Review Response:
Prbenjamin: Thank you. Hm, I can't say, it would spoil the surprise.
Guest: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten, just working out the bugs of the curse.
Dig Saddler: I understand, I feel the same. Last chapter feels weaker. I can't say, don't want to spoil it.
Guest: Please be patient, it is coming.
Guest: I will.
Guests: Thank you for understanding, I have a life outside of writing, so I need to take breaks.
Guest: I liked Hel's interactions with Naruto, reminds me of Morgiana from Magi.
Guest: I actually wanted to have Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel defect in Ghoul of Gremory, but was pushed to the side, happy I got to use it here in this story.
Guest: Sir, please calm down. Naruto and Rossweisse's lemon will be soon, I want to take it slow.
Guest: Yeah, Naruto is still young, so letting things go is still hard for him.
Guest: I know, it is a nice touch. I also had Jormungandr get in on the action.
Guest: Yeah, I needed Naruto to help end the fight with Loki.
Guest: Yes, I know. I actually forgot to have Vali, Kisame, and Arthur appear and watch the fight. I am so stupid.
Guest: FIRE FIST!
Guest: Thank you.
Guest: Thank you, it means a lot to hear that.
Draegoon: You have no idea. Also, we need to talk, you have been out of the story, what are you doing in the future timeline?
Za Warudo: Yes, Rossweisse is in Naruto's harem, he lusts after her quite a bit.
Harem:
Kunou (When she is 16), Koneko, Ravel, Kuroka, Xenovia, Irina
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey"= Sacred Gear/ Communication link
Chapter 45: Day of Rest
Team Vali Base…
"Aah, this feels nice." Biko stated as he eased himself into hot water of the large co-ed hot spring. "I forgot how nice the warmth felt."
La fey, wearing a towel, nodded in agreement.
Robin, meanwhile, read a book that was water proof thanks to La fey.
"Well, you guys are back." Vali said as he, Kisame, and Arthur entered the hot spring, all wearing towels.
"Yep, how was the fight?" Robin asked as she closed the book.
"Hm." Vali scowled as he sat next to his woman, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"We didn't get to fight." Kisame stated angrily as Samehada crawled into the hot spring, sighing in the warm water. "I mean, we got to watch them fight, but since Fenrir wasn't there, we had no reason to interfere."
Robin, Biko, and La fey looked at each other.
"He was in Helheim." La fey stated nervously.
There was silence.
"Why?" Arthur asked calmly, not really angry at the turn of events like Vali and Kisame.
"He was with Naruto, both looking for Hel." Robin answered.
"Yeah, and together, all five of us fought this troll thing named something Helson, and we were able to free Hel." Biko exclaimed triumphantly, and to hang their fight over Kisame's head.
Kisame growled as he grabbed his sword.
"You want to go you fucking monkey!" Kisame shouted, standing up, not caring his dick was exposed, making La fey cover her eyes.
"Yeah, I've been itching to fight you!" Biko shouted cheerfully as he summoned his staff, standing up to show off his own dick before they were silenced by Robin's arms appearing.
"By all means…" Robin said sickly sweet. "Continue, if you don't mind being turned into pretzels."
Kisame sat down, Samehada propped next to him as Biko sat down.
"Alright." Biko sighed.
"Anything happen after the fight?" Arthur asked, trying to stay on track.
"After Hel was freed, Helson turned out to be under Loki's control, so he is still alive." La fey said as she calmed down from seeing Kisame and Biko all natural.
"After that, we left because we knew that Naruto, Hel, and Fenrir were going to stop Loki." Robin finished, leaning into Vali, giggling as she felt him grab her butt. "So, no, nothing much happened after the fight."
Vali leaned back against the hot spring wall.
"Next time, we will do more." Vali stated as he closed his eyes, deciding to enjoy the water.
Phenex Mansion…
"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Sabo asked his doctor.
"For the last time, Sabo, we ran every diagnostic we can, and there is no curse on you." The doctor replied.
"But I am sure that Loki…"
"If he did then it would have registered." The doctor cut Sabo off. "Now, if you please, I have actual patients waiting in critical condition. Have a good day."
Sabo sighed as he redressed.
'I know I heard Loki cast a curse, but why isn't it showing up?' Sabo thought as he returned home.
Skip…
Ravel smiled sweetly while leaning into her hand as she looked at Naruto while he slept.
Fenrir, Ameyuri, and Gilga sleeping during this at the foot of Ravel's bed.
"Look at you, snoozing there like a sexy little baby." Ravel said seductively. "I hope you wake up soon so I can rock your cradle."
There was a knock at the door that made Ravel jump.
"Lady Ravel, breakfast is ready." Nana called through the door.
"Alright Nana, we will be right there." Ravel stated. 'Fricking clam-jammer.'
Ravel sighed before returning her attention to Naruto.
"Naruto, its time to wake up, food is ready." Ravel said as she gently shook Naruto.
"Alright, but, ugh, I think you are going to need to change my diaper." Naruto said with a cheeky grin, making Ravel blush in embarrassment. "After all, I'm a sexy little baby."
"Y-you heard that?" Ravel asked meekly and red.
"I heard ALL of that." Naruto laughed as he shook himself like a dog.
"No…" Ravel whimpered.
Naruto smiled before he wrapped his arms around Ravel, pulling her into a hug.
"Thank you, Ravel." Naruto said as he kissed her cheek. "I didn't want to be alone, especially…"
Naruto's grip tightened for a fraction of a second.
Ravel touched his arms, feeling him relax more.
"I love you, so any time, Naruto." Ravel replied sweetly.
Naruto's tail wrapped around Ravel's waist as they hugged, listening to the snores of the wolf and grim pups.
*SLAM* "Naruto, you awake?" Xenovia asked as she kicked Ravel's door in, destroying it, making Fenrir, Ameyuri, and Gilga jump off the bed, poised to attack.
"DAMN IT XENOVIA!" Ravel shouted as she saw the ruined door hanging by one hinge as Xenovia walked in, wearing a lone sleep shirt with pink torso and purple sleeves and tight jeans.
"Oh, don't worry." Xenovia said as she sat on the bed. "You're rich."
'That's not the point.' Ravel thought as she sizzled in anger while Xenovia pulled Naruto off of Ravel and into her lap, pulling out a hairbrush.
Naruto shifted into a fox and let Xenovia brush his fur.
"You all ready to go home?" Ravel asked as she got up and grabbed some clothing.
"Yeah, we all are." Xenovia said nonchalantly as she focused on brushing Naruto.
"Why do they need to be ready to go home?" Fenrir asked in confusion.
"We are leaving after breakfast." Ravel stated before she entered the small changing room, returning several minutes later wearing a blouse and a skirt.
Ameyuri and Gilga happily bound to Ravel and dived into her shadow.
Fenrir scoffed.
"Show offs." He muttered, seeing the glowing eyes of the pups in Ravel's shadow innocently look at him in confusion.
Fenrir wisely smiled and walked out of the room, really hungry.
"There, all nice and luscious." Xenovia declared as she held Naruto, whose fur was freshly brushed and shiny.
Naruto licked her nose, giggling at the look on her face before he returned to human form.
"Okay, I need to get dressed." Naruto said, since he was naked.
Xenovia, who was still holding him, got a good long look at Naruto's dick.
"Xenovia, let me go, I need to get dressed." Naruto repeated.
"What? Oh, sorry." Xenovia replied as she put him down, red in the face and super horny. "I'll be going down to breakfast." 'Right after I change my panties really quick.'
Naruto got dressed before he and Ravel went to breakfast.
"Morning~" Naruto said with high energy as he saw the Phenex peerage, missing Koneko and Irina since they were at the Gremory Mansion, but saw Rossweisse.
He happily made his way over to the older woman and got in her lap.
Gremory Mansion…
Koneko put her cat clip in her hair.
'There, all done.' She thought as she focused on putting the last of her clothing away in her suitcase, all ready to go home. 'I can't wait to see Naruto again. God, it was torture going a month without any sex. But I had my shadow clone help me get relief.'
Koneko shivered in anticipation for her next session with Naruto.
Irina, meanwhile, sat at the table with Asia, Issei, and Kiba while they all ate breakfast, waiting for the rest of the peerage to appear to eat before they returned home.
'I am looking forward to the next semester of school.' Irina thought positively.
She went stiff, eyes slowly opening.
"Irina, something wrong?" Asia asked as she noticed Irina's reaction.
"Guys, we didn't do our summer homework." Irina said stiffly as sweat started to appear on her face.
Issei, Kiba, and Asia blinked, their faces showing no emotion.
"Hey, everyone, sorry for…" Rias started to say.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Issei shouted as Kiba face palmed and Asia was frantically panicking in her seat.
"What is going on?" Akeno asked, slightly amused at the suffering of her juniors.
Skip, Train…
"GOD, why did they give us so much homework!" Lee exclaimed as he ran his hand through his hair, nearly ripping it out, turning to Kakashi. "WHY?"
"Because it is part of the curriculum." Kakashi responded, putting a hand on the Oni's shoulder. "Come on, you can do it Lee."
Lee dropped into his chair, sighing in agony before he started to focus back on his studies.
Rossweisse, meanwhile, was helping Naruto, Koneko, and Ravel while Xenovia was helped by Irina.
Sadly, Koneko and Naruto were cheating with Shadow clones helping them study all subjects and to help with their homework.
To say it was effective was an understatement.
Kuroka, while everyone was studying, was bored as she looked at the ceiling, not really having anything to do.
Fenrir, meanwhile, was taking a nap with Ameyuri and Gilga snuggling into him with Nero resting on his head, which Naruto thought was adorable.
Xenovia let out an annoyed groan when Irina pointed out she made a mistake.
"Come on, I know you can do it." Irina urged as she showed how to correctly answer it. "Remember the steps I taught you."
"Easier said than done, Irina." Xenovia muttered as she leaned back, glancing at Naruto and his clones. 'Oh, lord I want a gangbang again.'
She had been horny ever since they returned home the day before, going over a month without sex or sexual stimulation was not something she wanted.
"How you holding up, Irina?" Xenovia whispered, looking at Irina in her casual wear. "I mean, you must be feeling some frustration?"
Irina blushed in embarrassment as her eyes widened.
"Sh-shut up…" Irina whimpered as she covered her face, taking a peek at Naruto.
She had been feeling intense lustful sensations, but she wasn't going to act on them… despite wanting to.
"Rossweisse, you are very smart." Koneko stated as she was able to understand the method for the work Rossweisse taught her.
Rossweisse smiled.
"Thank you, that means very much to me." Rossweisse replied, looking at her lap when Naruto, in fox form, landed in her lap.
"Rossweisse, rub my belly?" Naruto asked playfully, having just finished his homework with Ravel, who was slightly irked Naruto went to Rossweisse.
Rossweisse ran her hand across his exposed stomach with her fingers.
Naruto was in heaven as the slight tickling sensation ran through his gut and spine, making him putty in her hands.
'She gives the best belly rubs.' Naruto thought on cloud nine.
'Lucky.' Ravel, Irina, Koneko, and Xenovia thought as they watched the Queen.
'Wait…' Rossweisse thought suddenly. 'Am I sexually teasing Naruto?'
"Rossweisse?" Naruto asked as he noticed she stopped rubbing his belly.
Rossweisse mentally screamed, her hands on her head, pink covering her cheeks as a look of horror adorned her face.
'OH, ODIN WHAT AM I DOING!' she frantically thought as she stood up, making Naruto hit the floor before she ran to the restroom in the train car.
"You okay, Naruto?" Irina asked as she picked him up.
"Yeah, I am…" Naruto stopped as he entered hybrid form, his face sad as he was face first into Irina's stomach. "Actually, can we go to Dr. Bucciarati? I want to talk to him."
Irina blinked.
'If he wants to talk to Dr. Bucciarati, then it must be big.' Irina thought as she hugged Naruto, and nodded. "Sure, when we get back, I will set up an appointment, okay?"
Naruto nodded before he let her go.
"Alright, I am back." Rossweisse said as she exited the restroom, her face still slightly pink. "What did I miss?"
"Nothing at all, nya." Kuroka stated bluntly as she walked up to the Valkyrie. "Also, you got money to buy some new clothes, right, nya?"
Rossweisse blinked.
All she had was the business suit that she had worn to the meeting.
"N-no." Rossweisse replied.
"Hm, we can go shopping, nya." Kuroka said as she put her hand on Rossweisse's shoulder. "I'll buy."
Rossweisse grabbed Kuroka's hand, crocodile tears in her eyes.
"Thank you." She stated, feeling something tap her hip.
She and Kuroka looked down and saw Naruto.
"Rossweisse, I want to go out with you before school starts." Naruto said, his cheeks pink and his ears down, his tail strangely behind his legs shivering in nervousness.
Rossweisse blushed.
'No one has ever asked me out on a date.' Rossweisse thought, her heart thumping like crazy as she cupped her cheeks as they turned red.
"Uhm…" Rossweisse hummed.
"Don't worry, we don't have to do it today, and if you are worried about being seen with a minor…" Naruto said before he used the transformation jutsu, its smoke covering his body. "Then I'll use this."
Those last four words came from a more adult and mature sounding voice.
As the smoke cleared, Naruto stood before everyone, much to their amazement, as an adult roughly thirty or so.
He was tall, standing at six foot one, his yellow hair the same though it was ever so slightly different.
His cheeks lost their baby fat and became more angled, while his muscle tone was average, but not overwhelming.
His tail and fox ears were hidden and he wore a nice suit.
Rossweisse, Kuroka, Koneko, Irina, Ravel, and Xenovia all felt their spines tingle at the sound of Naruto's melodic voice as it hit their ears.
"Oh, of course, I mean, it would be troublesome if you looked like your actual self, I'd probably get arrested…" Rossweisse started to ramble as she admired Adult Naruto.
Kuroka and Xenovia (the two most horny of the harem) were drooling heavily in their mouths as they forced their libidos to stay in check.
Koneko, Irina, and Ravel felt hot under their collars, but it wasn't kicking them over the head.
"I like the look, Naruto." Kakashi said as he took a quick glance at Naruto, smirking. "Is that what you hope you look like when you grow up?"
Naruto returned to normal, blowing a raspberry at Kakashi.
"Naruto, take Rossweisse out tomorrow, nya." Kuroka urged as she knelt down to her lover. "Bring her to my work, we serve special couple meals, it will be romantic, nya."
Naruto nodded before he nervously looked at Rossweisse.
"Well, if it is okay with Rossweisse." Naruto said as he looked back at Kuroka.
"I am fine with tomorrow." Rossweisse stated rather quickly. "Just… I just need time to get a dress or at least something casual to wear."
"Okay, then it's a date." Naruto said happily as he jumped up, hugging her tightly.
"Oh, come on." Kuroka said as she pulled Naruto off Rossweisse, who sat down next to Kakashi as steam blossomed from her face, and pulled Naruto into her breasts. "Give me some attention, nya. I was the one who set up Loki's defeat."
Naruto felt everyone of his girls look at him, sweating as he was really horny now and wanted to fuck.
But with Kakashi and Lee there, it would be awkward.
"When we get home." Naruto whispered, his arousal poking Kuroka, reassuring her he meant it.
Kuroka squealed happily as she let him go, returning to the couch, head in the clouds as Naruto, Lee, Ravel, Irina, Koneko, and Xenovia finished their homework.
Bael Territory…
Sairaorg sat down, book in hand, in his mother's room.
The soft buzzing of the machines and her breathing filling the air as Hati and Skul sat at the foot of the bed in small puppy forms watching Sairaorg.
They watched as he opened the book, removing the book mark.
"You two can go outside and play for a while." Sairaorg stated to the wolves. "I am just going to read my mom's favorite book to her."
Nodding in understanding, the wolves removed themselves from the bed and exited the room.
'I am still shocked they actually obey us.' Sairaorg thought in amazement as he started reading aloud.
As this was happening, Hati and Skul walked through the mansion, growing to the size of St. Bernard's now that they were out of the room, the sound of metal jingling from their new collars which Coriana and Misteeta made for them with their respectful names on them.
"Hey, where you two off to?" Liban asked as he noticed the wolves.
Hati looked at Skul.
Liban could clearly see that they were thinking from their expressions.
'How does he expect us to respond when we can't talk?'
Liban mentally pinched himself as he rubbed their heads.
"Ignore that, you guys want some dinner?" He asked, seeing their delight as stars appeared in their eyes while their tails wagged. "Alright, follow me."
Regulus, who was currently being taught how to cook by Misteeta, blinked when Liban and the wolves entered.
"Okay, they need to leave." Misteeta bluntly said with a frown. "I like them, but their fur will contaminate everything."
"Come on, Naruto has fur on his ears and tail, yet no one complains." Liban argued lightly, not raising his voice, just stating a fact.
"That is because Naruto brushes his fur every day so there is no need for worry." Misteeta pointed out.
As Liban and Misteeta went back and forth, Hati and Skul weaseled their way over to Regulus.
"Hello." He said as he patted their heads. 'Oh lord, they remind me of Naruto.'
That thought brought a smile to the Lions face as he remembered him and Naruto with Misteeta trying to teach them how to cook.
Naruto, obviously, learned while Regulus still struggled.
"HEY!" Misteeta shouted.
*CRASH*
Regulus blinked.
He was still standing in the kitchen. However, he was alone as Hati and Skul ran off with the food he and Misteeta were attempting to prepare while he was daydreaming and Liban and Misteeta were arguing.
"GET BACK HERE!" Liban shouted as he and Misteeta took off after them.
Hati and Skul smirked, running while chewing the food they stole.
Ladora, fresh out of the shower after a hard day training, was bowled over and covered in comical paw prints.
Gandoma barely sidestepped the wolves and the running Knight and Bishop chasing them.
Beruka and Coriana, who were reading the newspaper article the news posted about Loki, were snapped from their muses as the wolves ran through the living room, around them and then hid under the couch Beruka sat on.
"A-HA, found you." Misteeta stated as she summoned her wand. "NOW GIVE US OUR FOOD BACK!"
A magic circle appeared, lifting the couch and Beruka above, slamming him into the ceiling.
Misteeta blinked, then horrified.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Misteeta apologized, allowing Hati and Skul to run as she was distracted while the couch and Beruka hit the ground.
"Oh, this is interesting." Coriana said as she joined the chase.
Hati and Skul split, one going left, and the other going right.
"Split up." Misteeta stated as the group of three split.
"THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS!" Ladora shouted as he stormed through the mansion, joining Misteeta as Coriana went with Liban.
Outside the mansion, Kuisha currently held over a dozen massive, heavy bags of groceries.
'Everyone will be happy I was able to buy the ingredients to make their favorite dishes.' Kuisha thought happily with a pep in her step.
She had saved up a lot of money from jobs she and the Peerage would do in the neighboring town to support themselves and keep the property with the Vapula pulling their help after Misla entered her coma.
It had been hard, but everyone pulled their weight and they were able to live happily.
Kuisha failed to hear and see the door moving as she gripped it, only for it to slam her to the ground, destroying the food and supplies she bought, as everyone in the peerage (Minus Sairaorg) and the wolves ran over the door and started chasing the wolves around the yard.
All froze as Kuisha's magic seeped from under the door.
"Do. You. Know?" She asked slowly as she pushed the door off of her, sending it flying as she stood up, covered in dirt, tomato sauce, egg white, egg yolk, flour, and all types of other food. "HOW MUCH ALL OF THIS COST!"
Everyone of the offender's butts would feel the sting of Kuisha's wrath, and all would remember to never piss her off again.
Evening, Phenex House, Kuroka's room…
Kuroka moaned, her legs losing their feeling as pleasurable sensations shot through her body as Naruto lapped at her clit with his tongue, his index and middle finger inside her moist pussy with his thumb gently pressing her clit every few seconds.
Their clothes lay on Kuroka's bedroom floor, erratically spread across it as they had been making out as they had undressed.
It was late at night, and everyone was asleep, so Kuroka put up silencing seals around her room before they continued to swap spit before Kuroka hit the bed and Naruto started eating her out.
"Na-ru…" Kuroka moaned as she wrapped her legs around his head, pulling him in. "SO, goo~d, nya."
Naruto pulled his fingers out of Kuroka, making her moan in disapproval, but was happy to feel a weight on her stomach.
Naruto had sat on her as he groped her massive sweaty breasts, making her nipples stick out before he leaned in, his dick poking into her stomach, and sucked on them.
Kuroka's back arched as her pleasure increased several times as she pressed her hand against her clit and started masturbating, her fluid coating her fingers.
"Kiss…" Kuroka panted.
She was silenced by Naruto's lips, his tongue entering her mouth, lapping against hers as he roughly groped her body.
Kuroka, not wanting to be the only one to orgasm, took her fluid covered hand and grabbed Naruto's dick, and started jerking him off with her cum as lubricant as she used her other hand to keep rubbing her clit.
Naruto gasped, having never been jerked off by Kuroka before.
"Shit…" he gasped, his sweat pouring from his body as she squeezed him, loosening it incrementally to find the best pressure.
Kuroka could tell he was close, and so was she for that matter.
"Little Maelstrom." Kuroka said as she pulled back, saliva dripping from their mouths as they separated before she pushed him onto his back.
Naruto felt his dick get enveloped by her mouth as Kuroka continued to rub her clit, her eyes glazed over in lust as she sucked him off.
Her tails swayed excitedly as she neared her climax, maximizing her efforts to get Naruto off.
A lightbulb went off above her head and she stuffed her fingers as deep into her wet lower lips as possible, making her dangerously close to climaxing.
She pulled her fingers out and flipped over again, Naruto above her as she swirled her tongue around his dick.
Naruto pumped into Kuroka's mouth, touching her throat slightly.
He felt her hand grab his butt.
'What…' He thought hazily, before he felt something slippering enter his ass, making him stiffen.
'Now!' Kuroka thought as she pulled her finger out, hitting the nerve in him, making him orgasm at the gap between her mouth and throat, sending his jizz straight to her stomach while she pinched her clit, making herself cum on the bed, drenching it.
Naruto shook as he removed himself from Kuroka's warm mouth with a 'Pop' sound and her saliva covering him.
"Don't… Never…" Naruto said as he lay on the bed, his ass sore.
Kuroka heard him while she took deep breathes.
"Sorry…" She purred as she moved to lay on her side. "But it worked, nya. So, next time, I'll use something better than my natural lubricant, nya. Okay, Little Maelstrom?"
Naruto was to tired to respond as he felt Kuroka pull him into her naked and sweaty body.
Kuroka smiled as she fell asleep, feeling her tails wrap around Naruto's.
She kissed his head, and then fell asleep.
Next Day, Mall…
Rossweisse, borrowing some of Kuroka's casual clothing (Jeans and a short sleeve shirt), was in awe as she and Kuroka walked through the clothing store.
"Wow, this is so different from Valhalla." Rossweisse gasped at the different styles of clothing. "Oh, this is cute."
"Hey, nya." Kuroka said cheekily as she had her hands behind her.
She wore a short skirt and a slightly revealing tank top. One pocket was bugling with money she stole… Ahem, with money that Ravel graciously gave her for Rossweisse's clothes.
"What?" Rossweisse asked nervously.
Kuroka's smile grew as she pulled out a lingerie set.
It was white lace with gray inlay and teal edges.
"I think it matches your hair and eyes, nya." Kuroka laughed as Rossweisse became red and started shaking her head.
"No, I can't wear that." Rossweisse stated quite loudly, drawing attention of other customers.
"Well, it's the first date, so you have a point, nya." Kuroka murmured as she put the lingerie away. "Next time, nya."
She and Rossweisse went through some more clothing.
"Okay, what is on your mind, nya?" Kuroka asked as she had noticed the subtle glances Rossweisse was giving her.
"Well…" Rossweisse said nervously as she twiddled her thumbs together. "I have never done anything like this before, so I don't know what to expect."
"Oh, that is…" Kuroka stopped. 'Nah, I'm not going to poke fun.'
Kuroka reached over and patted Rossweisse's shoulder.
"No worries, Naruto will take good care of you tonight, nya." Kuroka said with an encouraging grin.
For the first time, Rossweisse felt at ease around Kuroka.
She blinked before she reached over and pulled out a set of clothing that she liked.
Meanwhile…
Naruto was walking Fenrir, Ameyuri, and Gilga alone.
He yawned, getting their attention.
"Young Master, is something wrong?" Fenrir asked in concern as he quirked an eyebrow.
"Don't worry about it, I was up late last night." Naruto lied as he wiped an eye. "Now don't talk Fenrir, you could scare someone."
Well, he did stay up late, but that wasn't the reason why he was so exhausted.
Upon arriving at the dog park, Naruto let Ameyuri and Gilga off their leashes to play with the other pups and dogs while he sat at the bench with Fenrir sitting next to him, his eyes on the grim.
Naruto's eyes were heavy, and his head nodded before he fell asleep on the bench.
Dream…
Naruto was with his peerage family, smiling, as they attended a festival.
Misla holding his hand as she led him to a small game.
"Darn, granny, I can't get this… granny?" Naruto asked as he looked around, strangely not seeing anyone around him.
The environment shifted dramatically until all was dark except a single spot light on him.
"I am alone." Naruto stated as he looked around.
He suddenly felt claustrophobic.
He felt suffocated as his heart started to race as he realized what he said.
Naruto took off running as fast as he could, trying to find someone he knew in the large area devoid of people.
He caught someone's scent and followed it before his eyes widened as he saw Misla on the ground.
"GRANNY! Naruto shouted as he knelt down, jumping back when her head twisted one hundred and eighty degrees to look at him.
"Why…" She begged, tears streaming down her face. "Why didn't you save me?'
Naruto felt sick and his throat was dry as he swallowed the lump in it.
"Granny, I'm sorry, but it tried…" Naruto struggled to answer before Misla vanished.
"Naruto…"
He turned and saw Sairaorg and Kuisha.
The looks of disappointment they held on their faces made Naruto's heart drop as they turned.
"Where are we going?" Naruto asked as he stood up to follow.
"We are leaving." Kuisha stated. "But you are staying here."
Ever fiber in Naruto's body froze.
"Ha…haha… funny." Naruto nervously laughed as he took a step, but didn't move a single inch.
He watched as Sairaorg and Kuisha kept walking away.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted as he took off in a sprint, still not moving despite his legs clearly moving.
Sairaorg and Kuisha vanished.
Naruto stopped.
He was alone.
His breathing was deep and erratic as the feeling of loneliness sunk in.
Naruto crouched in the fetal position, eyes closed shut.
"Little Maelstrom."
'Mom?'
"Naruto."
'Master.'
He didn't open his eyes. He couldn't face them. He couldn't bear to see their faces in fear of being alone.
He gripped his head and let out a scream.
End Dream…
Naruto's eyes snapped open, his heart beat in his ears.
"Young Master?" Fenrir whispered, drawing Naruto to look up.
He was no longer sitting on the bench.
'I fell?' Naruto thought as he noticed Ameyuri, Gilga, and other dogs with their owners there wondering if he was okay.
"I'm fine, just fell in my sleep I guess." Naruto laughed as he got up, embarrassed.
However, he didn't stop think about his dream, causing him to clench his fists.
"Young Master." Fenrir murmured as he nudged Naruto's hand.
Naruto felt his heart lift at this and he ran his hand over Fenrir's head.
"Thank you." He said while he stood up, stretching. "Sorry for worrying you."
"It is alright, young master." Fenrir replied as he motioned for the pups that it was time to go home. "If you need to talk, you always have me."
Naruto nodded as he hooked the pups to their leashes.
He walked absent mindedly through Kuoh before he caught Issei and Asia's scent.
He looked up and saw the two walking towards him.
"Hey, Issei, Asia!" Naruto called out, waving at them to get their attention.
Upon hearing their names, they looked up and saw Naruto.
"Hey, how you been?" Issei asked Naruto as he high fived Naruto while the grim waddled over to Asia and received affection from her while Fenrir sat on his haunches like a proud older sibling.
"Oh, same old, same old." Naruto said with a roll of the eyes and shrug of his shoulders. "Just returning home from the dog park. What about you?"
"We are going shopping." Asia answered as she received licks from the grim. "We ran out of food last night, so we are restocking."
Naruto opened his mouth, but didn't say anything as he felt someone familiar closing in on them.
And they smelled like snakes.
"Hello, Asia."
Asia and Issei turned to see Diodora standing behind them, his soft smile adorning his face.
Fenrir could tell Naruto was on edge and he growled.
"Come now, I am not here to start trouble." Diodora said innocently, his hands put up in surrender. "I just… want to talk to you."
Chapter 45, DONE!
Yeah, I had a lime, didn't want to lose my touch.
I wonder what is going on with Naruto, and now Diodora is appearing before Issei, Asia, and Naruto.
Anyway, if you liked it, please leave a review, and if you didn't like any part of it, let me know so I can do better.
Also, if you want to read some of my other stories, I suggest Sage of Legend and My Snapped Academia.
