A King for a Pawn
Chapter 6: Rivalry & Familiars
I do not own Naruto or High School DxD
Beat-ed by Silvdra-Zero and I thank him again for his good work.
Fun chapter here I hope lets see how it goes
XChapter StartX
Walking up in the morning was at times annoying for one Rias Gremory, mainly as a result of being a teen who enjoys sleeping in and staying comfy with her pillow. Sadly for Rias it wasn't Saturday so she had to get out of her extremely comfy bed and start the day, throwing off her sheets and stretching her arms out as she sat up naked as the day she was born.
She walked straight out the door and to the bathroom without a care her gentle bosom bouncing as she went. Looking down she wondered if they felt a little bigger so gave them a cup and lifted to see any weight change. Anyone walking by would be mystified seeing the teen groping herself naked in the hallway but thankfully it was early so only two people were up aside from herself.
As the water cascaded down her body her mind wandered to the idea she came up with to thank Naruto for all he had done of late, plus letting her stay up late and play the new game. Luck was on her side as there was a light amount of homework that day that wasn't due for a few days.
'I'm very lucky that we all get on so well, but next time I'm getting that lap pillow its unfair my queen and my rook have gotten the chance while their king hasn't.' of course Rias was pouting at the minor jealousy, but it was to be expected she was a greedy devil like many after all.
Getting dressed she made her way down stairs to find Naruto and Raynare, but the latter was helping him it seemed like he'd given her some more duties. At the moment she was stirring the miso soup.
"Morning Rias, tea or juice this morning?" Naruto asked as the teen sat down at the table.
"Juice please, orange if possible." Naruto just smiled a lil more hearing her choice. He turned away from the cooking fish and poured her a glass.
"Orange is always an option in my house. Still a little groggy from last night's gaming?" Rias shook her head as she took her first sip letting the cold juice slip down her throat, no pulp, excellent.
"No, I recover best at night so sleep gave me a full heal. But later when we're in the club room I will have something to ask you and Raynare-san." Rias nodded turning back to his instruments of cookery.
The aroma of the food brought down the rest of the peerage. "Ara, looks like I missed you cooking again Naruto-sensei, what a shame." It was really starting to tick her off that her teacher was able to cook such wonderful meals without her being able to pick up any hints or tricks.
"If you hadn't ended up playing longer than Rias did, you might have slept better and been up earlier Akeno." Naruto said as he poured her tea while giving her and Koneko their fish breakfasts, something that made Koneko's eyes light up at.
"Mu~ you don't have to be so brutally honest about it Naruto-sensei." Akeno said her smile dipping a little.
"But you like it brutal Akeno." Rias said getting her own back against her queen, something she rarely got to do.
"Buchou don't be so mean so early."
"Oya, Bucho and Akeno-sempai are so lively this morning."
"Gaming too much." Koneko chimed in being fully aware of how much each of them got into their games.
"Yes well that was last night and you all have school this morning so finish your food so we can all get going." Naruto said taking a sip of the soup. 'Hmmm not bad for her first try.' Looking over he could tell the weight seals were still tiring out Raynare but she was getting used to them a bit more. If things worked out well he'd take her to the next level for combat.

Issei had had a simpler morning with his alarm clock waking him up and just enjoying the morning with the three beautiful girls now living in his home, one of who didn't mind his antics and the other whose oppai he'd actually felt. As a result it was a glorious morning all the same.
Now though he, Asia, and the rest of the peerage were in the clubroom as Rias had said she wanted to tell him about something. "So Bucho-san are there some changes, for our flyer deliveries?"
"Actually this will be the last week of you all delivering flyers. As I said before answering summons is what we devils do, but for handing out flyers we use our familiars." Rias explained looking toward Naruto on the couch with Koneko and Akeno getting attention. She really was going to have to restrict their petting times.
"Wait familiars might you mean that all of us…"
"That's right we going to get you all your familiars." Rias said smiling holding out her hand and out poofed a small bat familiar. "This is my familiar, you've met her before haven't you Issei?"
Issei looked confused before the bat changed into a human adult form, which he recognized as the one who handed him the flyer that brought him into the devil way of life.
"This one is mine." Akeno pointed to the floor where a small seal lit up and out popped a small green imp like creature.
This is Shiro." Turning to Koneko Issei and the rest of the group saw adorable white kitten familiar with bells around its neck. Naruto quickly was petting it on the head making it purr.
"And mine is…" Kiba started but was cut off by Issei.
"Nah we don't need to s-mphhhh" his head was placed under Naruto foot forcing him to the floor.
"Don't be rude, what is your familiar Kiba?" a few shuddered at how fast Issei's face had hit the floor but suffice to say Shiro was missing her petting already.
"Here he is." Kiba produced a majestic falcon, which got tossed a treat by Naruto from where no one asked.
"Your familiar is a fundamental part of being a devil. Your familiar can bring you information or deliver messages." Rias explained petting her own familiar on the head.
"Um but how exactly do we go about obtaining our familiars?" Asia asked a bit worried of whether she would have to fight to obtain a cute familiar for herself.
"Well, you see…" Akeno poked Rias' shoulder before she could elaborate, as there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Akeno called out as the doors opened to reveal Souna or rather Sona. Along with what appeared to be the student council.
"Excuse me." The Student Council President said politely upon entering. "I heard you obtained new peerage members so I wanted to introduce everyone properly, including to you Uzumaki-sensei."
"Mah, might as well considering you are the other devil peerage in the school." Naruto said getting a confused look from Issei. "Issei, Asia; Souna here is both the student council president and the heir to the Sitri devil clan name."
"Wow to think there are other devils in this school." Issei voiced his surprise getting a scoff from one of the student council members.
'Makes sense I suppose, most devils have territories but some share with allies and alike. And I'm one of them now… still need to get used to that.' Kalawarner thought to herself.
"Didn't you tell them about us, Rias-sempai, Naruto-sensei?" the blonde male of Sona's peerage asked. "It also concerns me that fellow devils didn't even notice our existence."
"Saji, we have decided to turn a blind eye on each other. It's only natural that Hyoudou-kun would not know about us. And Uzumaki-sensei respects our privacy like we will his, understood." Sona said with a bit of sharpness entering her professional tone at the end.
"Wait, aren't you the guy who recently joined the student council? From class 2-C right?" Issei asked the boy remembering when the beauty pageant that was the student council, had been polluted by the blonde boy, thus earning many a jealous stare when it first happened.
"Saji Genshiro, he's my pawn." Sona explained keeping it short and to the point.
"This is my pawn, Hyoudou Issei, behind him are my Bishop Asia Argento and my more recent pawns Kalawarner and Mittelt." Rias introduced them with the girls offering a small nod to their fellow devils.
"So you're a pawn too? We're so similar!" Issei exclaimed happy to see a fellow low piece.
Saji gave a smug smile as he replied. "To be called similar to the swine, who's part of the most perverted trio on campus, my pride has been deeply wounded."
"What was that!?" Issei was really pissed at being called swine and for insulting his friends, despite it being accurate of them being the most perverted, but it was the principal of the matter.
"Oh want to fight? I may be a beginner, but I've already got four pieces under my belt." Saji held up his hand, which was grabbed and squeezed by Naruto holding a pleasant smile.
"There will be no fights in this club house while I'm around, and don't go insulting fellow students Genshiro-san, I'm still a teacher and my detentions are the regular kind, trust me you won't like any of them. Oh and its Uzumaki-sensei to you, and you got a C on your last test, try and do better with your English." Naruto said bringing the fear into Saji's eyes.
Off to the side Akeno rubbed her thighs together watching the display.
"Thank you for stopping him Uzumaki-sensei. And Saji, Hyoudou-kin claimed eight pawn pieces." Sona replied as Saji's hand was released and Naruto conjured up a seat for himself, which Koneko was quick to hop onto his lap along with Shiro, so both could get a petting. Rias showed a great deal of restraint in the fact her eyes didn't twitch.
"E-Eight, but that's all of them. How does she have those two new pawns as well?" Saji questioned, rightfully so in this case however.
"An incident recently had the result of them being added to my peerage by the rule of one of the four Maou." Rias could have explained more but saw no need right now though.
"Well Hyoudou-kun, Argento-san I hope you can get along well as fellow pieces. And I hope that our dealings will continue to be pleasant Uzumaki-sensei." She bowed to her teacher, ignoring the girl and cat in his lap receiving lavish attention.
"It's fine, and feel free to call me Naruto if you wish Sona same to you Tsubaki." Naruto addressed the president and vice president with the respect they had earned as hard working students in his class and as tough rulers of the school when teachers were too busy.
"Thank you Uzu…Naruto-sensei." He offered her a small smile to Sona, "But who is the girls standing at your side now?"
"Raynare, ward of Naruto-sama, a representative of the Campione in question." Raynare bowed her head knowing she had to be respectful of all parties since she in a way she was part of Naruto's peerage, but obviously very different. "Please treat me well Sona-san."
"Hmmm, very well so what were you doing Rias?" Sona asked while Saji and Issei seemed to be having a minor scuffle, each one attempting to crush the others hand via hard squeezing, a rather sad display, but Saji did essentially introduce himself when Naruto wasn't looking to the three new members and also flirt with, but one was naïve to it and the other wanted to smack him, but Issei this time intervened.
"I planned for my peerage to get their familiars. This weekend too but I'm taking Naruto-sensei along as thanks for his aid during recent events." Rias said as Sona held her chin in thought.
"I see, I planned the same for my members and here is only one time in the month to obtain familiars too." Sona gave Rias a look, which was challenged instantly.
"In that case, how about we have a duel to determine who gets their familiars first?" Rias offered to her childhood friend.
"A duel?"
"Whoever wins gets permission to claim their familiars this weekend." Rias elaborated for Sona.
"I hope you didn't have a Rating Game in mind…" Rias just giggled and waved her hand dismissively.
"I would never, for starters I could never get permission for that."
"That's true. And besides, there's your health to consider." Instantly Rias' eyes sharpened at the hidden jab thrown at her.
She looked to Naruto who didn't seemed to have caught on as she closed her eyes for a moment. "That has nothing to do with it. However seeing as we are still in high school we should settle it though sports, Naruto-sensei, would you be willing to referee a match, I know you'll be impartial."
"Of course, I'll ring ahead to reserve the court and… make minor preparations." For some reason, Saji and Issei shuddered at his words and didn't know why. Naruto himself was wondering what Sona had meant and if it had something to do with what was bothering his student of late.

The tennis court was full of excitement as the four most beautiful girls of the school were dressed for battle, so it was nice tops with short skirts with frilly underwear underneath. Naruto was in his umpire's chair holding strange switch in his hand, Koneko oddly had been called in for ball holder so was next to his chair happily snacking on strawberries and cream, which Naruto had prepared.
"So can I expect a good clean match from both teams?" Naruto said tilting his hat to block out the sun, it really was perfect weather for the sport. He got nods from the two as he started the match each volleying at a good pace that could be on professional levels.
"Wow as much as I want Buchou to win I don't want to see this match end." Issei said taking good looks at the frilly panties when exposed. With his former compatriots beside him with binoculars doing the same, some things never changed.
"I wonder why Naruto-sensei suggested we not get too close to the fence of the court?" Mittelt asked aloud getting used to call the man that, even if she wasn't learning anything new she was getting a challenge with her workload as he slipped her harder passages.
"Might not have to wait to find out, any guesses Mr. knight?" Kalawarner asked not ready to call Kiba by his first name.
"Knowing Naruto-sensei… something painful… I wonder why we didn't get any strawberries?" He did notice Koneko was the only one to get the fruity treat.
"You do remember she is his favorite to spoil, right Kiba-san?" Raynare pointed out to the blonde teen, who gave a nod as it did happen a lot.
As all the males stuck their faces close to the metal just hoping to get a little closer. Naruto raised his hand with the remote as he awarded Rias' team their point making it deuce. Pressing the button the entirety of the males' perving received a fairly non-life threatening series of shocks. Evidently Naruto had booby-trapped the fence to shock perverts, sports was no place for perverts.
"Idiots." Koneko managed to pipe as she licked the cream off her fingers.
'Akeno please do not get distracted right now, Souna's not gonna prevent herself from losing and is likely to start using magic any second.' Rias though hoping her thought would reach Akeno who was indeed distracted to the shocked victims via Naruto's cunning trap. All the boys in pain at the touch a button; so simple, yet effective.
Tsubaki though was impressed at how simple a concept had taken out all the men leering at her and her King. Truly the Campione who was also her teacher had some skills in planning ahead and thus Strategy, her king would have a tough time beating him in a official match of chess.
As the match went on Naruto and the other devils not playing took note of the increased strength used by each girl, to the point where minor magic spells were being used to power up the shots and serves. Of course this only increased the excitement for the people watching and/or perving at the lacy panty being exposed.
The battery for the controller was running dry by the end of the match, which ended in a draw when both Sona and Rias' rackets were destroyed when each had either shot a too powerful magic shot or trying to send the shot back, Akeno and Tsubaki's rackets faired no better. If he was honest Naruto ended the match more out of pity as a professional grade tennis match had turned magic happy fairly quickly.
After clearing away the destroyed equipment and taking the charred bodies of the perverted male students away to heal their bodies, Naruto and the rest headed back to the clubroom.
"So there wasn't a winner at the end of that, kinda makes the whole match pointless doesn't it?" Mittelt said eating some cake that Naruto had made, sharing with Koneko, the cream and strawberries had filled her a little so could share this time.
"Is there going to be a different sport match to decide who wins?" Issei asked trying not to gush at the cuteness factor of the two lolis of the club. Asia was at his side and was doing a good unintentional job of distracting him.
"I believe Buchou and Akeno-san are currently meeting with Sona-sempai to discuss a group match with her peerage." Kiba said just as Rias and Akeno came back into the room and eyes glittered seeing the cake on the table, well Rias' eyes glittered more.
"Well we've settled on dodge ball, with Naruto-sensei as referee once again. The duel will take place tomorrow night in the gym. So lets do our best so that you can gain your familiars and to thank Naruto-sensei too." Rias said as Naruto cut the two slices for Rias and Akeno.
"Well if that's that lets finish this off and you can all get some sleep for tomorrow, I'm sure Asia-chan can learn the rules as its likely she hasn't played the sport before." The blonde nun poked her fingers together at the truth of that matter. "Hmmm… what to make tonight…?"
"Ah Naruto-san, we need to pick up groceries first." Raynare pointed out recalling the state of the panty before they left the house that morning.
"True, well I guess I'll decide when I'm there. Anyone wanna help me carry the stuff back?" Koneko and Akeno were the first to raise their hands, which neither took well and ended up in staring contest between them. Although he was unsure if Akeno was cheating using her closed-lid, smiling expression.
"I'll go with you Naruto-sensei." Rias said sniping at the opportunity to spend a bit more time with him. The other members of her peerage gave her a glare, but turned to their cake slices, as chocolate would quell the rage for the moment.
Cake, its always the answer and that's no lie.
Anyway once at the shop Naruto was picking out meat and vegetables. "So how much defense, am I going to have to put up for yours and Sona's match Rias?" Naruto asked checking the quality of the fish on display.
"Eh, do you expect our match to be that bad Naruto-sensei?" Naruto just gave her a look glad he had made a minor barrier as a way for people to ignore any use of magic. Genjutsu had its uses still even if minor ones were the best he could use even now. All his authorities had perfect control; chakra control still sucks. What sense does that make? "Alright… just enough to protect the gym I suppose. Hopefully we won't go too far."
"You have Akeno the sadist, two fallen angel hybrids, Koneko, Kiba and the teen who can't help but stare at anything remotely perverted. Then there is the student council who if Sona is leading will be tough and do a lot to win." Naruto explained picking up some milk with Rias adding some eggs to his basket. "I'm decent at barriers as I have practice with a very good one, we should be fine."
"Well at least I can feel relaxed that we won't destroy the gym, when we won we'd have probably destroyed the whole hall." Rias said as Naruto paid for the items and once outside placing his bags in his gate.
"So how do you feel about sukiyaki?" Naruto enjoyed the excited nod from Rias; she seriously loved Japan and all that came with it. "Been a while since I made it… maybe I should get Raynare to help me."
"You just want to keep Akeno from watching you cook don't you?" Rias asked deadpanned of her teacher who let himself chuckle a little knowing he did relish teasing the sadist, playing her at her own game.
'Keep doing that and she'll never let you out of her site.' Rias knew her best friend and did worry how attached she'd get, not that she wasn't too attached herself on some level.

"Well at least you always have a teacher for crazy stuff like this Rias, How are you going to deal with the uneven numbers?" Naruto asked Rias in her tracksuit along with the rest in theirs.
"I've asked Sona to have them perform managerial tasks, at least with Mittelt and Kalawarner I have a couple more players." Rias said passing the ball back and forth between herself and Kalawarner. Koneko was stretching out Issei while Akeno did the same for Asia.
"It's been a long time since I last played dodge ball, probably not since middle school." Issei said resisting the urge to grunt in pain as Koneko pushed him further forward with his legs wide open.
"Since we just want to determine a winner and loser, a game with simple rules is ideal." Rias said before catching the ball from Kiba now.
"Even Asia-san learned the rules in no time and Kalawarner-san and Mittelt-san were no trouble either." Kiba commented looking at Raynare who seemed to be reading a scroll of sorts, but in her own tracksuit as well despite not taking part. He wondered what Naruto was teaching her and if he'd crossed swords with her yet as his skills surpassed his own.
"Ahhh… I can't go any further." Asia moan in pain as Akeno pushed on her back, both in simple school issued gym clothes, which consisted of a white shirt that had the school emblem on it and bloomers.
"Let's try just a bit more, dear." Akeno said gently no doubt enjoying the small adorable squeaks of pain, she wasn't a sadist queen for nothing.
"O…kay…" Asia moaned again as she bent even further forward, while Issei looked on and got the look that everyone in the peerage knew too well at this point, perverted imaginations.
"Koneko-chan!" Rias and Naruto said together seeing the boy nearly drooling and the white haired girl pushed hair and some might have heard something break, nothing too serious. At least Issei hoped.
After leaving him to heal he eventually started handing out headbands to his fellow peerage members. "Headbands?" Rias questioned looking at the white clothes that had Team Oka imprinted on them.
"Ara, Ara how lovely…"
"I stayed up all night making them." Issei said getting looks from his fellow houseguests not knowing he'd done that.
"You can actually sow… and sow well at that?" Mittelt said surprised, as honestly she had no talent for it.
"Well I've had to fix my uniform sometimes when it got torn up from girls attacking me…" he hung his head in slight shame, not for what he did or rather for getting caught by Naruto. "I've gotten better at it though, is it really that surprising."
"Yes!" Kalawarner and Mittelt piped in unison. Although if he could sow he might be able to make adjustments for their outfits and uniforms as it was either too tight or too loose for them.
"Aren't you tired Issei-kun?" Rias asked as the teen look in perfect health.
"Well seeing you and Akeno-sempai work so hard for our sakes yesterday, along with everyone else today. I just wanted to do a little something for everyone." Asia came next to him and pressed her hands into his side, wanting be close to the kind boy she'd fallen for. "But… um was it lame to make the headbands"
The two former fallen took the headbands and put them on, since he had worked hard for them. "Since they are well made and all I guess they are ok."
"I may have a job for you later if your skills are this good." Kalawarner said tightening her own headband.
"Unexpected; but a feat outside of my expectations of you." Koneko said with a small smile.
"Well let's tie these on and really feel some team solidarity." Rias followed the examples by her pawns.
"Sorry for the wait." Sona's voice echoed in the gym hall as she made her appearance.
"Well now that both teams are here please take your positions and I'll run through the rules. Now the match continues until all of one team are out or you run out of time. I'll make the decision if someone is out, but if the ball makes contact you are out. I hope there won't be any unusual techniques used, but in case there are there is a barrier to protect the gym. If time runs out the team with the most players still on the field of play wins. Is everyone clear?"
"Yes Naruto-sensei!" wad the general response from both teams. Nodding Naruto took out his flag to wave.
"Very well then… Begin the match between the peerage of Sona and Rias!" both teams ran to get the balls and the match went underway quickly both dodging attacks.
Eventually Tsubasa, Sona's Rook managed to score a hit on Koneko which ended up skimming her shirt as she bent back to avoid it revealing her white polka-dot bra.
"Koneko, Out!" Naruto called as she nodded and moved off the floor. The girl moved next to stand by Naruto who took off his jacket to preserve her decency. "You alright?" the girl nodded.
"Take this on!" Tsubaki managed to charge the ball with magic as she threw it, aiming at Rias who caught it, but the magic gave her tracksuits some rips.
"Impressive, you caught Tsubaki's serve full-on." Sona complimented her rival.
"Who the hell do you think I am?" Rias smirked back at her already drawing some magic to charge the ball.
'Not Kamina' Naruto thought to himself, he needed to finish that model soon. Rias returned the ball charging it with the power of destruction. Tomoe was the target and the red head tried to catch the ball and ended up getting her entire outfit destroyed, except her panties for some reason.
Seeing the exposed body though distracted Issei and Reya seeing the opportunity aimed for the back of the boy's head but had Kalawarner intercept. "Don't get distracted pervert!" she said as he chest jiggled from the force of the ball.
"H-Hai!"
From there things turned more magic crazy as each team used stranger techniques to try and fell the other team, from thunder magic, light magic and fire magic, nothing seemed to be off limits and Naruto just shook his head at the event while in his own protective barrier watching the attacks bounce off the walls.
After a while the numbers on each team dwindled until its was Sona and Saji vs. Rias, Asia, Kalawarner and Issei.
"Kaicho, we should focus on taking out Hyoudou first." Saji suggested which Sona seemed to agree on as she jumped high charging her new attack.
"Demonic spin-ball of death!" the ridiculously named attack turned out to be a seeker missile or seeker dodge ball in this case and Issei started running to avoid his inevitable 'death by dodge ball'. Said death came when the ball caught him in the place all men fear being hit, his groin and like most men, he was holding them in pain, making sure everything was still there and not pulverized.
"Issei-kun, let me use twilight healing on you, show me where it hurts." Asia said with such a soft caring expression, unaware of what she was basically asking him but thankfully Issei had enough sense to know and stop it going too far.
"Ahh there's no need for that Asia-chan."
"But if I can't see the injury I cant heal it properly." He healer insisted wanting to do her part.
"The object is currently in a hideous state so I don't want to show it to anyone." Lucifer bless Issei for being kind enough to not take advantage of the situation.
"Oh, well I work over the clothes then." Cut to Issei spread legs and Asia holding her hand above his groin and using her sacred gear to heal him.
"Why is it life can be like a romantic comedy anime sometimes?" Naruto questioned face palming at the scene, Koneko at the side getting some head petting as she had done her best.
When the match resumed with Asia now healing Issei, Kalawarner was the first to throw and hit Saji, dead centre in his nuts as well making him collapse and the fallen angel grin in victory.
"Looks like you're the only one left Sona. Any last words?" Rias asked ready to go one-on-one with her rival; despite having Kalawarner still on the field.
"Only that the real battle begi-"
"Overtime!" Naruto called out ending the match and cutting Sona off surprising the student council president. "The match ends with Team Rias winning."
The peerage celebrated to them selves as Naruto came over t the captains. "So it's agreed, my peerage will be getting their familiars first."
Naturally, although I do feel bitter, I did enjoy myself. Thank you again for refereeing Naruto-sensei." Sona bowed her head to the teacher who just smiled.
"I'm just glad the gym is still in one piece. But knowing your competitive steak along with Rias' I guess I should not surprised, only that you couldn't' recall how much time you had left." He chuckled, as Sona looked away in mild embarrassment, having never been late for any of his assignments him calling her on time management was awkward for her pride.
"Well if this had been a rating game instead of this childish game then I wouldn't have lost." Sona claimed but Rias just happily smiled back.
"And neither would I! I could not let an old friend of mine outshine me. Especially in front of our club advisor and my new members. But it seems things won't be settled until the distant future."
"Very true, I'll be taking my leave now." Sona left to follow the rest of her peerage while the club adjourned to Naruto's home after Naruto and Rias went to fetch something from the clubhouse.
Of course celebrations were cut short when Rias announced they'd be leaving to get their familiars since it was a full moon already. "Are you ready to join us Naruto-sensei, Raynare-san?" Rias asked as she began creating the teleportation circle.
"We are, just curious one what we'll find as our familiars." Naruto said allowing the portal to take him and his charge to the different realm.
"I'm sure the pet master can suggest something, I'm sure he'll have never have found one for someone like you. Although do campione ever really have familiars?" Rias questioned and both him and Raynare shook their heads, the latter having read up during periods of rest when training at the resort.
"No, the closest you'll get is if an authority is that of a beast that you can call upon but its nothing like devil familiars." The teleportation ended and the group was in a large dark forest.
"So what exactly is this place?" Issei asked looking around curious as did Asia and the two fallen.
"This is the forest where pets are created." Akeno explained before Kiba added his own comment.
"We found our familiars here."
"I'm surprised, look like anything might pop up around here." Issei said as Asia moved a little closer to him in slight fear of the unknown.
"Hmm despite the dark atmosphere it feels very peaceful." Naruto mumbled to himself, wondering what sage mode would feel like here. "Hmm… whose that there?" Naruto pointed to an oddly dressed man in the trees feeling his presence.
"Yo good job spotting me. I'm pet master Zatouji." Zatouji had red hair with a baseball cap turned round so some of it came out the hole. His attire consisted of a plain white vest, fingerless gloves, shorts and a yellow backpack. Looking at the man had various thought from the newcomers.
'Ahh that reminds me, need to pre-order Alpha sapphire.'
"Pet master?" Asia and Issei said together, it seemed hard to believe that such a goofy looking guy was the so-called familiar master or pet master as he called himself.
"Ahh what a beautiful full moon tonight, it's the perfect night for pet hunting." Zatouji gestured to himself. "With me by your side, you can get any pet you want!" the man made the letter 'g' with his hands.
"He's been on his own a while hasn't he?" Raynare whispered to Kalawarner who waved her hand in a maybe sign.
"He is a professional in regards to familiars." Akeno reassured them knowing how the man came off after the first trip here.
"Now then, what kind of pet do you wish for? A fast one, strong one, or a poisonous one?" he offered and Issei quickly was the one to responded with a red face.
"Let's see… any cute familiars? Particularly female?" Naruto slapped the back of his head.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk. Nothing like that. A pet should be brave and strong! A pet that can cut his powers in half and benefit you…" Zatouji declared to the group, in an almost kabuki pose.
"Umm… I would also like a cute pet." Asia said shyly and instantly the man's demeanor changed.
"Okay dear!" he said smiling making Naruto's eyes twitch.
"Thank you very much!"
'Pervert…' several of them thought as the man hopped down in front of Naruto.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Naruto-san, I would offer my advice but someone of your experience should be able to find a pet of your own, feel free to roam the forest if you wish." Zatouji showed a lot of respect to Naruto.
"Thank you, Raynare you stay with them and shoot a spear up if you get in trouble." Naruto said getting a nod and with that he jumped into the trees letting the flow of the forest take him.
"Zatouji-san?" Rias gave the man a look seeing his reaction to Naruto.
"That man… I have heard tales of him, there were rumors he is one with nature, more so than I could ever be with this forest so it is honestly better he looks on his own." Zatouji said before smiling at the group. "Right then lets go find you your pets!"
XBreakX
"Hmmm, where to go, where to go…?" Naruto wondered flowing through and across the trees like a breeze, old habits taking hold from his early years as a ninja. The whole place was like back when he was in senjutsu training, but much livelier with all of the creatures about it.
As he went he avoided the several beasts that lunged for him only pushing them to the side as he made his way to a huge lake. "It's like her lake, I haven't spoken to her in ages thinking about it, not since the true one was broken. Oh what's this?" looking over Naruto saw a small blog sitting at the edge of the lake it was pale blue but had a green antennae. "A slime?"
The slimed turned its form and looked at Naruto with emerald eyes. The antennae waved at him and Naruto did the same coming over to the small slime finding it a lot friendlier than anything else. "Hello there, I take it your after some water?" the slime nodded. "But why aren't you drinking from the lake?"
The slime dipped its antennae into the lake where it quickly lost all form. "Oh too much and you rapidly dispipate… I think, I have some water with me." Rummaging around in his storage he pulled out not a bottle but a small bowl which he filled with some water and gave the slime a straw. Said slime was quick to take the straw into its mouth and absorb all the moisture into its mouth and make it slightly bigger.
"Nice to see you liked that little one. You know most video games have slimes as basic enemies, but your rather cute really." Naruto said with a chuckle as the slime moved to nuzzle his leg as he sat crossed legged. "I'm Naruto by the way." He held out his hand and the slime created a small limb to shake with.
The moment was spoiled by a loud roar as a large scaled beast jumped out from the trees looking mighty pissed. "A Wyvern, female too and looking angry and from the amount of drool I'd guess hungry too." Naruto muttered standing up but the slime moving to hid behind his leg in fear of the predator.
"Don't worry I've handled worse." The dragon charged forward extending it large wings ready to tackle him but Naruto raised his hand. "Garden of thorns." His voice was soft but the ground erupted in roses with very sharp thorns along the stems of the flowers.
The wyvern was trapped and struggled in the thorns, which were digging into its hard skin. "Looks a little small though, I think it's a baby… why would it be- Oh no." a larger roar vibrated through the air and Naruto watched at what was likely the mother wyvern appeared from the sky next to its trapped baby and tore through the thorns easily.
"I really thought my magnet for trouble wouldn't work when I'm in nature. Guess I was wrong what was it chasing though, a slime is one thing but I doubt it's the main target, no offense." Naruto said down to the slime only to notice something else hiding behind his leg. "Who are you?"
"Please protect me, that wyvern has been chasing me after I accidentally walked into its territory looking for food." The Little girl has green hair and leaf clothing covering her small frame, like another Koneko. He also took note of the bark where her skin was.
"What's a dryad doing out here?" Naruto asked now recognizing the species of sentient plant life that were know as protectors of the forest.
"Please sir the monster is coming at us!" the Dryad shouted pointed as Naruto looked forward at both dragon-kin charging but he snapped his fingers and both were wrapped in chains.
"Don't worry its just a little mad, now how did you end up here?" Naruto asked curious to the girl's origin.
"I can't remember I think I was planted in the forest but it's too wild and water is sparse with it usually in monster territory I haven't been able to grow at all. I-I-I'm scared of everything here!" she shouted clutching his shirt as he crouched down, but Naruto put a hand behind her head.
"Calm down I'll keep you safe." The slime moved to the top of the Dryad's head. "Looks like this one wants, to help you as well. But if you want you can come with me as I'm looking for a familiar but I'd rather have some friends if your ok to live with me." both stared up at the blonde before nodding.
"I'll be happy to go with you… master." The dryad said before Naruto rubbed her hair and the same to the slime.
"Just call me Naruto, now since I doubt you can run too fast, so climb on my back, but do either of you have names?" both shook their head as Naruto adopted thinking look.
"Hmm how about Suu and Kii? Simple but rather cute which I think will suit you both." The now named Kii smiled blushing as Naruto turned round and she climbed on his back and Suu sliming to attach herself to his head. "Well let's see how much trouble Issei has gotten himself into, and introduce you both."
The blonde and his new familiar went in search of his devil party.
XBreakX
"Really, I leave you for what twenty minutes give or take and you end up in this situation?" Naruto asked resisting the temptation to face palm as most of Rias' peerage was currently covered in green slime that evidently was eating through their clothes while Issei and Zatouji stood there looking with bloody noses.
"Buchou… I think I want this slime as a familiar!"
"No Issei, a pet can make or break a devil's power!" Rias shouted between moaning already down to her bra and panties. "Please put more thought into this!"
"Sorry Naruto, they surprised us all and they attacked our weak points." Raynare said down to only her panties, exposing her wings to cover herself.
"Huh… who have you got there, campione-san?" Naruto looked to Zatouji looking at Kii and Suu.
"My familiars, just protected them from a wyvern mother and daughter. Hmm Suu can you do anything about this?" the little slime saluted wit her antennae as she jumped to Koneko and quickly started to absorb the slime off her body growing a little more.
She was fast to do the same with Raynare, Mittelt and Kalawarner. "Huh, she can absorb other slimes she must be a much purer slime as she is sentient too. Was she trying to get water when you found her?" Zatouji asked as Kalawarner slapped Issei over the head for not helping and wanting to claim the pervy slime.
"Yes, she could go into the lake otherwise shed' be spread out too thin." Zatouji nodded hearing this.
"Then that slime is a pure water slime, it can digest anything, but can survive off water to grow in size but they can absorb lower level slimes to grow as well into a stronger form like yours is doing.
"No! Sli-Sli don't get beaten by the other slime!" Issei whined as he held his head in pain while the scene was breaking his heart. By the time Suu was finished taking all the other slimes Suu was the same size as Kii standing up and walking back to Naruto and with her new face and cute nose gave him a smile.
"Thank you Suu. But I think you missed someone." He pointed to Asia oddly more clothed than the rest of them but Issei was quick to embrace the girl to protect the slime that remained.
"Please don't take this slime away from me, it was destiny that had us meet." Issei cried out in tears of his perfect familiar being taken away and also that Naruto had gotten a cute slime girl too. "This is Fate, we are no longer strangers!" while he proclaimed this Asia was blushing from the warm hug she was getting.
"This is the first time I've seena devil want something so pointless at least Naruto-san has the pure slime which can learn to speak and be a much better pet. Guess it takes all sorts to make the world, but we also have a dryad with us too." Zatouji shook his head at Naruto finding such rare familiars on his own, evidently the forest picked out a nice pair for him to take care of.
"He'd usually such a good boy, But too often he's a little too honest with his desires. Also thank you for your aid Suu-san, and what's your name?" Rias asked giving Issei a pitying look before turning to Naruto new friends.
"Kii."
"Ara, Ara what an adorable name, it suits you very well." Akeno said coming over to have a look at the shy creature. Koneko was shaking hands with Suu only for her hand to slip into the slime.
"It's who he is Issei, its part of his power but yeah I've had to deal with this side of him too often." Naruto said giving Issei the same look.
"Buchou, Naruto-sensei, please don't give me those looks! I swear I'll make this slime fly!" sadly for Issei the slime was torched by a shock of lightning that got him as well sending him to the floor and letting go of Asia. Looking up you could see a small blue dragon flying around.
"The Sprite Dragon's electric attack." Rias noted seeing the dragon Issei tried to claim before the slime attack.
"Sli-Sli… you bastard!" Issei got shocked again and it was lucky his body was a little used to punishment now from the workouts and previous cases of getting beaten up for perving.
"Issei-san!" Asia moved over, but the sprite dragon then landed on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck a little.
"Hmm sprite dragons are only violent in defense. It must have thought the boy and the slime were attacking the blonde girl." The dragon when offered jumped into Asia's arms to receive a hug. "Looks like the pretty girl had her familiar too."
"Hmm what did Raynare, and the others get?" Naruto asked as Raynare unveiled her wings a little to reveal a small weasel, which had a sharp looking tail. "Kamitachi, interesting."
"I got Kuro here!" Mittelt revealed a small black wolf, which Koneko was glaring at a bit, if only slightly.
"I named her Iris." Kalawarner revealed an eagle with silver wings.
"Right so let's get to forging your pet contracts so its certified." Zatouji said as Naruto pulled out some clothes for the girls to wear to cover their exposed bodies. Those with familiars now found a wide-open space and created the contract seals for their chosen familiars.
"In the name of Asia Argento, um… I bind thee to me as my pet." The green seals closed around the little dragon that looked up at Asia after she finished her contract as did the others.
"Now it's done, good work, Asia-chan. Why haven't you done, your contract seal yet, Naruto-sensei?" Akeno asked while the dragon floated up to get a hug from Asia.
"It's a little different for me, so just watch." Closing his eyes Naruto created the seal for his new familiars. "By the powers of the earth, water, winds and fires I craft these contracts to those wishing to serve Uzumaki Naruto. Henceforth thy will be blessed with protections according to his authorities, all actions against them shall be a reflection of the campione. Do you both accept the contract?" Naruto asked lowering his hand to both which was taken by Suu and Kii.
"We do master." Kii spoke, as Suu didn't seem capable of speech yet.
"Then the contract is set, stand forth Uzumaki Suu, Uzumaki Kii." Both were shocked hearing that they were taking his name too.
'It's not unlike adopting someone into a noble family, take their name and be protected by them.' Rias though looking at the familiars Naruto had found a little jealous but she was a devil after all. They seemed sweet enough though and she probably would get along swimmingly with them.
"Wow that was so nice, wasn't it Raisei-kun?" Asia said petting the now named dragon's head more, said dragon lapping up all affection.
"Raisei?"
"Yes, because Rai means lighting in this country and well um I also borrowed from your name." Asia admitted a little embarrassed over her dragon's name, but Issei just waved her concerns away.
"Well I don't have a problem, nice to meet you Raisei-kun" Issei held out his hand and was instantly receiving a shock from Raisei.
"Hooo he's territorial over the girl isn't he Zatouji-san?" Mittelt asked petting little Kuro's head.
"Correct, but its more this male dragon hates all other males." Naruto came over and petted the dragon's head greeting him and didn't get a shock. "Well that's usually the case but Naruto-san is hardly a good benchmark for normality considering his familiars." Using the correct term as pet wouldn't give those two any justice at all.
"Well at least we know its best not to cross Raisei-kun, You and Kiba-kun should remember that Issei-kun."
"H-Hai Buchou-san." Issei wheezed out between coughs of smoke from being fried again.
"Asia… keep little Raisei-kun around more often, I think he'll be fun to treat and raise with our familiars." Kalawarner said grinning in an unsettling way not that Asia took note and nodded in agreement as she was sure Kuro And Iris would get along nicely with Raisei.
"Well if that's finished lets all head back home." Rias said creating the circle to take them home. Arriving at Naruto's home he took his familiars to get acquainted with their new room as he did have spares still although Kii seemed to want to head into the garden straight away.
It wasn't until a little later Naruto came down from putting his new familiars to bed that he found Rias staring at was a cold cup of tea. So getting a fresh put out Naruto sat beside his student and gave her a nudge. "So wanna tell me what has you so upset?"
XChapter EndX
Well I didn't expect this chapter to get written so fast but my mind was a blaze this last week or so and ths the familiars have been set with a few nice anime references pumped in for us to enjoy. But I did think hard about Naruto familiars which come from the manga series daily life with a monster girl, it's a good series but both are girls that will help Naruto open up about his past, eventually that is.
We will be getting the Riser arc next so that may take some time to write as I've never been the best for fighting scenes and coordinating all the members of the peerages among others things is going to be a challenge that I will tackle full on.
Sorry if your familiar idea didn't get used but I just thought about it and went with what felt right. Hope you'll all be patient for the next chapter as I plan to update highschool and aliens as well as help from a stranger next.
Wish all my readers and reviews the best for giving my story a bit of their time and to all the fans of Highschool DxD heard rumors of a third series confirmed so I will have more material very soon.
Until next time, Bye.
