Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
The group watched as Atalanta took the tablet but kept an eye on Rias, no doubt she wasn't able to let her guard down from what she pulled earlier. "I'll start…"
"So... this new student... he has a Sacred Gear?"
The group soon saw a familiar face on the screen, Sona Sitri, the follow Devil heiress like their president. The sight of her on the screen made them wonder who is talking to...well except for two members.
"Yes, my brother told me about it, and I assume that your sister told you about it. It's not hard to imagine their shock when they heard the name Uzumaki after several years." Rias Gremory, Devil, spoke as she sat naked across from her childhood friend. The two of them were using a sauna together in private, a sauna very few knew existed on school grounds.
"I thought so." Rias said to herself knowing Sona and her would discuss with her friend about Sacred Gears...naked in the sauna as usual.
Of course, she didn't know what Sacred Gear this Naruto Uzumaki had.
The Gremory heiress agrees with her counterpart, as no one has ever seen such a thing.
"Do you and the student council president do this often?" Issei asked as he ogled at the sight while his leader nodded with pride. Of course she did, and the skinship between girls promoted good trust and friendship.
She knew that her species, devils, had exterminated Naruto's entire clan from the face of Earth. It had been a rogue faction that had been wiped out by her brother for what they did, well those who resisted were wiped out and the ones who surrendered were allowed to be arrested. She knew much of what happened, it was when she was a baby but she heard stories of it growing up. A great injustice that had been done to a clan of savage human contradictions.
That caused them to gasp in shock, Rias looked conflicted at the thought. She had a hunch that indeed her own race might have been the ones to do it...even when it seemed likely she clung to a small truth if it wasn't. But sadly it is, rogue faction or not...her race caused Naruto life to spiral to hell.
"Yes, according to my sister... who met with Azazel of Grigori personally, he has a unique Sacred Gear that is active, despite him being unaware of his Sacred Gear. She was given no details about the Sacred Gear itself, other than the fact right now it is only activated in his sleep and by stress." Sona Sitri, Devil as well, spoke as she managed not to look jealously at her friend's massive rack, despite her own being quite pitiful in comparison she had no issues with her own appearance and was quite confident in her hips and rear end.
Though, Rias had her defeated in even those areas as well, but she didn't linger on the thought.
Sitting between them was a chess board and while they spoke, they played chess against each other.
Once again the group turn to Rias who blushed at their gaze, coughing into her hand she spoke, "We do a lot of stuff when we're alone."
"...phrasing." Koneko only said earning a snickering from the boys who caught that reference .
"Issei Hyoudou has a Sacred Gear... he peaked my interest when I made eye contact with him, and I felt something off about him. I had Koneko follow him, and she confirmed he has quite a powerful Sacred Gear inside of him as well." Rias discussed human like quite frankly, speaking of the boy not as a person, but as more of an object at the moment. She had no ties or relations to him, and there were multiple people in the school with Sacred Gears after all.
The others didn't say anything as their leader was often like this before recruiting others very cunning and sneaky. Issei chuckled as he felt honor when Rias was this serious about getting him now viewing this scene.
There were many special humans who attended Kuoh Academy for a special reason, Kuoh city was a natural attractant for the supernatural. It was a great spiritual point where those with potential for power naturally flocked, and Kuoh academy was a school that admitted humans with potential from all over the world. It had several exchange students from other countries, and other species as well.
About 10% of the school's students were special in that they were all candidates for her to bring into her Peerage of Devils.
"Wow that's alot…" Issei said as Kiba lifted a hand to deny this.
He pointed to himself and Issei, "Unlike us, you were the only member that joined the school. So really it's mostly for Sona's benefit that this 10% was mostly for her. Asia doesn't count as she joined the peerage before transferring to our school." He explained as the pervy brunette nodded.
"Oh? I see, so you will be making a move on him then?" Sona asked as she moved her Rook forward.
Her breasts did not jiggle, but Rias' did when she moved her Pawn forward one space.
"..." Koneko looked at Issei who gave her nod and gave a quick jab, most likely thinking of either her boobs or their more top heavy members.
"I leave that to Issei, I will make sure that he has a way to summon me. I plan on having my familiar give him a summoning circle, if he summons me or not is up to him completely. Still... Uzumaki... why were they wiped out, do you know? My brother never told me the why, just that it was horrible." Rias knew of the history of it, and she knew the propoganda of it all as well. She knew why many devils were split on if it was a good thing or not.
The peerage lost any humor and focused on the scene to a greater interest as Sona (from the screen) talked about the unfortunate boy.
The Uzumaki had several things going for their clan.
They had seemingly infinite lifeforce and magical power, each one possessed magical power that exceeded that of many beings who were in the Top 10 strongest. While they lived a long time for humans, the average Uzumaki living hundreds of years, they didn't live like devils who lived for many thousands. Their human bodies were what held them back, and while their massive life force slowed down their aging, they still suffered from it. They had natural healing abilities in their blood as well, Uzumaki blood could be sucked out and used to heal the wounds of other beings regardless of species thanks to their blood containing their life force.
Rias eyes widened at the stats and reasons that kinda make sense for them to be massacre, it was like they were raising gods. Its as if they were thinking that they people would just start a war if they so much as-
Still, they mostly stayed to themselves and didn't bother anyone, despite being naturally violent and easy to anger.
"...called it." Ok now it made sense to kill them...kinda. But the fact still remains that despite being humans it was like they were a separate race themselves with all these passive and powers they have.
"My sister said that the Uzumaki were unable to use their magical powers, but they developed weapons and seals that were immensely powerful. They were wiped out for fear that they would turn into a new faction... quite foolish to attack them and not make allies with them. Sealing and advanced magical weapons are quite the boon to any ally force." Sona was disgusted by the waste of an ally. If they shared their culture with the Uzumaki, became allies, then they could support each other.
Once again it was a flood of pain overwhelming the peerage when realizing while they lost a power allies but also someone who has to suffer even more from the many deaths of the clan.
If they ever went to war against Heaven and Fallen Angels again, then the Uzumaki could have been a turning point that allowed them to gain an overwhelming advantage. Not to mention eventually Devils and Uzumaki clan members would start to fall in love, have children, and birth superior offspring with the abilities of both.
A devil with Uzumaki blood.
"God~!" Rias rubbed her temples at the thought (and pain), forget marriage to her, if any of the Pillars had the option to have a child with Naruto it would be something like an all Pillar (what's left of them that is) Rating Game to see who gets first dibs. It was something like the stud horse who next generation guaranteed absolute speed and power that no other breed could reach.
All of that raw magical power of the Uzumaki, but with a devil's ability to use that power born into a single body. The result would be that every single devil born between such a union would be worthy of standing in the Top 10 by themselves. As more and more of such unions flourished, it would only be natural for them to be the species that claimed all 10 spots in the Top 10 strongest of the world.
"It's foolish, instead of killing them, our species should have welcomed them. Having powerful friends is a great thing, and while making powerful enemies is bad for us... according to my brother the Uzumaki were quite the loving clan." Rias shook her head in disappointment in her own people. Sure it was a rogue group of powerful devils that launched their surprise attacks on the Uzumaki to wipe them out, but that still reflected on them as a species for being the ones to wipe out a clan of special humans.
"Dammit…" Issei said as he felt another twist to the proverbial knife he was given in his heart/feels/balls. "I was hoping maybe some or most were jerks...but not more kind dudes like Naruto."
Those who actually valued purity of blood didn't seem to understand the inherit benefits of mixing their race with other races, and saw such beings as lesser. It made their species look like a bunch of racist fools who didn't, couldn't, see the bigger picture.
Akeno only felt pity for those fools who only saw power and genetics to believe power is all they can want...although it was ironic to think of it knowing what she really is.
"It doesn't help that both Angels and Fallen Angels are able to use our deadly weakness against us, even the many great fighters and Sacred Gear users we have, those two always seem to have a distinct advantage over us. This would have put us on equal footing to make a true treaty... the path to peace was destroyed out of fear and arrogance." Sona was greatly annoyed by the lack of thought the rogue devil faction had put into their actions.
The old generation of devils were quite foolish in her opinion.
"No shit…" The white haired girl said her anger justified from other past experiences that she also had to suffer from.
Kiba gave a dark look, but muttered under his breath, "Also anyone of said old generation who thinks who knows better than God." He rubbed his forehead when pain entered his brain.
Rias shared that opinion.
"So, it seems we have reached a problem... I want Naruto for my peerage now, and I can assume that you want the same." Rias glanced at Sona with suspicion in her eyes. She could see the cogs in that beautiful head working to think up dozens of ways that she could make that work.
Sona nodded.
"Oh crap...are we going to do another sexy tennis match?" Issei said remember the pointless wasted time watching easy pantie shots of the boring game...the fact he said boring while getting some nice mental pics for his brain should say a lot for a pervert like him.
"His genetics are great, and one day he could produce children with devils who overall enhance our race. I wish to do our species a great service by introducing a man of such high breed into it. Uzumaki are quite wild I've heard, so a person as strict as I am would be best suited for his adjustment." Sona couldn't see a flaw in her logic. She already had plans to offer Naruto whatever it was that he craved in return for him joining her peerage. "I planned on getting Ruruko Nimura and Saji Genshirou into my peerage, since both have potential and have slight delinquent tendencies I wished to put an end to... but I believe saving my Pawns for Naruto would be best if he costs too much for my other pieces." Sona had multiple plans on what she needed to do.
They all turn to Rias who coughs into her hands, blushing as they know that she must have similar reasons to agree, "W-Well I kinda do agree."
1. She would come clean with him about her personal status as a devil, and introduce him to the supernatural world.
2. She would make him an offer that many humans would love to have, such as extended life, possible harems, status, honor, and a way to restore their families.
3. She would give him an appropriate amount of time, 3 days, to make his choice and then accept the outcome of what he decided.
This was the best course of action, by giving him the freedom to chose what he wished to do, being honest with him, and allowing him to accept his future situation she allowed him to enter her servatude while still maintaing the idea that he did so of his own free will.
"It does sound sane and sound but~" Kiba chimed out as Issei nodded.
"I think Naruto might have trust problems with highschool girls." He said remembering the last one was dead...well technically three if he remembers correctly. But Issei said something that made everyone slightly shock, "I don't think he would ever rely on others that even meant he can change his life...given he kinda seem optimistic to change his fate himself." That was so true that they wonder...what will make him join them or Sona?
"... He has no friends, no family, he's unloved and unwanted... I feel bad for his situation. I think that he would be a great addition to my family. Not only do I benefit from having him, but I believe that I can give him the happiness he is missing in life." Rias spoke in a way that Sona didn't truly understand.
"We all do…" Asia said softly as the others agreed in silence.
It wasn't guided by logic or reasoning, Rias was speaking mostly with her heart. Her family were known for having huge hearts that attracted others to them quite naturally. Having a kind and gentle heart was not a trait natural to devils, and usually even the most kind hearted devil would have an ulterior motive behind most of their best actions.
Sadly, Rias was not like that.
"And we all love prez because of it!" Issei shouted happily as the others agreed, making their leader smile at the praise she received.
She followed logic and reason, but above that she followed her feelings and used her heart to decide what the best course of action was. She was emotional and loving, and that was a weakness.
'I gained all my servants though my own peerage making skills... while Rias followed her heart. Her brother gave her Koneko Toujou, and Rias added her to her peerage to give her a family. Rias saved her Queen's, Akeno Himejima, life as a child and offered her a home to belong to because she felt bad for her. She found her knight, dying and saved his life so that he could strive for his dreams... and her Bishop she gave a second chance at life after he suffered at the hands of his family and humans... her choices are always based on her own feelings... she's my dear friend, but I'll never understand how she uses her heart to decide.' Sona analyzed Rias, her usual motives, and compared to the two of them.
Rias could already feel her servants, IE peerage, all disagree but she didn't say anything as they didn't understand Sona like she did. And possible the opposite Sona would do the same...actually scratch that she would spank her members before explaining sternly.
Rias barely ever had to work to get peerage members, usually they just fell into her lap.
At the same time, Rias' peerage members were very happy with their lives because of the type of King that she was. Rias had a natural charisma to her, and she actually loved her peerage as strange as that was. To actually love her servants as if they were family was strong for sure, rewarding them for good behavior and good deeds was one thing, but Rias truly treated her peerage like they were one big family.
"I suggest we settle this with this chess game. The winner gets the chance to add Uzumaki Naruto to their peerage-"
"The chance." Rias spoke with a smirk, knowing that Sona had worded that in that way on purpose. She knew that Sona was extremely analytical, to the point that she ignored her heart.
"Ohohoh Sona used that as if she didn't have a chance." Issei said as the story was about Naruto so far and wanted a better life. No doubt Sona was a great girl, but with Rias and them? He would be welcome with open arms.
Rias didn't understand how somebody like Sona could use rational and logic to dictate all of their actions, to the point that they almost never thought with their heart at all. The heart would never steer you wrong if you listened to it, and while logic was never a bad idea to take into account, the heart was the most valuable decision making tool one could have at their disposal. Sona removed love from the equation when she made choices, a sad way to live that Rias would never personally chose for herself.
Basically, if one person failed to get Naruto, the other person was then allowed to try their hand at getting him for themselves.
"Ufufufu, it seems that logic often makes her unable to see bad things from it. Granted she probably saw or thought of it but at the same time, doesn't mind it if the chance is low." Akeno said using her time on knowing Sona more than the others did, beside Rias of course.
"Of course, we should make the assumption failure is possible, so lets agree to a non-interferance truce during the course of our attempts. The one who wins this chess game gets to have the first attempt. The Uzumaki is a wildcard, and needs cold logic and reasoning to balance him." Sona stated as she moved her piece backwards, and she glanced at Rias.
"That's the opposite of what he needs." Kiba loudly said as if Sona was there in front of them, "Its one thing for a person who is unruly or lack of manners, but Naruto screwed over by fate, people, and the system of Japan. He needs us."
No hesitation, Rias moved her pawn another place forward.
"Agree." Koneko agreed with her friend's statement.
"I disagree, I think having an understanding heart would be better to grow closer to Naruto." Rias spoke as stared at Sona. "Of course, I agree. The winner gets their chance first." Rias smiled at Sona.
"Rias is going to win and with us getting Naruto, he'll have a better life." Issei cheered as he watched the two get ready with their match.
Game on.
Rias couldn't help but watch King and Queen from the side giving sad smiles to their looks as if knowing something ironic or tragic was going to happen. But even if someone got hurt, its going to be worth it to give Naruto a chance to be happy.
What's the worst that can happen?
