Review Response:

GameLover41592: Thank you. Huh? What do you mean by 'Forgetting'?

HMV Black Templar: I know, me too. This chapter should make you happy.

Bednarczykmiki: Yeah, she did, but she was willing to die together with Naruto if there was no escape.

ShadowBloodegde9396: Glad you loved it. I bet you'll adore this chapter. True, but his victory was sloppy and he will correct this for future battles. Yeah, it is possible for him to get into the IMP business. Yeah, everyone likes the change from a Nail Clipper to the Wedding Album. Yeah, Naruto did get the spear head. Alastor's inclusion was last minute. He might show up again, but for now, it is up in the air. If I was next to Freddie Mercury and he made the offer, I would not turn him down. That is what I was going for with Loona being okay with Verosika. You'll like the start of this chapter, I swear by it or else my name is Elliot… and its not. LOL, Courage the Cowardly Dog reference.

Spark681: It's a flesh wound.

Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black: Well, well, look who is paying attention. But IS she pregnant? Hm, let's continue the story and find out together, shall we, Zamasu?

MichaelTheFox: I swear, this chapter is better. Yeah, Naruto will receive training, he recognizes his lack of style or ability is a detriment to survival in Hell. You'll have to wait for Halloween for that three-way lemon to happen… if I am able to get the inspiration for it. Writing Lemons are a pain in the ass if you aren't inspired.

Animecollecter: Why hello. Yeah, everyone was surprised when I had Alastor show up, because, honestly, Naruto and Loona would have died against more than one Exorcist. Ugh, I like Bleach, but the Thousand Year Blood War Arc was just a slog to get through, especially back in 2016 when I was reading it weekly. And that is me being NICE to it. I have such complex feeling about the last arc.

StrongGuy159: I will, man.

Ice: … Damn. I love them.

Nicholas: Not much, remember, Wally Wackford is a scam artist.

Hail Lord Archanfel: Maybe. At this point in time, I am not sure if I will use Alastor again for a long time or soon.

Nathair1: Wassup my bro? OH, you will love… and hate me… this chapter.

Wolf Mike: Yep, decided that Verosika and Loona being willing to share makes more sense as different morals and it's Hell.

Dark Claw: He will, don't you worry.

DaftMerc39: Naruto is scared of needles and so am I. YES, Boo and I finished drawing Loona and Verosika together on Deviantart, check it out now!

Kubz Boy: I don't know how old Verosika is, I checked the wiki, no answer.

Redmen6blight: The Reunion is coming up soon. I can't rush things.

Jebest4781: You are either going to love or hate me for this chapter, but I will see you on the other side… at the bottom with the author's note.

MEATBICYCLE: Thank you man. I am happy you enjoyed the chapter so much. This one might be a bit intense, depending on your tolerance to… emotional weaknesses.

Silvanium: I will answer that shortly.

AbyssWolf0198: This chapter came easier to me because the season 2 episode 2 gave me inspiration, despite just getting off work and being exhausted, I pushed through and made a chapter. Hopefully you don't hate me by the end.

StarDustDragonknight: Aha, you noticed Verosika's subtle action. But we shall see what that action means eventually.

Crispycon1013: Wait what wish?

Autobot-Wolfsketch: Of course, Loona stays with them, the Extermination is still going on. It's suicide to go back now.

Reggad: Never heard that song before. Is it good?

OceanTail: Every time I get a shot, I have to listen to King Crimson Islands and have my eyes closed. I need a distraction.

Shrike: Yes, eventually, 'Ryan Slater' (Remember it is the douchebag's fake name) will make a return. Which Tundra? The one I created, the Imp. Not Ice's Tundra. I don't know a specific style, but I think a more boxing/free style fighting but he will be using a weapon like Millie.

Tusk: I'll check it out.

BoneBreaker: Neat.

KillJoy3000: Thank you.

Guest: Thank you.

Nicholas: Alastor: Don't worry, you aren't entertaining enough to entertain the idea of killing you, my dear boy.

Dr. Strangepork: Love your name, and I love Dr. Strangelove. Aha… yeah… you'll see what happens.

Skarr: I love that show. True, the wounds could get infected.

Turel: Blitz: I FUCKING HATE IT! Bratja: GET THE FUCK OUT BLITZ!

Rat King: Don't worry, I'll get to… her… later.

Nsilver: I know, Romantic Thriller indeed. I'll do what I can.

Gallop: Fuck, yes, remind me of this later please.

Exia Zero: Yeah, I saw it, and it is what inspired this chapter to be written so early. I usually try to put a week or two to relax, work on other stuff, and come up with ideas for the future and setting it up. Like Tundra the Imp's stuff with Loona and Verosika's Backstory, which is original as her Canon back story has not been revealed.

OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!

"Hey" = Speaking

'Hey' = Thinking

'Hey' = Memory

"Hey"= To be Determined

Chapter 24: Personal Trauma

1:52 AM, Motel 6…

Verosika and Loona were snoring as they slept in the comfortable bed.

Loona's tail was wrapped over her waist and covered Verosika's thigh as Verosika clung to Loona's right arm.

Loona, however, mumbled in her sleep.

"… No…"

Dream…

Loona (Age 13) was sent home after her attack on Tundra.

'Little mix-gender cunt!' Loona thought angrily as she walked the steps of the… 'orphanage'.

More like a pound.

However, instead of entering and being ignored, some of the workers grabbed Loona's shoulders.

"GET YOUR HNS…?" Loona started to shout before a muzzle was slapped over her mouth, angering her further, limiting her speech, but easily allowing grunts.

"Ah, Loona…"

Said teen turned and her eyes narrowed with a low growl.

It was the Matron of the Orphanage.

An ugly pug hound snobbishly stood before her.

"The school called. We know what happened." She said as she pushed up her glasses in displeasure before looking at the two holding Loona. "Take her to her room, and lock the door."

"Yes, boss." They replied before the forced Loona to move.

'YOU BRITISH FUGLY WHORE! YOU'LL REGRET THIS!' Loona snarled mentally as she tried to fight against the two, but was over powered.

Once at her… room, if you could call a kennel a room, they tossed her in, locking the door just as she slammed into the bars.

"Stay in there until you get a better attitude, Bitch!" The man spat in her face, leaning back to avoid a claw swipe.

"FCK LL OOO!" Loona screamed through the muzzle angrily, heaving as she hit the bars again, her body ignoring her pain.

Loona backed her self onto her bed when they left, tears in her eyes as she squeezed herself into the tightest ball she could as she started to cry.

'I am all alone… I can't trust anyone…' Loona thought as it felt like the darkness of the world was encroaching on her.

Dream End…

Loona's eyes opened.

Her breathing was rapid, but became still as she realized she wasn't in her former room, but in the motel room.

'Oh, thank god it was a…' Loona stopped mid thought as she felt her bladder cramp.

Pulling her arm away from Verosika, which made her heart race, Loona made her way to the bathroom to empty her bladder.

As Loona relieved herself, Verosika curled up with the pillow containing Loona's warmth, her face scrunching into a sad pout.

Dream…

"WHY CAN'T YOU SPEND MORE TIME WITH ME!" Verosika (Age 14) tearfully screamed at her parents, voice hoarse from the last twenty minutes.

"The higher up at work are cutting hours, so we are…" Her mother started to say.

Her face and body language SCREAMED exhausted, but looked like she was on caffeine to stay awake.

"YOU VALUE YOUR JOB OVER ME, YOUR DAUGHTER?" Verosika hiccupped. "YOU CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY!"

"Vero," Her dad said as he knelt down, reaching out to put his hand on her shoulder. "You'll understand when you are a parent."

Verosika swatted his hand away.

"I HATE YOU!"

Her extended arm grew bigger, several years passed.

A sense of dread as her hand closed, as if she was holding something.

A pregnancy test…

That was positive.

Verosika, two weeks after breaking up with Blitz, dropped it.

Watching the test drop, she covered her face as the test exploded.

The initial shock vanished, and when Verosika opened her eyes, she saw the smoldering remains of an Imp Orphanage.

Dream End…

"NO!" Verosika shot up, spit shooting from her mouth as she did.

Looking around her, Verosika touched her face.

Her heart beat pulsating throughout her entire body as she wiped the cold sweat off of her face.

'It… it's okay…' She thought as she got up. 'I'm in control… I'm in…'

Tearing up, Verosika got out of bed and poured some water.

She drank it slowly, instantly feeling the urge to pee when the water entered her throat.

Clenching to not piss herself, Verosika made her way to the bathroom.

"Occupied." Loona called from within after Verosika opened the door, which Loona forgot to lock.

"Can't… hold…" Verosika said as she entered, jumping in the shower.

She squatted, and started to relieve herself.

'Awkward~' Loona thought as she started to feel uncomfortable to pee while Verosika was next to her in the bathtub.

"So," Verosika said as she felt no real shame. "You want to go check up on our favorite hound after this?"

Loona's ears perked up.

"Yeah, we should… but first…" Loona said in embarrassment.

She reached over and closed the shower curtain.

'Awe, much better.' She thought as she was able to relax enough to finished her business.

Meanwhile…

Dream…

I sat in the front of the truck with my dad. His truck didn't have a back seat, and I was seven.

It was a dark, cloudy night with slight fog.

We were driving home on a windy road from a nice restaurant out of town.

"Naruto, can you…"

"NO!" I shouted at dad, not seeing his face falter in hurt. "You are trying to replace mom!"

"I am not trying to replace Kushina…" Dad said as he slowed, taking the turn car slowly.

"Then why did we just have dinner with another woman who mentioned marriage!" I snapped, turning to him, dad looking at me, though his eyes would dart to look through the window to not get us killed.

"Naruto," Dad said, his face tired and worried. "I want you to have a mother figure… I can't… things are getting hard at work; I won't be able to pick you up from school with the work load. I need someone who…"

"I don't want a new mother!"

"It… Naruto… it isn't easy…"

"Can't you just ask one of…" I started to snip before a bright light entered the window, the last thing I saw before it went black was my dad turning to see what caused it, a look of fear on his face before I felt the car start to stop before it faded to black.

Unknown amount of time passed before I sluggishly opened my eyes, closing them from the bright light from the nearby window, which showed the sun was half way through the sky.

"Dad…" I mumbled.

"He is awake…"

"Call the doctor…"

My eyes slowly started to adjust to the light, I winced as I felt a sharp pain in my side, as if thorns were forcing themselves into my body.

Three cops were there, two male and one female.

One male cop left the room to get a doctor, while the others remained with me.

"Son," The male cop asked as he took off his hat. "Do you remember anything from last night?"

"Uh…" I said as I closed my eyes, trying to think. "Ride home… Bright light… Dad… Where is Dad!"

I tried to get up, but was forced back down by the female cop.

The sharp pain becoming sharper, spreading from my side to my stomach, shoulder, and thigh.

It felt like barbed wire was running through my veins.

"Sweetie…" She choked out, her eyes watering, probably from the look of desperation on my face. "I'm sorry… but your daddy… He… he died when the drunk driver hit your car…"

Dream End…

Naruto's eyes snapped open, tears streaming down his cheeks as he stared up at the blank ceiling, warm and comfy under the blanket provided with the bed.

He could feel his heart beating against his ribcage.

'Dad…' Naruto thought, closing his eyes, intending to dab them… but he couldn't move his arms.

Looking at his arms, Naruto's breathe hitched when he saw Verosika and Loona snuggling into him, his arms hugged into their chests and their legs intertwined with his.

His tail was wrapped around him, with Loona and Verosika's tails next to his.

Naruto saw a red light emit from the nearby clock, looking at it to see it was roughly three-thirty AM.

'How did… last thing I remember…' Naruto thought, his eyes deadpanning. 'Right, Tex hit me. Im'ma…'

Naruto bit his lip hard enough to cut it open when Verosika shifted, her knee hitting him in his injury.

He shuddered as sweat secreted from his pours as he did his best to not make any noise, but a small squeak escaped his lips.

Loona's ear twitched.

"Hm…" She hummed, eyes scrunching as she felt movement from Naruto before she cracked open an eye, looking at his face to see him awake. "Huh, Naruto…"

Naruto shakily smiled.

"Hi…" He said in a pain filled squeak of a voice.

Loona quickly cupped his cheek and laid a kiss on his lips.

Not fighting it, Naruto reciprocated the kiss.

They passionately lip locked, his tongue slipping into her mouth, feeling the sharp fangs in her mouth gently graze his tongue as they tongued.

"So, you like action in the morning?"

The hounds froze, eyes turning to see a cheekily smiling Verosika.

Verosika leaned in and kissed them both.

"Morning, sleepyhead." Verosika cooed as she turned on the bedside lamp before laying her head on his shoulder.

Naruto's arm wrapped around her, pulling her in.

This small action gave so much emotional support to Verosika that she smiled in content.

"Okay… not that I dislike this… but can you tell me what is going on?" Naruto asked, silently praying that neither woman would notice the tent forming under the blanket.

He was aroused from kissing Loona, but now he had a full boner from witnessing Verosika kiss both himself and Loona.

"Well, last night, Jayjay and Coco sutured your wound…" Verosika said as she reluctantly removed herself from his side and pushed the blanket off of him.

On his right side was a freshly sewn injury… that was purple in infection, under heavy duty plastic wrap like Mista from Jojo Part Five.

"I think they even used a stapler when they ran out of dental floss on your back." Verosika joked poorly, not really taking enjoyment out of the serious situation.

"What?"

"That spear went all the way through you, Naruto." Loona said as she helped him sit up and gently caressed the back area.

Naruto lurched forward in pain, eyes blue circles as he clutched his side, tail between his legs.

'At least I don't have a boner anymore.' He thought positively despite the pai… fuck it, he couldn't tough this out. "It fucking hurts…"

"I'm sorry." Loona apologized.

"It really hurts…" Naruto tearfully whimpered, his breathing getting heavy.

"Naruto, it's going to be fine. Jayjay is getting…"

*Knock, knock*

"Come in." Naruto called out as Verosika grabbed a bathrobe, tossing it to Loona before she put one on herself as the door opened.

"Morning, how are…" Jayjay said tiredly as she entered with Vortex behind her.

Jayjay's eyes widened when she saw Loona and Verosika putting the bathrobes on.

Her surprise became anger.

And her foot embedded itself in the wall next to Loona, who shrank in fear.

"WHY ARE YOU TWO IN HERE!" Jayjay screamed, Loona and Verosika sitting before her on their knees.

"Here." Vortex said as he helped Naruto sit up, handing him a massive bottle of pain killers. "Take some of these. It will help."

"Thank you…" Naruto desperately thanked as he took the pills, drinking them down with some water. "Ah~ So… why is Jayjay so mad?"

He and Vortex watched as Jayjay scolded Verosika and Loona.

"She stayed up all night taking care of you, until about two hours ago when I convinced her to go with me for the pain killers." Vortex replied as he gently pushed Naruto onto his back. "Don't worry, the Extermination will last a few more hours, until then, rest, okay?"

"Sure, bro…" Naruto replied tiredly, yawning.

"… And further more…" Jayjay started to lecture before Vortex walked behind her and gently caressed her ears from behind.

Jayjay dropped to her knees, a goofy, excited smile as her tail wagged back and forth.

"Yeah~~~" She slurred before she fell asleep, showing how tired she was.

"Sorry about that, you know how sisters are." Vortex jabbed as he carefully picked her up.

"Sister?" Naruto asked.

Vortex didn't answer.

"Anyway, you two play nice, don't make Naruto exert himself, or else…" Vortex glanced at his sleeping beauty.

"Sure, we promise." Loona said sincerely.

"No promises." Verosika bluntly replied with a deadpan.

"Whatever, just have fun." Vortex said as he walked out, carrying Jayjay on his back.

The trio were silent.

The only sounds coming from the AC/Heating system as it turned on.

It was Autumn, so it was cold in the morning.

"So… uh… Loona…" Naruto started, hiding under the blanket as guilt burst inside his organs. "Uhm… This is Verosika…"

"Naruto, I know… Verosika told me…" Loona told him softly as she got back on the bed.

"Oh…"

"Oh, is right mister." Verosika said playfully as she got on the bed, pulling the blanket down slowly.

"So… you aren't…"

"Why would I be mad?" Loona asked curiously. "She is Verosika Mayday, why would I be mad? I'd tap it."

"Oh, is that a promise?" Verosika asked playfully, her tail swaying seductively back and forth.

Loona turned red.

"A-anyway, Naruto, Verosika and I had a talk last night."

Naruto felt dread.

'No, they are going to make me chose… but…' Naruto clenched his blanket.

"I can't pick one, I want both!" Naruto replied before Loona could even elaborate on what she was talking about. "I love you Loona, but I also love Verosika… you are my Moon and Star… I don't want to lose either of you…"

"We are okay with sharing." Verosika interrupted.

Naruto shot up, wincing and his body spasming in pain.

"Say what now?" he asked with eyes wide, both Loona and Verosika seeing excitement in his eyes… and boner.

"Yep, we had a serious talk last night." Loona said as she looked at Verosika, an embarrassed smile on her face. "We talked about our future relationship, and decided it would be best for all of us to share…"

"Meaning…" Verosika said sensually as she crawled the bed and caressed Loona's short hair before kissing her.

Naruto's breath hitched as Loona returned the kiss.

Verosika purred as she pushed Loona on her back, getting on top of her, pressing their breasts together.

"Huh…" Naruto vocalized his heavy breathing.

Verosika pulled back.

'Got them both.' She thought happily.

She could just feel the lust, but not only that, she could feel the love.

'I can carve a piece of your heart for myself.' She thought as she helped Loona sit up, the female hellhound shivering in excitement that she had been denied… again. 'And hopefully, I can have a piece of her heart, and that I can give both of you a piece of mine.'

Her happiness was shaken when she remembered her dream.

Her eyes watered.

'No, this time is different.' She thought as she crawled next to Naruto and took his arm. 'They love me.'

Loona, calming down from her arousal, felt her heart ache.

The residual dread of her memory bleeding into her thoughts.

The cold room, the kennel like appearance.

The feeling of being less than a citizen with the muzzle on her mouth, the desire to lash out.

Loona crawled up and took Naruto's other arm.

'I have found my piece of happiness; I won't let it go.' Loona thought as she put her tail around herself, Naruto, and Verosika. 'Given every opportunity, I'll kill for your love.'

Naruto smiled.

"I love you, Loona. I love you, Verosika." He whispered before he… shuddered.

"Naruto/World?" Loona and Verosika asked as Naruto sniffled as his eyes swelled with tears.

"Sorry…" he apologized as he pulled his right arm from Loona, trying to wipe the tears away. "Just… before waking up… I had a nightmare."

"Oh, sweety," Verosika said as she dabbed his eyes. "What happened."

"It… it was a memory…" Naruto choked out, his eyes not relenting the water works. "I remembered my dad's death… the argument we had before he… before he died…"

Loona's eyes widened.

'Oh, shit. But Patton said he didn't remember anything from that night… could he have been wrong?' Loona thought as she remembered what Patton told her.

Flashback…

Orphanage…

"You want to know about Naruto's parents?" the patron asked Loona as he watered his garden.

Behind him and Loona were the children being tended to by the sisters, playing on the small playset Naruto and the Patron had built together a few months prior.

"Yes, Naruto never talks about his parents," Loona said as she held up a picture she took from Naruto's room. "And I would like to know so I don't trigger any bad memories."

The picture in her hands was small, a wallet picture really.

It had Minato and a heavily pregnant Kushina, who was eating ramen while she sat on Minato's lap, who was holding her belly. Both smiling happily.

The patron sighed as he got on his knees to pull some weeds.

"His mother, Kushina, died giving birth." The patron told Loona. "His father, Minato, passed away in a car accident. Naruto was seven, and he was the only survivor of that drunk driving accident."

Loona's eyes widened.

"Naruto and I have talked about it a few times, and it seems tha over the years, Naruto is forgetting pieces of that night…" the patron grumbled as he stood on his knees. "I think it is for the best. Especially with all the trouble he is going through currently."

He looked at Loona with a serious eye.

"Make sure to not mention this to him, Naruto prefers to keep this private."

"I understand." Loona said as she turned to put the picture back.

Flashback End…

"Dad was just trying to give me a mom… yet I was…" Naruto said as he covered his eyes in shame. "He wanted what was best for me… but I wouldn't listen… then a drunk… drunk…"

"Babe, It's okay. You don't need to hide from me." Verosika said, before she cleared her throat. "I mean, from us."

Naruto sniffled, his breathing evening out.

'Should I tell them?' Verosika thought as she and Loona sat in silence as Naruto calmed down.

Her own guilt bubbling.

"Okay, I am..." Naruto wiped his nose. "I am cool… Sorry you had to see that."

"Well, since we are sharing, I guess I'll go next." Loona said as she looked at her hands. "My parents… abandoned me when I was two. I lived in a shitty orphanage… if you could call it that. The rooms were like kennels in a pound, everyone was a fucking shithead, the British posh bitch in charge was a cunt… they barely fed us, clothed us, barely treated us like… lack of better term, like humans."

Loona shuddered, remembering her harsh treatment at the hands of her bullies.

"I was bullied because of my status as an orphan, my clothes and the lunches I would eat… but then…" She took a deep breath. "I snapped…"

'She… she mentioned this before…' Naruto thought when he heard this, eyes widening.

Flashback…

"Hey, Naruto." Loona asked.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked in a mild irritated tone.

"What would you do if you got adopted…"

"That won't happen." Naruto said as he spun in his chair, defeating a Guardian. "No one wants me as their son, so I don't think it will ever happen. Come on, I'm almost eighteen."

"There are people out there that could and WOULD adopt you, Naruto." Loona stated as she stood up.

She couldn't reveal what she knew, not yet.

Naruto paused his game and glared at Loona.

"If there were people that wanted to adopt me," Naruto said with emphasis on his words. "Then they would not have ever said, 'Look at those scars' 'He looks like an animal' 'I bet he is a violent beast'. So, I am SOOO Sorry that I don't believe you when you said that there are people who want to adopt me."

He broke eye contact, done with the conversation.

Naruto picked up his Switch, but was turned to face Loona when she spun his chair, taking his Switch and putting it aside.

"Naruto," She stated with emphasis on her words. "I KNOW there is a family out there who would be happy to have you. Remember," She got close, staring him in the eyes with an intense focus. "I was almost eighteen when I was adopted by my deadbeat dad."

Naruto scowled.

"Doesn't mean anything. You were probably never called a Dog."

"But you were never abandoned!" Loona snapped, making Naruto blink. "You told me your mother died in childbirth and your dad died in an accident… my parents abandoned me when I was two… then I spent fifteen years in an orphanage, no one wanted me because they saw me as a punk, a bitch… a loser…" Her eyes were watering, heart pounding in her chest as she remembered her youth. "But I was saved from that… by one of the worst people ever, but his company was better than anyone at the orphanage. SO, I ask YOU again," Loona stared Naruto in the eyes with tears. "What would you do if you got adopted?"

Flashback End…

"I brutally attacked my bully, and in return, I was basically forced into solitary confinement with a muzzle!" Loona stated as she curled into the fetal position, her tail wrapping around her. "I couldn't trust anyone after that. I stayed quiet and reclusive for four years before I was adopted."

"Loona… that…"

Loona hugged Naruto's hand, squishing it into her breasts.

"Just being able to hold you… it helps keep the bad memories away." Loona told him with teary eyes. "I… I just wanted to say that… I have only shown you one part of myself… I am scared you will hate the Real Loona…"

"Only time will tell, My Moon." Naruto said as he caressed her cheek lovingly, wiping a tear away softly.

"Gee, guess I will go last." Verosika laughed shallowly as she crossed her legs.

"Hm?" Naruto and Loona turned to look at the new speaker.

"My parents were always working." Verosika said as she saw with her hands on her lap, looking at her hands.

'Wait, she did say that before.' Loona thought as she remembered the night before.

Flashback…

"Until Naruto wakes up, let's get to know each other." Verosika said as she sat back down, looking at Loona.

"Okay, uhm… I am Loona Carniv'al. My parents abandoned me and I lived at the Hellhound orphanage for fifteen years before I was adopted by Blitz. I work as the Secretary of Immediate Murder Professionals." Loona started as she calmed down.

"It is nice to meet you, Loona. I am Verosika Mayday, and I was born in the Ring of Lust. My parents were…" Verosika paused. 'Can I open up? I should to Naruto, but this woman…' "Sorry, my parents were always busy, and I was starved for attention, thus I took to singing. Somehow, it worked out and here we are."

"That is sad…"

"It's okay, my parents did what they had to do to make ends meet, so I understand…" Verosika waved off the comment.

Flashback End…

"I didn't understand why they were constantly working and tired as a child." Verosika admitted as she held a small amount of self-loathing. "At the time, Hell was going through an economic crisis, so my parents worked themselves to death. I wanted their attention, but they could barely give me anything except a 'Hello' or a 'Goodnight'. I was so desperate for attention, I started singing and was able to get the attention I craved from singing. I eventually had an argument and ran away from home."

Verosika took a deep breathe.

"When I was nineteen, I came home… and found them near death from overwork. I was able to get them to the hospital in time, but they couldn't work as much anymore. So, I made my debut as a popstar under JK$$... (1) and I helped them pay for living expenses until they died." Verosika told them, clenching her hands tightly. "I hated myself, feeling like I didn't deserve love of any kind…"

Verosika closed her eyes as she touched her old tattoo.

"But then I met Blitzo."

"My dad's name before he changed it to Blitz." Loona explained to Naruto.

"Oh, oka… WHAT!"

"Let me finish?" Verosika heatedly asked, earning a silent nod from the hounds. "Thank you. Anyway… Blitzo and I dated, we were happy… but then the red jizz choking cuck and I got drunk, and he took off with my credit card, maxed it out on horse riding lessons. He then had the man-gina to tell me it was my fault and we broke up."

"Oh… fuck Verosika, I didn't…"

*Youtube Audio Library: Heart Break*

"I'm not done yet." Verosika snipped, venom dripping from her lips as she shuddered, as if the next part was worse than what she had already told them. "t-t-t-Two weeks later, I kept waking up feeling nauseas. I was dizzy… and couldn't work. So, I went to the doctors…'

'Oh no…' Naruto and Loona thought as they reached out, Verosika's hands meeting them half way as massive crocodile tears started to drip into the sheets.

"I was pregnant."

There was a long pause of silence.

"I went the nine months."

"Stillborn?"

Verosika shook her head to Naruto's question, feeling the bed shift as he and Loona moved and sat beside her, holding her to their hearts.

The comfort they gave brought a shaky smile to Verosika's lips.

"Evesika Mayday… My little Eevee…" Verosika choked into their embrace. "I remember her smile, her black hair… she held onto me so tight, I…" (2)

Verosika shook.

Overwhelming guilt bombarded her like Killer Queen: Sheer Heart Attack and Bites the Dust combined.

"I couldn't keep her… I wanted too… but I was in such a bad mental space…"

"You gave her up, didn't you?" Loona asked as she rubbed Verosika's back.

Verosika nodded again.

"But then… I went to visit a few months later… and… and…" Verosika clutched her heart.

It was beating so fast.

Flashback…

My eyes widened as black smoke billowed from the rubble.

The orphanage had been destroyed.

"EEVEE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, running into the charred wood and blackened bricks to find my daughter.

Every breath was a mouth full of ash, every exhale was accompanied by a cough.

My hands ached and blistered open, blood mixing as I refused to give up on my baby.

But I was pulled away.

"NO, I NEED TO FIND HER!" I screamed, tears spewing from my eyes.

"Ma'am, its to late, she is gone." The head of the orphanage said as he pulled me away.

"EEVEE!"

Flashback End…

"I left my baby to die… all because I felt like I couldn't raise her…" Verosika sniffled, laying across Naruto's lap with Loona holding her hand as Naruto ran his fingers through her hair. "Sorry… you probably didn't…"

"It's okay, Verosika." Naruto interrupted, his eyes watering again. "I still love you, because you… well… you are you.

*Youtube Audio Library: Cry*

He struggled to find words.

"What I mean…"

"I understand." Verosika said, wiping her dry tears. "I am a fuck up, but you make me want to be a better person."

"oh, I do?"

"Yeah," Loona laughed. "You do. You will see when the Real Loona is shown, you'll see how much you changed me by just being your self."

"Oh, gosh, that…" Naruto just smiled, unable to find words. "I… I use to think I would never be of help to anyone outside the Orphanage, but you both… you both showed me I can."

"Let's… let's go back to sleep." Loona said before she yawned.

It was just past 4 AM now, the Extermination was still underway for eight more hours.

"Yeah, I need…" Verosika yawned.

"Infectious…" Naruto yawned.

The trio shifted back under the blanket.

Smiles abundant as they enjoyed their warmth as hundreds of Sinners and Hellborn were being slaughtered in the streets, but the Castles of Goetia, Sins, Marques, and Lucifer left untouched.

Chapter 24, DONE!

1 JK$$ (Pronounced Jacash) was an Incubus singer Crowfeast and I created for his Happy Hotel's Hellhound story. I recommend the shit out of it.

2 Eevee Mayday is a character from the Youtuber Super Universe. They have an AMAZING what if comic. It is called Tilla Mayday: the Daughter of Blitz and Verosika. Spoiler, Eevee is Tilla's older sister, also a daughter of Blitz and Verosika, and she was, as I showed, left at an orphanage and 'killed'. Now, I won't be doing an exact copy and paste, because it's plagerism, and so I am giving all credit for this character and anything I do with her to Super Universe. I also ask that you check the comic out, its on Youtube.

HOLY SHIT! OH, MY GOD! SON OVA BITCH!

*COUGH, cough* fuck, I love Joseph Joestar, but fuck, how does he do that?

Now, that was a really loaded chapter.

Finally, NarutoXLoonaXVerosika. I never planned on Verosika staying, just chapter 7, then a one-night stand, but the more I thought about it and pondered the possibilities, I grew to love it more and more. And thankfully, you guys do as well. Thank you all for your support.

Yes, Loona's living conditions and the design of the Hellhound Orphanage were based off of Season 2: Episode 2's flashback of how Blitz adopted Loona.

I fucking teared up seeing Loona so vulnerable, so then I had an idea to show her past trauma… and then Verosika's… and then Naruto's… then this.

I know, it is a lot, but it is how Boo and I… got together.

Quick Version: before we got together in 2019, we told each other of our pasts and baggage. Boo told me about her brother being autistic and I told her about my baggage of my ex and a toxic friend, and how we were scared of being hurt, but took a chance and now here we are many years later still a happy couple.

So, this might be relatiable to some readers, but not all, so I understand if it is a bit head scratching why Verosika would just spill the beans about Eevee.

Anything else…

Uh, oh, yeah, Naruto's flashback was simple, but finding the chapter sections for the flashbacks for the characters to remember certain parts of Info being mentioned was a bitch.

Honestly, I just wanted this chapter to be about them being honest about themselves, their fears, worries, and them still love each other despite the baggage and hang ups.

Loving all, good and bad, parts of your partner.

Okay, this is becoming a lecture, I am sorry.

But, new deviantart pictures are being uploaded as we speak. Check out Boo1194 if you want to see them.

And finally:

If you adored this chapter and want to let me know, send a review. If you found it horrible, send a review anyway as it helps me become a better author.
