CHAPTER START
Opening his eyes, Naruto woke up feeling properly refreshed as he found himself on a large bed. Sitting up, Naruto looked around, seeing a room he was unfamiliar with and looked at himself, finding he was wearing new clothes.
Looking around, Naruto found that he was in a room he couldn't recognize as he wondered, "Where… am I?" Naruto muttered to himself, "And these clothes…"
"Good morning," A voice called out, catching his attention.
Turning to the door, Naruto saw Lucy and finally remembered she was his new sister, as he scratched the back of his head, "Uh good morning," He greeted as he sat up in the bed, "Do you need me to help with anything?" He asked, unsure on how to interact with his new family.
"Help?" Lucy asked as she lightly giggled before realizing he was serious, "Oh, no, you don't need to worry about that," Lucy said as she grabbed Naruto a new pair of shorts and a shirt and tossed them to him as she said, "Dad is making breakfast and the others already have everything else covered. So you just need to worry about getting dressed and then coming out to eat."
Watching Naruto get up and go to the bathroom to change, Lucy smiled at him and waved as he looked back before closing the door which is when Lucy lost her smile as she thought, 'Despite all that he's been through, at least he still has some proper growth. A little on the small side and that's to be expected but a proper diet and some sleep will fix that,' The Queen of Hell thought as she gained a loving smile, remembering how she loved when Naruto was taller than her so that he could sweep her off her feet and pin her with ease in bed.
After he finished getting dressed, Lucy dragged Naruto downstairs to see Pandemonica yawning as she was in her pajamas grumbling softly as she rubbed her eye, "Morning…" she groaned out.
Despite the sleep she got last night, she still had to work Hell's customer service as usual which heavily deprives her of well deserved sleep. The only reason she was allowed to ignore work last night was because Lucy allowed it due to the fact that it was a big event for all the girls.
Though, looking at the poor, sleep deprived woman, Lucy was wondering if she should begin assigning days where Pandemonica doesn't have to work so that she could get some proper rest.
"Sounds like someone had a rough night," Lucy commented.
"Shaddap…" Pandemonica signed irritably, and again, this was something Lucy ignored, knowing Pandemonica was only like this due to a lack of sleep and because the last time she'd tried to say something about Pandemonica's attitude…
Lucy suddenly rubbed her butt, feeling phantom pains from the last time she'd tried to correct Pandemonica's attitude. Yeah… she wasn't going to let that happen, "You ok?" Naruto said moving to the tired girl who blushed at his worried nature, "Need me to help you wake up?"
"Not unless you can brew an espresso… but the thought is nice…" she murmured softly, missing Naruto's confused look on the word 'espresso'.
Yawning into the kitchen the two followed the tired girl to see Frank, flipping pancakes into the air before placing small chocolate bits into the middle and rolling them. "Morning son," the man lifted his head to turn it slightly, "You don't mind me calling you that kid?"
Naruto shook his head, "No it's uh… it's ok… Frank-San," Naruto said as the man gave a cool smile and nodded his head.
"Hope you like pancakes," He said as he flipped more into the air, "Girls, get in here! Breakfast is ready unless you want the sisters to snatch the pancakes again."
"Alright, alright, we're coming!" The other girls replied as they made their way downstairs, rushing down and bumping into each other, which caused them all to fall down the last couple stairs with only the triplets landing perfectly fine on top of the others as they giggled.
"Hey," Frank exclaimed to the girls, getting them to look up, "Just because we're all a family, doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful. Now, all of you, take your seats and Naruto will go next to Modeus and Lucy."
After Naruto and all the girls took their seats, Frank came over and began serving everyone as he said, "Extra strawberries and whipped cream for Modeus."
"You're the be~st!" Modeus smiled widely, before digging into her food.
"Chocolate for me and Judge," Justice said as Frank placed some pancakes with chocolate syrup drizzled all over them as they began digging in with joy on their faces.
After all the girls were given their food and were eating, Frank looked to Naruto and asked, "Any requests, kiddo?"
Zdrada looked up from her plate as she spoke, "Give him… chocolate and strawberries." She suggested as the man nodded and placed the toppings into Naruto's food.
"Uh… thanks, I think?" Naruto laughed sheepishly. "Uh… what was your name again?"
Lucy smirked as she spoke, "Her name is Zdrada, Za-dra-da," Lucy sounding out Zdrada's name in order to help him understand how her name is said.
"Okay, well thanks Zdrada, really," Naruto thanked as he smiled at Zdrada.
Zdrada looked away with a blush while the others all giggled at the scene, but then they noticed Naruto looked a little uncomfortable as Pandemonica took a sip of coffee and asked, "Are you okay, Naruto?"
Naruto shook his head, "Y-Yeah, just trying to remember all of your names."
The girls all gave smiles at the boy's worried nature, "You're such a sweet boy," Lucy giggled. "How about you give each of us a nickname? That way it'll be easier for you to remember."
Naruto looked around and nodded starting with Pandemonica, which the girl gave a small smile at his gaze. "My name is Pandemonica, I like coffee… religiously," She joked as the other girls laughed, "And having enough sleep."
"Pandemonica…" Naruto said, as he tried to think of a nickname for her, "I'll call you… Monica?" He said as the girl seemed to like it enough to keep her smile.
"It's good enough…" she said as her eyes gained a certain gleam to them as she continued, "Although I would like to make you mo-"
"Whoa-ho ho," Justice said, covering the girl's mouth with a worried look on her face, "That's enough of the muddy water for you, ya sadist…" she whispered trying to remind her to calm her usual real self… in front of their child lover.
Pandemonica stared at Justice with a very dry look on her face as she pouted and said, "Fine…" She muffled out before Justice took her hand off of Pandemonica's face.
"Oh! Do me! Oww!" Modeus said while raising her hand excitedly before she flinched with a pout when Judgement smacked the back of her head. "Not… what I meant~!"
"Phrasing," Justice deadpanned.
Ignoring Justice, "My name is Modeus and I love se-" Modeus spoke before pausing as she looked over Naruto's shoulder to see Lucy and Judgement glaring menacingly before she slowly continued, "Se…wing…" she drawled out, not saying what she originally wanted, "And romance books."
"Hmm, Modeus is the easiest to remember," Naruto said as she smiled at Naruto.
Soon he turned to see the three wild girls who were comically shaking their heads while biting on their pancakes, "Uh…" Naruto said with wide eyes. He didn't know what to think of this situation since they were acting like… dogs.
"She's Cerberus./No she is!/Wait, I thought I was?" The girls all spoke at once, before they all giggled softly, "Ehehe we're all Cerberus!"
"Uhh…" Naruto turned to Lucy who only gave a teasing smile as she shook her head. "Guess I'll just call you that," He said as the girls all nodded happily, almost whining happily like dogs.
"As funny as this is, eat up kid," Frank stated as the older man took his pancakes while walking away, "You can talk more after eating."
"Uhh…thanks," Naruto blinked, before looking at his stack. It certainly looked good especially with the whipped cream and strawberries on top. It made his stomach growl and swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Lu, Pan, later today, you're helping me tidy up my office," The man exclaimed, getting a loud 'yes!' as a reply. With that, Naruto took a bite of the odd treat and smiled at how good it tasted, easily wolfing down the rest as the girls all stared at him.
He didn't care that they stared at him, as he was now in a new home, with a new family, and he was able to eat something other than ramen. It was a good feeling to have a place where no one called him a demon or glared at him for trying to enjoy a meal.
"Hey cutie, my name is Justice. You can call me that or Hachi," She chuckled knowing the bad joke behind it, "Or just Jus."
"Justice…" Naruto said, swallowing his breakfast.
She lowered her sunglasses with a wink, showing Naruto's colorless eyes, "Yeah, you got it," She said before placing her shades back on when she felt his stare become intense, "My eyes, I Uhh…" she turned to Lucy who gave an understandable nod to continue, "Yeah I'm blind, dude…"
Naruto's eyes widened as he looked to Lucy, "Is she ok?" He said, making Justice bashfully smile at his kind words and worrying about her.
"It's fine. She's used to it by now," Lucy waved off, smiling for once sincerely at her old friend. "She's been living with it for most of her life. So it's nothing to worry about."
"Oh, so she wasn't born blind?" He said as Lucy raised an eyebrow.
"No, Justice's condition is from…" Lucy trailed off when that woman came into her mind. "An accident…"
Justice sheepishly chuckled as she waved off the whole conversation away, "Well it's not like I really care about it anymore. Besides, I've already adjusted- oop!" She said, grabbing Judgement's glass of milk before it spilled, "So I'm not helpless anymore. Careful Twenty." She said, rubbing the girl's head who looked visibly embarrassed at the gesture. Like a younger sister being doted on her annoyingly attached older sister.
"I see," Naruto said as he nodded in understanding, "I guess I shouldn't be really worried then."
"You can, but it's not needed," Malina started adding her silver flask contents into a coffee mug, "Tch, it's not like we're easily breakable," Her snide voice said as she emptied her flask, "Oh, the name's Malina, but you can call me Mal if you want to."
"Mal-chan, okay then," Naruto nodded.
"What are you adding to your mug?" Naruto asked as Malina looked alarmed before suddenly hiding it.
"It's her uh… silly juice," Zdrada chuckled, ignoring Malina, flicking her off.
"Silly… juice?" Naruto looked confused, tilting his head, "How does it make her silly?"
"It's not silly juice!" She roared before pointing a knife at her twin… which was ruined due to the piece of pancake still on it, "It's necessary juice, Smog head!"
"Yeah, sure, you can call it that, Liver Killer~!" Zdrada rolled her eyes in amusement.
"Oral Whore!" Malina said, stabbing her pancakes with a glare.
"Hey… kid here," Frank frowned, jabbing a thumb at Naruto.
"Sorry…" The twins mumbled… as Zdrada smirked, "NOT~!"
As they ate, Naruto felt more and more comfortable with their presence compared to earlier, as most of the girls finished eating, Naruto looked to his left to see the triplets eyeing him expectedly… before noticing his plate still had a few pancakes.
"Uh… do you want some?" Naruto offered, holding out the plate to them. The girls' eyes gained stars, literal stars, in them as they all nodded in perfect sync.
"Toss!" "Them!" "Please!" They all said in complete unison as Justice snickered, making Naruto look at her who she gave a thumbs up.
"Do it, dude, it's their thing. I promise," She confirmed as the former high prosecutor watched Naruto toss the remaining food in the air.
"CHOMP~! OOT ET~!" The middle said before she was tackled by the other two, making the three savagely pull on the food that somehow miraculously didn't tear apart and instead seemed to stretch.
"Wow… does this happen all the time?" Naruto looked at Justice incredulously, watching the sisters get into a comical dust fight as they fought over his pancakes.
"Yep. You'll get used to it after a while," Justice shrugged her shoulders, "Still, I'll give them a pass, it's not like they ate another guy," The woman said as Lucy glared at her from afar.
"Justice, Zdrada, go get groceries for dinner," The leader of hell demanded as she and Pandemonica were going to 'tidy' up their father's office, "And Naruto, if you want to go with them, it'll be okay since you can help choose food."
"Uh… sure, I don't mind," Naruto blinked, surprised at the sudden chore but didn't argue as it wasn't difficult or a problem. Soon after, he left the house with Lucy handing him some ryo, enough for almost two families worth of food before handing Justice an even larger wad of bills. He looked at the blind girl with shock in his eyes, "Does…she normally give you that much for food?" he asked as Justice smirked at the tone of surprise.
"Ehehe yup, we eat a lot… trust me, gluttony is almost a requirement in this household," Justice joked as she and Zdrada walked out behind Naruto, "I mean the three guard dogs are enough to eat out a…what's the equivalent to a black hole in this era?" She whispered to herself knowing some of her usual slang and sayings weren't usable.
"Just that much money is worth… Wow, that's a lot of ramen bowls just thinking about it…" He muttered to himself.
"Is that all you ever eat?" Zdrada asked.
"Uh… yeah," Naruto admitted sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.
"Man, we need to get you a nice rare steak!" Justice said, slinging her arm around his neck,
"Nice amount of pink in the middle…"
"Soft and wet~," Zdrada chuckled, "Damn, now I wanna eat out…"
"...Don't you mean you want to eat out?" Naruto said as the girls laughed hard at his pure answer.
~Meanwhile~
Lucy looked at the second floor window, "I am going to whip Zdrada when she gets back…" She deadpanned as she watched the pair leave.
Despite how it seemed, Justice was the strongest fighter of their little group. While Lucy had raw, magic power, if one took that away, she was only as strong as their weakest member, Malina. On top of that, Justice had eons of experience fighting blind and had only ever been beaten by certain demons in Hell, but that had only ever been temporary before Justice came back stronger.
She just hoped that Naruto would be fine with those two, but she couldn't help but worry about the people in this village and their schemes and cleverness.
"Mind helping me or do you need a room with Naruto's photos to help you end your fantasy faster?" Pandemonica inquired as Frank sat on a large leather chair while Pandemonica stood on a stool to look above his head. Snapping her fingers, Frank suddenly glowed for a brief moment before his appearance changed to match that of a stone version of himself, "Bloody hell," Pandemonica gritted her teeth, "I told you we needed to adjust the magical output."
Lucy scoffs at the suggestion, "With what? More magic?" She said before lifting her arms to her chest and flourishing downward. It was the reason why they were kids, "Need I remind you, we're like this because you over-taxed our powers?"
"Says the idiot who told me to get it right," Pandemonica said as Lucy walked up, "Now make yourself useful and hand me that demon wrench." She demanded as Lucy grumbled but did what she was told to do, passing the little girl a red and black wrench-like tool watching her smack it lightly on Frank's head to pop his skull. "Let's see…"
"Anything bad?" Lucy asked as Pandemonica shook her head.
"Like I said, we didn't give it enough power. I'm redistributing his defensive protocols for more basic functionality," The smartest member of the inner circle said, "Unless you want to give it more of a boost?"
"And risk my ass being in diapers? No, thank you!" She declared, hating the fact that her low magical power was causing this to happen.
For many devils, such as themselves, power and sin made them look like the perfect woman. The more power they had, the more people saw them as goddesses… well… demonic goddesses. Which is why, now that they had lost a good portion of their power, they were now brats. Using such a big and complicated spell took nearly all of their power. From women at the peak of their beauty, to adorable, little girls who looked completely harmless.
Well… at least she did.
"I know you just insulted us, your highness," Pandemonica chipped in as she worked on Frank's operating systems.
At that, Lucy stuck her tongue out at her, a bit childish, but was more than appropriate for her current form. While she could, technically, return to hell and instantly recharge her power, she wouldn't do that. As, contrary to what the church and the angels in heaven preach, she would never abandon her comrades. Not to mention, there were two more factors for her not returning to Hell.
One, the others would need to chip in what remaining power they had in order to open a portal long enough for her to cross. However, that would be hard to explain to Naruto as to why his sisters turned into literal baby sisters.
Two, if they did open the portal, the crude and forceful manner would alert the angels of their presence in Konoha as the spell would use enough magic that would send out an alert to practically any and all supernatural beings.
If they ever caught wind, Lucy would have to kidnap Naruto and bring him to hell in order to protect him. While that would be more fun and less of a hassle for them, on the other hand, it would shatter his dreams and he could come to hate them. Even if for a while, she wouldn't be able to bear being a target of his hate… it would kill her.
…
Well assuming she could die…
"Lucy…"
Snapped out of her thoughts, Lucy came to see Pandemonica's feet swinging in the air as she was chest level in Frank's head, "I might need some help…" She groaned out as Lucy rushed to pull her out. The two sighed as Pandemonic kicked a nearby chair to the side, "This is some bullshit!"
"It's not as bad as it looks."
"Not bad? Not bad?!" Pandemonic asked incredulously, her horns growing in length. "We're stuck as jailbait kids, for hell knows how fuckin' long… and I was forced to wear strawberry panties! I WEAR LACE FOR CONFIDENCE AND COMFORTABILITY!"
Lucy blinked surprised Pandemonica's anger reach this fast, "Okay, I can understand why-"
"Ohohoho, no you don't." Pandemonic cut her off. "You have no idea how pissed I am!"
"Pan-"
"I HATE THIS! I want him to come home with us, not be in this primitive hellhole that's-GAHHHH~!" She shouted as Lucy held her hand, calming her down. "I…I'm sorry, I haven't been like that since I was born in hell." She panted when her rage faded away. "These after effects are annoying."
"Look, you just need to endure this for just a bit longer, okay? At least for him?" Lucy requested.
Pandemonica sighed, "Lapse of mindset…" She muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose, "I'm fine, another week and I won't lose it again." The bookworm girl turns her head to the Queen of Hell, "How the hell are we going to keep Frank from shutting down? The fact we need magic to keep him running is a catch-22." The glasses wearer looked at Lucy's empty look, "It's from a book…oh right you spent a better half of your time with him in bed, it means we can't really keep this up."
Lucy looked at her hand as a black flame came, "I can provide,I might have an idea…" She said looking at the smartest member. "How much money do we have to use?"
Pandemonica made a quick calculation on that subject, "Enough to buy every brothel in the red light district…why?" She asked as Lucy whispered in her ear as the usually tired girl looked for once excited. "Ohohoooo~ I like it~"
XXXXXXXXXX
"Come on, I'm blind how can I cheat on this ball in a cup game?" Justice chuckled as she and the two others were racking money from a street game, although by rights she should have lost if not using magic to cheat the cheater in front of her. "Well I leave," She promised, nearly tripling their money, ignoring the man begging for her to come back to regain his money.
"Whew~ look at you, raking in all that dough~" Zdrada whistled, impressed.
"How did you win!?" Naruto said as he pointed to the crying swindler, "No one ever beats him, I lost like four thousand ryo…and you're giving it to me!" He said as the blind girl slipped the bills into his pocket.
"Eh, I got enough money to buy some gym stuff." She said worried that she wouldn't be able to buy some with the money that the girls had, Justice needed to make custom stuff to be as good as the equipment in hell. Too bad no WI-FI in this world, it made Cardio so much better when watching some anime or porn when she wanted.
"A-Are you sure?"
"Yeah~ take it~ it's all yours kiddo!" Justice said. "Buy something nice for yourself!"
"Wow~!" Zdrada said with a perverted look at her friend, "Making yourself Naruto's sugar mama? Damn, and I thought Lu was horny~"
"Yeah, yeah… do us a favor and be on the lookout for any sales the market is doing." She said as she pulled Naruto into a store, not before using a simple illusion spell to make him look different so the people wouldn't bother them.
The chain smoker spit on the floor clearly annoyed, but didn't argue, "Pfft, no cigs or drinking openly?" The Bitch demon whispered. She reallllllll~y wish for a triple shot of her favorite whiskey…that would be whatever her sister was into. "Fuuu…wait what?" She noticed something from her eye.
Naruto meanwhile looked through the store, "This is weird…" He said to himself wondering why hasn't anyone kicked him out yet.
"Maybe curry? Is this a red or white onion?" Justice asked, lifting an orange in front of him. "And yes I know it's an orange, I was trying to get you to help."
Naruto pouted, "Sorry, and sure on curry…anything else?" he asked as Justice squatted down to 'look' at the other produce that was on the lower shelves.
"I know Lu can't handle hot food, the triplets love any meat, Melina loves anything boozy, Zdrada been smoking for so long that I doubt she can taste anything, sweets are the only thing in Baph's head." Justice mumbled as the need to eat is now a big concern as eating will also help regain magic. She remembers a goddess in the Norse side of the heaven's that got her magic when drinking…man that was fun.
"Uhhhh…" Naruto looked at Justice strangely.
"I guess we're getting lots of food…"
"No it's not that…'' he said pointing down to show that Justice behind exposed a small part of her panties 'whale tailing' out. "Your…butt is…showing…umm…" He said with a slightly red face.
Justice turned her head with a goofy smile, "Oh thanks, ehehe still used to wearing this." She said pulling up her pants while also making her panties slightly go down. "I usually wear…uhh…carrot panties~!"
"OH GOD STOP! I SWEAR I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN~!"
The two heard the voice of a woman outside and sprint into action, to see… "Whoa!" Naruto shouted as the woman who was screaming shocked him!

A FEW MINUTES AGO

Zdrada pulled up a cig, disguised as a lollipop to take a moment to do her favorite pastime a little of the old huff and puff, "God I miss that brand…" she strains her voice when holding in the cancer cloud in her lungs. "Hmm?" She noticed someone that recently caught her eye a few seconds ago, well it was the item the person held.
*CLICK~!*
"Hmm, a camera? One of those instant ones back when I used to pop back on topside when I first started out." The girl muttered ignoring the sight and continued on smoking, only to notice another shot happen. This made her rather curious as to why that person was taking so many…secretly, she took the sight of the camera's angle and looked at where it was taking shots…
A stunning young Justice whose childish panties were in view, something made her clenched her fist in anger. 'Justice isn't a little girl she would laugh it off…' she mentally waved off the sight of the man taking more shots of Justice unaware nature. Each snapshot was making the usually easy-going girl more pissed off. Thankfully it stopped making her relax at the silence again, the perv can live to do whatever he-
"Damn fucking brat ruin my fun…"
Looking forward she saw Naruto was making Justice fix her attire as the man grumbled…no way she was going to let that slide. She stood up and walking to the man she took the camera
"Hey, give that back! It's mine!"
"PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!" The girl merely exhaled an ungodly amount of smoke as the man couldn't hold his breath long enough and coughed at the amount she spat out. "UUUUF~ Hah! No way!" The girl darkly smirked as her face was literally the definition 'You're fucked~!'
XXXXX
"WHOA!" Naruto shouted while watching Zdrada with small fists rearranging an adult face who was on his knees unable to block her fist.
THUNK THUNK~!
The girl turned to see Naruto who was surprised at the sight, while Justice grinned widely as she placed her hands at her hips. "Uhh…" She dumbfoundely groaned as she pointed to a few candid photos of Justice butt. "He… perv…"
"HEY THAT JERK WAS TAKING PICTURES OF THAT LITTLE GIRL'S REAR-END!" A mother shouted as soon the three kids were forced to move aside as the females started to kick the man even more!
Naruto stood there, looking dumbfounded, even almost in admiration. To see this side of Zdrada…
The smoker tried to wipe the blood off her hands and face, "I…" "Well great job Zdrada, you managed to scare your past lover and earn a 'do not mess with a crazy bitch with it!' The girl decided to ignore her worries and slick back her hair, enjoying how the blood made it stick and hold it just right. It gave a sexy mature look…or would've if she was her previous age, "Heh, what did I make you skip?"
Naruto's eyes shined in a cute manner, the demon could remember that look when Zdrada enjoyed a game that was actually good in her high standards. The look of something that made a person so impressed that they wholeheartedly have a face to match it. "Wow…you're so cool!"
That same look he had…

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO

A young almost teen aged Zdrada huffed loudly as she was able to beat the Queen of hell's boyfriend, "Didn't expect me to flip you like a goddamn egg huh?" She spat pissed off that it took her this long to catch his guard off. Only for the man that was on the floor to sit up with a wide smile.
"That was amazing! You're amazing!" The blonde man chuckled warmly…the sight of his childlike smile made her heart skipped a beat.

PRESENT TIME

"Heh, thanks but…you're not going to win me over with words alone~!" She joked while playing with his hair before leaving them behind. Ignoring her friend's complaints on not having enough for dinner, the girl let our girlish laugh, "Ahahaha~!" She hasn't felt like that in centuries and it feels just right! "Come on, let's see if we can have something to snack on while we shop!"
Justice looked on with shock at what she saw, "Zdrada…" in her whole long life she had never seen her harem-sister and co-worker ever smile that big…not even when their old Naruto was still alive. She was happy to the point the usually lazy girl would willingly help them. But she didn't say anything about it, only glad that Betrayal Demon was once again happy like she used to be.
As the three continued to shop, Justice couldn't help but be filled with worry. Was she really ok with this? She was happy enough to see Naruto happy, but should she be here with the rest to fall for Naruto and be with him? When all those horrible millennia were due to her own mistakes?
She was so sure that no one can outbeat the first High Prosecutor of Hell, someone that was so strong Queen Lucifer choose her to protect and keep Hell running under her strict rules. But all that faded in one horrible moment, she couldn't remember how it happen…maybe she block it to protect her mind but she could see blackness and realized Beelzebub was gone.
Even st the cost of her sight that was price worth paying if it meant Lucy throne was safe, but she felt it…Naruto life force fading away.
"Hey…"
The former high prosecutor's eyes widened when she realized Naruto was gently calling for her, the girl smiled widely, "Sup? Did Zdrada cause trouble?" She said lowering her shades, despite being blind she was able to have her find and target the demon in her inquiry who merely flicked off Justice.
"Uh… no, not really." Naruto shook his head. "You were… kinda spacing out."
Justice merely cupped her chin, almost lost in thought, "Was I?" She grinned as if she wasn't caught.
"Yeah. Are you feeling okay?"
The woman's smile seemed more natural but the blonde could swear her eyes behind her sunglasses seemed to be sad. "It's nothing to worry about, kid." She grinned, ruffling his hair. "Just thinkin' about… happier times." She said pointing to her eyes as Naruto shut his mouth knowing he shouldn't say anything else.
The three continued and gradually got lots of groceries to feed six families, Zdrada and Justice had most of them in their arms while Naruto carried only two or three bags worth of groceries.
"Alright, that should keep us fed for a loooong time." Zdrada sighed to herself, hoping to cut this chore short, she hated doing stuff where she can be not doing stuff. Being productive isn't who she was.
Justice nodded as she chuckled, "Yeah I…" she stopped as she heard buzzing and took a moment to collect herself. "We should get home soon."
Naruto nodded to that sentiment but also didn't realize the girl's small pause… but Zdrada did as she went to Justice and someone grabbed all of her bags as she spoke. "Take a walk, 'sides I got to talk to her Royal asshole-ness…and stop torturing yourself."
Justice seemed shocked for a moment as her friend offered that suggestion, but…
"I let him die…"
XXXXXXXXXXX
A younger Justice smiled as she punched the freckle face of a woman wearing a red suit! She could barely remember what the traitorous bitch looked like, but all Justice care was killing her! Damn what Queen Lucifer wanted, banishment? In her eyes, Justice is what this fly bitch deserves!
She was the strongest and even when Beel*zrrt* tried to go all out and she could easily handle it.
"This… is what you get!" Justice panted heavily, a feeling of euphoria and content washing over her being. "Everything up until now… all of it… it was all for this moment…! To knock your bitch ass down a hundred pegs from your high horse!"
"As always you were always one to give into simplest joys like harming others," The freckled woman smirked as she clapped her hands as black pillars were made and nearly stabbed Justice who easily smashed them into pieces with her two fists. "Unlike me or Lucy who wanted more out of just such mundane fleeting moments,"
The High Prosecutor didn't care or rebuked the high class demon, she was just happy to even live in the moment.
"So any last words before I knock you out permanently?" Justice sneered, placing her foot on the traitor's throat sadistically enjoying her choking noises. Zdrada has nothing on her, the young lass could learn a thing or two from the strongest demon from hell.
"…PATOO!" Justice eyes widened…and that was the last thing she ever saw again! She forgot that the Beel was a fly in every way. Including her spit being acidic.
Justice screeched in pain as she staggered back and away from Beel, after letting go of the latter's throat. "Gah! You fucking bitch! My eyes!" She shrieked, holding her face. Trying to wipe off the acidic liquid as it she tried to her best to to remove it, but when she opened her eyes she saw…nothingness.
Stumbling back, the woman fell back hard as she tried to figure out how to move up, "So proud of yourself for being the strongest," Justice gasped, trying to focus on the voice looking around in a frantic manner. "But unfortunately just like the humans above, once you take something needed for the right job…hmhmhm, well it's over from that point isn't it?" She swung forward to hit nothing but air, "Ohh swing and a miss sweetie."
"Fuck you! You're dead! I'm gonna kill you!" Justice shrieked, as she staggered to her feet and swung wildly, only to keep missing.
"No…you will."
Crack!
Justice screamed out in pain as she felt her knee was dislocated as she felt a sharp heel enter her body and simply pop off the joint! "Ahh, you…bitch that…"
"Oh what's the matter…?" The voice said before it started to drift away as Justice heard her tone went from a jovial cocky voice…into quiet and worried once with the next words. "Naruto…"
Justice could feel her eyes widen, "Na…get out of here she's too strong get-!" She started feeling his arms wrap around her as she felt safe…Justice felt she could protect Naruto and win this fight…

But she couldn't… she couldn't save one measly life.

"Dammit…" Justice sighed to herself, as she shook her head. "The hell am I doing?" She questions herself sitting on a grassy hill watching Naruto skipping rocks. He wanted to make her relax and took her to his favorite place to get away from adults and where he first met Lucy nearby the park. "Sigh…guess I really deserve this…" she mumbled, taking out her sunglasses and putting them into her shirt pocket, and touching her closed eyelids.
She was stronger due to age, wisdom, experience and lastly…her previous mistakes.
But if you asked her? Honestly? She would trade it all for fixing that one mistake and be that naive fighter again. If it meant that guilt she has would just vanish, "I really wish I was more like Lu or Baps."
They were carefree and often never let things save for Naruto, keeping their heads level most of the time. She stood up and made her eyes stare into the sky, "Damn…" she mutter…before shouting, "I AMMMMM AAAAAAA HUGEEEEEEEEE DUMMMMMMMMMMMY!"
This of course shocked the poor boy hearing Justice scream her head off. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly she was shouting that for. But he smiled when the girl gave a loud laugh afterwards before falling back into the soft grass, "Ahh~ that felt good. And feel a lot better…" She added to herself, seemingly staring at the sky, even though she was blind. But at least she could feel the cool breeze rushing past her being. "This feels nice too…"
"…You ok?"
Justice looked to her left, where the voice came from, as she nodded, "Yeah…a lot actually. Ehehe, guess I've been filling my head with bad thoughts. But I'm feeling much better, Alley-Oop!" She leaned up to sit up straight, "Sorry to worry you again!"
Naruto could tell this time the woman meant it, but he still pouted, "Well help skip rocks, I don't want to go back to just playing with myself."
Justice snorted as she tussled Naruto's spiky hair, despite being the same height, "Sure thing, kiddo. Whatever you want." Ignoring his pout she grab a rock nearby and threw it, "How's-?"
BOOOM! THUD!
"Holy crap! You cause that tree to explode and fall down!" Naruto shouted in surprise when the girl's throw was so strong it blasted a hole into the trees causing it to timber, "What do you eat that caused this!?"
Justice chucked weakly, she completely forgot even at her causally level, she can easily demolish a house with a kick. "Uhh whoops? Damn," she flexed her hand to test her adjusted power and picked another stone. "Alright, let's try this again." She said, before throwing it again, this time around being more gentle. Naruto watched as she three again…it reached the other side with a skip, "…Did it work?"
"You suck…" Naruto mumbled as Justice chuckled.
"Hey man I'm blind as a elderly bat with messed up glasses, of course I suck." She joked until she felt Naruto hand on her own! Even someone as laid back as her felt off guard and squeak at the sensation, "Whoa what are you-"
He soon placed a rock in her hand and she felt his fingers tips showing her own, the flat side of the rock. "Here it's not power, you need the speed and spin,"
"Uh… o… kay?"
"Here." Naruto then guided her as he got behind her and held her wrist.
'What's the kid doing?' Justice thought to herself, feeling her face slowly burning. Soon she felt his body practically on hers as he turned her body to the right and then-
PIP, PIP, PIP, PIP, PIP!
"Ohhhh! Five times, awesome!" Naruto said as Justice chuckled softly at what he did.
The woman, in a child's body, sighed softly, "Five huh?" She said sitting on the grass once more and tossing another rock…hearing it skip a few times. "Four…"
Naruto threw another rock. "Three…"
Justice listened to the rather enjoyable splashes their rocks made, "For now…I'll just enjoy this moment." The woman whispered to herself as Naruto sat next to her.
"Aww, I couldn't get it past four." Naruto whined as he hoped to get a six-er this time.
"You'll get there, kid. It just takes practice and a lotta luck." Justice chuckled, ruffling his hair again. "Thanks,"
The blonde looked at her with curious eyes as Justice smiled at him tilting her head slightly, "It's nothing, let's get some ramen, my treat!" She smiled at the young man with a cute V-sign.
"Yeah! Pork miso ramen with an egg!" Naruto cheered, raising his arms in victory.
Justice cupped her chin, "Then tonkotsu ramen with extra pork, and maybe a nice tonkatsu cutlet!" She smiled widely as she placed her left hand on her waist.
Maybe today wasn't going to be so bad after all.

NARUTO'S NEW HOUSE

"We're home!" Justice and Naruto said watching Frank wearing a white apron and comically small chef's hat.
"Ah you guys, hope you brought some appetites, we're making fajitas." He said as Naruto looked at the name. "Small slices of meat with sautéed veggies, usually bell peppers and onions."
"Oh." Naruto nodded in understanding.
The man continued to place the table, and Naruto heard footsteps coming from the stairs to see that it was Lucy who came down, "Oh you guys are back?" She said looking at Frank with a satisfied smile, it took a while but now the golem
"Yup! Just had ramen with the kiddo." Justice grinned.
The girl sighed. Even in a new reincarnation her lover's fondness for that soup was always an odd thing she had to endure. She was more of a hearty stew woman than for noodles, "Of course." Lucy said with a slight exasperated smile.
As Naruto sat with the girls Lucy saw Baphomet walking to her holding a goat plushie in her hands, "Is it done?" The Queen of hell asked her arms crossing as the richest demon of hell nodded with a smirk.
"Yes it is~ all ready to go!" Giving the girl a small paper, "Don't know why you want a nightclub at this time. What's the point?"
Lucy smiled as she saw Naruto help Frank with setting the plates, "Precautions, we need the power and father knows that we are going to stay here for a long while. Might as well learn to keep a good ear on the ground and make some friends."
Baphomet giggled as she spoke, "Very well, your highness. The Nightclub shall be finished within the week, we got both night and day time crews. With the amount of money for both interior and exterior, all you need is some quality liquor and women and you're set."
Lucy raised an eyebrow, "What about-?"
"Setting is in the higher class people, adult chunin and Jonin tend to go to areas to help destress. I already got the prices down to the lowest for rent, water, power and gas bills, so even if you're in the red." Baphomet turned away with a smirk, "Unlikely with this many advantages, but again, the area is good. Wealthy clients, and a good amount of…our kind to exploit."
"Much appreciated, thank you." Lucy nodded.
Baphomet place a hand on her hips, "Remember, after you're first time…I get second dibs on getting fuck…with him in goat form!" She said with a smirk as Lucy frowned.
…
"Cute furry." Lucy demanded as Baphomet frowned, "…Human looks but his shaft can be a goat if you like." The Queen of hell compromised on her fellow demons fetish for such sinful delights.
The girl smiled even wider as she hugged her harem sister, "Eeek, you're the best Queen Lucifer!" However the woman lost her gleeful mood as she spoke in a serious manner, "Oh by the way, you're sure you want that name to be on the deed?"
Lucy nodded as she played around a strand of her hair, "Of course, never have I ever been ashamed of that name. Even when my sisters used it as a way to tell others not to be like me…I shall never let this name be changed."
The goat lover nodded solemnly as she went to the table to sit next to Naruto as Lucy looked at the deed to show a deed that said 'Nightclub: Lux' and smiled as the name showed who owns it.

Naruto's eyes opened as he felt a strange weight into his side and turned his head to Lucy who was whispering, "Micheal…don't hate me…" she whispered as she shivered in shame. "Micheal…"
The blonde watched her form, for the short time he knew her…the blonde felt that she would never be this way. He lay back down and moved his hands towards her and held it, showing her frown slowly vanished and once again sleep talk. "My…light…"
Naruto went back to sleep happy, his new sister was now ok, and fell asleep not realizing that Konoha was going to meet the one who rebelled in Heaven.
CHAPTER END
