And we're back with the seventy-fourth annual hunger ga… OOPS! wrong fanfic. Anyway…. Welcome to next chapter of Hybrid's Game. And before we get off to the story… these few messages.
To razorwolf1998and many others… I do appreciate having a large number of reviews… however I prefer quality over quantity and I've already made it clear that neither Rias nor Akeno will be the stars of this particular harem. I've included a list of the no's and DEFINATLY NOTs in the last chapter. The (fisrt) chapter for all those who may have missed the message.
Please. NO others suggestions for girls who are already paired with someone else… Especially GRAYFIA. For Satan's sake! (quite literally ya know he her husband) THEY HAVE A KID DAMN IT!
WindyCitySlayer1: Damn it! –face-palms – NO UZUMAKI-CEST! Jeeze!? What is up with everyone and Naruto bagging his mom?! I know she's hot but I have three reasons for NO.
She's his mother
She's married to Minato
In canon she's actually dead
Oh! and a fourth reason…. There are plenty of other hot redheads if you must have him paired with one.
Zentari2238: Oh fine… Serafall gets a good spot, but she'll be slightly OOC. Can't have someone that ditzy paired with Naruto. Especially with how he is in this fic… Which is one of the main reasons why I'm extremely hesitant to make Xenovia part of the harem. Her personality is just… weird.
That's it for reader responses, but I fixed the names of Kalawarner and Rizevim in this chapter. I'll go back and do the same in the first one later. But no… I'm not calling the guy Rizevim Lucifer every time… especially since Sirzechs isn't called Sirzechs Lucifer every time. Lucifer is a family name and or a title. Not a second name.
And so without further ad –SMACK- "Get on with the story damn it!"
"-sniff- okay….."
(I don't own any part of Naruto or DxD)
Raynare moaned as sharp fangs slid slowly into her throat. Heat and pleasure, more than she could imagine… It washed through her, bringing a crimson blush to her cheeks as a hard body pressed against her, pinning her in place. She didn't fight back, only adjusting herself to be more comfortable. She wouldn't admit it… but this feeding felt almost as good as sex… which was great because her master was almost always thirsty.
Naruto pulled back, licking at the small wound to close it. His eyes, usually a crystal blue, were still the color of blood. The black slit pupil making him seem like a demon as he smirked.
"It's almost like you wanted me to bite you that time Ra-chan…" He growled slightly. "Could it be you're addicted to the feeling of being bitten?"
She didn't respond, but brought her hand to check the bite mark. Just like the last three times there was nothing there. His strange ability to mix different energies confounding her yet again. Raynare sighed and dropped her hands and looked into his eyes as they returned to the cerulean orbs of his human form.
"You're still not answering Ra-chan…" Naruto pushed forward again his fangs sinking into flesh again. She gasped as he sucked hard once before releasing her. "Well? This Uzumaki wants to know…."
"Yes… Okay! Now.. we have to get to class."
Naruto chuckled. "Now that just isn't true." He brought his face close to hers, showing off his still dangerously long fangs. "I have that little situation taken care of at the moment."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Simple." He grinned. "We are in class right now. You just don't know it."
Raynare blinked in confusion. "You set up an illusion? How? And won't the devils here notice?!"
"Come on. Don't you have any faith in me? If I can forcibly bind a Fallen angel to myself using only a bit of blood and magic… I think I can fool a few devils. Just because their related to the current Devil kings doesn't mean they can detect my magic. And besides… School is interesting and all, but we have business to attend to today. And since you are bound to me recently… it's better if you come with."
"Why did we…"
"Why did we go to school until lunch you mean? Only because I wanted to check up on a few… plans I have in motion. We're free to go now."
She blinked. "What plans?"
"For instance ruining that pretty boy Devil's reputation. I've been steadily making him look like a player by delivering forged letters to all of his biggest fangirls, having him accosted by random girls that are different every time. This last time I actually cast an illusion on him. He out right kissed one of them in class!" Naruto closed his eye remembering it. "Aw… that stunned hopeful look on her face was priceless. And his was like shock, confusion, and horror all rolled into one…"
"You're evil."
Naruto's lips twisted into a smirk. "Well I am the heir or Lucifer. Anyway, unless you really want me to drain every.. last.. drop of your blood, we should get going." He made it sound like he would be more than happy to do that… which he also was.
"Yo..you're right. Let's go."
"Then follow me."
Ooo
Ooo
Issei Hyodo was not happy. Why? You may ask this kind of question. Why would he not be happy when he, the self proclaimed greatest pervert alive, was being straddled by a girl? Well. It might have something to do with the fact that he a large glowing spear made of pure crackling energy sticking in his chest. And this… girl was currently twisting it cruelly.
"Ah poor human scum. I honestly thought you'd put up a fight, but it seems like you were just a tease. I didn't see any sign of that supposed sacred gear. And you're weak…" She pouted cutely. "Actually I should have dragged you back with me instead of killing you. Then I'd just take your sacred gear… what ever it is."
Issei screamed hollowly. The light spear was though one lung, making speech.. and even agonized shouts difficult.
"Wow.. You're one whiny human. I take back what I said about you being weak. If you still have enough in you to scream I'm impressed." She raised one finger to her chin in a pose of intense thought. "But now that I think about it, you're still pretty pathetic. When I asked you to come and help me I didn't even have to fake crying! You just followed like some lost puppy."
"B..bi..tch….."
"Ooh! Did I just hear that?! The human called me a bad name! I think the dirty human needs to be punished. You're obviously enjoying this too much."
Issei gasped as the spear was pulled free with a sick squelch and plunged back into his stomach, tearing though flesh with ease. Blood started to pour into his half cauterized lungs blocking further speaking completely
"Now…" Her voice went low, harsh. "You fucking human. You must have done something to Raynare. She was going to kill you this weekend… but you did something. She never came back after she was supposed to ask you out on that date. Dohnaseek and Kalawarner can't find her anywhere and it's all your fault."
She sneered and twisted the blade of light, angling it upward towards his heart. "Just die you filth… And then I can go finish looking for whatever is left of my friend."
Issei's mind clouded as he felt the blade leave him again. He knew he was bleeding out. His head fell to the side, his eyes catching on the spreading pool of blood under him. "Is this the end of me? I didn't even have a girlfriend…. I'm pathetic… just like she said…"
Ooo
Ooo
Standing in front of Naruto… naked, Raynare could only feel uncomfortable. She looked down at the floor as his eyes examined her closely. His eyebrows were furrowed as he took in every detail of her nude form. "Are you done yet?" She asked fidgeting. She didn't know why she was so shy around him at the moment. She was a Fallen Angel damn it! Her sin was lust! So why was she so awkward!?
"Not yet Ra-chan."
"And why do you call me Ra-chan? That's the name of an Egyptian god." She didn't know what to think of her nick name… or maybe it was a pet name? It was hard to tell sometimes how he thought of her. Scratch that. It was nigh impossible to understand how he thought period. He was smart, but didn't seem to care enough to use his intelligence… He was practical, but acted without thinking, seemingly on purpose and often did the opposite of what was needed simply because he thought it was more interesting.
Not to mention the mixed signals he kept sending her. Sometimes she felt like he cared for her… Even deeply. But just as often she felt every inch his servant. He moved around her like she was his, as if she belonged to him completely. To an extent that appeared possessive. Yet he also didn't care what she did in her free time, as long as it didn't damage him.
It was only a day and a half since she'd been… what was the description? Taken? She'd decided that it would be in her best interest to serve him, but she was conflicted now. How did he truly see her?
Raynare blinked as she realized that Naruto had completely ignored her question in favor of leaving the private room where they'd been. She huffed and looked around the room. It was a large dressing room in the back of a clothing store. They were in the Underworld, a place she'd only ventured once and not since she was a pure Angel. That was on a raid shortly before she'd fallen to her lust. She let out another long breath as she waited for her master to return. She sure wasn't leaving this room alone. There were Devils swarming around everywhere in this town. Literally. This was a Devil town.
They'd received quite a few odd and hostile looks from the locals… and many curious glances when they noted how subservient she was acting. Especially with her status as a fallen angel. Normally she wouldn't treat him with complete deference, but she decided that pride was best left in the mortal realm. If she wanted to be treated with any measure of fairness she needed to act as his servant. Otherwise… she had no guarantee that the Devils wouldn't try to do her harm.
A moment later Naruto returned with a few articles of clothing. She eyed them with a raised eyebrow. He met her gaze with a smirk as he placed them on the lone chair in the room.
"Am I wearing those outside?"
"Do you have a problem with that?"
She hesitated at his tone of voice. "Well, no. But I didn't think we were coming her so you could show me off in expensive lingerie."
"And you'd be right. Two of those are for home. The other one needs to be altered slightly before you wear it." He moved forward and grabbed her hand, pulling her into him. She attempted to reign in her instincts, but he had to go and bite at the nape of her neck, not piercing the skin but sending a jolt of pleasure down her spine.
Naruto growled. "Do you have any idea how much I enjoy the fact that you're regen factor prevents you from dying of blood loss? It's like a vampires dream come true." He stroked at her breasts as his lips brushed her skin again. "Just seeing you naked makes me very thirsty ya know…"
She went still as his mouth closed over skin and he bit deeply. Raynare strangled her moan before it could leap out of her mouth. What was he thinking? Doing this here was just asking for it. But he didn't seem to care and she was having a hard time resisting him, or her own impulses. While Naruto drank greedily she slowly lost the strength in her legs.
Raynare almost collapsed as he withdrew minutes later.
"Damn… you taste good…" He closed his eyes and leaned his head on hers. "All the stupid years drinking bloodpacks when I could have had fresh blood…"
"You almost sound annoyed."
"But I am." He moved back, still holding her while she regained her strength. "It's so hard not to take everything and more… You can't imagine how amazing it is. You know, traditionally, royal vampires took everything from their victims, killing them in the process of feeding."
Raynare glanced to him as he helped her to the chair where she sat down. "Why?"
"Because." His expression turned predatory. "Trying to tell a royal vampire to stop drinking when he or she didn't want to…. would be as pointless ordering a human to stop breathing. And even if you could do it, it would be just as deadly. You're lucky that vampires of my generation have a lot more restraint than our ancestors."
His fangs glinted in the overhead light. "Otherwise you'd have been dead the first time we met."
A shiver went down her back as he straightened. "Now. You get dressed in the blue and silver dress. When you're done we can head out.
"Where exactly are we going?" she asked curious.
"To visit a nice young devil." His eyes flashed red. "Or more precisely you're going to be visiting a nice young devil. I'll be doing… other things."
Ooo
-hours later-
Ooo
Diodora Astaroth was, by far, the most kind and helpful devil Raynare had ever encountered…. Only extreme caution and many warnings allowed her to sense the underlying wrongness that the young Devil exuded. He was… corrupt, evil, and sick in every sense of the word. However, if she hadn't known Naruto and had met the Astaroth heir she would have proclaimed him to be the kindest, most generous devil in all the underworld.
Truly Naruto was a breed apart for being able to see past the impressive façade.
"I must say Raynare-san. I was surprised that you knew who had supplied the information on the nun's location. I thought my part was anonymous." Diodora smiled winningly even though they both knew he was less surprised and more horrified. While they spoke politely they both knew, though her knowledge was only recently acquired, that he was much less benevolent then he made himself out to be.
"Pardon me for saying so my lord…" She mentally thanked Kalawarner for drilling this sort of servile manner into her as she gave a deep bow. "…however both myself and those who serve under me are much better informed than most believe. Knowledge and rank are neither inclusive nor exclusive of each other. And we would be poor servants if we didn't know our employer."
"Indeed." Was all he said as they walked down a long hall to his personal chambers. "But correct me if I'm wrong Raynare-san, but she isn't due to arrive for a few days."
"That is true my lord, however it was… Dohnaseek who mentioned that we had no way of contacting you or letting you know when we had completed our assigned task. Knowing your… enjoyment in such things we thought it unwise to kill the girl until we were sure of your wishes. Having never heard from you personally we couldn't know if your orders had been changed in passing to us."
He seemed to consider this for several moments, his expression hardly changing. Then he appeared to realize something.
"Wait. You said that she wasn't due for days… yet you were questioning your ability to get in touch? Does that mean she came early?!"
Raynare nodded, continuing the lies that Naruto had instructed her to use. He wanted her to play him out on a string for as long as possible. And if she could, get him alone in his private rooms. She didn't know why this was important, butapparently it was.
Diodora looked excited at this change in plans as he continued to look at the floor in front of them as they walked. Both of them were almost to the large double doors that stood between them and his rooms by the time he looked up.
"Tell me… what is she like?"
Raynare blinked and looked away as if thinking. That was one thing Naruto didn't know and therefore couldn't coach her on. However she had been an angle once and knew her fair share about nuns.
"She is very… reserved, and calm. Innocent to a fault. She wouldn't know evil if it bit her. And she's quite devoted."
"Really?!" A barely disguised and highly unpleasant chuckle escaped him before he regained his composer. "Yes… that is quite excellent. I will enjoy this even more than I anticipated. Has she kept her long hair?"
The question wasn't probing. Raynare guessed that he was far too caught up in his perverted fantasies to care about discretion. She answered in what she thought would be the most desirable fashion. Naruto commanded that the Devil be kept in good spirits and so she would tell him whatever she thought he wanted to hear.
"It's nearly to her rear at this point."
"And still blond? She hasn't dyed her hair?!"
A crazed look had entered his eye, making her shift uncomfortably as the double doors opened in front of them. Raynare was struggling to reign in her distaste at this point. The young devil was drooling. She gagged inwardly thinking, "He's disgusting. I'd rather bathe in shit than let this twisted man touch me."
"As blond as spun gold my lord."
His eyes snapped to the side. "Perfect… Not that I mind darker hair, but only two of my girls are blond you must understand. And none have such beautiful hair as she. As a matter of fact… yours is very nice." Diodora's eyes acquired a gleam that made her skin crawl. "Since you are… serving me, why don't you help your master? My servants are all off on assignments at the moment. Usually I would keep at least one of them back for entertainment, but alas duties precede pleasure…"
She was unable to repress her frown at his crude and thinly veiled request. Naruto hadn't mentioned anything about this. She suspected that he wouldn't have sent her in alone if he knew the Astaroth heir would try to come on to her. And that made for problems. He was a high devil, as young as he was, and he wouldn't take kindly to being denied. Unless…. "Unless he has proper incentive to keep his hands off me. He isn't stupid. The fact that he came up with this plan in the first place proves that he has at least some intelligence."
"I.. must apologize my Lord." She flicked her eyes to the side as she bowed deeply. She was in his room, just as Naruto wanted. "What now Naruto-sama?" Raynare straightened and spoke coolly, hoping he would buy her excuse. "I must decline your offer… You see I am working for your lordship, however I belong to another. My body is his only."
She bowed again, somewhat stiffly as he frowned.
"A Devil? How unfortunate. I could show you such a good time. Surely he isn't someone too important."
"But he is. A thousand apologies, but he is above yourself in rank." It was true. Naruto was the heir of Lucifer and therefore above even the four devil kings in rank… so she felt it was quite safe to say he was above the Devil standing before her.
"That's highly unlikely. You know who I am. I am the heir of the Astaroth house. Unless you serve a head of one of the devil houses I don't see how you could." Raynare noted that he sounded highly miffed, if uneasy.
"Ah… but you see, she does serve someone higher than you. And technically I AM the head of a devil house."
Both Raynare and Diodora snapped their heads in the direction of the voice, only to see… Naruto. He was standing in the open door to Diodora's private rooms. With a bang both doors slammed shut and the magical sealing array activated, locking all of them inside. Naruto smirked as he stepped forward keeping his eyes locked on his fellow devil.
"Well now Dio-san. You must be feeling a bit puzzled right now." Naruto chuckled darkly as Diodora stepped backwards.
"You… YOU! You're the one that they wanted to absorb the energy from that girl! You're Rizevim's nephew! What are you doing here?!"
Naruto paused and struck a thinker's pose. "Allow me to en-lighten you Diodora. I am here to kill you. Do try not to run. I might miss and end up making a big mess before connecting."
The Astaroth's expression perfectly matched Raynare's as he turned to run.
Naruto calmly raised his arms, hands directed at him with fingers curled like claws. Then the entire room was lit up with blinding light as jagged violet lighting shot from his fingertips and tore past the fleeing devil. Diodora turned at the last moment as Naruto adjusted his aim. Suddenly there was a violent hum filling the air as a green barrier interposed it's self between them.
The next bolt of lightning dissipated into sparks as it hit the livid green magic circle. Diodora laughed. "HA! I have power now too! It just takes a second to draw on. You won't defeat me that easy. My power comes directly from Rizevim!"
"Don't be full of yourself you sick retard." Naruto spat as he vanished into thin air.
"FUCK!?" Diodora screamed as lightning crashed into his back, burning a great swath of devastation through him and almost cutting him in half. However at the last second he flung his arm out straight, launching a green ball of compressed energy. It buzzed towards Naruto, who…. smirking again, caught it on his open palm.
"Maelstrom Absorption, Draining touch."
As they watched the green sphere increased in size till it was half as wide as he was tall. Then it rapidly shrank, seeming to be siphoned off into emerald streams of energy which wrapped around Naruto, sinking into his skin. A second later it was gone and Naruto's eyes had gone completely black, his skin bleaching to a pallor close to parchment. His smirk morphed into a grin, showing off his razor sharp fangs.
Diodora watched as he collapsed to the ground. His own skin pale as death.
"How….?"
Naruto didn't respond for a moment. His black eyes closed for a moment before opening. The obsidian color faded back to blue. "I recognize this power. This comes from Orphis. Pity there's so little. If there was a little more I could work it into my natural chakra reserves. Then I could have a pool of draconic magic to use as I pleased…" He sighed. "Well, you win some and you lose some. And you, my foul Devil friend, need to realize that all those creatures you helped the Chaos Brigade capture were brought to me… and every drop of power or magical energy was taken. I still hold the vast majority of it within me. So even if I couldn't absorb Orphis's power, I could still win out against it. Now I really would prefer if you die. I'm tired of this super villain monologue."
Naruto's hands rose again and the violet lightning cracked across the space separating them, tearing and ripping Diodora apart. As he screamed smoke and steam drifted into the air above him, signaling his death. And as a last hurrah, Naruto turned his corpse to ash with a blast of concentrated light energy.
Raynare watched in silence as the Devil heir to the Astaroth family was reduced to dust and his killer smiled at the murder he'd committed.
"Well, that was easy. And here I thought he might actually try to use his own magic. I guess he was just too weak without the help." He shrugged as if it was slightly disappointing, but not damaging. "Anyway, we need to go before someone shows up. So much holy energy being thrown around will not go unnoticed. Besides our absence at school will be noted soon."
"What?! How? WHY?!" Raynare shouted, only to find herself being pulled into a tight embrace. Then quite suddenly everything went black.
Before she could so much as blink she found herself standing with Naruto in the school equipment storage room. She looked around as Naruto sniffed appreciatively at her neck. He muttered something along the lines of, "I'll never get tired of this scent…" and at last pulled away.
"How are we feeling Ra-chan?"
She spluttered, "YOU!? You killed a high Devil in his own home! Are you insane?! And you… you had me there! Someone is going to recognize what happened?!"
"No they won't." He smoothed a hand over her bare shoulder, comforting her. "Listen. Everything I do… I do for a reason. It might not always be a good reason, or one you agree with, but I'll always have one." Naruto's head tilted to the side as if rethinking that statement. "Then again I sometimes do things for no reason… for a reason. So depending on how you look at it everything I do could be considered perfectly random."
He shook his head. "Anyway the point is this. His death and the way he died served several purposes that benefit the both of us."
"What purposes? Explain."
"Okay. First and foremost for you he was your client for the nun job. It was his actions which led to you coming here and becoming involved in recent events. He was the root cause of this entire situation… excluding my involvement."
She nodded.
"Now consider this from my perspective. I came here wanting to hide out and not cause any big waves. The risk of being found out was too high if I made a commotion and I can't reveal myself until I have some allies. Diodora's plan was to have you Fallen kill a well known nun and the holder of a powerful sacred gear. How do you think that would be received in a Devil run town? Let me put it this way. It would cause a big wave. Especially with two heirs to prominent families living in the area. And my family would have immediately linked this to my recent disappearance because of my tendency to cause trouble. They would have come to investigate and while I'm confident they couldn't find me, they would be too close for comfort."
Naruto saw her nod in understanding again. He smiled and, using one finger that was suddenly tipped with a sharp claw, he cut the straps on her dress. It fell to the floor leaving her almost naked. "OK, furthermore. That bastard was a member of Chaos Brigade, a terrorist organization that seeks to restore the old devil kings to power and restart the endless war between the three factions. My killing him was a favor to the world… and besides. He was a scumbag who takes sick pleasure out of destroying innocent girls and turning them into mindless sex slaves."
"That isn't something I'm fond of doing, nor do I care for those who do it themselves. It' disgusting and only proves that you're too weak to demand respect as you are. Anyone who has to butcher another's mind to gain obedience doesn't deserve power in the first place." He frowned dangerously. "Which is why I hate my uncle and the rest of the assholes he calls devil kings."
Naruto raised his arms and bit his thumb, drawing blood over the inside of his wrist. A second later there was a plume of smoke and a neatly folded stack of clothing appeared. Raynare recognized it as her school uniform.
At his look she sighed and drew in her wings, shifting into her human form and completely masking her Fallen powers. She felt the familiar tightness in her breasts and stomach and legs.
"I hate this form." She whined.
"On the contrary… It's very cute. I just want to bite you so bad right now…. You should probably get dressed before I decide to sate my thirst again. Using that Fallen lightning wasn't easy."
She took the clothes from him and dressed as she asked, "So why did you want me to do that whole run around thing with him?"
"Oh that… The thing is that the death of a Devil from an important house causes even bigger waves than a known Sacred gear user disappearing. So I needed some way of framing someone else… while not causing a faction war or huge battle to break out over it. I told you to go in there dressed as a powerful fallen might… I cast an illusion on you by the way. It made it look like you had six wings instead of two."
Raynare's eyes widened. "That's why he looked so shocked when he first saw me."
"Correct. And he assumed that you were a lot more powerful than he first thought. But that's beside the point. It wasn't really for his benefit. Really it was about everyone else. They didn't see my sweet Raynare walking up to speak with Diodora. They saw a powerful and unknown Fallen woman visiting a Devil Lord for some undisclosed reason, which I might add, will cast him in a very bad light."
She accepted that as true. Pureblood devils rarely associated with Fallen unless they were killing them.
"As I said this would reflect badly on him so he would quickly try to make things more confined and private. So he took you deep into his home to his chambers where I was able to kill him away from prying eyes. Plus I used all the Fallen magic I've taken from drinking your blood and used lightning to fry him to death. This helps in several ways. First it completely eliminates suspicion of you. As a single tier Fallen angel you aren't powerful enough to kill a high devil with pure lightning. Second it puts the blame on some random female high ranked fallen… of which there are very few."
Naruto put his hands together and as smoke enveloped him, leaving him wearing the school uniform as well.
"You can probably guess that most if not all of the high ranked female fallen are going to have some proof of being elsewhere at the time, thus…. Everyone will assume that it was a rogue Fallen with a grudge against the Astaroth house. This draws even more attention away from me and my involvement because I had enough time to sneak past all of his defenses without leaving a trace or harming any guards. In effect we have our perfect assassination with no possibility of being caught. Even if they did somehow suspect two high school students like us, we were in school the whole time. And Rias Gremory as well as Sona Sitri would be able to attest to that."
He pulled his fingers though his spiky blond hair. "So to cap it all off. I stay hidden, get a chance to save a innocent girl from a horrible fate, kill a evil bastard who badly needed axing, and I got two sexy costumes for my Fallen angel girlfriend to wear."
"G…girl..friend…?!"
Naruto raised an eyebrow and pressed forward till his lips were right in her ear. "Do you object? Our bond is still fresh and we'll need to stay fairly close to each other for at least a week before it's safe to stray apart. That means at school we'll be together often… I think it's best if we have a good cover don't you?" He nibbled her ear as his hands found her nipples through the fabric of her uniform. "Besides you are my little blood raven. If you're my girlfriend it'll be hard to question us if I decided to…. kiss… that graceful neck of yours."
She gasped and murmured ascent before letting him pull her into him, his lips touching down the side of her neck before sinking in.
"Fuck…. Naru… to…"
She moaned and let him drink to his heart's content, savoring the pleasure that danced though her system. It was almost ten minutes before he let her go.
"Come one Ra-chan. Let's go to class."
"Oh… okay Naruto-sama….."
Ooo
Ooo
"What do you mean it wasn't there?!"
"That's exactly what I said. I went back to dispose of the body and it was gone. There was just this big blood stain and nothing else, like he got bored bleeding out and decided to head home!"
Kalawarner and Mittelt looked at each other. Issei Hyodo's corpse was gone. The bastard boy with the sacred gear had disappeared… after being stabbed three times. Once through each lung and then in the heart. How he was suppose to do anything other than die? They had no idea. But he went somewhere and that meant they were in trouble. As of yet they hadn't revealed their location, but there were two strong peerages in town and either one could discover them with relative ease. That's why they'd been relying on Raynare to kill him. She'd been at this longer than anyone, besides Dohnaseek, but he was a crazy bastard with no subtly.
Raynare had tact and didn't kill without being fairly sure that the opportune moment had arrived. The rest of them wouldn't have waited until that weekend to kill him.
She herself was more of an "eliminate threats as they appear" kind of girl. Mittelt was impatient, which was more than sufficiently proven when she killed him days ahead of schedule. Or she thought she'd killed him. That misconception being part of the problem.
"So what do we do about this? It's obvious he can access his sacred gear…. Whatever it is. Otherwise he'd be a corpse." Dohnaseek spoke from where he leaned against one wall of the church. "I suppose it's possible that he was resurrected as a devil, but it seems highly unlikely that they would let him die as opposed to converting him as a living being."
Kalawarner and Mittelt nodded in understanding. The evil piece system, which devils used to resurrect another being as a devil didn't need to be used on a dead person. In fact it worked far better on the living. They would know since both Fallen and pure Angels also used their own versions of the system. That being said, both were far less effective than the Devils magic. For Angels they could only make an angel out of a living being and even then they had to be "pure of heart". Fallen could resurrect the dead with theirs but there was always a chance that the corpse would absorb the piece and remain a corpse…. A Fallen corpse, but a corpse none the less.
"They might have been following him and saw me attack," Mittelt pondered. "Then they could have come in and rescued him as I left in disgust. If there were more than one… half could have saved his miserable life while the other followed me here…"
"That's foolish. We'd all know if there were devils in the vicinity. This location is still secure… for what it's worth. Dohnaseeek growled. "We need to find out what happen to him. He was a possible threat. Now he's a gaping hole in our security."
Mittelt agreed. "Yep… so that means that we'll have to get close to him, but I can't do it. I'm the one who attacked him!"
"And I'm out of the question. I'm too old and I don't have any skill with illusions. There is also the issue of my hatred of devils. I doubt I could restrain the urge to attack one of them in that school of theirs."
Kalawarner sighed. "I get it… I'm the only option." She grumbled, pulling her fingers through her long blue hair in an agitated way. "Still, I don't like the idea of getting close to that boy. From what Raynare said he's a complete pervert."
A throaty laugh came from Dohnaseek. "Oh! I forgot you're like the only female fallen I know who's great sin wasn't lust. Wasn't you're sloth?"
She frowned and her shoulders dropped as she thought, "No… It was envy you ass."
"This is so troublesome."
"Don't complain. You volunteered for this mission remember."
"Yeah, but only because Raynare was my friend. We both served under the same master for the last fifty years." She sighed again, wishing she could just escape from all this and get Raynare back. "I'll infiltrate the school and find out what happened to her target. You two don't do anything reckless while I'm gone."
"Got it."
"You be careful now…"
Ooo
Ooo
After school ended Naruto and Raynare returned to his apartment. Both of them were a bit on edge. Her because every devil in the school seemed to be missing from class. From the fiery red head Rias to the now elusive Kiba. And in addition to that… the pervert was gone. Issei, her target had disappeared and hadn't been seen all day. Naruto hadn't noticed since he was in the year above him. Raynare told him once they left home and Naruto went over the situation with her. He believed that Rias had made her move to claim the Sacred gear user.
Raynare agreed, but still didn't know why Naruto cared. Rias Gremory claiming a human in her own territory was hardly going to draw attention. But Naruto was still every bit as uneasy as her.
Both of them entered the living room of his apartment and Naruto disappeared in a plume of smoke. When it was gone he was wearing black sweat pants and an orange T-shirt. He glanced back at her once before collapsing onto the single couch. She watched as he made a strange handsign.
Her mouth opened to ask when a loud pop echoed in her ears and a low table appeared in front of the couch. Naruto put his feet up on it while he leaned back. His tense muscles relaxed visibly as he let out a long breath.
"You alright Naruto?"
"Yeah… but my instincts are telling me that something bad is happening ya know. And I'm seldom wrong when it comes to my urges."
She nodded and began to disrobe. Naruto's eyes shifted toward her to watch as she stripped naked. She did her best to ignore his gaze even though it did give her a rather nice ego boost. To have a young man who basically equaled a prince ogling her was pretty cool. Raynare moved to her room (read Naruto's room) and grabbed a more casual outfit. Naruto had mentioned that he had a slight school girl fetish… but admitted that his fetish for half naked Fallen angels was greater.
"Hey Ra-chan! I just thought of something!"
"Coming!" She moved back into the living room, pulling down her top as she did so. When Naruto caught sight of her again he stopped whatever he was about to say in favor of checking her new outfit. She blushed. She was wearing a cut off white T-shirt which stopped just short of the bottoms of her breasts, giving him a tantalizing view of the pale globes. At the same time she was wearing white lace panties that barely covered anything. Her toned stomach and long legs were uncovered revealing a wealth of white skin.
Naruto blinked. "Has anyone ever mentioned that a girl isn't at her most attractive while naked? For some reason wearing certain clothes makes the body more sexy" His face flushed slightly. "Come here already…"
She stepped over to the couch and sat close to him, crossing her arms under her breasts as she did so. "So um… what was this idea you just had?"
"I'll tell you in a minute. You're too… good like that."
"Wha?...Ah!..." Raynare gasped as he pulled her into his lap, already pushing his face into the crook of her neck. Pain bit for a second before pleasure overwhelmed her. His hands worked over her belly, slipping up till he brushed the undersides of her breasts. "Na…ruto…" She moaned as his hands… his fingers pressed into the soft flesh, kneading them. His fangs pulled free of her neck before plunging back in… lower and more towards her throat.
She felt him pinching her nipples as something hard twitched under her. Raynare's pulse sped up and slowed down alternately as her regeneration factor struggled to keep up with his rate of consumption. He was taking so much it made her dizzy even as she almost orgasmed from pleasure.
Naruto's hands wandered over her chest touching and scratching, setting off a burn in her crotch. It traveled up her spine, overpowering the drain on her blood and making her heart beat a mile a minute. She moaned as she pulled free of Naruto, turning around to straddle him. Her body wanted him. Wanted him to ravish her. All of her instinct as a Fallen forced her to act.
He growled as she deprived him of her blood… which was now streaming from the wound just below her chin. His red eyes focused on her artery, pulsing strong. He reached for her, to pull her towards him, but instead of her throat, he was greeted by soft lips. Raynare kissed him hard, passionately, her hands busy tearing his shirt off as she grinded down on his lap. Naruto only hesitated for a moment before twisting her to the side, making her fall off him.
He fell on top of her in a flash, his mouth already at her throat, sucking her lifeblood. She arched into him moaning past his ear which had become slightly pointed. Her hands were busy again trying to tear his shirt off. The material pulled apart under her superhuman strength and her fingers splayed over his chest. She barely registered his exquisitely defined muscles before he'd torn her own shirt away, revealing her breasts.
A whimper escaped her as he pulled away from her neck. His head ducked and he shifted lower. Raynare raised her head to see what he was doing… only for it to fall back with a scream as he bit deeply… The pain of it wiped her mind blank for a moment… Then he sucked. Raynare's back instantly arched again pushing her breasts into his face as he bit down harder, sucking on her nipple… drinking blood instead of milk.
Naruto let go again only to bite her again and again… trailing back up… over the slopes of her breasts and to her collar bone, to the very center of her throat. He stopped there licking slowly at her chin.
She managed to look up into his eyes. The crimson was gone, revealing not blue… but deep violet, similar to her own. "You… are… mine…" His growl sounded in her ears and sent shivers through her. Her toes curled in pleasure and her head fell back. Naruto purred deep in his chest, dipping his head to bite. As his fangs pushed into the tender meat of her throat she felt her skin burn. Pain traced a ring around her neck, drawing a pained whimper.
Naruto's hands drew downward then. She felt him pull back, easing his fangs out of her as his fingers caught the hem of her panties. Their eyes met again as he purred. "You don't need these." With a short snap he removed them and tossed them away.
"Will you please… I want it…."
He nodded. "Of course… but…" Naruto's pupils expanded, drawing her in as he leaned forward. "…Don't expect me to be gentle."
Her reply was cut off as he kissed her, at the same time digging his fingers into the soft meat of her thighs. She returned it, pushing her tongue into his mouth. He bit it, drawing blood. Her eyes closed as he sucked on her pink tongue, turning it into a blood filled French. Naruto chuckled inwardly. "Raynare… You are my first mate… I'll give you a treat you won't soon forget…"
Ooo
-the next morning-
Ooo
Kalawarner walked along the hallway following in the wake of a young human man. Supposedly he was the main homeroom teacher for the highschool. And he was also one of the most unwary humans she'd even encountered. As it was she'd always had a few problems with disguising her aura enough to stay completely hidden… but she was ten times as skilled as Dohnaseek when it came to stealth and infiltration. And of course Mittelt couldn't exactly get close to someone who'd she attempted to murder. Yet this man couldn't even sense her "wrongness".
She let out a sigh.
"A bit nervous I take it? Well don't worry. This year we've had several transfer students. They're all fitting in fine. I'm sure they'll welcome you in no time." Kalawarner blinked at the man's reassurance. She didn't know why… and it was quite disturbing, but she actually felt a little better.
"Must be having a mental breakdown with Raynare gone." She grumbled something along the lines of, "I'll believe it when I see it." A few minutes of walking later she was led into the third year classroom that would be her home room. The instant she entered she felt the pull of several presences. While she was bad at disguising herself… she was talented at sensing others. And there were half a dozen devils just in this room.
Her eyes marked each of them quickly… and sent a shiver of fear up her spine. Both of the Devil heirs were in this class. The beautiful Rias Gremory sat in the middle let of the class room giving her an inquisitive look even as her eyes shifted to a blond boy on the other side of the class. Close to her was Rias's Queen who Kalawarner recognized as the one they'd been advised against approaching in any way. She didn't look that bad…
Also in the room were Sona Sitri and her queen, both of which were barely paying attention to her. They were focused inwards at the moment. Probably thinking about the issue with the Fallen in the area.
Kalawarner let out a sigh of relief. None of the devils seemed to notice her either. "Must be the most inexperienced devils I've ever encountered. I guess all that time with Raynare helped." She glanced at the rest of the student's her gaze lingering on the blond boy who held the Gremory's attention. She admitted to herself that he was handsome, with blond hair and sapphire eyes, tanned skin and a mischievous smile.
He… was looking at her… directly at her.
She shivered again, her unease coming back full force. She quickly averted her eyes and scanned the rest of the room. Beside her Iruka started to introduce her to the class. She however… had stopped dead, her jaw dropping and her eyes widening. She let her shock radiate out for a full ten seconds before she gasped and shrieked.
"RAYNARE?!"
Ooo
Raynare shifted uncomfortable in her seat. Naruto was on the other side of the class room… much to her displeasure. After… last night… she didn't have the will power to keep her eyes of him. After all, how often does a discarded Fallen angel get taken as the first mate of a Devil/vampire prince? And… after six hours of the best sex she'd ever dreamed of… she was still sore. It almost seemed too good to be true. She'd been confused about her place in the world before then. She wondered what her true role was. She was his servant and prey to a certain extent. He'd obvious had some kind of attachment to her, but now…?
Now she had no doubts about where her place was. Naruto explained most of it to her after he'd settled down. He decided that he would take her as his mate… As it turned out that required an explanation in and of its self. He told her that the heirs of Lucifer were chosen by the amount of "true devil" power they inherited. Publicly his uncle Rizevim held the title of Lucifer's heir, but it was only because no others had bothered to take the title away. As it was now anyone who took the title from Rizevim would then be targeted by the other heirs.
Everyone knew that his mother was the strongest heir… since there were few who actually knew he existed. The fact that he was a hybrid wouldn't go over well with most of them. The point, as he tried to make, was that he was the strongest heir and thus… at any time… could basically tell Rizevim to scram. And if the old man didn't relinquish the "throne" then the other heirs were obligated by blood to hunt him down and kill him.
Raynare asked why he hadn't done it yet. She didn't expect the answer he gave.
Naruto explained that the true Devil king was allowed five wives. And the rest were only allowed as concubines. As the newly recognized heir he would almost certainly be bombarded with marriage proposals from all and sundry. He despised the idea of a forced marriage after being locked up in the family castle and forced to help in Rizevim's schemes for so long.
Basically he had a VERY long bucket list of things he wanted to do before he took the throne for himself and was locked down. Primarily he wanted to take his first five mates before any marriage could be forced on him, destroy the old Satan faction of the Chaos Brigade, and make an alliance with an old friend of his from the Norse mythos.
He didn't mention who it was. …but she had a sneaking suspicion.
But all of that aside…. She, a Fallen angel had been handpicked to be…. "Queen" of the Devils. On one hand she wasn't exactly pleased that this would come with a huge host of responsibilities in the future… but, Naruto was hers. She couldn't describe how amazing it felt to have him tell her that she would stay by his side forever. It might have helped that she had been coming down from a truly spectacular orgasm at the time.
She snapped herself out of her personal thoughts long enough to become aware of the hot ache between her legs. She glanced back at Naruto only to see his gaze drawn away from her and to….
Raynare's heart nearly stopped as she met the shocked gaze of none other than Kalawarner.
"RAYNARE?!"
"Shit."
She hurriedly looked to Naruto who was still looking at her, but his expression was confused. Raynare realized that he was playing the dumb student. He glanced over at her and she felt her throat burn ever so slightly. Naruto's emotions gradually leaked in through the "mark" he'd placed on her the night before. He was urging her to be calm. She could tell that much from the soothing sensation he instilled through the link.
"Uh… hi… It's been a while.. You forgot my name huh?"
Kalawarner blinked through her shock and apparently realized that she was making a serious scene now. And all the devils in the room were watching either her or Raynare. She dropped her head. "Sorry… I forgot…" She searched wildly trying to remember the false name she'd been using. "Um… Yuuma…?"
"Yeah…. Wanna talk after lunch? I'm sure there's a lot to catch up on."
The older Fallen looked at Raynare for a moment before collecting herself. "Ok. Sure! That'll be great."
Ooo
Sona's eyes narrowed. She felt something off about the new girl just then. And that name… Raynare. Had she heard it before? It did have a familiar ring to it that she couldn't place. But apparently it was also the wrong name… or perhaps a nickname.
All the same it put her on edge. Even more on edge with the fact that Rias's target for her peerage had been attacked and killed by Fallen inside the town. That alone was quite enough to make her unhappy. Now the little things were just piling up. Sona didn't like it when things piled up.
For instance… That was what? Six transfer students this year when, in the last three, there had only been one. First there was the girl who'd transferred into the first year's class and had the strange pupilless eyes that freaked everyone out in class.
Then there was her sibling, older by a few years… but only a year above her, who had the same seemingly blind appearance. Follow that up with the Yokai girl who'd transferred without warning even though all supernatural students were supposed to clear their identities with her first before coming to class…
Then there was Naruto, who she suspected was a half blood. No one just had fangs like he did… Not to mention he never seemed very fond of "human" food. About the only time she'd ever seen him relish the taste of something was the apples which he seemed to produce from thin air at the oddest times. That, in and of its self was weird enough, but the apples were always perfect andalways that bright iridescent red. She didn't know why but that sharp crunching sound always sent a little chill up her spine.
-CRUNCH!-
Sona jumped in her seat, turning her head to see Naruto leaning back in his chair with a…. why of course… A large apple, now with a single bite missing.
His blue eyes fell to the side in a lazy manner which only made his devious smirk seem more devilish. The very tips of his fangs poked out from his lip giving him the classic, "seductive vampire" look which all the girls were prone to go crazy over. He met her eyes for a moment before looking back to the new transfer student.
Sona shivered silently and glanced back at the Yuuma girl. She was another oddity. She'd shown up about three weeks ago and enrolled in the school. She never got bad grades… but never had any A's either. She was beautiful in the usual cute school girl way with long black hair and light violet eyes. She also tended to seem a bit shy…. More so recently. However that wasn't what made her strange. It was the fact that Sona knew she wasn't normal. There was just something different about her which practically shouted scared gear.
At first she'd been tempted to recruit her along with Saji, but after she discovered what sacred gear her pawn had, she'd all but forgotten the reclusive girl. Now though… there was more evidence that something odd was going on.
Seeing how Yuuma had seemingly skipped a grade between one day and the next. She used to be in the second year class room with Saji and Rias's new pawn. But now she was in the third year class… And it happened on the same day Rias's new pawn was attacked. Such a coincidence would have normally thrown her in the harsh light of suspicion, but "Issei" (read, the pervert) had told them it was a little blond Fallen who'd killed him. Although he never used words like killed or murdered when in relation to himself.
All the same… there were too many unknowns that she wasn't aware of. "I'll have Tsubaki or maybe Saji follow them when they talk later. I have a feeling that whatever it is… I'll want to know.
-CRUNCH!-
"Damn I hate apples…"
Ooo
Ooo
After the class ended it was time for science. However there was a fifteen minute break in between classes. And as soon as she left the class room, Raynare found herself being pulled along by Kalawarner. Her old friend ignored the other students as she half guided half dragged her down the hallway and two fights of stairs. Once on the ground floor Raynare realized she was being pulled outside.
"Hey!? Where are we going?!"
"School supply building. I found it unlocked when I scouted the school earlier. Someone cleaned up the inside. It smelled a bit like blood inside so I figure that there must be some stupid hazing ceremony for one of these human clubs." She sounded disgusted by the thought.
Raynare's mind raced. She didn't know what to tell her old friend. Kalawarner had been there on dozens of missions and assignments. They'd both had the same masters time and time again. And unlike most fallen whose primary sins were different, Kalawarner had always been nice to her. Despite the fact that her sin was Envy instead of lust.
She gasped as she saw the storage shed that Kalawarner was making a bee line for. It was the same place Naruto's had cleaned out and sealed so that normal humans didn't go near it, but supernatural being wouldn't notice anything was off. It was where he took her when he was thirsty between classes or he needed to talk to her about something.
The door was wrenched open and Raynare was dragged inside. This was followed by a sliding bang as a small metal bar was drawn over the inside of the door. Then Kalawarner turned to her, worry, anger, and fear in her eyes.
"Raynare… what.. WHY!? Why are you at this school?! You were supposed to ask your target out on a date and kill him, not vanish into the ether! I was worried sick that the little shit activated his sacred gear somehow and killed you!"
"I uh…" She looked down, not feeling up to answering her friend. "It's complicated I guess."
"I guess?! Explain 'I guess'!"
She sighed. "It was the evening after school when I was going to make contact with the target the first time. I had it all planned out just like I said. But when I was just about to start, I was um…. kidnapped."
Kalawarner's eyes bugged out. "WHAT?!"
Raynare shushed her hurriedly. "Keep it down. Do you have any idea how many devils there are in this school? And there's yokai as well. Plus you already made a scene in class. We don't need them hearing us. Especially since you went and failed to kill the target after all that."
"That's not important Raynare! Tell me… if not as a teammate.. then as a friend. Why in the seven heavens or all nine hells did you go missing and not tell anyone?! Kidnapping only goes so far even if I believed you. You aren't that kind of person. If you were really trapped then you would be making a scene yourself, not sitting meekly in a class room with a bunch of devils."
Doubt gnawed at Raynare as she considered whether she could tell her old friend about Naruto… Would he feel betrayed even after making her his mate? Would he be furious that she'd gone and compromised him? She just didn't know!
"It's okay. Go ahead."
Raynare's eyes widened as the barest whisper found its way into her ear. She realized with amazement that Naruto was right next to her, leaning in close to answer her unasked question.
"Tell her what you want. Try to bring her into the fold if you can. I don't want to hurt a friend of yours… but there's a devil coming this way…. Probably to eves drop. I have to take care of her. But don't worry. You won't be heard outside."
She nodded as if to herself and felt the touch of lips on her cheek before the still invisible vampire stalked away. Raynare looked up to Kalawarner and sighed loudly. She decided to be completely honest now that Naruto had given her the reassurance she needed.
"Can I be… really blunt Kara?"
Her friend nodded. "That's all I expect from you Ray."
"Ah…. Fuck. This is still a bit hard for me to believe. It's just that, when I was about to ask that kid out to kill him, this guy came out of nowhere and subdued me before I could so much as try and escape. He took me back to his apartment. This will probably sound like a giant load of bull…. But it turned out that he was a prince. He's a devil, sort of. Anyway, he'd just left home for the first time. Or more like he ran away from home and didn't want to be found again so quickly. When he realized we were about to do something that would draw a ton of attention to this place… he decided to stop it."
Raynare took a long breath before continuing. "It turned out that he knew a lot about us. I still don't know much about his upbringing or what kind of connections he has, but out leader, Kokabiel is actually working with a terrorist group called the Chaos Brigade…. At least that what Naruto calls it."
"Naruto?"
Raynare blushed scarlet and looked away. "He's the prince I mentioned. He is…. I mean.."
A widening of Kalawarner's eyes and a loosening of the jaw showed that her friend understood. "YOU! You fell for him didn't you!?"
"Uh huh…" Raynare couldn't look at her friend now. It wasn't that she was embarrassed for her feelings towards the blond, even if she was. But she knew that Kalawarner was judging her for it. Judging her for the fact that it was a Devil, not just for failing the mission and leaving without a trace.
"Okay.. I'm not going to get pissed and make a big mess of things… But shit!? Did you have to do this to me?! We've hung out through thick and thin and you go mushy on me like this! And with a Devil! I don't understand how you could see anything in one of them!"
"But he's kind and he's always making me feel good about myself. He doesn't care that I'm a fallen or even that I'm low ranking!"
Kalawarner growled, "And how long has it been since you met him? A few days. That's how long. And barely even that if you're realistic. You might have fallen for him, but your primary sin is lust. It's easy for you to fall for someone. That's why you were only an Angel until you hit puberty and then you were gone! A Devil isn't going to actually care for a Fallen, and for damn sure not a Devil prince!"
"You're wrong."
"What was that?" Kalawarner looked into Raynare's eyes, which had gone from embarrassed, to shocked and dismayed, to angry.
"I said you're WRONG! Naruto's made me his mate! Even if he wanted to get rid of me later he's bound to me!"
That stunned Kalawarner into silence. A Devil prince actually made a Fallen his mate? Well… that explained a lot. The very term "mate" was special in supernatural society. Marriages could be canceled. Divorces were uncommon, but they happened. However… "mating" was a permanent contract that all kinds of supernatural beings used in their own way. From Fallen, to Devils, to Yokai and more. About the only races that didn't permanently mate were Dragons and Angels. Dragons, because they rarely found another one of their species who they got along with and Angels because it just didn't happen. 99.9 % of angels who fell in love…. also fell in the literal sense.
But her friend… had a Devil make her his mate? That just didn't happen. Devils and Fallen didn't mate any more than Devils and Angels did. At least she'd never heard of it happening.
Kalawarner asked hesitantly, "Are you… sure?"
"Yes. Naruto and I… We… just did it last night." Her cheeks flushed red again and her breathing hitched. "He's not like normal Devils Kara. He's not afraid of crossing boundaries and making friends with anyone who's willing. He offered me a chance to stay with him as his servant at first seeing how he wasn't going to let me finish my mission."
"And knowing how Kokabiel is… you decided it's better to serve an unknown master than one you know for sure will kill you for failure." Kalawarner finished her reasoning. "I… I don't like to admit it, but you did the same as I would… if I was a luster like you…"
Raynare glanced at her with a slight smirk as she realized her friend had her back after all. "You would have anyway."
"Oh really? And tell me, was this mate of yours in class?"
She nodded smiling now. It was back to old times already. Kalawarner wasn't going to blame her for being what she was… especially under her circumstances.
"And who was this prince of yours?"
"The blond one with the apple." Raynare answered without missing a beat.
Kalawarner suddenly went pink herself. "Oh god…"
"I know…. He's dreamy even when he's in human form."
That caused Kalawarner to face-palm. "Damn… I'm falling into the old fangirl routine. But shit. He was like the second person I noticed after the Gremory. Those eyes of his.. are those an illusion?"
"Sort of. Naruto's actually only part devil. He's also human and Vampire at the same time…. Those are his human eyes and he can bring them out any time he wants. Then his vampire eyes are blood red with slit pupils. I'm not really sure what his devil eyes are like though. They shift around a lot."
Kalawarner sighed and let her shoulders slump. "So I guess you're not coming back to join the group."
"Nope. I'm staying with Naruto."
"And he's going to prevent us from stirring up any more trouble I suppose. You said he want to keep under the radar…"
Raynare scratched the back of her neck uneasily. "I'm not going to lie to you. Naruto is far beyond our level. All of us put together wouldn't stand a chance against him with both hands tied behind his back." She smiled. "But he told me to try and bring you into the fold so to speak. I don't think you want to get executed by your boss anymore than I did. And Naruto has the connections to keep you safe from Kokabiel… and if he's as strong as I think he might be… he could very well be as strong as him."
"No way.. I get that he's a prince and all, but taking out a Fallen general?"
"He killed a high devil without taking a single hit. And not a weak on either. The high devils at this school might be heirs but they don't have any real training or power unless they team up. That one was using magic on par with dragons… at least that what Naruto said."
Kalawarner appeared to think about it for a long moment before she asked, "Mittelt?"
"I think Naruto would be fine with helping her out too, but I get the feeling that Dohnaseek is a big NO as far as Naruto doing anything other than killing him. The moment he finds out about me he'll try to hunt Naruto down and kill the both of us. Naruto would turn him into a big smear on the ground if he tried anything."
"Which he would."
"Which he would," she agreed
"OKAY….. This is gonna be awkward. Fine have it your way. I can take a hint. You're prince or whatever sounds like the kind of guy who gets his way more often than not." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "If we're going to do this then I need to get Mittelt to meet you and him alone somewhere. And Dohnaseek is dead weight. I take it Naruto will dispose of him…?"
"Pretty much."
"God this is screwing with my head. I swear if I ever find a peaceful place to settle down, I'm just going to lay around and watch the clouds. Just forget about everything else." Kalawarner grimaced. "Then I suppose for now we go back to class and act normal. Then I go and collect Mittelt. We can meet here early tomorrow morning and get her sorted out. Your boy can deal with Dohnaseek after school… and then all we have to do is get the nun and tell her that she's out of the job."
Raynare thought that sounded fine. "I'll run it by Naruto after the next class and then we can talk about it at lunch. We'll just have to sit together. He can figure out the rest…"
"Fine with me… uh… Anyway we should probably go now…"
"Right…"
Ooo
Ooo
Sitting with her hands tied behind her and her ankles secured to the floor with a strange strip of seemingly unbreakable paper, Tsubaki knew she was in trouble. It had been too fast to even cry out. One moment she was heading for the storage shed to listen in to the two transfer students as Sona had directed… and the next she was waking up in a small abandoned room on the east side of the school. She figured it was abandoned because she hadn't even known it was there before. But… she could feel that she was still within the school grounds.
A big help that was.
Especially since she somehow was unble to draw upon even the slightest amount of devil power. Her wings… which her pinioned behind her couldn't even be hidden. That was how much her magic was restricted. "This is an interesting situation I've gotten myself into. Question is… how do I get out of it?"
Deciding to speak before she was spoken to she raised her voice to be heard…. Only to be stopped by the most ominous of noises.
-crunch-
"So….. Tsubaki-chan… how's your day going?"
Ooo
Ooo
And…..CUT!
That's all for now. I hope you all appreciate this chapter coming so soon. Honestly I'm going to put some of my story ideas on my profile so someone else can write what I don't have the time to. Actually there's already one challenge on my profile if anyone wants to try their hand at a Naruto/DBZ fic.
Now because of overwhelming support… Rias will be part of the harem, but also because of overwhelming words to the effect, she will NOT be the main paring…. Or even in the top three. She'll probably number five or six as far as the harem goes. (mind you that's order of importance not order of "acquisition")
Remember to review everyone!
AND NO GRAYFIA OR KUSHINA!
