Hello everyone, hope you like this chapter as well as if you have Netflix I suggest you check out a show called "Wakfu" it is a fairly decent show that even I would want to write a story on instead of the Bleach continuation story.
Chapter 7
SOMETIME LATER IN THE MORNING, WITHIN ELIZABETH'S ROOM
Currently sleeping was a snoring Naruto who sat on a chair near Elizabeth's bed while his head was bowed, arms crossed, and right leg on his left.
"Get up, you slackers! Time for breakfast!" Came the yell of Hawk, the Princess who was sleeping until now had finally woken up to be greeted by the sleeping Naruto. Just after seeing him, she recalled everything that happened while she stares at the knight who starts too awaken from his slumber.
HALF-HOUR LATER IN THE PUB OF THE BOAR HAT
"Tell me Meliodas, was sleeping with Lady Elizabeth necessary for her protection?" Questioned the red-head who sat on a chair, opposite of the blonde while on his right and Meliodas's left was Elizabeth.
"What do you mean, there was an assassin trying to kill her so I decided to make sure to stay close in case another one attacks, besides aren't you the one who was sleeping on the job?" Hearing that caused him to blush while looking away.
"Heard you muttering Ramen this and ramen that." Hearing that, furthered Naruto's embarrassment as he glared at the Captain of the Sins.
"Spoken by the Pervy Midget." Hearing that, Hawk finally spoke up after hearing that just as Naruto starts taking a drink.
"Tomato's right! Him lying in the same bed as you, he's going to get all gropey! Naruto I can trust in the same bed as you but not the perv!" Just after saying that, Naruto did a spit take right on Meliodas who had a blank look on his face since it's the second time that happened while Naruto was blushing and looks at Hawk immediately.
"Don't say it like that Porky!" Naruto shouts at the pig who turns to Naruto in anger.
"WHO YOU CALLING PORKY YOU OVERGROWN TOMATO!" With that said, the two had lightning between them while Elizabeth just smiles while she sweat yet a small blush appears on her face at what she heard about the two guys being in bed with her.
"Well, being tied up isn't so bad, just think of it as foreplay." When Naruto heard Meliodas day that, he glared at the Sin.
"What's foreplay?" The Princess asked but what she got was the Sin of Wrath having his head through the floor again and they had just started too get repaired with Naruto leaning over the table with his left arm extended.
"DO YOU JUST LOVE GETTING ON MY BAD SIDE?!" Naruto shouts at Meliodas who pulls his head out of the floor and before he answers the Sin of Greed finally spoke after entering the room.
"I could sure use a drink." Spoke Ban just as he sat down at the table.
"Would you like some breakfast, Sir Ban?" The Princess asked the Sin who denied it.
"You expect me to eat the Captain's lousy cooking?" He asked just before catching a bottle thrown by Meliodas who was wiping off the dirt on his face.
"Actually, Hawk made it." Hearing that, Naruto's thoughts were back on the pig since not only did he tie up Meliodas but he can also cook. Hearing the news even surprised Ban.
"What, really?" He said, not a moment sooner he had taken Meliodas's seat and started eating since this must be good, and he was right.
"Hey, this is good! Better then your cooking Cap'n!" Hearing that, Meliodas just crosses his arms right before they proceeded with the mission and Meliodas places a map on the table.
"We're heading for the Necropolis. We'll look for King there." He told the group of humans and pig.
"Hold on, didn't you say that fatty was dead?" He questioned Meliodas who spoke again.
"It's our only lead, so let's go check it out." He said to Ban the Undead.
"What sort of place is the Necropolis?" She questioned the Sin of Wrath who answers.
"I have no idea, all I've heard is that it exists." Hearing that, Hawk only states that he thinks it's haunted which scares Elizabeth.
"There...won't be any bugs, will there?" Asked the scared Diane who finally spoke from the window.
"If King is really there, will he be alive?!" He asked Elizabeth who covers her ears with fear but the Pig was silenced by Naruto bopping it in the head leaving a big bump.
"Cool it Hawk." He told the pig before noticing that Ban was sleeping.
FEW HOURS LATER
"We're here!" Spoke the smoking Meliodas who stood atop Mama Pig's snout next to Hawk, Elizabeth, and Naruto with Diane on there right and Ban behind them having just awoken.
"So this is the Necropolis?" The Giant Crybaby asked while she looked around the small run downed village.
"It looks abandoned..." Naruto muttered while looking around yet he felt weird as they got closer.
"Rumor has it that this place is closed to the Necropolis. We'll start by gathering intel on King and the Necropolis. We also need money to feed ourselves. Okay, let's get ready for business." He told the group which Ban thought it was a joke at first.
"He's seriously cute when he's working!" Diane said as she found him adorable.
"You guys are gonna work, too!" He said, pointing at them all.
"Diane, you start by attracting us some customers, jumbo billboard girl!" He said, much to the joy of Diane before pointing at Naruto, Hawk, and Ban.
"And you three start by cooking up some tasty grub!" Hearing that, the three just look at each other.
"So, a pig, an ex-apprentice Holy Knight and a criminal preparing food together...that's seems, odd. Are you sure this is—" Naruto was cut off by Meliodas speaking without a care.
"Now to work! Put your backs into it, people!" Meliodas said, not caring what he thinks.
"Please give me a job, too!" Elizabeth asked the Sin who just smiles.
"Ok, you can—" He was cut off by Diane who grabs him so she could hug him into her cheek.
"Oh Captain, you made me the billboard girl! I'm so, so happy!" She said gratefully at the decision he made and was reassured by her that he made a good choice.
"Oh yeah, Ban the pantry—" He stops there just as they all noticed he was gone.
"That jerk!" Hawk shouts just as Naruto looked off into the distance, having this odd feeling as if there being watched before he just heads inside with the others but the moment he was about to enter, his body stopped his eyes narrowing as he felt killing intent somewhere out in the forest that surrounded them.
"If I can sense it, Meliodas must also know as well." He thought just before he walks inside the bar with the door closing behind him. Far out on a tree branch sat an armored figure who just stares at the Sins.
TEN MINUTES LATER AT THE BOAR HAT
"So, that's kinda creepy." Naruto muttered whine sitting next to Elizabeth who was in a little agreement.
"Ban, on the other trotter is an even bigger jerk than I thought." Hearing that, Naruto just nods in agreement.
"He is a Greedy Fox after all. So how were those two when it comes to them working together, hate or good friends?" Naruto asked the leader of the Sins.
"Well, they were always together but it could be that he was always cleaning up his messes but they did work together well." Just after saying that, Naruto's eyes widen and he turns much to Meliodas's surprise to see the look on his face.
"Something wrong?" Meliodas asked Naruto who stood up.
"Something's happening with Ban!" Hearing that had surprised him since he couldn't sense anything yet followed after him with Diane. Soon enough they were greeted with the sight of Ban fighting against a floating child with a spear and the fight ended there by Meliodas bopping Ban atop the head to stop him, even saying "Bad Ban" like he was an animal. With that, the two become in disagreement while Naruto just stares at the child just as Diane arrived.
"Hey, what's all the ruckus over here?" Diane questions the group just as she looks at King and her eyes widen in shock just like Meliodas's.
"KING!" The two shout simultaneously, shocked Ban and Naruto who thinks back to the picture of King from the posters then at the one before them.
"WHO THE HELL DESIGNS THESE WANTED POSTERS?!" Naruto shouts, finding this to be ridiculous and even Ban agrees.
"HOW ON EARTH IS HE THE FATASS?!" Ban demands there leader while pointing at him.
"Well...maybe he lost a little weight?" Meliodas said yet Naruto just shakes his head.
"WEIGHT?! IT LOOKS LIKE HE AGED BACKWARDS!" Naruto shouts at Meliodas who places a hand on his chin while the two just stare at there leader in disbelief at how he's not shocked but the moment Diane talked to King, he suddenly floated away from them all while they watched. In no time flat, they were all back at the Boar Hat with Ban serving food to two kids.
"Damn..." Naruto muttered with Hawk agreeing since the food in the table makes there look like crap.
"But we don't have any—" The kid was cut off by Ban.
"If you won't eat it, I'll give it all to the pig." Hearing that, the currently drooling Hawk started foaming from the mouth and immediately they start eating with Naruto forcefully pulling back the tearful Hawk.
"DON'T MAKE ME SUFFER, I JUST WANT A TASTE!" The tearful pig shouts in hunger while the kids congratulate him on the food. With that, Ban questioned the two more on the the area, it ending with the two disagreeing on if the child was King or not.
"So you guys are trying to get into the Necropolis, too?" Heading that has surprised them all.
"That boy from earlier cane with questions a few times, too. He said he wanted to reach Necropolis no matter what. He said he's been looking for a long time, too." Hearing that made Naruto suspicious on what was exactly there.
"It's actually nearby, the entrance to the Necropolis is in the hamlet. But it's not a place you can reach just because you want to." Hearing that, Naruto was confused by his words.
"Is it a grave that's normally hidden or something?" Meliodas questioned with confusion, only too be proven wrong by the kid.
"It's not a grave. They say the Necropolis is a land where people go when they die." Hearing that, Naruto was very much surprised at hearing such an answer with the others agreeing.
"Have you ever been there?" Ban questioned the two of them curiously.
"No! All that stuff is just superstition!" The boy said yet the girl spoke with knowledge.
"Precious memories shared with the dead will guide you to the capital. A traveling man said that to us just before he left but I can't exactly remember what his name was, I think it may have been Mer something." Hearing that had confused then even more.
"That tip just laid your meal and then some. Thanks, Elaine." Hearing that, Naruto felt something odd from Ban and just looks at him with his vision getting a little blurry after he saw Ban giving off a light blue aura before it disappears.
20 MINUTES LATER, OUTSIDE THE BOAR HAT
"Well this may not be easy." Muttered Naruto who was following after Ban next to Hawk while behind them was Elizabeth and Meliodas as well as Diane but as they were walking, Naruto was ignoring everything yet felt hatred and anger somewhere around them yet remained on guard but stops behind Ban who stood in the clearing. Naruto just stares at Ban, feeling sadness emanating from him.
"You ok?" Naruto asked the Sin who looks back at him just as the two noticed they were surrounded by flowers.
"When..." Naruto said with confusion while Diane calls for Elizabeth to come over here when she arrived behind Naruto and Hawk, with that they were all gathered.
"What kind of flowers are these?" Elizabeth asked with wonder yet Hawk just breaths on one, causing all of the flower petals too be blown into the air before they start swirling around them, creating a vortex all the while one kid telling them too be careful.
"WHAT IS THIS?!" Naruto shouts and just like that, not a moment later they all found themselves at an area called the Necropolis which surrounded them all with large green crystals. Seeing the place, Naruto just looks around with great surprise as he's never seen an area like it before yet it felt similar too Death's realm of Limbo.
"Is this...the Necropolis?" Naruto asked no one in particular just before Elizabeth spoke.
"Do you think it was my wish to meet my mother?" She asked with wonder just like Hawk who missed his food unlike Meliodas and Diane who drew a blank.
"What about you Naruto?" Meliodas asked to see he had a lost look in his eyes.
"I think, I've been here before?" When he said that, Meliodas's eyes just widen when he heard that but his attention was drawn back towards Ban who suddenly dashed off and after him, King too.
"That's King?" Said the surprised Meliodas which Elizabeth just agreeing yet curious how he got here.
"Captain, what do we do?" Diane asked while she was looking down at Meliodas.
"I guess we run after 'em for now." Meliodas said but just as Naruto was about to take a step forward he turns fast while having a serious expression upon his face, staring at the direction from behind them all which confuses them.
"You see something?" Meliodas asked just as Naruto points at something, causing them all too turn around yet they saw no one, that was until a moment latter an armored figure appeared. Seeing the figure alerted them all which all the Sin of Wrath did at first was look at Naruto with great confusion at how he knew the person was there.
"Oh, seems you detected me before I arrived...so you still have that ability." Hearing that, Naruto's eyes widen when he heard that.
"Wait, "still have that"...do you know who I am?" Naruto questions the armored figure that stood before them all.
"I'm guessing your a Holy Knight, mind telling me what your after?" Meliodas asked the figure yet the moment he did, that was when they all felt the sudden rise of a massive amount of bloodlust.
"Don't...YOU DARE SPEAK YOU DEMON!" Hearing that, Meliodas's eyes widen all the way before he took a stance while taking out his broken sword.
"HAWK, GET ELIZABETH OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!" Shouts the Sin of Wrath and hearing that, the knight grabs the handle of there sword and with it a powerful force slams into them all that starts pushing them back unlike Elizabeth and Hawk who were sent flying back by thankfully Diane caught them so she could place them on the ground.
"HAWK, DO AS HE SAYS!" Naruto shouts while looking down at the pig who nods.
"Will do! Hop on, Elizabeth!" The pig asks the princess who listens and gets in the pig just as he dashed off with Elizabeth.
"Please, be careful Naruto!" The Princess asked him which Naruto looks at Meliodas and his eyes widen to see black markings appearing on his skin, surprising not only him but Diane as well yet she just enters a fighting stance just like Naruto. Seeing this, the Knight points the sword right at Meliodas.
"I AM THE KNIGHT OF VENGEANCE, IN THE NAME OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND; I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN YOU ACCURSED DEMON AND THEN THE GODDESS WHORE!" Hearing that, Naruto's eyes widen as he got this odd feeling yet more so the enemy aims to kill the Princess
"This guys power is no joke, if we aren't careful it won't end well at all!" Meliodas said but he then heard Naruto speak.
"Actually, I think that's a "She"?" Hearing that, Meliodas showed surprise while glancing at Naruto before back at the armored figure.
