Hello everyone!

Welcome back!

First, before we get any further, I want to address something right now to everyone who's been saying that I need to change my stories from either the character or the crossover that I put it under or that my story/stories are trash. I write because it is something that I love to do and I enjoy writing and I do it in my free time. If you have an issue with what I write, how I write it, or if you don't like my story/stories altogether, then don't read them. Many people have said it before, and I am saying it now, if you don't like what I am writing, then don't read it.

Anyways, moving on from that little rant, I wanted to thank everyone else who left such amazing reviews. You guys are the reason I keep writing because to see you guys enjoying my stories makes me feel amazing.

Anyways, the poll about me adding some women from the Naruto world has been in for a while and I will be adding some women. Not a lot will be added either, seven or eight at the most. I already have some chosen for who will be coming to the HotD world.

Also, the current harem will be at the bottom of the chapter so you can see who is in the harem.

Next, to those asking about post-war Naruto being weak, I said it in the first chapter but I will say it again. After he had become a half-devil, his chakra levels shot through the roof, but this had the effect of completely screwing up his chakra control. So for a while, he will have to train to get his control back up to what it was before he became a half-devil. Now trust me, I know it sucked to see him get tired after fighting Cavalier Angelo but this is only because his body was still adjusting to all the changes. Remember, he just went through a massive change, physically and biologically, and so his chakra needed time to readjust itself. However, the fight with Cavalier Angelo is what he needed to fix that right up so I'll be able to have him start training some during this chapter.

Finally, this chapter gets a little dark at one point with it involving some deeper cursing, near-rape, and slight degrading of women. So if you are not good with that kind of stuff, be sure to skip to that part until you see another bold heading.

Anyways, I don't think I have anything else to address so with that, let's get on with the story!

"In the dark, I can feel you in my sleep." Normal Speech

"In your arms, I feel you breathe into me." Past Speech

"Forever hold this heart that I will give to you." Demon/Devil Trigger Speech

'Forever I will live for you.' Normal Thoughts

'I'm awake, I'm alive.' Demon/Devil Trigger Thoughts

Chapter 2: The Devil's Protection

It had been a few hours since he and everyone else had left the school in either his van or the bus. It had been fine at first since he would talk with Trish about her time with Dante or with Kyoko, Misuzu, and Toshimi about how they were handling this whole situation. It was a given that the three of them were still pretty shaken up considering they probably weren't expecting a zombie apocalypse when they woke up today. The three of them were very glad that he would talk to them and help them deal with the sudden and very drastic change to their normal lives.

It also helped that he was calm and patient since they had each started to mumble in denial since they had refused to acknowledge all of the changes. However, instead of getting mad and yelling or shouting at them, he had simply either held them close in the cases of Toshimi and Misuzu or had gently rubbed their shoulders in the case of Kyoko. This had greatly helped them calm down and they were finally able to accept that the world had changed but what they refused to accept was that the world would stay like this forever. When they told him this, he had simply smiled like he knew something before he would reassure them that the world wouldn't stay like this forever.

After that, he would take time to talk with Saya over the radio to see how she was doing. Of course, the others on the bus would ask him questions about himself as well. Like Saeko asked about his sword, who he received it from, and who gave him his training. Or Kohta would ask him about his guns and how he could fire so many bullets without needing to reload. He didn't mind the questions and would either answer them with as much of the truth as he could without divulging too much information or he would politely say that he can't answer the question.

Of course, then there were the questions Shido and his pack of cultists would ask; where did he acquire his abilities? How did Trish, or as they referred her as the "leather-clad blonde," acquire her abilities? Where did the two of them get their guns and where did he get his sword? He would keep asking extremely personal questions despite Naruto refusing to answer. Honestly, it made Naruto want to take another shot at Shido but he didn't since he didn't want to look like a person who shot at anything that annoyed him. Besides, what good would it do him to waste more demonic energy on someone as pointless as Shido?

Right now, it was getting late and Naruto knew that it wouldn't be good for Shizuka to keep driving through the night. Naruto knew that Trish and himself could very well handle driving all night, but he didn't want everyone to sleep in the van or on the bus where they would be uncomfortable. Especially those on the bus since Shido and his followers were on the other bus with Saya and the others.

Pulling up the radio, Naruto asked, "Hey Saya, how's everyone doing over there?"

"Everything's fine, but we're all feeling pretty tired," Saya said from the bus.

"Yeah, I figured," Naruto replied with a slight chuckle. He then continued, "After what you've all been through today, I would be surprised if you weren't tired."

"Hmph, laugh it up all you want, but what are we going to do?" Saya asked, "We can't very well sleep on the bus, for multiple reasons."

"Yeah, I know. Have everyone look around for a place where we could all stay for the night before we continue moving tomorrow."

"Alright, we'll let you know if we see anything," Saya replied before the line went silent again.

With that, everyone began to look around for a place where all of them could rest for the night before they continued moving in the morning. Naruto knew that he and Trish would easily be able to stay up all night long, but he also knew that Shizuka would need her rest, along with the others. However, Naruto did not want them sleeping in a moving vehicle, especially when Shido and his group of followers were there with them.

Not only did Naruto not like Shido and his cult, since that is what they are, but he especially didn't trust them. Shido just gave off this disturbing aura or feeling that whenever Naruto was near or looked at him, he felt this urge to pull out Rebellion and cut off Shido's head.

Which was strange to Naruto since he only felt like this when fighting a demon or when a demon was near.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto thought to himself, 'I'm gonna have to keep an eye on him because no human should give off such a disturbing aura. Not even the Jinchuriki back home gave off such an aura.'

He must have zoned out for longer than he thought as his shoulder was being lightly shaken. Shaking his head a bit, Naruto turned and saw Trish was the one shaking him. Giving Trish his attention, he said, "Sorry, I was lost in thought, what'd you say?"

"I asked, are you okay?" Trish asked as she had noticed Naruto was in deep thought and had looked tense.

"Yeah," Naruto said, "Just thinking about something that doesn't make sense."

Trish was confused at this, since if Naruto was at least similar to Dante, then he wouldn't think over something very deeply if he didn't need to. Especially if it didn't make any sense.

"What do you mean?" Trish asked, as if he was thinking this deeply about something that doesn't make sense, then it must be something to look out for.

"Well, I'm not sure if you ever get this feeling," Naruto started, "But whenever I fight and hunt bad or evil demons, I always have this feeling of wanting to kill them. Like it's ingrained or programmed into my brain and my very soul to hunt and kill them due to the feeling of evil and malice they give off."

Trish nodded as she said, "Well, I do know what you're talking about, not from experience since I'm a full-blooded demon, but from Dante sometimes telling me the same thing whenever I would ask him how he knew I was different from other demons."

"Well," Naruto began as he furrowed his brow a bit, "I've been getting that feeling lately," He then looked her in the eye and said, "Around Shido."

Trish looked at Naruto in surprise as she said, "Really? But he's a human, a despicable piece of human filth, but a human nonetheless."

"I know," Naruto said while running his hand through his hair in an exasperated manner, "But that's why I'm so confused and have been thinking about it so intensely. I know it doesn't make sense, but I can't shake that feeling because of how deeply it's been ingrained into me."

Naruto rested his chin in his palm while he looked out the window of his van as he said, "If it wasn't for my chakra control getting shot when I first changed into what I am now, I wouldn't be having this issue since I would be able to sense negative emotions. However, since I was changed to a genetic level from all the demonic energy that flooded my body when I was pierced by Dante's sword, my chakra control was shot to hell and I lost all of my abilities, including my passive abilities."

"Well," Trish began, not surprised by Naruto's words as he had told her about himself and his previous world, "Why haven't you tried training to get your control back?"

"Because I wasn't able to before," Naruto replied, getting a confused look from Trish.

"Why not?"

"When I said that my body was flooded with demonic energy, I meant it was flooded with the stuff," Naruto said before lifting his left hand and summoning his demonic energy with came in the form of wild red energy, "I was filled with enough demonic energy to match the amount of chakra I had when at my peak which was a lot. However, because of this, my chakra and demonic energy were always clashing with each other, so I couldn't train with them or even use them. But my fight with the demon that was using you as a host seems to have balanced my demonic energy and my chakra," Naruto then lifted his head off his right hand and summoned chakra which was causing his hand to shine blue.

"So~," Trish began, "What does that mean?"

Naruto clenched his fists and smirked at Trish while saying, "It means that I can finally get my strength and abilities back!"

"Hey, Naruto."

The two were prevented from continuing their conversation when they heard Saya's voice from the radio. Picking up the mic, Naruto asked, "I'm here Saya-chan, what's up?"

"I think we've found a building where we can stay the night," Saya replied.

"Alright," Naruto said, "Have Ms. Shizuka drive to the building while we follow behind you guys."

"Alright, sounds good, see you in a few minutes," Saya replied.

The drive took a couple of minutes to get to the building, during which, Saya kept Naruto informed about Shido and his followers. Naruto had told Saya a bit about his job and the feeling he gets when fighting or hunting. She was a little worried when he explained how when he hunts bad guys since he couldn't very well tell her that he hunts demons, but she understood that it was because of his feeling that made him the perfect person to hunt and fight them. So when Naruto told Saya about how he gets those same feelings around Shido, this caused some alarm and suspicion to rise in Saya, but she didn't do anything and simply kept tabs on them.

While she would have normally confronted Shido and his group, she trusted Naruto and if he said to stay away from something, it was always for a reason. Especially since her mother had explained when Naruto saved her from nearly being kidnapped when he warned her of a feeling he held about some seemingly innocent people. It had confused Saya so much that her mother completely trusted Naruto despite him seemingly arriving out of nowhere. However, when he had protected her the one time she let her mouth and temper get the better of her, she finally understood why her mother trusted Naruto.

It was because they were precious to him, and he always protected those precious to him.

Saya shook her head as she exited the bus with everyone else, before watching Naruto come out of his van with the ones in his van. He looked throughout the area with slightly narrowed eyes and his sword in hand. She had to admit, he was indeed very handsome, especially when he had his shirt off.

Saya's eyes widened as she became incredibly red in the face, shaking her head, Saya thought to herself, 'NO! No, no, no! Stop that Saya! He's simply a friend, you shouldn't be having such thoughts about your friend. No matter how handsome and strong he is~.'

Saya immediately blushed brightly again and shook her head, unaware of the person coming up behind her. She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Naruto looking at her with a concerned expression while was holding his sword over his shoulder.

"Hey Saya, you okay?" Naruto asked, worried for his friend as he had noticed she seemed to have stayed in the back while seeming to be in thought about something.

"I'm fine, completely fine!" Saya hastily exclaimed as she moved past him and began to head inside, causing Naruto to frown as he looked at her back.

"Did I do something to upset you?" Naruto asked, getting Saya to freeze mid-stride.

Turning around, Saya saw the sad look on his face and flinched as she thought, 'That kind of look doesn't belong on your face.'

Saya sighed as she walked back as she looked up at him since he was over a foot taller than her, with her standing at five-foot-one and Naruto standing at six-foot-three. Looking up at him, Saya says, "It's not you, Naruto. I'm just stressed about this whole situation. I mean, this morning, I woke up thinking we were gonna go to school, then we'd go get ice cream before going home. I never expected all of this to happen," Saya then looked down as she began shaking and her voice got shaky, "A-And what about my mother, what if she didn't make it!? And if she did, imagine how worried and scared she must be for us?! I just, sigh, I just want this all to be a really crazy, vivid dream and then I wake up and meet you at school."

Saya wasn't lying, while she wasn't being completely honest with Naruto, these were her true thought and feelings. She was scared and worried about everything that's going on and for her mother's safety. Normally, Saya would never let anyone see her in a moment of weakness like this and would have simply made something up to keep them at arm's length. However, Naruto always had this innate ability to know when she, her mother, or anyone else lied, so she had decided to tell him one truth while hiding the other.

(A.N. Now, before anyone decides to say that this is Naruto's ability to detect negative emotions, let me remind you, he lost that ability when his body was flooded with the demonic energy. This caused his chakra and demonic energy to clash and go out of control to the point of him being unable to use them. So that meant, no Trickster, no Shadow Clones, no Rasengan, and no detecting negative emotions. What this part meant is that he got so used to detecting when someone lies, that he inherently can tell when someone lies, even without detecting the lie. Similar to how he knows when someone is wearing a fake smile due to his experience in wearing fake smiles from his childhood.)

Naruto frowned as he knew that Saya was telling a truth, but it wasn't the truth to his question. At least, not the entire truth, however he wasn't going to push her. He knew very well that she wouldn't tell him if she didn't want to. So for now, he wouldn't push her as he didn't want to hurt their friendship and would accept her answer since he understood that she was scared and worried, just like everyone else.

"Hey," Naruto said while lifting Saya's head by her chin, "Everything is going to be alright. I won't let anything happen to you."

Saya looked at Naruto and saw the determination and assurance in his eyes and she couldn't help but feel that he really would keep her safe. Saya smiled at him before she hugged him and said, "Thank you, Naruto-kun. I know you'll keep me and the others safe because there is no one more qualified to make sure this nightmare ends."

Naruto smiled as he returned Saya's hug with his free arm, where they stayed for longer than normal friends would before they broke the hug and Naruto motioned towards the building and said, "Come on, let's get inside so that we can get everyone situated in rooms. We still need to see how many rooms are available, aren't covered in blood, which doesn't have zombies inside them, and if anyone wants a room to themselves."

Saya nodded before she moved ahead of him so that she can catch up to everyone so she could get first dibs on a room next to Naruto… What? Just because she didn't want to admit her feelings didn't mean she didn't know what they were. She just wasn't ready to act on them yet, but with the world being how it is, maybe she'll admit her feelings during this crazy time.


~Time Skip~

It was currently the middle of the night and everyone was asleep in their rooms. Shido and his group were sent to the opposite end of the hall from the rest of the group due to no one wanting to associate with them and their cultist mindset. Kouta and Takashi were sharing a room on the right side of Naruto's room while Saya chose the room to the left of his room. Shizuka and Kyoko decided to sleep in the same room since they wanted to give the other girls their own room. Saeko and Rei shared a room, while Taniuchi, Kawamoto, Misuzu, and Toshimi shared another. The girls had all decided to spend the night down the hall, separated from the guys, while also convincing Trish to sleep on their side as well. Naruto guessed it was for the little bit of normalcy that they could still scrounge up in this crazy world. However, the only one not participating was Yuuki, who had decided she wanted her own room in the middle of the hall.

Naruto had decided to talk to Yuuki to see if she was okay and why she didn't want a room closer to the other girls. After all, Naruto wasn't going to let one of his friends separate themselves and become a loner if he could help it.


~Flashback~

The girls had just finished picking their rooms and were all heading inside so that they can get some sleep. However, Yuuki was stopped from entering her room when she felt someone tapping on her shoulder. Yuuki tensed for a second before turning around, only to sigh in relief when she saw Naruto standing there with his sword on his back.

Smiling at him, Yuuki said, "Hey there, Naruto-kun. What's up?"

Returning the smile with his usual grin, Naruto said, "Hey Yuuki-chan, do you mind if I talk to you for a quick second? Promise it won't take more than five minutes."

Yuuki looked and saw the other girls were already in their rooms, but she saw Shido and his group staring at her in lust. Suppressing a shiver and hoping Naruto didn't notice, Yuuki said, "Okay, let's talk in my room so I can go to sleep once we're done."

Yuuki then opened the door to her room and walked inside with Naruto following behind her before they closed the door. Neither was aware of one from Shido's group glaring at the two of them while leering at Yuuki.

After entering the room, Yuuki had told Naruto he could sit on the bed or the chair to wait while she changed clothes. While Naruto waited, he looked around the room. The room Yuuki had chosen wasn't that extravagant compared to the other available rooms, but it gave off a feeling of home. The bed was a full-size bed with white and purple sheets and light purple pillows. There was a desk that had a computer, which Naruto doubted worked, along with a chair, which he sat in, and a printer. There was a nightstand next to the bed with a lamp and drawers that were full of socks and other bits of clothing. Naruto moved his attention away from the drawers of clothes since he did not want Yuuki walking in and seeing him staring at the drawers and thinking he was a perv.

Okay, so he may be a bit of a perv, but what did you expect when you train with Jiraiya of the Sannin? However, unlike Jiraiya, Naruto was popular with women since he didn't go around hot springs to peep on women but instead would compliment and tell them how beautiful they were. Jiraiya had been jealous and began saying how his dad had been the same with the ladies, but less aware of his actions than Naruto. Naruto didn't care how jealous Jiraiya became since he'd told the man many times that he'd be more popular if he'd kept his perversions in check.

Naruto was knocked out of his thoughts when Yuuki walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of light blue short-shorts and a grey tank-top. Both of which hugged her body tightly and showed her long legs, heart-shaped ass, and her E-cup breasts. Yuuki walked over to the bed and placed her school uniform on the end before she sat on the bed, crossing her legs, and looking at Naruto with a smile.

"So," Yuuki started with her usual bubbly self and a smile, "What did you want to talk about?"

However, Yuuki flinched when she saw Naruto giving her a sad smile as he replied, "You don't have to hide how your feeling, you know? It's just the two of us right now and I'm pretty sure the walls are thick enough to prevent the others from hearing what we're saying so long as we're not shouting."

Yuuki's smiled faded away as she began frowning while pulling her legs to her chest, showing how afraid she was. Yuuki then whispered, "How is it that you always know what I'm feeling?"

Despite whispering, Naruto was able to hear her thanks to his enhanced hearing and chuckled a bit before saying, "Because, while you may be pretty good at wearing a fake smile, I was a master at them when I was younger." Yuuki lifted her head a bit and looked over her knees at him while he had a gentle smile on his face and said, "And while I may not have to use those smiles anymore, I do still have the ability to tell when someone is wearing one. Besides, why wouldn't I know when one of my friends is feeling troubled by something?"

'I forgot,' Yuuki thought as she hid her face again in hopes of hiding her smile, 'Naruto-kun isn't one to leave his people alone if they are feeling troubled. Especially when they're his friends.' Yuuki then thought back to when she had first met Naruto and how he had saved her from what could have been the worst moment in her life.


~Flashback within a Flashback~

Yuuki's P.O.V.

Yuuki looked around her in fear as she was surrounded by a bunch of boys from her school, another school, and the local gang. Hell, she saw a few boys who she had thought were the nice and innocent-type from around the school and neighborhood. However, now they all surrounded her and her friend while leering at the two of them.

"HEL-MMPH!"

Yuuki tried to scream for help but her mouth was covered before she could finish calling for help by one of the boys from her school.

"Shut up if you know what's good for you," Said the boy holding her mouth. She remembered his name was Tsunoda and how he has had an extreme obsession with her. She never liked him because she had found out that he was the reason the rumors of her being the "School Slut" had started.

Yuuki struggled in Tsunoda's grip, hoping, PRAYING, that she and her friend would be okay. Hoping that Kami or some benevolent being could hear her prayers and would answer them. Luckily for her, someone did hear her, but they were the furthest thing from a benevolent being there is.

"Hmm, what's going on here?"

Yuuki looked to see someone she had recognized from her school, 'NARUTO-KUN!? What is he doing here!? Is he here to help us or to join them?' Yuuki thought while being very afraid at the last thought possibly being the case.

"A bunch of dudes, scared girls, and an alley away from view. That sounds like the start to either a really bad and dark joke, or the start of what would be the most damaging and painful part of their lives."

Yuuki slightly sweatdropped at the first part of what he said since, when she thought about it, it did sound like the start to a bad joke. Yuuki suddenly blinked when Tsunoda let go of her and began making his way towards Naruto while another boy restrained her.

"Who the hell do you think you are, huh!?" She heard Tsunoda exclaim.

Naruto hadn't replied, and Yuuki suddenly jumped when Tsunoda suddenly grabbed Naruto by his collar and exclaimed, "Hello!? Did you hear what I said!? I asked who the hell are you!?"

"Jeez, calm down Tostada," came Naruto reply in his usual calm and lazy voice.

Yuuki and her friend couldn't help but begin giggling when they heard him as they thought it was funny.

Clearly Tsunoda didn't when she heard him exclaim, "My name isn't Tostada!"

"As for who I am," Yuuki heard Naruto begin while he placed the guitar case that he always has on him down, "I'm the one who's going to help those girls and kick all of your asses."

This caused the boys to begin glaring at his words before all of their eyes, including Yuuki's and her friend's eyes, widened when Tsunoda suddenly flew past them, slamming into some trash cans. Looking back, they saw the boy was unconscious and was covered in trash that had once filled the trash cans. Hearing something cracking, they all turned back to Naruto and saw him slowly cracking his fingers while cracking his neck. Yuuki watched as he slowly approached the boys before Naruto asked, "Before we get started, would anyone like to leave while still unbroken?"

This terrified the group of boys as one of them nervously asked, "Y-Y-You mean 'unharmed,' r-r-right?"

The next four words Naruto said next caused absolute panic to set in.

"No, I meant unbroken."

With that, Yuuki and her friend watched as Naruto lunged at the group before proceeding to give all the boys the worst beating they will ever experience in their lives. Not even five minutes later and Naruto was dusting his hands off while all the boys are now in a pile with bruises, black eyes, broken noses, broken bones, and with a lot of wounded pride. Yuuki saw Naruto turn to her and her friend and she figured he was probably able to see the astonishment that she and her friend shared.

Regular P.O.V.

After he was finished laying into all the boys, Naruto had turned to the girls to make sure they were okay. After looking them over for injuries, Naruto also paid attention to who they were and what they were wearing. He kind of recognized the girl who wore his school uniform which consisted of a short, green and white plaid skirt, white dress shirt that hugged her frame and E-cup breasts. She had light-orange hair that was held back with a headband, yellow eyes, and earrings with some regular black shoes. He may not know her name, but he definitely recognized her, the other girl, however, he didn't know. She had tan skin, long blonde hair, and blue eyes. She wore a choker around her neck, loose socks, brown shoes, a red and yellow plaid skirt, a blue sweater tied around her waist, and a white dress shirt that she had left mostly unbuttoned, showing off a lot of cleavage from her F-cup breasts.

After looking them over to check for any injuries, Naruto asked, "Are the two of you okay?"

The blonde girl nodded with a smile and said, "Yup! Thanks a bunch! Who knows what would have happened to us if you hadn't stopped them."

Naruto gave one of his lazy smiles with half-lidded eyes and replied while shrugging his shoulders, "It was no biggie, I was walking by when I heard one of you scream before it was cut-off. It may have been for a brief second, but it was still enough to pique my curiosity enough for me to see what was happening."

"Well, I for one, am glad that Yuuki-chan has such powerful vocal cords. Anyways, I'm Kyouka, Kyouka Shiraishi, and this is my friend Yuuki Miku," The now named Kyouka introduced herself and Yuuki.

Naruto then stopped giving a lazy smile in exchange for a proper one as said, "I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki and it's a pleasure to meet you Kyouka-chan and to officially meet you, Yuuki-chan."


~Flashback within Flashback End~

Since then, Naruto had occasionally hung out with Yuuki and Kyouka in order to deepen the friendship the three of them had. Turns out, both girls had been deemed as the "School Slut" from their respective stalkers due to their looks in attempts to get them for themselves. They had met each other when they had both went to a cafe to try and forget the leering and rumors for the day. Since then, the two of them had become inseparable and were the best of friends. As time progressed and the trio spent time together, Naruto had taken on the role of bodyguard for Yuuki and Kyouka whenever some unsavory guys tried to force themselves on the two.

Anyways, coming out of her trip down memory lane, Yuuki looked at Naruto with a sad smile and said, "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. I'm just worried about Kyouka and the other two. I know they have that big wall around there house, but I'm still worried about them."

Naruto frowned a bit as he got up from the chair and moved over to the bed before sitting down on her right. Gently wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Naruto brought Yuuki into a one-armed hug, getting her to stiffen for a second before she relaxed into his arm. She felt so safe and warm whenever he held her like this, like a protective blanket that would shield her from all those that would cause her harm.

Naruto gently rubbed her left arm as he said, "It's okay to be worried but don't let that be a reason you prevent yourself from interacting with the others."

Yuuki shook her head before saying, "That's not why I don't want to interact with the other girls. I just don't want to be ridiculed by them if it turns out that they believed the rumors about me. It doesn't help that Shido is here with Tsunoda and his group. All of them make me extremely uncomfortable, especially Tsunoda and his obsession with me."

Naruto's frown deepened when he felt Yuuki shiver when mentioning Tsunoda. He, of course, knew who Tsunoda was, but he didn't respect the dude. That's the main reason why he still calls him Tostada instead of Tsunoda because he hasn't earned the privilege or respect from Naruto to be called by his name.

Hugging Yuuki a little closer and tighter, Naruto said, "Don't worry, if any of them try anything, I'll be there to protect you. That's a promise and you know me and my promises, right?"

Yuuki nodded her head with a soft smile as she began to feel drowsy from the warm and safe feeling Naruto was emitting as she slowly said, "You… never… go back… on your… word."

With that, Yuuki fell asleep, softly breathing as she leaned into Naruto, who smiled softly at her. Naruto then slowly got up, being extra careful not to wake her, before he laid her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Naruto moved towards the door and grabbed the doorknob before opening the door. However, as he began closing the door behind him, Naruto turned back to look at Yuuki and thought, 'Goodnight Yuuki-chan, and don't worry,' Naruto looked forward, unaware that his eyes were flashing between blue and crimson, with a determined look in his eyes as he finished his thought, 'If Shido or any of them try anything, I will make sure they regret!'


~Flashback end~

Currently, Naruto was at the top of the building, meditating with Rebellion on his back. Well, to be more precise, Naruto was on the wall at the top of the building. See, he was currently controlling his chakra to stick to the wall while slowly reducing how much he used. This was a little exercise he had developed to further increase one's chakra control when using the tree walking technique. It had been something that was on his mind one day as he thought about possibly reducing the amount of chakra he uses to stick to trees and walls to have more chakra when fighting.

Anyways, Naruto sat still for a few more minutes before he stood up on the wall and stretched. He then grabbed Rebellion from his back and began to practice with it by increasing its weight. Naruto had messed around with Rebellion a bit while the group was driving and had found that when he channels his Demonic power into Rebellion, it not only becomes sharper, but lighter as well. However, when Naruto channeled chakra into Rebellion, it became sharper as well as heavier and denser. When Naruto realized this, he began grinning like a maniac to the point that Trish had worried he was secretly insane and hadn't told her.

Of course, Naruto erased Trish's worries when he simply explained he was going to enjoy training like crazy again.

Anyways, Naruto was currently swinging the heavier Rebellion around in order to strengthen his arms and to also get used to the heavier sword for quicker movements. Normally, he would have used gravity and resistance seals, but he didn't have any ink or brushes to use. On top of that, Naruto knew that, even if he had the ink and brushes, he wanted his chakra control to be a little better so that he doesn't accidentally overcharge the seals. Naruto shuddered as he remembered the one time he accidentally overcharged a gravity seal during his training trip with Jiraiya.

He did not need to slam down into the ground around here, especially with all the zombies that would be attracted from the noise of him slamming into the ground. Not only that, but Naruto knew that even his insane regeneration would be hard-pressed with a fall from this height.

Anyways, Naruto continued training to increase his speed, strength, and control of his chakra/Demonic power when he stopped mid-swing. His eyes widening as he was suddenly hit with a large wave of negative emotions ranging from greed, anger, envy, with the most prominent being unrestrained lust. Naruto had figured that if he ever gained his chakra back, that he would regain his ability to sense negative emotions. However, he wasn't expecting for it to activate so suddenly, or for there to be such a large amount of negative emotions waiting to slam into him when it did. The sudden sensing of negative emotions caused Naruto to lose his focus and slip off the wall. Luckily, Naruto's reflexes never dulled, as the moment he slipped off the building, one of his hands shot out and grabbed the top of the building, stopping his fall. Naruto hung off the building for a second before he shook his head and quickly pulled himself up.

'What the hell!?' Naruto mentally shouted, 'I've never felt negative emotions as strong as this before! What could be causing this!?'

Closing his eyes, Naruto focused his senses as he began calming down to pinpoint the source or sources of all the negative emotions. As he focused his senses, the negative emotions he was feeling were beginning to reduce so that he didn't feel them all at once and was now focusing. He kept focusing, further and further, as the image in his mind became clear before his widened and he immediately made a clone to go do its job while he ran back inside the building.

The reason?

Naruto realized that the negative emotions he was feeling were not only coming from Shido and his group but that there was someone who was entering Yuuki's room who was radiating the most amount of lust.


~At the Same Time~

While Naruto was training on the roof and having his brief overload of sensing negative emotions. Yuuki was sleeping with a small, soft smile on her lips as she dreamed of Naruto. From his kind and protective nature to his personality and good looks.

~Near-Rape Scene ahead. If you are someone who does not want to see this or are sensitive about this type of subject, or if it brings up any bad memories or something, or if you are underage, I would suggest immediately skipping over this next part until you reach the next bold text~

As Yuuki slept, she was unaware of the person who had just entered her room and was making their way towards her. They silently moved across the room, getting closer and closer to where Yuuki was. The person wiped their mouth as they were drooling from imagining the things they were planning to do to Yuuki. Unfortunately, the person lost focus and ended up knocking over a chair which hit the floor with a crash, which caused Yuuki to jump awake at the sound.

Yuuki saw the person and was about to scream until the person lunged and covered her mouth with one hand and pinning her wrists above her head with the other. Yuuki struggled against the person as her eyes widened in fear before one of her feet caught the curtains to the window and tore them down. This caused the moonlight to pour into the room, allowing Yuuki to see who it was and her eyes widened even further while even more fear entered her eyes as she saw Tsunoda was the one who was currently pinning her down.

Yuuki then began to struggle more which caused Tsunoda to growl as he tightened his grip on Yuuki, getting her to whimper as he growled out, "Stop struggling bitch!"

Yuuki froze up a bit while she still looked at Tsunoda with wide-eyes full of fear and terror. Tsunoda then growled, "Do you have any idea the amount of trouble your little boyfriend Uzumaki got me in!?" Normally, Yuuki would have blushed at basically being called Naruto's girlfriend, but given her current situation, she didn't.

Tsunoda then continued his rant, "The plan was so simple! All of us were going to take you and your friend to an alley, have our way with you, and then you would have been so broken you would willingly look for our cocks! But then our plan was stopped when Uzumaki came and saved you!"

Tsunoda's grip tightened some more, causing Yuuki to whimper and squirm some more as he growled out, "After Uzumaki saved the two of you, I lost any respect the other members of my gang had for me! They ignored me and completely left alone, kicking me out of the gang!" Tsunoda then looked down at Yuuki with insanity and lust as he said, "But now, I have you right where I want you, alone, in a room, and away from the others. Not even that boyfriend of yours is here to stop me from enjoying myself."

Tsunoda then removed his hand from her mouth, allowing Yuuki to realize that he had taped her mouth and wrists before he began roughly groping Yuuki's breasts, getting her to flinch and groan from the pain of having her breasts roughly groped. Tsunoda then pulled her tank top down, causing her breasts to pop out since she hadn't put her bra on since she gets uncomfortable when wearing a bra to bed. Tsunoda continued groping her breast while also twisting her nipple before he took in her other nipple into his mouth. Yuuki involuntarily moaned, unused to having her breasts groped and suckled, but she was still shaking her head and squirming.

Yuuki tried screaming through the tape, hoping that someone, somehow, would hear her in her time of need. Tsunoda then reached down with his other hand and began trying to pull off Yuuki's shorts and panties with Yuuki fighting against him in order to keep her clothes on. However, Tsunoda eventually managed to get her shorts off, but it was at that moment that Yuuki kicked him in the face, knocking him back before she scrambled to her feet. Running towards the door, Yuuki attempted to open the door but she was suddenly grabbed and thrown to the floor, causing her to lose her breath and have a hard time breathing due to the tape on her mouth.

Looking up, Yuuki began rapidly crawling back as she saw Tsunoda glaring and snarling at her with a bloody mouth as Yuuki had kicked his chin. Tsunoda lunged at her and began fighting to grab her before he managed to get a grip and flipped her over so was lying on her stomach while he lifted her ass in the air. Yuuki then began hearing rustling and looked to see Tsunoda undoing his belt and pants. Yuuki's eyes widened in fear before she began struggling harder and tried moving away however, Tsunoda kept his grip on her hips, holding her in place.

"Oh no, you don't! You're going to stay right here and take it like the bitch you are!" Tsunoda snarled out as he finished undoing his pants and pulled his erect member out.

Yuuki continued struggling as she felt Tsunoda move closer and place his member against her pussy. Yuuki shut her eyes, preparing herself for the pain that was coming as she thought, 'Naruto-kun, help me!'

It was at this time that she and Tsunoda heard the door suddenly break apart with a loud, "CRASH!"

~Near-Rape Scene End~

Both Tsunoda and Yuuki turned to look at the door but Tsunoda was kicked in the head, HARD, knocking him into the wall and away from Yuuki. Yuuki looked up and saw her friend, savior, and bodyguard since she first met him.

'Naruto-kun!' Yuuki thought with tears of joy slowly building in her eyes. She saw him standing over her with a glare on his face as he stared at Tsunoda before he glanced down towards her. Yuuki then remembered her current state of dress due to Tsunoda and she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment and look away from him as she thought, 'I'm glad he's here but this is so~ embarrassing! He probably doesn't even want to do anything with me anymore because I couldn't even defend myself.'

Yuuki was getting depressed, believing that Naruto wouldn't like her anymore for being unable to defend herself, but she blinked in surprise when she felt herself being covered and lifted into a sitting position. Looking down, Yuuki saw that she had been covered by her blanket before looking up with a surprised look in her eye when she saw Naruto also placing her shorts and panties in the blanket with her.

Naruto seeing her expression simply smiled as he undid the tape on her wrists and mouth and said, "Don't worry, I didn't look while you were exposed. Before I deal with him, let's get you to the bathroom so you can have some privacy to put your clothes back on."

Yuuki nodded, still too shaken up to properly speak, as she felt Naruto gently help her up and walk her to the bathroom while making sure the blanket stayed wrapped around her. Once she was inside, Naruto closed the door behind her before he stabbed Rebellion into the ground in front of the door while channeling a large amount of chakra into it. Naruto then turned back to the still-exposed Tsunoda with his glare returning full-force, unaware that his eyes were flashing red again. Naruto began clenching his fists while stalking towards Tsunoda, who had finally managed to stand back up and looked to see Naruto standing between him and "his" Yuuki.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, huh!?" Tsunoda shouted, furious that someone was preventing him from claiming the one he wants, as he threw a punch at Naruto.

Naruto didn't answer as he quickly dodged the punch before grabbing Tsunodaby the face and slamming the back of his head into the wall. However, Naruto, in his moment of anger, forgot about how much stronger he was now that he was a half-devil, and when he slammed Tsunoda's head against the wall, he embedded Tsunoda's head in the wall while Tsunoda was knocked unconscious.

Seeing Tsunoda was unconscious, Naruto walked over to the bathroom and placed his sword on his back before knocking on the door and asking, "Yuuki-chan, are you decent?"

Hearing a soft, "Yes," Naruto slowly opened the door and looked inside to try and see where Yuuki was. He saw the blanket on the ground but he didn't know where Yuuki was until he heard sniffling coming from the bathtub. Walking over to the bathtub, he opened the curtains and found Yuuki laying in the tub, curled up while she hugged her knees to her chest. He saw that she was shaking and could tell that the events of the last half-hour had finally set in.

Naruto slowly moved towards her before he sat on the edge of the tub while putting his sword on the floor and softly asked, "Yuuki, are you okay?"

Yuuki flinched at first, but when she heard Naruto's voice, she began to relax and looked at him with fear-filled eyes as she broke down crying before she tightly wrapped her arms around him. Naruto wasn't surprised by her reaction, as he knew, that he had been even a second slower, Yuuki would have forcefully lost her virginity had Tsunoda forced himself inside of her.

Naruto would have said something but it was at this moment that he heard the sound of footsteps. At first, he thought Tsunoda had woken up and was prepared to knock him unconscious again, but then he realized that more than one person was making the sound. Naruto then realized that everyone had woken up and were currently heading towards Yuuki's room.

"What happened here?" Naruto heard Saya's voice ask from the hallway.

He could tell they were just arriving at Yuuki's door and were about to enter the room where they would find the still-exposed and unconscious Tsunoda.

Looking back at Yuuki, he gently asked, "Do you think you've recovered enough to talk to the others? And you don't have to force yourself if your not."

Yuuki shook her head, as she still couldn't talk right now and Naruto nodded his head in understanding. Carefully grabbing his sword, Naruto replaced it on his back while picking up Yuuki and moving out of the bathroom. As Naruto slowly moved out of the bathroom, he came across everyone else who had finally entered the room and saw Tsunoda in the wall.

"Naruto-kun, what happened here?" Kyoko asked as everyone had seen the destroyed door and were worried about Yuuki.

Everyone looked at Naruto as he said, "Tsunoda snuck into Yuuki-chan's room and attempted to rape her when he was sure everyone was asleep. It seemed that his obsession with Yuuki-chan caused him to snap, especially since she would deny his advances in the past so he decided to take matters into his own hands. However, it seems he woke her up before making it to her, as seen by the evident struggle that took place on the bed and through the room."

Naruto was informing everyone of what he felt while he was rushing down, though he couldn't tell them that he sensed what was happening. He didn't trust Shido's group to not try anything if he revealed his abilities. It was bad enough that Trish revealed one of her powers, he did not want to reveal his abilities in front of Shido just for the dick to twist his words.

Naruto then continued to inform everyone of what happened, "I heard the sound of the struggle since I was still awake and my room was nearby. I wanted to see if anything was wrong only to find the door was locked. Hearing the commotion inside, I broke the door down, finding Tsunoda about to… penetrate… Yuuki-chan. Rushing forward, I kicked Tsunoda away from the bound Yuuki, handed her clothes to her while covering her, before unbinding her and leading her to the bathroom for some privacy. After leading her to the bathroom, I came back and proceeded to slam Tsunoda into the wall, but I guess I don't know my own strength since I put him partially into the wall."

Everyone looked back at the wall, since Tsunoda had been removed and covered, and saw a pretty deep indentation where Tsunoda had been. They also saw bits of blood from Tsunoda getting his head cut from hitting the wall. Everyone was shocked at Naruto's strength, though given he wields the sword that he does with ease, it was understandable.

Shido suddenly stepped forward while clearing his throat, gaining everyone's attention as he said, "That's quite an interesting story, Naruto-san, but how do we know you're telling the truth?"

This got a reaction out of everyone, with the girls, Takashi, and Kouta being furious at Shido for accusing their friend, while Shido's cult simply looked smug as they watched, believing Naruto would back down.

Naruto, however, reacted in a manner that was entirely different from what everyone expected.

Naruto, with shadowed eyes, calmly walked up to Shido before lifting his head and staring Shido in the eye. It was then that everyone noticed Naruto's normally cerulean blue eyes had turned into a burning crimson with slit pupils and were staring at Shido with a look they had never seen come from Naruto before.

It was a look of complete and utter disgust. The same look one would give to what they would deem the lowest piece of trash and filth.

It also didn't help that Naruto was no longer slouching so he stood at his full height, which was a few inches taller than Shido, making the man have to look up to look Naruto in the eye.

"You mean besides the fact that Tsunoda had his pants down when you came in?" Naruto said with a cold tone, "How about the fact that Yuuki is displaying the signs of someone who was nearly raped? Or the fact that she is currently unable to meet the eyes of anyone? So if the best you can do is just try and cause distrust amongst all of us to try and nominate yourself as some 'all-knowing leader,' then I suggest you stay the hell from all of us."

Looking at everyone who wasn't a part of Shido's cult, he said, "Come on, Trish and I will drive while the rest of you get some sleep. We're gonna leave them here since they can't seem to take their heads out of their asses."

With that, Naruto led Yuuki out of the room, while the others, minus Shido and his group, began to leave so they can get their stuff. Once outside, they all saw that there was now a second van next to Naruto's for them to get in.

"Wait right there!"

Turning around, they all saw Shido standing there with a smirk as he said, "You may all leave, but you'll have to leave Ms. Marikawa here since we will still need a medic. Plus, she took a vow to never abandon people in need, and it seems that all of you are doing fine. So leave her here and the rest of you can go."

This made everyone mad, with Shizuka also shivering in fear when she, and everyone else, saw the look of lust on Shido's face. But it didn't last long when Naruto appeared in front of Shido with Rebellion against the man's throat, pushing it against the skin, making a slight cut which terrified the man.

"No, she's not going with you. She is going to be leaving with us and that is final," Naruto said while glaring at Shido with his still red eyes.

"You're a teacher, so you should be fine taking care of yourself and your little cult back there. So, we're leaving, and if you try to make a demand of us again, I'll behead you myself before doing the same to your cult."

This terrified Shido as he exclaimed, "You can't do that! That's murder!"

Naruto growled a bit before pushing Rebellion a little deeper into Shido's neck as he yelled, "Look around! Do you think people would survive in this world if they always followed the rules!? Right now, people are out there, killing, raping, and stealing for a chance to survive, so what're a few more deaths!? IT CERTAINLY WOULDN'T BOTHER ME!"

In the end, Shido was shivering in fear while the others in the vans were smiling and nodding in pride at Naruto's words. Though they were also a little worried and concerned with how easy he talked about killing Shido and his group. As if he had done it all his life and killing Shido would have been as easy as breathing. However, they knew that right now wasn't the time and that they would ask at a later time, hopefully when everyone has had a chance to cool off.

With that, Naruto backed up and went to his van to drive while Trish went to the other van that his clone had obtained, not that anyone but him was aware of that fact, so that she could drive that one. So, with everyone now strapped in, they all began to leave, not even looking back as Shido glared at the two vans. However, if they had, they would have noticed Shido's eyes changing to an almost blank look that resembled goat eyes.

'This isn't over, Son of Sparda,' Shido thought as a slight mist began gathering around his body while the floor slowly began being covered in ice, 'I will get those women eventually and I will make you watch as I take them and force them into submission before finally killing you!'

With that, Shido calmed down, making the mist surrounding him dissipate and his eyes turn back to normal before heading back inside the building.


What's up, everyone!?

I hope you're all staying safe and healthy with this crisis that is currently going on. I know I am too, but I also wish to apologize for still taking so long to update. Normally, I can focus better than I have recently, but due to everything happening, my attention span has shortened due to the stress of it all. However, I do promise to get better and hopefully, start writing and updating more quickly.

Next, for those who read the dark scene I wrote, I apologize if it was offensive in any way. Please understand that I normally do not write scenes like this, and I, myself, do not like them that much either unless they serve a purpose for the story and they don't go all the way. Also, please understand that this story takes place during a zombie apocalypse so there will be some dark times or dark scenes, but I will do my best to limit them.
