Chapter 2

The delicious smell of breakfast being prepared wafted through the house.

It certainly had gotten Kuroka's attention as she followed it towards the origin. She was clothed in pink sleeping kimono that stopped at her thighs with white cherry blossoms on it. Similar to the black kimono she wore regularly it revealed a hefty amount of cleavage which increased her sex appeal which she knew was already off the charts.

She paused when she stood in the doorway leading to the kitchen. Her nose twitching cutely and she licked her lips as she stared at the stove or rather the person in front of him. Her eyes trailing appreciatively over his form. Even from the side she took in his muscled physique with lust shimmering in her golden orbs.

''Oh hey Kuroka, I'm almost finished with our breakfast.'' He told her without taking his eyes off the eggs that he was baking.

A humm left her lips as she sauntered over, a sway in her steps which was added with natural grace. She stopped when she was next to him, her eyes moving from the food over to him before she turned on her heels and with a light hop plopped herself down on the counter next to where he was cooking.

Unconsciously, Naruto's eyes briefly flickered over to her and took in her form. She looked absolutely stunning in that Kimono and appreciatively eyed her up and down. Especially with her legs crossed which caused it to ride up on her thighs even more than it already did.

He quickly diverted his attention back at their food when he caught her knowing smirk which caused her to laugh. ''There's nothing wrong with staring nya. I'm wearing this for you.''

A smile was sent her way. ''I know and you look beautiful in it. As if it was made with you in mind.''

She blushed at his words, still not fully used to his compliments as she looked abashed to the side, her twin tails curling around her own arm.

He patted her thigh and Kuroka looked back to see he was finished as he laid the eggs on four slices of toast and handed her a plate. She took it with a soft thanks and dug in with him as Naruto leaned against the counter with one hand holding his plate and the other his toast.

They ate their breakfast in relative silence that was filled by the other's close proximity which was then broken when Sasuke waddled into the room. His hair was disheveled and he looked half asleep.

''Guess someone had a wild night.'' Naruto mused as he could see distinct stretch marks on Sasuke's back.

A grunt was Sasuke's response as he opened the fridge and retrieved something to drink.

''You know,'' Naruto began, '' If you keep this up I wonder how long it'll take before you end up with a disease or something.'' The offhanded way he said those words had Kuroka choke on her toast and earned him a glare from his friend. ''C'mon, don't look at me like that. I wonder what Sakura would say with her whole crush on you she still has.''

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders as he took a sip of orange juice. ''Why should I care what she thinks? I never showed her any interest, the opposite actually but she's still stuck up on me.''

''I dunno. It just seems she never moved on, you know? Despite both your attempts to kill another.'' Kuroka listened in with interest as she rose an eyebrow at that comment. It was always interesting to learn more about her boyfriend's friends and the people where he's from.

He had not long into their relationship revealed more about who he is and where he's from. It was certainly a shock to her that there existed another, well dimension which was inhabited by chakra using humans who could fight and defeat High Class Devils. The fact that he and his best friend were the strongest ones where they're from made her wonder just how strong they were.

He had already done the impossible by cleansing her and removing the Evil Pieces from her body and the power she had felt at the time was already overwhelming.

''You're not one to talk in the first place.'' Sasuke bit back.

''Huh, what's that supposed to mean!?''

Sasuke clicked his tongue and send him a disbelieving stare. ''Don't tell me you don't know?'' Seeing his friend still being as clueless as ever he sighed. ''You really are an idiot. How could you not notice Hinata's crush on you? I'm sure the entire village knew. Hell, even I did and I haven't even interacted with her once.''

''Eh?!'' Naruto blinked a few times before his eyes widened. ''Hinata likes me? ..But why? I don't even know her. How can she like me? Aside from that one time during the Chunin Exams when we were younger I don't recall ever interacting with her.''

''Don't look at me. I don't even know what she sees in you.'' He inclined his head towards Nekoshou causing her to narrow her eyes and hiss at him as she held his arm possessively in hers.

''Hmph! You're just jealous nya! You wish you had someone like me.''

Sasuke looked her over before scoffing and averting his eyes. His actions speaking louder than words and Naruto let out a short chuckle as he spun around and embraced Kuroka. Pressing her up against him, he locked his arms around her and in response Kuroka intertwined her own legs around him.

She purred contently as his warm presence surrounded her. So potents was his chakra that she could sense and experience it without him even doing anything. She was sure if he was ever going to visit Kyoto any Youkai there would worship him, especially with his unique form of Senjutsu which was incredible.

''Whatever. Did anything happen to that pervert from school last evening?'' Sasuke asked in an attempt to change the topic at hand.

He succeeded as Naruto perked up and turned around while still carrying Kuroka. ''Something did in fact happen with him. The Gremory reincarnated him as he got stabbed by his date. My clone saw it happen. The girl he's with revealed herself to be a Fallen after which she rambled about a Sacred Gear he had. The pervert didn't even attempt to dodge, way to engrossed in the Fallen.'' He gave a slight shake of his head. ''Anyway, she left him for that after which the Rias or whatever her name is appeared and reincarnated him.''

''Which ones did she use nya?''

''Pawns,'' He answered Kuroka. ''At least it should be as she used quite a lot of them on him. She appeared surprised though so she may not be aware of what Sacred Gear he holds.''

''Must be a powerful one then nya.'' Seeing their looks that asked for more information Kuroka elaborated. ''The amount of pieces required depends both on the King's power and the person that's about to be reincarnated. In this case since you said he has an abysmal amount of power and those from the Gremory have a higher than average amount of demonic energy it normally should've taken a single Pawn. This can change however nya. If the person in question has a Sacred Gear more pieces may be needed. Likely the pervert as you two are calling him has a very powerful Sacred Gear.''

''Guess Azazel's suspicions were warranted. You think she let him die on purpose?''

Naruto nodded quickly. ''Yeah, it had to be. She literally appeared the moment the Fallen was no longer in the vicinity and he was still bleeding out. Wouldn't be surprised if it's to make him feel indebted to her. Quite manipulative if I say so myself.''

''Mhm, that girl has my little sister in her filthy claws!'' Kuroka hissed in contempt and unconsciously dug her nails in Naruto's back who let out a grunt.

''Hnrg.. You know, if you bring her to me I can likely do the same to her as I did to you.'' He enjoyed the way her eyes widened. ''I mean, I can likely do it myself but I'm not sure about taking on the entire Underworld, mainly those two Satans I've heard about.. Though it'll likely happen anyway when they find out that I'm capable of turning a reincarnated person back.''

Silence reigned for a moment in the kitchen after he spoke which was broken when Kuroka leaned in and whispered something into his ear. A small shiver ran through his frame from her warm breath that tickled his ear followed by a light hiss when she nipped his earlobe.

''I don't mind,'' Naruto proceeded to turn towards Sasuke as his fingers were clawing into Kuroka's back in a pleasurable manner. ''I'm skipping school today. Something much more aligned to my interest has come up and school's boring compared to it.'' Before Sasuke could form a reply Naruto walked out of the kitchen and towards his room, leaving him alone to sigh. It was obvious what his friend was going to do back in his room with his girlfriend. With a shrug Sasuke figured he could skip today as well as nothing of interest was happening.

He'd be better off contacting Azazel to discuss yesterday's events, informing him that one of his people killed a person of interest.

''Sasuke~.'' A feminine voice rang out from the direction his bedroom was located. He spared the cellphone that laid in the living room a glance before he scoffed and made his way towards his own bedroom. Azazel could wait. He'd likely admonish him for passing up a girl in order to speak to him anyway.

''Well, at least one of you has their priorities straight.'' Azazel commented offhandedly as he sat laid back in his seat. His eyes watching the double S ranked stray Devil Kuroka nuzzling the blond whose lap she was sitting on.

It was a bit past noon and Kuroka was wearing her usual kimono and Azazel couldn't help but appreciatively take in the Nekoshou's creamy thighs that were on display due to the way she was positioned. He would love to bed one of the last Nekoshous after he had laid his eyes on her when Vali had brought her to Grigori but she had quickly called him a 'disgusting old man' had made sure to keep distance between them.

Sasuke was sitting on the couch two seats away from them, his arm resting on a closed fist.

''But to get back to your earlier question you'd be correct with your assumption in that you won't be left alone if the Devils find you're able to revert their Evil Piece System. They'll probably hunt you down and cut you open if they got their hands on you to be honest. Though, that's not the reason you've called me here, correct?''

''No, it's not.'' Sasuke spoke as he straightened up in his seat, his onyx eyes boring into Grigori's leader. ''We want to inform you that one of your people, a girl, killed a Sacred Gear holder who is now under the servitude of the Gremory girl that attends school here.''

''Yes, that'd be- Hold on, did you say kill? I told them to monitor him, not kill him until I figured out what Sacred Gear he holds.'' Azazel looked surprised but Sasuke wasn't sure if he was faking it or not. While usually he had a good idea if one was lying or not, the man sitting opposite to him was thousands of years old and it would be foolish to assume it'd be that easy with him.

''She killed him. Ask Naruto, he had a clone watching when she struck him down. He even watched him be reincarnated and according to what we came to understand from Kuroka, whatever Sacred Gear he has is a powerful one.''

''..Mind elaborating?''

''Sure,'' Naruto was the one that answered as he swatted away one of Kuroka's hands that began wandering too much downwards. ''The pervert, who's the one that's reincarnated, has probably some of the lowest amounts of magical energy I've sensed here. And after Kuroka gave a short rundown on how the Evil Pieces worked his Sacred Gear has to be a strong one as I saw her use Pawn after Pawn. I'd dare to say she used all eight on him.''

Azazel hummed as he rubbed his chin with his fingers, mulling over what he had just been told. ''That is concerning. First that comes to mind is that the boy has a Longinus. If that's the case regardless of his current state the Devils have gained a powerful new piece..'' He began to think, remembering all of the known Longinus users. He knew three of them, of which two were good acquaintances and one was his student.

He was aware Regulus Nemea was held by a member of Sairaorg Bael's Peerage.

..That left nine more he was unsure of. Though some of his spies reported that Dimension Lost was in possession by a Magician so eight if those rumors were true.

''Was there anything you might've sensed from him? Depending if you have it'll make it easier for me to identify which Sacred Gear he may have.''

''Urhm..'' Scratching his head the gears in Naruto's brain began to spin. ''Yes… I recall a strong aura originating from his left arm. It was dormant but still massive.''

Well, that made it easier for him and Naruto, Kuroka and Sasuke watched Azazel's violet eyes light up before wincing.

''It seems you have an idea on what it might be.'' Sasuke stated and received a nod.

''Indeed i do. I had my suspicions as to what sort it could be which is the reason i had some of my people sent after him in the first place. To keep an eye on him, not kill him mind you.'' Azazel shook his head. ''It seems that he most likely has Boosted Gear or also known as Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet.'' He revealed to the trio.

Kuroka let out a slight gasp as she knew what that meant for him. ''That means he's fated to fight…''

Azazel nodded as he understood what she was going to say. ''Correct, he's fated to battle Vali who is White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings and holds Divine Dividing.''

Both Sasuke and Naruto simultaneously twitched at the mention of that silver haired battle maniac who had non-stop challenged them to a fight once he figured out just how strong they were.

''I see he made an impression on you two.'' Azazel said with a smirk

''Of course we do!'' Naruto exclaimed. ''How can we forget that freak who constantly wanted to fight us along with that damned Sacred Gear of his.''

Chuckling Azazel spoke up. ''Ah, but it didn't do much to you now did it? If I recall correctly when he used it on you two who both had too much power for him to take?'' His comment earned him two smirks of both boys as they remembered his shocked face as his attack bit him in the ass and overloaded due to the power he had stolen from them.

''Say, if Vali's Sacred Gear halves the user's strength and adds it to himself does Boosted Gear boost the user's power?''

''Correct. The Boosted Gear doubles the user's power every ten seconds for as much as their body can handle it.''

At this Naruto and Sasuke exchanged looks. That's a powerful artifact no doubt. Doubling your power every ten seconds.. If it were to fall in the wrong hands it would be catastrophic.

''What are you planning?'' Azazel inquired after seeing the two act like they did.

''Nothing too important.'' Naruto waved off the suspicious gaze sent his way. ''Still, to think someone like him has to deal with Vali… It would probably have been better for him to end up dying. There's no way he'd ever be able to match up that battle maniac unless a literal miracle happens.''

''You think Vali will be disappointed when he sees him?''

''For sure.'' Naruto instantly replied to Sasuke's question. ''The battle between Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear holders are said to be legendary but I think this one will end up as a disappointment. Though knowing Vali he'll either kill him now in hopes for a stronger wielder or let him gain strength, just depends on how patient he is.'' A brief moment of silence reigned before he addressed the Fallen Angel in the room. ''Say Azazel, if one wished to come in contact with a God, where should they go to?''

''Make contact a God? Why'd you want to do that? Most of them are selfish and don't bother with the supernatural world. Content on letting everyone do as they please even if they end up destroying each other.''

The boys shrugged. ''Just curious.'' Naruto answered as he was scratching Kuroka between her ears which had the girl purr with half lidded eyes.

''Well, if you really want to your best chances are going to be in Kyoto. The Youkai faction reportedly have regular contact with the Shinto Gods.. Something wrong?'' Azazel asked after seeing Naruto pale upon him mentioning Kyoto.

''Aaahaha..'' Naruto laughed awkwardly, bringing Kuroka from her slight pleasure induced state as he had stopped scratching her and sent him a narrow eyed look. ''Nope, nothing's wrong. Nothing at all. It's just that uh… I don't think we should visit Kyoto anytime soon.'' His crooked smile fooled nobody as Kuroka sent him a deadpan stare.

''...Kyoto..'' Sasuke muttered, pulling the attention towards himself. A smirk unnoticed by anyone aside from Naruto formed briefly as he purposely ignored the pleading look on the blond's face that begged him to shut up. ''Hey Naruto? Isn't that the place where you ended up sleeping with that blonde woman? Yasaka, I think her name was.''

Naruto counted down in his mind as his right eye was twitching madly. 'three, two, one'.

''NYA!'' Kuroka shot up to her feet and leveled him a glare as Naruto raised his hands. However, before anything between them could happen their attention was stolen by Azazel who appeared to be choking on something.

''You- You managed to sleep with Yasaka!'' Azazel's voice was a mixture between disbelief and envy. He had met the woman in question several times before. She was a very kind and gentle woman with a warm aura and a body that could likely make even Michael fall from heaven. Several fantasies had filled his mind about her but she had rejected each of his subtle hints that he wanted to sleep with her.

He figured she was distrustful of men given the situation with her daughter. But this kid, a very powerful one but still a kid in his eyes succeeding where he and undoubtedly many before him had failed before.

God, if he were still an Angel he would've fallen by now from the envy he felt towards the blond.

''Now, hold on a moment.'' He spoke quickly to dissuade Kuroka from possibly harming him. ''First of all, that was before you and I got together.'' He looked at the Nekoshou whose anger seemed to have lessened but was still somewhat there. ''And it was a one time thing! At least it was supposed to be…''

Azazel seemed to understand what he was implying as the man's eyes began to widen. ''Don't tell me..'' He fumbled over the words he was trying to find but from the expression on the blond's face he knew where this was going. ''You're telling me you ran out on her since she wanted more?''

''..Yes.'' Naruto answered softly as he looked down at his lap with shame.

''I don't know if I should pity you or curse at you for ditching on who has to be one of the hottest women currently alive.''

''I prefer pity. So I assume you can see why I wish to keep my distance from Kyoto?''

''I indeed do. Still, it's the best option if you wish to come in contact with any gods. You can beg for forgiveness with Yasaka while you're at it.''

Naruto let out a long groan as he hung his head. ''I guess we have not much a choice, do we?''

''Not really no.''

''Hold on nya! If you're going to Kyoto I'm going with. I don't trust her to leave you alone nya!''

''Sure, figured you'd say that. Guess that's all Azazel. Been interesting talking to you again.''

''Haha, been nice catching up to you two as well. I mean three.'' He corrected himself when Kuroka glanced over to him.

''So…'' Naruto began once Azazel had left and looked towards his girlfriend. ''Are you uh.. Still upset?''

''Me nya? Perhaps… Should I be?'' He paused with answering when he spotted the overly sweet smile she wore and gulped.

''I.. No?.''

Letting out a hum, Kuroka leaned in and pecked him on the cheek. ''I forgive you if you take me out today.''

He blinked. ''Really!?''

''Yep!'' That easy?

''Alright, just tell me where to.''

''No. I'll leave that to you. I want it to be a surprise nya.''

''O-Okay. I'm going to look around then. Later!'' He gave her a quick kiss before jumping to his feet and heading upstairs to refresh himself.

''Hmph, he's whipped.'' Sasuke couldn't help but comment as he watched Naruto leave the room. ''This is why I don't do relationships.''

''Pff!'' Kuroka looked as if someone told her a good joke. ''You sure It's not because you can't find someone to put up with you for more than a few hours?''

Sasuke looked taken back by her words. When he was about to retort Kuroka was no longer there, leaving him to brood by himself.

Kuroka smiled beautifully as she entered her current residence. A couple steps in she twirled on her feet, her raven tresses flowing behind her as her smile was directed at the blond who followed in after her.

Naruto was wearing neat but casual clothes that consisted of a button up dress shirt with over it a white jacket that he left open which had two orange stripes on each sleeve. Blue jeans and white sneakers completed his look as he ran a hand through his blond locks.

''Am I forgiven now?'' He asked Kuroka as he neared her. He had done what she wanted from him and more. He took her out for dinner in one of Kuoh's more expensive restaurants, glad that money wasn't really an issue afterwards he took her for a walk through the park and certain paths that he knew brought out the beauty of the city.

Nodding her head, Kuroka closed the remaining distance between them before jumping at him. He caught her on reflex, his hands resting on the small of her back while she had her own limbs locked around him.

''You are nya.'' She hadn't felt as happy as she was now in some time. ''Though,'' And here her smile morphed into a more sinful one as her Nekoshou features made themselves known, her tails brushing against his arms. ''I can think of a much more pleasurable way to end the night nya~.''

''Oh?'' Naruto met her smile with a smirk of his own. ''You mind telling me how then?''

''No~. I would rather show you, nya.'' And just like that Kuroka proceeded to claim his lips, the rest of the night ending up as a pleasurable memory.

End Chapter.
