"HRRRRRRRG!"

Rias and her entire peerage, minus Issei, were stunned when they saw a familiar face joining Asia at school while Naruto was missing. The woman they knew as a source of powerful destruction, who had attacked the school several times but mysteriously stopped, was currently growling at a teacher who was trying to tell her to get off of school grounds seeing as she was not a student.

"Good morning Asia!" Issei greeted Asia with a wide smile.

He was unaware of who the person standing next to Asia was, though in all fairness they still didn't know what her name was either.

"GRR!?" Berserker growled at Issei when he got close as well, and he stopped when she lifted up her warhammer.

"She's... my bodyguard." Asia tried to explain to the teacher, who had turned and started to run away from Berserker. She huffed with a smile on her face for getting him to run away, before she turned and growled at Issei again. He stepped back, while many other students at the school started to take notice of what was going on.

'We can't fight here, not without there beiung casualties!' Rias was a little frightened of how things would play out this time. They could win, they had an even greater numbers edge than before with Issei and his Boosted Gear, and Asia with her Twilight Healing to heal their injuries as they fought. Not to mention if this woman got into a fight, she herself would use her Power of Destruction personally and protect the students of the school. 'This isn't like letting my peerage get combat experience for their own good... this is really...'

Bodyguard?

"Bodyguard?" Issei asked Asia, and she nodded a little.

"Berserker, this is Issei... he is a friend of Narutos like me." Asia introduced Issei to Berserker, and when Issei extended his hand to try and be friendly, she lowered her growl and looked down at his hand. "She doesn't really like anyone but-"

Asia was a little surprised when Berserker grabbed Issei's hand and shook it once, only a single time, before she let go. Her face was a lot calmer than before, since Issei was Naruto's male friend, everything was good apparently. Asia was a little hurt by that, but she just smiled sadly at being disliked by Berserker.

Rias had to step forward.

Berserker was instantly hostile again.

"RAH!" Berserker didn't allow Rias to come any closer. She wasn't allowed to come within 15 feet of Asia, nor approach her by a single step once that ring of protection had been reached. Rias backed away, and Berserker's body language cooled down, but maintained an alert status.

-Later-

"So... this is the girl who was attacking the school every night?" Issei asked as he looked at Berserker, and he tilted his head in some surprise. "... I expected her boobs to be bigger, but she's not much bigger than Koneko." Issei looked at her chest. She was super tall for a girl, but despite her height, she had little more than a small bust size. She had an extremely petite figure for her height as well.

Berserker didn't seem to mind his comment about her chest.

*POW*

Issei being on the ground moments later, showed that Koneko did mind the comments. Even still, she looked at the much taller woman, and at her own height. She nodded at her own small chest in approval, but she remained on alert as well since she knew personally how much it sucked getting struck by lightning thanks to this woman.

"She won't attack any humans, while Naruto is finding a new home for us-"

"Seriously Asia, you're a young woman, sleeping in a tent is beneath you. If Naruto won't accept an apartment, at least you should. You don't need to live like an animal in the wild." Rias sighed in annoyance. She hated that Naruto had turned her down instantly, without even considering her offer, when she had made it known she would pay for an apartment for him. It looked really bad for her, for her peerage members to be homeless.

A Gremory allowing part of their peerage to be homeless? That didn't scream the love that her family was known for, it made it look like she didn't love her peerage at all.

"But I want to stay with Naruto." Asia didn't see the problem. Naruto promised to show her how to wash her clothes using a river, and how to cook over an open fire. She wasn't hungry at all, he would kill animals to supply her with food, and he would go searching for any wild greens that she needed for a healthy diet. She had shelter in the tent, warmth at night, she had everything that she needed.

All she wanted in a home, was to be with somebody so she wouldn't be lonely, and she had that now.

"He's kind of a hardcore badass, so for him leaving in the wild is a walk in the park. That was even before he got Rook strength." Rias admitted that Naruto was a badass easily enough. Asia got an extremely small physical boost from being a devil, she wasn't much stronger than a regular human during the day, and thanks to being a Bishop her magic got a strength boost, but Asia knew no combat magic to make use of that strength.

Asia deserved better.

"Asia, hun, you deserve a better lifestyle than that." Akeno chimed in, since she wanted to try and be the voice of reason.

She also didn't really like Naruto all that much, and Asia was too sweet of a girl to be living with a rough man like that.

'I'm a little jealous of her.' Koneko didn't say her thoughts out loud though, since they would go against Rias' opinion. Asia had all of her needs taken care of by Naruto, who was putting forth so much effort into making her comfortable. Asia chose to stay with Naruto, but Naruto personally refused to take charity from Rias.

"No, I don't."

"Gr?" Berserker looked down at Asia with a confused growl.

"Naruto was willing to sacrifice everything for me, and I know even now he feels guilty that I can't pray anymore. Just because I can't pray, doesn't mean I've lost my faith. For him, who sacrificed everything he values, I can't let him suffer alone. As the person he sacrificed everything for, I'll be there to support him emotionally. So I can't take your offer either." Asia gracefully declined Rias' offer. She wouldn't budge on the issue at all.

She was responsible for Naruto losing his humanity.

Naruto had pride in himself being a person who stood above others thanks to how hard he worked in his life to get himself to that point. He gave up his position on top, all for her sake. He worked hard to make sure that she was comfortable, when he didn't have to at all. He wanted to keep her safe from Rias, since he had no faith or trust in the girl at all.

"I mean... just take this with you then. It's my Summoning Circle, with it I can teleport to where you guys are in case of a big issue-" Rias started to hand it to Asia, but Berserker grabbed it and ripped the paper to shreds. She tossed the paper on the ground while shaking her head, and this was the moment when Kiba walked into the clubroom. "... did Naruto order you to do that?" Rias asked Berserker.

No response.

"She doesn't speak, so you can't really communicate with her. She's Fran-"

"Ba-sar-kar!" Berserker exclaimed what she wanted to be called, over what her real name was.

"Good job protecting Asia while I was gone Berserker." Naruto said when he came into the clubroom through the window, not the door like one would think. Berserker walked towards Naruto, and though her face seemed on the bored side, there was a small smile. "You can go for now, I want to try out another Servant, but I'll summon you again soon." Naruto rubbed the top of her head.

She nodded, her body glowed blue, before she was gone.

"Ah, good of you to show up. You didn't show up for school." Rias pointed at him, and Naruto shrugged.

"I had more important things going on. I found a place perfectly placed, so that you and your peerage can't find my new location. I can't have you people seeing me train after all." Naruto stated with a cocky smirk.

"You're apart of my peerage too you know."

"So? Being in your peerage, doesn't mean I want to be around you or the other people here... Issei is cool though." Naruto sent a thumbs up towards Issei, who pumped his fist at the victory of that statement.

Nobody ever called him cool.

"What about me, Total Package Uzumaki?" Koneko asked, and Naruto palmed his face.

"No comment, anyway, I've got more important things to do than hang around here. There is a gang trying to set up turf here, so I've got to stomp my foot down on that. Not to mention, Jack said she smelled something suspiciously like a super evil devil in the area, so I'm going to attack that. I'm too busy to hang out with your little club." Naruto summoned his Sacred Gear, and he looked down at it.

"I Summon Thee Lancer."

There was a glow, and a person appeared with their arms crossed. They were about the same height as Berserker was, but this person wore bright whire armor and blue clothes underneath it. With a petite frame and thinner arms, Naruto could tell that this was a woman too. Her armor kept her sexual traits hidden well though, and her face wasn't visible thanks to the lion-themed helmet that she wore. Her weapon was a spiral shaped white spear, but she quickly made her spear disappear into thin air.

"... WOAH! Cool!" Issei exclaimed, since this was a total badass hottie that Naruto just summoned.

"You going to introduce yourself?" Naruto asked Lancer as he crossed his arms.

"... Sorry, I was just admiring what a fine man my... Master who summoned me seems to have become since he was given his Sacred Gear. You are a fine example of what a son of maelstroms should be. Though, are you eating enough?" Lancer asked Naruto as she looked around the room. She looked towards Asia, and she twitched, before she walked over towards Asia.

"Protect Asia, that is your job while I'm busy, make sure she gets home safe and has enough to eat." Naruto gave out his orders to Lancer. He raised an eyebrow at the way that she spoke to him, and the odd... way that her words made him feel on the inside. It was a weird warm, comfortable sensation that he wasn't used to. "... Listen to what Asia says to do."

"You know, usually a Peerage goes and takes care of Stray Devils as a group, to build team bonding." Rias mentioned in passing to Naruto.

"A King is the first to arrive to a battlefield, and the last person to leave it. They pave the pathway for others, and with their own arms protect all that is precious to them. Teamwork is fine, but a King showing his worth must be done alone. Don't worry Master, Asia will be safe under my watchful eyes." Lancer spoke with pride.

Naruto felt that same feeling in his chest.

'... It's like I'm watching a parent and child.' Kiba thought with an awkward smile. This "Lancer" was clearly very proud of Naruto, and took great pride in him much like a father. Yet Naruto, like a son, seemed to be unsure of how to take such compliments.

'A Father and Son?' Koneko raised an eyebrow.

That was what this scene made her think.

'It's like watching family members... but this Lancer might be even more annoying than Berserker. This woman is far too much like Naruto, she's nothing but trouble.' Akeno thought as she forced herself to keep up a smile. A second person who was similar to Naruto, well that was just a major downer for her.

"And how may I address you?" Rias asked Lancer.

Lancer turned to her.

"Well, my Class is Lancer, so you can address me as that. I can't say I'm too fond of you either, one who calls herself King, but doesn't possess the Capacity of a King doesn't deserve much respect."

...

"Okay?" Rias looked at Naruto, who just sent Lancer and even more odd look. That was the second time that she had been mentioned to not have the "Capacity" of a King, the first person to say it was actually Naruto, and now this Lancer who was very strangely similar to Naruto was talking about her lacking the capacity as well. "... Still, Naruto... Stray Devils can be a lot stronger than the Fallen Angels you fought... for a lone Rook, it might be too much." Rias tried to show her concern for Naruto.

She didn't want him to go alone.

"Before I am a Rook, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I don't want your help. When you need me, I'll do my job and help you. Don't act like we're family, or friends, or that you can butt yourself into my personal business. Lets keep our relationship business professional." Naruto would do his job as it related to her, and nothing more or less. He had no reason to accept her help, and unless she gave him an actual order then he wouldn't listen to her.

"Then as your King-"

"Just remember, ordering me to do something I hate won't earn my respect or affection, and our relationship will forever be set in stone." Naruto reminded her with a sly grin.

Rias shut her mouth for a moment.

"... Just stay safe then." Rias relented when she realized that Naruto had backed her into a corner. He was using her desire to get him to accept her as family, while also stating a very obvious fact that if she wanted him to accept her as family, acting like his master this soon in their relationship was not the way to earn his love and respect. He was using her own words against her, and in an impressive way.

Naruto was the only servant in her peerage who wasn't part of her 'family', but he was as far from a slave as one could get. He was maintaining his independence from her in such a way that she could end it at any time, but if she ever ended his independence, then that would forever mean that Naruto would refuse to accept her as family.

She was allowed to give him orders.

She couldn't allow herself to do that though.

'You're more of a Devil than I am... you're twisting my own desires and wishes against me. I might be your Master, but you seem to have far more control than I do.' Rias frowned, not liking this situation at all.

She felt like she had no control.

She hated this feeling.
