleared her voice, "He spoke calmly when he rejected our offer to take him in, he claims to already have a faction of vampires behind him... Though the Tepes do not seem to be behind, nor do any other faction in Romania."

The whispers of the council chamber ceased as Masikly leaned forward, her ruby red eyes taking in Naruto appearance with clear thought, "Could he already be allied with the Night Children?"

"I know not my Lady, though Krul Tepes, the former Queen of the Tepes faction whom vanished years ago stands strongly behind him... Along with one called Moka Akashiya..."

"Dracul's guards?!" Shock was clear on the Queen's face, "They vanished into the nothingness after Dracul's death... this is.. worrisome... Or perhaps a boon?"

Elmenhilde nodded her head, "I came to a similar thought. If he is indeed allied with the Night Children then they may be brought into light for the first time..."

Masikly leaned back into her throne as a fond smile came over her face, "Our Prince is already making my mind run laps, I can not wait to meet him. Do we yet have a date?"

"Not to meet with Lord Carmilla alone no. Though I was informed that a celebration of his return to the Underworld would be happening two days from now, and while it was difficult to arrange due to the attack that the Gremory Household suffered four years ago at the hands of vampires... I was able to negotiate travel rights for you and I my Lady," Elmenhilde kept her head down, though she could clearly hear the amusement that came from the Queen.

"Oh and why you and not someone else Elmenhilde?"

The young vampire in question gave a slight bow of her head, "I have met with Venelana Gremory a number of times, not as many as Esturge Vladi, though still quite a number. This has built a small amount of trust between myself and the Gremory Household which was used to grant us access... Though I very much would like to meet a Blue Blood in person as Dracul was before my time sadly."

Masikly pursed her lips into a thin line, "As was I. Most these days were not around during the rule of Dracul as many died on the battlefield... Even still the advancements and the joining of factions that Dracul brought forward can not be argued, thus the pledge was made... Regardless, contact the tailors, myself and Elmenhilde will be approaching a Carmilla Blue Blood, nothing but the finest will be allowed to cover our bodies as we do!"

"Yes my Lady!" Rang the voices in the chamber as numerous bodies vanished into mist leaving Elmenhilde and Masikly alone in the chamber.

Masikly strolled down from her throne and stood near Elmenhilde, "As you understand well, I am looking for a mate."

"Yes my Lady..."

"I believe I have found myself that mate."

"... I do understand my Lady, but you are not alone in that venture... my Lady."

Masikly gave a warm smile, "That makes the fight that much more interesting my dear Elmenhilde."

An elegant yawn left the mouth of Naruto as he read a report in front of him, he blinked at the action, "Kuroka... have you ever wondered why we yawn?"

From the other side of the room, laying atop Naruto's large bed on her stomach, as she flicked through one of his books on 'Black Magic'. Her legs were moving back and forward as her kimono rode right up, if one was to walk in now they would bare full witness to what her short clothing normally hide. Her lips pursed in thought, "I hadn't no nya~... Isn't it just because you're tired?"

"No one really knows why we yawn. Humans have wasted entire lives trying to figure it out. Some believe it is to increase oxygen flow to the brain, yet others believe it is to cool down the brain, another theory is that it was a form of communication between the primitive humans that has stayed in our genetics... People really have no clue," Naruto informed her as he turned around. Taking in her cute expression as she thought about his words.

"It doesn't make sense that people would waste their lives like that nya~..."

"And it makes sense that we have locked ourselves away in this dark room to traverse books that have been written by the hands of those long since dead?" Naruto questioned as he put down the report he was reading. His lips felt a little rough and he frowned, though it didn't last too long as Kuroka strolled over and picked up the report, scanning over it.

"Names nya~?"

A sigh left the lips of Naruto as he sunk back into his chair, "Tomorrow nights guests... Are you going to behave my naughty kitten?"

Her arms slinked down around his shoulders as she rested her head next to his, her eyes still looking over the names, "Of course nya~?"

"Si vis pacem para bellum... If you want peace prepare for war... This will be our first public showing as a group. This means that critical eyes will be locked onto our forms the entire night," He raised his hand to gently stroke her arms before placing a peck on her cheek, "The world should know that we will not just let them push us around, like they seem to believe will be the case."

Kuroka pouted, she didn't like it when he pulled away, it showed that his mind was currently somewhere else and not all on her, "This explains why the security has been increased so much... The amount of vampires on this list is quite high... Have you spoken to Krul and Moka about this nya~?"

"... Someone should prepare Gasper as well, or at least inform him that his father will be present. A surprise like that could be dangerous..."

"Hence why you took the guest list nya~?"

"Sometimes I think I liked you more before you started forcing yourself to read all of my books..."

Kuroka pressed her lips to his cheek for a few moments before pulling away and strolling over to his bed, "I love you, thus I want to understand you nya~. To me that is all there is, I want to know you more, to understand how you think and why you do the things you do nya~."

Naruto calmly stood as he prepared for a knock at the door, though before it could even strike Kuroka spoke, "Who is it nya~?"

There was no reply, before Kuroka could tell Rias to 'so kindly leave' Naruto spoke up, "Come in Rias," He ignored the look he got from Kuroka along with the glares that were exchanged between the two, for his attention was more focused on the appearance of Rias at the moment. He quickly closed the distance, holding her in place as his fingers hovered just from touching her skin, by the looks it would be painful as it seemed that most of her bones were broken. If nothing else he had to give her credit with withstanding the amount of pain she would be in without a sound, "Kuroka, get me Moka."

"Naruto it doesn't look tha-"

"NOW KUROKA!"

Not another word was spoken as Kuroka rushed out of the room leaving Naruto and Rias alone. He gently guided her to the bed, he saw Rias try to speak but quickly hushed her, "Speaking will only cause more pain," He frowned as he looked at her, "The girls have gone too far this time... I apologize for letting it get to this level Rias," black mist slowly rolled out of his mouth and entered her nose and the tiny gap between her swollen lips. Her eyes started to droop and she clutched his arm tightly as she started to panic.

"N-no d-d-d..." Though her protests died in her mouth as she fell under the effects of Naruto's air magic which put her body to complete sleep.

He lay her down gently as he rubbed at his forehead to quell his anger, "She said that she would take any punishment that Moka sought fit you know..."

"Krul..."

"Why didn't I stop it? That's what you were about to ask right?" She mused allowed before continuing as she walked into the room and took a seat in one of the many chairs, "This game of theirs, fighting to see if the prissy princess is 'worthy' to purse a relationship with you... I think it is childish, which is the main reason why I told Irori to tell her not to bother with me. You're my older brother, you would know better than I, at least I would like to believe so."

"..."

"Do not try to hide that you're older... I know that there was a time difference of some sort when you met Death, you changed much too much to have only been gone for the time you were away. You're completely different now, you space out when you think... At times it feels like you are not really here with us any more. You are different from what the Naruto that the princess knew and she has no doubt changed in the time you were away, so don't rush into these things, if not for the sake of my shrivelled heart, then maybe for your own?"

An awkward silence passed between the two, "What should I do Krul? Do I need to smack heads together to get my point across to everyone? Because it seems that my words no longer have any real meaning to you all. You just do as you please."

"Already seeking my council, are you not worried about a Tepes dog whispering honey into your ear?"

"You're avoiding the question Krul," Naruto stated in a steely voice that left no room for back talk.

Krul dipped her head and gave an uneasy laugh, "For me... I would just want you to sit down with me, away from everyone else and tell me how you really felt about what was happening... Moments like that can sort out issues with communication. From my understanding, Moka has no real experience in romance, she hasn't even read anything about the subject, thus leaving her purely to run off of her feelings, though she doesn't want them to get in the way of her duties as well. This is somewhat shown by her turning into a tsundere."

Naruto thought on her words for quite a time. His brows creasing as he did. Though as he went to speak he got a small "Looks like my time is up," as Krul vanished from the room. A few moments later Moka strolled in, pausing at the door as she saw who was laying on the bed and tried to turn away without making a sound.

"You do know I could hear you walking from down the hall. Turning away now is pointless... Sit."

"Really I am fine stan-"

"I insist Moka, take. A. Seat."

Moka flinched, she had heard this tone once before, thinking back they never did find out what had happened to that low-class vampire that had insulted Irori and Kuroka. Now though, being on the receiving end of that tone made her consider options she could use to escape, swallowing, along with hoping to keep her breakfast down Moka opted to speak, "I uh... About the current situation, the Heiress did indeed ask to-"

"Do I treat you unfairly Moka?"

Naruto's question had caught her by surprise, wasn't she meant to be getting scolding now? That is what should be happening in this situation right? "N-no you don't..."

"Am I putting too much pressure on you Moka?" Naruto had no idea where he was going with this at the moment, but it couldn't hurt to ask these kinds of questions at this point right?

"I'm fine, really there isn't anything wrong... In fact... is everything okay Naruto?"

Naruto opened his mouth up and punctured his index on his fangs, he watched as Moka seemed to grow excited before he leaned over and squeezed a few drops of blood into the mouth of Rias. The sound of bones breaking back into place quickly filled the air, "I feel that you went too far this time Moka... Though it may have been because I didn't tell you how I felt in this situation, thus you took it into your own hands to find that out."

Confusion was clear on Moka's face as she looked at Naruto with her blood red eyes, "I.. I don't really understand Naruto..."

"If you could please hold for a moment, once Rias finishes healing we can start."

"S-start? But I am not ready?! I thought surely that Kuroka would be first... I haven't heard anything but maybe she was, I just thought she would prance about and tell everyone when it happened?!"

Now it was Naruto's turn to be confused as he looked at Moka who seemed to be captivated in her own little world now. He let it continue for a time as he finished feeding Rias his blood, it was not long before she was suckling his finger like a babe on a teat. After a few minutes he pulled away, rubbing his finger for a few moments and sealing the wound up completely, "Arachna, can you please take Rias back to her room. She should be awake for dinner."

Moka snapped out of her own world as the large spider dropped down from the ceiling like it were some magical portal on a thread of her own web, "I can do that for you master... Oh Moka... It is always a pleasure to see you squirm under my gaze child..." Arachna picked up Rias as gently as possible once she landed on the ground and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

A small squeal of frustration left Moka once Arachna was gone, "I. Hate. Spiders!"

"Arachna would never raise a leg to harm you Moka, I can not see your reasoning behind your fear. Then again it seems like we don't understand each other at all. I had called you here at first out of anger and would no doubt have lectured you on your actions... Though it was brought to my attention that, although we have been together for quite a number of years, we don't really know anything about one another," Naruto clasped his hands together and gave his full attention to Moka, "I shall go first if that is okay with you?"

Moka nodded, suddenly feeling very out of place. Like his simple gesture was enough to increase how severe the situation was, thus she watched as Naruto parted his lips ever so slightly to begin his talk, "As you know, my goal is, or rather was quite simple; I plan on uniting the Vampire Race once more. Now that I have gained strength, I do plan on bringing in those that attacked my mother, along with getting rid of any... troublesome people that may still exist. To do this I will need to return and take up the position of 'King of the Vampires'."

"I want to stand by the Vampire King's side as his trusted hand. One he can count on to do things that may otherwise tarnish his name."

Naruto gave a firm nod, "Good, good. Now that our 'official' goals are out in the open... What I really want, is to live a simple happy life, one where those I care about aren't in any danger of being hurt, even by each other. Though because of who I am, a simple life is impossible, so I will do everything in my power to create a world where everyone can be happy, where everyone can live in relative safety. For that to happen I need to be stronger, I need those around me to be strong as well so that I can leave at times when I am going to places that are too dangerous for you all... I do not like to be away, but I hate the thought of you all getting hurt because I was not strong enough to protect everyone."

Moka nearly recoiled at his words. It was the first time she had seen him seriously doubt his own ability, to say that it was strange would be an understatement, he was after all, ranked as the strongest vampire in the Night Children when he was giving it his all and released his limitations. If he did that, there was no chance of her keeping up with him, no... There wasn't anyone in this group of people that had gathered around him that would be able to keep up, "... I... I want to be by your side, no matter what...I can see that there are things that you need to do, and I want to b there for you when you do them... But you've changed since you came back here... Since you saw her again. That is why I despise her. Because she seems to be taking you further and further away from us all! We've all seen it Naruto!" Her fists were clenched as she nearly roared out her frustrations. At least they were until she felt Naruto's hand slowly envelop her own.

"I have been focused. I do not mean to push you all away, but there are people in the underworld that I must gain favour with, or push into corners, otherwise my plans, our plans, everything will fall apart. It is like back home, when I am playing 'The Game', exactly like when we are back home Moka," He gave her a kind smile which caused her cheeks to rise in temperature.

Moka knew what would happen when Naruto would play the game, thus she calmly touched his hands and nodded, "Then I shall wait for a small time, to keep a warm lap for you to rest your head on my King."

Naruto leaned forward and pressed his lips to her forehead for a few seconds, "I do not deserve someone as reliable as you Moka."

The younger vampire widened her eyes in shock as she heard Naruto's shirt being unbuttoned his neck and shoulder became bare and her fangs extended out on instinct. She leaned forward to bite but quickly stopped. Seeing her hesitate, Naruto gave a slight nod of his head before feeling her fangs sink deep into his skin.

It was like an explosion in her mouth as his blood rushed in then her mind went blank as pressure rushed through her head, her arms looped around his neck as she sunk her fangs in deeper, she shifted forward trying to take in even more of him until their balance was shifted off and they fell to the floor.

Even still she did not stop, the sweetness of his blood as it trickled down her throat was causing a fire to course through her body. Moka quickly climbed onto his lap as her hips ground against his, her sense of judgement gone, deeper, more, she needed more of him, his blood, his touch, his scent.

Her his neck her hands quickly reached up into his hair as she made fists, taking her fangs out and pausing to look at his face once again, her blue stained lips parted and she leaned forward and hungrily claimed Naruto's. Her tongue darting into his mouth and trying to compete for dominance only to find herself flung onto her back her mouth parted in a hiss as she was forced to look up at Naruto as a growl left his mouth.

His pale lavender eyes both exciting and scaring her as they bored down into her body. A toothy smile graced her lips as she looped her body around his once again, "What shall we do now my grace?"

Naruto looked down at the hungry Moka before giving a small sigh, "I want to relaxing in all honesty, but we have things to do Moka, so I am going to need everyone to be on their game tonight for we are meeting with the High Council of the Underworld, along with the Maou of course."

"Naruto..." Her voice trailed as the emotion, her feelings had been killed so quickly and ruthlessly in a single sentence.

"Let's have a feeding when we return? All of us?"

Her attention was back on Naruto, watching as the holes in his neck sealed without any issue. He raised his fingers and wiped the blood from his neck onto them before offering it to Moka who stared at them for a moment before looking up at him, "You promise?"

"Yes, tonight we shall all be together."

---

Rias straightened out her dress as she looked in the mirror, everything had to be perfect for tonight. Last night Naruto had been in a meeting by the time she had woken up, his group had all been in attendance and apparently they had not returned until some time this morning where they all turned in for some sleep. The Maou had been with them, which only drew more questions.

Rias had picked out a form hugging long red dress that had a slit up to her thigh, her back would be exposed if not for hair long red hair cascading down it. Rias looked at her face in the mirror, lightly touching her jaw and lips, all things that were swollen yesterday or broken. Now though they were perfectly fine, no better than they had been in fact. Her skin was smoother than it had ever been, not even Phoenix tears would have healed her to that extent. Not to mention she had awoken in her bed, not Naruto's.

She pulled her hand down and lightly clenched her fist, she felt stronger. Rias was able to recall these feelings and effects from what Sairaorg had told her about when Naruto had given him his blood, so far everything seemed to be matching. A warm smile spread across her face, "You do still care..."

"Fufufu, I think it is redundant to think otherwise at this point Buchou," Akeno commented from the side, she was clad in her miko attire and was wearing it proudly.

"Senpai is just awkward at showing affection..." Trailed the voice of Koneko as she played with the hem of her white cocktail dress, which Akeno had great pleasure in forcing her into.

Done with her final check Rias gave a small nod before walking towards the door, Koneko and Akeno following behind her. Asia had of course already left, wearing a long white dress that one may actually get married into, bless that pour soul.

Leaving the room they tore down the hallways at a brisk walk before entering through one of the side doors to see that the ball room was already filled. Rias had to remind her jaw that it should be closed at the scene, the amount of people that had gathered was beyond what she had imagined.

"This is a welcome home party right Buchou?"

Rias was not sure how to answer Akeno's question with words, thus she just gave a small nod of her head. It was at this time that she saw Asia standing along with Kiba and Issei, the boys were in matching tuxedo's with a red tie, Issei's earlier protest about the tie seemed to be gone now as he ogled Asia before noticing her and swapping his gaze full focus. Rias turned to face Akeno slightly, ignoring Issei for the moment, "We aren't late are we?"

"It does not seem like we are Buchou..." Akeno trailed, she wasn't quite sure, though she could not see Naruto which meant that the chance was good.

Then all attention was drawn towards the entrance way as the announcer cleared his throat, "Now presenting, The Carmilla group, leading them, Naruto Carmilla; Ultimate Class Devil, Progenitor 2 and Vampire King."

Rias snapped her head around to Akeno, though the look of shock she was getting back meant that she was just as surprised about Naruto's promotion as she was. Though she was quickly drawn back to Naruto, gone was his normally crisp outfit of white shirt and black slacks. No, now he looked every bit the vampire prince he was. He was clad in a tight black leather top, above where his heart resides is the white rose of Carmilla while he had black silk pants covering his legs along with dress shoes and a large flowing black robe that covered the majority of his form. His hair was parted to fall down over his chest while his bright blue eyes looked over the room.

"On his right is Irori Nemesis, his loyal Queen," Gone was the maid outfit, that would be enough to catch most off guard, if that was the case then they certainly wouldn't be expecting a silver dress that hugged her form and showed what was normally hidden. A beautiful woman that fought with her all and was overpoweringly strong. Currently she was holding onto the right arm of Naruto as they slowly made their way down the stairs, her sides exposed while her hair was maintained in it's usual manner.

"On his left is Kuroka Carmilla, Rook and master of Senjutsu having trained extensively under the sages of the Yokai faction," Kuroka's normal kimono was gone, now it was replaced with one that was much longer, but in the same sort of style. Her hair was pulled up neatly and held at bay by a white rose. She looked out and saw her younger sister, giving a warm smile to her. It had been a few days since she had been able to see her adorable little Shirone after all.

"Onee-san is wearing clothes..."

"Fufufu, it appears that even Kuroka will dress up for Naruto."

"I just can't believe she is still calling herself his 'wife'..."

"Following is, Krul Tepes, Younger Sister, Rook and Vampire Queen. On her right is Moka Akashiya, Honour Guard, Knight and Vampire Queen," Rias looked on in confusion as a pink haired woman walked down in a Gothic dress in black that had its fair share of frills. Moka's dress was much cleaner, being nearly exactly the same as Rias', only in silver and the back had thin fabric holding it together.

"Shoko, recently made bishop. On her right is Shikamaru Nara, Gashadokuro and Bishop," Shoko wore what she normally did, while Mikoto and Shikamaru were in black tuxedos made specifically for this event by the people in Atlantis, much like everyone's clothing. White roses were pinned in their left breast with a matching white tie running down their black shirt and jacket.

"Last but certainly not least are the two pawns, Mikoto Suoh and Anna Kushina, Ifrit and Phoenix respectively," It appeared that neither of the males of Naruto's group looked like they wanted to be here, this could be guessed by the looks of disinterest that both of them carried. Anna on the other hand was smiling brightly to everyone as she wore long white dress with a white feathered scarf draped over her shoulders.

Claps had been heard through the entire announcement, it seemed that everybody was interested in the kinds of people that Naruto would gather around him, though his line up seemed to be incredibly rare and filled with titles that popped out it seemed. Though Rias heard the whispers revolving around Kuroka and found herself torn. Not knowing which side to stand on, the situation had been explained to her and she had been cleared of her crimes, plus she had seen the pure love that the Nekoshou held for Naruto, so much so that it was hard to picture a situation where she would ever try to attack him.

As the clapping of the masses started to die down everyone turned to the sole remaining source, though when they did they saw Sirzechs Lucifer making his way towards with each clap, a warm smile on his face as Grayfia trailed behind him in a long blue dress that clung to her womanly figure, Sirzechs was of course in his Maou robes as per the event, "It is wondrous to have you back with us Naruto, even more so after we sealed the alliance between our sides last night."

Sirzechs' words froze those that were in the room, though the pleasant and calm smile that came across Naruto's face seemed to show that what Sirzechs had said was correct, "Indeed. The Underworld and the Children of the Night, last night the final details were dealt with and our alliance was officially formed. The council of Elders, the Maou, and those back at Atlantis all decided that tonight would be the right time to announce such a thing. With that," Those following Naruto all bowed towards Sirzechs, "We thank you for allowing us into your home on this eve," Naruto bowed as he finished.

Grayfia mirrored the actions of Naruto's group as Serafall, Ajuka and Falbium all strode down the stairs and assumed the same position, "And we to, thank you kindly for allowing us to embrace this dark night with you."

Then in perfect sync both parties stood again and Naruto and Sirzechs shook hands, turning towards the masses with wide smiles on their faces, "Drink till your liver cries in protest, for tonight is a celebration!" They announced to the room whom, with eyes that were still wide started to cheer.

Rias was frozen in place though, even as the masses cheered, she could not pull her eyes away from the sight in which her Queen and her brother stood side by side on equal footing. Then it happened, she met the gaze of Naruto, his eyes that looked like they could release rays of ice that would freeze the world, had noticed her looking at him. Rias watched as the corner of his mouth turned up ever so slightly as he turned to face Irori and whisper something to her.

"It is quite odd for one such as yourself to not be celebrating this union Rias Gremory," Came the cold voice of Irori from behind her. Quickly snapping her head around just to check she wasn't hearing things confirmed that Irori was now behind her.

"You... How are you over here?!" Rias nearly shouted but quickly remembered that it could cause a scene and calmed herself.

Irori rose a delicate brow at Rias, "I walked? That would be the simplest explanation. Going further may be too complicated," Irori looked around the room before frowning, "Where is Gasper?"

Rias looked down towards the ground, "He... He said that he was tired and would catch up on his sleep tonight..."

"A shame, it appears that his childhood friend Valerie Tepes has shown herself tonight..." With her voice trailing Irori vanished again. Rias turned her head to Akeno who quickly nodded and went to inform Gasper of this.

"Ah Rias-sama!"

At the sound of the young voice Rias turned on her feet, nearly knocking into a servant that was behind her. She recovered herself and gently took a glass of wine from the tray, then with glass in hand she looked around and widened her eyes in shock as she took in Ravel standing there in a pink dress, her regular drills were in place and a warm smile was on her face, "R-ravel?! But I heard that you were sick?"

"A-about that Rias-sama, Naruto-sama healed me back to perfect health. Even a little further if I must say so, though it has only been very light activities, I have noticed that I am doing better!" Ravel informed her with a bright smile.

Rias smiled, "I was actually about to go see Naruto myself, would you like to join me Ravel?"

"I... uh, No really I don't want to impose!"

Rias quickly shook her head, "It would be no imposition at all, compared to them at least," The last part she uttered under her breath.

Ravel seemed to fumble around for a few moments before nodding, "I-if you ask me then I must adhere."

Rias just nodded and motioned for Ravel to follow her as they waded through the masses, it did not take them long to reach Naruto and Sirzechs who were conversing with the house of Bael at the current moment, "I was surprised to hear that a group thought to be a tall tale was real, let alone that you would be forming an alliance with the Underworld!" The head of Bael chuckled out in good nature.

"Yes it may come as a surprise to many," Naruto gave a small chuckle back, "But with the technology and techniques from the Children of the Night, along with the numbers and magic of the Underworld, well... It was rather clear that as long as our beliefs and theories did not directly oppose each others that an alliance was natural to come."

"Oh, so will trade be commencing between alliances?"

"Of course," Sirzechs spoke, "But first we will need to understand one another better, though Maou Leviathan has already experienced it a little, she wishes to return to Atlantis with a handful of trusted and well behaved Devils to see the Night Children in their natural environment."

"After that, well as stated the Night Children are much more advanced than Devils, though Devils have something that we need more than anything else, something that has been sorely overlooked. Devils are able to heal much faster than other races, this means that they would be able to feed us without any real damage at all to their way of life, and well, the items coming from the Night Children are top. secret," Naruto almost chided lightly.

The head of the Bael family narrowed his eyes at Naruto, "Is that your way of saying that you have nothing to offer us?"

Serafall was the one that answered this time though, "Lord Bael, have you not heard that Naruto-san here is not only the voice of the Night Children, but a Vampire of Blue Blood, one that has gone beyond both science and nature to become a Doctor that can cure any wound or sickness without the use of Phoenix tears?" Serafall had decided to omit the reasons why Naruto wanted to become a doctor though, it would not look good for their ally to be known as someone who learnt how to heal, just so he would be able to give someone the most painful life possible.

Naruto saw Ravel and inwardly smiled, "Ravel-san, can you please come here for a moment?" Now put into the spotlight of a dangerous political conversation Ravel stiffened for a moment before being lightly nudged by Rias, who received a mouthed thank you from Naruto.

Quickly making her way she stopped just shy of running into Naruto, "H-hai Naruto-sama, you called?"

"Yes, now there was no shortage on the reports that young Ravel here was injured beyond the Rating Game, this injury came from a poison of my own making, though it is the treatment method that I will be sharing along with other medical breakthroughs, supplements and augmentations that are crafted," Naruto informed lightly before lightly tapping Ravel's shoulder, "Ravel can you please call out your wings for a few moments?"

Ravel gave a confused glance before understanding what he was saying. A Phenex was able to be measured in their strength by the size of their flaming wings, it was simple knowledge and everyone had seen how large her wings were during the rating game, with a small nod she jumped up into the air and called her wings out, feeling the large flaps as they formed and held her in place along with the warmth that they provided on her body. She looked around and nearly gasped, she was not the only one as now all eyes in the room were on her. She trained her ears to below to hear the conversation for when she could come back down.

"Her wings have become larger than young Riser's..."

"Indeed, this was a supplement that I added into her diet while she was recovering. Her natural energy has been nearly doubled during her recovery. This means that her control will be lacking of course, but this is a supplement that can not be abused," Naruto gave a slow wave of his hand, "You can come down now Ravel, you are still recovering after all."

Ravel nodded and quickly dropped down to the ground and pulled her wings in, feeling a little dizzy for a few moments, "I-I just wanted to thank you Naruto-sama, I am recovering quite well as you may have seen."

Naruto nodded his head a few times, "Yes I did, thank you Ravel, I am sorry for asking this of you, but could you please wait to the side with Rias for a moment while we finish here?"

Ravel understood, things were now turning to the more political side of things. Thus she quickly moved to meet back up with Rias. Irori and Kuroka whom were still standing directly next to Naruto looked over to Rias and Ravel giving carried expression.

Naruto cleared his throat lightly to draw attention back to him, "As you can see, our medical fields are quite advanced."

"Indeed that was quite the show, for such an improvement to have happened in this small amount of time is remarkable... If you were able to achieve such results I wonder..." The head of the Bael family trailed as he eyed Naruto.

The vampire prince just gave a kind smile, "Sairaorg Bael, or are we on different paths?" Naruto saw the Head of Bael wink at him as if to say that he was right, "I can not promise anything, nor will I do so if he is unwilling. Though theoretical I may be able to to unblock whatever it is that is stopping him from using the power of destruction... But I feel as though I should ask if you truly want that?"

"You ask if I want the heir of the Bael family to be given his birthright?!" Veins started to throb on the forehead of the head of Bael.

Naruto though was staying cool, "The way I see it, in a few years he could become an Ultimate Class Devil without the Power of Destruction. He would still be able to pass it onto his children, but would it not show that the Bael clan is strong enough to become Ultimate Class Devil's without their Power of Destruction. To show the world that you do not need your signature magic type to stand at the top, for example, the Gremory Household used to be known for their illusions, yet once the current Lord Gremory rose to power and showed his true strength during the Great War, did it not change from the Gremory Family only being seen as support type fighters, to instead them becoming Devils that could bring at the full potential of any type of magic they set their sights on?"

Naruto's words hung heavy in the air, having quelled the earlier rage of the head of Bael, who now stood there, tossing the thoughts around in his head as if savouring their taste, "... I shall inform Sairaorg Bael that it may be possible for him to get his hands on his birthright should he so desire... You brought up a good point and I would like to discuss such matters with you further at a later point Naruto Carmilla."

Naruto lifted his arms up and crossed them over his chest, hiding his hands inside of his long sleeves, "Indeed we shall. For if we were to delve into conversation here, I do fear we may end up consuming all the drink for the guests just to keep our throats moist!" A light hearted chuckle came from Naruto, one which was shared by the Head of Bael before he lightly tapped Naruto's shoulders and walked away with a wide smile on his face.

Once he was out of earshot Naruto released a tired sigh as black flames burnt the spot on his shoulder for a few moments before vanishing, leaving the clothing completely unscathed, "I really wish people would stop trying to decide the future of others without their permission."

Sirzechs gave a light laugh, "Not everyone is like that Naruto."

"Riser Phenex."

That single name caused Sirzechs to recoil a little while Serafall giggled at the situation, "Though it is quite regretful as I would like to play longer, we should let Naruto see to those that are waiting for him," Serafall frowned before putting on a forced smile as she shooed Sirzechs away while giving Naruto a small wink.

'Note to self; Thank Serafall, buy her something pink... she'll like that.' With his mental note stored Naruto looked towards Rias who was about to take a sip of her 'wine', "I wouldn't drink that Princess, it has a fair bit of bite."

Rias looked at the glass in her hand before taking a sniff and recoiling, she had been holding blood the entire time, that could have been a very messy mouthful, shaking her head lightly she walked forward with Ravel in toe. When she came before Naruto she gave a little curtsy, "Vampire King and Ultimate Devil? Well haven't you been busy?"

"Kuroka, Irori, please make this a private conversation?" At his command the two took a small step away and shimmered a dull white for a moment, "There, now no one can hear us in here. Speak freely you two," Naruto saw Rias dart her eyes towards Kuroka and Irori quickly, "They can not hear you either... I spoke to them all last night after what happened and have asked them to at the very least calm themselves in their methods, because if it happens to go that far again, I will not be as calm as I was this time."

Rias gave an uneasy smile, "I didn't really need you to step in Naruto."

Naruto's lips quickly formed a thin line, "From what I saw yesterday, it was clear that you needed help," He gave a light shake of his head, "But lets talk about that in a minute... Now that we are away from the prying ears of others, are you still doing okay Ravel?"

"P-perfectly well thank you very much Naruto-san. I wanted to congratulate you on becoming an Ultimate Class Devil... I feel quite honoured to have fought against you just prior to your promotion."

"Honoured now comes in the form of clenched fists I see?" Naruto mused lightly as he crouched down and lightly touched her bawled fists that had turned her knuckles white. He eased his way in and forced her to relax her grip, "Don't try to force yourself too hard to maintain a 'public face'. It is all right to be angry that you lost, but learn from your mistakes, grow, evolve and become something greater than what you were."

Ravel nodded her head a few times before looking at Naruto with puffy eyes, "I really didn't want to lose, not ever!"

Naruto nodded at her answer, "No one wants to lose, but we have to at some point, at those times we just need to stand back up."

"E-even you?" Ravel timidly questioned, she could not picture the man in front of her losing to anyone.

A joyous laugh left the lips of Naruto, "Indeed. No matter how hard I try I can't beat my Sensei," As those words left his lips the shroud of silence around them had fallen. Naruto looked to Kuroka and Irori who had stupefied expressions on their faces.

"CAW!"

Ravel froze in place as a large crow was present on the shoulder of Naruto, when it had been bare moments before. The crow studied the room before looking at Naruto and tilting its head as if asking as question, "Caw?" Rias was not fairing any better as she stared at the red-eyed creature that was much larger than it was supposed to be. For this bird carrying away a small child would be no issue maybe even large dogs if it had to.

The room was deadly quiet so the sound of horse hooves striking the ground were easy to hear through the large halls as they echoed. The large doors that would open onto the banister that was connected to the stairwell were slammed open as a pale horse reared its front legs high in the air before setting them on the ground again. The rider cloaked in black commanded the horse to take the stairs down while the crowd watched it do so with ease, their breaths baited as the horse passed by, those that had been around in the Great War dropped to kneel before the rider as he approached Naruto. It only took him a few moments to do so, "I did not think you were one to attend balls my student?" The voice of the rider was something that could not be described, almost like a mixture of dark, light, formal and laid back, so many mixes all to create a voice that could not be compared to.

"I did not think you would be returning any time soon," Naruto shifted his gaze to Kuroka and Irori who had become statues under the pressure in the room, "Really you are suffocating everyone here."

Death spared a glance to those in the room before looking back at Naruto, "These are the creatures you surround yourself with? Those you battle alongside?" What called be called a slight chuckle came from Death, "Such trivial existences I shall meet them all at some point."

"I doubt that you came here just to slander mortals Death, everyone will fall to time in the end."

"Gods do not fear time, neither do those above them. These creatures, they are not ready," Death's voice dropped a little so that it was near a whisper, "You gained the attention of Pestilence, Famine made his move in Africa while War has moved to start conflict between the Elves. Are you going to stay here and drag everyone into such things?"

Naruto looked towards Death in a chilling tone, well for anyone else it would have felt as such, "I don't plan on placing burdens on anyone."

"You have already placed a large one on me child," Death let out a sigh as he turned his horse around, "If you continue to partake in things like these, you will only make yourself dull... A dull blade shall not ever reach me."

"Then I will just have to sharpen myself so I can cut on an atomic level," Naruto retorted as he drew his hands from his sleeves, extending one up to rub the crown of the large crow, "Please don't use my familiar to spy on me again Sensei."

"Was he not a gift from myself so that we could stay in contact my young student?"

"I suppose," Naruto retorted as a large sum of bodies appeared on the ground in front of him, "Oh, I didn't know we were bringing each other gifts today?"

A light chuckle escaped Death's mouth, "I was bored brat, though you could probably handle it, try not to expose your neck so much... It will make common trash think that you're weak."

Naruto stepped forward and the large crow on his shoulder hoped down onto the ground, playing with the bodies that had large holes where their hearts should be. After a few moments the crow was able to find what it was looking for, a rolled up piece of parchment that was tied up with a pendent on a cord. This pendent was something that Naruto knew well, the crow picked it up and handed the parchment to Naruto, who unwrapped it and quickly read through the contents while the crow jumped back up onto his shoulder, "Oh, Oz is going to start playing? I am a little disappointed that they hired assassins though..."

Death started to walk away, though not without a final sentence, "A few dozen would not be enough to make you flinch at this point... I left one alive to tell them to send a nation next time... You are welcome."

Naruto gave a light shake of his head as Death walked out from the hall, "And there you go setting up such a large gift for me..." The doors had closed signalling that Death had left, the hall grew full of whispers, though Naruto let out a tiny sigh from his mouth, "Shikamaru, could you please clean these up?"

Without a word, from a nearby table, an incredibly large shadow formed and clawed its way out of the ground turning into a skeleton that made people look like children as it reached out and picked up one of the bodies, placing it into his mouth and snapping its jaw shut. A sickening crunch sounded out that made the younger children feel sick and cringe as they tightly clutched at their stomachs, "Thank you for the meal."

Rias had been placed onto the sidelines during the conversation, yet she too was having trouble holding in her stomach at the sound that was playing out through the hall, "Do not make me repeat myself after this time," Naruto started as he cleared his throat, "Peasant or King, Ant or Dragon and all between, whom so ever dare bare their fangs," Naruto lifted his right hand, showing the ring that he received from Death to the room as brilliant azure flames sprouted from his feet, screaming to suck in everything around them till it turned to nothing but ash. A serious and grim expression came over his face, as if he was glaring at the entire world, "Will receive not a single hair of mercy from my body."

Shikamaru's skeleton gathered the rest of the bodies and took them back into his shadow the crunching vanished as Naruto's flames destroyed the blood which had pooled below the bodies. The fire vanished shortly after that as Naruto returned to having a much more relaxed posture, a warm smile on his face as he looked towards the masses, "But tonight is about celebration, so drink everyone, for you have very much deserved it to make everything till now possible. I share bright hopes for our future together for you have welcomed us so kindly onto your land, and we have welcomed you so kindly into our night."

A few seconds passed before people started to clap and even cheer. The apprentice of the pale horsemen was one of the leaders in this alliance? They could not ask for a better flag bearer. Rias though had heard most of the conversation between the two, and knew that Naruto had every intention of fighting the horsemen. The cheering slowed and people went back to drinking and spreading rumours, though Naruto caught the glances that were thrown his way, the Devils had become weary of him, it was to be expected now that the truth about his abilities had been brought to the attention of the public, even still he crouched down a little so he was at the height of Ravel, he would do well to finish his conversation with her before his incoming argument with Rias appeared, he could see in her stance and eyes that she was not happy, "Losing to a creature that can stop even the strongest Devils in their tracks with a glance doesn't count," Ravel answered with a small pout.

"A loss is a loss, no matter how you try to paint it. If that was the case, would you not consider your loss to me to be null and void?"

Ravel looked down at the ground for a moment, "We had you outnumbered sixteen to one..."

"I fought a battle where my enemy multiplied every time I hit it... you might remember that?" Naruto taunted her watching as Ravel pouted further, "The truth though... It is just that I know more and I train hard. Becoming strong is not a dream, it is quite easy for people that are willing to dig deep, work hard and study even harder. Those who are willing to learn, to push themselves, to sweat and to bleed. They need to break their bodies again and again, while they also break what their mental limitations," Naruto's words rang heavy in her head, though he quickly picked up on something, "If you want to do that kind of thing though, I would ask that you please wait a week or two longer so that you can be at your absolute best."

Ravel nodded her head strongly, "I.. I understand, I will learn and get stronger and stronger... Then next time I won't lose!"

"That is the best mindset that one can have. Stay with it Ravel and you will become strong, this I promise you," Naruto reached out and lightly rubbed her head, ignoring the creeping blush on her face as he did.

"H-hai! I will do my best and thank you again Naruto-san!"

With that Ravel ran away, unable to control herself any more she went and hid in the embrace of Raven, whom was standing nearby watching like a hawk. Naruto glanced at Irori and Kuroka, who were currently issuing out orders to vampires and the members of his group alike, doing their best to run damage control over what had just happened. He looked towards Rias and gave an awkward smile, "I know you're angry... Are you going to yell?"

He watched as her head turned to look at the ground, her hands clenching into fists as she suppressed the urge to grit her teeth in frustration, "No... I know why you didn't say anything... And it hurts... It hurts that I am so weak that you can not even tell me your plans out of fear that I might get in the way..."

Naruto watched as Rias worked through her thoughts, there was so much that he could say, but he figured that she believed that she needed to say this, thus he left it. Watching as she laid out her weakness for him to see, her thoughts on an open page. This is the kind of person she was, Rias would blurt out everything to him if he just stood there without saying a word. It was always like this.

"I see that... I see that we live in different worlds... I want to stand by your side but I am can not even hold my own against Shoko, the weakest person in your group was playing around with me. I want to get stronger and stronger like Ravel... I tried doing it on my own..."

"You grew stronger, there is no doubt about that. But that is all that happened, you did not improve your movements, your speed, your castings, even your technique was still incredibly basic... But you were stronger. You achieved what you wanted," Naruto cut her off watching as she looked up at him with puffy eyes.

"I got stronger?"

"Well more powerful. You didn't really get any stronger, I bet you would still have trouble lifting my training weights," Naruto lightly joked only to see her cheeks puff out in frustration.

"I can so! I was even training with them the other day!" She clasped her hands over her mouth a moment later when she noticed how loud she had been.

"You're still great at making a scene."

Rias quickly shook her head , "I... ye... Maybe? Either way, I want your help Naruto!" Her reply was a raised brow from Naruto which prompted her to continue, "I want you to help train my peerage."

Rias quickly grew confused at the expression that Naruto had to her words, it was as if she were informing him of something that was blatantly obvious, "I have to, that was already clear, not just because of your recent results, but more due to the fact that... Well it is difficult to say this to you Rias, but your piece is not strong enough to remain inside of me..."

The weight of his words was heavier than anything she had felt before, nearly sending her to the floor in shock. Yet there she stood, on shaky feet, looking down to the ground with disbelief, "... I, I didn't think that it was true. That it was just something that was told to young devils to get them to train hard... I... I didn't think that we would be split up..." She found herself brought tightly into the chest of Naruto and she clutched at his robes, "N-Naruto..."

"You say the silliest things at times Rias. Pray tell me, when did I say that I would be leaving? That we would be split up?" His words caused her to look up into his soft smiling face, he gently wiped away the tears that had started to fall from her eyes, "You seem to cry so easily these days..."

"At least you're taking responsibility for wiping up the tears you've caused..." Rias gave a small sniffle before shaking her head, "And I cry so much because I lost my main support for a long time... It was hard to continue on without someone whom you held so dear you know?"

"Each year felt like a century..." Naruto answered with words like a whisper, he leaned down and placed a peck on her forehead.

Rias though gave a light shake of her head, "Not there," A second pressed against her cheeks, "Close," His teasing was going too far now. Rias leaned up on her toes, parting her lips as she brought them close to his, she had forgotten how good he smelled, how good he felt, her lips brushed passed his, "This is where I wanted it," She let out in a sultry voice before joining together with Naruto.

It would be hard not to feel the gazes on her back, if it were not for the fact that her world had shrunk considerably in the past second. Not reaching out past the man in front of her as her arms wrapped around his neck, her supple lips brushing past his again and again as their mouths danced, one of his hands trailing across her hips and moving to the small of her back while the other cupped her cheek, her heart was racing, there was not a doubt in her mind that Naruto had already heard such, though she could not pull away at the current moment, his taste kept luring her further and further in.

Though after a few more moments Rias remembered exactly where they were, a deep blush staining her cheeks though she continued to look up at Naruto, her embarrassment quickly turned to a scared look, "You promise you won't leave?"

"I won't."

Rias nodded her head, "Will you sleep with me tonight... As in sleep sleep not sex sleep!" Rias quickly rushed out the second part after she noticed what it must have sounded like at first.

Naruto though gave a quick peck to her forehead, "Of course. Though you'll have to forgive me, it seems that I must partake in boring discussions," He gave a small nod of his head and Rias turned to see Kuroka and Irori off conversing with some rather important looking people.

"I... I will see you later tonight then..."

"You will Rias," With his words spoken Rias understood and moved off to the side to gather her peerage. As Rias did that, Kuroka and Irori ushered the vampire factions towards him as Krul and Moka appeared at his back. Krul had gone back to their room and changed into her normal outfit once her body had returned to normal now that she was no longer pumped up on Blue Blood. She appeared behind him with her skit fluttering slightly as she descended down to the ground, "I prefer you like that."

"Oh Brother, are you sure you did not want to hold me down and ravish me while I looked like a woman?"

Something akin to a high-class snort came from the mouth of Naruto, "No, if I am required to have a younger sister, I would want her to be as cute as possible."

"N-Naruto..."

"I can give compliments at times, do not make it seem as though I am only every nasty," Naruto retorted lightly as the vampires were brought towards him, he eyed the three, already knowing all too well who they were.

Queen Masikly Vuldo, current leader of the Carmilla faction. Her gown was black and elegant, while flare out from the waist down, the corset that was built into the top did nothing to hide her figure. Nor did the low cut front, which exposed the tops of her breasts or the high collar do anything to hide her elegant neck.

Elmenhilde Karnstein, she was of high rank in the Carmilla faction, but more than that, she was often seen as the ambassador for their faction. Her dress was made of fine material, just like the Queen's, yet Elmenhilde's hugged her form in a shroud of deep black. A matching veil covered her face, though those burning red eyes of her's were easy to see through it.

Valerie Tepes, the youngest of Naruto's sisters, yet the oldest looking of them. This was due to her not being a pure blooded Tepes like the others. Valerie looked to be around sixteen, her skin was fair and her hair a pale blonde. She was clad in a flowing blood red dress.

The final one was Esturge Vladi, he was clad in a tuxedo as he looked out to see Naruto standing in front of him and widened his eyes in shock.

"Valerie!"

The call that came out caused heads to turn in the direction. Standing there was someone Naruto had not see outside of a photograph. Gasper Vladi, Rias' bishop and holder of a Sacred Gear. Naruto turned his head slightly to Moka who nodded, vanishing and mist and appearing behind Gasper, she grabbed his suit's collar and moved back to standing behind Naruto without a single word, "Wait a moment Gasper, for drawing attention to yourself at a gathering like this can be quite dangerous unless you understand how to deal with it."

Gasper slowly turned his head to look at the back of Naruto, it was the first time he had met him, yet he strangely felt a need to do as he said. Could this be due to him being the Queen of the peerage he was a part of, or was it due to the fact that the rumours of him being the son of Dracul actually being true. Gasper looked and saw the eye of Naruto watching him, it was only the corner, yet even still that was enough. He saw the burning blue iris of Naruto's eye from that slight glance and he knew they were not the same, "H-hai..." Gasper stuttered out, though his voice was soft and dry, to put it simply, Naruto scared him beyond what was normal, and he couldn't figure out why. He knew this was not the same fear he had of people, no it was almost an instinctual fear that he held for Naruto.

The four vampires came to stand directly in front of Naruto, he pursed his lips slightly, "Let us talk somewhere... darker, the light is starting to hurt my eyes a touch."

"So thoughtful," Masikly nearly purred out as mist started to surround the group, when it cleared the group of vampires had vanished completely. From a nearby table, with a cigarette hanging from his lips Mikoto sighed.

"Looks like the study is going to be full tonight."

Across from him Shikamaru gave a small burp, though he tried to hide it behind his hands, he looked over to Mikoto and gently pat himself down, which only earned a sigh from the redhead as he tossed a packet of cigarettes at the starving skeleton, "You're a life saver you know?"

"You could always just buy your own... Naruto does pay us you know?"

Shikamaru gave a tired sigh as he lit his cigarette on one of the candles before slumping down onto the table, "That would be too troublesome..."

---

The transportation of the vampires went off without an issue as they landed without so much as a sound in Naruto's study. Naruto himself moved to take a seat, flagging the others to do the same. Once they were seated Irori gave a low bow, "If you would kindly give me your orders, I can have food and drink prepared that will please the palate of a pure blooded vampire."

Irori received apprehensive looks, Naruto though gave a small chuckle, "Irori does not jest, I can also vouch for her words. Just a cup of coffee for me Irori."

"Of course Naruto-sama."

Masikly did not even look to Elmenhilde to see what she thought on the matter before answering for them both, "The same if it is not too much trouble Irori-san."

Esturge was about to speak only for Valerie to beat him to it, "Tea... I have always wanted to enjoy a cup of tea."

Irori lightly bowed her head to them, "I shall be but a moment."

With her words spoken she vanished into the next room. Kuroka looked at the wall where she knew Issei was punched through days before with curiosity, they truly had fixed it quite quickly.

Though it was another in the room that had gathered a large amount of attention, "Krul..." Valerie didn't know what she felt when she saw her sister again.

"Valerie..." Gasper said in a near breathless voice. It had been so long since he had seen his childhood friend after all, now to see her standing on her feet again, it was quite a sight.

"Gasper."

A sigh left the lips of Masikly, "This is why the Carmilla can't have nice things, the Tepes are too strung up on their emotions..."

"One should be careful about how the speak in regards to my sisters," Naruto spoke calmly as Krul went and sat on the arm of the chair he was in, an innocent look running across her face.

"K-Krul... what is he saying?" Valerie stuttered out, Gasper was put on the back burner for the moment.

Krul though gave a small shrug of her shoulders, "Like I said, I left my position as Queen Tepes behind in order to find my older brother. I have done that, here he is Valerie, our older half brother, Naruto Carmilla."

Naruto dipped his head at Valerie who looked between him and Krul with shock on her face, "B... But all those times that father said..."

"Queens of a faction are much more crafty than we let on sister. I have no doubt that Mina knows about Naruto by now, the amount is something that I can not guess," Krul had a faint smile on her lips as she spoke, "Though in regards to that, our brother has me sorely beaten. He unified the Night Children in such a short amount of time, you would not believe how many different factions had arisen in that group. Then there are the political games he has played with devils and the information he obtains. It is quite scary to think that we are related at times."

Valerie stood up and took a shaky step towards Krul, that was all she needed to though as Krul closed the rest of the distance before any of them could react, "I missed you Krul... home is not the same without you."

"I am sorry Valerie, but I can not stand to live under the same roof as that man any longer... There is change coming though Valerie... But for now, why don't you meet our brother?" Krul gently pulled her youngest sister over to Naruto. Making sure to carefully gauge her reactions.

Thankfully there weren't any negative ones, no it just seemed as though she was quite overwhelmed by the entire thing. Krul let go of her hand just before they reached Naruto and Valerie felt her throat go a little dry, "B-brother?"

"You don't have to strain yourself if it feels too weird Valerie... How are you feeling today?" Naruto of course understood Valerie's frail condition, well he did not understand, but he knew of it. When Krul had informed him he had buried himself in books for nearly a week straight trying to find something... And something he found.

"I... I feel rather good today. Thank you for asking brother," Valerie gave a shy smile after her words, it was strange to meet someone you should have known your entire life sixteen years after it has begun. Her gaze travelled to Krul for a moment, how must her oldest sister have felt when they finally met.

Naruto gave a small nod, "I have to say this is much better than when I met Krul, that is of course if you don't have plans to fight me that is."

"Krul?!" Valerie near shouted in frustration, which of course was answered with a small shrug of the pink-haired sister's shoulders. This caused Valerie to sigh, "You always were pretty hot headed."

"Hardly, though I believe that there is someone who wishes to speak you with sister?" Krul tilted her head in the direction of a near crying Gasper getting a shocked response from Valerie who quickly moved over to Gasper's side, "This is why children should not join in the conversation of adults..." Krul trailed as she moved back to sit on the same chair as Naruto.

Glances were given around the room until the door was opened and Irori returned pushing a tray filled with drinks. Without pause she placed everyone's orders in front of them. Naruto's coffee along with Krul's were of course given to them directly and Irori took her place behind Naruto, standing next to Kuroka. Naruto took a sip of his coffee before smiling, "Excellent as always Irori. Though now we should talk about what was able to drag vampires with such renowned names here?"

Esturge frowned lightly at Naruto's words, "According to the Tepes council, officially you do not exist."

Naruto leaned forward, hiding his lips from Valerie and mouthing his words to Esturge "So you decided to sneak my youngest sister out of vampire territory, away from the prying eye, whoops my bad, the true ruler of the Tepes faction, Minato Tepes, in the hopes that Valerie would be able to talk to Mina when they are alone," With that done Naruto leaned back a little and smiled, "Isn't that such a sad duty for an ambassador to carry?"

"You are wise beyond your years with many more eyes than would be apparent and ears that can hear from across oceans," Esturge answered with a sigh as he glanced over at Gasper, a small smile pulling on his lips. His son seemed to be happy of a sorts here, that was good. Maybe once all of these things with Minato were dealt with, he would be able to welcome Gasper back with open arms. That creature was vile, so much so that he would lock up one of his own daughters in a tower to never see the light of day just because she was a half breed. He did not have any regrets about abusing her power though.

"There is a betting pool about how old I actually am, do you want to cash in on that Esturge?" Naruto joked lightly before shaking his head, "Either way I have a few conditions that you can have, while I would like to unite the vampire race, I honestly do not need neither the Carmilla nor the Tepes faction," Naruto's words were a little skewed but he was telling the truth, "The Night Children already follow my lead and we have allied with the Devils to supply ourselves with an endless supply of blood."

Esturge and Masikly both felt how quickly this had turned to be well and truly in the favour of Naruto. He really was right, from his standpoint, he had nothing but issues to gain if he joined with either of the factions, "It is already said that I will be King should I make a move towards the throne. I am still quite young and have a lot of things that I still need to do... But before I can even consider the Tepes faction two things must happen, firstly, the safety of my younger sisters. I want for his claws to be removed from them without delay. The second, which can help achieve the first... Also, I do not mind if you abuse my name or blood to do so, I want Minato Tepes in chains before my feet."

Valerie who had been paying faint attention to the conversation between the full bloods paused in her conversation with Gasper at what she just heard. The hate in which Naruto spoke of his father's name, it was not normal. She lightly bit her lip as she looked at Naruto, Krul was lightly stroking his hand, though it did nothing to remove the white knuckles that had formed from his fists. Valerie did not know her mother, for she died in childbirth, the same with Mina's. Though from what she was told by Krul when they were younger, vampires had a strong connection to their mothers. Judging by the fact that Naruto's name was Carmilla, would mean that he was the last of his line.

If father had hidden that from them, there was a reason. Judging by the hatred in Naruto's voice, it was something that could not be forgiven. Valerie gulped down a breath as she turned to face Naruto, "What did father do to make you so mad?"

"If I speak such a thing here, I hardly believe that the Carmilla faction would stay still... You would do well to remember that only three hundred years ago their were six factions not including the mythical Children of the Night," Naruto tapped his arm a few times before sighing, "It will come out eventually, so let me say this, if the Carmilla faction interferes in my plans, or attempts to 'help' when it is not requested. We will bathe them in the night."

Masikly narrowed her eyes on Naruto, "I can not agree to those conditions."

"I see," Naruto dropped his expression a fraction as he looked down at the coffee in his hands, "That is too ba-"

"You did not let me finish."

Naruto quirked a brow at the Queen before a faint smile played at his lips, "Very well, continue.

Masikly gave a single nod, "Lady Kaguya was a blessing from heaven, any strife the befalls her precious son, will by proxy become an issue for the entire Carmilla family, no questions asked. Should you, our prince, ask to take the matter into your own hands we would begrudgingly let you, but still offer as much outside assistance as possible."

"Oh, that is such a strange thing to say," Naruto nodded a handful of times, "Very well, if that is the stance of the Carmilla, I will just have to ask you all to not interfere unless I am in a dire state."

Krul was doing her best to stay quiet, though she had to admit that these vampires were playing right into her brother's hands. He had just gotten verbal confirmation that the Carmilla are on his side, also that they see him as their prince. Though it was true that he would become king of all vampires should he so chose to go after the throne, the Carmilla saw him as nobility even before he made such a move. Not to mention that such a thing was blatant placed out on the table right after Naruto said that there was nothing they could offer him, along with the fact that the Tepes were quite far down and were harbouring someone whom Naruto held a deep hatred for.

'His tongue be as silver as his hair', Nyx had once said that, though technically Naruto's hair was white, in the right light it did seem to take on a silver tone. Though there were still a few streaks of blonde through it for the moment. Though her current closeness was not just because having a former Queen sitting herself alongside him would be a sign of strength, just like the others, Death had scared her, the gap between their levels was huge. She had known all along that Naruto had planned to fight against the horsemen, though it was her first time meeting one. Naruto had ordered them all to retreat when he confronted Pestilence, the condition that he came back in was enough to tell them that they would have been crushed in an instant.

Thus she lightly gripped her brother's hand, he spared a glance to her before giving her hand a small squeeze for comfort, "The fall of Dracul did not go as recorded in the books."

Esturge widened his eyes for a moment before narrowing them tightly, "Those books were written by those that came back from the battle itself."

Naruto nodded at his words, "Yes, but only two people left the field where Dracul was 'killed'. One being my mother, who raised me on her own blood. In her eyes, which can't be fooled by illusions, the only other one that survived was Minato Tepes, covered in the blood of his own kin," Naruto saw the looks that came across the faces' of those that belonged to the Tepes faction, though before they could protest he held up is hand to stop them, "I never said I was finished. Blue Blooded vampires can not die. This is a fact, if we were to ever be 'killed' our body would simply reform somewhere in the world in a weakened state with partial destruction of memories."

This information was something that widened even the steely looking Masikly, "Yes, that is correct. Dracul was not killed, no instead my mother used all of her power to seal Dracul inside of her so that he would stop slaughtering the families of what he called 'Filthy stains on history'. While Kaguya used her power to do this, Minato Tepes wiped out everyone who had come with them, the 'Felious' and the 'Sincultry' Families were both destroyed that night along with an uncountable number of Carmilla servants. Dracul was sealed inside of my mother, though she could not move afterwards and could only weakly protest as Minato Tepes raped her, still covered in the blood of her handmaidens, butlers and maids."

Naruto calmly looked at Masikly, her face had become taut as steel eyes snapped towards Valerie, though before she could even think to attack a large black snake slowly appeared, its form already wrapped around her defensively. Elmenhilde was fanning her face to stop herself from passing out, "The sins of the father are not the sins of the daughter. Make a single step towards harming my sisters and I will show you the very wrath which has made the Carmilla a pillar for vampires Masikly!" Naruto stood up with his words and glared down at the Queen who recoiled before remembering who he was and quickly bowed her head. Naruto then turned to Valerie who looked like she was about to vomit, "That is why I hate Minato Tepes."

Slowly Valerie nodded in understanding, though her lips were pulled into a frown, "... What about us? His children?"

Naruto looked over to Krul who leaned onto his shoulder and blinked at him a few times, "I love each of you, as I said, his sins are not yours. Though I never really did finish what I was saying, Dracul latched onto my body the first chance he got, due to the help of the 'Night Mother' and my mother whom carefully followed the instructions that were given to her, they were able to have my body absorb almost all of Dracul turning me into the first born Blue Blood. His memories are mine, his abilities I harbour those as well, but my emotions, my mentality, that is all Naruto Carmilla, son of Kaguya Carmilla."

Masikly slowly looked up to Naruto her eyes hesitating to make direct contact as she spoke softly, "If you will still have us, the Carmilla faction will happily join in this alliance with the devils."

Naruto nodded his head, turning to face Kuroka as he flagged for her to walk forward, "This is Kuroka Carmilla, my future wife, before you ask she had no family name so she took mine to save trouble as she would not let me deny her becoming my wife, no matter how many years it took..." He trailed as he looked over at Kuroka only to see her give a small wink to him. Looking back over to Masikly he could see that she was confused as to why this should be important, "I want for you to train her to command the Carmilla faction."

Those words seemed to freeze the room, Masikly bowed her head, "I understand, it is only fitting that I be replaced after I nearly moved to attack your sibling."

"Hardly, though that is something that you shouldn't do, the reason is simple, I don't know everything that is happening inside the Carmilla faction, nor do I think I would be able to keep a constant track on everyone inside of it. So I want you, Masikly, to become my consult for the Carmilla faction when I take the throne. A go between for the council/Queen Carmilla and myself. This position of course has its privileges, which you will be informed of at a later date, though I can tell you right now, I will make it so that you can walk in the sun once again," Naruto watched her face as he said those words, the pure shock was exactly what he was going for, "Is this acceptable?"

Masikly swallowed deeply as she looked into the blue eyes of Naruto, her tongue seemed to struggle to form the words she wanted to say, "Yo... You can do that?"

"I can. Or rather I will be able to. Without the use of the Holy Grail like the Tepes faction is ripping out of Valerie," Naruto's words had once again frozen the room as Esturge and Valerie looked at him in shock, "You can stop with those looks you know, each of my familiars can move about without being detected, plus the Children of the Night has one of the best divisions devoted to gathering intelligence," Naruto pursed his lips slightly, "That is why I know that the vampire kingdom is falling apart. The pure bloods will not fight, instead they send half-breeds and humans out to wage war against the opposing faction in their stead. A fun fact, half-breeds are a more viable source for blood than humans, this would be due to the strong amount of nutrients in their blood mixed with the healing rate of a vampire. So this drastic loss of life, mixed with the fact that the territories in Romania being swallowed up by different religions and placed under their protection spells a single thing, the end of the vampire kingdom. The other races need not even bother to attack you all, you are destroying your only source of food. While feeding off other vampires gets rid of 'the thirst' it is just a sign of affection and a masking agent to true hunger. To starve without feeling the pain of it, is that how the once proud vampire kingdom will go out? With a whimper?"

A dry smile pulled across his lips, "No, it is the entire reason why you're here. If I sit upon the throne, the fighting will stop and the vampires will be forced to work together under the oath that they take when they become able to speak," A laugh like a desert came from his lips, it was so dry that it may have sucked the moisture from his lips, "It would be all to easy for me to let that kingdom rot, saving only those I see as dear. So rather than me play nice, I will be frank, Minato Tepes will be at my feet in chains, Kuroka will become the next Queen Carmilla, Mina Tepes and Valerie Tepes will be kept safe, the investigation and hunting of those that lashed out at Kaguya Carmilla and the remaining servants of the Carmilla family will be dealt with by myself with aid when asked for from the Carmilla faction, now lastly, from this moment forward, any vampire, peasant or lord, that sends his subjects to fight in his stead will be strung up in front of their home with silver cord resting upon the crux of the night until day breaks. I have had enough of the wars that are waged and ignored by the 'People's Army' because of technicality, if vampires do not fight one another, they have no issue to move. Thus I will punish the vampires who have servants fight."

Naruto looked at their reactions before giving a light smile, "That will be all for now, please do enjoy the rest of the evening," With a click of his fingers everyone bar his group vanished from the room. They would land on their behinds in the ball room, sans for Valerie who would land on her feet, he had made sure of that. Even still a tired sigh slipped from his lips as he reclined into his chair, "I just came across as a tyrant didn't I?"

Krul frowned at his words words, "For those stubborn old fools anything less wouldn't register... That kingdom may finally be able to hold its head up high again when you're done with it brother."

"For the man that we have placed our absolute trust in to start doubting himself... Are you trying to make us into fools Naruto?" Moka huffed out, she spared a glance at Naruto before letting a soft smile tug at the corner of her lips.

"Naruto-kun just needs to say what he is thinking sometimes nya~," Kuroka spoke up from behind a warm smile on her face as she leaned down and wrapped her arms around his neck, "We already know Naruto-kun's plans nya~. At least those of us that drank from him last night do nya~, along with that feeling of raw power we got from him nya~!"

Irori gave a flat state to the others in the room, "Well pardon myself for wishing to remain in a position where Naruto-sama can use my blood to the fullest, though that no longer seems to be the issue as recent tests have shown him to be a Crusnik, something nearly as rare as a Blue Blood. That along with not needing vampirisim to gain strength, or are you saying that I am currently lacking and should improve myself?"

Krul tapped her chin a few times before paling at the thought of a vampire Irori, "I.. I don't think you need to get any stronger right now Queen-sama," The fact that Naruto was a Crusnik vampire was kept within this circle. A Crusnik vampire was one that fed on other vampires, it could be staved off with the blood of others, but for Naruto, Krul and Moka would supply him with blood the best as they were of pure blood while Kuroka was still part Nekoshou.

There was a small nod from Irori who then held out her hand and made a rose from ice in the centre of it, "There are a great number of things that could try to fight against us, though if they chose to do so, they will find that the Carmilla group is a rose littered with many toxic thorns," The rose was crushed in a single movement causing blue mist to rise from her hands and head to the roof where it stripped the paint without care, watching as it was repaired a moment later by Naruto's own black mist. She placed her arms around her stomach and looked out towards the group, "Shan't we now return?"

Naruto finished off his coffee before standing and giving a small nod, Kuroka and Krul both hanging off of him, though he didn't seem to notice the added weight. He looked to his left and saw Krul's face looking at his own as she grinned, to his right Kuroka was doing the same,"Irori, archway please?" He saw her give a small nod so he clapped his hands together and made a large seal appear in the air under the archway made of ice, "There we go," With a few strong strides he moved through it appearing again in the middle of the ballroom with everyone looking in their direction with blinking eyes, "Also you two get off now right?"

He earned two giggles in reply as they dropped down from his shoulders, Moka and Irori walking out behind him before giving small nods to the others that had spread out around the room. In a blink the group was together as a while once again, it only took a few moments for Naruto to find Sirzechs among the crowd. Once the task of finding the Red Satan was done the Carmilla group made their way over to him without delay. Though as they drew closer Grayfia pulled him away and Serafall stepped forward giving a light bow to the group, "Grayfia-san has to discuss important matters with Sirzechs, if you are looking for a Maou I can help you out Naruto!"

Naruto looked around, his group that had been behind him moments ago had vanished completely, he saw Grayfia walking away with Sirzechs, the former holding up a victory sign with her fingers as she stuck her tongue out cutely at him, "Gray-chan..." He muttered out, honestly though he hadn't had any real time with Serafall since he vanished all those years ago. He would even go as far as to say that he had missed her, the cute bubbly Maou that would try her best when she thought people weren't looking to make everything run smoothly. Gone was the magical girl outfit she was so commonly seen now, now she wore an elegant purple dress with an exposed back. Serafall had made her hair a little shorter for tonight and put wide curls in it around her shoulders which let the ends fall down to sit on her cleavage.

Serafall looked around in confusion, "Huh? Wasn't your p- the Carmilla Group just with you?" Seeing the small look of irritation on Naruto's face caused Serafall to quickly correct herself. It was habit really, for hundreds of years now everyone had been calling them peerages, so for Naruto be so against it caused her to trip up every now and again.

Naruto extended his hand out to Serafall, "The music is quite nice, but mixed with the air here, it has gotten a little stale. Would you care to join me on the balcony?"

The pale skin of Serafall quickly became tinted in red, even still she hurriedly nodded in response and placed her gloved hand into Naruto's subtly touching the ring of Death, it sent a chill into her body that was colder than any ice, "I would love to, mayhap we speak in private?"

"You'll have to forgive me, but my familiars never stray far from my body unless they are on missions," He reached up and lightly touched at his shoulder with his free hand a faint crow outline came into place on his other shoulder was a large spider while around his left arm was a coiled snake.

"I see... That must be difficult at times," Serafall murmured out, she couldn't imagine having such large and spooky creatures hanging off of her at all times. She paused as a pressure applied itself to her wrist, she watched as the snake slithered along Naruto's body and up her arm, "Eh? Naruto?"

He didn't say anything though as he led her outside, once under the open sky of the Underworld he pursed his lips, "My familiars are able to hide from every type of detection. Mors is the name of that familiar, I have told her not to attack you, no quite the opposite."

Serafall frowned at his words, "Shouldn't something like this go to Rias? I mean, she is important to you..."

"I care about you Serafall, and yes while I am worried about Rias, I will be working inside of Kuoh, I will be able to help her, plus Arachna will be watching her for me. You though will be more than likely become a target in the future...Thus Mors will protect you while I can not," He gave a small smile as he reached up and stroked his familiar who had situated herself around Serafall's neck before fading away into a pocket dimension that lay next to the dimension they were inside of. So Mors was technically there, but at the same time unless you knew so, you would never be able to tell, "I would tell you to be careful, anything she attacks will more than likely perish moments after it is struck."

Naruto's last words did little to fill her with confidence, at least if she had heard them that is, her mind was still stuck on 'I care about you'. Even after her ice had tried to kill him, he still cared about her? Honestly he could be such a fool at times. Reaching up she lightly touched his chest, waiting for that precious beat that his heart gave once per minute. It finally came and a warm smile spread across her face, "Thank you, for always being so thoughtful Naruto-kun," Slowly she pulled her hand away only find it quickly wrapped up in Naruto's much larger one. It sends her insides aflutter before she quickly feels her ice try to attack Naruto. He didn't pull away like she expected him to.

No instead he dragged her in closer, wrapping her in a tight hug as he pressed his lips against her forehead, the moment he did her magic calmed, no longer the torrent that was lashing out, now it became a still lake, his gentle touch causing the water to let out a faint ripple but nothing more, "Seems like your magic has learnt that it can't win now?"

"It seems like it has," Serafall uttered out in shock. Her sister and Grayfia were able to stand the cold and were much more used to it, while the same could be said for Naruto, unlike them, her magic was calm at this time, like it was quivering away from him, "Not even the 'Strongest Queen' can make it do this. Though after hearing that you handedly defeated her in single combat, I wonder if that title should not go to you?"

"I don't think that would be fitting," Naruto mused his chin resting atop her head, "A conversation happened a long time ago, around the time you received your Evil Pieces, the first Evil Pieces that were ever created. It went something along the lines of 'Avoid using them on Vampires'. Do you know the reason for this Serafall?"

Serafall recalled the conversation, she had long given up on finding out how Naruto was able to gain this kind of information, now she just accepted it. Even still, for him to know about a conversation that had happened before he had stepped foot on the earth, it was something else. Regardless of this though, she could not remember why she was told such. Shaking her head negative she looked towards Naruto.

"Ajuka foresaw something like this, no it was even more simple, he understood something incredibly basic. Vampires do not age... no that isn't quite correct, the body of a vampire, sans a pure blooded female Tepes, only ever ages to house the power within it. Vampires that 'grow old' are those that suffer from the memory issues we get after a thousand or so years, at this point we start 'forgetting' about our strength so we lose it. Devils have something similar though very different at the same time, once devils reach a certain age their chance of waking up whenever they go to sleep starts to decrease. This is caused by their cells no longer being able to divide as well as they used to. In other words, devils have a finite life while vampires are potentially capable of infinite life... So using an Evil Piece on a vampire is basically trying to put a 'limit' on their life. Trying to limit 'infinite' is impossible."

Serafall understood his words, going so far as to wrap her arms around him in a tight embrace, "How long will you still be a devil?" That was the conclusion that anyone would come to after his words.

"The Evil Piece, the Mutated Queen, inside of me will be destroyed within a year from now. At that time, my group will have their Devil abilities assimilated into their bodies completely, including the long life for those that are still human..." His voice trailed, purely because he did not have any real clue on where to head from there. He had told this to Serafall on a whim because of the atmosphere around them, now though he didn't really know what to say.

"At that time you will take the throne..." Serafall seemed to have figured out his timing for the coming events. Her acting of a childish person often allowed those closest to her to forget exactly how strong and smart she was... Because of her magic she had to seal off her heart from the word, only able to force small bits of it out towards her sister so that it wouldn't shatter, in short, Naruto found Serafall to be a fragile person, despite how she acted. Her whit and intelligence would often allow her to avoid situations that would bring her sorrow, but on the few times that she did, he often found her shut off from the world in a dark room with nothing more than her books. He looked down and studied her face, how would things have changed if it were Serafall that had found him that day? Would he have walked down this same path? It seemed as though she felt his gaze as she looked up into his eyes, a sad smile on her face, "Well you should be going, I think their is a princess inside that may just throw a tantrum if we are out here alone for too long."

"Invidia... You mask it well Serafall, but maybe you should show a little covetousness sometimes?" Naruto took a small step away with his words.

Serafall looked down to the ground and clenched her fists, he was here in front of her, why couldn't she just say what she wanted? Was it her pride? No, that wasn't a thing as far as most were concerned. No, it was something that should not be a problem at all, even still though, despite all she knew, there was this tiny voice, no more than a whisper in the back of her mind saying 'What if he says no?'. What would she do if that were to happen? What if the relationship between them was no more than just friends? What if she had been reading his signals wrong? Taking a breath in Serafall decided that it was worth a shot, closing her eyes tightly she nearly yelled out her desire, her question, "Will you date me?!"

"O-Onee-sama?"

Serafall opened her eyes and saw Sona standing before her with a confused expression on her face, "I... Well that was-"

"Naruto went inside about five minutes ago Onee-sama... I came out here to check on you as you hadn't returned yet... Is there something that you need to tell me?" Sona pressed lightly, she new that it was better to only push a little, too hard and Serafall would clam up tight.

The older sister poked her fingers together in front of her chest as her feet shuffled awkwardly, "I... I wanted to say that to Naruto... But it looks like I took too long," Her awkward position quickly turned it a sad expression, "Maybe Naruto is right..."

Sona did not know how to respond to that. No how could she respond to that. When it came to Naruto people seemed to turn nonsensical.

Rias was clad in black negligee as she moved around her room. The ball had ended some time ago, Naruto had promised to stay with her tonight, though he had left with his group and the Maou again. It was to be expected at this point, he was always so busy, to the point that it looked like he didn't have time for anything else.

Sighing to herself she stood, rubbing at her arms as the chill seeped into her skin. Her feet glided across the smooth floor as she made her way to the window, she looked out of it and saw the gardens of Gremory far below her, a tired sigh coming to her lips, "Perhaps he got caught up in work."

"Really I'm not trying to hide my presence at all," A voice from beside her spoke, turning her head slowly she saw Naruto sitting out on the ledge, his head tilted up as he looked at the created moon in the sky, "It seems that you would need to work on your sensing capabilities again Rias."

Rias examined him closely, those noble robes of his were gone, now he was clad in a white button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up to just below his elbows and a pair of black slacks and shoes. His hair was pulled up and loosely held into a ponytail behind his head, bangs framed his face while a few unruly strands fell down over one of his eyes, "I like you better like this. Your public face is nice, but it feels much too stern. Too forced."

"Ah you picked up on that did you princess?" He let out a small chuckle as he turned to look at Rias, her hands were on her hips as she was pouting.

"Back to 'princess' am I?"

Naruto just laughed at her before drinking in her appearance, her clothing was nearly completely see through, "At least you are wearing something," He stated before looking back at the moon, "So are you going to invite me in?"

"Vampires only need to be invited into a house once, well that is the myth at least. No one is sure if that is actually the case seeing as you all just seem to play along with it," Rias mused with a small sigh.

"I was talking about to your room, you're a full blown teen now, I don't want to walk in and have you frantic thinking I might see something that I shouldn't," Naruto gave a small shrug of his shoulders as he spoke.

Rias though blinked once or twice, "Now you have me worried about that you idiot!" She fumed before spinning on her feet and quickly looking around her room in a mad dash, after a minute she came back to the window, "All clean."

"I guess you don't want me to look under the bed then?"

"Please don't!"

Naruto entered the room with a small chuckle, "You haven't changed at all Rias... Well I can't say that... But it is good to see that some things still remain. Oh while we are speaking about the old stuff, you're still a manga geek right?"

A huff escaped her lips, "There is no way, I put those things away years ago!"

Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper, "I guess you don't care about a signed sketch from Eiichiro Oda then?" He had to blink in shock as the paper in his hands had vanished before he even saw her move.

"Don't even joke about stuff like that!" Rias quickly unfolded the paper and found a sketch of Luffy and his Crew standing on the deck of the Sunny along with the signature done to look almost like graffiti on the ship's deck, "You met Oda-sama?"

"Mmhmm I asked him about things I should get a manga geek for her birthday and then brought that sketch off of him as well," Naruto closed the windows behind him and walked further into the room, "I am quite surprised that Akeno is not here with you?"

"I told her that you would be coming."

"Yes that is why I am surprised. I would have thought that she would use something like this to tease you to no end."

Rias hung her head a little, "After the whole Issei thing... Akeno has backed off a lot and is helping me try to set things right again."

"It is good to see that Akeno was able to pick up the slack left while I was gone."

Rias gave a small nod as she moved to sit on her bed, "I can never thank her enough for how she stepped up. Though I am sure I have heard her curse your name on more than one occasion when the work piles up."

Naruto gave a small shrug of his shoulders, "I never had work pile up."

"Not everyone is as proficient with a pen and paper as you are," Rias grumbled out feeling a phantom ache in her wrist from all the forms she had helped Akeno with, she had found a new form of respect for Naruto on those many, many times, Rias shifted over to give a bit more room for Naruto and patted the bed, "Come sit with me?"

Naruto moved, nearly like he was gliding along the floor as he did so. He dropped down onto her bed and Rias leaned against him without a wasted moment. A small sigh escaped her supple lips, "It sounds like you're rather tired Rias."

"You once said that niceties can be discarded should the situation require it... Why can't we do such a thing in politics?" A heavy breath left her chest causing her breasts to raise and fall with it.

"Politics is about showing a nice enough smile to distract them from the dagger you are holding. Too much and they will suspect something is up, not enough and they will be on guard. Every action should be calculated so that the pros vastly outweigh the cons," He wrapped a comforting arm around Rias and felt her body melt into his.

"You make it look pretty natural. If I didn't know you as well as I do, I might even suggest that you enjoyed yourself tonight."

Naruto gave a small smile, "The vampires are dancing about in my hands at the moment. The Children of the Night, they are loyal to me and the Night Mother. The Carmilla faction will do almost anything in their power to see that I rise to the throne with them in good graces, while the Tepes faction is on the edge of breaking... I will have to say sorry to Mina for the extra stress I am putting her under."

"Mina?" Rias questioned in confusion and a hint of envy.

"Mina is a younger sister of mine. In total I have three, Krul, Mina and Valerie. Krul was the previous Queen of Tepes but when she left Valerie quickly took her place to act under the orders of our father. Simply put, we have never met one another, but I still feel as though I should apologize for placing such a burden on my younger sibling," Naruto mused aloud.

Rias though had question marks floating above and around her head, "Valerie? As in Valerie Tepes, the childhood friend of Gasper, she is your sister?"

"The youngest of us yes."

A hand made its way to Rias' forehead, "Do you have any other siblings that I need to know about?"

"Not related by blood. Mikoto and Shikamaru shared drinks with me, so I suppose that you could call the three of us brothers... Kuroka still insists that she is either my wife or my future wife... depends on the day really. Irori tries to take care of us all and Moka is... Well she confuses me a lot but she is a good girl. Other than that things are really the same.. sort of."

Rias nodded her head a few times, sharing drinks making people brothers, kind of like what Ace, Luffy and Sabo did in One Piece, she understood that and thought that it was really cool, if only girls had something like that. Putting her thoughts away she drifted back to what had happened near the end of the ball, "Anna nearly burned three women to death for-"

"Flirting with Mikoto?" He interrupted Rias, he spared a glance to see her shocked expression, "I am right aren't I?"

"When aren't you?" She spoke in a somewhat dry tone.

"They are married. Legally and everything. Despite how she looks now, Anna is actually older than Mikoto, the details on that are up to them to tell. All I know is, no one, and I mean no one is allowed to flirt with Anna's Mikoto. I have seen a few people die from that," Naruto let out a small chuckle as he finished and Rias was struggling to tell if he was joking or not.

"Also Irori wants to punish Issei... I already said that she could, but how far should I expect her to go?"

Naruto tapped his lips a few times in thought, "Issei won't be the same when you get him back...Irori is not one that holds back."

"I noticed," Rias remarked. It was before her spar against Moka, she had witnessed Naruto's group training among themselves, Irori did not seem to hold back at all during the spar. Rias had to admit that she was impressed, from what she knew not even five years ago she was just a young girl stuck inside of a test tube. Now she could say for certain that Irori was of the upper most High-Class of Devils, if not an Ultimate. Rias sighed to herself as she looked over at Naruto, "I invited you to spend the night, I already informed the maids that you would be here so they are not to enter... So how much longer are you going to make me trip over my own words and try to strum together some semblance of a conversation?"

"How impatient of you Rias," Naruto growled sending shivers down her spine as she turned to him and wrapped her body around his, "How very impatient."

Rias ran her hands through Naruto hair as she drew their faces before one another, "The moment I saw you, this is what I wanted. I can't put it quite into words, I don't have the same talent with them as you do, I am brash, often childish, but I want my actions to mean something, especially when it comes to you... I can not change the past, nor could I ever come close to making up for what I did... So I want something else. I think being the Mistress of the Vampire King is something that is well within my abilities."

"Really now?" Naruto questioned with a bit of mirth, "And how would we make this vow?"

(Lemon warning. Skip to next bold if this would either offend you or you are a minor.)

Rias pressed her lips against his forcing his mouth to respond to her's as she undid the buttons of his shirt in haste, now though she found herself torn, to take off Naruto's shirt fully she would no doubt need to break their kiss, which was honestly something she didn't want to do. Though as those thoughts crossed her mind she felt the fabric finish completely. Opening her eyes to look she saw it was indeed gone.

In her moment of hesitation their rolls were reversed as Rias found her back on the bed with Naruto hovering over her, a small smirk playing on his lips, "Like this? Are you ready for something like this little princess?"

Taking his taunting words Rias stared at his body for a moment, when he left it was well toned, now though it seemed as if a master craftsmen had chiselled him from stone, she licked her lips as her hands reached up for his belt, a tingling sensation ran through her fingers. He was wearing treated silver for his belt buckle, that could be dangerous. No, not to him at least, to a regular vampire it would be akin to acid. To Rias though it just felt a strange sensation through her body as she quickly undid it and slid his pants down along with his underwear. Her eyes going wide at the sight in front of her, "I-it is much larger than I thought..."

"I don't do anything by halves Princess."

"How the hell is that meant to fit in me?"

"Like this," Rias quickly closed her eyes at his voice thinking he was about to shove that monster inside of her. The feeling was very different though, her negligee was gently pushed up as she found herself cradled in a warm embrace against his chest. Her lips were quickly captured by his as a warm feeling spread through her face, his fingers sliding up her inner thigh and reaching her most sacred of places.

Rias shivered under the touch of his fingers running along her slit and gently flicking her sensitive nub towards her bellybutton. Her body was more sensitive than it had ever been, she could feel every tiny crease that made up his fingerprints as they trailed along her rapidly moistening loins. Her breath hitched in Naruto's mouth as her loins tightened around the sudden intruding finger.

She looked up at Naruto with wide eyes as her body stopped responding to her, his mouth backed away a little and that same smirk as before was in place, "A reaction like this to a single finger. Has this princess never let herself delve into a session of pleasure?"

Rias couldn't respond as his finger started to wriggle and writhe around inside of her, warming up and causing her walls to spread wider and wider, "Devils are meant to carry a sin you know princess, or maybe even many. Yet you have forsaken lust," His husky voice whispered next to her ear as his warm breath made chills run down her spine. His leg had wedged itself between her own so that she couldn't close her's in a panic or out of reaction.

Rias bit her lower lip to stop a whimper from coming out as a second finger entered then a third shortly after. Rias tried her best to keep her body under control, though ultimately it felt like she had become a puppet dancing to Naruto's finger movements. Closing her eyes Rias felt his left hand slid up under her negligee and find its way to her left breast, tracing around her nipple and causing it to stiffen as her hips bucked into his right hand.

It stopped, Naruto stopped everything at once leaving Rias confused her body tingling as she felt her walls try to clamp down on nothing over and over before an explosion came form her loins, her legs feeling like they were going numb from her first ever orgasm. Her eyes moved to watch Naruto as he righted himself to sit on her bed and his right hand came up to his face and he licked her juices from them, a curious eye travelling over her form as a deep blush raced across her face, the sudden realization of what they were doing coming to the front of her mind, "Done so quickly Princess?"

Inwardly Rias was a little angry that he kept taunting her like this, she had already said that she would go through it, but she had to admit, his taunts made it so much easier to act, her pride simply wouldn't allow her to take these kinds of things without reacting. She sat up and slowly started to take off her negligee her body swaying as she did to draw eyes towards her figure. Well versed on the subject of sex she was not, though drawing attention to herself was something that she knew how to do. Stretching her arms up high into the sky she gave a light flick of her wrist, with that single flick there was no longer any clothing on the bed. She didn't even want to question how Naruto removed his pants while doing what he was to her.

"I can not stop, a Mistress must, of course, bring pleasure," With a small sway in her body she moved across on her knees to Naruto's form, a seductive smile in place that would make many a young teen instantly pitch a tent.

Before she could try anything else Naruto wrapped his arm around her waist and sat her on his lap, Rias could feel his cock against her stomach, its heat was much higher than she had expected making her further question how Naruto's body could be so warm despite being technically dead, "This is your last chance to back out Rias."

"I said I can not stop," Without any further warning Rias picked herself up and slammed Naruto's cock into her. Her eyes clenching tightly shut due to the pain as she bit down on Naruto's shoulder to stop herself from yelling out.

A groan left the lips of Naruto as she clamped down hard on him. Fighting back the urge to start thrusting into Rias he brushed her hair from her neck before sinking his fangs inside of it. He released his own toxins into her blood, it would reduce her pain by giving her the illusion of being protected from anything that would hurt her.

Rias moaned as a warm feeling surged through her body from her neck, the pain between her legs slowly faded and brought about a sense of pleasure and somewhat uncomfortable fullness. Her eyes slowly opened and she watched as Naruto pulled away from her neck, a thin trail of blood coming down from the corner of his mouth, "Foolish girl... No rather are you a masochist?" Rias blinked owlishly at his words causing Naruto to sigh, "Someone whom enjoys being in p-"

"I know what a masochist is baka! A-and I only did that so that I wouldn't hesitate!" Rias puffed her cheeks out as she moved her hips around, her eyes closing in bliss as she let out a moan, "You can move now."

Naruto gently lay Rias down on the bed, ignoring her confused glance. Slowly he pulled himself back towards her entrance, all the while feeling the ridges of her inner walls clasping tightly to him. Shifting the movements of his hips he pushed back into her, feeling her walls tighten as he pushed. Her hands reached up and grabbed onto his arms. Nails that had been groomed and pampered dug into the tough skin of Naruto.

Rias groaned as Naruto started to pick up the pace, her hands dropping from his arms to clench her bed sheets tightly. Her body, it responded to every movement of Naruto's, she could feel the liquids flowing from between her legs making him slicker and slicker able to move faster as her loins clamped down tighter and tighter to feel him even more.

"N-Naruto I don't know how much l-longer I can h-hold on!"

'Already?' He inwardly questioned, he shifted her lower half upwards a few degrees so that he would hit a different spot and increased his tempo to new heights, it was clear he was doing something right as Rias' breathing increased and he felt her reach a near painful level of tightness before her liquids started to gush out and a cute moan erupted from her supple lips. Then something he hadn't expected happened, something which caught him off guard completely.

He felt suction coming from Rias' pussy, almost like it was trying to milk him. That mixed with the feeling of her insides and the expression on her face became a little too much as he reached climax.

Naruto sat there, confusion clear on his face as he blinked at Rias in shock, "What the hell was that?"

His voice drew Rias' attention back to him as her cloudy eyes started to focus again, "Devil mutation to help with low birthrates... I am glad it happened, it will only activate if the female and male having sex share a romantic interest," She pulled away from Naruto to sit up, a popping sound was heard as his cock slid out from her, "D-did you not like it?"

"I would go with surprise over any other feeling right now," Naruto raised a hand up and pressed it against his face, "Also you know we aren't done yet right?"

"B-but we just had sex? What more is there?!"

A hearty chuckle came from Naruto as a smirk graced his face, "The night is young Princess, let me awaken your inner lust," He leaned forward and captured her lips before their bodies became entangled once more.

Naruto shifted Rias' body around and lifted her into the air, her legs quickly wrapped around his waist in a panic. He shifted his hands and grabbed her tight behind causing a small 'eep' to escape from her mouth. Then she felt him enter her again, his cock driving deep into sacred place.

Before she could even blink at the action she found her back pressed against a wall as mist faded off of Naruto's body. She wasn't given a chance to respond as Naruto starting pounding deep inside of her without relent.

Her hands fumbling around for something to grip onto as her legs continued to close tightly around Naruto in reaction to his thrusts, "N-Naruto! I can't, not much longer like this!" Responding to her words Naruto increased his tempo watching her struggle to form words as her lips seemed to give up half way through and start moving to the next one.

"Cumming!?" Rias shouted in question as her legs started to shake and go numb. Though Naruto didn't stop, having just released her body was extra sensitive, though he didn't seem to have any intention of taking that into account as he spun her around, pressing her breasts against the wall and changing his position ever so slightly that he would be thrusting down instead of up this time.

Rias' breathing hitched as his hands grabbed onto her breasts, her nipples sliding between his fingers as his masterful hands massaged both her nipples and breasts at the same time. Rias was about to speak only to stop as a warm breath tickled her ear, "Ojou-chan, I won't stop until you're screaming my name."

"N-no! Don't stop!" Rias struggled out as she felt him release of his own accord inside of her, the sudden rush of warmth inside of her caused a reaction and forced her to follow. She blinked and found herself bent over her bed with Naruto's hands on her hips and her ass up in the air, "I hope you had no intention of sleeping any time soon. Because I am just starting to warm up Princess."

Rias let out a small moan as his rhythm started once again, the sloshing and slapping sounds that were coming from her body would no doubt be embarrassing if anyone was to hear them, but right now, Naruto's attention was on her and nothing else. For that should could put up with almost anything, "I wouldn't dream of it Naruto-kun!" Rias shouted as he went extra deep stretching her out.

The cries of the heiress would be heard for many an hour yet tonight. Thankfully Grayfia had claimed this wing as 'off limits' tonight so that they wouldn't be interrupted.

(Lemon Over)

Naruto awoke to light drifting in from the nearby window. Turning away from the irritation he looked down at the young women in his arms, her hair still slightly damp from the shower they took when they decided to go to bed.

Rias had not been able to walk with her own will last night, so Naruto had carried her to the shower where she could wash off while he did the same for himself. He brushed a few strands of hair behind her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek causing her eyes to flutter open and closed like she was trying to blink away the sleep.

"Morning Princess."

"N-Naruto-kun... So it wasn't just a dream?"

"Not at all," Naruto appeared outside of the bed and stretched himself out as his pants and shirt formed around his body once again.

Rias pressed her lips together in thought, "I thought you were a virgin... But how you moved last night... Did you lie to me?"

Naruto tilted his head in confusion, "I have the memories of Dracul, so while I haven't slept with anyone, I can recall many times where he did. In short, I know what I am doing without having actually done it before. Make sense?"

Rias raised a hand to her head and let out a tired sigh, "Sometimes you vampires are so confusing."

"Just the good ones are my dear, the others normally die in The Game," Naruto gave a light shrug of his shoulders before placing the tray with Rias' breakfast in front of her, "Eat up. You devils are more human than you would care to admit."

Rias looked at the food and took the cutlery before poking around at the eggs, bacon, muffins and sausage, "You vampires say that a lot 'The Game'. What exactly is it?"

Naruto rose a brow at her before smirking and giving a small scoff, "The Game, it is what we call politics in Vampire society. Everyone that enters a public event is a player, the stakes could be anything, from small change to the lives of thousands including your own. If a peasant plays well they can become akin to a king in less then a few hours."

"It is disgusting that you exchange people's lives without any care."

"Evil Pieces..." Naruto drawled which shut her mouth in an instant,"The Game has been used since before Evil Pieces were first created. They were in fact meant to supplement the Devils and give them a version of The Game. This is how vampires took control of Europe in the past, before Dracul beat it into submission with an iron fist."

Rias frowned as she chewed her food finishing her mouthful before letting out a small sigh, "So The Game... You can obtain anything from it?"

"Those are the rules. Vampires don't do things by halves, so if you lose, more often then not you are killed for wasting the time of others," Naruto gave a small shrug, "That is why I say that only the good vampires are confusing. If you are easy to work out, you will be killed off in the game. In a way it forces vampires to use their wits, knowledge and cunning. The physical training comes from the family that they are raised by."

Rias nodded a few times, "So you have played before?"

"I am not the leader of the Children of the Night for no reason you know?" He gave a wide smirk as Rias seemed to connect the dots, "Sirzechs knows already, well he would have to of course. To go along with that, I guess you would say that it is joint leadership in a sense. The other leader can be much more nasty than I."

"You don't seem that nasty to me," Rias mused aloud.

"I can separate work from my personal life Princess, that is why I seem pleasant here."

Teaser:

It was dark and he was surrounded as countless voices moaned and groaned, gripping about what they could have accomplished in their short lives. Why was he here?

"I don't want to die Kaa-chan!"

"No, please I'm not ready!"

The voices, they were constant, without pause. He curled up, trying to drown out their voices, his arms wrapping tightly around his head and knees as he dragged them up to his chest.

Was he dead? If that was the case then he shouldn't be able to feel, these hands that reached out and tried to drag him down, he should not feel their nails digging into his skin and ripping away at him.

"Naruto you damned fool!"

His head shot up at that, the name Naruto felt familiar, was it his? How long had it been since someone had called for him? He reached out, searching for that voice.

"Don't you dare give up on me gaki!"

It was the same voice, it was close. He could feel something, something different from his darkness as a white light took over his vision.

When it cleared he found himself touching a tree, hands like a skeleton reaching out and touching it with skinny nails. He looked down and found a long black cloth draped over his body, pale skeleton like toes and feet poking out from beneath it. He turned around and saw another person clad in black. He willed his feet to move, was he always this sluggish?

Though the speed didn't seem to matter much as he caught up to the person, it was standing there, walking straight into a tree. His pale hands reached out and touched the other on the shoulder, watching as it slowly turned.

A mask was covering the face, it had a long nose and seemingly empty eyes. Despite that, the one whom figured he was Naruto felt as if they were looking at him in confusion. After a few moments the strange creature recoiled and let out a scream.

The trees around Naruto started to shake and he looked around in shock as many more of these creatures were all looking at him, their empty eyes drilling into his body.

"EaT thEM!"

Naruto reached up and grabbed at his head, though he didn't touch flesh like he had expected, no, it was like he was wearing a mask as well. A strange feeling welled up in his body and his mouth, or mask stretched open wide, long trails of drool stretching between the upper and lower jaw. He leaned forward and found his jaws snapping shut on the creature he was holding. The feeling in his body seemed to subside for a moment before flaring up again. He wasted no time as he continued to eat the creature based off what his instincts were telling him, this is what he had to do.

The others that were watching him started to wail and shake the trees as they rushed towards him.

"FEED US!"

"Protect us."

"Don't you dare die on me Naruto."

Naruto looked towards the coming creatures and stretched his mouth out wide, "Roar! Let them hear our pain!" An orange orb appeared in front of his mouth before a large crackle and fizzle was heard and it expanded outward at an incredible pace. Destroying the trees that got in its way before a waterfall of sand started to fall down from what he thought was the sky, the roof having been pulled down due to the destruction of the trees? Naruto was not sure though he looked up and saw a moon looking down at him, calling to him.

Lowering his head a little he looked at the strange creatures that staggered around, many of them missing limbs or parts of their torsos while a few had even had their heads destroyed from his giant laser.

Naruto took a step forward, the fox mask on his large cloaked body stretching into a feral smile, "I'm hungry, I need more, this feeling needs to go~!" He spoke in a sluggish tone, it seemed like this body could not quite keep up with his thoughts.

'Is this my life now?' He wondered, to find a way to reach the moon that was so high above the ground he was on, 'It feels so hollow.'

PA: There you all go, so I hope you enjoyed all the goodies and extras inside of this story. Also, don't murder me for the sneak peak okay?
