Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
"Okay... This is what he wants to do... so why is he late!?" Issei shouted, rather pissed off with the blond headed asshole that wasn't with the group. They all had to get there, and await Naruto when he wasn't even on time. He already has his Sacred Gear activated, and had his Power Doubled by it, he was ready for battle... kind of since this would be his first real fight.
That surprise attack he launched on Naruto didn't count, since he only got the one hit in... and still got his ass kicked.
"He's just 5 minutes late... it's not that big a deal." Koneko wasn't with Naruto, surprisingly, she was waiting for him with everyone else. She didn't know where he was either, but considering she had gotten used to his Demon Slayer scent... she could tell he was alive. He was still in Kuoh, somewhere close, alive and well. Now that he was stronger, even an untrained youkai like her could smell his scent. "Anyway... you aren't exactly somebody to judge... you can't even fight properly yet." Koneko pointed out to him.
Rias just looked around, making sure they didn't have a surprise attack against them. She knew that there were a total of 4 Fallen Angels around, 1 of which had his corpse found, so there were 3 living ones somewhere. Her information gathering allowed her to know they were Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner... those still alive at least.
"Issei, don't be afraid to run away if you see a Fallen Angel. You can trust Yuuto and Akeno to take care of them." Rias pointed out to him, so that he didn't get hurt too much. She knew he had never been in a real battle, and because of it, he was likely to get really hurt if he fought something supernatural.
It would take an opponent looking down on him to let him win the fight, something that higher level opponents didn't do as often.
"But... I have a Sacred Gear... I'm strong now..."
"A Sacred Gear is powered by heart and willpower, you could say. Right now, your Sacred Gear hasn't even shown it's true form." Rias glanced at the "Twice Critical" he was sporting. She had already figured out what his Sacred Gear really was, and something as simple as a Twice Critical would be far lower cost. "When you can do more than double your power, you'll be strong enough to handle Fallen Angels like these alone... but right now. There is no shame in running to live." Rias comforted him, a hand on top of his head gently.
She didn't want any of her peerage to die tonight.
Akeno wasn't going to die, she was too strong for Fallen Angels of this level to kill her. Yuuto wasn't likely to die either, so long as he didn't get overwhelmed by sheer numbers combined with a Fallen Angel. Koneko was going to be with Naruto, and she was the most durable member of her peerage. The only person who was in danger, for real, was Issei.
"I have an ominous feeling... there is something really foul in the air. It's like Holy power... but twisted... not like Fallen Angel twisted." Akeno admitted that she wasn't feeling good about this. She was a bit of better sensor than Rias and the rest, not counting Koneko and her special nose. She could sense energy better than possibly anyone in the peerage, including Rias herself. "Issei, you might want to stay with me." Akeno pointed out to him.
"10 minutes... should we wait for him, or just do it?" Yuuto looked at his watch, and saw that Naruto was now 10 minutes late.
"You know, if this was a date, I would be fashionably late."
There he was, man of the hour, carrying with him a large backpack.
"You bastard, you're late!" Issei shouted and pointed, two levels of rude, as Naruto opened his backpack and showed clothes were inside of it. He tossed each of them, except Koneko, different clothes. "What are these?" Issei asked with a furrowed brow.
They were carbon copies of their school uniforms, exact copies right now to their measurements. No, actually, they were thicker than their uniforms, a layer thicker. Looking at the uniforms, everyone could see that the inside of the clothes were pitch black. Like something had been sewn to the inside of the clothes.
"Get changed already, I went through the trouble of visiting all of your homes, getting your uniforms, and then having them modified." Naruto had picked the locks to Rias, Akeno, and Yuuto's apartment rooms, and he had lied to Issei's parents that he was friends with Issei. "It cost almost 780,000 yen to have these protections added to your clothes... now go into the bushes and get changed." Naruto stated to all of them.
Only Koneko was bullet-proof.
He wasn't going to let his temporary allies die because they followed him into battle, so he was going to offer them all the same protections he himself had. He had cost his company, while small to the company, a good chunk of money to have these quickly modified.
"None for me?" Koneko asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What did you do to our clothes?" Yuuto questioned as he felt the inside of the jacket, and stripped down to his underwear. He started to change into the clothes he was given, and the fabric on the inside of his clothes felt more... sturdy than normal clothes. "Fabric doesn't really do much you know." Yuuto pointed out to him.
"It won't protect you against swords and magic, but it will protect you against bullets. Here, I got headbands for everyone too." Naruto tossed them each a headband that was almost like his own... but they were red with a black spiral on it, instead of his black headband with a red spiral. "They're bullet proof, and since these guns use Holy bullets... one well aimed shot could kill any of you." Naruto knew of their weaknesses after looking them up.
Even Rias, who was so much stronger than a human, could be put down for good if she was shot in the heart by a Holy bullet.
Koneko covered Issei's eyes while Akeno and Rias were changing.
"You even did our bras and panties, huh... not my sexy panties..." Akeno frowned when she saw that Naruto had made her most boring pair bullet proof. While a bullet proof thong didn't offer a bunch of protection, she wanted to go into battle in her battle panties. "... It's very soft though..." Akeno marveled at a fabric that was bullet proof, but apparently able to stay as soft as silk.
"It's a Dragon Silk, Iron Wire fabric... and since boobs are mostly fat, it would hurt a lot if you got shot in the tit. So I had those padded with extra protection." Naruto explained while rubbing his nose, a small blush on his face. He looked away from Akeno and Rias as they changed, purely out of respect for them. They didn't even bother changing in the bushes, they just stripped naked.
"I wanna see!"
"You're not popping one here..." Koneko uncovered Issei's eyes the second that Rias and Akeno were not changing. She was still annoyed that Naruto didn't see fit to give her new clothes, though he gave them to Rias and Akeno. "Still... why them?" Koneko asked Naruto, once Issei started to get changed, after everyone else.
Akeno, Rias, and Yuuto were finishing tying their headbands, since it was the only protection against head shots they could get at the moment.
"I'm going to go get into position. Thanks for the uniform." Yuuto summoned two swords, getting a raised eyebrow from Naruto, before he ran off to go and patrol the area he would be guarding. He was gone in a second, leaving Issei as the only male Devil in the group.
Akeno winked at Naruto.
"Be sure to save some for me... I hope that whoever I run into, likes pain like I do." Akeno's face became super sadistic as she summoned her wings, and flew away towards where she was going to be guarding. Naruto shivered when he saw that change in her eyes, and he looked at Rias, pointing at Akeno as she was disappearing in the night's sky.
Rias sighed.
"She's in total Sadist mode... she's the most sadistic girl I know." Rias admitted to Naruto shamelessly.
Her Queen was super kind to their allies... but a real bitch to her enemies, which made it good that this mode only ever really came out at times like this. She would hate to be on the receiving end of that split personality. Akeno was second in her peerage, only to herself, in raw attack power.
"So... I'll just be going now-"
"We're in enemy territory now, so promote to a Knight to get a boost in speed. Your body isn't capable of handling the promotion to Queen just yet." Rias reminded Issei of his only Pawn ability. As he was, he was without a doubt the weakest member of her peerage.
"... Promotion: Knight!"
With that, Issei ran off, while Naruto watched him go with a smirk. He was glad to have Issei gone, and shortly after that, Rias summoned her own wings. She looked down at Naruto, flying a few feet into the air. She looked down at him, before she smiled at him.
"I'm off, you keep each other safe, okay?" Rias made only that request.
She wanted both of them to stay safe, she valued Naruto as a friend, and Koneko was family to her. They were her important people, it would break her heart if either of them met with an unfortunate end.
"I'll keep the Shrimp-" Naruto was kicked in the ass for that, with Koneko giving him a dirty look. "... we've got each other's backs." Naruto sent Koneko a return glare. With that said, Rias flew off to guard the area that she was going to be watching.
...
"Nervous?" Koneko asked him with a smirk, the two of them turning to walk together towards the front doors of the church. She could see it in his eyes, her answer, and she smirked wider when she saw he lacked any of the doubt that Issei felt towards this. '... That perv should learn a thing or two, instead of being jealous... then maybe he would be tolerable.' Koneko wasn't fond of the new peerage member.
She kind of wished that Naruto was in the peerage now, but sadly, she knew Naruto would never go for it. Funny, at first she was the one who was most against Naruto being her peerage-mate.
"I want you to tell me more about yourself when this is over... we're rivals, and I want to know how you got to where you are... from your mouth." Naruto told her, ignoring her teasing. Before he could get her to make up with Kuroka, he wanted to hear what she thought of the events that led up to all of this. "... I want to know the real Koneko." Naruto urged her for an answer.
Koneko's mouth tightened.
That was a big request, but...
"Shizuku told you what I was... didn't she...?" Koneko asked him with a deep frown. She should have known, Shizuku had made it quite apparent that she was aware of her heritage from the get-go. It was only a matter of time before Naruto learned of her Nekoshou blood, and questioned her about it. The fact that Shizuku told Naruto her secret, without even asking her about it, pissed her off. It was her secret to not tell anyone, and she had no plans to tell either.
She looked at Naruto, to see if he was judging her, and she felt relieved when she just saw him look at her the same way he always did. So, he felt absolutely nothing negative towards her for her heritage.
Then again... he didn't know who she was related to... what her blood could do.
"I just want to hear your story, your version of it... if you don't want to tell me-"
"I'll tell you." Koneko stated with a frown, a sad frown, when she realized that she couldn't leave Naruto with only Shizuku's information. He knew, and he deserved to know the truth. "... but when I feel ready." Koneko added afterwards, since she wasn't ready to tell him yet.
He just nodded.
-Inside the Church-
"We're surrounded... just a mere 5 Devils? Feh, and only a single one is actually coming to fight." Raynare spoke as she sat on a bench. She had 8 of her men surrounding her, and her strongest Exorcist was playing with his gun next to the large cross. "Freed... you're free to slaughter all you want. Just finish off the one coming here first." Raynare pointed to her white haired ally. She grinned when he just gave a loud laugh.
It was a good thing that Freed didn't know he was stronger than she was, or she had little doubt he would reverse their roles in a heartbeat. Thankfully, she was very good at gathering followers who believed she was stronger than them. The best part, they all died before they ever realized she was lying about her power to them. Once she had the Twilight Healing though, she wouldn't be lying anymore.
Did they really think they could send one person into the Church after them... and it was the one that had the least demon energy of the group. They were sending a weakling in after them.
It was hilarious.
"This is why I follow you, you let me slice up Devil scum and Devil loving scum." Freed licked the side of his gun, a wide, perverse smile on his face. "If it's a female Devil..."
"You can rape her." Raynare didn't have a problem with that either. It wasn't like it was a fellow Fallen Angel, or somebody important to her plans. If it was just devil scum, then she would let Freed do whatever he wanted. She already let him go into the city and kill anyone who made contracts with Devils. His blood lust made him such an easy pawn for her plans. "... You all can rape her." Raynare spoke to all of the men around her.
None of them seemed like they wanted to, they didn't even really seem interested in the prospect of raping. They wanted to kill Devils, but unlike Freed, they weren't interested in rape, pseudo-rape, or torturing their enemies. Just kill, so they would kill the woman or whatever came through those front doors.
*Knock knock knock*
"... Well, that is polite-"
The door was kicked off of it's hinges as the door went sailing across the room, and slammed into the man that had made that comment. Koneko stood in front of the door, her leg extended. Naruto on the other hand, had his fist raising up, showing he had knocked on the door.
"Koneko... this is still a Church... show some respect." Naruto deadpanned to the girl, since he was of this faith. This wasn't like going to school, where he was happy to kick in doors. He put his hands together, and offered a short prayer, for what he was about to do. "So... which one of you is the leader?" Naruto asked as he looked around.
Was it the white haired guy that was licking a gun and sword handle... or the woman who was dressed like a free-use slut, smirking with a little bit of surprise.
"A human... you don't have a Sacred Gear... no wonder I didn't sense you. I'm the leader-"
"Wow... I was expecting somebody pretty... you know, since Fallen Angels are suppose to turn men to sin. I wasn't expecting somebody so..." Naruto spoke with a growing grin on his face, his eyes narrowing. The girl seemed so full of herself, that he was going to have to chose this next word very carefully... just to piss her off to the highest level possible. "Average."
Average.
"... Freed, make him watch as you rape the girl in front of him." Raynare's playful tone was over with instantly. Her wings spread out as she took to the air, and soared over to the stain glass window, sitting on the edge. Her eyes were as cold as possible, she could see that he was standing in front of the girl a little.
Koneko snorted, and raised her fists up.
Naruto screwed his own face up, and pushed his lips out so that he was making a chicken face.
"Freed, make him watch as you rape the girl in front of him. That's how you sound you chicken-tender." Naruto pointed up at her, making a convincing girl voice, but still mocking her as he returned to normal.
Freed laughed.
"You're fun, I like you... too bad I'm going to fuck your shitty devil girlfriend. Then I guess kill you first... just cause I like you." Freed summoned his sword of light. Naruto looked at it, because Freed had a sword in one hand, and a gun in the other. Naruto took a white cloth out of his pocket, and wrapped it around his wrists and fist.
Koneko just put her boxing gloves on, as the other 7 men got up, some with swords, and the others with guns.
"I'm right here you know."
"You know, you were pretty close to 'ya know' there... that is my thing... and Shizuku's thing." Naruto pointed out as a bullet hit him right in the forehead. His head jerked back, with some steam coming off the front of his headband. One of the rogue priests had fired at him.
"Killed him-"
"... I'm not sorry Koneko was rude." Naruto turned his head back down with a pissed expression. "Koneko-" Naruto saw Koneko grab an entire bench, and lift it up to use as a large club.
Okay, nevermind.
"You take the freak." She told him as she swung her club at the closest man to her, and he jumped back, shooting her in the arm, ripping her clothes. She continued to swing at anyone who tried to get close to her.
Naruto ran across the room, and he slapped the side of the sword away from him, without touching the edge of it. Freed reacted quickly though... inhumanly quick and aimed a gun right at his exposed torso, his jacket was open. Naruto saw he was about to put the trigger, and raised his forearm blocked the barrel of the gun just as the bullet came out as hit his arm.
"Heh!" Freed actually let out a laugh as he switched his grip on the sword, and used a quick back-swing at Naruto. Naruto grabbed Freed by the collar, and threw him over his shoulder, stopping his slash and slamming him onto his back. "You're fast... I like that... you're like me, a human that's better than these Devil bastards." Freed stabbed his sword into the ground, and used it to jump back to his feet, ripping the sword out of the ground and swinging it at Naruto again.
He side stepped to the left to dodge it, and threw a punch at Freed, who could see that it was better to dodge it.
The first one to land a hit, was going to deal a fatal blow.
Koneko was having a different fight.
"Keh..." Koneko slammed her bench into a man, knocking him into the wall, cracking the wall and no doubt breaking every bone in his body. She shattered the bench she was holding on him though. She jumped back when she saw out of the corner of her eye, a sword of light swinging at her. Unlike with the bullets, her Rook skin wouldn't give her the ability to not get cut. She dodged it by the skin of her teeth. "... My clothes..." Koneko didn't bother covering her exposed bra, since there was a large gash taking out.
Her bra and half her stomach were now exposed.
"That's why I didn't give you the clothes, they're too expensive to ruin!"
"Die pervert!" Koneko punched the man who exposed her body in the face, sending him flying through the air, right out the now broken window. She winced when she heard the bang of a gun, and then felt herself get shot in the knee a couple of takings. She was starting to get surrounded by the... now 5 men surrounding her. The ones with guns had realized that guns weren't very useful, and switched to swords. "Make sword proof clothes!" Koneko called out to Naruto as she ducked under a sword slash... and side stepped another one.
She was getting pushed into a corner, so she grabbed a bench and practically splintered the wood with her grip. She swung it with one hand, clearing herself some room to move as the men jumped away from her.
Koneko winced when she felt the light burn her body, as a small cut was made on her. This cut went through her uniform, cutting the lower section of her top off, and giving her a shallow wound on the stomach.
A yo-yo wrapped around the man who cut her, and she saw Naruto with his hand extended, still dodging Freed. He ripped the man who cut her off of his feet, and Koneko rushed through the gap in her opponents. On her way out, she jumped and slammed her arm into a man's neck, knocking him off of his feet and onto the ground hard enough to knock him out.
Koneko saw that while Naruto saved her, he was giving Freed a free shot, so she grabbed another bench and flung it across the room. Freed was forced to cut the bench in half, and get away from Naruto. Naruto caught his yo-yo when it came back, and grabbed onto the split bench, swinging one half of it, and throwing it at Freed.
"You two are outnumbered and outmatched, these are the best of my exorcists... those ones you sent to the hospital were just-"
"Shut up would you, you're not down here fighting, you don't get to talk!" Naruto called out to Raynare as he rushed under the airborn bench, and caught Freed by surprise. Putting his hands on the ground, he kicked Freed's feet out from under him, and gave a small hop so that he was on Freed's stomach, stunning him with the landing.
"I'm not interested in boy's love, so get off." Freed deactivated his sword, put it against his own chest, and reactivated it so that the blade nearly pierced Naruto's heart if he didn't jump off. "But, to be honest, I'm totally flattered by you mounting me... you must be a top... I'm a top too... if I were gay at least." Freed pushed off the ground.
This was a battle of skill, not power.
The first person to land a clean blow, would be the winner of this fight. Would Naruto's fist him him, or would he land the fatal slash/bullet that put Naruto down.
'They have longer reach than me...' Koneko winced took a step back, dodging a slash by the skin of her teeth. She groaned, pissed off, when her shirt was completely split down the middle. Not even bothering with covering her now fully exposed breasts, she just put her all into fighting. She had four enemies left, so she was going to hit them extra hard for seeing her boobs. "Perverts, all of you... die." Koneko stepped forward when the sword passed all the way down her body, and she sunk her blow deep into the man's sternum.
She felt herself break his ribs as she sent him flying over the benches, and into the wall across the room. Now she only had three enemies left, but she could feel the light energy in her body slowing her down a little.
"Trade!"
She ran towards Freed, and Naruto ran towards the group she was fighting, him jumping over her towards the men. He landed on the ground, with a far longer reach then her, and kicked the closest man. When he tried to block the kick with his sword, he couldn't muster the strength to do it. Naruto's foot met with his face, and he was shoved into the wall... into it, not against it. Naruto grabbed the sword from the air, and used it to block two sword strikes.
"You're better than school girls..." Naruto started to trade sword blows with the man, using the experience he gained from fighting the kendo club. Went off against both men, flipping the sword in his hand as he swung it, so that he could switch between offense and defense more quickly.
"Guns work on this one, we just have to aim for skin!"
They used their free hands to draw their guns, but the action alone gave Naruto the chance he needed. He deactivated the sword he was holding, and slammed his forehead into one man's face. He jumped off his feet, and felt a crunch when his knee hit the next man's nose.
Raynare started to sweat a little, and she formed a spear of pink light in her hand, gripping it tightly.
"You know, now that I look at you... I don't really feel like fucking you. You're way too... shrimpy." Freed looked at Koneko's chest, and her general small size. There wasn't much there he could cut, and she just wasn't his type. He might as well kill her as quickly as possible. She ducked a sword swipe, and did a front roll on the ground, going between his legs. Reaching up, she grabbed his belt and slammed him onto his back.
She was pissed.
She felt a foot on her back, and Naruto used her as a spring board to jump, before she could land the finishing blow on Freed for his comment, she heard Naruto's angry shout.
"Don't you call her a Shrimp!"
Naruto landed on Freed's stomach with both of his knees, forcing the man to drop both of his weapons as his body tried to curl up on itself. Naruto raised his fist up, and dropped it onto Freed's mouth. He shattered 4 of the man's teeth, and no doubt broke his jaw. Both of his lips were split, and his nose broken to the side, bleeding heavily.
He wasn't knocked out, but his hands went to his face, covering it and groaning in pain. Naruto got off of him, and kicked his weapons away from him.
"... What?" Koneko asked him in confusion.
"You're my rival... I'm the only one who can make fun of the stuff you're insecure about." Naruto only said that stuff at this point, because the two of them knew they didn't mean it. Yeah, he mocked her for being flat chested... but she knew he was doing it in good fun. She would punch him and stuff, but nothing they did was done out of malice. "Anyway..." Naruto raised his foot up, and slammed it down on Freed's crotch.
Koneko just gave a small smile, happy to see that happen.
"Well now, you two aren't bad... you're very talented. I might have judged you far too soon. You don't have to ally yourself with Devils you know." Raynare stayed in the air as she spoke down to Naruto. She had already wiped the sweat from her forehead before speaking. She gave her most pleasant smile, and used her most seductive tone. "You know... I wouldn't mind fucking a real man like you... what do you say champ?" Raynare floated a little lower in the sky.
Koneko looked at Naruto.
She saw a vein bulging on his forehead, he was pissed off more than she had ever seen him before. This wasn't like when she mocked his dick, this was genuine fury that he was feeling.
"You told this fuck-" Naruto stomped on Freed's dick again, and glared up at her for good measure. "-to rape. Even if Koneko wasn't my friend, but the fact alone you ordered that... I would never ally myself with... you're not average... you're sub-human." Naruto spat on the ground underneath Raynare's feet.
He was so angry, words weren't even forming properly.
"Naruto, it's fine... calm down." Koneko put on his sleeve, since the fight wasn't over yet.
"No, this bitch tried to sacrifice somebody as pure as Asia... and ordered a person raped and killed... she's not even brave enough to come down here and face me. If you really wanted me on your side, you would have come down here to make a deal... you're afraid." Naruto read her like a book, and Raynare was taken back when she realized that he had noticed that. She grit her teeth, and created a second spear of light.
She threw the first one down at them, and she would have hit Koneko if the girl didn't dodge the dangerous weapon. It faded from existence when it hit the ground, before it could be used against her.
"I have 200 comrades on their way right now, I have no reason to be afraid of you! You can't fight 200 Fallen Angels, even if you wanted to! You want to survive, you join me and I'll let you live!" Raynare threw her second spear at Naruto. Unlike Koneko, he didn't dodge it.
He caught it, with the tip being inches from his face, his hand was bleeding from the act though. He stared at the tip, before up at Raynare.
"I'm not a Devil... I have no fear of your spears. Why don't you come down here... or not..." Naruto started to float up into the air. Koneko summoned her wings, and flapped them to join Naruto and Raynare up in the air.
Raynare was soon staring eye to eye with Naruto.
"What... humans... they can't."
"I'm not just a human, I'm a Demon Slayer." Naruto hissed as her spear vanished from his hand. She turned and started to fly towards the broken window, but she was stopped when he threw his yo-yo at her and caught her by the ankle. Pulling on it, she was pulled from the air and slammed into the ground. Naruto flew at her, before he dropped out of the air and landed on her back. "... and you're not getting out of here without my foot up your ass." Naruto pushed his foot against the crack of her ass.
"AH!"
"Dude... nobody ever follows through with that threat. You actually shoved your foot up her ass." Koneko was a little impressed, now covering her breasts since her fight was pretty much over. The bleeding was already starting to slow down from her light cuts, she would be fine when Rias healed her. Sore from the light energy in her body, but otherwise, she would be fine.
Naruto grabbed Raynare by the wings, before he started to pull up on them, straining from the physical effort it was taking to rip them off.
"No, stop, don't pull my wings off... I'll give you anything! I promise... AH... women, money, power... Sacred Gears! That's right... that girl, her Sacred Gear... I'll take it from her and give it to you!" Raynare pleaded, realizing that unlike her exorcists, this boy knew he was stronger. He knew that she wasn't able to defend herself anymore, and that now that she was on the ground, she was helpless under his grasp.
*Crunch*
Naruto broke the bones in her wings, instead of ripping them off, he ended up just shattering the bones keeping them on her back. She had tears flowing out of her eyes, while Naruto stood up from her and shoved his foot harder against her ass.
"Get out... leave Kuoh, and never return. If I ever see you in my territory again, the wings will come off." Naruto kicked her onto her back. Raynare was forced to crawl back to her feet, limping towards the exit. She glared back at Naruto, hateful, tear filled eyes as her wings hung limp. Trailing the ground behind her, unable to respond to her own commands anymore.
"You should kill her."
"No... it's a worse punishment to make her live with it. Killing her would be too merciful... did you hear that... go... go and live in shame. Knowing that a human beat you... know that no matter what you do, you will never forget this shame. I beat you, we beat your men... your wings were broken, and I shoved my foot in her ass. You are only alive because I let you live." Naruto knew Raynare could hear him as she limped away. He growled every word at her, talking with her was bringing back all of the anger from earlier.
She was trembling with fear and rage, going towards the front of the church... before 4 figures came into the church.
"Well now, I don't think that is very wise... I agree with Koneko... I think that you should kill her." Rias spoke with a smirk, leaning up against the door of the church. She had heard everything Naruto said, and she had to admit, his punishment was very fitting.
Raynare stopped walking, her eyes widened.
Rage was gone... now she was only afraid.
"I'll never come back... if you kill me... my army will-"
"Oh, right... your 200 Fallen Angels... I don't think they will be coming. But... their screams were delicious... I wouldn't count on Mittelt or Kalawarner helping you." Akeno spoke as she raised his hands, and showed that she was holding two feathers, with different shades of blood. They were both slightly electrified, giving off a burnt smell to them.
Yes, those two had tried to come and help Raynare, and the color drained from Raynare's face when she realized... she had no help.
"Yuuma..."
"Issei... you can't let them kill me! You've got to help me, I love-"
"Issei, you listen to her, and I'll shove my foot up your perverted ass so far that you'll learn what her ass tastes like!" Naruto shouted at Issei in a threatening way. He could see that he was wavering from what she was saying. Raynare flinched when she heard his shout, but she looked hopefully at Issei. "... she tried to have Koneko raped... you're a pervert... but what do you think about that?" Naruto asked with a deep frown.
Issei looked shocked.
"But... that kind of stuff is only hot in Doujin and Hentai RPGs where you can see sex scenes by losing... you can't do that in real... she..." Issei looked down at Raynare in shock. She was the one who killed him, but he didn't know that she was capable of that.
Rias' face hardened more than anyone else's face.
She summoned a black magic in her hands.
"Rias, I said let her live!" Naruto shouted at Rias, and the girl frowned deeply. "She is going to live. Raynare, I have men all over Japan... if you are ever seen again, I'll know... so you better think about today! Know, that I'll come after you myself!" Naruto shouted out his threat.
Rias never dropped her magic for a second.
"You threatened to hurt my cute little servant... Naruto, I'm killing her." Rias stated as she created a large enough force of magic, and pointed it at the pitiful Raynare. The woman had dropped to her knees, and actually had her hands together in prayer. "God won't listen to the prayers of a Devil or Fallen Angel... nobody is going to save you." Rias stated coldly. "But since you were once an Angel, I'll give you this honor... from ashes to ashes..." Rias spoke as she finished charging up her magical attack.
She would erase Raynare's body from existence with this attack.
"Do... can't she live... if she promises." Issei went up to Rias, and tried to reason with her.
Naruto walked up to Rias, and he stood between her and Raynare.
"I'm telling you Rias, if you kill her, she won't face retribution for her actions. She'll never pay for the crimes she committed." Naruto didn't care about Issei's attachment to Raynare. He wanted her to live in shame, knowing that she lost to a human, had her wings broken, and was insulted so badly.
An eternity in shame was worse than a quick death.
"She threatened Koneko." Rias stated, dropping her magic, glaring down at Rayanre.
She just wanted Raynare dead.
Rias and Naruto stared each other down, she liked his advice and valued his opinions as her friend... but right now, he was going against something she truly wanted to do. She wanted to punish Raynare too, but she wanted the punishment to be death. She wasn't going to back down from this, not in the slightest. Raynare needed to die for her crimes.
Neither backed down.
"... Can't you do both?" Yuuto pointed out. "Can't you kill her, and then make her live out the rest of her second life... in shame." Yuuto pointed out, since that was the only way he could think to satisfy both parties. "... you know... as a slave. I know as a Gremory, you want to treat your peerage like family..." Yuuto gestured to Raynare.
"No! I would rather die... let me-"
"Good idea." Naruto looked at Raynare, realizing that she was so hateful towards this one idea. She was afraid of death, and she would hate living in shame... but only this was something she would rather die than do. "Koneko, what do you want?" Naruto asked the person who Raynare threatened.
Koneko walked up to Raynare.
"Freed! I will not become a Devil!" Raynare made the choice herself, and shouted out. Freed, still awake and with a gun in hand, took aim at Raynare and pulled the trigger. Raynare didn't get the sweet release of death though, because Naruto stepped between her and the bullet just as the gun with off. It hit him in the protected back. "... Uh... I... Can I live in shame... please... I'll never cause trouble again." Raynare saw Freed jump out of the window, and begin running away as fast as he could.
The traitor!
How dare he not be willing to die for her, when she let him do so much stuff that he wanted to do. She let him kill so many people, and this was how he repaid her!?
"... Just kill her... we can't trust her... Naruto... she needs to die." Koneko settled the matter, siding with Rias on this. She didn't trust Raynare, or want her in the peerage. "Sometimes, an enemy just needs to be killed." Koneko said as Rias charged up her magic again when she saw Naruto take a deep breath.
He stepped aside.
Raynare was evaporated a second later.
"... dust to dust. Don't hate me for that Naruto, but in the supernatural world... it's kill or be killed. We can't risk her getting powerful allies, and coming back. I admire your desire to punish instead of kill. Also... Issei... are you okay?" Rias realized that Issei had frustrated tears in his eyes. She didn't want her knew Pawn to hate her for what she did, but she had little choice in the matter.
This was the safest route.
Naruto took a breath.
"... Fine... I'm going to home." Naruto went past everyone with a sour look on his face.
"We're still friends?" Rias made sure, she needed to make sure, because she didn't like that look on Naruto's face. She wasn't sure if Naruto was still going to be able to call her that after what they just went through. "... Friends don't always have to agree... right?" Rias asked, grabbing onto his sleeve as he passed by her.
Naruto looked at her.
"... Sure... I'm going after Freed, he's alone, so I don't need help." Naruto stated as he walked out of the building. He walked in the direction that Freed had been running when he jumped from the window. So he was pretty sure that if he followed any blood trails on the ground, he would find Freed eventually.
Koneko followed after him.
"I'll come too."
Naruto took his jacket off, and put it over her body, since she was still overexposed.
"I'm fine, you just go get changed... Issei was too distracted by Raynare to notice your tits. It's just Freed, I'll be fine." Naruto could see her few injuries, and knew that Freed still had both his sword and gun. He was more dangerous now, that he was so injured and likely to lash out in anger.
Koneko's cheeks turned a tiny bit red.
"Thanks." Koneko stated simply as she pulled it around herself tightly. He was right, Issei wouldn't be mourning his first girlfriend forever. He was bound to notice her state of undress eventually. She saw Naruto float up in the air, using his new flight abilities, before he went flying up and after the direction Freed went in.
-With Freed-
"Damn... Devil bastards... breaking my teeth... I'll get better weapons, and then I'll come back and kill them." Freed covered his bleeding mouth with one hand. He was in a lot of pain all over, but he was alive, and he could get revenge so long as he was alive. "Something smells like burning corpse..." Freed could smell, over the scent of his own blood, the smell of burnt corpses.
Right, that sexy black haired girl killed Kalawarner and Mittelt, so she must have killed them around this spot.
Fine by him, the smell of their corpses would hide his scent.
"Two Fallen Angel corpses... though their a bit charred for my liking. I can see that their bodies are still... salvageable." Freed stopped behind a tree and pulled his gun out, when he heard the sound of a young-sounding boy. He glanced out from behind the tree, and saw black and red.
It was a skinny, red haired boy with a blank face. He was wearing a slim black business suit, with red clouds all over the bottom of the jacket. He was bent down, examining the corpses, though their bodies suffered from terrible electrical burns.
"I can get him in one shot..." Freed whispered as he took aim at the back of his head.
"Hmmmm... but some parts are just too damaged. The skin is in terrible shape... I guess I'll have to just take their usable parts. They will make a good puppet. Just so you know, aiming a gun at my head won't amount to anything." The boy spoke, making it fully apparent he was aware Freed was there. Freed shot his gun, and he watched with a grin as he shattered the boy's head.
...
Shattered was not what a human head should do, it should go splat... but the inside of the boy's head was empty. His head looked like it was made of wood, and he stood up like it was normal. His head spun around in an inhuman way, with a single brown eye staring at Freed.
"... The fuck are you?" Freed asked, before the boy looked up.
"So, the Tamamo no Mae is coming this way. I better prepare for that then... but first you aren't needed anymore." The boy spoke as his hand popped open, and he shot a spout of flames at Freed, setting his face on fire, and the rest of him moments later. He let loose a loud scream, blood curdling screams, as he dropped to the grass and tried to put himself out. "... it would be wise to allow yourself to burn, as a rogue priest, you won't find any help if you live." The boy saw Freed put himself off, his flesh blackened in places.
He started to crawl away.
The boy shrugged his shoulders, and all of the shattered pieces of his head lifted off the ground and started to go back to his head. They repaired themselves, as if he was never destroyed.
"Aaaaaah..."
"Go on, scream, it will just bring Tamamo no Mae here." The boy remained calm, impassive, unaffected by the suffering he easily caused. "You're suffering will attract it. I've got a job to do." The boy fixed his right sleeve, and he could feel a breeze start to form in the area.
It was here.
"I'm not letting you get away... the fuck are you?" Naruto asked as he landed in the area, looking at the charred corpses of the Fallen Angels, and seeing Freed trying to crawl away. Strangely enough, the boy didn't seem like he was upset over any of the deaths. "Did you do that to Freed?" Naruto asked as he looked at the whimpering man.
Fire was one of the worst ways to die.
"I told him it would be better if he died. His suffering is because he decided to live. You're name is... Uzumaki Naruto correct? Blond hair, blue eyes, whisker marks... delinquent... yes, it seems this is you. I'm Sasori... and you're my target." Sasori introduced himself, not to be polite or anything. He lowered his arms, and a knife came out of his sleeve, landing in his hand.
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Target... I have no clue who you are... you with these people or not?" Naruto asked, before Sasori rushed into action, crossing the distance between them and slashing at him. Naruto used his yo-yo to block the knife quickly, knocking it away with relative ease.
A second knife.
Naruto felt a small cut against his forearm as Sasori pulled out a second knife and gave a quick, small slice. Naruto kicked Sasori away with force, knocking him into the nearest tree. His head twisted all the way around, before his mouth opened and a small barrel came from it. A high pressured stream of water shot out of his mouth, and sliced through the trees behind Naruto like they were paper, thankfully he was able to dodge it in time.
"Water, when pressurize, can cut through nearly anything. Be it human flesh, iron, or the scales of a dragon. Water and fire, two elements that are often thought dangerous, but still underestimated." Sasori opened up his hand, and started to spew flames at Naruto, forcing him to rush around and dodge the super heated flames. The trees all around weren't luck though, as they all caught fire.
Naruto was just confused.
"The hell are you!?" Naruto tried to close the distance between them, before Sasori's suit ripped open, and his belly was exposed... with blades coming out of it. Naruto stopped his own attack, before he ended up shoving his fist into the blades. "You're a robot!?" Naruto dodged the flames again, before he rolled across the ground when the water sprayed once more.
Real people didn't gave flamethrowers for wrists, water spouts for mouths, and chainsaws for stomachs.
"I prefer puppet, though I was once human... my Sacred Gear allowed me to transform myself with time and effort. The longer we fight, the more the fire spreads... you might want to think about trying harder." Sasori showed a small smile, and Naruto frowned deeply.
His opponent was a puppet?
"Then this fire is really dangerous for you to... puppets burn." Naruto sent a breeze at Sasori, carrying embers across the wind with it. He smirked when Sasori made the effort to dodge the flames himself. "Isn't it a bad idea to use fire, when your body is flammable?" Naruto mocked Sasori right back.
Sasori nodded his head.
"Isn't it bad to move around, when you've got poison in your body? You'll only speed up the poison."
Naruto was confused, before he felt weak... really weak. He collapsed to his knees, before falling flat on his face. Groaning in pain, the weakness was soon completely forgotten, when he could only feel a deep, agonizing pain spread through out his entire body. Naruto looked around himself, before he saw the cut on his forearm.
"The knife... isn't it bad to tell... the opponent... what you did to them?" Naruto asked as he, through sheer force of will, got back to his feet and raised his fists back up. "I'll beat your ass, and then... beat this poison's ass... but first your ass... then the poison... then you..." Naruto felt his vision start to go hazy... words were getting harder to form. His hand went to his face, before he shook his head.
"Hmmmm... interesting... that poison should have killed you seconds after you collapsed. I guess, despite the power in your veins... you aren't a true youkai. A slow and agonizing death it is then." Sasori turned around and started to walk away. Naruto wasn't in any shape to fight, but with the trees around him all burning, he would get crushed or burned to death long before the poison killed him... if he was as resistant to it as he seemed at least. "I actually hope you survive... but if you do, I'm sure another assassin will be after you. I'll start creating a new poison, just in case." Sasori, with that, was done.
He would go and report this back to his boss, hopefully, he would get a second chance at this so that he could test a new poison. He had never seen a person last against one of his poisons, and try to fight through it.
Sasori was punched in the back of the head.
"You're... not going anywhere... I'm kicking your ass right here." Naruto still had both fists raised up in the air. "You attacked me... you don't get to walk away... just because I'm poisoned... or did you lose your manhood when you replaced your body... little bitch..." Naruto grinned as he insulted his assassin.
Sasori just appreciated the gesture, that was all.
"That poison neutralizes a youkai's power... even the power resting inside of you won't save you. Though, I guess Demon Slayer powers aren't the same. Very well, if you want to die quickly, I'll grant it." Sasori pulled out two more knifes. He looked right into Naruto's grinning face, before he tried to lift his arms.
Tried.
He couldn't move his arms, not an inch, he looked down and saw that he was trapped by a... yo-yo. He saw it attached to Naruto's hand, so he opened his mouth, and fired a beam of water at Naruto. A small tornado of wind changed the direction that the beam was firing.
"I told you... I'm kicking your ass... and this poison too. Fuck... you're not even the real you... fuck..." Naruto watched as the puppet started to fall apart. Naruto pulled his yo-yo back to his hand, before he looked over, and saw Freed was gone too. "Fuck... and he got away... not my day... I better..." Naruto started to float with trouble.
Flying was useful... when his legs didn't want to work.
-Naruto's House-
"Asia, got to sleep... Naruto will be back home, grinning like an idiot ya know." Shizuku pointed out as she watched TV with Asia and Serafall, Kuroka in cat form, looking very worried. Kuroka and Asia were the only ones worried, Serafall was just happily watching TV.
"But... he went to fight... for my sake... what if he gets hurt and I'm not there-"
"Naru-tan is awesome, he even stood up to me! He'll be fine!" Serafall shouted out with a wide grin.
She wasn't worried in the slightest.
"Anyway, we both have healing powers... he'll be fine ya know." Shizuku could save Naruto from most injuries, provided they weren't instantly fatal. Her healing abilities could take care of that much, with Asia with them, she was sure that Naruto would be fine with their combined healing. Not that he would need it, she could smell his Demon Slayer scent still active.
'... but his scent... smells weird...' Kuroka thought with her eyes never once leaving the window. She was watching for any sign of his return, something felt... wrong. Yes, Naruto was getting closer to them so he was alive... his Demon Slayer scent being active meant he wasn't dead. It was off though, he smelled... not good to her.
"See... even Kurok... Kuroneko-" Asia realized that she was suppose to call Kuroka, Kuroneko when she was in cat form, and changed what she said. "... she looks worried too. Aren't cats... really aware of that stuff...?" Asia looked around, not good at lying... but she knew she had to do it to protect Kuroka.
Serafall thought about it.
"Well... they say pets can sense when their owners are in danger... but he's Naru-tan... if I wasn't after my So-tan, I would go for him, he's like... super hardy." Serafall gave the best explanation she could. Naruto seemed like the type of guy, that even if you killed him, he wouldn't die.
Kuroka sighed in relief when she saw blond in the sky, float down towards the front door.
He was back home.
He would open the door any second now... once he landed... on his face and stopped moving he would... instantly, Kuroka rushed towards the front door.
"Fuck it!"
She turned back to human form, and opened the front door. She didn't give two shits if Serafall was in the same room with her. She saw Naruto collapsed on the front step of the door.
"You're Kuro... Naru-tan!"
Serafall joined her in helping Naruto, both of them wrapping an arm around their shoulders. They both pulled him into the house, with Shizuku and Asia quickly realizing that he was ghostly pale. Shizuku actually felt bad, when she saw that Naruto was grinning like an idiot.
"Heeeeeeey... I'm full of poison... I'm dying... help..."
He was ghostly pale, which was really bad considering his skin was like touching ice. Shizuku stuck her tongue out, and started to lick at every wound on his body. When she got to his forearm, she withdrew her tongue with a hiss. She could taste poison, but it was poison that had a sacred quality to it. No doubt, it was something along the lines of a virgin maiden's tears, blessed by a shinto priest.
"This poison has anti-youkai qualities to it... set him down ya know. Naruto, how many fingers am I holding up ya know?" Shizuku asked him as she held up 4 fingers right next to his face.
Naruto threw up.
Kuroka and Serafall put Naruto down on the couch, and while Serafall wanted to attack Kuroka... she took a breath.
"Are you safe for Naruto?" Serafall asked Kuroka, charging up her magical power, to blast Kuroka to pieces.
"He's my Master."
"... If he trusts you, I will too... I'm going to go get help. You two better not let him die!" Serafall used her wings to fly out of the open door. The second she left, Asia summoned her Twilight Healing and started to heal every bleeding injury that Natuto had. Shizuku splashed water all over Naruto, and she put her mouth on top of the wound that poisoned him.
It tasted horrible.
"That doesn't work, you can't suck out poison that is all over his-"
"I'm a Mizuchi idiot, I'm immune to poison, and have water powers ya know. I just some of my water into his blood... I'll use the water to take out poison... but I can't get it all that way ya know." Shizuku put her mouth back on the cut. She put more water in his body, and she took tainted water out of his body and spat it onto the carpet.
"I knew he would get hurt... I'll heal you!" Asia had her hands over Naruto's heart, trying to use her gear to keep it beating.
Naruto groaned.
"Who did this Naruto... tell me and I'll find them..." Kuroka was by his side, fury in her eyes, but his eyes were closed. He wasn't responding to her words, he didn't even seem like he heard them. Shizuku wasn't just sucking out the water in his body, she was taking his blood with the poison. "Naruto, you don't break promises... you promised you would help me and my sister... don't break it." Kuroka shook him, before Shizuku stopped what she was doing and glared at her.
"Leave... we're trying to save him... you can't keep shaking him ya know." Shizuku glared at her, before she went back to what she was doing. What she was doing would not get rid of all of the poison, but hopefully, she could get rid of enough of it so that it was no longer fatal to him.
Kuroka didn't know what to do.
"What can I help with then?" Kuroka held back a growl.
"Nothing, just stay out of the way, we're healers, not you ya know." Shizuku told her as she continued to work. The inside of her mouth felt like it was on fire, the blessed properties of the poison were just downright disgusting. Still, her poison immunity meant it was just unpleasant, not deadly for her.
She got most of the poison out, but Naruto didn't seem like his condition was improving at all. He didn't seem to be getting any worse, but he certainly wasn't getting better either.
"Where does it hurt Naruto?" Asia asked as she moved her hands to anywhere that looked like it was painful for Naruto. She didn't know where to heal, if he wasn't awake to tell her.
Shizuku stopped.
"Uuuuuh... I hurt... everywhere... I'm going to take a nap..." Naruto groaned with his eyes closed, a little bit of color back to his cheeks. Naruto grabbed Asia's hands and moved them back to his heart. "... but this hurts the most... not emotionally either... it's on fire." Naruto wasn't trying to be smart about it, and say his pain was emotional.
Nope, not this time, this time he was suffering from physical pain of the heart.
Great, now he had to deal with assassins after his life.
Just great.
