Chapter 8

Naruto smoked his stick, blowing out some smoke as he walked down the hallway of his grandparents' home. He had a smile on his muzzle and the servants were happy to see him.

Except the one that rushed him with a knife aiming for the back of his neck. But the minute he got within range.

Naruto ducked under the slash and turned on his heel to face the unknown demon and slammed his right hand into his throat. His claws digging deep into his throat leaving him gurgling blood and falling to the ground gasping for air.

He sighed, "Great that is more blood to get out of the carpet but I'm sure the others won't mind cleaning up shit." Stopping on his face Naruto broke the demon's nose and then stopped on his throat killing him with a crunch.

In the last three days Naruto had calmed down a lot and was growing more comfortable with everything going on. More, he was happy to finally be free of the nagging feeling of his crotch and dealing with his instinct of fighting back and killing now becoming sated. He knew that his mother wouldn't approve but at this point he was just going to do it either way so he would just keep the killing to a minimum. Plus, Naruto was eager to start visiting more of the strip clubs in Hell to see if there is something to the whole dancers on the pole and the provocative removal of clothes.

At least while he is somewhat sober and aware of what the fuck is going on.

Which is why, walking down the hall after cleaning the blood off his hand and his feet, he walked into the throne room where Lilith was sitting.

Apparently it was tradition for the two of them to have at least one person in the throne as this allowed to them to view everything in Hell and know if there is something worth noting. It was some kind of creation of his grandfather, and it was meant to make sure his subjects knew better than to cross him or even think about hurting him or his family. It was especially true when one of the Sins, he thinks it was the one of Wrath basically said that he was going try and kill Charlie and prove his superiority or something.

From then on, the family never utters a word of Charlie to anyone or even dares to question why Lucifer slaughtered most of their family. They just thanked him for the mercy and promised that they would remember their place.

From experience knew the sins were powerful, he was certain he could take on one, maybe two of them at a time but anything else and he would probably die in those encounters. Especially true since some of them live up to their strength and reputation compared to others.

Back to the throne room he walked up to his grandmother who smiled,

"Hello dear having a hellish morning?"

Naruto shrugged, "Killed one of those dip shit servants that came here in the hopes of doing something 'grand' but other than that just smoking a stick."

Lilith smiled,

"That's good have you had a chance to look through your messages?"

"Yeah," Naruto looked through them and raised an eyebrow, "Somehow they all got my number, and it is just annoying. But many of them are just concerned about me and wondering how I am doing. I mean Cherri mentioned something about a Muppet attacking her, but I couldn't make it out too well and Verosika mentioned she was worried and hoped I come back soon."

"Oh?" Lilith's eyes sparkled, "Is someone hearing wedding bells with a certain succubus?"

Naruto blushed, "NO! I'm just touched she cares that much more than she wants to jump my dick!"

Lilith laughed, "I know dear, but you really should investigate possibly finding a mate of your own soon. I mean for fuck's sake; I'm still waiting on the girl that will snatch your heart."

Naruto shook his head, "Well besides that I just wanted to say goodbye to you and Grandpa as I'm heading back to patch things up with mom."

Lilith smiled and after stepping off the throne, she hugged him tightly,

"Call if you need anything and please let Charlie know that I love her. I haven't had the chance to reply to all her messages, but I think that should at least be something good for her no?"

"Yeah." Naruto pulled away and waved to Lilith, "Tell the old man that I'll be back for a rematch on his cheating ass!"

Lilith laughed watching her grandson walk out of the door and smile knowing things were going to get better for him.

Now if he would only find a fucking girl and start popping out some great grandbabies for her.

In the castle Lucifer watched as his grandson was leaving and could only sigh.
"Well there he goes." He swished his drink and looked on with a smile, "Off to that stupid hotel and to help Charlie with this ridiculous concept of redemption."

Lilith entered his office and frowned,

"Would it actually kill you to try to entertain the idea of Charlie's dream? I mean it is not completely outlandish you should know-,"

Lucifer growled and the glass cracked in his hand.

"Not another word about that."

Lilith frowned and sauntered up to her husband, who she put her arms around his neck, and just leaned into his back.

"You have to agree that the chance is there though right?"

Lucifer could only sigh before taking a small sip of his drink before pulling the glass away from his face,

"Whether it is there or not is irrelevant. Charlie doesn't know what is awaiting her at the end of this path and the last thing is I want for her is to find that nothing will amount from this mess."

"You don't know that." Lilith looked at the back of her husband's head, "For all we know maybe she is the thing the world needs to tip the scale and break away from our set cycle."

Lucifer sighed,

"You know that is just pity wishing and I refuse to do that." He twitched, "After all I had the same hope a long time ago and all it led was to this glorious fuck up."

Lilith leg go and turned her husband's face around,

"Are you saying coming to me was a mistake?"

Lucifer smiled,

"Darling if nothing else you're the best thing that came out of this other than Charlie." He frowned, "I just don't want her burned like I was."

Lilith kissed him on the lips,

"Honey, trust in her I promise things might not unravel like you fear. If they do then we will be there for her and she will grow from this experience. That is what matters the most no? Experience?"

Lucifer sighed,

"I guess, but no father no matter who wants to see their child heartbroken." He gripped his cane, "Not at their hands, I'll turn all their little pets into smears if they dare."

Lilith laughed a bit before pulling away from her husband, it was times like this she could see the man she loved and the man that loved those close to him. He was not one to mix his thoughts and feelings but when it came to their family, it was the one time that they were united.

Now if only the dumb fuck stopped being such a block head and told her daughter his reasonings and then MAYBE things could even out.

'Not like someone in Heaven doesn't know about this,' she tilted her head, 'Maybe that brother of his what was his name? Gabriel I think?' She shook her head, 'We shall see but first I better make arrangements for our visit in a couple of months. Can't wait to see the hotel.'

Lilith left the throne room almost skipping while Lucifer could only sweatdrop at his wife's unusual behavior. But then he felt something tingling on the back of his neck and narrowed his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

He turned his gaze to the shadows and his yellow eyes glowed with rage,

"You know better than to come here, so what is it you want?"

The person slowly emerged from the shadow and all one could make out of the person is their white wings and their halo.

The person smiled sadly,

"You sure haven't changed huh?"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes, "Neither have you-,"

IMP CITY

Verosika was not someone that you would describe as emotional. Not to the sense that she would think about someone all the time and care about their personal feelings. Just enough to the point they agree to fuck her and then after a few times, she gets bored and moves on.

But that is not the case today. Her studio called her and asked her to come to IMP city for a new photoshoot and while she wanted to turn it down she needed to get out of the hotel. It was so boring without her favorite hellhound there to keep her company and while he was refusing her advances she knew that some part of him saw her and her sex appeal. But he just didn't have the same, drive as most.

More, Naruto was reluctant and after the big fight she was not sure if calling Tex was the best thing considering she had reached out to him personally. If he thought she was butting in where she didn't need to be she was worried that meant he would stop talking or interacting with her at all.

She shivered at the idea.

The pink limo came to a stop, and she saw that she was outside of the photo shoot set and she just sighed trying to get herself mentally prepared for this. More, she was not sure she could be in the proper frame of mind.

From what she gathered this shoot was centered around the cover of her new album and drawing non-stop attention in the smallest bikini possible and while she didn't get to wear it at the hotel she was sure that she could while at the set. Her intentions were to one day use it as a means of seduction, but this could work either way. Just something that would sell her album and continue to keep her groupies happy while they fucked around while she is in the hotel.

Entering the building she just walked through the halls while hearing the hissing and moaning from some of the demons around her. While normally, she would entertain them and consider letting them have a little bit of fun with her, she couldn't care.

'Fucking lightweights probably wouldn't be able to handle me anyway.'

Climbing up the stairs she saw a door at the end of the hall with Tex standing there with a blank look on his face and she couldn't tell if he was annoyed or just worried.

"Tex." She smiled and he returned the smile, "How is everyone?"

"Pretty good boss, just keeping the idiots in line when I have to but sadly most can't stop trying to fuck anything that doesn't shake them off."

"I figured." Verosika rolled her eyes, succubus and incubus are always a handful, "Well anyway I'm heading in."

"Right." He opened the door but then snapped his fingers, "Right I almost forgot to mention, Naruto just texted me last night."

Verosika stopped in midstep, "HOW IS HE!"

Tex took a small jump from her loud voice but after he regained his hearing, "He's fine. He told me that he is going to be in town today and heading back to the hotel to talk to Charlie. So probably you'll see him this afternoon. But he asked me to meet up with him about something and I wanted to ask if I can take off after the shoot?"

Verosika got pensive but smiled, "Sure just let me know when he is on his way to the hotel okay?"

Tex rolled his eyes, his boss really needed to quit it.

"Sure."

Didn't mean he wouldn't tell her what she wanted to hear.

"Great!" Verosika entered the room and saw everyone was there and prepped.
Honestly, the girls were set and dressed up in their most revealing and in some cases more covered bikini bottoms and tops but the guys were just rocking speedos. While she could admit that some of them were hot in their outfits she knew that she had to be the standout in this case.

So, without warning she threw her fur coat to the side of the room which was caught by one of the rabid photographers, then took off her top and skirt revealing her bikini to the room. Most were shocked into silence while the girls were whistling and the Incubus she could feel their lust.

In all honestly her outfit was very revealing, but it was not to the level of just having pasties and band-aids like she would when going to the beach. But in this case she chose something more along the lines as a single swimsuit that had mid-drift opened for her breasts to bounce with the thin strips against her chest barely covering her nipples. If one looked carefully they could see some of the nipple skin underneath the straps. The crotch part of the swimsuit dug in between her ass cheeks making them stand out more pronouncedly and showing off her barely covered crotch to boot.

The room could only whistle and pant while it made her feel stronger she could honeslty say, she didn't give a flying fuck. Learning that her favorite hound is coming back to the hotel, she just wanted to get this shoot done with and head back as quickly as possible. That way, she could try and get his attention now that it sounds like he is going to be more open.

Not sure why she thought this but it was a gut feeling and her feelings are never wrong.

Stretching her arm she looked at her right arm and saw the tattoo that was there and the name she had crossed out.

Verosika frowned, honestly just thinking about her ex only pissed her off. It was something she held deep resentment for and one of the reasons she swore off ever dating an Imp.

Blitzo, he was a inconsiderate asshole and someone that just didn't seem to trust her in a relationship of any kind. Plus he blew through a lot of her money while they were dating as well and while money wasn't important to her, she was angry that he did that to her and never apologized.

That is all she ever wanted from him was an apology but no, he had to be a cynical asshole about everything and worse, blame her for other things. While true she was tempted at the time to try her luck with some men, since she was in a committed relationship she didn't bother. As she had too much respect for Blitzo at the time.

But after what he did. Yeah she got royally fucked up and had one of the biggest orgies ever and had managed to wear out all of her partners including quite a few incubuses and succubus.

She had thought about getting the stupid thing removed but for some reason she didn't want to and she couldn't explain it.

Maybe it was a reminder of why she hates him?

Was it to continue to hold onto the rage and anger in her heart?

Remind her that after he did this to her she ended up meeting Naruto by chance and forming a new bond from the ashes of the old one?

She didn't know but one thing was for sure she had never thought about getting rid of the tattoo.

Shaking her head, she focused on the photo shoot in which they had her get in the most provocative pose possible and the rest of her groupies joining in on the fun.

She would worry about her dickhead ex and the sexy hound later, for now she had to focus on business.

Pentagram City

Naruto had just ordered Xavier to stop at a nearby plant store and picked up the stuff he needed for his surprise gift for his mother. He knew that while validated, he really owed her big for his blow up and talking to her in such a way.

While it is true that he was tired and angry and hung-over at the time, he did regret his actions and some of the stuff he said. He knew that his mother was better to him than most and that he took advantage of her when he wanted something but still, he was willing to admit his faults and he knew that his mother would too if the conditions were right. Plus, Vaggie was driving him up a wall about everything going on from Cherri bomb and her run in with frog demon and his mother going through phase change.

Yeah, it was a weird time in hell since he has been gone.

An explosion ripped through the streets and Naruto looked forward seeing explosions and gun fire going off in all directions and he just stared as demons were running away.

"Fuck me can't I get a break from idiots?" Looking at Xavier, "Take the back route home, I'll catch up later."

"Of course Lord Morningstar!" The limo quickly backed up and he was gone down the street before Naruto could correct him.

"I'm gonna kill him one day I know it. That or I'll turn him into a chew toy." Naruto shook his head and proceeded down the streets of the city seeing piles of corpses all around and he couldn't help but whistle.

"Fuck."

"Who are you?"

Naruto turned his head and saw four piles set up but the one in the center consisting of a green frog standing at the top of the pile.

"Huh, a muppet?"

"Finally! Someone gets it right!"

"Cool. So you're the frog I have heard about beating up demons and even killing a few smaller Overlords."

"Right." He jumped off the pile, "Why are you asking?"

Naruto shook his head and glared, "Because you beat up a friend of mine named Cherri Bomb and while she might not be a close friend she is still a friend and MY underling so that is a big problem."

The frog snapped his finger,

"You're the Hellhound I heard about." His eyes narrow a bit, "So you have come to challenge me to a battle have you? Then let us begin."

Soon epic music starts, all Naruto could think is,

"Is this the fucking music from Godzilla vs. Kong?"

"Flabbergasted?"

Naruto shook his head and rolled his arms before priming his claws for battle,

"Not even close dick head."

The two demon stared at one another before one roared and the other shouted,

"LERRRRRROOOOOOYYYYY GENNNNNNKKKKKKIIIINNNNSSS!"

The two appeared in a blur in front of each other and in that split second, they hear something drop on the ground.

Looking down both of them see it is a bag of green stuff.

"My Pot!/My Pot!"

Both looked up and glared,

"Your Pot?/Your Pot?"

Ten minutes later

Naruto and Kermit are sitting on a corner and Kermit has a huge blunt in his hands while Naruto has a smaller one.

Both took deep inhales and released the puff of smoke.

"So," Naruto turned to him, "We cool?"

"Yeah." Kermit smiled, "I'll stick to the south areas since those seem to be up for grabs while you and Cherri keep everything else."

"Yeah by the way why did you fuck her up? She never specified why?" He took a inhale of his stick.

"Well she called me Seasame Street. Do you know how many motherfuckers in this place have done that to me?"

"I'm guessing quite a few." Naruto smiled and Kermit shared in it,

"Oh yeah I have fucked people up because of it but thanks to this, I have nothing to go for my name."

"Why because copyright shit?"

"Yep."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, that was new.

Then he snapped his fingers, "Right gramps made that ages ago just to piss people off when they couldn't use his likeness or even things he said was his. I think it was meant to fuck with God or something."

"Probably, but anyway I am Kermit but I'm not THE Kermit." He took a deep inhale, "Honestly, my time in hell has been horrible."

"How?" Naruto took a small inhale looking at what others might not see, a tired and worn-out frog.

"Well take your pick; first my ex takes all my shit and leaves me with nothing but a empty feeling, my dick head of a brother stole what cash I had left, and finally I can't seem to get another lap dance from Ginger."

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Ginger really?"

Kermit sat up straight,

"You know her?"

Naruto rolled his eyes,

"Yeah that club that she works at is one that owes me favors." Standing up and taking another hit, "Come on."

"Huh where are we going?"

Naruto turned to the frog and walked past him, "Where else we are going to get you a lap dance."

Kermit needed hear nothing else.

Two hours later

Tex and his girlfriend had walked into the club.

He had gotten a text from Naruto stating he was hanging out here and he was not sure why. But when he peered through the door he saw Naruto chilling in one corner, and he was smoking another stick of weed and he could see the hound was completely relaxed. He also had purple skinned demon rubbing her ass all over him and he just seemed to be taking it in stride.

In another corner he saw Ginger, a very sexy succubus, doing a big rounded lap dance for some kind of frog who was watching her with a big grin on his face.

Ginger was known for having some of the biggest titties in this place and Tex knew for a fact that she was more than willing to let people touch and suck if the money was right. But by the looks of it, Naruto had pulled some strings and now the frog demon that was raising hell isi getting some extra attention thanks to it.

Naruto, waving at Tex, shouted,

"Take a seat anywhere man and relax I'm not going anywhere for a bit!"

"Alright!" Turning to his girlfriend he smiled, "You want to give me a lap dance?"

His girlfriend gave him a raised eyebrow, putting her hand on her hip, and staring straight into his one red eye.

"You got cash?"

Tex patted his pocket and felt around until he saw he had a card but no cash.

"Fuck."

She smiled,

"Sorry looks like-,"

"Hey I'll cover him so stop teasing the poor hound!"

Naruto held up a huge wad of cash which made everyone in the room sweatdrop,

'Where is he hiding that kind of cash?'

Shrugging her shoulders, she motioned Tex into a corner before walking into the back quick and then coming back out wearing a very revealing outfit.

"Alright my lovely hound, shall we see how long you can restrain yourself before we go into the VIP room?"

"Oh, hell yeah baby."

Certain people were having different reactions to the pictures and videos being uploaded of Naruto and the others being in there.

Charlie, she was taking deep breaths and muttering something to herself while trying to focus on what she wanted to say to her son when he came back to the hotel.

Vaggie was focusing on calming her down while yelling at Angel for bothering Husker who was just ignoring them all.

Alastor was just smiling and one could hear the static echoing out of his mouth and the confusion written on his face.

Loona, who was looking for anything new on her phone, had an annoyed frown on her face and starting looking at herself in the mirror.

"I'm better looking than that slut right? Well, I know I'm cleaner than her thanks to the medicine."

Hearing a ring she saw a text message and it was from Naruto,

N: Hey Loona got back into town and planning on spending some time at the hotel but after I get settled back in want to meet up?

L: Sure, what do you want to do?

Loona felt her heart in her throat.

N: Well I know that you didn't go through the Hound Training Program so how about we meet up and we can see how much training you need for hand to hand?

Loona frowned a bit but then smiled, this would be perfect.

L: Sure how about you let me know when your free?

N: Sure see you then.

Loona walked over to her bed and fell backwards with a smile on her face. She was going to milk this next chance for everything it was worth.

Verosika on the other hand was watching the video and glared. While she was happy eh was becoming more open about sexual stuff, it didn't mean she liked him being touched by other women. She was not going to lose damn it! Seeing this as a challenge she decided that maybe it was time to change up tactics at the hotel and see how they work.

Octavia on the other hand was watching the video and frowned. While she was not a sexual demon or something akin, she did have to admit Naruto had some odd tastes.

"Makes me wonder if he would like me?" She stared down at her body and frowned. While she was about C-cup for sure and had a Lilith body compared to most, she had to say with all honestly was not the most sexual like creature out there. It was more of a preference than anything else.

But she saw him relaxing and smoking so she figured that maybe, just maybe he was starting to explore his feelings more?

If that is the case she need to find a way to meet up with him again and stake her claim, she was not going to lose out.

Naruto on the other hand, he just sneezed a bit and offered the woman some more money and sees her bare tits.

He knew that the next few days were going to be a rollercoaster so might as well enjoy some of the freedom that he will have while he could.
