Last time, Naruto and Rias were informed about how Naruto was now going to duel Riser Phenex, the fourth son of the Phenex family. Once finding out, both Naruto and Rias, along with her peerage, left to train for the duel where Rias would either be marrying Naruto or Riser.

Right now, standing in an open field was a young man with spiky blond hair. He was wearing clothing that were centuries old knight/armor uniform while holding his sword in his right hand. The sword is a broadsword with a blue handle as the top half has gold design between the handle and steel.

Standing next to him where two individuals, one had crimson shoulder length hair and the other had short dark hair, wearing similar battle armor. Standing behind them were small platoons of individuals are preparing themselves.

Across the other side of the area stood another group where they were coming closer to them. As their advisory came closer, the spiky blond kept his eyes on them as he spoke to the two behind them.

"Are you two guys ready?" he asked

"Yeah… although I'm more worried about them since they are going to perform several surprise attacks on their probable reinforcements and commando units." Said the raven hair male

"You shouldn't worry yourself about that. We were able to get a lot stronger under our master's guidance. They'll make it for sure." Said the crimson hair male

"As much as I want to agree with you, even I can't help but be worried about those two since they may face the descendants of both Leviathan and Asmodeus, who are both dangerous in their own right." Said the blond

The crimson hair man grew a little worried but then heard the blond say, "Even though I can't completely agree with you about that, we should still place our faith in them in coming out if it alright." Where the two smiled

"Now… let's put those worries in the back of our minds. We need to worry about what's in front of us, especially since our opponent leading the group is the descendant of Beelzebub. We also need to worry about that grey hair woman." He said although he had mix feelings about her which he couldn't understand why.

Sensing his confusion, the raven hair warrior asked the blond something that has been bothering him for a while.

"Master…" getting the blonde's attention, "… why haven't you killed her yet. We all know that she's dangerous. So why haven't you killed her yet? From the several encounters that you've fought her, you could have easily killed her and end it right there... yet... you've never made the killing blow. So why is it?"

Being silent for a bit, the blond simply responded, "That's a question that I can't seem to answer myself. But in any case, we need to get going go..." where several large clouds of mushrooms were made along with the sounds of explosions coming from the south of their position and southwest, "… since the fighting seems to have started considering the explosions that just happened." Where everyone began to charge.

The blond raised his sword where the broadsword suddenly glow in gold, blue lighting before it transformed into a different sword, a sword with sapphire/azure color design blade with a straight curve edges, 2 gold diamond design in the center and near the tip. The handle was a silver design with gold bands.

"Charge!" the blonde shout out where everyone that stood with him charged at their foes.

Rapidly open his eyes, Naruto suddenly raised himself up from bed while taking a deep breath. Taking a moment to calm himself he looked around to see that it was still dark. After his mind calmed down, Naruto realized that he was in his room with Rias sleeping soundly next to him in the Gremory Mansion.

Finally calming down, he looked at the clock to see that it was 3 in the morning.

"Just 3 hours before I have to resume training. I better get whatever rest I can." Muttered to himself

He laid back down where he was ready to have some sleep. As he was about to sleep, he felt Rias arms go around him as she snuggled closer to him. Feeling Rias' arms made him relax he gently fell asleep. But before he slept, he remembered the dream.

"Why did I have that dream? For some reason, I felt like I… I was actually there?"

Morning

It's been 7 days since the O.R.C. and Naruto's training trip has started. Every member of Rias' peerage has grown stronger but today was the day that they're going to find out on how strong Naruto's training has accomplish.

Today, everyone is going to test Naruto out since Naruto suggested to Rias that the best way to prepare for his duel with Riser would be to fight everyone at the same time where Naruto had to defeat them.

Rias, of course, was against the idea but Naruto told her that he needed Spartan training where he needed to know what he needed to work on. After some convincing, Rias agreed where Naruto stood near the trees. In front of him, stood his all of his opponents, Issei, Kiba, Koneko, Akeno, and Rias.

Rias stepped forward as to gain everyone's attention. "Alright… this is going to be a spar with all five of us against Naruto-kun. Every afternoon, for the rest of the week, we'll all spar against Naruto-kun at the same time. Even though I'm personally against this, we need to push Naruto-kun to his limits so he can be ready to face Riser…" Rias stated before she looked at Naruto, "… Naruto-kun, are you sure you're okay with this?" asking her lover

"Bring it on. Just make sure that you attack with the intent to kill since he's going to do the same." Naruto answered as he summoned his sword out.

Nodding at his request, Rias told everyone that this match began where Akeno and Rias fired their magic at Naruto.

As the tranquil sounds of the wilderness continued to sound, a single person was walking around the small campground made off 5 tents. Looking around, the spiky blond person stood in the middle. He took a deep breath before he let his voice out.

"Alright you idiots! Time to wake up! You guys have rested for 6 hours now. Time to train!" he shouted

The response he got was a couple of blasts that came directly at his chest, head, and such.

"Come on, we're exhausted. We trained for nearly 18 hours with you." Said one person

"Yeah… this magic girl needs her sleep." Said a childlike voice woman

"Relax master. From what we did in the last battle, the Satan faction well be quiet for a while." Said another

"…."

"…."

"…"

Grumbling, the young mid-twenty old spiky blond male looked annoyed as his left eyebrow twitched. Taking a moment to calm himself as he heard the sounds of soft snoring, he suddenly got an evil smirk.

"Alright… if you want to sleep… you can sleep…" he said before he softly left the camp

Hearing that, everyone sigh in satisfaction at being allowed to sleep more. But of course, their pleasant trip to dream world has suddenly ended when they smelled some very bad breath and low growl. Everyone woke up as they wondered on what it was where they got out of their tent.

Drowsy from being woken up, the four look out where they were looking at something with a bunch of teeth. Before they could even realized, the mouth that the teeth belong to just open their mouth letting out a roar. It was then that they suddenly woke up just in time for everyone to jump out of their tents, screaming, where they revealed their sleeping forms.

The guys were wearing just pants while the only girl was wearing an old shirt that went down all the way to her knees. They looked up to see two three-headed dogs standing in front of them with a look of hunger.

Before they can question on how these two Cerberus got past their barrier, they all heard a voice above the tree line.

"If you guys want to continue to sleep, then please go right ahead. Of course, if you fall asleep you'll be chew toys!" the blond said as the two demonic dogs just came at them. They tried to fly but was suddenly hit from above that force them to stay on the ground.

"Whose says you're allowed to fly?!" The blond said with a crazy look where all four just suddenly screamed in fear.

30 minutes later, the blond has chase the two beast away after he let the creatures have their chance to eat the four young people. Once they were gone, he turned to the four people who had scratches, cuts, bruises, and such all over them.

"Now then… are you guys ready to get up from bed. Or, do you still want to go to sleep. Note next time, I'm going to find an even more dangerous type of creatures." The blond said with a smile with an evil glare.

The four trembled in fear where they shook their head, "No… were wide awake!" in union that four responded

"Good. Now let's continue your lesson. After all, I can't babysit you forever now, right?" the blonde said

In the moment, a sudden gasp of air was took in as Naruto just woke up again as he had another weird dream. As he tried to get a grip about it, he wondered on why he had these type of dreams.

It's been 3 days since Naruto had started to do a battle royal against Rias and the rest of the O.R.C members. During that time, he has been experiencing things that he knew he didn't know yet he knew.

Such as his magic training, Naruto flipped himself upside down using one arm to keep himself balance where he then concentrated his magic into his hand before he manage to balance himself with just a finger. Doing this, Naruto trained both his mind and his magical ability where he focus on maintaining a fix amount of his power so he doesn't waste it.

Rias and Akeno, who were his teachers in the magical arts, were surprise to see how Naruto was able to slowly increase his magic output and control over it in one stance. Because of this, they both question Naruto on how he was able to figure out such a thing which he answered that he doesn't know. This little training also helped for Asia since she would be able to increase her magical abilities as well, but only if she can stand upside down.

It wasn't just the basic increase in magic but also the fighting style and other things he has been doing. His swordsmanship practice with Kiba has also been rewarding for the two, mostly Kiba. Naruto and Kiba had fought with real sword where Kiba had summoned several types which Naruto had easily parried or destroyed with his sword without wasting any effort.

The same with Koneko and Issei, where he given the two hints on how to increase their own abilities.

Naturally, Rias had asked Naruto on how he knew or did this type of magical training. Naruto, of course, responded that he didn't know and just went with his gut. It was even more convincing since Naruto had a look of confusion since he never heard or did anything magic before he met with Rias.

Of course, what he didn't tell Rias is the fact he got this ideas from weird dreams he kept having lately.

For the past couple of nights, Naruto had several more dreams where he saw the spiky blonde hair person but either outside the body or in the P.O.V. way where he was seeing the person up close.

One dream have him as a child, from his P.O.V., where he looked up to see several priests in front of him, instructing him on how a light sword works and how to use simple light magic in a ritual against a monster.

Another where he was now watching from his own view point, seeing the young spiky hair blond in his late teens face against a Fallen Angel with five pairs of black wings. The Fallen Angel looked like a young man with black hair with pointy ears.

The two fought against each other where they were even as the spiky blond used his diamond sword to fight against the person. The stalemate ended when the young blond suddenly unleash a powerful blast of energy from the sword that covered it and him where he transformed into a body armor where it was shadowed, not being able to see it.

The battle ended when the transformed blond instantly came in front of the unguarded fallen, he slash the fallens' chest open before sending him into the ground.

Finally, the most passionate/sexual dream was when, in his P.O.V., was in a forest area waterfall. The area was beautiful as the sun was high-up in the sky. Underneath the waterfall, he was underneath it as the water continued to pour down on him. The reason he was underneath the cooling water was because of who was in front, or to be more precise on who was lovingly embracing him.

Their arms around his body with his around theirs. In front of him was a young attractive blonde woman, who had a voluptuous body, in the nude and was tenderly kissing his exposed chiseled chest where their arms moved away from each other before they linked their hands as one.

Embracing each other, he looked down to see the young woman, whose face was hidden by her loose, wet bangs. She came in close where they kissed passionately where the two started to make love with each other given how the woman moaned in ecstasy.

Of course, the instant he woke up he hastily went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.

Underworld

Today was the day for the duel where in the underworld, things were pretty busy especially for both the Gremory and Phenex families.

In the Phenex family, the banquet room was active with servants and waiters/butlers as they prepare the room for the event that will have many people talking about; the wedding of Riser Phenex and Rias Gremory.

That's what was written in the invitation that the Phenex family has written down which the Gremory sign in approval. In fact, many who heard about what was happening thought that the match between Riser and Naruto would be just a side show, even though it was for the hand and marriage for Rias Gremory. Many believe that Riser Phenex is going to win and marry Rias Gremory after the match.

Waiting in a private room, Rias was sitting in front of a large mirror w/dresser. Coming back from training, Rias, Naruto and the rest of her peerage were guided by Grayfia to the Gremory castle, shortly, before coming to the Phenex castle.

Once arriving to the Phenex estate, Naruto, Rias, and the others were separated from each other where they've been put in separate rooms. One room was for Naruto to stay ready while Rias had another to get ready in herself.

Rias was now wearing a beautiful white gown wedding dress which her family had wanted her to wear since the winner will be marrying her. Finishing in wearing the dress, Rias spent the rest of her time just observing her reflection.

Seeing herself like this, she can't help but mentally applaud her parents in getting her this dress since it hugged her perfect to reveal her buxom figure. While looking at her reflection, her imagination grew as she imagined that standing next to her sitting form was Naruto with a hand on her shoulder.

Imagining the scenario, her mind took her to another turn on how this happened as well as placing Naruto into this burden. Knowing that Naruto is, forcefully, going to fight for her freedom, she can't help but feel depress as a few tears dripped down her face.

Continuing with her thoughts, her mind turned to Naruto, the person where she held the strongest feelings she ever had.

"Naruto… Please… come back to me…" she thought

Midnight

The moon was high as the attention in the Phenex castle was high with important and other high-class Lord and Ladies along/or heir/heiress were waiting for the match to begin.

As everyone continued to talk, the rest of the O.R.C. were together as they looked worried in thought since today was the day that Naruto was going to fight Riser Phenex for Rias' hand in marriage.

"Look at all these people. They're all here to see this Rating Game?" Issei thought as he looked at all the guest around them.

"Actually, they're here to see the wedding." Kiba responded

Issei and Asia looked confused where Akeno explained to them that on the duel invitations, it said that they are invited to Rias and Riser wedding. Seeing the confusion, Akeno said that both the families don't expect Naruto to defeat Riser, so after the match, both Riser and Rias would immediately get married.

Issei looked pissed since many didn't take Naruto seriously while Asia was worried about all this. As this was going on, they suddenly heard the sounds of music and such in the background.

Everyone turned to see both, Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex walking up to the stands where they greeted everyone and thanked them for attending the party. Once they gave their speeches the two announce the commencement of the Rating Game between Lord Phenex's son, Riser Phenex, and Rias' unknown piece, Naruto Namikaze.

Lord Gremory called forth his daughter, Rias Gremory. A crimson magical circle appeared next to Lord Gremory where Rias appeared before everyone wearing the wedding gown that she was given. Once Rias appeared, the lords turned their attention to the side entrance. Lord Gremory got everyone's attention as he announced Naruto's introduction.

Hearing his name, he moved forward as the double doors in front of him opened. Walking in, Naruto was wearing what he had asked for as a dueling uniform. Naruto was wearing an orange sleeveless shirt, a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans and steel toe shoes with fingerless gloves.

As he was walking towards both Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex, at the center stage, he dramatically reached for the collar of his jacket and took it off impressively where he then placed it on his shoulders where he was now wearing his jacket like a cape, revealing his well-toned arms.

Reaching near the center of the stage, he looked at the other entrance where his opponent would be coming in. As he waited, many of the lords and ladies gazed upon him where they wondered on what he can do or if he'll even give a good match.

After a moment, Lord Phenex pointed towards the main entrance where he introduced his son, Riser Phenex.

The double doors opened where the people divided from each other to give the Phenex member a path to the center. Once the door opened, 14 women walked forward in 2 lines of 7.

Naruto didn't pay any attention to them as he was more focus on seeing who his opponent is. Once the two lines of women came near the center stage, two more people came into view.

The first was a tall, young man in his early 20's with short blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He was wearing a white suit, which Naruto guess was his wedding suit where it revealed a good portion of his chest.

The second person, who was escorting him by his arms, was a young girl with long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Her hair is tied in twin ponytails with large, drill-like curls, and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose.

The young girl was wearing purple dress that went down to her knees, along with matching elbow length gloves, black boots and holding a pink folding fan.

Naruto saw the two and could see the similarities where he guessed that these two must be brother and sister or somewhere along those lines. Both his eyes and mind were more focus on the blonde male where he can see the cold murderous gaze he had that the man was Riser Phenex.

Naruto could see the similarities that they both had. They both had blonde hair, blue eyes, and had a pretty good face. Although, there were differences, such as Riser's blonde hair was slightly more light color and a bit shaggy, while his was darker, a gold color and his hair was more gravity defying since his hair was spikier. Naruto face, although manlier had a closer appearance to a pretty boy like Kiba while Riser looked like a bad boy. But the thing that Naruto could tell from seeing Riser, is that he had an air of arrogance around him that screamed that he was superior to him, and people like him.

Nearing the stage, the young girl unlock her arms where she stayed back as Riser walked up the center stage.

Once he was there, he just narrowed his eyes where Naruto didn't felt nervous. In fact, internally, Naruto thought to himself on how strange it is for him on how not nervous he is. Facing each other, Naruto and Riser just sized up each other. Rias walked up where she was now standing by Naruto's side. The silence ended when Riser spoke to him.

"Hmph… so you're the one that took away what's supposed to be mine to take. I'll assure you that you will regret your action as I plan to make you an example on what happens to those who steal from the Phenex." Riser growled at him

"Take what is yours? Please, if you're talking about Rias' heart then let me tell you that you've never had a chance to earn it. Given on what I can see from you, you're nothing more than incompetent rich boy." Naruto talked back with an insult

"For that insult, you're not going to leave the rating game alive." Riser stated as he then unleashed his demonic wings which were fire wings given his pyro kinesis.

Seeing Riser wings spread out, many assumed that Naruto would back down. Rias was beginning to worry since Riser's power was growing. She, along with the other devils, glanced back at Naruto where he had a look that was surprising to many of them.

Naruto had an unimpressive look as he sees Riser showing off, "… So, am I that much of threat to you...?" Riser looked confused at what he just heard about him, "…Since your showing off your powers like this, it just shows me on how pathetic you are. After all, they say only show offs and weaklings only act intimidating to hide their fears against a stronger fighter." Naruto simply stated

Riser growled at Naruto's since he was humiliating him in front of so many High-class Devils, whom some of now finding Naruto's insult amusing in a way. Seeing Naruto being so smug against him while still keeping a calm look on his face, Riser couldn't wait to fight against other blond.

Their confrontation ended when both Lords decided to begin the Rating Game. A portal opened up as the dimension to the battlefield was ready. Looking at it for a brief moment, Naruto turned his attention back to Riser.

Smirking sinisterly at his obvious victory, Riser looked at Rias. "Just wait for me a bit longer my love. Once I get rid of this disgrace, I will show you what true pleasure is all about on our wedding night." Riser commented

Rias narrowed her eyes at Riser but stopped when she heard Naruto speak up to him, "I doubt it. Since, if you need 15 women to make you feel like a man, then I doubt you can satisfy one woman, especially the one that dislikes you." Where he smirked at Riser's furious look on his face.

Riser stepped through the portal where he was teleported to the battlefield. Seeing Riser was gone, Naruto turned to Rias.

"Just wait for me… once this is over, we'll go back to Kuoh… Ok…?" smiling at her

Rias smiled at Naruto's gesture where she was going to be hoping throughout the entire match since this was going to be the match that will decide everything for her.

Once he was done, Naruto calmly walked through the portal where it was then sealed up once he crossed it. When the portal close, the visual screen appeared above them so that everyone can see the match.

Unknown to everyone, the four Satans were watching in a different room with Grayfia by Sirzechs side. The reason why is because of what Sirzechs told them about Naruto where all of them were watching his image. Although it was slightly different from what they've remembered, they can't help reminisce on a particular person, especially Grayfia as she has seen the youthful face before.

"Now, let the match begin." Lord Gremory stated

Till Next Ch.
