Chapter One
The New Kid in Devil Town pt. 1
Rias Gremory pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation, mostly because their homeroom teacher was late…later than she had arrived…and that meant that she was sitting in class, doing nothing…while her peerage's familiars no doubt worked to increase the amount of paperwork that would wait for her in the ORC club room.
Paperwork which she would have to deal with sooner or later, no matter how much she wanted to put it off in favor of searching for a new member to join her beloved peerage.
But no, she needed to keep up on doing her duties, no matter how tedious they might be. But it was just so boring and monotonous…she had no idea how Sona managed to deal with her workload with such effortless swiftness.
At that moment, her ears picked up on a commotion from outside the doors.
The chatter inside the class died down as students looked up to see the teacher strolling in; He was a short and stout man, with greying brown hair and thin wireframed glasses sitting on the bridge of his crooked nose. His name was Mr. Elles, an Englishman if she wasn't mistaken but beyond that he was-without a doubt-the most unassuming teacher that she'd ever seen.
However, walking next to Mr. Elles was a young man that could be called the polar opposite of the plain-looking teacher.
Rias could feel her cheeks heating up as Mr. Elles introduced the young man to the class.
"Good morning everyone! We have a new transfer student today and I'm counting on all of you to make him feel right at home here at Kuoh."
Her face grew hotter still as she beheld the young man's form. He was tall, taller than her by several inches if she had to guess, with sun-kissed skin and golden blonde hair that stood out in every which way as if nothing stood a chance of taming the unruly mop.
The boy was dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform with a light orange shirt underneath the black jacket. His clothes were wrinkly and disheveled, and Rias got the feeling that the boy didn't much care for the state of his uniform.
The young man, whose mischievous blue eyes were shining out from underneath strands of gold that covered his forehead, bowed to the class. "Hello everyone, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, I hope that we'll get along and maybe even become friends in the future, 'ttebayo!"
His voice was rich to her ears, buttery and purring like nothing she had ever heard before. It sent a shudder down her spine, one that seemed to resonate through her body, leaving a trail of gooseflesh on her skin.
And 'ttebayo? A verbal tick? It was…oddly charming if a bit immature.
Rias noted that he had three blemishes on each cheek, almost appearing to be whiskers. It lent him a cute yet roguish appearance, which was already reinforced by his playful bow and strange verbal tick.
All around the class Rias could hear whispers burst like overflowing balloons, girls speaking with hushed voices, chatting and murmuring over the new student.
Maybe it was her imagination playing tricks on her, but she felt the room heat up quite a bit, as though she was urged to fan herself, and glancing around it became obvious that she was far from the only girl to feel this way.
She watched how the boy straightened himself before turning to face the teacher. And once more her ears were assaulted by the seductive purr of Naruto's baritone.
"Where would you like me to sit sensei?" The curious boy asked with a playful little smile stretching his lips, giving Rias a brief glaze at his slightly protruding canines sticking out from otherwise perfect and pearl white teeth.
'A Yokai…?'
Rias glanced around as she heard half the class sigh dreamily. She…didn't know what to make of it but seeing every girl stare at the boy with dreamy, star-struck eyes irked her. But she could not blame her fellow female students either, because one thing was for sure…Kiba was going to have to fight for his title now.
Pretty boy number two had officially arrived, and boy was he a fine piece of eye candy.
Rias could say with full confidence that Naruto Uzumaki was the best-looking boy she'd seen this side of the underworld. Her mind tried to find any man she knew that struck her chords as this one did, but none came to mind.
Rias turned to look over her shoulder at her [Queen] and saw that Akeno too was smiling at Naruto; deep violet eyes moving up and down, roaming over the boy's body and without a doubt, disrobing him with her eyes.
'Akeno…really? You too?' The crimson-haired beauty could feel her eyebrow twitch.
She couldn't blame Akeno for ogling the boy when she had done nothing but the same since he entered the classroom, but again it didn't sit right with her.
Not at all.
Was she…was she feeling possessive over a boy she didn't know? No, that couldn't be it. Right?
"Well, Uzumaki-san, you can take the free seat over there, next to Himejima-san." Mr. Elles said, pointing at the seat next to her best friend.
Naruto's gaze turned to the [Queen] of Rias' peerage who had raised her hand to make herself noticed by the new student.
And there it was again, that twinge of irritation forming in the pit of her stomach as she watched Naruto look at her best friend with those gorgeous blue eyes of his.
'He's undressing her with his eyes, I just know it!' Rias blinked. Where did that come from? Why would she care if the new kid ogled her best friend, she knew for a fact that Akeno wouldn't mind being stared at…so where was this sudden irritation coming from?
'I'm just…protective of Akeno-chan, yes that's it. And as Akeno's best friend I'm allowed to feel offended on her part!' She nodded decisively, happy with her victory over her mind.
Rias finally pulled her eyes away from the new student after watching him walk towards Akeno, but not before feeling her body shudder one last time as Naruto passed her and her nose caught a whiff of his scent.
A smell of pines, dried leaves, and fresh dewy grass followed his wake…such a unique and manly scent, made her feel lightheaded.
'What's wrong with me?' She pinched the bridge of her nose and lightly shook her head to rid herself of whatever spell she'd fallen prey to.
"Now then, I believe that it's time to get this day started." Mr. Elles said as he walked towards the blackboard. "Class please open your Algebra 2 textbook, page 76."
And as Rias decided to put her focus back on her studies, she was completely unaware of the pair of blue eyes that studied her from behind…
~XxX~
Naruto watched the girl with the crimson hair out of the corner of his eye.
She was…beautiful.
She had a voluptuous body with a perfect hourglass figure and a large bust. Admittedly he found it hard not to stare at the breasts hidden beneath the uniform that hugged her figure oh so nicely.
But it was her hair that first drew his eyes.
So rich and vibrant as it spilled down her back. Adorning the ivory skin of her face and complimenting those turquoise eyes that shone out from beneath a messy fringe of crimson silk that covered her forehead and crossed down her cute button nose.
Even as he looked at the back of the girl's head, Naruto found it hard to believe that such beauty could be real. Throughout his life, he saw many gorgeous women, but this one here stood leagues above them all.
When his eyes first fell on her as he entered the classroom, he felt his throat turn dry, his heartbeat quicken, and his palms run wet and sweaty. From that moment on it was a battle to not look at that beautiful girl, for he feared that if he had allowed himself to stare, he would still be standing there in front of the class, frozen like a statue, and a blush to end all bushes on his face.
No thanks.
He'd rather not make an idiot out of himself just yet; he knew from past experiences that being the class clown was not exactly a fun time.
No, that was a lie.
He remembered having a blast as he raised hell throughout the Shinobi Academy, and then being chased by Iruka and running away from the angry Office Ninja that got stuck working at the Academy as bureaucrats and teachers.
Those were fun times.
He smiled and looked down at his book, already laying open on the table before him, and as soon as his eyes roamed over the first page his smile gradually began to fall.
What was this?
Was this book written in moon-speak? Because Naruto sure as hell didn't understand anything that was written within. The more he read the more his confusion grew…this book was about math…he hated math.
Kami…coming to this school might have been a mistake.
'Fuck my life.'
~XxX~
-Lunch Break-
The bell finally rang, an uncomfortable blaring sound but to Naruto's ears, it was like the calling of Angels; a sweet and tender melody of freedom.
Finally, that boring, monotonous torture was over...for a while there he feared that it would never end.
Naruto lifted his head from his desk and stretched out his limbs with a loud yawn, sighing blissfully as his back popped and cracked in so very satisfying ways before turning to watch his fellow students swarm out the class's doors in a hurry.
He smiled and waved at a group of girls who were looking in his direction.
The girls-he noted-all flushed and fidgeted indecisively as if they weren't sure if they should approach him or not but, ultimately, they only sent him a flirtatious wink before scurrying out the class.
'So this is what it feels like to be Sasuke huh? I honestly could get used to this.' He rolled his shoulders and began to clean up his table.
"Oh my, looks like someone's popular…Ufufufu." Naruto looked aside to see his seatmate standing next to his desk, looking down on him with a gentle smile adorning her beautiful face.
She too was quite the…gorgeous girl but that was hardly saying something anymore. After only half a day at Kuoh High Naruto knew that he needed a different word to describe some of the girls he'd seen so far.
Beautiful just didn't do them justice.
As for this one standing before him, she was something alright…
The girl was about the average height for her age, with rich, glossy, and long black hair that she tangled into a ponytail with a large burnt orange ribbon-a choice in color Naruto most certainly could appreciate. She had a marvelously curvaceous figure; perfect 'mile-long legs, wide hips, and a thin waist that led up to one of the largest pairs of boobs that Naruto had ever seen.
Seriously her boobs had to at least match Tsunade's! And the girl was still growing as well!
"I don't know what you mean…"
"Ara ara, where are my manners, Akeno Himejima, it's a pleasure to meet you Uzumaki-Kun." The beauty inclined her head towards him, a gesture that he was more than happy to return. "And I think you know exactly what I meant, don't you? Ufufufu…"
"The pleasure is mine, Himejima-chan, and just Naruto will do, I'm not one for formalities." He smiled at her before he began to collect the few books strewn about on his table and stored them away in his backpack upon which he too rose from his seat.
"And about those girls…" He glanced down at the beautiful girl who now had to crane her head up to look at his face, "guess they're curious about me 'cause I'm new and stuff. Give it a few days and I'm sure they'll settle down."
"Somehow I doubt that." A spark traveled down Naruto's spine as Akeno's haunting violet eyes roamed his body. "you're certainly different."
Naruto cocked an eyebrow at the girl, "uhh…okay…? I'm going to take that as a compliment."
"You should." Akeno smiled-no smirked-up at him after her pretty eyes finished roaming his body. "It was meant to be one, but anyway, did you enjoy your first day so far?"
"Uhm, kind of, the Academy is nice and all, but the classes so far were quite...well…"
"Boring?"
"Yes!" The blonde's head bobbed quickly, "I thought the sensei would never stop talking."
The girl hid a giggle behind a dainty hand, "yes I think everyone feels the same about Mr. Elles' classes. He is boring but reliable and he knows what he is talking about, you'd do well to pay attention to what he has to say."
Naruto grimaced but nodded anyway, "I guess you're right, can't hurt to give it a try."
"No need to sound so enthusiastic about it." Akeno shook her head with a playful sigh escaping through her full plump lips. "I guess you're still just a typical boy..."
"Hey! That's uncalled for!" He cried in false outrage, which rewarded him with another laugh that was swallowed by the back of Akeno's hand. "And I'll have you know that I'm nothing like the guys here, dattebayo!"
Akeno crossed her arms underneath her sizable bust and playfully sized him up, "isn't that what every boy tells himself?" The girls' violet eyes then flicked aside, prompting Naruto's gaze to follow and they both saw the red-haired girl began to lift herself from her seat. "I guess it's time for me to be off then."
"Huh?" Naruto's eyes fell on the girl before him again, "you were waiting for her then?"
Akeno nodded, "I did, we always spend our breaks together."
"I see." He smiled at the girl, "well then don't let me stop you."
"Thanks," Akeno smoothed out her skirt before she lifted her purse from her table. "It was nice meeting you Uzumaki-Kun." She winked at him before she began to head towards the crimson-haired girl.
"Likewise, and I told you that just Naruto was fine!" Naruto called after the girl but received no reply.
He threaded a hand through his hair and watched as Akeno met the other girl at her table before he grabbed his small backpack and made to exit the class himself, his thoughts clinging to the conversation he shared with the black-haired girl.
Despite the prime and proper way, the girl held herself, she struck him to be quite playful. A shame that she didn't have time to talk a while longer, but well, there always was tomorrow.
For now, it was time to enjoy his break before it was too late and the next period began.
Something he wasn't looking forward to at all!
~XxX~
"So, you talked to him? What did he say!?" Rias rounded on Akeno the moment they appeared within the ORC club room.
The Occult Research Club was originally abandoned due to a lack of both members and funding but upon arriving at the school herself, Rias saw an opportunity that could allow her peerage to function in secrecy, even during daytime by securing the property the Old School building stood on. It was a hassle and a half to officially gain all the rights for the building and the small forest outside, but one well worth it in the end.
And there was nothing that she wouldn't do for her peerage.
"Who are we talking about here?" Akeno questioned, looking at the unusually bubbly form of her [King].
"The new guy of course!" Rias took a hold of Akeno's arm and pulled her towards one of the many Victorian-styled couches that lined the walls of her clubroom. "Now what did he say? Did you notice anything odd about him? Did you get a feel for his energy? Anything?"
"Hey, hey, calm down girl." The ponytailed senior squinted at Rias, "what's this all about, why are you so curious about Uzumaki-Kun?"
"Oh…" Rias flushed, and her fingers fiddled with a strand of her crimson hair, "it's nothing…I just noticed that his teeth looked a lot like those of a canine, too long and sharp to belong to a human, so I was curious if he might be a Yokai, that's all."
"U-hu." Akeno scrutinized the girl sitting next to her, taking note of the little dusting of pink on Rias's cheeks and the way her fingers played with strands of her crimson hair.
'What's gotten into my Buchou to make her so…cutesy? Acting all flushed and embarrassed…' Akeno wondered but decided to give the questions some thought before responding.
"No, there was nothing that struck me as odd or out of the ordinary, but we only shared a few words."
"Really?" Rias' face fell, "nothing at all?"
'What's with her?' Akeno's brow furrowed, "as I said, we only shared a few words, and he didn't decide to give me a short version of his life's story."
Rias shoulders fell and she sank back into the sofa they sat on, "I see, I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up."
"If you were so curious about Uzumaki-Kun, then why didn't you just talk with him? Now that I think about it, you spent a long time just sitting at your desk today…" Akeno too leaned back into the couch and crossed her legs.
Rias rubbed her thighs, "I wanted to go and introduce myself as well, but I…I don't know…I just…"
"Got nervous?" Akeno looked at her best friend, and much to her shock and surprise Rias' face flushed red. "Don't tell me…oh my, could it be that you're crushing on the new guy?"
"No!" Rias cried out with a burning face, "I don't have a crush on anyone!"
"Really? Then why is your face so red?" Akeno pointed at the blushing Rias with a sparkle in her violet eyes, "Oh my, you've got a crush, this is so adorable!"
"Akeno-chan!" Rias yelped as the buxom senior practically knocked her over with an unexpected bear hug. "What're you doing!?"
"Hugging you of course!" Akeno giggled cutely per Rias' gasp as the former pushed them both until they lay spread eagle on the length of the couch. "My cute little Rias-chan has her first crush on a boy, this is great!"
"But I don't!" Rias wiggled beneath her busty best friend, trying to push against the heavier black-haired girl. "Now get off!"
"Oh my, just think about what your parents would say… Ufufufu~!" Akeno continued, laughing and giggling and completely ignoring the struggling girl she held trapped beneath her. "The great Rias Gremory is crushing on a human boy!"
"Akeno-chan~! Stop it please!" Rias whined with a face so red that it seemed to blend in with her hair, making her head look like a tomato with wide eyes.
Akeno pushed herself up, using her [King's] shoulders until she sat on Rias' abdomen, straddling the girl. "Well, if anything I've got to admit that your taste in men hasn't changed, Uzumaki-Kun is certainly easy on the eyes."
Rias crossed her arms and pouted, "I told you Akeno-chan, I'm not crushing on him or anyone for that matter."
"But you were blushing." Akeno shuffled back until her back rested against Rias's knees, truly using the girl beneath her as a recliner, "I never saw you blush because of a boy…well real boy that is. There was that one time I caught you masturbating-
"Akeno Himejima!" The Crimson-haired girl cried and covered Akeno's mouth with both of her hands. "You promised to never talk about that again!"
The two high school seniors looked at each other, Rias with a pouty blush on her face, and Akeno with Rias' hands covering her mouth. There was silence until both broke out into fits of girlish giggling which became roaring laughter.
The two childhood friends laughed until tears came to their eyes and their breathing turned into labored pants.
"You're incorrigible Akeno-chan…" Rias panted out and reached up to wipe a stray tear from the corner of her eye.
"And you're far too easy to tease Rias." Akeno blew out her cheeks before allowing herself to fall forward.
Rias felt her breath leave her in a sharp exhale as the weight of her best friend dropped onto her heaving chest, but she didn't mind. The two girls lay there in each other's arms, their breathing hard and the occasional giggle and laugh escaping their lips.
Uncaring of the scene they would strike to anyone that was to observe them at the moment.
This was rather unfortunate as the doors of the clubroom opened and a very handsome young man came walking into the room.
The moment the boy's bluish-grey eyes fell onto the two women lying on the couch, both breathing hard with their bodies entwined in a lover's embrace; he blinked. Once, twice and then a third time before he spun around on the spot and left the clubroom as quickly as he had entered.
"Please ignore my interruption, don't let me stop you from enjoying your moment!"
Rias and Akeno heard the echo of Kiba Yuuto's voice coming from the hallway outside.
Rias blinked her face a mask of serenity. "Akeno-chan?"
"Yes?" Akeno too looked as if nothing ever happened.
"Did we just get caught doing something suggestively sexual…again?"
"Yes, yes we did."
"Huh."
"Yup." Akeno turned her head to look Rias in the eyes, "if we keep getting caught in positions like this, I wouldn't be surprised if your parents would take you for a lesbian."
Again, Rias blinked up at Akeno with big and round eyes, "do you think that being gay would get me out of my contract with Riser?"
Akeno opened her mouth as if to answer but quickly snapped it shut again and a look of contemplation overtook her features.
She squinted in thought, "…maybe?"
Rias' face brightened, "a maybe's good right?"
Akeno reached down to tuck a strand of hair behind Rias's ear, "maybe. But it also may make Riser even more determined to marry you. But besides that, do you really want to join the rainbow nation now that you have found a boyfriend?"
The crimson-haired girl's face lit up in an equally crimson flush, "How many times do I have to tell you, I don't have a crush on anyone!"
Akeno only laughed melodiously which didn't please her [King], not one bit.
As such the two beauties spent the rest of their lunch break squabbling, teasing, and laughing without a care in the world…
