"Uuuuuh... is Naruto healed yet...?"
Asia, Asia, was groaning as she was on the couch with a fan blowing on her face. For five days now, five days, the house had been an oven. A giant, moist oven, that was cooking all of them up. She had stopped wearing underwear, or bras, altogether while in the house just to keep herself a little cooler. She was wearing her pajamas, since they were the lightest clothes she had that were still decent. She really wanted Naruto to get better, not just for his health at this point, but because everyone but Shizuku was suffering from it.
Five... Days.
"I like it warm... but this is just killer. Why is this heater so powerful nya?" Kuroka asked with a groan. Unlike Asia, she had no such thing as modesty, she was laying the cool kitchen floor butt naked. The floor was tile, which felt just great on her naked body. She hated the fact that her Senjutsu healing couldn't heal poison, only physical injuries and life force injuries. "... Asia... go get ice cream... and a lot of it..." Kuroka whined.
She was worried sick for Naruto, but this level of heat was just starting to get unbearable. If she could just leave the house, that would be great, but she was under house arrest thanks to Serafall. She needed to stay in Naruto's house until all 4 Satans were done figuring out if she would be released of all crimes, or be punished for those crimes. Not only was she currently considered banished from the Underworld, but all 4 Satans knew where she was... she needed to obey or else something bad could happen.
A cool breeze went through the living room, and then started up in the kitchen.
"Aaaaaaaah." Asia sighed, absolute relief, when she could feel the AC kick on and bath her in cool air. The air was still super humid thanks to all of the humidifiers that were in the rooms, but the fact that a panty-clad Shizuku was grabbing a hold of two of them and taking them towards her own room meant soon enough the room would be less humid. "This feels much better... thanks Shizuku-san..." Asia was able to relax a little better.
Kuroka was just face down on the floor, splayed out, with her hands turning into thumbs up. She didn't even have the energy to say anything. Shizuku took all of the humidifiers out of the room, and took them all into her own room. She even did them a favor and turned on the de-humidifier for them, soon enough the room would be cool and dry again.
"I usually hate you... but this is... I thought that Naruto needed to sweat nya?" Kuroka turned her head up, slowly realizing that Shizuku turning on the AC was odd, considering she should be in Naruto's room healing him in the heat. She was too hot and tired, from the heat, to put two and two together though. She just stared at the back of Shizuku's ass with some confusion.
Why did she turn the AC on and open the window?
Who cares, time to enjoy the AC.
"God, that was a good bath... now I just need something to get the taste out of my mouth."
Neither Asia nor Kuroka registered it as Naruto came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, cleaned off completely without a drop of sweat on his body. While the two of them were covered in it, his bath made him feel cleaner. It was great to be able to move his body again, and he was back to full health. Naruto opened the fridge, and frowned when he saw no soda.
"Wha...?" Asia tilted her head up at a boy voice.
"You all drank the cold sodas... not cool... even the milk? Guess I'll go brush my teeth then." Naruto wasn't going to get his cold drink, so he might as well go and brush the taste of Shizuku's snatch out of his mouth. He was pretty sure that after the last two days, he had her taste and smell committed to memory. "... my jaw is sore as hell from that." Naruto rubbed his sore jaw with a groan.
He had gotten a two day long, crash course in eating out a woman, since it was either that or risk literally drowning. The girl was the type who got really wet downstairs, tongue work had kept him alive for the most part. Shizuku hadn't even been trying to teach him, he just learned that when she had an orgasm, that she stopped humping his face for a little bit. Now, there were times when she would stop humping his face and focus on healing him, like when he was asleep. That was only when he was asleep.
All in all, he didn't know if it was the diet Shizuku put them on, but she didn't taste bad... she tasted pretty sweet.
Still, having the same taste in his mouth for two days got old.
"Nya?" Kuroka glanced at the feet of the person who was passing by her, two large to be either Shizuku or Asia, and neither of them had peach colored skin of this shade. "Naruto?" Kuroka looked up and saw Naruto standing there in all of his glory, towel around waist.
"Naruto?" Asia asked as well when she heard Kuroka.
They both stared at his face for a couple of seconds.
"Naruto!" Asia jumped to her feet and ran across the room, while Kuroka scrambled to her feet and jumped on him. Asia jumped on top of him as well, forcing him to hold up both of the girls just to stop himself from calling. They were rambling to him at light speed, talking about everything and nothing, showing just how worried they were over him.
Neither of them had been allowed in the room at all the last few days, so they didn't even know how well he was doing.
"You're okay, are you okay, do you hurt anywhere nya!?" Kuroka let go of him and circled around his body, pushing her hands up anywhere that she could. She saw nothing wrong with him, not a single scratch of swollen muscle. He looked brand new to her. "You're skin is baby smooth nya." Kuroka whispered when she realized that Naruto's skin was softer than it usually was, even though his muscles were still as hard as steel.
Such a strangely soothing combination.
"If it hurts anywhere, tell me, I'll fix it for you." Asia already had her Sacred Gear out and ready to heal his aches and pains.
"My jaw is sore... oh that is the stuff..." Naruto said as she put her hands on his face, and the soreness from his activities was gone. He just sighed in relief, before he removed her hands from his body. "Anyway, I feel good as new, Shizuku's not a bad healer... though I question her ethics..." Naruto grumbled, already experiencing phantom pains.
She really was a snake.
When she was determined to grab her prey, she did not let go of it. It was a humbling experience for him, in complete honesty, to have absolutely no power in a situation. To be at somebody else's control was a different experience, and because he knew he could trust Shizuku, it wasn't a bad experience... a little unpleasant at parts, but not overly bad.
"Thank the Lord, when you came home almost dead... I knew it was a mistake... I should have-" Asia didn't get to punish when she was bopped on the head. She held the top of her head with teary eyes, not sure why she just got that treatment.
Kuroka wanted to grin, but she would get a head bopping if she did, and she knew it.
She grinned anyway, and got her head bopped.
"Worth it nya... Shizuku said it was a really dangerous person who made the poison, that it had to be. Did it happen at the Church?" Kuroka asked as she tried to pull Naruto towards the couch, to sit down and get him to tell them the story. Now that the room was cooling down, she grabbed her kimono off the floor and loosely put it over her shoulders.
Naruto just shook his head.
"I've been laying on my back, barely able to move, for days... I don't really want to sit down." Naruto started to stretch out his limbs, Asia and Kuroka were welcome to sit down of course. Being able to move again though, he wasn't about to waste the gift he had been given. "Also, both of you are sweaty, and other than this towel I'm naked... the bath water is still good. You two shower off, and I'll get dressed. I'll tell you what happened after... give the house more time to cool down." Naruto could smell their sweat.
Not to mention, he wanted to get some light training in while they bathed, so that he could get his body warmed up. He felt a little stronger than when he was defeated, but that could just be because he was fed Shizuku's blood. He didn't know how that worked, but he didn't feel weaker, or anything.
He just had a ton of pent up energy at the moment.
"You two stink, is what he is saying... you're nose-blind to your own smell ya know." Shizuku came back into the room with a small smile. She had 10 humidifiers for her room now, her room was going to be nice and moist at all times. Now all she needed was a small heater so that she could keep her room a little warmer than everyone else's rooms and she would be golden. "I'm perfectly fine naked, but clothes feel good again ya know." Shizuku showed that she was wearing a small... dress that was nearly completely see through.
Even when she was dressed she gave off the 'Perverted Loli' aura about her, not an ounce of shame over her body in her at all.
"... But-"
"No buts, the house needs to cool down... I have the AC on Max just to get the house cooled down as quickly as I can. You're both getting into that shower... anyway, I need to collect my memories of everything that happened that night... it's hazy for me." Naruto rubbed the side of his head with no small amount of frustration. He could remember a lot of details, and he remembered everything that happened in the Church.
The poison had affected his memories of what happened a little, he remembered the guy that did it to him. His memories of their conversation was hazy though, he just knew that the guy had nearly succeeded in killing him.
"You're going to tell me everything nya." Kuroka stated to Naruto as she started her way to the bath.
"... I'm sorry for what happened."
"Don't be... the person who poisoned me wasn't related to the people who were after you. This was a guy who was after me... but I don't know why... and Kuroka... I'll tell you what I remember..." Naruto made no promises on this. He had been asleep for 3 days, and with his brain affected by the poison, his memory wasn't super reliable at the moment. Then he had been in a sort of daze for two days with Shizuku.
It was only when his soldier stood at attention that Shizuku decided that he was fit to start moving on his own again. If his body was well enough to get aroused, then his body was back to a good condition.
"Just tell me a name now." Kuroka wanted to know the name of the future dead man.
"... Sa... Sa-something... sorry." Naruto gave her an actual sorry grin. He really couldn't remember the name perfectly, but he remembered their face. "... Sasori... red haired little prick." Naruto remembering the face helped him remember the name.
Shizuku, Kuroka, and Asia... they all had no clue who that was. Shizuku was an ayakashi who didn't pay attention to humans too much. Kuroka only really paid attention to the supernatural world, and Asia was super innocent... and not from Japan so a guy with a Japanese name was kind of not something she should be expected to know.
-One Bath Time Later-
"That was fast..." Naruto passed through the living room, with his sweat and sex fluid (Shizuku's fault) stained bed sheets in his arms. Kuroka and Asia had sped through those baths, since they both were dying to know what happened to him. He had enough time to strip his bed, spray down his room with febreeze, and take his sheets to to the washing machine. Oh, and he opened the window to his room, to get some fresh air.
Naruto opened the door to the washing room, just a very small room with a washer and dryer, before he tossed them in with a pod. With that done, he walked back in the living room.
They were waiting with rapt attention, even Shizuku didn't know the details of what happened.
"Were you attacked by an ayakashi who was after Demon Slayers?"
"Was it a Fallen Angel?"
"Did this Sasori drop any useful hints about why he tried to kill you ya know?"
"No, no, and... he was an assassin after my life. He was not an Ayakashi, he was not a Fallen Angel... I think I remember him being a puppet?" Naruto wasn't sure if that part was real or hallucination. "He shot beams of cutting water from his mouth, and had... flamethrowers in his hands... and chainsaws in his stomach." Naruto gave all the details he could remember about how the guy fought.
Despite all his weapons, it seemed that Sasori had really been banking on the poison to kill Naruto, because once it worked, he decided his work was done and got ready to leave.
"... A puppet? Like, he belonged to a group, and was a low ranking member nya?" Kuroka asked with a tilted head, since she was pretty sure people weren't puppets otherwise. "... or the Puppet Maker Sacred Gear, which lets you create humanoid puppets..." Kuroka remembered a few Sacred Gears, and Puppet Maker wasn't one that pretty rare. There were a couple of people that had it around the world at any given time, it was uncommon though.
It wasn't that great though, since puppets only ever had the abilities they had in life, so for the Sacred Gear to be good, you had to kill people with abilities better than your own. It wasn't that great, since the puppets could still be broken as well, far more easily than a living person for sure.
It was rare, not good.
"Since everyone is no doubt sick of instant ramen... I'll get started on lunch ya know. I'll still be listening to the conversation ya know." Shizuku hadn't eaten anything in almost a week, and she was hungry. While she could survive purely off water when in a very moist area, she liked eating good food, and after hundreds of years of practice, filling her belly just became normal.
"Something like that... anyway, Asia, you're now free for real. They Fallen Angels after you were all defeated." Naruto told Asia with a bright and cheerful smile. He was happy to give her the good news.
Asia just hugged him and shook her head.
"I don't care about that, I'm just happy you're safe now."
'I'm really not though...' Naruto didn't say that out loud. He was pretty sure that since he was alive, he was going to have more assassins coming after him. The funny part, he wouldn't have been poisoned if he hadn't given his jacket to Koneko. It was that one act of kindness that caused his initial poisoning, since having his jacket would have provided some real protection from that knife. "I don't remember a whole lot, it was a pretty short encounter... we fought, he poisoned me, I broke a puppet, and he left..." Naruto stated to Kuroka, who seemed a little bitter about his lack of knowledge.
How was she going to track this guy down, and rip him to pieces, if she didn't have proper information? She already went to the location it happened, and all she found was burnt trees. There was no evidence that she could use, or even a scent that she could track down.
The man covered his tracks well.
"Nothing?" Kuroka asked, her face showing her thoughts well enough.
"Nothing, anything happen while I was out?" Naruto asked her, since she was the one that would know. Kuroka and Asia actually shared looks at that, since some stuff did sort of happen.
"Koneko-san came over... but I told her you were sick... and couldn't see her." Asia had not lied, it was completely true. At Kuroka's behest, she gave no details on what was keeping Naruto down, but it seemed that Koneko was suspicious of her anyway. Every morning, she came over, and would see if Naruto was 'better' and every morning she was forced to tell Koneko that he was still sick.
Koneko seemed to be getting more determined to see him each passing day, and her mood when she was told she couldn't see him got worse each day.
Today, she practically demanded to see him.
-At Kuoh Academy-
"... I knew he shouldn't have gone alone... I knew it... he was too upset, not thinking clearly..."
Rias paced across the room with a worried, thoughtful look on her face. Naruto hadn't come to school since she and he had that argument, the woods he went to when he tracked down Freed had burned down. There was no trace of a body, of either Freed or Naruto, and there were signed of a struggle. Every morning Koneko went to his house, but that nun girl always said he was sick with a worried look on her ace.
Koneko, Koneko, of all people wasn't allowed to see him.
"I'm sure that the bastard-"
"Shut up." Koneko snapped at Issei, he didn't even get to finish before she had snapped at him. She was not going to sit here, and let Issei show his jealousy towards Naruto, when they didn't even know what condition he was in. They didn't even know if he was really sick, since Asia didn't even let anyone in the house.
"... What if he is... you know." Yuuto brought up, what nobody wanted to think about. Nobody, not even Issei, wanted Naruto dead. He went off alone, nobody could find any bodies, and the only place he should be, they were refused the chance to see him. "I mean... being sick for five days?" Yuuto could see his words didn't go over well with either Rias or Koneko.
It was suspicious.
Akeno, knowing that Koneko wouldn't take that idea well, put down a cup of tea in front of her. She looked visibly upset by what Yuuto was saying, but she wasn't the only one, Rias was upset too. Koneko lost a friend, but Rias lost a savior. A man who had helped her with several problems plaguing her, her entire life.
"You don't even like him, you're always insulting him, complaining about him, you two are always fighting, even when you're getting along." Issei didn't see why Koneko was so hurt about this. She was down a headache, with Naruto no longer coming around, she was going to have more peace.
Koneko's face became red, not wanting so say anything, or else give the wrong impression.
"... We're going to a convention together... I don't want him to miss it..." Koneko said without even once glancing at Issei.
"Why do you even care is the point, the way you two fight is famous across the school. You beat each other up whenever you get the chance. You can just go to whatever convention without him... or take me instead." Issei smiled at Koneko, and she just sent him the most sour look possible. Her cheeks were puffy and red, but she didn't have any arguments.
She and Naruto fought a lot.
"I... I already have a costume, and he has a matching one... it fits his size..."
"So! Why do you even want to spend time with somebody you fight with so much, at all!?" Issei genuinely didn't understand why Koneko seemed so hurt about this. The two fought so much, but Koneko seemed like the first person willing to help Naruto. She insulted him, punched him, and he insulted her and punched her as well.
"I like him a lot!"
"What?" Yuuto asked when he heard that odd shout come from Koneko's mouth. He wasn't sure, but he was pretty she just admitted out loud that she liked him. Koneko's face, her entire face was bright red. Koneko stood up, and ran out of the room before she could be questioned any further. "Wait, Koneko!... Issei... why did you push her like that?" Yuuto asked the local pervert.
Issei didn't look happy.
Actually, he felt pretty bad at the moment. He really didn't mean to hurt her feelings, if she really did like the guy. He was just trying to understand why Koneko even cared if Naruto was alright or no.
"I'll go apologize to her-"
"Give her some time, I don't think even Koneko realized her feelings before now. I think you were the push that she needed... but I'm still worried about Naruto." Rias did smile when she saw Koneko finally come to terms with how she felt about Naruto. Issei's constant questioning, pressuring, made Koneko speak her mind without thinking about it.
It was great that Koneko was aware of her own feelings, but the fact remains, that her realizing her feelings didn't mean much if Naruto wasn't around anymore. If anything, it would be heart breaking for the girl to finally become aware she liked the guy... only to loss him.
"Still... now I feel bad. I really thought that the two of them only got along, because they were always fighting." Issei spoke with a wince. He should have known by now, that Koneko gave off the aura of a Tsundere. She had only ever been showing her Tsun side, not even aware of her dere side.
"She was really looking forward to going with Naruto to that convention. She really does have her costume planned out. They have a hotel room and everything." Akeno pointed out with a grin on her face, when she saw Issei slump even more into the couch. He had a miserable look on his face, feeling even worse thanks to that added bit of information.
-With Koneko-
"... I like him..."
She said that, she said that she liked him a lot. She pulled her knees to her chest, sitting at the edge of the school roof. She thought about the first time that she met Naruto, the way he and she beat each other up. The insults they both threw were hurtful, but once everything was said and done, she had wanted to see him again and fight him again. At that first meeting, she didn't like him, she wanted to beat him up to prove herself better than him.
Then they fought more, and while she was angry at him... she noticed that his anger with her started to fade away. He gained a respect for her, and she started to respect him as well. With that respect, her own dislike of him started to waver. As they fought more, she found herself... not hating him, or even disliking him.
She fought by his side against Shizuku, they experience battle together, and not just against each other.
Then she spent her mornings with him, coming to school together on motorcycle, eating breakfast and lunch together every day. She didn't just fight with him anymore, they still fought, but now she enjoyed spending time with him. She learned more about him, she saw not only his bad side, but she saw the goodness in him.
"I like him... a lot..." Koneko whispered, watching the people around the school going about their after school club activities. When she didn't have to go to his house every morning, she still did it because she wanted to. "... I wanted to tell him..." Koneko wanted to tell him the truth about her past. When he revealed he knew of her youkai side, she was uncomfortable, but she wanted to be honest with him.
He would accept her.
She wasn't afraid of him finding out about her past, because she knew that he would accept her for who she was. Cat ears and all, and he would accept her with a smile. Naruto showed her part of his companies secrets, he had trusted her completely with that (though he didn't give her clothes). She had been touched when she realized he trusted her so much. At the Church, they went through another life and death battle together... and they were so in sync. One word, one word was all it took for them to get their act together and switch opponents when they realized the other one was in trouble.
She couldn't even remember what it felt like to hate him anymore, they had known each other for barely longer than a month... but she had such strong feelings towards him now.
"I really like him a lot..." Koneko paused when even those words didn't seem right to her. She felt comfortable with Naruto, she was more expressive with her emotions when she was with him. There were few people she trusted to see her emotions, her fellow peerage members... other than Issei since he was new... and Naruto.
Issei.
She would never have realized all of this, if that bastard didn't push all of her buttons. Now, she didn't know if Naruto was safe or not, and it was only now that she was realizing her feelings for Naruto. She didn't just come to like his company, she came to want to spend more time with him. She wanted to be more involved with him, and him to be more involved with her. She wanted more than friendship now.
She knew why the words didn't seem right now.
"I love him." Koneko smiled to herself when those words tasted right in her mouth. "I'm in love... and... he's sick... he might be dying." Koneko frowned, closing her eyes. She shook her head, slapping her cheeks and standing up. She was going to go into Naruto's home, and demand that she see him.
She didn't care if he was sick, she wanted to make sure he was okay, that he was actually there.
Was that a motorcycle?
Was that Naruto heading to school, super late, on a motorcycle? Koneko's eyes widened when she saw her idiot that riding his bike. She blinked a few times, before she stood up and looked down at him pulling to a stop. She stared down at him, stunned to see him.
-With Naruto-
"... Damn, still a lot of clubs around. Doesn't matter, I'll go and tell the others I'm fine. Hope they didn't misunderstand... actually... pretty sure they wouldn't be misunderstanding either." Naruto did almost die, so if they believed that he was almost dead... that wasn't a misunderstanding. He was okay now though, after almost a full week of healing. The poison had really done a number on him, but he was okay and back in action.
No doubt Rias was freaking out, since the last conversation they had was left off on a very bitter note. She seemed like the type that would hang on that, and be filled with regret over it. He needed to make things better with her, and check on Koneko to make sure she was okay. According to his housemates, it was Koneko that tried to check up on him every morning.
"It's him... and here I thought he got himself killed."
"You know I can hear that, right?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes, right at the track runner who passed by. He was back in action, so he was more than happy to kick the ass of whoever decided to speak shit like that. "Meh, doesn't matter, I got more important things to do than fight you-"
Koneko ran out the front doors of the school, towards him.
"Yeah-" Koneko got a lot closer, she wasn't particularly fast for a Devil, but she crossed the distance between them faster than a human could. Naruto watched her with a confused expression, before she got feet away from him. Without even pulling her fist back or winding up, she slugged him in the face. "-he isn't the one you're fighting idiot!" Koneko had an angry red face.
Naruto was pushed back by her fist, his motorcycle stopping him before it was knocked over. Naruto already had a large bruise on his face. He looked at her, before a grin spread over his face.
"Yeah, I've been in bed for 5 days... I've got a lot of pent up energy. I'll take it all out on you." Naruto took a step forward and punched her right back. He put his all into the punch, and knocked her right off her feet. Her head hit the ground first, before she corrected herself and scrambled to her feet quickly. He rushed her, and grabbed both sides of her head. She got a close up view of his knee seconds later, when he knocked her into the air.
She landed on her feet, several feet back away from him, and she rubbed the blood from her nose.
"Raaaah!" Koneko roared as she charged him down.
They both pulled their fists back, and punched each other in the face. They paused, before Naruto pulled his fist back and used both hands to stop her from kneeing him. Gripping her knee, he tossed her up in the air, before he jumped up and kicked her in the center of the chest. She wrapped both arms around his legs, and twisted her body so that he hit the ground face first. She hit the ground after him, but rolled so that she was on all fours.
A yo-yo wrapped around her wrist, and she was yanked off of her hands and feet towards Naruto. He grabbed the front of her shirt when she reached him, before he jumped to his feet. He ran towards the front of the school, and slammed her into the wall. Giving her a double fisted thrust, before the two of them broke through the front door of the school. He slammed her into the shoe locker, broke a shelf on it, before all of the shoes fell on them.
'Something is wrong with her... better not hold anything back.' Naruto thought as she grabbed his face with her palm, and threw him off her. He landed in the hallway of the school, with whatever students that were there, quickly running out of the way. He landed on his feet though, and he ducked underneath a punch from Koneko and gave her an uppercut to the jaw. "Woah! That is a low shot!" Naruto jumped back when she nearly kicked him in the nuts.
Something wrong with her or not, that wasn't cool, so when she landed back on her feet, he slugged her in the cheek as she kicked him in the ribs. He stepped forward through the pain, and slugged her in the right cheek, before he stepped forward again and held nothing back with a straight to the left cheek. He completed his combo by giving her another right to the forehead.
She took the last hit with extra force, by tanking the blow and rushing forward. She got a clean hit at his chest, but she was knocked back when she felt a rough wind push against her.
"That didn't hurt at all, it was nothing compared to..." Koneko stopped talking and tackled him.
The two of them went through a wall together, and she continued to push against him, before they slammed into both a wall and a window. Just like that, they had smashed their way back outside of the school. She didn't stop her charge though, and slammed him into a tree with less force thanks to rushing through walls.
"Nothing compared to what?" Naruto shouted his question, he wrapped his hands around her waist, and pulled her off her feet. He stepped away from the tree, and slammed her into it upside down. The splintered bark completely broke, their combined attacks against it knocking it down.
He groaned when she punched him in the gut, and showed incredible agility in landing back on her feet. Before the tree hit the ground, she kicked his leg out from under him.
"What are you two doing, stop this at-"
Sona ran across the school ground to try and stop them, and she wasn't alone, the entire student council was with her. Even Rias and her peerage were following after them as well. Sona didn't get to finish her statement though when Koneko grabbed Naruto while he was off balance, and threw him a clear 50 feet away. Everyone who was trying to stop them, or watch them, had to scatter to avoid him landing on top of them.
"Damn near broke my shin... I'm pretty sure you broke my shin, and my ribs... you're damn serious today. Come on, whatever issue you're working through, I've got it!" Naruto raised his fists up, grinning from ear to ear. He and Koneko ran at each other, with Sona about to try and stop them again.
Rias put a stop to that.
"Let them work this out, I'll punish Koneko later for ruining school property... and pay for it all to be fixed myself." This was a matter between her friend and a member of her peerage, Koneko's actions were her responsibility. Koneko started this fight when she saw Naruto was alright, and though Rias didn't understand why Koneko wanted to punch him... she and Naruto first bonded over this.
If she had to guess... Koneko was confirming something to herself.
'His punches...' Koneko took one to the neck, and she gave him one to the gut. She spun on her heels, but she was stopped when he grabbed her by the shirt. She had her shirt ripped off of her body, leaving her in dressed in only a skirt, her bra, and the small little cape around her shoulders.
"Yes!"
'He's blushing?' Koneko was a little confused, since Naruto was used to seeing tits at this point. She didn't even cover her chest, she just slugged him in the shoulder. He had seen her bare tits before, heck, he had seen Rias, Akeno, Shizuku, Serafall, Asia... he had seen a lot of way more endowed (not counting Shizuku) and he... well she didn't know if he blushed when he saw any of them naked. "Don't get distracted dumbass." Koneko had red cheeks as she grabbed his jacket and ripped it in half.
Now they were both topless, but because she chose revenge, she was grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air. She had her breath stolen from her when he choke slammed her into the ground. Koneko, for a second, realized that Naruto's attacks all packed a lot more of a punch than they did when they first fought.
'Fuck, I should not be turned on...' Naruto thought as he rubbed his bloody chin, before he grinned... and then his eyes widened. Koneko had grabbed a tree, the entire fallen tree, and lifted it up. Reacing into his pockets, he grabbed both of his yo-yos and prepared himself.
She roared as she threw it.
A split second was all he had, and he used it to wrap around the trunk of the tree, before he jerked on it and the string sliced through the trunk of the tree. Both yo-yos landed in his hands, and the tree trunks landed on either side of him. He smirked and beckoned for Koneko to come at him with a single motion.
"So... you still want this to continue?" Sona asked with a deadpan stare when she watched the two go after each other. "They're using supernatural abilities." Sona reminded Rias.
"... We can erase student memories... though-" Rias was stopped when a stronger gust of wind slammed into Koneko, and knocked her clear through the air. Naruto had a small tornado coming from the palm of his hand, with the tornado surrounding his yo-yo. He was using the yo-yo to aid him in using his wind powers, and not only that, but his wind powers had grown a little stronger. "-... This might not be great." Rias admitted with a small frown.
Koneko was tossed close to 50 feet in the air, before a Naruto grabbed her ankles with his yo-yos. With a firm grip, Naruto yanked her down from the air, and slammed her into the roof of the gym. She crashed into it, and went into the building with Naruto running towards it.
-With Koneko-
"Uuuuuuh... that one hurt a lot more..." Koneko groaned as she looked down at what little remained of her clothes. She was in little more than mostly ripped panties and socks at this point. Her shoes and skirt had been ripped off as she went through the roof, and her bra with it... even her panties were barely hanging on. "Seriously... my clothes get damaged more than anyone else's clothes." Koneko noted as she looked where she was.
"Woah... it's the school mascot, Koneko-chan."
"Boy's changing room... meaning..." Koneko slammed her fist and popped open a locker with ease. Looking into it, she saw a larger white shirt that had Naruto's scent on it. She had her breasts covered with one arm, but she didn't get to put the shirt on.
Naruto came crashing through the door of the changing room.
"Gotcha!" Naruto tackled her face first into the locker, getting all of the half-naked men in the changing room to freak out when he collapsed the lockers. They all scattered, naked girl or not they valued their lives, leaving Naruto and Koneko alone in the changing room.
"Pause!"
Naruto stopped his fist inches before it hit Koneko's face. She grabbed Naruto's gym shirt, and pulled it over herself. Not only did it easily cover her chest, but it even covered her panties.
"Unpause."
Naruto's fist collided with her face the second she unpaused their fight, and she was knocked into the showers. The men who had been in there, were freaked out when a still indecent Koneko slammed into the tile wall. They covered their junks and ran out, wrapping towels around themselves. Naruto slammed his shoulder into the center of her chest, and this time it was his turn to shove her through a wall.
"EEEEEEEK!"
"Oh, cool, girl's changing room this time." Naruto had a shower in the girl's locker room pouring hot water on him. The naked girls covered themselves, grabbed towels and ran out of the changing room. Koneko picked herself off the ground, and saw Naruto ignoring the other girls and just staring down at her.
Koneko smiled when she saw that, before she grit her teeth and forced a glare on her face. She destroyed a bottle of shampoo, before she swiped her hand in front of her, and splattered across his arms when he covered his eyes. She grabbed the loop of his belt and threw him across the changing room and into the door leading out of it.
"Whoops..." Koneko realized that she had ripped off said belt, and his boxers, when she did that. She ignored that, and picked up the nearest locker, before she threw it at Naruto. It stopped in the air in front of him, a stronger gust of wind pausing it. Naruto ran under it with fists clenched. She grabbed a second locker, and slammed it into him like a baseball bat. His body went flying and slammed into the first locker.
He gave a shout of pain to that one, before she heard a very loud splash as Naruto landed outside of the changing room and landed in the school pool. She ran out of the changing rooms after him, and saw him getting out of the pool in his boxers.
The swimming club were making a fast effort to swim out of the pool, and run away from any of the danger of their fight.
Naruto spewed blood out of his mouth, and she watched as he spat a tooth out of his mouth. Naruto reached out into his mouth, and she saw that she had knocked out a molar with that.
"Thankfully, Asia can fix that... otherwise I would be way more pissed... good hit... I think that might have... oh year, that broke my shoulder." Naruto spat more blood out as he spoke, and he got back to his feet. Koneko raised her fists up when she saw him do the same.
"Narutoooo!"
"Konekoooo!"
They punched each other in the face, and she saw stars when he got her right in the eye. She then took a punch to the gut, and a knee to the ribs that she was pretty sure cracked them. She elbowed him in the bicep, and scratched his chest with her fingernails by mistake. He grabbed his own shirt, the one she was wearing, and pulled her closer to him as he kicked her right in the right breast. She gasped in pain as she was sent flying over the pool fence, and he jumped over the fence to follow after her.
'I don't even have big ones, and that hurt...' Koneko realized that she was shirtless again, but she ignored it this time.
Fuck it.
She needed to fight Naruto, she didn't care who saw her right now. Anyway, she and Naruto were both pretty much naked. She punched the concrete underneath her feet, and pulled a large chunk out of it and threw it at him. Naruto caught with both hands, before he spun around and flung it back at her with double the speed, using her own force against her. She took the concrete chunk right to the face, and got knocked down to the ground with a broken nose.
"Now we're both got blood faces... you ready to give... it hurts to breath a little... you gonna tell me what this is all about?" Naruto looked down at her.
"... I was worried about you idiot-" Koneko finished that sentence by slamming her forehead into his nose. His hands went up to his now broken nose, and she pulled his ankle out from under him. She got on top of him and punched him in the face again. "... and I'm also..." Koneko didn't finish the sentence at all.
All the physical pain she was in, it was nothing compared to the pain she had been feeling when she thought she was losing Naruto forever. She actually smiled when she realized that she had him back, and he was... previously healthy before they started to fight.
Naruto reached out her, and grabbed her by the arm and slammed her onto ground, before he sat on her and slugged her in the face. He kept slamming his fist down onto her, which she raised her forearms up to protect herself.
"When I went after Freed, an assassin appeared and poisoned me! Shizuku has been fixing me for the last five days!" Naruto explained to her as he rained the blows down. Koneko shoved her knee into his crotch, which caused him to curl up with both hands going into his underwear in pain. "Cheap shot... ooooh..."
Koneko got on top of him, and started to punch everything on him that she could see.
"That's a very good reason, and I'm sorry I was upset! I was just super scared that I would lose you, you're my best friend and I'm in love with you!" Koneko started to beat the shit out of him as she gave him her confession. This entire fight with him was just her testing her own feelings, to see if she could still feel the same way about him as she felt the first time she fought. The entire time they were fighting, not once could she bring out any real hatred.
Why was she still punching him?
Well, they were still fighting of course, just because she was confessing her feelings didn't change the fact that they weren't done fighting yet. She wouldn't stop punching until their fight was finished, and it didn't feel finished to her. Naruto grabbed her by the face, and slammed her head back into the concrete, before he got on top up and started to kick her while she wad down.
"Thank you, and I have strong feelings towards you too! Right now I'm going through some complicated emotional stuff, and can't properly return your confession!" Naruto accepted her feelings as he was pretty sure he was breaking her ribs. He was super glad that she loved him, and he was very sure he loved her too, but he still had conflicted feelings towards other girls as well.
Koneko grabbed raised her leg up, and kicked him in the ass, knocking him off of his feet and onto the ground. She put Naruto in a headlock quickly, the two of them were bleeding heavily, and they were both super bruised.
"Then, lets continue doing what we do best, and fight each other! I'm going to become your girlfriend, and I'm not going to stop loving you! I'll wait for you to return my feelings when you're emotional stuff is done with!" Koneko accepted his situation, but she was going to keep trying to get him to love her back. Now that she understood her own feelings, and that she had tested her feelings and realized they were not going to change, she would work towards them. "I'm a Nekoshou, my original name is Shirone, and I'm afraid of my heritate because my sister went insane with power! I don't want to become like her, and hurt what I love!" Koneko screamed that to the heavens.
If she was coming clean, then she would come clean with everything.
Naruto reached up, and grabbed her head, before he slammed her into the ground. He grabbed both of her arms, and pulled them back and shoved his foot between her shoulder blades.
"Kuroka didn't go mad with power, her previous Master tried to experiment on you, and she killed him to protect you! The Kanto Youkai assigned Kuroka to be my bodyguard, and she told me the truth! Serafall is in the Underworld right now, confirming it with the other Satans! She's innocent and wants to be a family with you again!" Naruto, since she was coming clean with him, came clean with Koneko as well about her sister. Koneko stopped fighting him, and just turned her head up to look him in the face... with her eye that wasn't swollen shut.
"What?"
The fight was over now.
"Kuroka loves you a lot... she sacrificed everything to keep you safe... she's made a lot of mistakes, but she never meant to put you in danger... please believe me... she wants to be a family with you again." Naruto panted out, and he helped Koneko back to her feet. She was panting too, since she had just put a ton of emotional stuff on the table... and she had taken quite a beating.
Koneko reached up and put her fist against his chest softly, before glanced away from him, closed her eyes, and looked back at him.
"... You know what... call me crazy... but I believe you." Koneko stood up straight and smiled at him, before she rubbed her arm uncomfortably. Cat ears formed on top of her head, and a tail grew out of her rear end. She smiled at Naruto when she didn't see any change in how he looked at her. "... I'm not ready to accept myself though, and I'm not ready to be a family with her again either." Koneko pulled back in her cat features, and was serious.
Years and years of hurt weren't easily healed, and it would be awhile before she trusted Kuroka, or even accepted herself.
"... Yeah... but it's a start... glad I won the fight." Naruto said with a growing grin on his face, and Koneko stopped when she heard that.
"You won?"
"Well, I had you pinned at the end there... I totally won." Naruto was punched in the face for that one, and knocked onto the ground. Koneko jumped on top of him, and pushed his hands down to the ground.
"I win."
"No-" Koneko silenced him with a kiss, she ignored the iron taste of blood, as she locked lips with him. She wanted to silence any argument that he had against her victory. She made out with him until she needed air, and she looked down at him with challenging eyes. "... I still-" Koneko leaned down and captured his lips again, she wasn't going to stop until he stopped saying he won.
She stopped kissing him again.
"I won... you taste like blood."
"No, I would say you both won." Rias interrupted them as she clapped her hands together, having watched the entire thing go down herself. She was happy that Koneko had realized her true feelings, and confessed like she did. She winced when she saw they had both taken a really bad beating, there was barely any part of their body that wasn't covered in bruises or blood. "Also, you both lost... caused a lot of destruction to the school. Koneko, you're getting another 1,000 spanks for this." Rias gestured behind herself to them.
Trees were knocked out, the main school had holes in the building, the gym roof had collapsed. The costs to repair it would be nothing in the grand scheme of things, it she could have everything repaired over night if she contacted her family. Heck, even changing the memories of the students who saw everything was no trouble.
"... I feel a lot better now... I'll gladly get spanked for this..." Koneko felt emotionally better, not physically of course. Her entire body was hurting something fierce. The spanking would suck, but it was worth it if that was all that she was going to do. "... Can I get some enhanced clothes now?" Koneko asked Naruto as she collapsed onto her back.
She couldn't move anymore.
Naruto collapsed on top of her.
"No... you'll just get them destroyed... you're already bulletproof. It would cost too much to keep buying more." Naruto wasn't going to give her the enhanced clothes. Not until he was sure she could wear them without ripping them. This battle alone was proof that she would just the clothes. In one battle, she had gone through two outfits and gotten both of them ripped to shreds.
Rias giggled when she saw them.
-Later-
"I'm telling you I won that fight." Naruto argued against Koneko as he sat in his home, with Asia using her Sacred Gear to heal his body. Shizuku was rubbing herself against his back, also participating in the healing process.
"Not even a day after I healed you, and you're already in critical condition... you literally broke almost every bone in your body ya know." Shizuku stated with a twitching eye, since Naruto was already back in critical condition. She had actually made Naruto wait until Koneko was done being healed.
Kuroka was standing in the room awkwardly, not making eye contact with Koneko, who refused to make eye contact with her either. The air between the two of them was not good, but thankfully it wasn't horrible either.
*SPANK*
"Uuuuh... I won... I caused more damage to the school, and I'm getting magically spanked for it... I won the fight." Koneko refused to let him have this. She was only 400 spanks into her punishment, and her ass was bright red. The second she had been healed by Asia and Shizuku, Rias had made her pull her panties down, bend over, and take her ass beating.
"You're getting your ass beat, you're not a winner ya know."
'I don't know what to say...' Asia thought with red cheeks, unable to watch as Koneko was spanked right in front of her. She agreed with Shizuku, that Koneko wasn't the winner, but neither was Naruto. Since they both got hurt, they were both lost in Asia's eyes.
It was silent, other than Rias' magical spanks creating the only sound in the apartment.
"I'm glad you're okay Naruto... and I'm sorry an assassin went after you. If I had known-"
"If you had known, then I would have known. If I knew assassins were after me, then I would have been more prepared. We didn't know, it happened, I almost died, and I won't let it happen again. I'll get stronger." Naruto punched the carpet. He still had so much room to grow, his loss against the assassin was proof that he needed to grow stronger.
Kuroka smirked when she heard that.
His determination was refreshing to her.
"Then, I guess we'll have to take your training to the next level than ya know." Shizuku was going to enjoy increasing his training even further. She would increase the amount of weight that was added to his work out, and she would start to fight him herself for training purposes. "I can't let my mate be killed by assassins, not before you give me your seed ya know." Shizuku had no plans of letting any assassins get his life.
They didn't need to know that though.
She had an image to maintain, an uncaring loli who was emotionally unaffected by everything. It was bad enough that Naruto had seen her emotional side, she wasn't letting anyone else see it. The world could do without knowing she had emotions that weren't lustful or anger.
"Your mate?" Koneko/Kuroka stated in unison, before they fell silent when they realized that had spoke at the same time.
'Right, why do I care, I'm fine with a harem.' Kuroka thought to herself, but Koneko just looked at her elder sister, before looking away... and wincing in pain when Rias spanked her a couple more times. She was in for a long and painful spanking, because Rias was really going to town with the punishment this time. "So... you came here without your peerage nya?" Kuroka didn't think Rias would have the guts to come to Naruto's apartment, knowing she was there, with no backup.
"Naruto trusts you."
That was all the reason that Rias needed to have a little faith in Kuroka, since Naruto wasn't going to steer her wrong. Rias looked at Naruto, and she sent him an apology with her eyes. She knew he might still be sour about their last talk, but she wanted to show him she held no hard feelings against him. She didn't stop spanking Koneko though, just like how Asia and Shizuku didn't stop healing Naruto.
"Also, I need to give you 5 days worth of homework... and remind you that you and Koneko are going to that convention. I got you those tickets, and I don't want them wasted." Rias still shipped Naruto and Koneko, and after today, she knew her ship had a strong change of happening. Though, the way that Koneko confessed was way different than what she had been expecting.
She wanted the to have fun together that didn't involve them physically hurting each other. It was usually romantic, after a nice date or something, not being total savages and destroying each other in a fight.
Though, this was Naruto and Koneko, their relationship was odd.
"5 days of homework... pretty bold of you to assume I'll do any of it. Oh yeah, the convention..." Naruto had no plans to do any of the work assigned to him while he was recovering. "Also, I still think Raynare should have lived to suffer... but I'm not going to hold it against you... so don't worry about that." Naruto could see it in her eyes, that she was trying to avoid getting on his bad side.
He wasn't going to hold a difference of opinion against her, since this was something trivial in the long run.
"There, you're all healed up now... I even regrew your tooth." Asia smiled when she saw that she and Shizuku had put Naruto back to full health... again. Shizuku blinked, and she looked at Naruto's body. He seemed... stronger than he was before he and Koneko fought, when he left home. It was like how he had seemed a little stronger than... his powers over wind had grown stronger. Somehow, during his fight with Koneko, he had gained more strength. That strength solidified itself as his power once his healing was done with.
Every battle he fought, every time he pushed himself, he actually grew noticeably stronger for it.
A mere month ago, Koneko was holding her power back against him, but this time... she held nothing back. Both of them had ended up in a critical condition, and caused some serious damage to the school just from the physical part of their fight.
'... I want to see how far I can push him... he takes to...' Shizuku blinked, before she realized the perfect thing to teach Naruto. It was something she had never tone before, but every ayakashi and youkai knew about. She had a weaker physical body than most ayakashi, so she couldn't do it herself. "Naruto... I think your ready to begin learning how to use touki to enhance your martial arts ya know." Shizuku mentioned with a look over his body. He had already trained his body far passed human limits, it should be possible for him to learn how to use touki if he started to apply himself to it.
Surprisingly, even Rias knew what she was talking about, which was odd because devils never trained themselves to the limits of their physical bodies. A requirement for a species without Senjutsu in order to use touki, meaning she knew somebody that could use it. That didn't matter though.
It was time for her to become truly serious in Naruto's training.
