Yo! Sorry for the wait everyone, Dying Light 2 recently released and I got obsessed with it. This'll be my first time writing fight scenes as a whole so I'm still a bit unsure how I did but I hope you guys enjoy it. Once again I give my thanks to B4TM4N-WH0-L4U6H5 for helping and going back and forth with me. Other than that please comment and let me know what you guys think!
A beautiful sunset could be seen on the horizon of Kuoh Academy. A small group of students were walking into the forest surrounding the old school building.
"So, where are we going?" Naruto asked as he looked in the forest, while nowhere near as big as the Hidden Leaf's, it did remind him of it, or maybe it was just nature making him feel nostalgic.
"There's a small lake around here, I thought it would be the perfect place for a spar." Rias answered. In truth she wanted to use the environment to her advantage, it wasn't like Naruto could walk on water or fly.
Naruto nodded in agreement, a place isolated from society would be the best. He was bound to cause some chaos.
As the group traveled, Naruto introduced himself to the last two members of Rias's peerage. Kiba Yuuto, the Prince of Kuoh as the fangirls would call him, was a blond-haired young man, he had bluish-gray eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. Naruto got the distinctive feeling Kiba was a closet pervert. You don't stay around a group of ladies and not have some dirty thoughts. Or he could be wrong and Kiba was gay but that seemed really unlikely. Those thoughts aside Kiba was a really polite guy and someone that Naruto could get along with really well.
The other member was the mascot of Kuoh Academy, Koneko Toujou. She was a short and slender girl, with snow-colored hair and had two long bangs that went past her shoulders. Attached to one of her bangs was a black cat hairpin. She also had hazel-colored eyes that added to her cuteness. Koneko was a stoic girl, that brought back memories of a red-headed friend. Naruto imagined he wouldn't have to fight her in a life or death situation to become friends.
As the group neared the small lake Naruto felt a small tug on his sleeve. He looked down and saw it was Koneko. "Yo. What can I do for you Lil'Neko?"
Koneko twitched at the nickname. "Senpai… how do you have chakra?"
"What do you mean? I was born with it, how else would I have chakra?"
Koneko furrowed her brows ever so slightly. "You smell human, but I also smell fox. Are you some long lost descendant of a fox yokai?"
"Ara~ maybe that would explain the whiskers."
Naruto hummed in thought before he shrugged his shoulders. "As far as I know, I'm not. You see before I met Issei, I grew up as an orphan in a village hidden by nature. Everyone in the village was human, and we all could use chakra. The village even had an academy that taught the basics of it."
The peerage, especially Kiba grew solemn when Naruto mentioned his orphan status. They knew he was eventually adopted into the Hyoudou family, but they didn't know exactly when.
Kiba spoke up and asked, "So how did you end up in Kuoh?"
Naruto chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "That's the thing. I can't remember."
This shocked everyone, and before he could elaborate, they arrived at the lake.
Naruto had a huge grin. "Alright! We're finally here!"
Recovering from the blond's announcement of amnesia, the peerage began to prepare for the spar. Koneko put on a pair of cat-themed fighters gloves, Kiba created a sword, and Akeno began to transform into her shrine maiden attire.
The moment Akeno began to change Naruto did his best not to ogle at the sadist, but damn it, she was going through one of those magical girl transformations that Issei talked about! He couldn't help but look!
Akeno noticed the perverted look Naruto was giving her and had a teasing smile. "Ara~ did something catch your eye whiskers."
Naruto looked away with a tint of pink. "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."
Akeno pouted at that response, he used her words against her.
Rias chuckled at the small banter between her [Queen] and hopefully a new member of her peerage. "As much as I'd love to see you two go back and forth we do need to plan some things out."
Naruto nodded in understanding and began to walk a good distance away from the peerage. He grinned in excitement, he wondered what plan Rias would come up with to use against him.
"Buchou are you sure we should be going all out against him? He is only human?" Kiba asked as he didn't want to accidentally skewer a potential new friend and member.
Rias shook her head at Yuuto's question. Normally she would understand, but Naruto wasn't a normal human, he had unexpected abilities and hidden talents. She wanted to find out what they were. "Yuuto, normally you'd be correct but Naruto isn't a normal human, he has shown Akeno and I a unique ability with chakra. I'm curious to see what else he has so I'd like to treat this as seriously as possible and learn what other abilities he has."
Kiba nodded in understanding, while Koneko wondered what ability he showed with chakra. How different was his use of chakra compared to a yokai's? Could she learn to utilize it the same as him? She had many questions with no answer, hopefully, by the end of this spar, she'd get some.
As Koneko's thoughts came to an end Rias began explaining her plan to the peerage.
~ADB~
Naruto stood in the field with an excited grin, it had been a long time since he had any type of combat. As he waited for the devils to make their move he saw a blond blur coming towards him with a blade. He smiled, Kiba was fast but nothing he couldn't keep up with. He quickly summoned a clone and transformed it into a kunai and met Kiba blade to blade.
Kiba widened his eyes slightly, he could make clones that much he knew based on what Rias told him. Transforming it into a weapon was something he did not expect. Suddenly he felt his sword being torn through like butter as he saw a translucent coat over the kunai before it popped out of existence. Kiba quickly tried to back away and create another sword only to be pushed back towards Naruto when a clone's foot met his back.
Naruto began to pressure Kiba with his clone only for his instincts telling him to move. For a brief moment, he saw a flash of white and a small fist heading straight towards his face.
*poof*
Koneko swore she hit the blond man. Instead, a smashed log that had seen better days was in his place and he was nowhere to be seen. She looked towards Kiba who gave her a grateful nod as he recreated a demonic blade and cut down the surprised clone.
Naruto had comical eyes as he realized that punch would have turned him into mush. 'Note to self, don't get hit by Lil'Neko.' He quickly made another clone and charged at the two from behind. Only for the original to dodge as a bolt of lightning flew down and popped the clone giving away his position.
"Aw~ You dodged."
Naruto looked up and saw the ultimate sadist in all her glory. "Hey! Don't think just cause you can fly I can't get to you!"
"Ufufu~ I'd like to see you try whiskers."
Kiba and Koneko charged at the blond while he was distracted, unfortunately, before they could reach him he made his move.
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A large amount of smoke could be seen popping into existence. Koneko shuddered at the amount of chakra that permeated the air. As the smoke dissipated hundreds of Naruto clones were seen. Some were standing in trees, some on land, and some were even standing on water. This left the devils in absolute awe, how many clones could he make and how were they standing on water!?
Unfortunately for the devils, they didn't have the luxury of just standing there in awe because the clones started charging. Some were being thrown towards Akeno who began to prepare a wide area of attack spell in an attempt to get rid of the army of clones. While Koneko and Kiba did their best to fend off the ones that decided to charge at them. But every time they offed a clone it was like a new one would take its place.
While they were struggling with the clones Naruto sat on a tree a bit away from the chaos and began to chuckle. His goal was to find Rias while his clones distracted the other three. Instincts flared as he felt an immense energy fly towards him, he jumped off the tree and saw it vanish into nothing as black energy hit it. He whistled at that power, it reminded him of old man Onoki's dust release.
"I take it you like tormenting my peerage?" An amused smile could be seen on Rias.
Naruto let out a snort. "Don't think you're exempt from my chaos."
As he said those words another clone jumped out of the woodworks and tackled Rias.
Rias grunted before she flew up with the clone and erased it with her Destruction. As soon as it was gone she saw Naruto throwing multiple clones that seemed to hold onto a glowing blue ball. That looked like it would hurt if it got anywhere near her. She decided to obliterate all of them before they had the chance to hit her.
Naruto clicked his teeth in thought, she had an ability that could basically erase his existence if he wasn't careful. It wasn't the first time he'd dealt with an ability like that, but he couldn't unleash anything too powerful either, he didn't want to accidentally kill his new sparring mates. The Rasengan was one thing because he could tone down the power but any other iteration of it was overkill. Maybe Rias could do the same but he wasn't willing to find out.
Suddenly he got an influx of memories from his clones. He saw images of them being devastated by Akeno's rain of lightning, and Kiba summoning a field of swords. Koneko just punched a ton of them into each other making them pop. Naruto smirked, he supposed he could stop holding back for just a bit. He jumped towards Rias and left a small crater on the ground.
Rias widened her eyes in surprise, suddenly Naruto's power increased dramatically. He was directly next to her when she heard.
"Sexy Jutsu: Reverse Harem Jutsu!"
Multiple clouds of smoke appeared, and out came various characters from multiple anime naked as the day they were born. Rias looked on with her mouth agape, a stream of blood could be seen coming from her nose, she recognized all of them. How did he know!? The only one who should know anything about her obsession was Akeno. Suddenly the harem ended and what she could presume was the original Naruto, tackled her.
"G-gotcha!" Naruto tried his best to hold in laughter, he didn't think that would work. He only picked characters from shows Issei forced him to watch. Who knew Rias would fall for that. Apparently, there was more to her than he had initially thought.
As the two fell, Naruto created a bunch of shadow clones to use as a cushion. Once they landed Rias had a small swirl in her eyes as she imagined her harem of personal heroes. Only to awaken from her stupor with Naruto setting her down and leaning her on a tree.
"W-what happened?"
"I used my ultimate technique and you couldn't handle it."
"O-oh…"
Naruto had a teasing grin. "I didn't peg you for an otaku."
Rias's face flushed instantly as she pointed at Naruto. "Erase that from your memory! No one is supposed to know!"
Naruto chuckled at her reaction. "I won't tell a soul."
Rias searched Naruto's eyes, she tried to find anything that would lead to deceit. But all she saw was ocean blue eyes that held warmth within them, he was telling the truth and she relaxed at the thought.
"Right before you used that perverted attack, I felt your power rise massively. How'd you get so strong?"
"Lots of hard work and lots of training. I have some things I want to protect. I can't do that If I don't put in the effort to acquire that strength."
For a moment she was reminded of her black-haired cousin before she turned her thoughts to what he said. "Do you think I could achieve strength like that?"
Naruto showed her an infectious smile. "Of course! You already have something you want to protect don't you?"
Rias could sense her peerage rushing to her side. No doubt they felt Naruto's spike in power. With a small smile, she said, "Yeah… I do."
"Then how about I help you attain that strength?"
"W-what? Why would you want to?"
"Because we're friends now y'know."
Rias stared at the whiskered blond in disbelief, before she let out a chuckle and it turned into full-blown laughter. Naruto Uzumaki really was a strange guy, and yet there was something about him that made her want to put her trust in him.
Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko arrived at the scene and were surprised to see Rias laughing and relaxing with the blond. Especially after the massive energy surge.
"Ara~ When did you two get so close?"
Naruto perked up when he heard Akeno. A huge grin was plastered on his face. "I hit her with my-"
"STOP STOP STOP! You promised you wouldn't say anything!"
Naruto looked towards Rias before he turned to Akeno and slowly made the motion of zipping his mouth shut.
Koneko and Kiba merely raised an eyebrow at their [King], it had been a while since they had seen her like this. Akeno had a mixed look of amusement and disappointment. On one hand, Rias was flustered and it was always amazing to see her like this, on the other hand, what did Naruto do to make her this flustered? Before she could ponder more about this situation a phone's ringtone could be heard.
"Ah, it's Issei, sorry I gotta take this."
The peerage nodded in understanding. Even though the phone wasn't on speaker due to their enhanced hearing they could still hear the conversation between the two brothers.
("Bro! I couldn't wait to tell you~ I actually got a date this weekend!")
"You're kidding me!?"
("Like hell I am! Her name is Amano Yuuma and she's one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen!")
"Mmhmm… What does she look like!? Don't tell me she's in your imagination!?"
("Of course not! I'm not delusional you jackass!")
Naruto snorted at his little brother's response. He actually got a date, he'd have to show him support.
"I'm glad for you Issei, since you called I just wanted to let you know I joined the Occult Research Club."
Issei spat out the soda he was drinking. ("H-how!? WHY!?")
"I told you I was friends with Akeno! It's not my fault you didn't believe me. Anyways, Rias asked me if you wanted to join to club as well."
("FUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!")
Naruto deadpanned, closed his phone, and looked at Rias. "Well, Issei said he'd be down to join the club. I just need you to explain the whole concept of the supernatural to him."
Rias chuckled at the conversation between the two brothers. Issei was kind of like an excitable puppy except he was a massive pervert. "Of course, I am a lady of my word, I'll watch over him in case anything happens."
~ADB~
A couple of days have passed since the spar with Rias and her peerage. Naruto was going over a few things with Issei to make sure the date went well.
"Here this is the outfit dad used when he first went on a date with mom." Naruto handed Issei, a black shirt, black pants, and a lilac-colored jacket.
"Whaat!? I don't want hand me downs!"
"Don't complain damn it! It's a free and good looking outfit, plus you save money for the date so just take it!"
Issei grumbled a bit before he eventually accepted the outfit. "Thanks bro…"
"Heh, no worries, I can't have you embarrassing the family."
"You jerk!"
"Anyways do you actually have a date plan?"
"Of course I do!"
Issei proceeded to tell Naruto about said plan. He planned on walking around initially and going window shopping with Yuuma before buying her an accessory. From there they'd go grab a bite to eat, spend the evening together and learn a bit more about each other. Maybe he'd get lucky and get a kiss by the end of the date, or heck he'd move straight to home base!
Naruto smiled at his brother's plan, it was simple but for a first date, it wasn't bad. He wished Issei lucked and hoped it would work out.
~ADB~
The date was a success! Issei never felt more excited in his life until today, He and Yuuma were walking towards a small park as the sunset. She said she had a favor to ask of him. Would he get his first kiss today!? Would he finally learn the feeling of what it was like to touch some boobs!?
The couple stopped in the middle of the park, and Yuuma looked towards Issei with her violet eyes. This was it, it was time to initiate her plan and kill this lowly human, hopefully, Azazel and Shemhazai would commend her. After all, this was all for the good of the Fallen Angels, she could not accept this human as a threat to her kind.
"I-issei…"
"Y-yeah Yuuma?"
"W-will you…"
"What do you need from me? I'll gladly do everything I can for you."
"Will you die for me?"
"H-huh? I think I heard wrong could you repeat that?"
Yuuma had a wicked smile on her face. "I said… Will you die for me?" As she said these words, she grew taller and her clothes were instantly shredded and replaced with a rather risque outfit. It consisted of black leather straps covering her breast, a thong-like piece held up by her hips with tree thin straps. Long thigh-high boots and gloves covered her arms. She even had shoulder guards, but the biggest change was that she had black feather-like wings appearing out of her back.
Issei widened his eyes in surprise as Yuuma began to change. "Holy shit that's hot."
Just as he was about to ask what the hell was going on, Yuuma formed a pink spear of light and threw it at him. Issei barely dodged the spear as he sidestepped it and jumped away from the Fallen Angel.
"Aw~ I thought I could end it right there."
"Yuuma what the hell!?"
"Don't take that tone with me you pathetic boy! You don't know me nor my true name!"
Issei didn't want to believe what he just heard. Was everything she said to him a lie? The thought of her manipulating him caused his chest to hurt. She was the first girl to show actual interest in him.
"Then let me get to know you!"
Raynare laughed at the pervert. "G-get to know me!? Ew, like hell you will. I lied about everything, I used you just so I could kill you!"
Issei's heart shattered at her words. "Why… what did I do to make you want to kill me?"
"Oh it's nothing you did. It's what you have."
For a moment Issei wondered what she was talking about. All of a sudden memories from childhood emerged and he saw a red gauntlet attached to his left arm.
"So you're after the gauntlet that I have huh?"
"Oh? You're aware of your sacred gear?"
"Didn't know what it was called til now, so thanks."
"Who cares, it's not like it'll change anything. You'll die, right here right now."
Issei felt a surge of anger spark in his heart. "I don't know about that."
Issie's arm began to glow, and what appeared was a red gauntlet with two golden spikes and a giant green jewel in the center.
[BOOST]
Issei felt power flowing through him. He dashed towards the girl formerly known as Yuuma. "Like hell I'll die here! Take this!"
Raynare smirked at the fool's attempt of a punch. She casually dodged and created a spear of light to stab him through the back. Only for him duck and roll out the way. An eye twitch could be seen coming from her. The pervert wasn't supposed to live this long, he was supposed to have died the first time she threw her spear.
[BOOST]
Issei felt another burst of energy come forth. "Whoa. This stuff is amazing."
Raynare widened her eyes in surprise. "Impossible! You were supposed to have a twice critical!" A small tinge of fear built up within her, there was no way this brat had the legendary Boosted Gear. She flew into the sky and began to create multiple spears of light. Only for her to be shot down by a lightning strike.
"That should help your brother whiskers."
"Thanks, I didn't think to teach him how to fight flying opponents yet."
Issei looked towards the direction of the lightning bolt only to see a shrine priestess sitting on the roof of a nearby building. Before he could question who that was, he heard a thump hit the ground.
"I don't know who did that but thanks!"
Issei didn't hear a response but his focus was back on the mysterious chick with wings. "Are you done!? There's no way I'm gonna let you kill me!"
Raynare felt nothing but pure rage, this wasn't how this was supposed to go. First, the pervert didn't die by her spear when she revealed herself. Second, he apparently held a legendary Longinus. Third, he had someone watching over him! Probably a disgusting devil if she had to go by territory.
"I… I won't die here! Not to you! Not to a filthy fucking human!"
Raynare once again began to create multiple spears of light and began throwing them as soon as they were made.
Issei dodged spear after spear but he soon found himself beginning to slow down. 'Shit! The moment I stop moving she's gonna turn me into a shish kabob. C'mon you stupid gauntlet give me something more!'
[EXPLOSION]
The gauntlet on Issei's hand grew and now covered his entire hand, and looked to cover half of his arm. It now had claws as a replacement for his fingers, and it seemed like the rest of it served to shield his arm.
"Whoa! Now that's what I'm talking about!" Issei felt a massive surge of power flow through him. The speed of the spears was beginning to slow down, he was getting faster! He had a chance! Suddenly he found a spear, heading straight towards his face. 'Crap!' He instinctively blocked the spear with his left arm and was surprised to find the spear dissipating.
Terror began to encompass Raynare, this fucking animal was now surpassing her in power. Was this the true power of the Boosted Gear or was this his potential!? Before she could even attempt to cast another spear, she found herself being blitzed by the mongrel. She tried to escape from his assault but it was for naught as she saw a red blur swiftly punch her lights out.
"That was all she wrote." Issei let out a sigh of relief, only to tense again as he saw a red magic circle appear, and some leaves floating about. He noticed two people step out of the magic circle, and they were the Great Ladies of Kuoh, Rias Gremory, and Akeno Himejima.
"H-holy crap what are you doing here!?"
Before they could answer, a swirl of leaves appeared around the two, and out came his older brother who had a proud smile.
"Naruto!?"
"Issei, I'm glad all that training didn't go to waste."
Issei only nodded his head in disbelief, before asking, "What the hell is going on!?"
He was eventually caught up with the situation and was told the same thing the two ladies told his brother.
Issei looked towards Rias. "So… You want me to join your peerage because I have this gauntlet called the Boosted Gear?"
"Yes, and It's not just because of that. Now that you've awakened the Boosted Gear you will be continually targeted no matter what you do. I am offering you my protection, along with the chance to learn how to harness your Boosted Gear's abilities."
Issei looked towards his brother. "Did you become a devil Naruto?"
"Nope, I'm human. Rias couldn't turn me into a devil unless she got much stronger than me."
Rias knew he was right but, it didn't mean she had to like it. "You just have an insane amount of chakra! Don't let it get to your head, I'll catch up and make you mine!"
"Ara~ That's quite a bold statement."
"Not like that Akeno!"
Issei looked utterly shocked, he knew his brother was abnormally strong if the training sessions they had were to go by. No, what truly shocked him was seeing the famous redhead act her age. It was the complete opposite of how she usually presented herself. He let out a soft chuckle, she wasn't this untouchable person that the school made her out to be.
"About that offer to join you peerage… Can I have some time to think about it?"
Rias looked towards the boy. "Of course, just don't forget that as a devil you'll be one step closer towards your dream."
Issei instantly perked up at the mention of that. "You have my attention."
"Ufufu~ Whiskers your brother sure is an excitable one isn't he."
Naruto facepalmed, he knew this was how it would go.
"You should know, it's common for devils to have their own harems."
"I WANT TO BE A DEVIL!"
Rias smiled at his answer, this situation turned out a lot better than she could have hoped for. She'd attain the Red Dragon Emperor as her [Pawn], and she befriended his older brother. Who in turn would serve as a good partner to strengthen her and the entire peerage. With this maybe she'd be able to escape her arranged marriage. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a groan coming from the downed fallen angel.
"So what are we going to do about her?" Naruto asked as he pointed towards the downed grunt.
