Chapter 2: Coming Together...
Hello guys! Here's the next chapter, and some answers to reviews.
This will be a harem story, all members of Naruto's peerage will be in the harem as well as others. Lemons will be a thing.
Naruto does have a sacred gear, though it isn't a Longinus. He will only use it when he needs an extra boost and/or he's seriously pissed off.
Naruto's last peerage member is already chosen, and I'm sure that you won't see it coming, Muahahahaha...
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Highschool DxD, or any other anime or media that might appear.
Very Important Note!
I will go into Naruto canon first, then move into DxD after the Sasuke retrieval Arc. It'll go to the fight with Kokabiel, then into Shippuden.
Story time!
Namikaze House.
"M-mother?" Kushina said.
Everyone else in the house was stunned, this woman was Kushina's mother!?
"K-kushi-chan, is she really..." Minato asked, looking at his wife, the kids and Shizune were also staring at her with confusion.
Venelana looked at their surprised expressions and said, "You never told them? Not even your husband?"
Kushina looked down at the ground, sighed, and reached back to move her hair. As she pulled it aside, it revealed a small seal, it looked like it was mixed with a magic circle...
Kushina then placed two fingers on it and released it, the room was flooded with devil energy, Kushina's hair started to gain a small bit of the fullness that Rias and Venelana had, and she sprouted two devil wings.
"What the hell?!" Menma yelled.
"What's going on?" Nozomi said, getting scared.
Kushina looked at her kids and husband, she said, "I'm so sorry I never told you about this, I was just so afraid that you'd think I was a monster..."
Minato looked into her eyes and saw that she was still the woman he loved, he went over and wrapped her in a hug, the kids also went over and joined in the moment.
It was then that Venelana decided to interrupt, "Now then, time to get down to business... Kushina-chan, you had best tell them why you left the underworld."
Kushina nodded and led everyone back to the living room, Shizune however left to give the family some space. When they all got sat down, she explained that she was a devil, the middle child of the Gremory household. She also gave a bit of background, the great was, three factions and all that good stuff.
Then came the reason she fled the underworld...
"It was a few weeks before I came to Konoha... The devil high council had decided to ensure that none of the old satan faction could escape, so they decided to make me the jailer... My chains could suppress demonic energy, so they wanted me to stay down there for all eternity to guard them... Even if they let me out, it would only to become someone's trophy wife... I was scared, I didn't want to stay down in the dark, never getting to see the light of day again! I wanted to live, to fall in love, to see the world! So... I ran away, a few days after, I ran into some Uzumaki traveling around, I told them my story and they let me use their name. I was so scared of being found that I got a seal to suppress my devil nature, and it made me subconsciously avoid anything devil related... After Uzu was destroyed, I came here..."
Venelana nodded, "That also explains how you treated Naruto..."
Kushina's head snapped up at this, "Naruto... OH KAMI NARU-CHAN!" Kushina then jumped up from the couch and bolted for the door, she would have made it, if not for Venelana stopping her with a wall of PoD, "WHAT THE FUCK MOM!? I NEED TO FIND MY BABY!"
Venelana only pointed to Kushina's seat, "Naru-chan is safe. He's with us."
Kushina sat down as Minato, Nozomi, and Menma's eyes widened as they remembered him, Nozomi shared her mother's sentiments, "How could we have forgotten Nii-chan?"
"I think I know." Everyone looked to the Brunette as she explained, "Through simple genetics, Naruto was born more Devil than Human, so Kushina's seal would have caused her to avoid him. As for you Minato, Menma, and Nozomi, chakra was originally exclusive to the Shinju, a primordial being, so chakra is in a sense, divine in nature. Naruto gave off a bad vibe because his chakra and devil energy were fighting for control, then you add in that he didn't even know what was going on and he was never trained. The 'divine' energy of chakra reacted to Naruto's devil energy and projected the same kind of aura you feel when something very bad is about to happen. The chakra in others, including yourselves, picked up on this and caused you to steer clear."
Everyone took this in, then Kushina asked her mother, "Can we see him? Please..."
Venelana sighed and said, "I will talk to him about this, but don't expect him to come running right back."
Minato nodded and said, "Thank you, so much."
Menma was next, "This was a weird day..."
Nozomi walked right up and hugged Venelana, "You're the best Grandma ever!"
Venelana smiled at her and spent another hour there before going home.
Yokai Academy - School Festival.
Naruto was walking through the lanes of stalls and thinking about the future and his new pieces.
After the festival, they would be picking up Naruto's other pieces and going on a peerage vacation, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Yakumo, and Tenten were going to go on a 'camping trip' and use their teleportation circles to join him and the others. Just in case, Yakumo would also be putting up a strong genjutsu.
Also, they had learned something interesting about Moka. Turns out, that turning her into his rook shattered the Rosario's spell and fused her back together. Apparently the Rosario split her in two, locking one half away, and keeping the other free. Now that the Rosario was destroyed, she would be back to her original self.
Mizore was also ecstatic to discover that becoming a devil had extended her fertility period from a few years to a few centuries, so she wouldn't have to worry about being in an arranged marriage.
Naruto was also preparing himself for meeting the girl's parents. It wasn't so much Mizore's and Kurumu's mothers that scared him, it was Moka's father.
Though he had the feeling of impending doom telling him to be much more afraid of Mizore's and Kurumu's moms.
He had also gotten some things from his grandfather, like a scroll on magic for Kurumu, a battle kimono for Mizore, and a martial arts scroll for Moka.
They had been learning and training hard, and Naruto was really impressed!
As he was walking, he only sensed the missile headed for him just as it was about to hit him, "NARU-KOI!"
Oh yes, one thing he had forgotten to mention, Kurumu found out that he was her destined one. She had reacted to him when he held her after they fought, he knew that as a high class devil, that he could have more than one wife or concubine, he had told the girls as much, and they had seemed to accept it.
"Hello Kurumu-chan." Naruto said as she hooked her legs around his waist.
"My mother is so happy to get to meet you, she, Mizore, and her mother are all in the cafeteria, so onward!" Kurumu said pointing dramatically.
Naruto sighed and started walking.
...
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he saw...
...Not what he was expecting.
He saw what looked to be older versions of Mizore and Kurumu arguing about who was the better girl in school. Mizore noticed him and walked over, "They've been like this for a few minutes. Should we stop them?"
Naruto set Kurumu down and asked, "Have you told them about you being Devils? Or that I'm one?"
The two girls sheepishly shook their heads.
Naruto sighed as they watched the two woman argue about everything from fashion to test scores. They eventually stopped to notice that their daughters were standing there with a... very handsome boy.
"Well hello there~" Kurumu's mother purred, "I'm Ageha Kurono. Nice to meet you handsome."
"My name is Tsurara Shirayuki, it's so nice to finally meet you..."
Naruto smiled and said, "Naruto Gremory, nice to meet you."
The two women smiled back until they realized what he said, Tsurara spoke first, "D-d-did you say G-gremory?"
Naruto nodded and Mizore and Kurumu showed their new wings, needless to say, the women were shocked, but after they explained how the girls became devils and that they were completely fine, the two mothers calmed down.
With Moka.
Everyone's favorite vampire was currently standing nervously as a black limousine pulled up in front of her. The door opened and the first thing that she heard was, "DIE FAKE ONEE-SAMA!"
Moka only sighed at Kokoa's antics and kicked her over to the side, she then watched as a tall man with wavy silver hair stepped out of the limo, he was wearing a black suit and cape.
Issa looked at his daughter and immediately noticed something, "Moka, your Rosario..."
She responded with, "It was destroyed father, I am unharmed and back to my true self."
Issa narrowed his eyes and said, "Very well, now then..." He then narrowed his eyes, "Please tell me that the reason you smell like a devil is because you killed one."
Moka flinched and lowered her head, she then let her wings appear. Issa stared at them and then said, 'I hope you understand what you've done Moka. This is not something to be done lightly."
Moka looked her father in the eyes as she switched to her true form, "I know. I've made my choice."
They stared at each other for a minute before Issa said, "Fine, I know that you would not submit to anyone unless you wanted to. Now, let's go find your king."
Cafeteria - a few minutes later.
Naruto was in a tense situation, he was going to get some drinks for the girls when he found himself face to face with Issa Shuzen. Naruto gulped as the Vampire lord looked him over, finally, Issa spoke, "So... You're the one my daughter joined."
Naruto stood his ground and said, "Yes, I am. My name is Naruto Gremory."
Issa raised an eyebrow, "Gremory eh? I know that joining a peerage is irreversable, but I wish to make one thing clear." Issa stepped up to where the two were almost nose to nose, "If you hurt her... Then I'll hunt you down, and there won't be a single hole you can hide in to escape my wrath... Understood?"
Naruto still stood tall and said, "I would never lay a finger on her."
Issa seemed to accept this and said, "I'll leave her in your care then. I must be going now. Goodbye Moka."
"Goodbye father." Moka said from beside Naruto.
The next few hours were rather eventful, between Ageha trying to get Naruto to have his way with Kurumu, to Tsurara... doing the same for Mizore.
But, the time came when they had to leave, so after the parents had let, Naruto and the girls loaded up onto the bus and headed for the human world, and their vacation.
Karakura Town Airport.
Naruto and friends had just got off the plane in Karakura town, a lovely small city in Japan. Naruto and the girls were going to be staying at a property that the Gremorys owned, The girls were headed there now, Naruto had given them some markers to toss down and get the rest of the peerage there, while he was on his way to pick up his queen.
Naruto was walking through the streets of Karakura town in his casual clothes, well, casual for him. Naruto was wearing black slacks, black men's Chelsea Boots, a gray button down shirt with the top couple of buttons undone, and an burgundy suit vest with black trim.
As he was walking, he sighed as people started snapping pictures of him and whispering, most devils had covers in the human world, Naruto had one as 'Naruto Gremory, the greatest actor of the century'. That's right, Naruto is an actor, he had played in a few action movies as the star, he could really pull off the bad boy action hero look.
Naruto walked for a few minutes, ignoring the looks he was getting, until he reached his destination, Karakura high school.
Inside the school.
Orihime Inoue was excited, no, that didn't even begin to describe how she was feeling right now! Not just because she would have Friday off, but her king was coming to get her! As she thought about that, she couldn't help but think back to when Naruto found her...
It was a week after Sora-nii had died, she was crying outside their apartment, she had no idea what to do, she had no way of supporting herself, her parents were not an option. She and Sora were born to a drunken father and a prostitute mother who argued a lot and beat the two of them. As soon as Sora was 18, he took Orihime and ran away... (I'm not making this up, if you didn't know, this is actual Bleach canon.)
She was crying until he appeared. Naruto was standing over her and asking what was wrong, Orihime didn't know why, but she needed someone, anyone, to confide in. She told him her story and Naruto was both impressed that she could stay sane after all that, and sad for all that had happened to her.
So, he offered her a place in his peerage, as his queen. She had accepted, but chose to stay in Karakura town until it was time, so she could be close to her brother. She and Naruto had come up with a bogus story about a far off aunt who supported her, in reality, it was the Gremory family. Naruto stayed with her for a few months before he had to leave.
She had told her king about all the crazy things that had happened, hollows, soul reapers, she and her friends invading the seireitei. Even about the Head Captain not taking any chances and going full Bankai on Aizen's ass.
The four eyed fucker didn't last a minute.
Right now, Orihime was waiting at the school gate for her king, as she was waiting, her girlfriends came up to her. She truly loved her friends and hated having to keep this secret from them, hopefully when she explained after her vacation, they would understand.
One annoying thing was that everyone thought she had a crush on Kurosaki-kun. Sure she liked him as a friend and respected him, but she didn't like him like that!
She idly wondered how a fight between he and her king would go...
Tatsuki walked up and smiled at Orihime, "Hey, you ready to head off on your vacation?"
Orihime nodded and said, "Yep! I'm just waiting for an old friend to come pick me up!"
Rukia raised an eyebrow, "Old friend? Do we know him?"
Orihime was about to respond until Mahana squealed, "Oh my GOD! NARUTO GREMORY IS WALKING TOWARD OUR SCHOOL!"
The girls turned and saw that she was right! He was strolling up nonchalantly, Ryou was so shocked she couldn't speak, and Michiru was nearly hyperventilating.
Rukia was also surprised, she had seen a few of his movies and they were very good.
Tatsuki was secretly squealing in her head.
Chizuru tried to look apathetic, but she was trying not to run away from him...
Naruto walked right up to them, turned to Orihime and said, "Yo, Orihime-chan."
The girls were even more shell shocked when Orihime jumped up and pulled Naruto into a hug, when she was done, she turned to them and said, "See you all Monday!" Before taking Naruto's arm and dragging him away.
The girls all stood there, rebooting.
Gremory house... okay, mansion, let's be honest, it's a mansion.
Naruto and Orihime had just arrived at the front gate of a traditional Japanese style mansion. As soon as Naruto and Orihime entered the house, they heard everyone out in the backyard. As soon as Naruto walked out the back door, he was bombarded with hugs from his old friends from Konoha, "About time!" Ino said after they got off of him, all five had grown up nicely over the years.
All the girls were in casual clothes, Moka was wearing a red sleeveless shirt with silver sleeveless vest, and a black skirt with short spandex shorts underneath, with heeled sandals. Kurumu wore a halter top exposing her midriff and jean short shorts, with flip flops. Mizore wore a tank top, blue skirt with biker shorts underneath, and her usual striped stockings, with sandals. (The Konoha girls are in casual versions of their shippuden outfits.)
Sakura nearly crushed him with another hug, "It's so great to see you again!"
Hinata, still as shy as ever, though no stutter, said "We all missed you Naruto-kun." Naruto idly noticed that Kurumu was staring at Hinata's chest with disbelief.
"Hers are nearly as big as mine! How is that possible?!" Then she noticed Orihime, "The fuck!? My tits were the sexiest things I brought to the table, now these two show up with those!?" She then noticed Tenten giving her a knowing look, Kurumu chuckled nervously as Yakumo spoke up.
"It's so nice to be out of the house!" She said breathing the fresh air.
Naruto gained a sad expression, "How's it been? They at least let you outside right?"
Yakumo nodded, Naruto had told everyone about her family situation at some point, "Yeah, though I mostly just paint. It was a miracle that they even let me go on the bogus camping trip..."
Tenten walked up and put her arm around Yakumo's shoulder, "Suuuure, miracle by genjutsu?" Yakumo's blush and nervous expression was all the answer needed.
"How's your Ido been behaving?" Naruto asked.
"It's been very well actually, turns out that my Ido was was my own negative feelings given consciousness. We came to an understanding and now we work together... Though nobody in the clan believes me." She said with a downtrodden expression.
Naruto nodded and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, we can all relax for now. How have you guys been?" He asked the others.
Hinata was first, "I've been good, though the elders still think I'm worthless. They keep trying to make me fail at the academy, I can't wait to graduate this year." Assholes.
Sakura scoffed a bit, "My mother still thinks you're nothing but trouble. Even after you left, she still thought that you'd come and try to kidnap me."
Ino laughed, "It's been pretty good for me, I've learned a few clan jutsu. Though it's getting harder to hide stuff from dad, he is the head of the T&I department after all."
Tenten was last, "I have been awesome! I graduated last year and my team was more than happy to let me go on a trip, though the wording was weird..." She said with a shudder.
Mini Flashback.
"YOSH! TENTEN-SAN'S FLAMES OF YOUTHFUL FRIENDSHIP ARE BURNING BRIGHTLY!"
"INDEED LEE! IT IS QUITE YOUTHFUL TO WISH FOR A CAMPING TRIP WITH YOUR FRIENDS! TENTEN!
"Y-yeah sensei?"
"YOU HAVE MY EXPRESS PERMISSION! I HOPE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN EVEN HOTTER AFTER YOUR TRIP!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
Nobody wanted to ask why Tenten was shaking after she said that.
Naruto decided to introduce Orihime, "Well then, everyone. This is my Queen, Orihime Inoue."
While the girls introduced themselves, a knock was heard on the door. Naruto knew who it was and walked over, when he opened the door, he saw a girl with blonde hair styled in a 1920's fashion and blue-green eyes. As a matter of fact, her yellow dress, hat, and umbrella made her look straight out of the roaring 20's. (Miss Valentine from One Piece.)
"Hey there handsome!" She said as she gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Lilly." Naruto said with a smile, he had met Lillian while accompanying his Grandfather to a business deal when he was 14, she was the daughter of the CEO of Valentine Industries. They owned 90% of all clothing brands available. Joseph, as it turned out, was a huge investor in tons of companies, Naruto had met a bored Lillian while exploring the building. She wanted some excitement in her life, she wanted to live the highest life possible. Naruto had given her the choice to join his peerage for two reasons. One, she had the makings of a fantastic tactician, and two, she had a sacred gear.
Her gear was no Longinus, but it was very rare and powerful, while simple. She possessed Density Distortion, and could change her body's weight, she could look light as a feather, but weigh over 10,000 pounds. Likewise, she could make herself so light that she could float away in a breeze.
Naruto then let her in and introduced her to the rest of the peerage, "Ladies, this is Lillian Valentine, my other rook."
Lilly gave then a smile and said, "Hello there!"
Naruto then said to all of them, "Now that everyone's here, I think we should do a little training."
Kurumu slumped and said, "What! This is supposed to be a vacation!"
Mizore flicked her head and said, "He must have a good reason."
"You want us to see how everyone fights right?" Moka asked with a small smirk.
Naruto nodded and said, "Correct, now follow me please."
Downtown Karakura.
The group attracted some stares along the way, ten extremely attractive girls and a movie star walking down the street would definitely turn some heads. Eventually, they arrived at their destination.
Moka was confused, "Urahara Shoten?"
Naruto smiled at her and walked in,they followed him to see that he was talking to a blonde man with a bucket hat, cane, and green kimono, "Well, well, it's been a long time Naruto." The man said while covering his face with a fan.
"Yes it has Urahara-sensei. I was wondering if we could use your training room." Naruto had been brought to this place by Sirzechs before he met Orihime. Kisuke had 'trained' Naruto for a week.
By training, Kisuke ran around trying to slice Naruto in half.
Kisuke smiled and walked back into the shop, "Of course! I don't need it right now."
"Thank you." As Naruto took the girls back, he noticed their looks, "That was Kisuke Urahara, he helped train me for a while. Believe me when I say that his training room is one of the best around.
When they emerged the girls, except Orihime, were stunned. (You know what it looks like, if not, then look it up.)
"Here's what we're going to do, you all know how I fight, but some of you, I haven't seen fight in years. So, we're going to have a few fights. Orihime will fight me, Kurumu will fight Yakumo, Mizore against Tenten, Lilly against Moka, and Hinata, Ino, and Sakura in a three way match, sound good?"
The girls all nodded and made space for Naruto and Orihime, but before they started, Naruto spoke to Orihime, "It's time to activate your piece."
"What do you mean, wasn't it always active?" Mizore asked.
Naruto shook his head, "No, Karakura town is the central hub for the Seireitei, so we decided to give Orihime the piece, but not activate it, you ready Orihime?"
Orihime nodded and braced herself as Naruto snapped his fingers. She gasped as new power flooded her being, suddenly, her devil instincts caused her to feel some repressed emotions...
Her rage towards her parents...
Her frustration at being treated like a glass statue...
All of those feelings were brought to the surface as her power emerged.
Naruto gave her a second to regain her bearings, "You okay?"
Orihime looked up and said, "Yes... Better than ever."
Naruto nodded and said, "Alright then remember, this is just a practice session to see what you have... Start!"
'Koten Zanshun!" Naruto was forced to dodge as a small red blade streaked by his side, he was about to counterattack when it completely changed direction and kept coming for him. He noticed that the blade was slicing the very air in it's path.
It was dangerous.
He blocked dodged once more and sent a wave of destruction at Orihime, she brought a hand up and said, "Santen Kesshun!" A triangle shaped shield made of red energy appeared and blocked the shot. Naruto was about to counter when he felt the small blade pressed into his back. He looked at a smiling Orihime and said, "Well done."
She dropped her techniques and started bouncing around with excitement, "That was amazing! Even though you could've beaten me in a real fight. I was like POW! Then Tsubaki was all like WHOOSH! I've never fought like that before!"
Naruto smiled at her enthusiasm, he knew that becoming a devil would change some things about her, but he was glad that she was still the same Orihime. One thing that had definitely changes, before the activation, she didn't like to fight and would rarely use Tsubaki's power. But how she just used it, she was relentless.
Kurumu and Yakumo went down next, Yakumo took out a special book-sized canvas and paintbrush, they were both enchanted, the canvas could clear off anything drawn on it with a thought, and the brush would change colors at will and never run dry.
The two stared until Naruto started the match, Yakumo started painting as Kurumu gathered her magic. The stuff she had learned was a type of magic given to Grayfia by an old Succubus friend, it was a type of magic that was designed to be incredibly beautiful. That was, the opponent wouldn't know if the pain was real, or an illusion. The magic style also relied on Kurumu being slow, methodical, and relaxed in her movements, to further confuse the enemy.
Kurumu channeled energy into the painting and watched as Kurumu doubled over in pain, the painting was of a huge fist punching Kurumu in the gut.
Kurumu looked in Yakumo's eyes and tried to catch her in an illusion, but Yakumo only smirked. Kurumu narrowed her eyes and stood up. She then was swallowed in blue and pink butterflies. When it cleared, She was nowhere to be found. Yakumo was trying to find her when a swarm of butterflies flew in front of her, she tried to get out, but they all popped in an explosion of energy.
Kurumu, sitting on top of a rock spire, gently pushed off and glided down to the ground. Yakumo pushed herself off of the ground and picked up her brush, she then painted one last picture, Kurumu, seeing this, flew in to stop her, but as soon as she got there, Yakumo disappeared and Kurumu found herself locked in a cage.
She looked over to see Yakumo with a kunai placed at her neck.
"That's it." Naruto said stopping the fight, "That was really good, Yakumo, you can make solid objects?"
She shrugged and said, "Not really, but I can make people think that they're solid."
Naruto nodded with a smile and said, "You were good too Kurumu, you're really coming along." Kurumu blushed and walked back to the peanut gallery, "Next is Mizore and Tenten."
Said girls walked out and drew their swords, Tenten had decided to start with a Chinese style sword.
Naruto started the fight and the two rushed foreward, trading blow after blow with their swords, not many people knew, but Mizore's mother had taught her swordsmanship from a young age.
The two kept at it until Mizore switched up her style, she switched into her true form, holding the sword one handed, pointing down to the ground, and her other clawed hand poised to strike. Tenten made a magic circle and pulled out two swords that looked like over-sized butcher's knives.
The two then clashed again in a battle so fast that most of the girls had to struggle to keep up with it.
It looked even until Tenten slid on some ice on the ground, Mizore took advantage and froze Tenten up to her shoulders in ice, Naruto called the match after Mizore placed her sword at Tenten's neck.
Moka and Lilly took their places to start. When Naruto started the match, Moka shot forward, however, Lilly jumped away, when Moka looked up to find her, Lilly was gone, then as Moka looked back on the ground. Something fell from the ceiling fast enough to split the air, "5,000 Pound Press!"
Moka put her arms up to defend herself, but she winced a bit as Lilly slammed into her, Lilly then swing one arm out and swung it back down, "Thousand Pound Slap Hammer!" Moka was hit with the slam and was sent flying through some pillars.
Lilly floated toward the crater and was about to float off, but Moka grabbed her ankle and started swinging her around. Lilly tried to add more weight to make herself too heavy, but she didn't take Moka's strength into account.
When Moka let go, she didn't just let go. She slammed Lilly down into the ground hard enough to make a Lilly-shaped crater in the ground.
Naruto sweatdropped, "I think that's good..."
Lastly was Ino, Sakura, and Hinata, they took their places and waited for Naruto's call. When he started the match, the girls wasted no time in charging, they winded up in a free for all, taking shots at whoever was open. Though it soon became clear that Hinata had the advantage when it came to a close-quarters fight. Ino was then pushed back by a palm from Hinata, Sakura managed to get Hinata into a hold, though that was short lived as Ino ran up and kicked the both of them onto the ground.
Sakura grabbed Ino's foot and actually used her as a hammer to knock Hinata away, then she threw Ino into a wall.
They all wound up one final hit before sprinting straight at each other, when they reached the center, they all punched.
Sakura punched Ino, who punched Hinata, who punched Sakura, all three were knocked on their asses, Naruto decided to call it then.
Gremory Mansion Hot Springs.
Naruto sighed as he sat down in the hot water, he always enjoyed soaking in a hot spring. He was leaning against the wall separating his and the girl's side.
Naruto suddenly heard Orihime's voice from the other side, "Naruto-kun, I didn't know that you knew Urahara-san."
Naruto answered back, "Sorry about not telling you. It just slipped my mind."
"It's alright, it was just a surprise."
Something then popped into Lilly's head, "Naru-kun, what are we doing tomorrow?"
Naruto thought for a minute and said, "I thought that we could hand around the house and relax, maybe go shopping for swim suits so we can head to the beach the day after. There's a resort and private beach there that the family owns, we could stay there for a day." Let it be known that the Gremory family had something for every occasion. The girls were all for this, though some of them were thinking more about Naruto's reaction to their swimsuits...
After a few more minutes of soaking, Naruto got out, said goodnight to the girls, and headed to his room. When he arrived, he saw that the bed was massive, it could fit at least 15 people, and it had entirely too many pillows and blankets.
Never the less, Naruto crawled in and went to sleep.
The next morning.
Naruto woke up, and the first thing he realized was, "Something's wrong... Yet it feels so heavenly." Naruto considered going back to sleep, but once he was awake, he'd never be able to get back, so he sat up and realized the... situation.
All 10 of them.
All ten of the girls had gotten into bed with him, they were all crowded up against him, but that wasn't what made him stare the most.
Let me put it this way... The most conservative sleepwear on the bed was Hinata's nearly see-through lace nighty.
Naruto blushed and slowly got out of bed, he then went downstairs and started on making breakfast. He decided to cook because he liked to. Most of the girls didn't know how to cook anyway.
That and he was afraid to let Orihime do it.
"I love Orihime, but her cooking can be... A bit much for new people." Naruto thought as he cooked, he didn't even notice the implications of his word choicing.
While he cooked, the girls started to come into the dining room and sit down, they all greeted him and started chatting about things, mostly what kinds of swimsuits they were going to buy.
Once everyone was sat down, Naruto brought in huge platefuls of eggs, bacon, waffles, and all kinds of food. Everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, though everyone except Naruto couldn't help but stare as Orihime covered her eggs and bacon with mustard, having her usual bubbly smile on her face. There was also Mizore covering her food with frost and munching away.
After everyone was done, they all went up and changed into their casuals. They met at the front gate for their shopping trip and started walking to the mall. Along the way, needless to say, they got more looks, humans were naturally charmed by devils after all.
They went into a clothing store and headed straight for the swimwear section. Naruto split off from the girls to take a look at the men's section. After a few minutes of looking, he settled on a set of black trunks with red and orange lining and a pattern in the shape of bat wings.
After buying them, he walked out and leaned against the wall next to the store entrance. While he was waiting, a group of four guys, obviously the 'school bully' type walked up to him, "Hey." The apparent leader said, "Are you really Naruto Gremory?"
Naruto stared impassively and said, "Yes I am. Who are you?"
The leader sneered and said, "Just a few guys who like to beat down pretty boys like you."
Naruto's eye twitched as a group of people gathered around. The leader went to try and punch him.
Key word, tried.
Naruto caught his punch with no effort and slammed a palm strike into his gut. The thug was sent back about 20 feet on the ground and was knocked out cold. Two of the thugs stared at him, so Naruto came up and crashed their heads together, sending them into dreamland.
Naruto looked at the last one, and said, "Boo." He ran like a chicken with his head cut off.
A few seconds later, o few security guards came and took the thugs away. It was then that Naruto was approached by a few people. He recognized some from when he picked up Orihime.
"That was pretty impressive." Said a boy about his height with orange hair and brown eyes, "Ichigo Kurosaki."
Naruto shook his hand and said, "Naruto Gremory." In that instant, they felt each other's power.
They backed up as he other people introduced themselves.
"Uryuu Ishida." Said a boy with short black hair and glasses.
"Yasutora Sado, but everyone calls me Chad." Said the huge Hispanic boy.
"'Sup, the name's Keigo Asano!" The hyper brown haired kid said.
"I'm Rukia Kuchiki, it's nice to meet you. You may remember me and Tatsuki from the school." The black haired girl said.
The tomboyish girl came in then, "I'm Tatsuki by the way, Tatsuki Arisawa." She said, still a bit secretly starstruck.
"Chizuru Honsho." Said the red head who seemed completely uninterested in the conversation.
Naruto was ready to start a conversation, but Kurumu came out of the store dragging Orihime and Hinata with her, each holding a bag, "Hey Naru-koi! I managed to get these two to try some sexy swimsuits! We're gonna have some fun at the beach tomorrow!" she then noticed the new arrivals, "Oh hey. Who are you guys?"
"Hello everyone!" Orihime greeted her friends with a smile.
Keigo blinked a bit and said, "Orihime, how do you know a celebrity?"
Orihime smiled and said, "I met Naruto when I was 12! It was right after my brother died, he helped me through it. He asked me to keep it a secret though, sorry guys."
Ichigo shrugged and said, "It's okay."
"MY HIME!" Chizuru yelled as she attempted a flying glomp, the most powerful of all glomps, on Orihime.
However, everyone was surprised when, instead of Tatsuki kicking her away, Orihime brought her leg up just like what Ichigo did to Keigo all the time. Chizuru slammed into her foot and slumped down to the ground.
Orihime blinked at everyone's eyes widening as they stared at her, she tilted her head a bit, "What?"
Uryuu seemed to analyze her for a second, "You've never done that before... Something seems... different about you."
At this, everyone that could sense spiritual power focused on Orihime, and what they sensed surprised them. It felt like her power was increased exponentially, not only that, it felt... dark, much too dark for a girl like Orihime.
Orihime picked up on this and said, "I've just been thinking about some things, nothing major."
It was a few seconds later that the other girls walked out and joined them. Uryuu narrowed his eyes, they all had dark energy, some more than others... With the biggest being...
"Naruto Gremory... What are you?"
"So, what are you guys here for?" Tatsuki asked.
Ino was the one who answered, "We're buying swimsuits for our trip to the beach tomorrow."
At this, Chizuru made a miraculous recovery, "Beach? SWIMSUITS!?" She the devolved into perverted mutterings in the corner.
Naruto sweatdropped and said, "Yeah... You're welcome to join us if you want."
Ichigo said, "Sorry, but we have stuff to do..." He then indicated Chad, Rukia, and Uryuu.
Keigo was crying anime tears, "I would but I have to help my dad out at work..."
Tatsuki sent her best friend a sad look, "I have to practice for a tournament."
Chizuru, after an internal debate, said, "I'll go! I've got nothing else to do."
Orihime was delighted that one of her friends could come, "Yay! Just come to this address tomorrow morning at ten." She said, giving Chizuru a slip of paper.
The group spent a few more minutes chatting before Naruto and his peerage split off and went home.
The Next Morning.
After spending the whole previous day lounging around the house, the girls were all ready to head off to the beach. Naruto had booked a bus to take them to the resort, he would have teleported them there, but with Chizuru coming, that would be detrimental.
Naruto and the girls were currently standing out near the gate waiting for the bus, as they were waiting Chizuru showed up, after she got over the house, she got into a conversation with the other girls. Despite her perverted nature, she was very nice to have around it seemed.
The bus soon showed up and everyone loaded onto it, within a few hours, they were getting their stuff put away in the resort. It was a huge place, with a state of the art kitchen, a luxurious living space with a wall mounted obscenely large TV, huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach, and of course, the 20 person bed in Naruto's room...
Speaking of Naruto, he was currently outside of Chizuru's room. He knocked a few times and when Chizuru opened the door, she simply stared for a few seconds before letting him in, "Should have known. I couldn't hide it could I?"
Naruto faced her and said, "You almost fooled me. You're very good at hiding your energy, but not good enough."
Chizuru sighed as a pair of cat ears popped out of her hair and a cat tail swished out of her skirt, "So what now?" She said, looking him in the eye.
Naruto blinked and said, "Nothing." She was confused at this, her ears twitched as Naruto continued to speak, "I just wanted to let you know that it doesn't matter to me. Everyone else sensed it. They wanted me to tell you that you didn't have to hide."
Chizuru's eyes widened and she said, "R-really?"
Naruto nodded and asked, "Why were you hiding anyway?"
She adopted a melancholy expression and said, "My Mother was a Nekomata and my father was... not. I was born with a... unique... feature, and a group of rogue Yokai feared my potential, so they decided to try and get rid of me, they killed my parents when I was seven and I wound up in the Karakura orphanage... I'm still there to this day."
He narrowed his eyes, "What property is that?"
Chizuru shook her head and said, "Not saying, I don't trust you yet."
Naruto sighed and started to leave, "Fine, but just so you know. You don't have to hide from us."
About an hour later.
Naruto was using every ounce of his self-control to keep his eyes at face level with the girls, they were pulling all the stops.
Hinata wore a black bikini with blue flames on it, Ino wore a powder blue one piece that barely covered her top and had a hole in the bottoms just above her happy place, Sakura wore a one piece with Sakura blossoms all over and an exposed belly, Tenten was in a green bikini that looked tied together, Yakumo was wearing a pink one piece with an attached skirt, Moka was in a wine red bikini set with the unimportant parts covered by shear material, Kurumu wore a yellow string bikini, Mizore was in a purple one piece only connected by two strips connected by a ring on each side of her ribs, Orihime wore a yellow two piece with a top that was cupping her bust, Lillian wore an orange two piece with attached skirt, and Chizuru wore a pink-red one piece with a hole over her stomach and back. Lastly, Naruto was in the trunks he bought.
Naruto decided to start by relaxing on the sand. As he was lounging and soaking up the sun, he marveled at how powerful the evil pieces were. Normally, devils would be weakened and uncomfortable in the sun, but each evil piece set had a special side effect depending on the king. Sona's would become naturally good at controlling magic, Rias' would become as close as family, and Naruto's gave his peerage a bit of his healing factor. It wasn't like they would regrow an arm in seconds like he could, but the sun no longer bothered them. Moka also didn't have to worry about water!
Though, he was starting to have trouble with relaxing, Kurumu and Ino were making no attempt to hide their attempted seduction. They were walking over and leaning down to talk to him, making sure that their assets were on full display...
Even though the other girls weren't trying to, they also had the same effect, it was getting a bit hard for Naruto to control himself...
What? He was still a red-blooded guy.
"Hey kit, sorry I've been napping so much lately. I just ha-he-he-he-HELLO! WHAT IS THIS SANCTUARY OF JIGGLING FLESH AND THE DREAMS OF MEN!? KIT! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WHILE I WAS ASLEEP!?"
Naruto's eye twitched as he got up and headed for the water, trying, and failing, to avoid the volleyball game that the girls had started.
After having all manner of beach activities that day, they had all retired to bed.
By that I mean the girls all headed straight for Naruto.
However it was quite a surprise to everybody when they found Chizuru snuggled up to Naruto, upon waking up, she blushed a crimson red, but made no attempt to get up until everyone else did.
They spent a few hours lounging around, watching TV and relaxing. When they eventually left to head back to the city, they decided to spend the last day of their vacation...
In the Underworld.
But before that, Naruto gained his last peerage member.
Naruto was standing on the deck with Chizuru. she had asked him to follow her out there, for what, he didn't know.
"You asked me what my unique feature is. Are you still interested?" She asked with a nervous expression.
Naruto nodded and allowed her to speak, "When I said that my father wasn't a Nekomata... he wasn't human either. He was a Werewolf." As she said this, one of her ears changed to a dog ear, and a fluffy dog tail sprouted from her tailbone right next to her cat tail.
Naruto blinked, "Well... That was, unexpected. I thought they hated each other, Nekomata and Werewolves I mean."
Chizuru shrugged and said, "What can I say? They were in love. I guess that those rogue yokai thought I was a bad omen. As a matter of fact, they're still after me..."
Naruto thought for a minute and said, "I can help with that. If you join my peerage, I can protect you." He then took out his last two pawns.
Chizuru blinked and said, "Are yous sure you want me? Even my supposed family thinks I'm an abomination."
The fact she could say that and be completely neutral cemented Naruto's decision, "You deserve better than being on the run every second of the day. I promise you, that if you join me, then I will protect you with my life..."
Chizuru blushed and nodded, after Naruto was done, thankfully it only took his last two pawns, she stretched a bit and flexed her power, "Wow. I feel awesome!" Naruto smiled, but it faltered at her next words, "That settles it! I want you!" She said with her wide smile and a dramatic point.
Naruto reacted appropriately "Huh? I thought you..."
She smiled coyly and said, "I swing both ways." She then walked back into the resort with a noticeable sway in her hips.
Naruto stood there before speaking, "The FuckMcjuggernuggets is up with my life?"
I believe it was profound.
The Next day - Gremory Mansion
Naruto had just teleported everyone to the Gremory household, the girls were all impressed with the house. Before Naruto could say anything, a voice spoke up and startled them all, it spoke with a calm sense of dread.
"Naruto-sama. Where have you been? You were supposed to check in every month." Naruto slowly turned to come face-to-face with Grayfia.
He chuckled and said, "Sorry, I kinda got distracted..."
She swept her eyes over his peerage, "Indeed. Venelana-sama has been trying to get ahold of you for over a month."
Naruto paled and started walking toward her room with a sense of impending doom. When they arrived, Naruto walked in and left the girls outside, they then started a conversation, "What do you think she wants to ask Naruto-kun about?" Lillian asked
Sakura thought and said, "She probably wants to yell at Naru-kun for not talking to her..."
Hinata was next, "I hope she's not too hard on him."
Tenten came up and put her arms around their shoulders, "Aw, come on. Naruto-kun can handle it."
"Are you sure about that?" Yakumo asked.
"What do you mean?" Mizore was slightly worried.
Moka spoke up and said, "What man can stand up to feminine fury?"
Kurumu winced, "Well, he's screwed..."
"What do you think Hime-chan... Hime-chan?" Chizuru questioned the queen.
When they received no answer from their ditzy queen, they all looked to find her darting around the mansion, "This place is beautiful! Imagine a grand ball in here, everyone in fine dresses and dancing to high society music... With a huge buffet table complete with Tomato fruit punch and blueberry's covered in peanut butter!"
Everyone sweatdropped at her choice in snacks and... active imagination. Grayfia blinked and asked, "Is she always like that?"
Chizuru nodded and said, "Yep, but that's what makes her unique!"
Venelana's room.
"That's... a lot to take in." Naruto said as he thought about what his grandmother had just told him.
She was sitting on a chair near her bed and said, "I know it's strange, but that's what happened." She had just finished telling him about her meeting with the Namikaze family.
"I... I need time to think about this." Naruto said, a bit overwhelmed.
Venelana nodded and then brought up a new topic, "I have a contract for you, I believe that it's right up your alley."
Naruto looked her in the eye and asked, "What mission?"
"One of great importance, tell me, have you ever heard of Nami no Kuni?"
Chapter end!
I hope you guys enjoyed this next chapter.
Naruto's peerage is now complete, bear in mind that there will be harem members that aren't part of the peerage, and just because we won't be starting DxD until after the Sasuke retreival, doesn't mean that Rias and her peerage won't make appearances until then.
Again, I hope you enjoyed!
Review please!
