"UGH! I'm so bored!" a certain amazoness wailed as she lay on he bed her head hanging upside down from the edge and her feet kicking the mattress childishly. Her sister sighed and looked over from her mirror to see the pouting face of her younger sister.

"Then why don't you go out Tiona?" this got the amazoness to leap up.

"Capital idea!" she cheered but then turned somber and fell back onto her bed.

"But it's no fun alone!" she wailed again as her sister sighed and returned to grooming her hair. However, her selfcare was interrupted when Tiona suddenly draped herself over her sister.

"C'mon Tione come with me!" she begged poking her sister's cheek as Tione rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders causing her sister to fall.

"I'll go…" Tiona cheered at her answer "if you can convince captain to come along as well." At this Tiona deflated.

"Aw but he's busy today!"

"Then I guess you'll just have to go by yourself." Tione stated and Tiona puffed her cheeks as she pouted but then smirked as a glint formed in her eye.

"Oh, I see, you don't have the guts to talk to the captain so your making me do it. Fu fu fu!" at this Tione blushed madly and turned on her sister.

"That's not true in the slightest!" she defended but Tiona just stood there with her face splitting grin.

"You say that and yet you have never once been with him romantically, OH ho ho ho ho!" Tiona laughed while covering her mouth with the back side of her hand. Tione for her part felt rage build up inside her.

"Well! You haven't been with anyone either so Ha!" Tiona's smirk only grew at Tione's declaration and said amazoness noticed. "Y-you haven't… right?" this just couldn't be true. The idea of her little sister beating her in the field of love, especially with a puny body like that. Inconceivable!

"Unlike you I have already met my prince!"

"When!" Tione asked as Tiona got a far away look in her eye's and somehow the background around her turned pink with shinning lights.

"I was on my way home after a late night from Mama Mia's when suddenly brigands descended upon me!"

Her sister just stared at her with a deadpanned expression "The hell is with this atmosphere."

XxxxFLASHBACKxxxX

"Ugh those jerks!" Tiona slurred as she stumbled along. Her Familia was just celebrating a successful dungeon expedition and the team may have gotten a bit to hammered. Riveria had gathered her party and herded them home but Tiona had managed to be left behind. Now she was alone and a little tipsy as she lazily dragged her feet across the stone alley way floor.

"You lost sweetheart?" a gruff voice asked as Tiona looked up and through her hazy vision she could make out a man leaning against the building. Even with her impaired sight Tiona could see his sick grin and lecherous eyes.

"Huh?" she lazily inquired as two more gruff looking men came from around the corner equally as nasty looking as the first with the same grins.

"Looks like we got a tipsy one." One of the men chuckled perversely.

"We can't let a young lass like you walk the streets alone like this, why don't you come with us?" The other man said in what she guessed was his sad attempt at being suave. Tiona new these guys would be instantly crushed by her, she was an Amazoness after all. Though some small part of her wished someone would come to save her at the last seconds like in her beloved fairy tales. However, she was beginning to understand that as an Amazoness no one would come to her rescue, she was expected to be the warrior her kind were known to be and nothing else.

"Let's just get this…"

"Hey what do you think your doing!" The call came as a surprise to the whole group as all four looked to see a Blonde Reynard standing at the entrance of the Alley and Tiona's eyes began to widen moment by moment the longer she looked at him. He was handsome, with golden blond hair and bright blue eyes. If he was wearing shining armor he would be the picture of some of her story book princes.

"None of your business why don't you scram blondie." The first brigand demanded as the blonde's eyes narrowed.

"You really think I'm going to leave a girl alone with you three? You are out of your minds! So why don't you all leave her alone and crawl back under whatever rock you came out of!" The three men looked at each other before exploding into laughter. Tiona looked at the three of them but then in a blink of an eye one of them was missing and so was the blonde. A crash rang through the alley way and Tiona turned to see the blonde with his leg outstretched and one of the men imbedded into a wall. The other two men twisted in place their grins replaced with scowls.

"Bastard!" One yelled and went to punch the blonde but the blonde caught his wrist and effortlessly flipped the man over his shoulder into the man that was already imbedded into the wall. The third tried to sucker punch him while his back was turned but he just leaned forward keeping one foot on the ground while kicking the other up and kicking the man with his heel and sending him flying backwards.

Tiona for her part was impressed with the blondes combat abilities but more than that she felt a little warm on the inside at how he rescued her. The way he swooped in and defended her from less than savory characters, the only thing that would make this better would be if her addressed her as milady.

"Are you alright? They didn't hurt you, did they?" Tiona felt warmth enter her cheeks as the blonde looked at her, the moonlight shinning in his hair at just the right angle making him look even more princely. This was the first time a stranger had asked her if she was okay, being an Amazoness most just assumed she was fine and moved on. For the first time in a long while she actually felt like a normal girl.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. Who are you?" she asked, and the man smiled and she could feel a thump in her chest.

"My name's Naruto Uzumaki and you milady?" oh gods yes!

"Tiona Hiryute."

"Well Tiona would you like for me to walk you home?"

"Yeah… I would like that."

XxxxFLASHBACKENDxxxX

"and so, my prince walked me home ensuring that no further ill-mannered ruffians befell me." Tiona exclaimed with vigor as her sister just continued to stare at her with disbelief.

"Oh, that's is a load of Bull! You really expect me to believe that story? You should have left the milady part out it would've been more believable then!"

Tiona began to pout and poke her fingers together "but it did happen."

"Forgive me sister but I don't believe it for a second." Tione claimed as Tiona scowled before she began smirking again.

"Fu fu fu fu, I see. Your just jealous!"

"Hah!?"

"Your jealous that your little sister has scored a man before you. Even though you have those giant hooters!" as she spoke a tic mark slowly formed on Tione's forehead as she stared at her sisters gloating face.

"Tiona!" she screamed and Tiona in response eeped and ran out of the room when her sister charged her. The duo ran through the Halls of the expansive Loki headquarters their cries gaining the attention of the other members as they raced through the halls.

"Tiona I'm goanna beat you black and blue!"

"It's okay this is just your insecurities working themselves out!"

"Your words Anger me! KEEP TALKING!" The amazoness sisters finally found themselves at the entrance of the mansion and Tiona was just inches away from Tione's clutches. Until a certain Pallum caught Tione's attention and she came to screeching halt.

"Captain!" she said in surprise as he stood in the entrance calm smile placed on his face.

"Hello Tione, everyone is just as lively as ever I see." He said politely.

"W-what are you doing back you weren't supposed to be back until later today?" Tione asked while desperately smoothing her hair down as discreetly as she could.

"Well I was but it turns out the Kuruma Familia have been dealing with some problems right now so our joint expedition has been put on hold for now." This is when Tiona edged herself into the conversation.

"What!? Are you sure?" She asked tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm afraid so, Naruto assured me that the problem is being dealt with and that they're just finding their bearings right now." At this the Amazoness deflated while Tione smiled at the captain.

"So, does that mean your free for the rest of the day?"

"Unfortunately not I still have some work that has to be done. Gods know that Loki's not going to do it. Why don't you grab Ais and the others and get some dungeon time in, it can't hurt right?" Now it was Tione's turn to deflate. She just watched depressingly as Finn walked up the stairs heading towards his office.

"Hey, speaking of Ais where is she?" Tiona asked and Riveria who had returned with Finn answered.

"She has another morning engagement at the moment." The two Amazonesses looked at each other then back towards the green haired Elf.

"What engagement?"

XxxxWITHBELLxxxX

"S-so, Miss Wallenstein…?" Bell said as both he and Ais stood atop one of Orario's perimeter walls. At the sound of her last name Ais turned her expression unchanged as she looked at Bell.

"Ais." She replied getting a confused sound from Bell. "Call me Ais, everyone does." she then cocked her head ever so slightly to the side "Would that bother you?" Bell felt the familiar sensation of heat coming to his cheeks.

"Not at all!" he said vehemently shaking his head before his gaze lowered "Um A-Ais…" just saying her name made him feel like a nervous wreck. "Well what exactly should I do for training?" he asked, and a certain blonde Reynard suddenly felt betrayed.

"What should we do?" she muttered more to herself then Bell. "I've been thinking about it ever since yesterday but… hmm… Your weapon is a knife, isn't it? Do you use and kicks or martial arts?"

"N-no… not really."

"Let me see your knife." She asked and bell drew his normal knife and handed it to her hilt first. She took a moment to examine the weapon and Bell watched with anticipation. Then Ais struck an… odd pose.

"Like this?" she asked and Bell didn't have a chance to respond as she struck another pose.

"Like this?" once again she switched poses before he could answer.

"Like this?" at the last pose Bell idly wondered if Ais was actually an airhead.

"Um, I think we should go ov…" he didn't get a chance to finish his suggestion as Ais whirled around and delivered a solid heel kick to his cheek sending the white capped teen spiraling back. After she did she seemed surprised and a little worried at the action she had taken, her reflexes had kicked in when he began his approach and she might not have been concentrating all that hard.

'She really is an airhead.' He thought to himself as he struggled to lift himself after the blow. Ais herself walked towards Bell and kneeled at his side.

"I'm sorry." She apologized as Bell pulled himself into an upright position.

"No… it's not your fault." He tried assuring her before going into a coughing fit. Ais looked at him before standing up.

"Let's fight after all."

"Huh?" Ais had drawn her sword and with that action Bell bolted to his feet but calmed some when Ais placed her blade against the wall and instead wielded her sheath. Standing away from him she took her position and furrowed her brows as Bell followed suit quickly flipping his knife forwards and taking up a position as well.

"That's right." She said getting a confused look from Bell. "How you responded just now, you need to be sensitive to certain things in battle. If you are, you'll learn to fight whether you want to or not." She explained as she started taking slow steps towards Bell and Bell began taking steps back.

"You're a coward, aren't you?" Bell's eyes slightly widened at her question though it was more of a statement. "I think it's important to be a coward, because that means you protect yourself. But your afraid of something else besides that." Bells eyes widened further as his brows furrowed upwards and the memory of a raging minotaur invaded his mind, the image of his goddess in the maw of that monster and his own inability to do anything about either situation's.

Gripping his Knife he grunted and came for an overhead slash which Ais quickly countered with a swift strike to the ribs.

"Don't lose focus!" She raced around and behind him, moving in the blink of an eye. "Don't create blind spots." She continued as Bell whirled around to face her only to received a jab to his chest plate sending him reeling. "Keep and Eye on everything around you!" Bell's eyes went wide as similar words echoed through his head and he remembered Naruto's lessons.

Shaking his head, he came back with two swings which were easily dodged by Ais and she went in with a three swift strikes to his thigh, wrist and arm sending him to his knees.

"Your skills and strategy are lacking." She told him as he kneeled on the ground. "Can you stand?" she asked, and he grunted as he stood.

"Please let me try again!" she nodded, and he charged Ais went in for a side swipe which Bell ducked over and for a moment there was an opening which he took advantage of. As his blade inched closer, he began to think he might actually land a hit. Those thoughts were thoroughly dashed when Ais brought her scabbard down over his head.

For a moment they both stood there until Bell's body had caught up with the fact that he had just been knocked out and he fell to the floor. Ais made a noise of surprise and reached down as her serious persona was replaced by a worried expression.

For a few hours this is how they kept going Bell trying to find and opening while Ais darted around making his sense go into overdrive. One between a certain Freya Familia member and a Minotaur.

It wasn't long before Bell had to excuse himself so he could meet Lilli for their dungeon crawl today. Though he might've also did it to save his bones from anymore abuse. Ais for her part watched him leave and for a moment felt lonely.

"Oh! Ais I have tomorrow off so why don't we meet here again?" Bell called back and that Lonely feeling faded away. Ais nodded and Bell smiled as he descended to the bottom of the Wall.

Eventually he made his way to the Dungeon entrance where Lilli was waiting for him and they both entered. The first few floors didn't really hold much today as they easily made their way down to the tenth floor.

"Bell, how deep do you want to go today?" Lilli asked as they walked along the misty dungeon floor.

"Well we both are taking tomorrow off so let's go as deep as we can today." Lilli nodded.

"Are you doing alright?" she asked, and Bell didn't need clarification. They needed to find a new place to live since none of them really wanted to mooch off of Kurama and her Familia forever.

"Yeah, though it does feel a bit weird, that place was starting to feel like home." Lilli smiled up at him and her returned the gesture though he did wince at the effort. Something that Lilli noticed.

"Say why is it you were so beat up before we came into the dungeon?" she asked as Bell chuckled nervously while he winced at the phantom pain that ran through his body. Her question would remain unanswered as a group of Imps suddenly poured out of the mist and Bell quickly drew his knife.

"Lilli get back!" the Pallum nodded and jogged back just in time as even more Imps appeared behind Bell. A group of three charged him as Bell met them quickly slashing threw two before stabbing the last one. Two more tried to take advantage and jumped him from behind.

'do you use kicks or martial arts?' He heard Ais's voice echo in his head as he grunted and stretched his leg out while spinning heel kicking on of the imps and sending it flying into its partner.

'Don't lose your focus.' His eyes darted back and forth as he saw another imp trying to sneak up behind him and he quickly slashed at the Imp killing it. Another group of three charged him and he spun around back kicking one while stabbing a second and then slicing the third. Four more came at him and Naruto's words rang through his mind.

'Always be away of your surroundings.' Looking down Bell dug his blade into the ground before ripping it up and sending a wave of dirt and dust temporarily disorientating the Imps as four arrows came down hitting each in the head. Bell was surprised as he looked back and saw Lilli loading her crossbow at a incredible pace firing volley after volley. Smiling to himself he retreated to her side as the Imps also retreated away.

The two relaxed for a moment but were interrupted when a bellowing howl rang through the air and a group of eight orcs came marching out of the mist and the Imps hid behind them.

"Bell should we retreat for now?" Lilli asked seeing how they were outnumbered, and Bell took a moment before he shook his head.

"No, we got this." He said as Lilli nodded with smile believing in her partner. 'I won't run anymore, I can't! I have a goal to reach in order reach them!' he thought to himself seeing two blondes flash through his mind as he charged the Orcs with a battle cry.

"Well it seems we have ourselves a situation." Ino said sitting on the bed staring down Kurama as said goddess leaned against the wall and Naruto stood away from the two looking between them.

"Indeed, we do." Kurama replied as she stared down the purple clad blonde. "Though I think it's a moot point seeing as I am the goddess so what I say goes."

"That's so not how this works!" Ino claimed as Kurama shrugged.

"Kinda is how it goes actually." Naruto was inclined to agree, when you join a Familia you listen to your gods or goddesses' orders since they are your leader.

"She has a point." Naruto said and Ino whipped her head to scowl at him while Kurama looked smug.

"You stay out of this!" Ino ordered and Naruto shrunk under her gaze.

"Yes ma'am."

"Good now you might be our goddess, but I still think I should be the one to stay with Naruto." Yes, the two women had talked about their feelings for Naruto and now came the real argument. Who gets to sleep with Naruto? The two seemed civil at first when they accepted the fact that Naruto loved both of them. Not that it was really a worrying subject since Ino had already made it clear that she trusted Naruto to love her even with others. Once the conversation came to a close Kurama brought up sleeping arrangements and the conversation just devolved from there.

"That's not fair and you know it! Fine lets forget the fact that I am your Goddess it still isn't fair that you get to sleep with him! You've had all of your childhood and even recent opportunities to sleep with him it's my turn!"

"Those times don't count! We weren't a couple back then." Ino claimed as Kurama simply smirked.

"Yes, those times do count. The fact stands that you already slept with him now it's my turn." Mito then meowed as Kurama bent down to pick the cat up who had wandered in some time ago. "See even Mito agrees!" Ino tsked with annoyance as she knew her goddess had a point. When they were kids, she would always sneak into Naruto's room and sleep with him and she still did it every now and again. If they were being fair Kurama was making a good point.

"Well we did sleep together that one-time, right Kurama?" Naruto said remembering the time he almost kissed Kurama and they both fell asleep. At this reminder Kurama flinched as Ino eyes began to spark with agitation.

"OH~? So you've slept with him already then?" now it was Ino's turn to look smug as Kurama chuckled nervously.

"N-no, that time doesn't count!"

"Oh, if all of my past times count so do yours!" it was at this point Naruto began to edge himself towards the door and quietly left the room. Taking in a breath of relief he smiled. If you had asked him a few days ago that he would be able to express his love to the women in his life he would've laughed. Now it didn't seem so farfetched.

"Naruto finally free, are you?" turning Naruto said it was Kiba who called him and Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah… its just a little…"

"It's so infuriating!"

"Huh?" Kiba eyes were practically cross as he gritted his teeth and stared down at Naruto.

"I mean here you are scoring not only Ino which I guess we all saw coming but you also scored Lady Kurama as well. I can't even get Hinata to look at me!" he wailed while Naruto chuckled nervously.

"Well maybe she's not a dog person."

"Damn you!" he yelled and went to tackle the Reynard as Naruto simply vaulted over him.

"Don't hate the player hate the game!" Naruto called back as Kiba gave chase as the two sped down the hallways and made their way to the main common room. Kiba had managed to jump onto Naruto and the two went tumbling down the stair and tipped over a couch during their struggle.

"What are you two idiots' doing?" Sakura demanded as the two looked up to see Sakura and Hinata looking down on them. Choji and Shino were in the middle of the room playing cards.

"uh nothing." Kiba said getting up and dusting himself off. "So what's going on here?"

"well me and Hinata were having a very nice conversation before you two nearly flattened us."

"W-we did, Are you okay Hinata?" Kiba asked as Hinata nodded he cat tail flicking aimlessly behind her.

"Yes n-no worries Kiba." She told him making him sigh in relief, at least until Sakura grabbed his wolf ear causing him to yowl in pain.

"aren't you going to ask if I'm okay? You almost crushed me too." She asked annoyance clear in her face.

"Of course you're okay, you gorilla!" Kiba yelled as Sakura's eyes narrowed and she drew her fist back and smacked him right across the room. Naruto just sat there laughing at him while Hinata went to check on him.

"Oh, and what are you laughing at?" Sakura asked as Naruto froze.

"N-nothing… are you okay Sakura?" he asked while standing back up and Sakura huffed.

"That's better." Naruto just sweat dropped at her response and looked around once again.
"Hey… where's Ryuzetsu?" he asked, and Sakura pointed to the staircases.

"She's in the training room with that little squirrel thing." She answered and once again Naruto sweat dropped at her answer.

"What about Sasuke?"

"He is currently tracking that monsters trail. I offered to go with him, but he said I would just slow him down! Can you believe that?"

"Well your forte is smashing things so…":

"And what does that mean!" Sakura screamed her scowl returning ten fold.

"Nothing!" Naruto cried while holding his hands up in surrender.

"Good." She said and in a huff walked off towards Hinata who was fanning Kiba who had been knocked out from Sakura's blow.

"Right thanks." He said as he went up the stairs and made his way to the training room. Once there he opened the door just in time to see Ryuzetsu fly in front of him and slam into the training room wall. luckily it was padded so it wasn't that bad of an impact but still. Looking over her saw what he assumed was Kando. Though he was big, very big and he looked more like a saber tooth tiger than his usual appearance.

"Oh! Naruto good to see you." Kando said as his form began to shrink until he returned to his original size and Ryuzetsu groaned as she sat up.

"You okay?" Naruto asked the dark elf.

"Oh, she's fine." A groan gave Naruto a different impression. "Just a little work out… and a little revenge." He said that last part a quietly as Ryuzetsu hobbled her way over to the two.

"Your form is quite good and your becoming quite skilled with that little spell I taught you."

"What is the spell anyway?" Naruto asked and Kando chuckled as his tail wagged mischievously.

"It's a surprise." Naruto rolled his eyes at the carbuncles answer.

"Hey, I Haven't seen Tachiel in a while where is she?" Naruto asked and Kando just cocked his head to the side. He then used his tail to point at his neck and Naruto was at first confused before his eyes widened and he sighed feeling a weight shift in his hood.

"How do I keep forgetting?" he idly asked himself as Tachiel jumped form his shoulder and stood in front of him. "You weren't there when I was with Kurama… where you?" the red carbuncle shook her head and Naruto sighed in relief.

"Hey did you get the portal up and running yet?" Kando asked and Tachiel nodded.

"Wait you did? Where?" Naruto asked remembering the request Fürhen had made when he left archive city. Tachiel's crystal glowed slightly as an image of Naruto's room was projected from it and then zoomed in on his body mirror.

"Wait my mirror is the portal?" Tachiel nodded. "Huh, I personally think that a more central location would be better, I mean it is my room after all how am I going to have privacy?"

"Well, you can just move the mirror. Creating a portal using a mirror has always been the most effective way to do it." Naruto nodded accepting his answer.

"Alright, hey Ryuzetsu I was wondering if you would like to head into the dungeon today? You haven't been there, yet right?" Ryuzetsu bolted right up and grabbed Naruto's shoulders and looked at him with a… pretty scary glint in her eye as she sheathed the Katana she had.

"There are monsters in the Dungeon, right?"

"Um, yeah…"

"Big scary and hungry ones, right?"

"Yes why?" instead of answering Ryuzetsu slowly turned her head to face a now nervous looking Kando and Tachiel had already teleported back into Naruto's hood. Ryuzetsu then began to laugh slightly maniacally as she grabbed the Carbuncle by the scruff and walked out of the training room.

"Well let's go! Those dungeon monsters could use a snack I'm sure!"

"This is cruel and unusual punishment! I refuse! I REFUSE!" Naruto just watched them walk away before shrugging and following the two.

"hmm…" Freya hummed to herself as she lazily twirled her wine before taking a sip. Examining it for a moment she raised it up so she could view the sun through the red haze of the liquid.

"I know I promised myself I would leave well enough alone for his sake, but his problems seem to be piling up. Perhaps I can give that student of his a little push, right Ottar?" she asked and a Boaz man standing beside her that was built like a mountain simply grunted and bowed to his goddess. Exiting the room Freya returned to her thoughts and began to giggle lightly.

"Please forgive me, but as he is right now, that boy isn't worthy of being your student. My Darling." She said as a certain Reynard flashed through her mind.

XxxxWITHSASUKExxxX

Sasuke was currently following the trail of the monster that Naruto had fought recently. In all honesty it wasn't hard the beast had left plenty of tracks in its wake and they all lead into the forest. Following the tracks Sasuke had entered the forest and it became even easier to track the beast's path. Indents in the ground scrapped trees and trees that had been either snapped or ripped from the ground the only thing that would make this simpler would be signs.

Continuing on he followed the trail and came upon a few surface monsters but they posed no threat to him and they knew that as they would retreat. The trail eventually lead him to a pool of water looking around and across the pool he saw that the tracks didn't exit the pool except from where he was standing. It was obvious the beast had exited out the pool but he could see the bottom there was no tunnel or whole for the creature to have traversed, so how did it come out of there.

He kneeled down to re-examine the tracks but couldn't find any oddity or deviation with them. Kneeling there for a moment he finally decided to take a closer look. Removing his clothing save for his pants he set them neatly on the ground and unsheathed his tantos before diving into the water. The pool was actually a lot deeper than he had first anticipated and as he approached the bottom something became odd to him.

The floor looked off, though it looked all natural with stones and sand something was bugging him. Looking around he noticed something, the rays of light on the sides of the pools were flicking across the stones but as they approached the middle, they abruptly cut off. Looking back down he dove deep until he came close enough to the bottom that he could reach it.

Taking one of his tantos he reached down and stabbed it into the ground. Only he didn't feel any resistance, he swished it around and the tanto passed through the floor as if it wasn't there at all. He then pushed further and pressed his face to the ground and it too passed through and his eyes widened as on the other side was a tunnel that expanded into blackness.

Going back up to the surface he quickly went for his clothes and quickly fumbled with his supply bag and brought out two vials. One held a normal magic crystal while the other held a piece of the Red crystal that Shikamaru was able to chip off. Ino had already told them how the Crystals would react to each other and that it wasn't safe to touch.

Taking the phial with the normal crystal he tied it to a string and put it around his neck the other one he strapped to his arm so he could easily see it. Taking in a deep breath he dove back into the pool and headed straight for the bottom once he passed the illusion of the bottom the crystal around his neck began to glow in the absence of the light. It illuminated the tunnel as he dove further the weight of his tanto's aiding in his decent. The tunnel itself was actually rather wide and could easily fit four of those centipede monsters together.

It didn't take long for him to reach the bottom as he finally came upon the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, it opened up for what he assumed was a large underwater cavern the light of his crystal didn't even illuminate anything past maybe fifteen feet from the exit of the tunnel. Moving his body around he took his left tanto, Moon, and stabbed it near the rim of the tunnel.

Now he just held his other tanto, Shadow, and allowed it to drag him to the bottom conserving as much energy as he could. He couldn't tell how far he floated down but if he would hazard a guess it was maybe one hundred and fifty feet give or take. Once reaching the bottom the light of the crystal revealed the bottom to be nothing but stone. He quickly began to look around for any clues or possible tracks in the stone but he couldn't find anything plus his lungs were reaching their limit.

Then something caught his eye. The Red crystal in the phial began to pulsate as the crystal itself began to wiggle a bit. It then slipped to the bottom of the phial causing the phial to point and Sasuke whirled around his senses on high alert as he faced the direction the crystal was pointing. However there was nothing but darkness. Then suddenly he felt a rush of force hit him as the crystal suddenly pointed up then behind him all in one fluid motion. He spun around and activated his Sharingan. The light from his crystal became brighter with his new vison activated and the particles in the water slowed and he could see just a little bit farther now.

Then he felt it a tremor like something hit the ground hard, something big. Looking up he saw the crystal began to swivel slightly side to side and he came to the realization that whatever the monster was snaking its way towards him. Quickly tearing the normal glowing crystal from his neck he tossed it allowing it to sink while raising his tanto and it began to glow dimly.

The crystal was glowing fiercely now and the swivel became more and more violent. He grabbed the phial with the red crystal and covered it with his hand hiding its glow as his Tanto finally pulled him off of the caverns bottom. Just in time as an enormous shadow consumed his light and he was plunged into darkness once more, but it wasn't over. He could feel a slight tug from the red crystal, and he knew the creature was just below him undoubtedly following him.

Finally, he saw it, the dull glow of Moon and he chanced a look back. He saw nothing, at least not at first, not until he loosened his grip on the red crystal to allow its glow to illuminate the area. All he saw was a row of needle like teeth as his eyes widened. Looking back up he reached moon and in one swift move drew his Tanto from its place and pulled his body through the tunnel and felt a tremor go through the water. Making his way back up he looked down and saw nothing but black, at least until the beast moved and he realized the black was the pupil.

Quickly making his way up the tunnel he reached the illusion and passed through it as he climbed out of the pool coughing up water he hadn't even realized he swallowed as he collapsed on the ground and gasped in air. Turning to lay on his back he allowed himself a moment of reprieve as he looked up in the sky and his heart rate slowly returned to normal and he deactivated his Sharingan. Taking a deep breath, he took one last look at the pool before walking towards his clothes.

"Naruto, you owe me a fucking drink."

"So this is the dungeon." Ryuzetsu said as her and Naruto passed the entrance of the dungeon and began their descent into the dungeon.

"Yeah, top floors are where you'll find most low ranked adventures and level one and two's."

"What kind of monsters will I find here?" she asked looking up at the Reynard as he shrugged.

"Well, goblins, maybe the odd war shadow, kobolds mostly plus some others. When you start heading lower it will get nastier with things like Orcs and imps, oh and killer ants." he said listing off some of the monster species. Looking down he saw a frightened visage cover Ryuzetsu as they walked.

"How are you still alive?" she asked more out of shock than an actually need of an answer. Naruto just laughed lightly.

"Oh, you'll see, Kurama gave you a Falna right?" Ryuzetsu nodded "then it won't be a problem, you've been training with Kando right?" her face turned sour.

"You mean soon to be monster bait? I guess."

"I am right here!" Kando yelled as he trailed after the two.

"Right… well anyway haven't you noticed something different when you received the Falna?"

"Like what?"

"Enhance endurance maybe, boost to your speed and strength?" he asked and Ryuzetsu thought for a moment before nodding.

"Now that you mention it yeah I have."

"Yeah and I still manage to kick your butt all over the place." Kando muttered but Ryuzetsu heard it and whipped around causing the Carbuncle to jump.

"What was that!?"

"Nothing!" Naruto just laughed at the two and turned his attention to Tachiel who had climbed to his shoulder.

"What is it?" he asked as the Carbuncle pointed forwards with her nose and the group looked up to see a group of kobolds. Naruto grinned and turned to Ryuzetsu.

"Alright your up, show me what you can do." He said as Ryuzetsu looked at him then back towards the monsters before nodding and drawing her Katana. Kando climbed up onto Naruto making it to his shoulder before Tachiel kicked him off.

"Aw c'mon! why do I have to walk everywhere!?" Tachiel just hissed in response.

Ryuzetsu then slowly began to draw closer and closer to the group of Kobolds. There was about five of them and Ryuzetsu felt a nervous knot begin to form in her stomach but quickly shook her head. She was an adventurer now she had to act like one.

Soon the Kobolds caught her scent and turned to face her teeth barred and claws out. One of them came rushing at he and Ryuzetsu widened her stance and raised her sword brining it down just as the Kobold got within reach cleanly cleaving it in the shoulder. That was when a second kobold came in from her left and she quickly withdrew her blade to block its claws sending sparks flying.

Using her feet, she kicked the monster away and was surprised at the force it flew back with. She didn't stay surprised as two more came rushing at her she quickly backed up but found herself pressed against the wall. The two Kobolds leapt into the air as Ryuzetsu lost her footing and wasn't able to position herself in time.

However, the two kobolds never reached her as four bolts of Blue flames came flying past her impacting against each Kobold turning them to ash in an instant. Looking back, she saw Naruto with one of his hands raised with flickers of blue flames dancing around his fingers. She looked down feeling a little ashamed at the fact she couldn't handle what was probably the lowest level of monster in the dungeon. Even when Naruto came in front of her, she didn't look up.

"That was awesome!" he cheered and Ryuzetsu looked up confused.

"B-but I failed!"

"You didn't fail you managed to get one all on your own. You just need to adjust your style a little bit we're in the dungeons now and not every battle ground is going to a spacious arena. Like I told Bell, Keep an eye on your surroundings. More often then not Adventurers will end up getting hurt or even killed because they didn't pay attention to what was around them." He said before reaching down and Ryuzetsu accepted his hand as he pulled her up.

"I didn't expect you to kill all of them you just started out don't expect to be a great warrior just yet, patience is key." He said patting her shoulder.

"How long did it take you to get to where you are now?" she asked as they continued walking.

"Long time and in that time, I made plenty of mistakes, mistakes I learned from. So, don't sweat it." He said with a smile which Ryuzetsu returned. They continued on and Ryuzetsu got a few more kills under her belt and got used to fighting in the corridors of the dungeon as Naruto supported her helping her get out of hairy situation before they got out of hand.

Before either had realized it the day had slipped away and they both began their trek back to the top. It wasn't long before they made it to the top floor and Naruto saw some one that he was actually surprised to see.

"Ottar? What the heck are you doing down here?" he asked seeing the mountain of a man walking down the corridor.

"Sir Naruto." The Boaz greeted with a nod. Ryuzetsu looked between the two and it felt odd.

"Oh come on you don't need to call me sir I still don't get why you call me that." Naruto laughed "What are you doing down here? Its rare for you to be in the dungeon just because."

"I am running an errand for my goddess." Ottar simply answered as Naruto nodded.

"Ah I see. Well good luck with that and tell Freya I said hi."

"She will be most please to hear that Sir Naruto, now if you will excuse me." Naruto nodded as the two passed each other and just for a moment Ryuzetsu could have swore that for a split second the two adventures eyes locked and an image a giant fox stared down a giant boar.

"U-um Naruto who was that?" Ryuzetsu asked once Ottar was out of ear shot.

"That was Ottar the captain of the Freya Familia. He's… an old acquaintance." Naruto said the last part a bit like even he didn't know what they were.

"He sure was intimidating."

"Yeah well he's one of only three adventurers to have reached Level seven."

"L-Level Seven!? Ino told me a bit about that doesn't that make him…"

"One of the most powerful adventurers in Orario then?" she asked and Naruto grinned.

"Oh yeah! He is one of three to have made it to level seven." Ryuzetsu eyes widened looking back at the passage that Ottar had walked down.

"Ottar, Captain of the Freya Familia, the one known as King!" Naruto told her and she couldn't help the feeling that this wouldn't be the last interaction between him and Naruto.

_SCENE_

And cut! That's a wrap! There it is the next update for this chapter and once again if you see any errors don't be afraid to point them out so I can fix them. I hope this chapter lives up to your guy's expectation plus I tried to feature a wider range of my character in the story since it was brought to my attention that maybe I focus on Naruto and Bell a bit too much so let me know how you guys liked the Sasuke segment and that little bit from Tiona and Tione at the beginning.

Also exciting news for me is that I have a P AT RE O N page open so if you guys would like to go and support me at all it would mean the world to me. I will still post chapters for the story as often as I can but on my PA T R EO N page I will be posting Idea's for my own original story! Just type in the mentioned sight Akida_Pendragon to get to my page.

Thanks for reading! This has been your Average, Ordinary, Everyday, Fallen Angel!
