Sunlight bled through the drawn curtains, illuminating the dark room. Naruto groaned as he stirred from his slumber.
Sitting up from his bed Naruto stretched as he yawned, he looked at his alarm clock and groaned at the time, 6:45 am, no wonder he was so tired, Naruto never usually got up until the early afternoon.
'Uuhhh Gotta get ready for Rias'.
Throwing off the covers he stood and walked out of his room and headed towards the shower, entering the room he flicked the lights on and instantly turned them back off 'Too bright' he thought as went over and turned on the water.
Entering the shower Naruto closed his eyes as he felt the warm water wash over his form, his body visibly relaxed from the sensation, he took a moment just to enjoy the feeling from the water.
'Haa this is nice' he thought.
"You can say that again boss".
"I know it's great right!".
It took Naruto a solid ten seconds to realise that a dark and deranged voice had spoken out to him, and not the other voice that he had been hearing in his head over the past two days.
Opening his eyes he looked around the bathroom, trying to figure out where the voice had come from.
"Hello?".
"Ello" it replied.
Naruto blinked, he really hadn't expected a response from his open hello.
"Umm?"
"Down here" It informed.
Looking down in front of him, he was very, very surprised to see a skinny dark grayed skinned goblin-like creature that was roughly about 3ft tall, it had pointed elf like ears and large razor sharp teeth that completely filled its mouth, its eyes glowed a bright unholy green. It wore nothing other than thin dirty brown loincloth.
It was also in the shower with him!
It gave him a lopsided grin as it raised it's 4 finger clawed hand and gave him a wave.
"Good to meet ya boss".
"JESUS-FUCK!" Naruto screamed out in surprise and pain, falling to his ass he quickly tried to back away, far away from the demon goblin thing.
His back hit against the cold tiled wall, the demon crawled towards him, grinning like Cheshire Cat.
"I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I'm the first darkling you've met" it asked.
What the fuck is a darkilng?!
"You have no idea what's going on, do you?" The now identified Darkling asked.
Naruto with wide eyes, slowly shook his head in the negative.
"Fuuuck you really don't know what's going on!, the Darkness really likes to toy with the host in the beginning" It shrugged as it spoke.
'The Darkness? The host?' He thought.
The Darkling was almost upon him before it stopped it's approach.
"You don't even know what you are?! Or what the Darkness even is?!" It shouted out in disbelief.
"Ar-Are you reading my mind?" He asked fearfully.
The Darkling jumped on and stuck to the wall behind him, it tapped its clawed finger against his head.
"I came from your noggin! Everything I am is because of you, and you can call me Dra-" The darkling was cut off when the lights flared to life, illuminating the room in brightness, the darkling combusted in a plum of black smoke that quickly dissipated.
"Naruto? What's going on and why are you on the floor?" Naruto looked toward the door to see a sleepy eyed Mio with her hair down, who was in her pink pyjamas, rubbing her eyes as she entered.
"I-I have no idea" He said shakenly.
Mio finished rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and could now clearly see Naruto's state of dress or rather lack of, her face exploded in a bright red blush at his form.
"P-P-PERVERT!" She screamed at him and began throwing all kinds of objects at him, from bars of soap to wash tubs.
"OW MIO- OW- STO- OW!" Naruto tried to shield himself from Mio's assault, when he longer felt objects hitting him, he looked up just in time to see Mio drive her foot directly into his stomach "GAHAA!" Mio repeated the strike again.
And again, and again, and again.
When she finally finished her assault, Naruto was nothing more than crippled, gasping pile of flesh clutching his stomach pain.
Mio glared at his fallen form, her burning blush still present "If you ever flash me again I'll kill you! I'll kill you a hundred times over!" She screamed and stormed out of the bathroom, slamming the door closed.
"...But you walked in on me" He gasped out weakly, no that she heard him.
Hearing the bedroom door that she and Maria were using slam closed, Naruto weakly got up to finish his shower, even after that humiliating beating there was only one thought that plagued his mind.
'Was that demon goblin real?' He thought to himself as went back into the shower.
This time he left the lights on.
After finishing his shower he retreated back into his room, avoiding Mio and Maria's room as he did so.
He stood in front of the long mirror in his room, dressed in the Koah uniform but with his own little twist, he had left his white button shirt open showing an orange t-shirt.
Currently he was trying to decide if should wear his orange headband, he loved it but it didn't seem to go with the uniform.
"You clean up well Naruto-sama" he turned to see Maria standing in his door farm, she wasn't wearing the risky clothing from yesterday but rather a black and white gothic Lolita dress.
"Thanks, you too," he said genuinely.
"But don't wear the headband, it ruins the overall look".
Nodding gratefully at her advice he placed the headband on top of his cabinet "Rias should be here shortly, don't suppose you have any advice?" Naruto asked.
"Advice? Advice about what?" Maria asked with a tilt of her head.
"You know...like school life, how to act and stuff?" He asked slightly flushed.
Maria blinked, then she grinned slyly "Ara, are you nervous about your first day Naruto-Sama?" She said as she slowly stalked towards him, Naruto began backing away from her hesitantly.
Naruto's legs hit against his bed, causing him to fall backwards onto the bed butt first, Maria didn't stop approaching though, she crawled onto his lap and pushed his back to the bed.
Maria wiggled her rear against his crotch as leaned over him, her face inches away from his, "Would you like a massage to ease your stress Naruto-sama? I promise to rub all the right places…" she whispered seductively.
Naruto's face was burning brighter than the sun at this point, he never expected the petite girl to be so...alluring. He couldn't lie, the feeling of her small rear grinding against his lap felt really, really good! He could see her flushed face grinning down at him with her purple eyes narrowed playfully.
"Of course I wouldn't object if you wanted to return the favour…" she said as her hands pressed against his chest, she could feel his pounding heartbeat through his slightly toned chest, which made her enjoy this feeling of power over him even more.
'...Just a little more' Maria thought as she licked her lips in excitement, her hands slowly trailed down his torso towards the hem of his pants.
She was so focused on her little game that she didn't see Naruto raising his hand above her.
"ITA!" Naruto karate chopped her right in the middle of her head, with enough force to send her to the floor cradling her head "Mou~ That hurt Naruto-sama!" She whined while nursing her injury.
While rubbing her head, Maria looked up with watery eyes and promptly gulped, Naruto stood over her, his blushing glare directed at her as the vain on his head pulsed angrily.
"You're pushing your luck Ero-chibi" Naruto growled as he cracked his knuckles, Maria began silently praying to whatever demon divinity there was to save her!
"Naruto?" They heard Rias call from the front room, That was all Maria needed to escape from the blonds rath.
She bolted out of the room before Naruto could even register what had happened, The blond walked out of his room to see Rias standing by near the entrance.
Holding another box!.
"Good morning!" Rias greeted.
"Hey Rias, um what the box? Don't tell me you got me another uniform" He laughed.
"Well it is a new uniform but don't worry, something tells me you wouldn't want to wear this uniform" Rias said as she eyed the very person she intended to give the gift too.
Mio had just left her room still wearing her pj's, she quickly took notice of the devil in the room "Rias-Sama!" Mio quickly went to bow but Rias held up her hand.
"Ah ah ah! From now on it's going to be 'Rias-senpai', here" Rias handed Mio the box, Mio hesitantly opened the box and pulled out the same uniform Rias was wearing.
"I-I don't understand? What's going on?" Mio questioned.
"What's going on is that you have ten minutes to put that uniform on and get ready, because as of today you are a first year at Kouh Academy" Rias informed.
"...PFFFT-AHAHAHAHH!" Naruto burst out laughing while pointing to Mio's bewildered face, who in turn shot him with a death glare.
While the vein on her head throbbed, Mio turned her attention back to Rias "But why? Not that I'm ungrateful or anything, but...why?".
"Well in truth, by having you go to the same school as us, it makes keeping track of you easier, and also it was something that Maria-san said yesterday" Rias told which caused Mio to blink and for Naruto to stop his laughing, Rias folded her arms and closed her eyes as she explained. "She said until recently, you had thought you were a full blooded human, meaning you have lived your life like every other human girl on this planet, with how new you are to the supernatural I thought having you go to the same school as us would be comforting for you, to have a break from what you are now, to who you were before" Rias finished as she opened her eyes.
Only to blink at the sight of Mio, who was clutching the corset of the uniform while tears streamed down her face, Rias was slightly startled when the smaller redhead ran up and threw her arms around her.
"Thank you…thank you...thank you" Mio's mumbled voice came from her buzzom.
Rias smiled sympathetically as she petted the younger girl's head "Your welcome".
It was a very touching moment for anyone to witness.
...Sniff / Sniff…
Both redhead's turned to see both Maria and Naruto standing off to the side, blowing their noses with tissues while crying as they wept over the duo.
"Mio-Sama…such a heartfelt, youthful moment with your senpai…I couldn't be happier for you!" Maria wailed out with mini geysers coming out of her eyes.
"Damn it...that shit was beautiful…'insert nose blowing'" Naruto sniffed out as he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.
Mio's face twisted from tears to rage as she became bright red, almost to the point where you could practically see the steam coming off her, grabbing an empty soda can she threw it, and nailed Naruto dead in the face, an audible thud was heard along with a "Fuck my face!", Mio stomped towards a scared Maria and dragged her into their room while shouting "BAKA!" At Naruto.
"Why did you only hit me?" He called out weakly while Rias giggled at his predicament.
"It's quite lively here, isn't it" She asked.
"That's your fault" as he pinched his nose.
Giggling at her servant, Rias sat down on the old couch and gestured to him to sit next to her "Come here, let me take a look at you" Naruto shrugged as he sat down next to her.
"Come on let me see" doing as he was told, he moved his hand away for Rias to see.
"Hmm nothing broken just a little bit of blood, I'll fix you up" Rias cupped his cheek and a soft red glow spread over her palm.
"Humph" the soothing glow made him relax to the point he closed his eyes to enjoy the feeling of her magic.
As she was healing him, Rias took the time to look around Naruto's apartment. Last night she didn't take notice of the surrounding environment due to finding Naruto with the two strange hybrids, but now that she was actually looking at his place.
It was a dump.
She would have to fix that.
She turned back to Naruto and cut the flow of magic "All done".
When he opened his eyes he found himself staring straight into Rias teal orbs and she into his ocean blues.
Even though he was holding eye contact, he could still see her whole face, her beautiful crimson hair, her delicious coloured light pink lips, her cute little button nose 'She's beautiful'.
While Rias was in a similar position as him, she could see his bright golden spiky blond hair, his strong jawline that seemed to have no fat hidden anywhere, his jaggard whisker like scars lines that made him look quite eccentric and cute 'He is pretty handsome'.
"Are we interrupting something?".
They turned to see Mio dressed in her uniform with Maria, who had a giant bump on her head most likely from Mio, stood staring at their little exchange.
Rias withdrew her hand from his cheek and stood up while straightening her skirt "Not at all, are we ready to go?" She asked.
Mio's gaze shifted between the two before she nodded slowly, while Naruto stood up with a wide grin "Let's do this!".
Time skip
Scene change
"Let's not do this!"
As the four approached the school gates, Naruto had been getting increasingly nervous as they drawed near the educational hell pit.
"Stop being a baby" Mio chided at him while she walked with confidence.
"Easy for you to say! This school stuff natural for you, I haven't been to school since I was like 8" he rebutted nervously.
Entering the grounds they could hear all the students present whispering among themselves.
"It's Gremory-Sama!".
"She's as beautiful as always!".
"Who is that guy with her?".
"Kiba-San?"
"Naa that ain't him".
"Who cares about him, look at her!"
"She kind of looks like Gremory-Senpai!"
"A sister?!"
"OMG look at the little one"
"She's super cute"
"She's like a loli maid!"
Rias and Mio seemed not to take notice of the comments, while Maria looked like she was enjoying all the attention she was getting from the students, going by the way she purposely made her dress bounce in the wind to show off her petite legs.
...AlL tHiS uSeLeSs FlEsH…
Naruto blinked, he had honestly forgotten about the voice in his head.
"Oh hey, where have you been?" He whispered quietly.
...OnE, yOu DoN't NeEd To SpEaK oUt LoUd To TaLk To Me, JuSt ThInK iT...AnD tWo, I hAvE bEeN wHeRe I aLWaYs BeEn, WiTh YoU…
'Ah My bad' he thought back to it.
...Be PrEpArEd, OvEr ThE NeXt FeW dAy'S YoUr BoDy Is GoInG tO gO tHrOuGh SoMe...UnCoMfOrTaBlE ExPeRiEnCeS iN oDeR tO pRePaRe ItSeLf fOr My PoWeR'S…
'What kind of uncomfortable experiences?' The entity chuckled darkly at his question.
...YoU'lL sEe… He felt the dark presence fading away.
"Naruto?" He heard Rias call.
Refocusing, he could see the three girls staring at him curiously.
"Hmm?"
"You've been standing there spacing out for a while, are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah! I'm just a little nervous, that's all hehah..."
Rias closed the distance between them and cupped his cheek, they heard the surrounding students gasp at them while being unaware of Mio's uncomfortable expression at their interaction,Naruto blushed slightly at her open display of affection.
"You have nothing to be nervous about, you'll have me and your fellow servants to help you adjust to school life, plus you've already been in two life threatening situations in the past two days alone, compared to that this will be a cake walk for you" She finished as she removed her hand and gestured him to follow her over to the others.
"Now then…" Rias said as she handed both Mio and Naruto a sheet of paper, "This here is your schedule, this is what you'll be using to know your weekly school classes and activities, Naruto you are in class 2-C. I was going to put you in either Issei's or Yuuto's classes but I think it would be better for you to have a little time for yourself from devil life". She finished as he looked over his schedule.
"This says I have home room?".
"That's right, pretty much all of your classes will take place in this one room other than P.E and Club activities, speaking of which you two are already signed up to the Occult Club so don't go trying to join up with another".
Naruto and Mio nodded, Mio had already expected Rias to do something to keep her close.
"Mio-chan…" she started, catching said girl's attention, "I have placed you in a class with a member of my peerage to keep an eye on you, her name is Koneko and she will help you adjust to the school".
"H-Hai…".
"And finally you, Maria-san…" Rias stared down at the short lolita "You are free to do as you wish, but you are not to interfere with their classes, in fact during school hours you are not allowed on the school premises unless it's an emergency, am I understood" Rias ordered as she left no room for debate.
"As you wish, Rias-sama" Maria nodded in acceptance.
Rias smiled, "Now then-" she was cut off by the arrival of her other new servant.
"BOUCHO! NARUTO-SAN!" Issie shouted as he ran up to them, while waving.
"Yo, kid!" Naruto greeted.
"Issei, perfect timing" Rias said.
"Eh? Perfect timing for wha-" Issie was cut short when he saw the other two.
And by the other two, he meant the two new breasticals that were attached to the other redhead present.
A lecherous grin formed on his face while his nostrils blew steam out at the younger girl's sexy figure.
Mio, feeling his perverted gaze hid behind Naruto while clutching his arm.
Naruto, assuming she was just nervous of him, decided to introduce them "Ah Issei this is Mio and Maria, girl's this is Issei the one responsible for me ending up as a devil".
"Naruto-San! You didn't have to make it sound like it was my fault!"
Even though it totally was…
"Issei, could you show Naruto where class 2-C is?" Rias asked.
"I-I guess so?".
"Lead the way kid" Naruto said as the two began to walk away.
"We're the same age you blond bastard!".
"What did you call me you pervy asshole!?"
The three watched as the two entered the building, their shouting growing fainter the further they went.
"I'll be going as well, have a good day Mio-Sama, Rias-sama" Maria said while the two nodded.
"Thank you Maria" Mio said as she and Rias watched Maria leave the grounds.
"Come along Mio, I'll show you where your class is" Mio nodded and followed Rias into the building.
As they were walking Rias spoke "Mio-Chan, let me give you some advice…".
Scene change
With Naruto and Issei
"I can't believe you're making such a big deal out of this, perv"
"Being called a kid by a guy who's the same age as me is degrading, that's what the big deal is Naruto-san!"
The two had kept arguing right up until the point they had reached Naruto's classroom.
"Here, this is your classroom, mine is the next room up, Class 2-B" Issei said as he pointed over to sign above his own class "Well see ya" Issei turned to leave but Naruto grabbed his shoulder.
"W-Wait! What am I supposed to do?".
"Huh? Just knock on the door and the sensei will invite you in, they will probably ask you to introduce yourself to the class".
Naruto nodded nervously "Great, hey um.. would it be alright if we hung out at lunch? You guys are pretty much the only people I know at this school" he asked while scratching his cheek.
Issei stared at Naruto for a moment "Sure? You can meet my buds, although that might kill any chance you have at finding a girlfriend in this place, want me to meet you outside of class?".
Naruto blinked at his comment but smiled gratefully "Thanks and sure".
"Good luck in there" Issei said as he walked towards his own class while waving.
Once Issei was out of sight Naruto took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
"Hai?" Came a masculine voice from beyond the door.
Opening the door Naruto could see the teacher by the blackboard looking at him, while all the students stared at him also.
"Ahh! I forgot we had a new transfer student today! My apologies young man, please come in and introduce yourself" the teacher said welcomingly.
Nodding Naruto walked in and stood directly in front of the class, with everyone staring at him, he could feel his nervous heartbeat pounding in his chest.
...ThEy ArE nOtHiNg BuT cAtTeL…
Even though the voice's comment was cruel, its words actually helped Naruto calm his nervousness.
"Y-Yo!" Naruto shouted with slight hesitation, trying to have an upbeat tone to his voice. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I like ramen, having fun and hanging out with my friends, I'm new here and hope we can all get along!".
To end his declaration, he made sure to give everyone a thumbs up and a winning smile.
For a moment there was complete silence, had he messed up? Had his new found confidence completely ruined any chance of having a normal school life?
He got his answer.
Almost all of the girls clapped their hands with heart in their eyes after looking at the cheerful handsome blond. Some of the guys actually smiled back at him for his friendliness, rather than glaring at him for being another pretty boy.
"Wow! He looks so wild and handsome! I think he's on par with Kiba-kun!"
"On par?! No way this guy is ticking way more box's for me than Kiba-kun!".
"Damn it! another blond prince here to steal all the girls away!"
"I don't know man, this guy seems alright"
Naruto felt himself relax, at least his classmates seemed to accept him".
"Alright everyone quiet down! Uzumaki-san, why don't you sit over… there! Take that seat behind Nonaka-san near the window?" His teacher said while pointing over to the empty desk.
"Hai" nodding as he walked over to the empty desk, the girl he was directed to go to, who was one of the few who didn't clap at his introduction, was wearing the typical female uniform of Kuoh Academy and was quite the pretty girl.
It wasn't even something he noted out of admiration, it was simply a fact.
She had neck-length light blue hair with a braid on the right side of her face and a white headband to keep her hair in order, despite the fact that she had an 'ahoge' on the crown of her head.
Her vivid yellow eyes, framed by the soft features on her face, locked onto him as he was making his way towards her.
The girl, Nonaka was her name, nodded to him in acknowledgement as he passed her and sat in the seat behind her.
First impression; a nice person.
Awesome.
"Now then Uzumaki-san, at the moment we are currently going through Japanese history, so just pay attention, write down whatever is on the board and feel free to raise your hand if you have any questions or need anything, there is also a spare notebook and pens in your desk if you need it" his sensual said to which he received a grateful nod from the blond.
When Naruto lifted his desk lid open, he expected to see a notebook with a few pens and pencils rolling around in there.
What he didn't expect to see was the grinning face of the demon goblin from this morning!
"Ello Monkey, remember me?"
BAM!!!
"OWW! YOU WANKER!" Came it's muffled pained grunts from the desk lid slamming closed on its face.
"Uzumaki-san?" Naruto looked up in panic to see his teacher and classmate staring at him curiously, "Is everything alright?".
"Y-Yeah sorry sensei, lost my grip there for a second heh heh…"He lied while scratching the back of his head nervously.
The teacher stared at him for a moment before turning his attention back to the board, his classmates doing the same.
All except one.
Nonaka-san was still staring at him, eyeing him up and down for a moment, before she returned her focus back to the lesson at hand.
Naruto sighed when she took her attention off him, slowly he lifted the desk once again, only this time to find the goblin gone and his notebook and pens to be the only thing in there.
He released a breath he didn't know he was holding in relief, grateful to not see that thing in his desk a second time.
Grabbing what he needed from his desk, he closed the lid and started listening to his teacher.
"Naruto-san, you ready?" Issei asked while walking into the classroom, only for his expression to shift pure shock at his fellow devil.
Naruto's form was completely white with dark cracks around his body with a deathly aura radiating from him while steam drifted from his head "Dude! What the hell happened to you?!".
"So...So boring..." he mumbled out while drooling.
Issei being Issei knew there was only one cure that could save his new friend " Quick come with me!" He dragged Naruto's defeated form out of his class room to where he knew the blond would get all the help he needed.
It was quite the spectacle for the students of Kuoh academy to witness one of the perverted trio dragging the new hot blond transfer student around the school like a balloon in the wind.
Once they were outside Issei took him behind one of the buildings he was very familiar with.
"Quick look through this hole" Issei whispered in giddiness to his friend while looking around for danger.
"B-Boring…" Not good! The blond's mind was mush and nonfunctioning.
"Grrr You better appreciate this you teme" Grabbing his head, Issei lined up Naruto's left eye to the opening of the hole.
Naruto had no idea where he was, the last thing he could remember was his sensei talking about the Sengoku warlords before passing out from boredom, with his conciseness returning he could have sworn that he could hear Issei's voice telling him to do something.
He blinked, the light from inside the hole was clearing and and his vision focussing.
Now, Issei had intended for Naruto to see the beautiful bouncing bazongas to settle his tormented soul.
That was NOT what Naruto saw…
Corpses... Rotting walking corpses covered in dark dirty blood, most were missing limbs, some had their stomachs gouged open and while others looked like they had fought a T-Rex and lost, he recognised most of the faces as his new classmates as their dead beings stumbled around the room.
Naruto felt himself choke on his own breath as he stared through the hole at the mutilated bodies stalking around the room, his body frozen from fear.
As he was staring, an eye, an unmoving lifeless white eye suddenly appeared in the hole, staring straight back at him, unblinking.
"AHH! AHH!" He scrambled backwards away from the peephole while screaming out in horror.
"Dude!? Naruto what's wrong!?" Naruto turned to look at Issei only to start screaming again when he saw that Issei was missing the upper right side of his head, Naruto could see the inside of Issei's blood soaked skull including his rotting brain.
His dead friend stalked towards with his arms raised up while groaning "Stop! Get away from me!" Naruto begged as the corpse closed the distance between them.
"Dude shut up! You're gonna get us caught!" Issei begged his friend, unknown to him but Naruto couldn't hear him speaking, to him Issei was just making groaning noises.
"I SAID FUCK OFF!" Issei was thrown backwards when Naruto slugged him right across his face.
Now a normal, regular human could never send someone flying with just a punch, but Naruto was a newly reincarnated devil like him and was beyond terrified at the moment.
So what do you get when you add newly found devil strength together with absolutely terror?.
The answer?... One hell of a right hook.
"MY FACE!" Issei rolled around the ground comically while cradling his face.
Unknown to the two, the girls of the Kendo club, which happened to be the club that Issei was trying to get Naruto to peep on, had overheard the commotion and had arrived just in time to see the blond punch the resident pervert in the face.
"KYA! Uzumaki-kun just punched that pervert into next week!"
"Hit him again Naruto-Sama!"
"Beat his pervy ass!"
"Save us from Hyoudou's perverted gaze like the knight you are Uzumaki-kun!"
The two boys, hearing the commotion, turned to see the Kendo girl's cheering at Naruto for his actions. Issei developed a tick mark on his head while shouting "Oi!" at their reaction.
Naruto on the other hand didn't see the Kendo club or hear their comments, he only saw more multilayer bodies and only heard groaning and gasping from them.
"Stay away from me!" Naruto sprinted as fast as he could from them, leaving the girls in confusion while Issei called out for him to stop.
"Oi Uzumaki! How's it go- hey man what's your problem?"
"Ahh~ Naruto-san, how are yo- Ita!"
"Uzumaki-kun? Is everything- OOF!"
Naruto didn't hear a single word said to him as he ran past and bumped into the groaning corpses.
The events of the day eventually caught up to his physical being. Exhaustion caught up to him as he stopped in the middle of the school's courtyard, supporting himself on his knees as he felt his lungs burning from all the panicked running.
He didn't understand what was going on, hell he couldn't! His mind was going a mile a minute trying to figure it out?
Had zombies taken over the earth? Was it like that western tv show? Or was it like that anime from a long time ago? He didn't know but one thing was for sure, he was in serious danger!
"Uuuuuhhhhh".
"Uuuurrrrhhh".
Hearing groaning Naruto looked up and his terror tripled, the corpses were starting to surround him, trapping him in a circle of death. He needed something! A weapon of some kind, he looked around frantically trying to find...anything! His eyes locked on to the metal bars from the school gate, forcing his body to move towards the gate, Naruto grabbed on to one of the metal pole and pulled, hard!, the metal creaked from the force as it was ripped from its place.
He could feel his heart hammering in his chest, his breaths becoming shallower and short, he felt light headed, his body becoming sluggish and unsteady.
It felt like they were watching him, waiting for their chance to take him down, hearing the sound of footsteps behind, he turned to see a short zombie girl with short black hair and red glasses, her left eye dangling out of its socket. The dead girl was taking small and slow steps towards him while groaning.
"GET BACK!" He screamed in panic as he swung the metal bar like a bat, threateningly "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!".
Babump,Babump,Babump
It stopped, as if it was listening to his request it slowly started backing away from him.
"Naruto?" Actually hearing words instead of groaning, he turned around to see Mio standing a few feet in front of him looking at him, her pink eyes filled with worry and concern "What's going on?".
"MIO!?" Mio was here! Thank god 'ow' she was safe! "QUICK GET OVER HERE BEFORE THEY GET YOU!" Naruto pleaded with her.
"...W-What are you talking about? Before who gets me?" She asked, her tone filled with concern.
"THEM!" He spread his arms, gesturing around him "DO YOU NOT SEE THE ZOMBIES AROUND US?!"
Mio stared at him unnerved at his display "...what zombies?! There are no zombies here!" She screamed at him.
Naruto's expression became a lot more unhinged, bordering insane like "LOOK AROUND MIO! EVERYONE IS DEAD AND THEIR GOING TO KILL US!"
Mio started walking towards him slowly, showing no signs of hostility "...No one is dead Naruto, everyone is ok" She said soothingly, trying to keep him calm.
"You need to listen to me, you need to calm down, no one is going to hurt us" Mio was slowly closing the distance between them, "Look around us, there are no zombies…"
His frantic eyes scanned the crowd around them, still seeing the dead face of his classmates.
"Everyone is ok…your ok..." bzzzt, static filled his vision causing him to blink, once his vision refocused he was startled to see his dead classmates gone and we're back to being alive, they were all looking at him with worry, concern, fear…
No, he couldn't just see their fear, he could feel it, in fact he could feel every negative emotion they had.
Fear
Anger
Jealousy
Lust
Hate
He could feel it all, even almost taste it, every dark, negative emotion. It was almost like a thick fog rolling off them.
His eyes scanned the crowd of his now living classmate, his eyes picked out his fellow devils and his master.
They were all looking at him with concern, especially Rias, he could see Akeno had practically restrained her from running to his side, even Issei was there looking normal again, except for a bloody nose.
His grip on the metal bar slackened, allowing it to hit the ground with an audible clang, an action that made Mio smile in relief, seeing her reassuring smile had a calming effect on him.
Babump Babump Babump Babump
"Good...that's it…" Mio was almost in front of him, reaching her hand out to him.
"Now…" Mio began as static filled his vision once more.
The Mio in front of him was gone and was replaced by something...else.
It was Mio, but it wasn't at the same time.
This Mio could only be described as wrong.
Her body was perfectly fine, but her face, oh god her face…
Her mouth had been ripped open to making it look like she had a Glasgow smile, stretching right up to her cheekbones, he could see the small streams of blood leaking out from the corners of her mouth, her eyes were gone, empty black voids stared back at him with crimson tears flowing out them, dripping down onto her clothes.
BZZZZZT!
Static filled his vision again, the torturing image of Mio still remained in front of him, but now everyone present looked similar to her.
Babump!Babump!Babump!Babump!
The dead Issei was back, while still missing part of his skull, Naruto could see that his left arm from the elbow down had been completely ripped off, leaving the insides of his arm completely visible.
The dead Kiba had been impaled with multiple steel pipes throughout his body, one looked like it had been forced through his right eye and out the back of his head.
The dead Koneko had been split down the middle, from the top of her head down to the middle of her stomach, making her look like a split bloody hotdog, the insides of her body visible for all to see as both the right and left sides of her body hung in opposite directions.
He looked at the dead Akeno, while she wasn't as mutilated as the others on the front of her body, it was on the other side that was horrifying to look at, her back had been sliced open, her broken and snapped ribs had been pulled back making it look like she had received the old Viking 'Blood Eagle' method.
The dead Rias looked like she had just walked out of a volcano, what remained of her burnt black flesh was hanging from her form, he could see what was left of her roasted hardened skin skin, if anyone who knew Rias saw her like this, they wouldn't know it was her, there would be no way for them to know who it was, all her features that made her recognisable as Rias were gone, all except one thing. A small patch of her crimson hair remained on the back of her head.
The nightmare Mio drawed his attention back, she was right in front him, her blood soaked hands reaching towards his face.
"...Come with me, Onii-chan".
BABUMP!BABUMP!BABUMP! BA-!
Naruto stumbled backwards from her, gripping at his chest where his heart was, a high pitched defend him, his vision darkened as he fell onto his back, he couldn't breath, it felt like he had a mountain sitting on his chest.
As his conciseness faded, through his darkling vision, he saw the nightmare Mio leaning over his form with the crimson liquid dripping on to his face.
Just as the darkness consumed him, the last thing he saw was the nightmare form being replaced by a terrified Mio, who looked like she was silently screaming with tears streaming down her face.
Line break
Silence.
That was what Naruto was greeted with as he stirred from his slumber, Blinking as he awoke, Naruto found himself staring at the familiar white tiles of the school infirmary's ceiling, the curtain had been pulled closed leaving the rooms only source of light coming from the bulbs.
"Finally awake I see" he heard from a feminine voice, he turned to see a stunningly attractive woman with sexy hip-length black hair that had bangs hanging on the right side of her face, sat at a desk with her right leg folded over her left. she had emerald coloured eyes, a mole under her left eye, red round glasses, one earring on her left ear and a voluptuous figure. Her breasts, dear god her breasts, they were huge, even bigger than Rias's and Mio's, maybe even Akeno's!.
She wore a green knitted turtleneck, a tight black mini-skirt along with her cross garter motif stockings, and a white lab coat.
Naruto blushed at the sight of the goddess before him "W-What happened?" He asked as he sat up from the bed.
The woman stared at him with little to no emotion, "A heart attack, Uzumaki".
"E-Eh?".
"You had a heart attack and collapsed in the school's courtyard, and then you were brought here to me, the school's nurse". She explained.
As she spoke, Had flashes of visions of what had happened before right up until the point he had passed out.
He looked to the nurse with worry embedded in his expression "Is everyone ok?! Is Mio alright?!".
"You should be more worried about yourself, it's not common for a healthy 17 year old boy to suffer from a heart attack, have you been doing anything strenuous? Or did something happen to you?" The nurse asked.
Naruto didn't know what to say, he couldn't say anything about the voice in his head, the darkling that kept stalking him or the fact that he had seen pretty much the whole school as walking corpses.
"U-um I have been feeling a bit stressed" he said in half truths.
The nurse stared at him, knowing full well that he wasn't telling her the whole truth "Is that so, well I recommend not pushing yourself too hard or you'll find yourself in an early grave, Uzumaki".
"I will, thank you...umm?"
For the first time since he had met her, the nurse smiled slightly "Hasegawa, Hasegawa Chisato".
"Thank you, Hasegawa-sensei" Naruto bowed slightly to her.
Chisato stood up from her chair and walked towards the door "Classes are over so get some rest, you can stay here until you're feeling better, but I recommend going home soon and getting a full night's sleep, maybe have something filling to eat, like ramen?" She said as she left the room, flicking off the lights as she did.
Naruto grinned, he liked his sensei's taste in food.
"Man, what a fine piece of ass she was, eh monkey?" Naruto's head spun back round to where his teacher had been sitting, to see the Darkling from before sitting the same way she had been, its eerie glowing green eyes stared at him in amusement.
"it's you again…" he said hesitantly.
"Well now that I'm finally able to appear without interruption…" the Darkling said before it jumped onto the metal frame of the bed.
"Why don't we finish our chat from this morning, eh boss?" The Darkling said as it grinned at him menacingly.
