She felt like she was forgetting something.

"Asia?" Rias Gremory asked the newest member of her peerage with a raised eyebrow, since based on the look of her newest Bishop's face it seemed like she was having some serious trouble remembering something.

It had been an eventful few days.

She had gained herself a new Pawn and a new Bishop, both of which were Sacred Gear users and good additions to her peerage overall. She had added the Red Dragon Emperor's wielder to her peerage, and she had added a powerful healing member in the form of Asia Argento. After the girl had been killed by the Fallen Angels, she didn't have much choice but to revive her as a devil in order to give her a second chance, and to make her pawn happy as well.

"Regretting becoming a devil?" Yuuto asked with a smile as he walked into the room with Issei, who seemed to be sulking.

"... Sorry..."

"No... I mean... I won't say I'm not regretting it a little bit... but I'm really happy with my life right now, it almost feels like a happy dream." Asia stated as she went through the recent events of her life.

She healed a devil.
Got kicked from the church.
Got taken in by Fallen Angels, then met some devils again.
Got killed by having her Sacred Gear ripped out.
Finally she was given her gear back and revived as a devil, and she now had friends.

Her life was so much more fulfilling than it had been before when she had been lonely with the church, and when she got beaten by stray exorcists and used as a toy by Raynare. She had a better life now for sure, though she wished she could wear her cross and pray again.

"You're not dreaming, this is your life now, as a cute new member of my family. Wonderful tea as usual Akeno." Rias smiled as she looked at the strongest member of her peerage, a wide smile on her face. She was in a great good since she increased her peerage number by a full two people. Her peerage had grown even stronger, she got cute new family members, and she had improved their lives greatly by taking them into her family.

Akeno just sat the tea down in front of Asia, who stared into the liquid as she scrunched up her face. There was a tea leaf floating in the middle of the tea, and the leaf had a few drops of honey on it.

"...I just feel like in all of the excitement, I've forgotten about somebody important... my memory is kind of fuzzy though." Asia scrunched up her face that everyone would have described as cute. She pushed her hands up against her cheeks to scrunch her face even more.

'So cute.' Rias and Issei couldn't help but think.

A magical circle glowed in the middle of the room, with a small white haired girl coming out of it moments later. She gave a piece of paper to Rias, before she just sat down next to Asia without hesitation, and started to eat whatever Akeno would place in front of her.

"Well, all of the Fallen are dead now, and the exorcists that survived ran away, unless you are thinking of somebody else, I doubt you forget a person."

Asia stood up.

"AH! I remember, there was a boy that Raynare and the other Fallen Angels were torturing in the hidden basement! They were torturing a devil boy!" Asia shouted when she remembered, watching the leaf floating in the tea helped to jog her remember.

...

"What!?" Rias was alarmed by that instantly.

That was news to her, since she didn't know about the disappearance of a devil boy in the area. Hearing that a person they completely missed, somebody of her species, was trapped in a CHURCH and had been tortured was enough to get her to spring into action. She wasn't the only person who was alarmed by the news that somebody had been getting tortured, every person in the room was following behind Rias as she rushed out of the room.

They RAN.

"Why didn't you mention something sooner?" Koneko asked Asia as she ran behind the girl.

"I'm sure dying made her forget, it's not your fault Asia." Issei was the slowest of the group and trailed behind everyone else, not that he didn't wish he could enjoy the view. Even Issei, the pervert that he was, could tell that this was a serious situation. Nobody was angry with Asia for forgetting, since it made sense that dying would cause some memory issues.

Asia still looked ashamed of herself.

No amount of pep talk would make her stop feeling ashamed that she had forgotten about the trapped boy.

-At the Church, Later-

"Okay, where is the secret room." Rias asked as she looked around the basement.

Asia just pushed a painting to the side to reveal a door, and she opened the door while rushing herself. She didn't say another word as she went ahead of everyone else, rushing into the darkness. The room wasn't trapped if Asia didn't hesitate to run in, or if she had been in the room before, so the others didn't hesitate to follow her.

They were shocked.

It was a hidden lab, and connected to a lot of active machines was a large glass container with a person floating inside of it.

There was the boy.

He was not in good condition, there were burns all over his body from where his body had been exposed to Holy Light from a place where he couldn't avoid it. There were winces from everyone who had experienced light pain before. His wounds were caused by constant exposure to light weapons, over a long period of time.

"Naruto!" Asia shouted as she slapped her hands against the glass.

Somebody had to say it.

It was Issei.

"He's naked."

"They stripped him of his dignity and tortured him... they didn't die slow enough." Yuuto had a dark look on his face as Asia woke the sleeping boy up. She was healing him through the glass the best that she could, since he wasn't awake enough to float closer to her.

Koneko rushed at the glass and punched it to shatter it.

"GAH!" Koneko gasped and jumped back, holding her fist in pain as her knuckles cracked against her will. "... I can't break it..." Koneko broke her knuckles punching the glass, but her punch served to wake up the boy inside of the glass a little more.

Naruto looked out of it.

Yuuto summoned a sword and slashed with all of his might at the glass, but didn't even scratch it. All he got was recoil hard enough to make him drop his swords, looking at his stinging hands. Rias on the other hand looked at the old, scattered notes that were dropped all around the ground, seemingly in a rush.

"... Research..."

"Somebody was researching our species... and they kidnapped a somebody to do it." Akeno heard Rias' whisper as Koneko and Yuuto tried their best to free their fellow devil from the case that was trapping him. Akeno couldn't use magic to do anything, because anything strong enough to break the glass would also fit the boy inside of the glass.

"ORA ORA!"

"HAH!"

Yuuto dropped his swords when the recoil became too much for his hands, and Koneko's knuckles burst open. Asia went to heal them while Naruto was healed up enough to finally wake up all the way, and he looked around the room.

"Asia."

"He can speak!" Issei just stepped back in shock when they could hear him speak, having not expected such a damaged body to be capable of speaking. Issei stepped in front of Asia to protect her when Naruto placed his hand against the glass. Rias was just looking through the research papers as fast as she could, and she was standing in front of the control panel to try and figure out which buttons she needed to push to release him.

Why couldn't it just be a big red button?

"There are buttons to electricute him... buttons to boil the liquid he is in... buttons to freeze him... this is horrible... what kind of monster would design this?" Rias was only finding buttons to torture the boy, but nothing that would let him out. Her peerage was trying to just shatter the glass, but the glass was powerful enough that none of them were even scratching the surface. She was just more horrified when she was reading all the different ways the cage was designed to mentally destroy the boy.

Floating in a smaller container was a severed hand.

Rias placed her hand against the glass.

She yelped in shock when she felt a wave of divine power come off of the hand, the skin on her hand visibly sizzling from contact with just the container for the hand. She looked at Naruto in his container, and she saw that the skin color he had matched the skin color of the hand. Not to mention his container and the hand's container were connected to each other. She would report that to her brother, but for the moment it wasn't important.

"Promotion: Rook!"
"ORA!"
"HYAH!"

Nothing but broken knuckles that Asia had to heal.

"Naruto... how can we break you out?"

"Asia, he can't understand you. He was bred in this lab, and with how long it's been abandoned, I don't think he's ever had any real contact with others... besides..." Rias saw the date of birth of the boy in his prison. She grit her teeth at all of the inhumane experiments that had been planned on the boy, and by an unknown researcher who was smart enough to not put his name on his research papers.

"Out?"

"Yes, out... out here! With us! We're going to take you home."

"... Home?"

"The place where you belong... with us!" Asia was willing to try to have a conversation, though now that she was remembering, the conversation she had with him before was pretty simple as well. She didn't know if he actually understood what she was saying at all, but she was going to at least try.

Rias looked at some of the notes.

She got it.

"Home is... outside?" Naruto asked Asia with confusion.

"... Oh shit... that's dark." Issei stepped back as even he realized that statement meant they were dealing with a person who had never so much as ventured outside of his container before. He had literally lived an entire life inside of a container, trapped in a prison in the darkness, with his only visitors being people who tortured him. "... I'm not wrong, but... that's pretty messed up right?" Issei whispered to Koneko.

"Don't talk to me."

"Ow."

Rias pressed two buttons at the same time, and the container opened up. With the container open, Naruto spilled out of it and onto the ground. Asia rushed to his side and hugged him. Naruto didn't move from where he was, but he started to struggle in a different way. He coughed all of the fluid in his lungs out onto the floor.

He struggled.

He didn't know what he was suppose to do, but he was struggling as he felt everything going dark. He scrambled on the ground as he felt a pressure building inside of him.

"HAAAAAAH!"

Naruto took his first breath before everyone could crowd him, and he started to breath for real. He still coughed and sputtered on every breath as he tried to get used to the strange sensation of breathing. A jacket was placed over him for some reason, and he just looked back at his container. His first breath outside of his container was a painful one, one where he felt like he couldn't breath at all.

"He's not standing up."

"Of course he isn't, he's never done it before... he has literally spent his entire life floating in a container. It's amazing he isn't skin and bones." Rias muttered when she heard Akeno whispering. Naruto seemed happy to just be breathing though, a wide smile on his face as he just looked at the ceiling. "... I'm going to need to call Grayfia, or my parents... I don't know what we're going to do. It says his genetic mother... the egg he was cloned using... is from a Belial. He's related to the 72 pillars." Rias didn't know what she was suppose to do in this situation at all.

They were dealing with something never dealt with before.
