Hello Guys and welcome to the 6th installation of 'Demon Prince of Underworld'
First of all I would like to thank you all for the support that you have given me till now. I really appreciate it.
Now, I have changed my writing pattern in this chapter. So after reading it, do tell which one is better. This pattern or the previous one.
This chapter is a bit longer than any of my previous installations but keep in mind that not all chapters will be this long.
Disclaimer:- I don't own Naruto, Highschool dxd, Nanatsu no Taizai or any other TV series, Anime or Movie I may use in my stories.
Chapter 6:- Here Comes A Giant.
" Why are you mad at me?"
" I am not at you."
" Then why are you trying to ignore me?"
" I am not trying to ignore you either."
" I have to practically order you to come in my room. You have been avoiding this room like a plague for whole last week. What's wrong Kaguya-chan?"
" Nothing is wrong Naruto-sama. Now if you don't have anything else to say then I will be taking my leave. I have other pressing matters to attend to."
" You do know that I can easily find out the reason behind your change in attitude just by looking in your eyes, right?"
" If you do that then I will seriously stop talking to you."
" Then tell me, what's bothering you? As your 'King' and your friend I deserve that much atleast."
Those words stopped Kaguya in her tracks as her whole body started shaking a bit and she clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
" What did you say?" She asked, her voice carrying a certain dangerous tone that indicated if he answered her inquiry wrongly than there will be hell to pay for him.
" I said that as your 'King' and your friend I-"
He never got to finish his sentence as Kaguya had already turned around and took a hold of his collar in an aggressive manner. With a snarl on her beautiful face she said," That word again. Why don't you get it that I don't want to be your 'Friend'!? What do I have to do so that you can start seeing me as more than your 'Friend'? What is it she has that I don't, huh? Am I not good enough for you? Why is it that you always value her more than me?! Tell me Naruto?"
"W-What are you talking about?", Naruto asked as he stumbled a bit due to this sudden and unexpected aggressive gesture from Kaguya. He seriously has no idea why she was acting like this!
" You damn well know what I am talking about, Oh Great 'King' of mine! Don't act dumb with me! You know I am talking about what you have been doing with Hannah. I saw you two doing 'IT'. So, don't act like you have done nothing wrong.", Kaguya snarled as she started shaking him a bit from his collar, which looked like it was on it's last legs.
" That's enough Kaguya.", Naruo said seriously as he took a hold of her hands and eased himself out of her grip, finally knowing what has her so upset for whole last week.
Sighing a bit, Naruto closed his eyes and gathered his thoughts about this whole situation. He has to do something about this otherwise things will escalate badly for their relationship and he can't have that now, can he? No, he can't. He cares about her too damn much to let that happen to their relationship.
" I see now what has you so upset for this whole last week. I can understand that you are upset after seeing us like that and it is perfectly normal for you to be angry at me. I get all that but what I don't get is just what gave you the idea that you are not good enough for me?", Naruto asked as he stared directly in her eyes with a serious gaze, clearly indicating just how much this talk has effected him till now.
" Why would you think that I am good enough for you? I am not as strong as Hannah, neither have I known you as long she has. She is more mature than me and can take care of you better than anyone else. I have been trying my best to be the best 'Queen' that I can be, so that maybe one day you can start depending on me like you do with her. I have been working hard so that you can see my devotion to you too. I have even been doing my best to show you just how much you means to me. Just how much I care about you. Just how much I love you. But it's not enough, it's never enough because you have always preferred her over me and now I know that you will always prefer her over me.", Kaguya said as she finally went down to her knees with tears now falling freely from both of her eyes. Her body shook as she let out a chocked sob.
" Kaguya.", Naruto said as he too sat down on his knees and grabbed her in a tight hug.
" You dummy, how can you think that I don't care about you? Do you have any idea just how much you mean to me? I would never prefer her over you or vise versa. You both are equally precious to me. I love you just as much as I love her. Please don't ever think anything like this ever again. It pains me so much to see you cry.", he said as he tightened his hold on her, trying to make her understand that she is just as much precious to him as he is to her.
" T-Then why? Why have you been ignoring all my advances? I even slept naked in the same bed as you and yet all you did was hold me. Am I not desirable enough for you?", She asked, her voice heavy with all the emotions that she was feeling at the moment.
Having enough of her doubting herself, Naruto placed his fingers under Kaguya's chin and made her look up at him. Looking intensely in her tears filled eyes, he never gave her a chance to speak again as he quickly placed his lips upon hers, kissing her with all the passion that he could muster up.
Eyes widening in shock at suddenness of the kiss, all Kaguya was able to do was letting out a soft moan. Feeling his tongue probing at her lips, asking for permission to enter, Kaguya slowly opened her mouth allowing Naruto to taste her tongue and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment fully.
They kissed like that for a while, thouroughly enjoying each others taste. Their hands didn't remain idle either as Naruto had one of his hand holding the back of her neck while his other hand was slowly caressing her sides causing Kaguya to moan even more loudly as her own hands were roaming around his chest and shoulders.
Finally letting go of the kiss, Naruto placed his forehead on hers, his own eyes closed from the wonderful kiss that he just shared with his 'Queen'. Licking his lips in order to savor her taste, he asked," Does that answer your question about how much desirable you are to me? You have no idea how much I have been aching for this moment Kaguya-chan. The only reason why I never acted on these feelings before was because I thought you didn't feel the same way about me and before you say anything about sleeping in the same bed naked, you have to understand that it is quite normal for me since I have been sleeping like that since I was just a kid. With that being said, please don't ever doubt yourself or my feelings for you ever again. Ok?"
" I understand and sorry for acting like that. I know that you will have to marry more than just one girl but it's still not easy for us girls to share the person we love you know and seeing you like that with Hannah just made me so jealous that I forgot all the reasoning and acted like that.", Kaguya said as she placed her head on his shoulder and finally told Naruto about her feelings and the reason behind her anger.
" No no, I should be the one to apologise for being an idiot and never noticing just how difficult it can be for a girl to share their love interest with someone else. I know for a fact that I would have never been able to do it if our roles were reversed. So, yes I should be the one apologising, not you. Can you forgive me for being such an idiot Kaguya-chan?", Naruto asked as he nuzzled his face in Kaguya's hair and then placed a soft kiss on top of her head.
" All is forgiven My King, as long as you don't ever neglect one of us in favor of another. To tell you truth, I am not really ready for the kind of relationship that you have with Hannah-san. I know that I made a huge deal out of it but can we please take our relationship a bit slow. I want to enjoy every aspect of being in a relationship with you Naruto-sama.", Kaguya said as she looked up in his eyes.
Looking at her beautiful face, her puffy red eyes from all the crying she just did and her red cheeks, Naruto was not able to control himself and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. Drawing back a bit Naruto then placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose and said while slowly caressing her long white hair," Your wish is my command, My Queen. We will go as slow as you want but don't expect me to refrain myself from kissing you. It will be a sin to not kiss someone so tasty though only I ever get to kiss you, to hold you and to be with you. Do you understand Kaguya-chan?"
" Of course, I understand Naruto-sama. You are my King and I am your Queen. I will never allow anyone other than you to ever touch me. But I have to say, you look so cute when you act all possessive like that.", Kaguya said as she let out a giggle at the end of her statement.
Glaring playfully at her, Naruto quickly picked himself and Kaguya up from the floor of his room and quickly threw her on the bed. Stalking towards her with a mischevious smile on his face, he said," Oh, so you think I am cute huh. Well woman, you have just released a tickling demon upon yourself by calling someone as manly as me, a cute boy. Now you are gonna get punished for your ."
Letting out a creepy evil laugh, he quickly jumped on the bed and started tickling her with all his might, using one of his hand to restrain her and the other to tickle her sides.
" S-Stop it Naruto-sama. Ah! Stop doing that. Please stop! I am gonna pass out!", Kaguya shrieked amidst all the tickling that she was receiving, trying her hardest to push Naruto away but was only being successful in making more room for him to tickle.
Laughing joyously, Naruto continued playing around with his 'Queen' before finally settling down on the bed beside her.
" You are a meany.", Kaguya muttered with a small pout on her face.
" So you say but I know that you love me.", he replied as his lips stretched into a huge smile showing his pleasure at the fact that he just said.
" Hmm yes, that I do. Aren't you a lucky guy?", She said while nuzzling into Naruto's side and started to caress his cheek all the while gazing at him lovingly.
" That I am.", Naruto replied as he took a hold of her hand and gave her palm a kiss before embracing her tightly.
They stayed in that position for a while, reveling in each others presence as Kaguya looked up at Naruto's face and said," Umm, Naruto-sama you know I was not the only one who saw you and Hannah-san in that compromising situation that day. Kuroka-san and Yoruichi-san were there too and they also saw the whole thing."
" Hmmm, I see. So, that is the reason why they have been acting so weirdly around me lately, huh? Tell me Kaguya-chan, are they angry at me too?", Naruto asked as he looked down at Kaguya all the while thinking that he has to work more on his detection abilities.
Shaking her head a bit, she replied," No, they are not mad at you. Atleast I don't think that they are. I don't know for sure Naruto-sama. Maybe after they return from their assignment with Hannah-san, you should talk to them. I know for a fact that Yoruichi-san likes you a lot. I don't think that it's love yet but she do like you more than as a friend. Kuroka-san on the other hand is a mytery to me. I don't even know what's going on in her head half of the time but even then I think that she likes you too."
" Hmm, you are right. Now that I think about it, Yoruichi-chan has been dropping a lot of hints lately and Kuroka-chan has done the same too. I will talk to them as soon as they return. But that's for later because right now this is our moment. So, let's just enjoy it and we can worry about everything else later. Now, I am feeling sleepy and I need my snuggling bunny to sleep with me too.", Naruto said as he started rubbing his face in the nape of her neck and placed a few light kisses around her collar bone, making her moan.
" Mhmm Naruto-samaaa, AH!"
" Shhhh Bunny-chan, go to sleep otherwise I will eat you up. Ok?"
" Ah! Yes master."
Timeskip:- 1 Year Later.
It's been a year since Naruto and Kaguya had confessed their feelings for each other and they couldn't be more happy that they did. They have yet to do anything more sexual than a bit of groping and kissing but that was to be expected seeing as Kaguya wanted them to take their relationship slow and not rush into anything headfirst.
Kaguya's jealousy towards Hannah has all but vanished since she started dating Naruto and now she view her as more of a friend than competitor.
Naruto's relationship with Hannah has continued as it was before. They still didn't have sex yet but their sessions of 'unwinding' are becoming more and more frequent. It won't be long before one of them will make the decision of going all the way.
Though Kaguya and Hannah aren't the only girls in Naruto's life now for him to deal with.
Last year when Kuroka and Yoruichi came back from their assignment, Naruto as promised had a chat with them and it turned out that neither of them have any problem with his and Hannah's relationship. The only reason they were acting like that was because they were a bit embarrassed after seeing what they saw that morning. Well that and they were still trying to come to terms with their own feelings at that time. They are still not sure whether what they feel for Naruto is love or just some sort of hero worship mixed with physical attraction.
Well atleast Kuroka was still confused about her feelings but Yoruichi had came to terms with them few months ago and decided to wait for the right time so that she can tell Naruto about her feelings at the right moment.
Lastly, Naruto's relationship with Sona has improved a lot too. After dating for nearly two years, both of them are now a lot more open about their feelings with each other. They have even started kissing and Sona has even started acting more affectionately towards Naruto, but only in private.
Though spending time with his girls wasn't the only thing that Naruto did in this last year. He also went to Bael Clan's castle every once in a while to spar with his best friend Sairoarg, now that he is a Clan heir once again.
That's another thing that happened in the last year. Sairoarg was able to retain his former title as clan heir after defeating his younger step-brother in a fight for the title of Bael Clan's heir. By doing this Sairoarg has shown everyone that no matter what kind of power one may wield, he/she can still be defeated through pure guts, will power and lots and lots of hard work.
Currently we find Naruto in one of Gremory Clan's training field, having a spar with his father. Both of them were shirtless and were wearing only a pair of white baggy training pants with heavy weights attached to them. And from the looks of things it seems like this time around he was holding his own much better than he did last time when they fought.
Charging up their respective attacks, both father and son duo shot their own energy beams towards one another but as soon as both attacks collided with another, a huge explosion took place, engulfing both of them in the blast.
Soon the blast started to die down as smoke covered the area where the two were fighting and from within smoke came the sound of flesh hitting flesh, as if punches were being exchanged.
As smoke started to settle down, the view of father/son duo fighting in what appeared to be fast paced hand to hand combat became clear.
Giving out a yell, Naruto jumped in air and tried to kick Sirzechs head but his kick was stopped by his father's forearm who then quickly took a hold of his leg who then proceeded to swing him like a bat and tried to slam him on the ground but before he could do that, Naruto used the momentum and spun his body mid-air using his captured leg as a leverage and kicked him hard in face, forcing Sirzechs to let go of his leg as he stumbled back a bit and Naruto used this opportunity by cartwheeling backwards in order to gain some distance between themselves.
" That was a really good kick. You are getting stronger everyday Naruto.", Sirzechs said as he cleaned the blood coming out of his lower lip.
" Ofcourse I am getting stronger old man. I have to work really hard so that one day I can surpass you and 'HIM'.", Naruto replied as he clenched fist and placed it infront of his chest in order to show his determination.
" At this rate, I am pretty sure that you will be able to hold your own against me at full power in few more years. Though it will take some more time before you can call yourself an equal of Raizen-sama. You have to understand son, Raizen-sama was in a league of his own. Before 'The Great War' he was known as 'The Most Powerful Entity'. The only one who was able to come near his power level was 'The Apocalyptic Beast Trihexa' itself. Heck, no matter how hard I try, I know for a fact that I will never be able surpass that man. So, don't push yourself too hard in order to reach his level because things like these takes time and your powers are still not matured enough. Do you understand what I am trying to say here Naruto?", Sirzechs asked, as he gave his son a serious look. He didn't want his son to hurt himself while trying to catch up with someone like Raizen. If Naruto keep training like this then one day he will be able to reach Raizen's level that's for sure but like he said, things like these takes time to achieve.
Giving a nod in reply, Naruto said," I understand what you are trying to say dad and I promise that I will not take any shortcuts or try to hasten my progress because I know that in long run it will just prove more harmful than anything else. Now, why don't we get back to our fight. I still have lots of new techniques I want to show you."
" Maybe next time Naruto. I have to attend an important meeting this afternoon and I won't be free till late in the evening. If you want to fight some more then I can call Beowulf to spar with you or you can always go to Bael clan and spar with Sairoarg-kun there.", Sirzechs said, as he started to walk back towards their home with Naruto quickly following to catch up with his father.
" Nah, I can't use my more destructive spells against Sairoarg and I am not really in mood to deal with Beowulf right now. I think that I will just take a trip to Familiar Forest with my peerage today. I've been ignoring it for a while now and today seems to be good time as any to take a trip to Familiar Forest. Plus another full moon won't be until next month and I don't want to wait anymore.", Naruto said with a contemplative look on his face.
" Sure, sounds good. But before you do that I have an assignment for you and you can only take one more person with you. I would suggest you ask Akeno-chan to accompany you on this mission. It's been more than two years since she became a devil and she has yet to go on any mission.", Sirzechs said, as he looked towards his son in order to get his answer.
Nodding his head in response, Naruto replied," Ri-chan has not been on any mission either old man. Why don't I take both of them with me to this mission?"
" No, Rias-chan is not ready for missions like these, Naruto. She's way too inexperienced and stubborn to follow your command like Akeno can. Rias-chan is not ready for something like this.", Sirzechs replied as he shook his head in a negative manner.
" You know this feels awfully like partiality right? And what is the mission anyway?", Naruto asked with a frown on his face.
" Believe what you will Naruto but I will not allow you to take Rias-chan on a mission just yet. She's is not ready for things like these. Akeno-chan on the other hand has already been in situations where her life was in danger before becoming a devil. All she really needs is experience and you are strong enough to keep her safe if push comes to shove and at the same time I am sure that you will not hinder her growth either. As for the mission, well there has been a rumor going around about sightings of a giant near Congo Basin in Human World. It's mostly forest area so you don't have to worry too much about collateral damage there. Though be careful, from what I have heard this giant is said to have mean temper. My sources have told me that few Fallen Angels tried to capture it but were crushed very easily for their trouble. If you see that you can't handle the situation then abort as soon as you can or call for backup. Your main priority in this mission is to try and invite this giant to join our side and if talk fails then you have my permission to use force if necessary. Do you have any questions regarding this mission?" Sirzechs asked after explaining the mission to his son. He has full faith in his son's abilities and knew that Naruto can handle this mission easily.
" Yes, just one. When do I leave?", Naruto asked with excitement clear in his tone.
" Right after taking a bath and picking up Akeno-chan for the mission.", Sirzechs replied with a chuckle at his son's enthusiastic tone and wished Naruto Good Luck before teleporting to his room in order to take a bath while his son did the same.
Few Hours Later:-
Location:- Somewhere in the forest of Congo Basin.
Congo Basin is known as one of the most dense and dangerous forest in the Human world. It's full of dangerous and rare breed of animals along with various types of plants and trees, some of them even being carnivorous in nature.
Some would even say that going in this forest alone is giving an invitation to death itself. This case is even more valid for young kids or teenagers. Yet here we find two teenagers roaming around in the forest like they own this place.
These teenagers are none other than Naruto Gremory and Akeno Himejima. They were given an assignment by 'The Lucifer' himself and when one of the mou gives you a mission, you damn well take it and complete it in the given time frame. Failure to do so can result in severe repercussions, not matter if you are related to one of mou's or not. That was the reason behind their presence in such place.
Both of them have been trying to locate this so called giant for a while now but have yet to succeed in their search. Finally having enough of just wandering around aimlessly, Akeno asked," How are we going to find our target Naruto-sama? We don't even know how he looks like or whether he's infact a he or a she."
" Don't worry about not knowing anything about our target, Akeno-chan. The person we are looking for, is someone really hard to miss seeing as he/she is a giant who can use magic. And I am pretty sure that a giant wielding magic will be very hard to miss.", Naruto said he looked around in order to find something out of place that can help them in their search.
" But Naruto-sama, I thought that the whole giant race was wiped off by Hunters nearly 100 years ago.", Akeno inquired with a frown on her beautiful face. She had read in one of the history books in Gremory library that several races like Giants, Mermaids, orcs and several others were all killed off by an organisation comprised of monster hunters, known as 'The Brotherhood'. Though it was also mentioned that every member of this organisation was killed nearly fifty years ago by a combined effort of Yokai, Fallen Angels and Devils seeing as it was becoming a major threat to anyone non-human in this world.
" Apparently not all of them are dead. Dad said that he heard some rumors about a giant being sighted in this forest by some fallen angels who took it upon themselves to capture it but were unsuccessful in their quest. Our mission is to locate and possibly convince this giant to come to our side and make an alliance with us.", Naruto replied as he turned towards Akeno and immediately became tense before signalling her to stop right where she was standing, which she did immediately.
" What's wrong Naruto-sama?", Akeno asked as she saw Naruto very slowly making his way towards her all the while staring intently in her eyes.
" Don't move Akeno.", Naruto said as he closed the gap between himself and the black haired beauty.
He kept moving forward till he was standing in her personal space and tilted his head down a bit in order to keep staring in her eyes, seeing as he was nearly a head taller than her. Taking one more step forward Naruto completely closed the distance between them and pressed his body against hers, causing her bust to mash up against his lower chest.
Heart rate rising Akeno blushed deep red as the boy she has a crush on was pressing himself against her and she can easily feel his hot breath on her lips as her own breath started to come in heavy pants.
" N-Naruto-sama?", she stuttered in a quite tone as her whole body started to heat up because of the intimate feel of Naruto's body against her's.
" Shhh, keep quite and close your eyes.", Naruto ordered as he started to raise his hand up slowly as if he was going to caress her cheek.
Heeding his command, Akeno closed her eyes as she too tilted her head upwards while slightly puckering her lips for a kiss.
But alas! The kiss never came.
Instead of being kissed, all she felt was a sudden rush of wind near her right ear and after that she felt Naruto pulling away from her body. The sudden lost of warmth caused her to open her eyes in order to see what just happened.
Standing infront of her was Naruto with what appeared to be Black Mamba in his hand. The snake's head was gripped tightly in his palm in order to stop it from opening it's mouth, while rest of it's body was coiled around Naruto's forearm very tightly, trying to snap the Gremory's bones so that it can escape from said boy's grip. But unfortunately for the snake, devils are made of much sturdier stuff than normal humans and even among devils, Naruto is considered an exception for his unreal strength.
" It's a Black Mamba, Akeno-chan. Very dangerous and poisonous snake. It's poison can kill even us devils given time to run it's course in our body without any sort of treatment. This snake can sense a person's fear or change in attitude. It's also one of the fastest snake and is considered as the most dangerous snake by humans. This place is crawling with dangerous stuff. You see that green plant with red spots over there?", Naruto explained as he pointed towards a fairly big plant with red markings all over it's body and what appeared to be leaves coming out of it's end.
Still not being able to say anything due to the sudden change in situation, all Akeno was able to do was give a silent nod in agreement.
" That's a Cobra Lily. It's a flesh eating plant which mostly targets insects but it can still bite off a toe finger or something if given a opportunity. We have to be careful of this place. The only reason as to why I know about stuffs like these is because mom basically shoved the knowledge for survival down my throat and Tanin loved to drop me off in various jungles when I was a kid, claiming that surviving on my own in a dangerous jungle is good for experience and training.", Naruto said while remembering how the huge purple dragon took it upon himself to train him in surviving skills. While Grayfia was against this type of training, Sirzechs thought that it would be better for Naruto if he went through this type of training too.
" Umm Naruto-sama, you do realize that there is a snake in your hand, right?", Akeno asked as she saw that Naruto was still holding onto the snake while seemingly lost in thought.
" Hmm, oh yeah. Well what do you know? I totally forgot about this little guy. Here, this should take care of it.", He said as his hand, the one holding onto the snake, started oozing out dark red energy which quickly disintegrated the snake. Not even a single speck of ash remained which can indicate that it ever existed in the first place.
" Anyway, we should resume our search but before that let me apologize for invading your personal space like that. I never meant to cause you any discomfort but had I moved in a threatening manner than it would have attacked you and I can't let any harm befall you. Atleast not on my watch.", Naruto continued as he tried to explain his previous action to Akeno and hoped that she didn't take offense to that. Though he has to admit that her body felt great against his. The feel of her incredibly soft breasts pressing against his chest was nearly too much for him bear. He almost lost control and would have kissed her had it not been for that snake.
" It's alright Naruto-sama. I don't mind being in close vicinity with you. You can do more than just invading my personal space and I promise that I won't mind.", Akeno replied with a sly smile on her face. Now that Naruto is not pressing up against her, she can think clearly again and act like she normally does along with getting a payback of her own.
" Is that so? Well I will hold you to that and we can even 'Play' around a little bit after this mission is over with. What do you say Akeno-chan?", Naruto said with a teasing smile of his own.
Both of their relationship has been like this for a while now. They would always tease each other, trying to embarrass their counterpart but this was the first where they have ever been in such a close proximity. In a manner their relationship is exactly the same as Naruto's and Kuroka's just with less touching and groping.
Though before anything else could be said, both teenagers heard a loud crashing sound followed by slight tremors. This sudden intervention caused both teens to frown as they looked in the direction where the crashing sound came from.
" Hmm seems like we finally found our target but it also seems like someone got to them before us. Akeno-chan, tell me how is your magic training coming along?", Naruto asked in a serious tone while still staring in the direction of crash which was shortly followed by some other crashes and the ground shook again.
" Well enough to be of assistance in any way that I can be Naruto-sama.", she replied in a tense tone. Nervous about the fight that she was sure will be coming their way.
" Good. It looks like a fight is going on several miles ahead of us. We have to be careful so as not to aggravate our potential ally and if needed then we will intervene and make it look like we are trying to help them. There is no doubt that we have a fight on our hands right now. I need you to be vigilant Akeno-chan since we don't know what we are walking into. I will move on the ground and will make myself known to our host first while you will be following from the trees. You will stay hidden and search around the area for any hidden threats while I confront them directly. Don't come out of hiding until give you an order, is that clear?", Naruto ordered as he went into, what his peerage members like to call, his mission mode.
" Yes, Naruto-sama. Crystal clear.", Akeno responded with a nod of her head still feeling a little nervous.
" Good then, let's move. Oh and Akeno-chan?", He called before she could take off into the trees.
" Yes Naruto-sama?", she asked wondering what he wants to say.
" Don't worry I believe in you, you will do great and if something bad happens then I will protect you until my last breath. That's a promise of a lifetime.", Naruto said with a determined smile on his face showing his confidence in her skills.
Blushing bright red, she replied with a smile of her own and said," Of course Naruto-sama. I believe in you too and I also promise to be their for you whenever you need me."
Giving a nod to each other, both teens ran towards the sound of fighting in order to complete their mission.
Diane Matrona likes to think of herself as a very powerful individual and that is not far from the truth.
As a giant, Diane is several times larger than a normal human being and stood at the height of approximately 30 feet. She is a fair maiden, with purple eyes and medium length chestnut brown hair, which is tied up into two twin-tails. She has a particularly well developed and curvaceous body but her face is somewhat childlike with slightly chubby cheeks, big round doe eyes and full pouty pink lips. She has grey robes on her body as a means to cover her modesty.
Now, like mentioned before, Diane likes to think of herself as a powerful individual seeing as she had fought her fair share of enemies and not single one of them has ever managed to injure her.
Before now that is.
Her current opponents are proving themselves to be quite a nuisance at the moment. Well to be honest only one of them is proving himself to be a difficult opponent. The rest were merely watching the fight going on while tending to their injured comrades.
" YYAAAHHH!", she yelled as she swung her huge hammer 'GIDEON' down towards her opponent in order to smash him and paint the ground red with his blood.
CRASH!
BOOM!
The impact was so strong that it created a huge carter and shook the whole forest, uprooting many trees during the process.
" What's going on?!"
" She's a freak! A monster!"
" Let's get out of here before she kills all of us!"
" Shut the hell up you idiots! The fight is not over yet!"
The last statement was yelled by the supposed leader of this group of panicking Fallen angels.
He was a muscular with black hair and brown beady eyes. He stood at the height of 6 feet and wore a long sleeved black coat and black skin-tight pants as his garb. Coming out of his shoulder wings were three pairs of dark black feathered wings, solidifying his image as an imposing and strong Fallen Angel.
" But Harris-sama, she just tore up the whole field. Surely even someone like this guy couldn't have possibly survived that attack!", said a hysteric Fallen-Angel. This guy along with his 3 other companions are all one winged Fallen-Angels, with the exception of Harris of course.
" No, you are underestimating him. He is said to be one of the best mercenary out there. I would've been skeptical just like you had I not seen his power first hand.", Harris replied in a serious tone as he saw Diane looking around and thought that he too came to the same conclusion as him. He is still alive.
And true enough, her attacker was indeed very much alive as he came out of her shadow and attacked her by slashing at her calves with his long sword. Though the attack was unsuccessful as Diane was able to detect his presence behind her dodged at the last moment in a spectacular show of speed and agility.
Not bothered by his attack being dodged, he attacked her head on this time. His whole body was covered in dark black shadows making it impossible for anyone to see his real features.
" Shadow Dragon's Piercing Dark Wave!", he yelled as black shadowy energy covered his sword and he took off towards his opponent, covering the ground between them within a blink of an eye and jumped up in the air pulling his sword back, preparing for a slash.
Diane looked up just as he slashed down towards her, releasing a huge wave of black energy intent on grievously injuring the girl before him. Though just as the attack reached her, she blocked it her hammer and adjusted it in such a way that it directed the wave away from her.
Having successfully redirected the attack, she looked back and once again saw her opponent preparing another Dark Wave but at a much closer distance this time. Knowing that she has to block this attack too, Diane prepared her hammer to do just that but was caught off guard as a light purple arrow stabbed her left shoulder. The sudden sneak attack was able to distract her long enough for the Shadow Man to release his own attack towards beautiful giantess. Just as the attack connected, it kicked up a large amount of dirt covering her whole form.
Looking back towards Harris who still had his hand outstretched, indicating that he was the one who threw that arrow, The Shadow Man stacked towards the six winged Fallen-Angel and said in a raspy tone," I Told You Not To Interfere With My Fight."
" Yes you did, but I saw the opportunity and I took it. You were taking way too long anyway. We have orders to capture that freak of nature and you are getting paid for your services. So, shut up and do as you are told to do if you want to get the rest of your money.", Harris said with a snarl on his face, fully believing that the person infront if him will do just as he was told because of the large of money they are paying to in order to get this job done.
That appeared to be the wrong to say on Harris part as The Shadow Man took a threatening step towards th six winged fallen angel while gripping his sword tightly, preparing it for an attack. Though he stopped in his tracks as everyone in the clearing heard a voice.
" Phew! Made it just time, Hahahaha."
Quickly turning around with their guard up once again both Harris and Shadow Man narrowed their eyes at the settling dust and readied themselves for an attack just in case. Both of their eyes narrowed as they saw what appeared to some sort of orange barrier protecting their target from any harm and standing in front of her was a red haired and yellow eyed teenager, coming out from his shoulder blades was a pair of devil wings.
" Well that was not very manly of you guys, ganging up on a beautiful maiden like that. Your mothers never taught you guys how to behave in a ladies presence and a beautiful one at that?", he asked while giving the Fallen Angels a flat stare.
" Who the fuck do you think you are?! Do you have any idea just who is it you are talking to? This is Harris-sama, one of the high ranking Fallen Angel of Gregory. Show some respect to your betters, you Devil scum!", one of the Fallen Angel minion shrieked out in a weird high pitch tone.
" Now be a good little Devil trash and kneel before Ha-!"
He never got to finish his sentence as a blast of dark red energy engulfed his head, disintegrating everything above his shoulders and leaving behind a perfectly cauterized headless body shaking from the shock before falling down with a dull thud.
" You should not speak when elders are talking, idiot.", The red haired devil replied before turning his attention towards Diane, totally ignoring the gaping Fallen Angels and a tense Shadow Man behind him.
" I apologize for the unsavory display, but that guy was getting on my nerves. Now, before anything else let me introduce myself to you. I am Naruto Gremory, Heir of Gremory clan and what is your name princess?", Naruto asked smoothly as he gave Diane a soft and polite smile.
" Ummm I am Diane Matrona. And just so you know I am not a princess.", Diane replied in a soft voice as she stared at the handsome young man who just saved her. Though it's not like that attack could've harmed her in anyway seeing as something like that can never hurt her too much. She is way more durable than that. Still this is the first time that anyone has ever tried to save her instead of attacking her.
" Nonsense, you are every bit princess I say you are. You are beautiful like one and from what I have just seen, strong like one too. So, yeah no matter what you say, you will always be a princess in my eyes.", Naruto finished once again giving her his best charming smile.
" Is that so. Ok then, you can call me that if you want to.", Diane replied with a small blush adorning her cheeks as she twirled the hair in one of her twin-tails with her finger and started looking everywhere but the Gremory heir, feeling bashful after being complimented for the first time in her life.
" Hey, Gremory what are you doing here? Don't tell me you are here for that freak as well.", Harris asked as he took a step forward while silently indicating his minions to get ready to attack on his command.
" Sigh, And here I was having such a wonderful chat with my friend here. You just couldn't stop yourself for few more minutes could you? Oh and her name is Diane, not freak. Talk to her like that again and I will tear your wings out of your back and shove them up your ass.", Naruto said as he turned around to once again face the Fallen Angels with a glare now present on his features.
" You fucking trash! I will kill you for talking to me like that. Boys show this Devil scum just who he is messing with.", Harris ordered his minions as he himself summoned a purple twilight arrow thinking that there is no way any devil could survive their attack seeing as Fallen Angels Twilight power and Angels Holy power are poisonous to devils.
" Hmm when will you idiots learn not to threaten someone who is clearly superior to you in terms of power. Heck, I don't even want to deal with weaklings right now. You can kill them if you want.", Naruto said while looking at his so called opponents with a bored look on his face, confusing everyone around him about just who he is talking to.
They were not able to dwell on that thought for long though as a Lightning bolt struck where they were standing, electrocuting everyone and burning their bodies to crisp. The only ones who were fast enough to evade the surprise attack were Harris and Shadow Man. The rest of Fallen Angels looked more like burned turkey than anything else.
" Ara it seems like I missed one filthy crow. Do you want me to kill this one too Naruto-sama?", Came a voice from trees as a figure soon followed and came out from their hiding spot to stand in front Harris and Shadow Man, lightning crackling around their hands indicating that this is the same person who just killed 3 Fallen Angels.
This figure was none other than Akeno Himejima.
" No Akeno-chan, that won't be necessary. Besides I don't think that you are ready yet to take on a foe like this.", Naruto said as he ordered her to stand down and let him handle things from there. He knew of her hate towards everything Fallen Angels related and the reason behind said hate. Both Rias and him have been trying to quell that hate in her heart and the disgust she feels about herself for having a Fallen Angel's blood flowing through her veins.
" That lightning! Tell me girl, are you by any chance Baraqiel's daughter?", Harris asked as he narrowed his eyes in concentration while studying Akeno's features.
" Don't take that man's name in my presence!", Akeno snarled as blue lightning surrounding her hands started to grow in intensity while making a strange buzzing sound.
" You are. Aren't you? You know it wasn't your father's fault that your mother died. He was indisposed when that tragedy took place. If you want then I can take you back to him and you will be free from these fucking devils.", Harris said as tried to make Akeno see reason and make her come to his side.
" I said don't take that man's name in my presence!", Akeno gritted out as she shot a lightning bolt at Harris. Though her attack was easily stopped by the six winged Fallen Angel who gave her a frown in return.
" It seems that you won't see reason easily. It's a pity actually, I wanted to help you reunite with your father but now I think that you are way too far gone. I can't in good conscience allow a Fallen Angel and Devil hybrid to live. I am sorry but I have to kill you now in order to stop this abomination you have become.", Harris said as he a purple light spear appeared in his hand and he chucked it towards Akeno.
Though before the spear could reach her, it was stopped by Naruto who had caught said spear in his bare hands, ignoring the burning sensation it causing to him.
" What did you just say?", Naruto asked in a quite tone as his hair covered his eyes casting a shadow over them. Dark red aura started to surround him as his energy level started to spike up. Small stones started to float in air as the ground itself started to shake from the pressure.
Covering the distance between themselves in a blink of an eye, Naruto snatched Harris by his neck with jst one hand while his other hand was still holding the purple light spear.
" I asked you a question, mongrel. What did you call her?", Naruto asked through gritted teeth as he started applying more pressure on Harris's neck making him choke from the tight grip and lack of air.
" I-I called her an abomination be-because she is one and so are y-you, you Devil scum.", Harris choked out as he clawed at Naruto's hand, trying his best to get free from his unbelievably strong grip.
" You can call me as many names as you want but the moment you insult or threaten one of my precious people, you have withdrawn your right to live. I don't take it lightly when someone threatens the people I love.", Naruto gritted out as he tightened his grip some more making the Fallen Angel go blue in face due to lack of air.
Gathering what little energy he could, Harris formed a small purple knife as he tried to stab Naruto with it but before he could, he was stabbed by his own spear, which was in Naruto's hand, through his heart.
Eyes widening, Harris looked down to see his own spear sticking out of his chest. Letting out one last strangled gasp, his eyes dulled as life left his body.
Throwing the now dead Fallen Angel away, Naruto looked towards The Shadow Man who has been silent till now and asked," Are you going to just stand there or do you want to fight too?"
" You Took Away My Meal Ticket.", Shadow Man said as he took a step towards Naruto.
" Well he was being a douche. Besides you were already going to kill him yourself, I just did it before you could.", Naruto replied as he gave an uncaring shrug, not really bothered if this Shadow Man will try to attack him or not.
" Yes That's True. I Was Going To Kill Him But Now It Seems That I Will Have to Settle With You Instead.", he said as he quickly jumped towards Naruto and went for a diagonal slash fully intending to cut the red head open.
Naruto immediately put his up as dark red energy covered his palm and extended forward a bit too, taking the shape of a sword.
Clang!
Both steel and energy swords collided against each other as both opponents tried to push their adversary back. Giving a sudden shove, Naruto took a side step as he slashed at his opponent with his energy sword.
Reeling back a bit from the force, Shadow Man jumped back in order to gain some distance between themselves as he narrowly dodged another sash from Naruto. Regaining his footing, he too started to attack back and soon the two were engaged in a high paced sword fight.
Slash after slash, both tried to connect a hit with their opponent. Not once did either of them used punches, kicks or energy attacks. This was a pure sword battle.
Sometime during the fight Akeno had joined Diane, who was sitting on the ground cross legged with one hand under her chin, watching the match intently.
" Do you mind if I sit down beside you?", Akeno asked politely, her cheeks still red from Naruto's exclamation of her being one of his precious person.
" Hmm, Ya go ahead though know that if you try anything, I will kill you in a heartbeat.", Diane replied not even bothering to look towards the black haired beauty. There's no way she's going to miss even a single second of this fight, it's way too intense and awesome for her to remove her eyes from it. Though it was clear to her that this Shadow Man is more skilled than Naruto but Naruto was stronger and faster than Shadow Man.
" Do you mind if I ask you a question?", Akeno asked once again trying to start a conversation with the giant girl sitting beside her.
" Shoot.", Diane replied still not bothering to look towards her.
" Umm don't take this wrong way but are there any more giants in this forest other than you?", she asked while trying to be as polite as possible.
For the first time during their conversation, Diane looked towards Akeno with a frown on her face and said," What? You think that just because I big that I am a giant? Well for your kind information, I was not always like this. I don't know why but soon after unlocking my magic, my body started to grow and I became like this. Before that I too was of normal size just like you. I am not a freak so stop treating me like one!"
" I never said you are a freak Diane-san. I know what it feels like to be something that you don't want to be. I hate that part of myself but Naruto-sama and Rias-sama have never mistreated me for being who I am and I know for sure that they won't treat you badly either. Naruto-sama may me a bit flirtatious, egoistical, self centered and selfish person but deep down he is a very good person who will do just about anything those he care about." Akeno finished as she gazed lovingly at Naruto, which was kinda odd seeing as right now he was dueling his opponent with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
" So, you and Naruto. Are you guys like in a relationship or something?", Diane asked softly as she tried to pretend like this topic was of no interest to her but eyes were a dead give away that Naruto has made a huge impact on the beautiful giantess.
" Heheheh, no we are not in a relationship...yet. I would like to be in one with him but that's for later, right now what matters is your condition. You said that you were a normal sized person before unlocking your magic, correct?", Akeno asked as she fully turned towards Diane who gave her a confused nod, not understanding where this was going now.
Looking at her confused expression, Akeno continued," Well there is Genius Devil in Underworld by the name of Ajuka Beelzebub. He is the head of research and technology development department of Underworld. He is also Naruto-sama's Godfather. I am sure that he will be able to help you if you want to return to your normal size once again."
" You are not playing with me, are you? Because if you are then I will seriously kill you right here right now.", Diane asked with a frown on her face as her grip on GIDEON tightened.
" No, I am not lying Diane-san. I can not say for sure if he will be able to help you or not but if there is even a tiny chance of you being able to live normally again then I think that you should take it. And believe when I say that if anyone can help you then it's him.", Akeno replied with a completely serious face. She can feel somewhat connected to Diane seeing as both have something that neither of them want to be.
Staring intently in her eyes, Diane searched for any kind of lie or deception but found none. So with a nod she said," Ok, I will hold you to that but know that if you betray the trust I am putting in you then I will do everything in my power to make you regret the day you were born. Now be quite it seems like this fight is about to end.
And sure enough after what felt like hours but were only few minutes both Naruto and Shadow Man jumped apart from each other and readied themselves for their last attacks.
There were several white cracks on Shadow Man's body as his right hand was shaking from overexertion and his breaths were coming in short pants showing that he was on his last legs.
Standing in his opposite direction was Naruto, who also had several rips on his clothes but other than that he appeared to be totally fine. His breathing was calm, there was not even a hint of sweat on his forehead.
" You Have Been Holding Back On Me.", Shadow Man said as tried to regain his breathing.
" That I have. I wouldn't want you to die so soon, you know. This is the first time someone other than my best friend has been able to hold their own against me what I am using 50% of my strength and speed. That's really saying something, you know. I am impressed, though I do have to admit that you are a better swordsman than me. You are just lacking in strength and stamina.". Naruto replied a huge smile on his face. He has been fighting many opponents from various races but this is the first time where someone has given his such a challenge in a life and death fight.
" I Don't Think That I Can Fight You Much Longer. Let's Finish This With A Last Attack. Though Before That Tell Me, You Mentioned That You Are Gremory Heir, Right?", Shadow Man asked as he was finally able to regain his bearing and stood up straight.
" Yes I am the current heir of Gremory Family, one of the 72 pillars of underworld.", Naruto replied as he himself wondered where this going to.
" Good Then. Let's Make A Bet. If I Win Then You Will Give Me Any Amount Of Money I want But If You Win Then I Will Swear My Allegiance To You. But Remember I Will Serve You And You, I Will Not Take Orders From Anyone Else.", Shadow Man said as he readied his sword for his last attack. His pride commands him to offer his services to the one who has gained his respect.
" Very well, I can agree to those terms. Though before that atleast tell me your name?", Naruto asked as he too readied his energy sword for their last clash.
" Defeat Me And I Will Gladly Tell You Everything About Myself, Including My Name."
Taking that as a que to attack, both warriors gave a roar as they dashed towards each other, their swords pulled back.
Finally reaching their opponents, both slashed at each other as they skidded to a stop. Their backs facing each other.
" Hmm looks like it's win huh?", Naruto said in a soft tone as he stood up, his right shoulder bleeding from the cut he just sustained from his opponents sword.
" Yeah Looks Like It. Oh And You Asked For My. It's Rogue.", The now known as Rogue said as his shadowy body got covered in white cracks and the black shadows broke away like glass finally revealing the person beneath that Shadow Armor.
Rogue is a young man around the same age as Naruto. He has dark black hair with bangs falling on his forehead and covering his left eye. For Clothing he wore black trench coat with golden designing and leather pants.
" Well, thanks for the good fight, Rogue. But as per out bet I-", Naruto never got to finish his sentence as Rogue fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes rolled in the back of his head, showing that he was indeed unconscious.
" Ara Ara, it seems like you hit him a bit too hard Naruto-sama. The poor guy is unconscious now. Though I love it about you, your ability to dish out pain, it's so ...Ah Alluring.", Akeno said in a teasing tone as she appeared near Naruto along with Daine, who was still twirling her hair with a blush on her face and was looking everywhere but at Naruto, trying her hardest to avoid eye contact with the red haired devil.
Giving a sheepish chuckle, Naruto said," Yeah, sorry about that. I got a bit too excited near the end of our fight and ended up using more force than required. Anyway, since I won the bet then Rogue will be coming with us and from what I heard Diane-hime will be coming too. Right?"
" You heard that? But we were a good amount of distance away and you were busy fighting. How can you hear us during all that?", Diane asked with a skeptical look on her face and finally making an eye contact with Naruto, though she blushed again as she his smile aimed at her.
" Yeah I heard all of that. These pointy elf like ears are not just for show you know. I can hear from a great amount of distance, no sweat.", Naruto said with amusement clear in his voice.
" Ah, I see. If that's how it is then alright. And yes I will be coming with you guys but that's only because you never tried to attack me, unlike those idiots before you. Also I will warn you once again, don't try to betray the trust I am putting in you. If you did then I will make your life living hell. No matter how cute you are, I will hurt you.", Diane said with a serious look on her face for the first time while talking to Naruto.
" I give you my word as Gremory Heir, Nothing bad will happen to you as long as you are by my side. And I will also talk to Uncle Ajuka about your problem so don't worry about that either. Now, Akeno-chan prepare the teleportation circle for Gremory Estate.", Naruto said as he picked up Rogue like a sack of potatoes on his shoulder. His injury having already been healed.
" Yes, at once Naruto-sama."
A large red circle, with rose emblem in it's center, lit up beneath them as Naruto once again looked at Diane and said," Let me show you my home Diane-hime."
And with that all four teleported to underworld, none of them noticing a pair eyes looking at them from their hidden spot, their owners mouth splitting into a huge grin and said," Hmmmm Naruto Gremory huh? Interesting. Very interesting."
