Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a new chapter for Devil Of The Elemental Nations.
Firstly, I'm so sorry for not posting sooner as I was extremely busy with work. A massive contract has landed in our lap and I'm in charge of Spearheading this project. The leader.
As a result of this, it will take longer for me to post chapters. Please bear with me during this time.
Thank you for staying with me.
So, the last place we left off was where Naruto had taken down Kokuyo and also found something strange. Kokuyo was given demonic powers that was not possible for a regular human to have such powers. The only ways to have a human gain demonic powers without becoming corrupted was one of two ways. 1. They were once influenced by demonic powers like how Naruto was. Or 2. They were born with demonic blood in their veins.
We also saw that when it comes to a mission, Naruto is not afraid of firing at an ally if they get in his way. Shown when he shot Nakuma.
What will be happening next?
Also, this chapter has been renamed
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 7: Welcome Home.
Finally making it back to the gates of Mist, Yakumo and Naruto found Mei and the civilians that couldn't wait for their savior to return stood before them.
All cheered at the safe return of their resident Demon Hunter and his companion, Mei approached the sole being that had been on her mind ever since that fateful encounter.
"Welcome home." she purred as a warm smile crept onto her face as she intently eyed out her crush.
"Great to be home." replied Naruto returning the same smile.
"The annual Festival of Blades and Claws is happening this afternoon. We can't wait!" cheered a civilian.
Sighing as he slightly lowered his head, Naruto smiled a bit.
The Festival of Blades and Claws. An annual reminder of the day Naruto liberated Mist from the oppression of demons. He didn't like the whole festival as he'd rather just treat it like a normal day. But he played his part and ensured the morale of the populace was kept high.
He knew for a fact that something was moving in the shadows of the Elemental Nations. And it just made its first move. Keeping the morale of people high was a good thing. But also, was a double-edged sword. It placed a lot of pressure on him as the people saw him as an all-powerful being. A powerhouse. Akin to a god.
Should he so much as fail them once. Their views on him being their protector would be shattered. Broken. He'd have failed in the mission Sparda gave him. Protect the innocent.
After being swarmed by his fanbase of village women who swooned over him like a set of concubines to an Emperor would. Naruto finally arrived at his simple two storey shop. Devil May Cry.
Sliding the key in and unlocking the shop, he opened the door and made his way to his desk. A simple mahogany Victorian styled desk with a phone resting on it's top. A similar Victorian designed chair stood patiently behind the desk. Awaiting his arrival. To the side, a lounger of the same design rested. Used more for customers. Or more like Yakumo to laze around on.
Finally reaching his destination, Naruto sat down with Yakumo hovering above him before floating down and resting herself with her head on his and her arms around his shoulders.
Pulling out the object he pocketed, Naruto scanned it in detail. Something didn't sit right with him. None of his encounters came close to this level.
"Still troubled over it?" asked Yakumo looking at the object as well.
"Something is very wrong. Something is seriously going wrong here. A human given the powers of a demon. Under normal circumstances, a human would go insane and instantly explode from the amount of raw power in a single drop of demonic power. Unless the exceptions are followed through. Being me and whatnot. But this. This defies reason." spoke Naruto scratching his head.
Yakumo grabbed the object and laid it on the table. Flying over him and plopping herself on his lap, she gazed into his eyes as he did with her.
"You're Naruto Sparda. Son of the legendary Sparda. You can't worry yourself over something so simple. It will come to you. I promise."
Giving him a rather incredible and passionate kiss on the lips, Yakumo moaned into the kiss as she felt him respond.
"Just enjoy yourself. Let loose for a bit. Ensure you are rested. I know you don't really enjoy the festival. But use this to rest. You've been pushing yourself too hard"
Thinking about it for a bit. Yakumo spoke the truth. Naruto had indeed been pushing himself too hard. The pressure of keeping face with the people and ensuring his job as protector was done properly. It was all too much for him. He needed to vent. To unwind. To relax.
Agreeing with her, Naruto got into a shower and waited for the festival to begin. But at the same time, feed Yakumo while in the shower. The locals didn't even bother to stop them as they knew not to speak about the estranged companion Naruto had with him. At first it was vulgar and crude to the point where a riot almost started. But again, overtime they got used to it. Knowing exactly to the very second what time of the day Naruto would give Yakumo her daily feedings.
After a few hours, the Festival of Blades and Claws was finally underway. Music played from the village center as couples were seen dancing with each other. Streets lined with a myriad of lanterns. Decorating the streets in brilliant lime, yellow and red colors. Watching as Yakumo floated from stall to stall. Eating sample after sample and savoring each flavor she could get her hands on.
Naruto soon felt a presence next to him. Looking to who it was, he found Mei who was sporting a massive blush.
"I received the message from a hawk sent by Shizuka. Apparently, you turned down her offer to pay you for your services." she spoke trying to sound professional while also trying to ensure her feelings didn't overcome her.
"The village was wrecked when I finished the fight. Shizuka couldn't pay the full amount and I didn't want to look like a bad guy by taking money from someone who couldn't pay the full price. So, I didn't take it." was Naruto's only response.
"Truly a man of such humble lines. You are truly a man of such virtue." spoke Mei as she watched Naruto finish his drink.
Deciding to let her heart take the lead, Mei spoke.
"I have a secret stash of vintage whiskey in my office. Want to come up and have some with me?" she spoke with a slight hint of seduction.
"Can't turn down a good whiskey." spoke Naruto.
One of his great pleasures was a good whiskey. And for Mei to say she had some vintage whiskey. Was all too surreal. Taking her up on the offer, the two walked to the office Mei worked in and walked into said office. Towers of papers waiting for their stamp of approval stood tall at the corners of the desk. Naruto had to stabilize himself before he could be overwhelmed by the mere presence of such a daunting task.
Mei paid no mind to the stacks of pages and went straight to her portrait that hung on the wall. Pulling it off the wall reveal a safe.
"Got to love the classics." chimed Naruto with Mei smiling at his statement.
"I just love a good cliché now and then." she spoke as she opened the safe after giving it the combination on the dial.
Pulling out the bottle she grabbed two glasses and poured for herself and Naruto. Handing him a glass, they looked to each over and took a blissful sip.
Moaning at how good that felt, Naruto tilted his head back in splendor.
"Fuck that's good." he spoke with Mei smiling before setting her glass down.
"Listen Naruto. You are one type of man that knows how to get what they want. Power, money, women." she said as she leaned against the desk, pushing her chest out slightly to make herself sexier. "Yet, you don't. Why is that?"
Looking to her as he set the glass down on the desk, Naruto moved with incredible speeds and pinned Mei on her own desk. Paper flew everywhere as a small eep of surprise escaped her lips as she felt her wrists grabbed by Naruto with him straddling her. His groin dangerously close to hers. Their lips almost touching. Their eyes blazed with passion.
Leaning further down, Naruto moved his lips to her ear. The heat of his breath on her neck felt like electricity pulsing through her veins to the auburn-haired beauty.
"Do you truly wish to know?" spoke Naruto is an extremely husky voice that only made Mei grow wet with excitement and anticipation.
Nodding her head for not trusting her own voice, she watched as Naruto returned to his first position. His eyes now gaining a reddish tint to them that emphasized his rugged look.
"I have all this power yes. But I choose not to use it to bully others. Power can be a gift. But also, can be a curse. Power has a rather happy knack for corrupting others. When Sparda left to return to his world, he made me swear an Oath. Never use your power and strength to oppress others. Iron Fists get daggers in your back. A gentle hand, gets you roses at your feet."
And with that, Naruto's eyes returned to normal as he got off from Mei. The beauty lay there in slight shock at what just happened and slowly sat herself on the desk.
"I swore to never use my power to oppress or to kill innocent lives. That is why I refuse to push people around because I have power."
Looking down at how this drove the final nail into the coffin. Mei knew for a fact that she had made the right choice in falling in love with Naruto. Sure, he was absolutely breath taking. His moves weren't that of an enraged bull. But rather the stroke of a paintbrush in the hands of an artist. They were smooth, precise and planned. Every move was calculated. But he would never show ruthlessness to those who didn't deserve his wrath. He was perfect.
"I love you." she mumbled to him.
She said it. She finally said the three words that she had always wanted to say. 2 years she had known Naruto. And it only took 2 years for her to finally work up the courage to confess to him.
"Pardon?" asked Naruto leaning to Mei.
But what happened next only shocked him to the core.
Mei moved with blinding speeds that she grabbed Naruto by the face and kissed him full on the lips. Her tongue instantly dancing with his. Feeling no response, Mei pulled away from the kiss and turned away to the door.
Feeling tears roll down her cheeks as she thought Naruto didn't feel the same way, she wanted to hide herself from the world at how embarrassed she was right now.
A hand on her wrist and a twirl stopped her from getting away. A hand on her waist and another on the back of her head kept her in place. And a set of lips that stole her own captured her where she stood.
Seeing it was Naruto her heart leaped in her chest, she feared it would jump out of her chest.
Naruto was kissing her! It felt like a dream come true. Sure, the council would never approve of this. But she didn't care. She loved Naruto. No one will take that away from her.
Pulling away from the kiss, Mei and Naruto looked at each other with burning passion. Taking hold of his wrist and bringing his demonic hand to her breast, she began to push him back onto the desk. Feeling him hit the edge of the desk, she pulled herself onto the tips of her feet and place a knee onto the desk, semi-straddling him. Making out profusely with him, their passion growing as Naruto pushed back against Mei while keeping her close, giving her the opening to wrap the leg that was once one the desk around his waist as she began to grind herself on his groin. Feeling his heat and hardness through the fabric that truly kept them separate. And it turned her on immensely but also infuriated her. Knowing she was so close yet so far to having true passion with the man she loved. Before Naruto could do anything, Mei was quick to act again. Grabbing his free arm, she snaked it to her ass. Allowing him to gently squeeze both her breast and ass in tandem. Earning soft, sweet moans from her. It drove her truly mad at how good she was feeling from this one single man. Often when she was growing up. She'd be courted by countless men who only lusted after her due to her beauty. But Naruto was different. He never once did any of that. And it made her feel special.
Breaking from the kiss, she gazed once more into his eyes. A thin chain of saliva still connected them.
"Let's take things slow. Right now, I want to make out with you." she purred.
This earned a chuckle from Naruto.
"Says the one who was grinding on my lap and giving me a stiffy. The one who also placed my hands on their breast and ass, allowing me to knead them as if I was nurturing dough." he barked back, earning a playful slap on the shoulder.
"Can you blame me?" she purred leaning into him giving his lips a quick peck.
"No. I guess I can't." fired back Naruto as Mei dove in for another kiss.
But in the distance, Yakumo had watched the entire thing. She knew of the fact that Mei was in love with Naruto. She knew it from the number of pheromones she kept putting off. And now that Naruto and Mei were currently making out in Mei's office, it was all too unreal.
Sure, it stung her a bit. But she knew she couldn't fight the inevitable. She just hoped Mei was willing to share. As she too had fallen hopelessly in love with the Demon Hunter. So much so that it tore up deep inside to see the man you love make out with another woman.
And scene.
So, there we have it.
Again, I am sorry for the late posting of the new chapter. Work is getting stressful.
So, it seems like Naruto and Mei are now going to start dating. She Mei did just confess to Naruto and even gave him a kiss. But when she felt him not responding, she decided to leave. Only to feel Naruto kiss her this time.
Not only that, but Yakumo also wants to have Naruto. Let's just hope Mei is willing to share Naruto with Yakumo. As well, what seems to be with the strange object that can grant a human demonic power?
Who is the one pulling the strings?
Only time will tell.
Chapter 8: Eruption.
