AN: Well, Naruto is over. But just because there is no more new episodes, or that the ending made me want to cry out in anger, doesn't mean I'm goanna give up writing fics, and make Naruto MY way!
Like a certain crazed clown once said: Let's have some FUN!
Last time:
"Good morning, everyone."
Issei's eye widen at the voice. His head snapped up, and looked at the familiar man. 'Naruto-san?! What's he doing here?!' He thought, worriedly.
Naruto moved toward the desk, and laid his case on top of it. He turned around and grabbed a piece of chalk. "My name, is Mr. Asakura. I am your new Literature teacher." He looked at them with a smirk.
This was goanna be fuuunnn…
Now
Naruto whistled a tune as he calmly walked through the dark streets of the town, his case in hand. It's been nearly a week since he met Issei, introduced himself to Red and her peerage, and got a job at the academy. The latter was quite easy, all he had to do was find a teacher, use his charm on her, get her to resign, meet the principal, look at his eyes, and work his magic. It was pure coincidence the gaki was in the class he got in. Since them, he would teach the kids whatever crap he knew, talk with Issei about his new life, maybe mess with Red, and spend his time doing his primary job, such as what he was currently doing.
His favorite part was flirting with female teachers and/or students – he was part devil, the personification of sin, age meant shit to him! – have his students do mind-numbing work, offer the gaki advice when asked, ate fresh Italian pizza from an Italian shop – there was no fucking way that cafeteria 'pizza' was edible! It was a joke against good PIZZA! – and spend some 'quality' time with Red!
"What is a demon hunter doing here?!" Rias demanded, giving Naruto her best glare. However, it had no effect on the snowette, as he just smirked at her, laying his feet on the table in front of him. He calmly sipped some tea Akeno gave. He had already awaited this meeting ever since Akeno stepped into his shop. He hummed at the taste, nodding to the dark haired devil.
"This is quite good! Tastes kind of familiar. Did you make it from the Karvera flowers in the Underworld?" He asked. The Karvera flowers had special pollen that put the people who smell them under an illusion, showing them their most happiest moments. This tea worked by make drinkers taste their favorite desserts. He tasted strawberry sundae.
Akeno nodded with her usual smile. "Yes. I'm surprised, as Karvera flowers are quite rare, and many have forgotten their existence."
Naruto nodded. "Yes, I'm quite lucky to have my own planted at my garden at my house. Though, I usually like to put some sugar and honey in mine. It enhances the taste."
"Oh. I will have to try that."
Rias's eyebrow twitched. It would appear she was being ignored. "Ehem!" The duo looked at her. "Back to our discussion, What. Are. You. Doing. Here?!" She asked/demanded him.
Naruto sighed and put his cup down. "Calm down princess. I'm not here to kill you, or your peerage. I may be a demon hunter, but I only take care of demons and monsters who harm humans. As long as you do not bring them harm, I won't take off that little pretty head of yours with my sword." He smirked at her as he placed his hand on his case, leaning beside him, making Rias flinch. She had to resist feeling her throat.
Rias eyed the case in caution. A demon hunter was not to be underestimated. She lost a cousin to a demon hunter because he was reckless. She turned back to him as he continued.
"I know all about your Faction War, and to put it simply, it sucks. You idiots are putting humans in danger, and that is something I cannot have. From now on, the humans of this city are under my protection. Now, I can either be your friend, or your enemy. If you don't want to be an accessory on my wall, you'll leave humans alone. I've already got those damn Hell demons and monsters attacking humans at night. Don't have time for you."
Rias narrowed her eyes at him. "Is that a threat?"
He shrugged. "Consider it what you want. Just watch your actions." He said before he stood up. Nodding to Akeno in thanks for the tea, he turned to leave.
"Wait."
Stopping, he glanced at Rias over his shoulder. She looked at him. "'Equilibrium of Light and Darkness' I have recalled hearing that phrase before. It took a while, but I finally remembered where I heard it. But…it's just a myth."
Naruto smirked at her. "Nearly all myths come from facts, princess." He left.
Akeno looked at her [King], and saw the troubled look. "What's wrong, Rias-chan?" She asked.
"'From the shining lights of Heaven, and the abysmal depths of the Underworld, beings of pure power surfaced into existence. Wielding power to shake the realms, these being are fears and praised. Their names forever lost in the sands of time, their power forever remembered. Nephalem.' That was a quote I read on an old text when I was younger. Naruto, is a Nephalem."
Akeno's eyes widen in shock. Nephalem, half angels/half demons. She had heard about them, but only in tales her mother told her. It was said that there lived a whole colony species of hybrid beings before and during the Second War. Nephalem being one of them. This colony was known as the Forgotten Race, or the Lost Faction.
It was back when the War was still young. Shocking enough, there were angels, demons, and fallen angels that did not want to fight. And only wanted to continue their existence. They didn't even hate their 'eternal' enemies, and even had children with them!
Nephalem – Half Angels, Half Demons. The offspring of two opposing forces, containing all their power, less of their weaknesses, and more. They were beings either hated for future threats, or wanted for their power.
There were more hybrids, but the Nephalem were the most dangerous. And Naruto was probably the last and only one remaining. Rias frowned. This may complicate things. She needed to inform her brother.
Naruto smirked as he kept walking to his destination. It may cause some problems, but what were a few problems for some fun? Looking around him, he saw that he close to a bar. His eyes wondered through the streets. The place was deserted, some buildings were damaged, windows busted, and sniffing, he could detect a lingering smell of blood.
He was in the bad part of the town.
In more ways than one.
Spotting an open bar, he walked in. There was a low music playing, three guys sitting in a table playing cards, and a bartender cleaning a cup. Moving, he ignored the looks the guys sent his way, and sat on a seat at the bar, laying his case against it. He tapped his finger on the table, getting the tender's attention. "Akai Doku." He ordered.
The bartender narrowed his eyes at him, before moving to get the drink. Setting a cup on the table, he began pouring. When ready, Naruto grabbed the drink and chunk it down his throat. Grabbing the bottle, he refilled the cup. Being part devil meant no hangover, unless he drank holly water, or danger of liver cancer.
The bartender went back to his cleaning, occasionally glancing at the snowette. "So," He started. "What brings a fellow like you to these parts?"
Refilling the cup, Naruto shrugged. "Just enjoying the quite night. It's a full moon tonight. And thought I could use a drink."
The tender hummed, glancing at the men playing cards.
"A drink is nice to sooth my mind before I play my gig. Always nice to hear music on such a good night." Naruto said as he drank his sake. He smirked softly. "You could just hear it right now. Calm, relaxing music. Nothing like that shitty illusion casting music you have right now."
The tender tensed, as the men set their cards on the table.
Naruto took the bottle and chunk the rest of the drink. "Ah~. Akai doku, "Red Poison". Strange, isn't it? This type of drink is quite rare. Only found in the richest parts of the Underworld."
BAM!
One of the men slammed his hands on the table and shot up. His eyes glowed a thirsty crimson as he looked at Naruto. "How about I let you enjoy it in Hell!" His skin seemed to shred off his body, before a created with dark green skin shot out of the disguise at Naruto, claws ready to shred him to pieces. It slammed its hand down on him.
Raising an eyelid when he didn't see any blood and flesh, he saw a shadow over him. He looked up.
SHTK!
Its eyes widen when a blade pierced through its head, between its eyes.
Naruto blinked as he landed on the monster's back, sending it crashing to the ground, Rebellion in hand. Pulling it out, he gave a swipe, sending blood off the steel. Placing it on his shoulder, he glanced behind him at the other two. "Now that we've got the music playing, how about we dance?"
With a roar, the two tore off their disguises and leaped at the man. Pulling out Lilith, Naruto fired at the one on the left, bullets flying and piercing through its body and neck, before he jumped up and over the other. Spinning Rebellion around his fingers, he slashed down Demon #1's back, making a large gash.
"AAARRRGGGHHH!"
Landing, he aimed at Demon #2 as it charged at him. Firing bullets at it, his foot moved around the leg of a nearby chair. Swiping it up into the air, he kicked it at #2. It slammed and broke against its face, making it stagger. When it looked forward, its eyes widen when Naruto appeared in front of him, the barrel of Lilith an inch away from its eye.
"Jackpot."
BANG!
As the body slammed into the ground, its blood spilling out of its new holes, #1 stood up from where it crashed into the bottle shelf at the bar. Turning around, it saw its dead brethren, making it roar at Naruto in anger.
The snowette glanced at it over his shoulder. "Want more?"
Jumping to the air, the Hell Demon sent its sharp claws at the hunter. Naruto blocked it with Rebellion. The two struggled against the other to push back. With a grunt, Naruto pushed hard, moving the demon back. Tightening his grip on the handle, he slashed up, cutting across its face.
As it cried out in pain, he jumped up into the air before coming down, Rebellion in a downward stab. Thrusting the blade down, he pierced through the top of its head and deep into the ground. It gave a loud shriek, before going still.
Pulling his sword out, he slashed down and cut off the monster's head. Doing the same to the other two, he put his case on the ground and opened it. Inside the case, were many weapons, from swords to guns. Throwing the heads inside, he closed it. He gave his blade a powerful swing, taking off the blood, before putting it on his back, where it stayed. Sheathing Lilith behind his waist, he grabbed his case and made his way toward the door. Pausing, he glanced at the door at the back of the bar. Taking out Iofiel, he aimed and fired a shot, before putting it back. "Next time, get better music." He said, before turning the Open sign to Close, and leaving.
In the back room, blood slipped through the crack, as the body of the bartender fell to the ground, a hole in his forehead.

Chapter 3: An average life…for a Devil
With a chime, the entrance to a sweet shop opened, and Naruto stepped out, a cup of strawberry sundae in hand, and his case on his back.
"Bye Naruto-kun!" A voice from inside called out.
Waving behind him, he left. As he walked through the streets, mindlessly eating his sundae with the plastic spoon he had, he let his mind wonder. It's been many weeks since he moved here, and it's been boring! Sure taking down minor monsters were fun, but it soon grew boring. Not to mention he hasn't had a call for missions in a while. There has to be some monsters terrorizing people around the world. There just has to! He was even considering going to that abandoned church and fighting those Fallen Angels! He sighed. 'But if I do that, then Azazal-jiji will know, then he'll tell Mephi-baka, and then that idiot will hang it over my head about starting a war forever!' He thought angrily. Let's not forget that he needs to call his peerage. He hasn't seen them in nearly a year, as they were all assigned high missions around the world, and spreading his contacts. 'They should be done about now. I need to call them to come here. The house is finished for us, and I have this foreboding feeling that something shitty is about to happen.'
In other news, he has decided to increase business influence to make more money. You can only obtain so much in a Demon Hunting service in a mortal, and oblivious, realm. So decided to open a café shop at the for sale building across from his shop. It used to be a bakery, so he could use it for his own purposes. He already called the owner, and made a deal. He just ordered supplies, and they should be here in around a few days.
It would be a great way to expand his grapevine of information gathering, and make more money. Not to mention it would be great for the members of his peerage who had extra time apart from demon hunting, or were too lazy to get any shit done.
Now, all he needed was a name, and theme. Not to mention workers, chefs, waitresses, tables, ingredients, etc.
Life was not easy for Naruto…
He looked up at the sky. 'Please, mother! Let something fun happen!'
"Here you go! Please take one! They're free!"
Moving his head down, Naruto blinked when he saw Issei passing out fliers. He blinked once. Twice. He then looked back up. 'Thanks mom! Once again, you're the best!' He thought with a wink before walking over to the brunette.
Issei smirked at the two female teens as he gave them fliers. "Two fliers for two beautiful women." He flirted, making them giggle as they walked way. Mentally cheering at his great luck, he continued to pass out fliers.
"Yo, gaki!"
Blinking at the call, Issei turned around and saw a familiar snowette in a crimson coat. "Naruto-san!"
Getting close, he lightly bumped the top of the brunette's head. Of course, even though it was 'lightly' the man's strength was still enough to make the teen hold the top of his head in pain. "Don't call me '-san'. Makes me feel old. So what ya doing gaki? Shouldn't you be pranking people, or getting into trouble, or whatever you guys do?" He asked as he put a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth.
As Issei rubbed the bump on his head, he looked at him. "Don't call me gaki! I'm only a few years younger than you! And I'm passing out fliers for Buchou." He said as he showed the last flier he head. Looking at it, Naruto recognized the Gremory Family Seal on it. "I just have to give this out, and I'll be done."
Nodding, the man grabbed the flier of his hand. "Well, there we go. Your done gaki." He said with a smirk as he pocketed the flier. Who know, he might need it one day.
Issei blinked, before shrugging. That may work! Buchou said he had to pass out the fliers, she didn't say he couldn't pass them out to people he knew. "Thanks Naruto-s-" Naruto raised his fist at him. "Ah! Naruto! Thanks Naruto." Naruto lowered his fist and smirked at him.
"No problem. Just looking out for my little gaki student." Issei glared at him at the little gaki comment. "So, you got any contracts?" He asked as the two walked. Issei sighed and shook his head.
"No. Buchou said that when I'm done delivering fliers, I can begin fulfilling contracts." He then perked up. "Wait! That was the last of the fliers! I can start now!" He stated excitedly.
Finishing up his sundae, the devil hunter threw it away at a nearby trashcan – which landed perfectly – before looking at the teen. "Good for you. And if you want, I can come with you to help you with filling out wishes." Issei nodded to him in gratitude, before a question came to mind.
"Hey, Naruto?"
"Hm?"
"Why are you so helpful to me?" That has been bothering him for a while now, but not too much. He was just curious. Naruto didn't know a thing about him, so why be so helpful.
Naruto looked at him. "Well, call it making up for getting you killed."
"Huh?"
"You see kid, if I didn't get distracted, you wouldn't have been stabbed by that bird. You would still be human. But I fail, and now you're a devil."
Issei stopped walking and looked at him. "Hey! Its not your fault! Its mine! And besides, being a devil has been great so far!"
Stopping as well, Naruto looked at him, his expression serious. "That's because you haven't been one for long. Listen kid. Being a devil isn't all fun and games, and getting girls. Devils and other demons have many enemies. Angels, churches, Fallen Angels, even some humans. You will have many enemies that will seek for your death just because you are a devil. Not only that, but you will now outlive the people you care about, as demons have extended lifespans. Your parents, your friends, you will outlive them. Some devils stop aging physically around their mid-twenties. It might happen to you too, though unlikely. But still, can you deal with all of that?" He asked.
Issei was silent as he repeated everything he heard in his mind. He looked down as the seriousness of the moment struck him. Naruto was right. This wasn't all fun and games. Naruto sighed and put a hand on his shoulder, getting his attention. "Listen, we can't change what's happen, but I promise you, I will help you live long enough to make your dream come true. You wanted to be this Harem King right? To have your own harem? Well, I will help you. That's a promise, and Naruto Diabolus always keeps his promises."
Issei smiled at the man softly. "Thanks Naruto."
Patting his shoulder, Naruto began leading them toward the Academy. "Now then, lets find you a contract."
Soon the two made it to the old building where Rias and her peerage stayed. Walking inside, Naruto saw Koneko sitting on the couch, eating a candy bar, he could sense Akeno's energy at the kitchen, and Rias was sitting on her desk.
"I'm back, Buchou!" Issei called. Rias looked up and smiled at the brunette, though her eyes narrowed at seeing Naruto, who smirked at her. Ever since she discovered that this mysterious man was a Demon Hunter and a Nephalem, she was cautious of him. She sent a message to her brother, but has not yet gotten a reply. It made her nervous. A Nephalem's power was not to be underestimated. As not only does he have the power and strength of a devil but he also has the light and advantage of an angel, a devil's worst enemy. From the rumors and tales she heard and read, Nephalem have to powers of the light, which she didn't know if Naruto was able to conjure. She needed to be careful.
Shaking off her thoughts for later, she smiled kindly at Issei, ignoring Naruto's presence. "Eh, you already passed them out? There were a lot there." She said as she glanced at the corner of the room, where a half dozen empty boxes laid, once filled with summon fliers.
Issei chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "If its to fulfill my dream, than this is nothing!" He said as Naruto sat down next to Koneko. Reaching into his coat, he took out a bag of gummy bears and held it in front of her face. He chuckled as her eyes lit up at seeing the bag, her hands shooting up and taking them. Meanwhile, Akeno come out of the built-in kitchen and set a tea set on the table. Upon see the man, she placed a kind smile on her face and served the man a cup, he nodded in gratitude. He could detect the nervousness from her, but ignored it.
Rias stood up from her chair and walked over to Issei. "Okay then, let's move onto the next step." She said, placing a hand on her hip.
Issei grinned happily and raised his fists. "Great! I've finally graduated from miscellaneous jobs like passing out fliers?!"
Rias nodded. "That's right. Now that the contracts are spread around the city, its time for you to begin forming contracts. For your first time, you'll be doing two. They used to be Koneko's and Kiba's, but I want you to do them. Think of it as practice." Koneko bowed slightly to Issei.
"Thank you for your assistance."
Issei bowed back to her. "T-The pleasure's all mine."
She looked at her [Queen]. "Akeno, would you please?"
The dark haired Fallen/Devil bowed slightly. "Of course." She walked to the middle of the room, in the spacious side, and raised her hand. In a brightly glow, a large crimson diagram appeared on the floor.
Issei watched in amazement at the seal. "W…What is this?!"
Rias smirked at him. "Right now, we're engraving your inscription inside the Magic Diagram. Now, you are able to use the Gremory Seal." She explained. Naruto watched calmly as another outer circle layer appeared on the diagram. He hummed lightly as he sipped his tea, while scratching the top of Koneko's head as she ate her gummy bears. He nodded toward Kiba as the blonde entered the room. While the peerage, except for Issei, were cautious around the man, they got slightly used to him appearing in the room.
Somewhat…
"Inscription?" Issei asked, confused.
"The best way to explain it would be to call it the proof of our relationship, after which this magical diagram will become the basis of all the magical powers that you'll be using. It will show that you are my [Pawn]. Give me your palm." Issei blinked before doing as told. Rias grabbed his hand and placed her finger on his palm. Issei gasped as the crest of Gremory appeared on the palm. "This mark allows you to utilize the magical diagram to teleport to your summoner." As Issei looked at the seal, Rias turned to Akeno. "Akeno, are you ready?"
The [Queen] nodded. "Hai. You can start anytime."
Nodding, the redhead looked at her [Pawn]. "Okay Issei, stand in the middle of the magical diagram."
Issei snapped out of his daze and nodded. "H-Hai!" Walking toward the seal, he stood over the circle in the middle. He gasped slightly as a tingle went through his spine. 'What's this? I feel strange. Like I can feel energy spreading through me.'
Naruto watched silently as they prepared the ritual. Rias spoke up. "Alright Issei. This seal will teleport you to where you are summoned. Do you remember what you have to do after you arrive?"
The brunette nodded. "Hai! Make a pack with the summoner and fulfill their wish! And then, in exchange, collect payment!" Rias nodded.
"Correct, have a safe trip Issei!"
Naruto hid a smirk as the seal lit up. He just knew what was about to happen. The glowing seal light up the room, blocking everyone's sight. When the seal stopped glowing, Issei remained where he stood, in a 'cool' stance.
"Are you the one who summoned me? Well then…tell me your wish."
"…."
"…."
"…."
Naruto stiffened a laugh at the oblivious teen. He cleared his throat. "Ah yes. I would like two boxes of fresh Shark King's Pizza. One with pineapples and chicken, the other with meaty toppings. And…you want anything Koneko?" He asked the loli girl.
"Candy." She said, playing along.
Issei opened his eyes and blinked when he saw he was still in the club room. "Eh?"
Rias frowned as she stepped forward, as Naruto laughed while Akeno chuckled. "What a shame. It looks like you still can't make a jump through."
Issei gaped. "Eh?"
Rias sighed. "In order to make the jump through the seal, you must reach a set level of power. Currently, your magical power is too low. So the seal isn't activating." Issei face-faulted. He just wasted an awesome entrance! "Even so, since there's a summoner, you still have to make a trip. You'll have no choice but to travel by foot."
"Eh?!" Issei said in shock as Rias took out a piece of paper from her desk and wrote down the addresses.
Kiba chuckled at the situation. "Interesting. Well, if you go by bike you can get there in half an hour."
Chuckling, Naruto stood up. Walking over, he patted Issei on the shoulder. "Don't worry gaki! I'll help you out!" He looked at Rias. "You got the summoner's address Benihime?" He asked. Rias narrowed her eyes at him, before reluctantly holding it out. Smirking, Naruto took it. "Thank you~! Let's go kid!" He said and dragged Issei behind him out the door.
"O-Oi! Don't pull so hard! And what kind of devil shows up in a bicycle after being summoned?!"
"The one who doesn't complain a lot. Now come on, gaki!"
Rias frowned as the two left. Having Naruto around the clubhouse sometimes worried her. Sure the guy was nice at times, if a bit of a flirt as he would at times flirt with Akeno, Koneko, and even herself, but knowing that a powerful being was in the room, made her tense. She didn't know if he was just being nice, or he had some hidden agenda for them. Mostly, the man would hang out with Issei and help him with any problems, like a big brother. Or even help them with school work, as his job as a teacher. She just didn't know how to feel about that.
Was Naruto only getting closer to them to learn secrets of the Gremory clan?
Was he waiting for the teen to drop his guard, before stealing his Sacred Gear?
Was he waiting for them to turn their backs, before cutting off their heads?!
Or was the white haired man really just being nice?
Argh! She was getting a headache! And it was all because of that strange, mysterious, handsome, muscular-
'Wait what?!' She thought, her cheeks burning slightly. She shook her head. 'No! I can't think like that! He could be an enemy!'
Damn you Naruto!
Outside the building, Naruto looked at the address before turning to Issei. "Alright gaki. I can get us to the location."
Issei raised an eyebrow. "How?"
Naruto just smirked at him. "Benihime isn't the only one who can teleport." He raised his hand, and Issei gasped when a large seal made of blue flames appeared on the ground. It looked similar to the Gremory Seal, except in the center, where an image of a long sword with a hollow circle under the hilt, and three curved lines looking like wings on either side of the circle. (AN: DMC, Dante's symbol.)
Before Issei could say anything, the two vanished in a flash. Before he knew it, they appeared in front of a two story building. "Huh? Wha?!"
Naruto chuckled at his look, before gesturing to the door. "Well, here we are. This is Kiba-san's contract." Snapping out of his daze, Issei walked toward the door and rank the doorbell.
'According to Kiba, apparently he's almost always summoned by hot women.' Issei though, anxiously. 'Come on, beautiful girl! To fulfill the wish of a beauty is my wish!' "Good afternoon, sorry for the wait. I'm a devil…" He spoke to the intercom.
"The door's unlocked, please come in nyo."
Issei's shoulders feel when he heard the voice. 'So deep…it's obviously a guy's voice…' "Nyo?" He asked as he opened the door. "Sorry for intruding…" He began, before going completely silent once he beheld the person on the other side. His face turned completely pale.
"Welcome, nyo~." There, standing in front of him, was a large, extremely muscular man in a sailor girl's outfit that was a few sizes too small. He had his hair in pintails, fake wings in his back, and cat ears on the top of his head. "I've waited for so long, nyo~!"
Issei was shaking in fear, ready to pee himself! This was the most horrifying thing he had ever seen! Just as bad as reading yoai! (JnS does not discriminate against race, gender, or sexual preferences. Thank you.) "Y-Your…wish…" 'What the hell's with this person?! Cosplay?! Ends sentences with "Nyo"?! This is bad! This is very bad!'
Behind him, Naruto just blinked. He had seen some fucked up shit on his work, so something like this only slightly surprised him. The man reminded him of those Undines he saw in the Familiar Realm. He was probably the only one who doesn't run screaming at the sight of them. Then again, he had met monsters uglier than them. Monsters that would hunt even the strongest of demon's minds for years. 'At least it isn't a fat, shitfaced old man in a little girl's outfit, asking to be turned into a little girl.' Yep, it happened before. And when it did, he happily shot that fucker in the face…and balls. With a smile!
The large man continued speaking. "I want you to turn Miru-tan into a magical girl, nyo." The now named Miru said.
Issei gaped. "Miru-tan?! You need to go to a different world…"
"I've been to another world, but no one has the ability to give Miru-tan magical powers."
"You actually went?!" Issei yelled. He was just kidding.
"At this point, as a last resort, I can't help but make a wish with my enemies, the devils!"
"Enemies?!" Now Issei was getting scared as he slowly backed up. And why wasn't Naruto helping him?!
Naruto sat back, eating a bag of popcorn he got somewhere, enjoying the show.
"Give Miru-tan…" The 'man' muttered. "PLEASE GIVE MIRU-TAN FANTASY POWERS, NYOOOO!" He shouted, getting close to the brunette's face.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" Issei screamed in horror. 'I'm going to die!'
Naruto sighed as he stood up, crumbling his empty bag. It was all fun and games until people start screaming. Then it just gets annoying. "Alright you big babies, SHUT UP!" He yelled, getting them to stop yelling and turn to him. He pointed at Miru. "You! Big man, two steps back!" Miru did as told, feeling nervous about Naruto getting closer to him. "Now look. Seeing you like this, disgusts me! You're a grown ass man! Not some pimp kid! But we don't argue about your wish, we just grant them. Now, we will grant your wish, we will leave, and we will never see each other again. Got it!"
Miru nodded rapidly, as Issei leaned closer to Naruto. "Um, Naruto. I don't know how to turn him into a magical girl." He said, low enough that Miru didn't hear him.
Naruto waved him off. "Don't worry. I've got it." He said before looking at the large man. "Alright, listen up you thing. Bio-recreation is something that is almost impossible for even Devils to do. At least, permanently. At best, I can turn you into a 'magical girl' for no more than 24-hours, before you are turned back to 'normal'. You will take this, and you will like it!" He threatened.
Miru nodded. It may not be forever, but he will be a magical girl! His dream will come true!
Pushing the man inside, Naruto followed, Issei behind him. Looking around around the room, he saw it filled with posters of magical girls, much to his disgust, and grabbed a figure off the stand. He then turned to Issei. "Alright gaki, here's what you got to do. Focus on this figure, very hard in your mind. Focus your energy. I'll do the rest." Nodding, Issei grabbed the figure, and holding it tightly, focus on its image and the energy he felt when he first stepped on the teleportation seal. Back then, he felt something surge through him, which was probably his new devil energy.
Facing Miru, Naruto told him to close his eyes. As the man did that, the white-haired nephalem raised his hand up until it was at eye-level with the 'man', while placing his other hand on top of Issei's head. Concentrating, he focused his energy. His hands became wrapped in a light blue flame. His eyes glowed, along with Miru. Suddenly, a smoke covered the man.
When the smoke cleared, Miru opened his eyes. Looking down, Miru gasped when 'he' saw his arms, once muscular, now thin and silky. 'He' was now much shorter, standing at a 5'4". 'He' quickly ran to the mirror in the room, and gasped when 'he' saw the reflection. His face was now thinner and silky. His eyes wider.
Miru was now a girl.
With his new female voice, he giggled and jumped around in happiness. "Finally! Miru-tan is now a magical girl! I am Magical Miru-tan!
This was the best day of her life!"
"Is he alright?" Issei asked as he looked down at the unconscious body of the male Miru.
Naruto shrugged. "Of course he's alright."
Issei looked at him. "Well, what did you do?"
Again, Naruto shrugged. "I fulfilled his wish. I placed him in an illusion where he is a 'magical girl'. It'll last for around 24 hours, like I said."
Issei raised a brow. "Does that even count?" He asked. Naruto held up the glowing flier, which soon stopped glowing. "His desire was: "to be a magical girl." He never said it had to be physical. In his mind, he is one, and his soul knows it. So the contract is completed." He said and gave the flier to Issei. "So, think you can do the last one on your own?"
Issei nodded as the two exited the house. Saying good bye to Naruto, Issei ran off to his other contract. Watching him leave with a smirk, Naruto looked up at the sky. It was still early, just barely hitting the sunset. He decided to walk around, maybe sense out some stray demons and monsters.
As he walked through the park he felt his phone vibrate. Taking it out, he saw that he had messaged from his peerage as he called them this morning.
Be right there! Just need to finish some things! – Meda-chan
Will be there shortly! – Aka-hime
As you wish, Naruto-sama. – Mil-chan
On my way. Really missed u! ; ) – Lu-chan
On my way, boss man! – Al.
As you wish, Naruto-sama. – Wolf-chan
Of course, Naruto-sama. – K.
Taking care of business right now. Be there soon. – Lock
On my way, Naruto. – Light
Right – Ach.
As you command, my king. – Al.
Yes sir, boss man! – Inu
Yes sir! – Chris
Hai, hai! – Habanero-chan
A thumbs up – Vixen
Nodding at the messages, he put his phone away. He was glad he was going to be reunited with his peerage. It's been a whole year since they split up to cover more business all over the world. He really missed hanging with them, starting fights, and running away from the police. All the moments he hanged with them were special to him.
His peerage was special in a way, as he didn't use the Underworld's Evil Piece set. Instead, he used a whole new set his brother gave him. It was called the Devil Piece set. And what made it different from the former, was that while that was imaged after the chess game, his was imaged after the shogi game.
And was way different than the Evil Piece system, with many additions.
Why the Devil Piece wasn't commonly used, was because it required a tremendous amount of energy to power it. At least near or close to the amount of a Satan-class. He was even lucky to be given the set!
"Ow!"
Stopping, he looked at where the shout came from. Blinking, he stared at a face-full of white panty wearing ass as the person tripped on the ground. "Ooooh. Why did I fall down?"
He rose a brow when he heard the feminine voice speak Italian. Sighing, he walked over. Kneeling in front of her, he grabbed the white sheet over her head and pulled it up. He saw it was a young teen, around 14 or 15, with long blonde hair. She blinked at the light, her innocent green eyes looking up at him. "Eh?" Looking closer, he saw that she was wearing a nun outfit. 'Interesting.'
He gave the girl a smirk "You okay, sister?" He asked in Italian as he helped her up. The girl blinked before smiling up at him.
"Oh! Thank you very much!" She said. Just then, a powerful gust of wind blew, sending her veil flying off, making her gasped. "My veil!"
Before it could get too far, Naruto's arm shot up and grabbed it. Smiling at her, he fixed it back on her head. "You should be careful. It would be terrible if such a lovely lady as yourself lost this." He told her, making her smile. When done, he saw that what was most likely her suite case had its contents spilled all over the ground. "Oh my. That's quite the large case." He said as he began helping her picking up her stuff.
"Oh! Thank you!" She said in gratitude, happy to have run into such a nice person. As he picked up the stuff, he spotted church objects, such as a Bible, a cross, and bottles of holy water.
'But what is a nun doing here? There isn't a church for miles! The only one here is…' His eyes widen slightly. The only church in Kuoh was the abandoned church, which the Fallen Angels used as their base. He narrowed his eyes, glancing down, he saw a slight glow under the bandages on his right arm.
A nun + Fallen Angels = Sacred Gear!
This had warning signs all over it. If the Fallen Angels, which had slight control of few churches through their stray priests, had this girl transferred all the way here, it must mean that she had a Sacred Gear that they either had to get rid of fast, or they wanted for themselves. He needed a plan.
He kept his face from showing any bad expressions as he continued picking up the girl's stuff. He raised a brow though when he picked up a pair of underwear with a teddy bear on the back. "Hm…"
The girl saw him holding her panties, and quickly snatched them, her face turning red in embarrassment. He chuckled sheepishly at her. "Sorry about that. I shouldn't have grabbed your…um *snicker* teddies." He couldn't help but laugh, increasing her embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't!"
"Mhhh!" She covered her red face with her hands. "You saw a bad side of me!"
Naruto just continued to chuckle. Getting his laugh under control, he finished collecting her stuff and putting them in the case. Closing it, he stood up. Holding a hand for her, he helped her up. "There we go. Are you okay, sister?" He asked, concerned for her.
She smiled innocently at him. "Yes. Thank you for your help." She said with a light bow as she grabbed her case. Naruto took the time to get a good look at her. She had an innocent air around her, one that makes people think there wasn't a shred of darkness in her. Her blonde hair flowed all the way down her back, with split bangs over her forehead, and a single strand sticking out from under the veil. Her attire was of a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. He also saw a silver cross necklace around her neck.
"Are you traveling?" He asked. It was time for questions.
She shook her head. "No. I was appointed to the church in this city, but I got lost on the way."
Warning bells rang in his head. So she was sent here for those Fallen Angels. But why? Why sent for this innocent girl? He knew they weren't some sharks, waiting for any fresh prey they see. 'Well, not all of them anyway.' He needed to find out what was going on, and fast. He smiled kindly at her. "I know where the church is. If you want, I can take you there."
She gasped happily, clapping her hands. "Really?! Thank you so much! This is truly the Lord's will!"
Smiling kindly, Naruto began leading the way, the girl by his side. "I didn't catch your name. I'm Naruto. Naruto Diabolus."
She smiled at him. "I'm Asia Argento. It's great to meet you, Mr. Diabolus."
Naruto waved at her. "Now, now. No need for 'Mr.', just call me Naruto." While reluctant to address him so casually, as it would be impolite, she nodded. "So Asia-san. You from Italy, correct? Given how you speak Italian."
Asia nodded. "Actually I just came from America, I just got here. My Japanese is not very good. Whenever I talk to someone, they would ignore me, or look at me strangely. It is quite the miracle I run into someone who speaks Italian like me." She said happily.
Naruto smiled at her. Though, the reason he was able to speak Italian, was because of his Nephalem ability to understand and speak any language through contact. As the two walked, he placed a small illusion over her, making her think the two were talking as they walked. Slowing down a little, he walked behind her as he took out his phone. Dialing a number, he waited for the person to answer.
"Naruto."
"Morrison, listen. I found this girl."
"Wow Naruto, never took you for the guy to brag about the girls he bags."
"Shut up idiot, and listen. She's a nun. From America."
"…"
"So you get at where I'm heading with this."
"What is a nun doing in Kuoh? Especially with all these monsters and Hell Demons around?"
"She says she was transferred to the church here."
"But the only church in Kuoh is…"
"Exactly. I detected a Sacred Gear in her."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I'm going to lead her to that abandoned building at the east side of town. The one next to the orphanage. I'll place a low-level illusion on her to make her think it's a church. Fix that place up as much as you can. Need you to act as the Father. Get some of your boys to play roles. I need to find out what those black winged wolfs want with her. In the meantime, find out everything you can about Asia Argento."
"Right. I'll have everything set in an hour."
Hanging up, he continued to lead the young girl. "So, how was your first experience in Japan?" He asked, to stall for time.
Asia smiled softly. "It was quite interesting, but different. I didn't understand what anyone was saying, or could read the words. I was lost."
"Didn't any one come get you, or a helper to come with you?"
She shook her head.
He frowned. "That's not right. What kind of idiots leave a cute girl like you by herself?! A true gentlemen should not hesitate to help a sweet girl like you." Asia blushed at being called cute. "Oh well! I'm your friend now! So if you ever need my help, just call or come to me, and I'll be there!" He said as he handed her his card. Luckily he used his magic to change the language to English in her eyes. Asia took the care gratefully, hugging it to her chest, a large smile on her face.
"Thank you so much, Naruto! May the Lord bless you for years to come for your assistance!" He just smiled at her. Just then, the two heard a cry. Looking over, they saw a young boy on the ground, crying, holding his knee where a scrape was seen.
Asia walked toward him. "Hey." She said, getting the boy's attention. "Are you okay? A boy shouldn't be crying over little things like this." The boy blinked at her, not understanding what she was saying. Naruto followed her in curiosity, wondering what she was going to do. Asia raised her hands and hovered them over the cut. She closed her eyes, and to Naruto's surprise, her hands began to glow light green. Naruto and the boy watched in amazement as the cut began to rapidly heal. Looking down, he saw the glow in his arm increase a bit. He quickly hid it behind his back. 'What is that energy? It's almost Holy, but at the same time, something different.'
In seconds, the scrape was gone. The glow vanished, and Asia smiled gently at the boy, ruffling his head. "There we go." She then stood up, looking at Naruto as if just realizing he was there. She bowed slightly, sticking her tongue out and bumping her head. "I'm sorry, I just instinctively helped him." Naruto waved her off.
"Mah, mah. Don't worry about it. I'm just glad the kid's safe."
Just then, the kid's mother came and dragged him away, shooting Asia a cautious look. The girl looked down sadly at the look, while Naruto glared at the woman, shooting her spike of his Killer Intent, scaring her as she quickly left with her son. But before they left, the boy shouted out at Asia. "Thank you, onee-chan!"
Asia tilted her head in confusion, as Naruto smile at her. "He said 'thank you, sister'." He translated, making Asia smile. "So that energy…"
The nun smiled happily. "It's my power of healing. It's an amazing power granted to me by God."
He smiled at her happiness. Strange, he's been smiling a lot around this girl. "Well it sure was something."
"Um…"
He looked at her, "Hm?"
"Forgive me if I'm rude, but are you alright?" She asked as she pointed to his bandaged arm. Looking at it, he raised it.
"Oh this? It's nothing. It's just badly burned after an accident. It doesn't hurt anymore." He said.
"Um, if you want, I can heal it with my power." She suggested, but Naruto shook his head.
"That's alright. The damage is quite gruesome. I don't want to scare you away." He said with a chuckle. "Besides, I like to keep it as a memory."
Asia tilted her head. "Memory?"
Naruto nodded. "Yep! It was a huge fire, and my friends were in the middle. I tried hard to save them. Even if my arm was damaged, I would gladly do it again if it meant protecting my precious people." He told a lie. The real reason was much more horrific, an event neither he or his peerage would ever forget.
"Precious…people?"
"Right. To me, a person truly become stronger, when they are fighting for their precious people. The ones they hold closest to their hearts."
Asia smiled sadly, a look of longing in her eyes. "The ones you hold closest to your heart." She muttered sadly.
"Hai. You see, I'm an orphan." He admitted, shocking Asia. "I never knew my true parents, and my adopted father is gone. To me, having people I care about, fills the void in my heart. They keep me going." He smiled as he looked up at the sky, the images of his adoptive father, and his peerage passing through his head. "I would fight an army, if it meant keeping my precious people safe." He looked at Asia and smiled at her. Her cheeks burned when she saw his smile, feeling his happiness and friendship shining through it. "I can see the loneliness in your eyes, Asia-chan. I don't like it. I hate seeing one of my precious persons sad or hurt."
The nun gasped. He thought of her as one of his precious persons?! But, he didn't even know her that well! She was about to say something, when Naruto placed his hand on the top of her head. "We may not know each other that long, but we talked, we laughed, and we gave our names. That's good enough for me! So if you ever need me, I'm there!" He told her.
Asia's eyes grew tearful. She never, had anyone who thought of her as their precious person. To know this man, who just met her today considered her one, it made her happy. She smiled widely as a tear came down her cheek, which Naruto wiped off, making her blush as he walked her off. He made sure she didn't see the church building on the far distance. As the two walked, he placed on illusion on her to not let her know that they were just walking aimlessly around town for an hour.
Soon, after an hour – but only 20 minutes to Asia – the two stopped at an old building. However, in Asia's eyes it was clean and freshly painted. Naruto felt guilty he was tricking his new friend, but it was necessary. He was protecting her life from the Fallen Angels.
"Well, here we are!"
Asia gasped happily and clapped her hands. "Ah, this is it! I'm so glad!"
Just then, the door opened, and a man stepped out. He had short sandy blonde hair and a mustache, dark brown eyes, and wore a priest outfit. He smiled when he saw the two. "Ah! Sister Asia! Welcome to Japan! We've been expecting you!" The man said in Italian. "I am Father Morrison."
Asia bowed in greetings. "H-Hello, Father! Thank you for having me here."
Morrison chuckled, "Think nothing of it, my dear. Please, come in!" He said, moving to go back inside. He swiftly nodded at Naruto, who nodded back, Asia none the wiser.
Naruto turned to leave. "Well, I should be going."
The nun quickly turned to him before he could go. "Eh?! Please wait!" She called, making him stop and look at her in confusion. She nervously pressed her fingers together. "Um, you've taken me all the way here, I'd like to repay you with some tea as a token of gratitude."
Smiling at her, the hybrid waved her off. "Mah, mah. It's alright. I'm glad to have helped you. Unfortunately, I'm quite busy at the moment. I have a show to perform." He said, pointing to his case.
"Oh? Well…um, if it's alright, maybe I could come?" She asked nervously. Naruto gave her an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, but it's only for adults. Maybe one day we could just hang out. You have my card, so call me when you like." Suddenly, he felt a familiar pulse of energy.
A Fallen Angel
Glancing at the corner of his eyes, he looked at the direction the energy came from. Focusing, he bit back a curse when he sensed Issei's energy. Not only that, but he sensed two Fallen Angels! The gaki's in trouble!
He looked at the nun. "I have to go before I'm late. I promise to visit you soon, Asia-chan!" With that, he ran off.
Standing at the steps of the 'church' Asia watched Naruto leave. She smiled faintly. "Bye, Naruto-kun." She muttered before she went inside.
Earlier with Issei
Issei grumbled as he made his way home. After he and Naruto separated, the brunette went to his next contract. It was a man who was a lolicon, as he would dress Koneko in cosplay outfits when he summons her. The two soon got in a huge fight over who was the biggest Drag So-Ball fan. They were so into it that Issei forgot to complete the contract.
"Man~. Buchou's going to lecture me on not fulfilling the contract. And what about Naruto? I let him down." He said sadly. Sighing, he continued walking the empty streets. Suddenly, he stopped, as a shiver went up his spine. "W-What was that?" He asked. He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of doom hit him. It was more powerful than the sense he gets before girls at school beat him up.
His body twitched, like it tried as hard as it could to run away, but was stuck. His heart began beat loudly against his chest. 'Wh-What is this irritating feelings?' Just then, he could hear the sounds of footsteps. Turning around, Issei saw a figure walking out of the shadows.
"How unfortunate," The figure spoke. "To be bumping into someone like yourself in a place like this." The person was a middle-aged man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. He wore a dark colored trench coat over a white dress shirt, with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, and a black fedora.
A bead of sweat dripped down Issei's face, he took a step back from this strange man. 'What is this energy? It's making my body shake.'
The man chuckled darkly. "Trying to run away? It is hopeless, little devil. Tell me, who is your master?"
"What?"
"Or could it be that you are a stray?" Suddenly, dark colored, pitch black wings shot out of the man's back, making Issei gasp.
'Those wings! They are like Yuuma's! This man's a Fallen Angel!'
The man smirked wickedly at the frightened devil. "I do not sense your master near us. Too bad, guess I must settle with killing one." He held out his hand, and a blue spear of light appeared. Issei gulped at seeing the spear, he could just feel the tainted holy energy coming off it, making his hairs stand on end. He quickly turned and began running as fast as he could. The man chuckled at seeing his prey run.
Issei ran as fast and as far away from that man as he could. He couldn't take him on! He wasn't a fighter like Naruto, and he didn't have anything special like a sword or guns! 'I've got to get out of here! I need to find Naruto or Buchou!' He thought franticly. Suddenly, he was halted in his steps as a yellow light spear pierced his path. Looking up, he saw a tall woman with long, navy blue hair and brown eyes. She had a violet, trench coat top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top was open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. Normally, he would ogle the cleavage, but the thing that caught his attention, were the black wings behind her.
"And where do you think you are going, little devil?"
He took a step back as she approached him. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the man behind him.
"You are trapped. There is no change. It's time for you to die." The man said.
Issei gulped as his body trembled. There was no escape. He was going to die!
The woman summoned another spear and threw it at him. Issei managed to dodge at the last seconds, but was still nicked at the shoulder. As he dodged, the crest on his hand glowed. The two fallen angels gasped when they saw it. "The mark of the Gremory clan?!" The woman questioned.
Issei landed on the ground, but quickly stood up. "I can't fight! I'm trapped! Am I going to die AGAIN?!"
"So, you are a servant of the Gremory House." The man stated as he summoned his light spear. He floated up into the air, hovering over the [Pawn]. "You damn devils disgust me!"
The woman followed his lead, flying up. "For a puny devil to be wandering the streets, as if you have a purpose. You have an even greater cause to be terminated!" As one, the two launched their spears at the scared Issei.
'They're going to kill me! And Naruto isn't here! I need to protect myself! I need power! Power to defeat them!' As time seemed to be moving slower, his left arm pulsed.
Power
"Imagine the strongest image you can muster, and strike a pose that makes your feel like you could draw out a strong power from within." Rias told him.
I need…power.
"That's Saramago Takeru! The strongest man in the entire world!" Issei said strongly to Morisawa, Koneko's client.
I need more…power!
Stopping as well, Naruto looked at him, his expression serious. "Listen kid. Being a devil isn't all fun and games, and getting girls. Devils and other demons have many enemies. Angels, churches, Fallen Angels, even some humans. You will have many enemies that will seek for your death just because you are a devil. Can you deal with all of that?" He asked.
I need POWER!
Suddenly, his arm glowed in a burst of green energy. A large surge of power bursted out of him, pushing the two back, and disintegrating the spears. When Issei opened his eyes, he gasped at what was now on his hand. It looked like a crimson armored bracer with yellow-like horns on the sides and an emerald gem on the top. His fingers were uncovered.
"Wow! Is this…my Sacred Gear?" He asked himself as he looked at the gauntlet, which seemed to pulse.
The two fallen angels grunted as they stood up. "A Sacred Gear?! This is bad! Dohnaseek! We should retreat and report back to the esteemed one!"
The now named Dohnaseek ignored her and glared at the surprised Issei. "Shut up, Kalawarner! Retreating is for cowards! I will not be a coward! I will tear off his arm and bring it back as a trophy!" He made a spear and threw it at the teen. Issei was too shocked at seeing his Sacred Gear that he didn't have time to move out of the way.
BANG! BANG!
The light spear shattered as bullets pierced though it. The three turned and Issei sighed in relief as Naruto walked toward them. He aimed Lilith at the fallen angels as he walked to Issei. "Two against one? You fallen angels have a sick sense fair play, and its beginning to piss me of. You okay kid?" He asked the brunette, before seeing the gauntlet. "Nice armor. Let me guess, that's your Sacred Gear?"
Issei nodded. "Uh yeah."
"Hm. A Twice Critical. I expected something more." 'But what is that strange energy I'm reading? It feels powerful, and…alive?' The hunter thought as he looked at the gem, before turning his attention to the two dark angels.
"Who the hell are you?! Another pathetic devil?!" The woman asked. Naruto smirked at him, and gave a light bow.
"Greeting, oh mighty dark feathered chicken. I am Naruto Diabolus, a demon hunter. And I'm afraid you are attacking my little student here." Shocking Issei at the title.
Dohnaseek rose a brow at him. "A demon hunter? What is a hunter doing protecting a devil?!"
Naruto chuckled. "Now that…is none of your business. Now I suggest you two leave, or things are going to get ugly." He warned as he set his case on the ground beside him.
Kalawarner scoffed and made a light spear. "Don't joke with us human!" She shouted and charged at him, her wings spread.
Naruto frowned and aimed Lilith at her. He fired a few shots, which she dodged. Leaning forward, he charged at her, holding his hand out. "Rebellion!" In a flash, his broadsword appeared. Leaping up, he clashed with the female in the middle. The two struggled in power as they tried to push the other back. Snapping his leg up, he kicked her backwards. Landing, he moved his blade to the side, blocking a thrown spear from Dohnaseek. Aiming his gun, he fired shots at him, making the older man leap back.
Kalawarner got up and charged at him again, this time with two spears. Naruto pushed of the ground and backpedaled backwards, using Rebellion to block her stabs. Their arms were a blur as they either stabbed and swiped or blocked. Pushing a spear to the side, he aimed his gun at Kalawarner's chest at point blank. Pulling back on the trigger, the fallen angel barely leaned her body backwards fast enough, as the bullet pierced through her shoulder. "GAAAHH!" She screamed as he kicked her in the face, sending her backwards.
Landing in the ground, he barely heard Issei's shout. "NARUTO! LOOK OUT!"
"I've got you!" Dohnaseek yelled as he appeared in Naruto's side, ready to stab him with his spear. Naruto cursed and lifted his right arm up. Time seemed to move slower as the spear neared him. It was inches away, when it clashed with a small lock on the chain around the arm.
CLANG!
The street was silent, all the individuals holding their breaths, when a large pulse of energy shut outwards, spreading through the town. Dohnaseek was pushed back all the way to the wall, as the lock began cracking. It soon shattered to pieces.
Under the bandages, the arm glowed brightly, catching everyone's attention.
"Naruto?" Issei asked, worried for his friends. The white haired man looked down at the arm, scowling.
"Damn it! Do you have any idea how much those holy locks cost?!" He yelled at the fallen angel. Sighing, he grabbed the chains and took them off. He then began to unwrap the arm. "Oh well. Guess I must reveal the trick up my sleeve." He muttered as the bandaged fell to the ground, allowing everyone to see his arm.
It looked demonic in appearance. Where there used to be flesh, was now an organic armor. It looked to be cracked from the elbow to the back of the hand, which glowed with blue energy. The fingers and palm were also glowing blue.
Issei was shocked at the arm's appearance as Naruto flexed his fingers. "N-Naruto? Wh-What is that?! Is that a Sacred Gear?" He asked.
"Hm?" The man asked, looking at him. He looked back at his arm as he raised it. "This? Well gaki, meet the Devil Bringer. Don't ask how I've got it. Damn thing can drive me crazy." He said as he shook his hand. He then turned back to the fallen angels, dusting off his hands. "Issei!" He called, getting the teen's attention. "Can I trust you and that fancy tool of your to watch my back?" He asked as he rested Rebellion on his left shoulder.
"Huh?" The brunette asked, looking down at his S.G. Blinking, he shook his head. "O-Of course!" He declared running to Naruto's side. The man nodded.
"Good, because here they come." He said as the F.A charged at the two.

Naruto fired a barrage of bullet at the two opponents, however they merely maneuvered out of the way. Grabbing Rebellion, he charged at them. Getting close, he slashed at them, clashing with Kalawarner. On the corner of his eyes, he saw Dohnaseek charge at Issei. Grunting, he pulled back his right arm and punched Kalawarner across the face. She yelled as the strength of the punch broke her nose as she was sent back.
Turning around, he raised his sword in the air and stabbed down hard into the ground. Grunting, he pulled backwards, breaking a large chunk of the ground. Grabbing it, he threw the piece as hard as he could at the F.A. The piece shot like a bullet at blinking speed and slammed into his back.
"AAAHHH!" Dohnaseek yelled as he crashed to the ground.
"Issei!" Naruto called at him. "My case! Grab something!" He told him as he moved at Kalawarner.
Issei blinked in confusion, before looking at the large case on his side. Moving to it, he opened it up, and gasped at all the weapons inside. "Wh-What is this?!" He questioned, before he saw Dohnaseek charge at him once more. He quickly grabbed the handle of a sword he saw, and held it in front of him.
The man impacted him hard, clashing his spear against the blade. Issei gritted his teeth as he tried to keep his hold on the sword. "Pathetic! You don't even know how to use a sword! Give up kid! You're done!"
Issei glared at him. "No…I'm…NOT!" He yelled as the jewel on the gauntlet glowed brightly. Issei felt power spread through him as his devil wings bursted out of his back.
Dohnaseek grunted as he was pushed back at the unexpected strength increase. He gasped as the human/devil charged it him, slashing his blade upward. Using his spear, he countered and pushed it to the side. He was about to punch at the teen, but Issei beat him to it as his first came up and punched him up at the chin.
His eyes seemed to glow in the darkness of the night as the teen spread his wings and followed him up in the air. His consciousness was dazed as his devil instincts took over.
Dohnaseek snapped out of his shocked dazed, anger replacing it. He was not about to be beaten by a devil! Especially a weak one! Spreading his wings, he halted in the air and brought up his spear. He blocked the teen's sword strike, he kicked him on the side, sending his flying. He then threw it after him.
Issei picked himself up, but gasped as the spear pierced through him at the stomach. He coughed up blood as he fell to the ground.
Naruto slashed down at Kalawarner, who moved out of the way in time. She quickly slashed at him with her spear, but he blocked the stab by raising his Devil Bringer, a clanging noise sounding as the tip struck the steel-hard armor. Grabbing the spear with his blue hand, he used his super strength to lift her up, much to her shock, and turning around, threw her over his shoulder.
Kalawarner grunted as she skidded and rolled across the ground before stopping. She glared at Naruto as she stood up. Said man merely smirked at her. "What's wrong? Don't tell me you're getting tired." He taunted.
Growling at him, she threw her spear at him, before charging after. Stabbing Rebellion into the ground, Naruto took out Iofiel and Lilith, aiming both his guns, he fired a storm of bullets at the spear, shattering it. As Kalawarner neared him, he kicked his sword up from the ground. With it spinning in the air, he kicked it at the handle, shooting it forward like a spear at her.
Gasping at the incoming blade, Kalawarner quickly moved out of the way, the swords passing just inches away from her chest. However, it was merely a diversion as Naruto appeared over her. She didn't even have the time to gasp as he reared his demonic arm back. It glowed with energy, as suddenly, a slightly bigger spectral copy of the arm appeared next to it. With a yell, he slammed both arms into her chest, slamming her hard into the ground, making a large crater as she coughed up blood.
She was in so much pain, she shouldn't even scream as her ribs were broken. She was sure one of piercing her liver. Her body twitched as she tried to move, but it was not to be. Naruto stood over her, the glow in his arm vanishing. Reaching down, he grabbed Kalawarner by her neck and pulled her close to him. She tried to speak as the grip around her neck tightened.
"Now," He said, making her open her eyes. He glared at her, his violet eyes glowing. "I have some questions, and you will answer them!" He growled. He about to begin interrogating her, when he had to jump out of the way as a light spear passed him. Growling in anger, he turned his head and saw Dohnaseek. Scowling, he was ready the get rid of the man, when he saw Issei pierced by a spear.
Growling, he jumped back to where Rebellion was stabbed into a wall, and got it out. Putting it on his back, he aimed his guns at the two and fired a nearly infinite amount of bullets.
Dohnaseek quickly grabbed Kalawarner, and flew out of the way. Naruto fired after them, but they soon vanished. Scowling at losing his answers, he put it out of his mind for now. Sheathing his guns, he looked at the nearly unconscious Issei and ran to him. Grabbing the spear, the energy weapon was absorbed into his Devil Bringer. Looking at the hole in his stomach, he quickly ran and grabbed his case. Moving the weapons to the side, he grabbed a small chest.
Moving to Issei's side, he opened the chest. Inside, were several small orbs shaped like skulls of different colors. He grabbed a green skull, then slowly closed it around his hand, until it began to crack. He then put it on the teen's wound and crushed it, spraying the green dust into the hole. He watched as the wound glowed green and began to close. 'Good thing I have these Hell Orbs. Their power can even bypass even holy energy.' Soon the wound was gone, making him sigh in relief.
He looked at the gauntlet, and watched it vanish. "Kid, I'm beginning to think this will be a regular thing with you." He said before he lifted Issei over his shoulder. Grabbing his case, he snapped his fingers, making his seal appeared under him. In a flash, he vanished, teleporting to the kid's house for some rest.
Just another regular night for him.
End of Chapter 3!
Fun FIC note #1: Just because someone is turned with an Evil/Devil Piece, doesn't make them fully a part of the Devil race. They are called mixed. They AREN'T hybrids. An example is Akeno. She is a Fallen Angel/Devil MIX! She's a Fallen Angel, with Devil powers.
The same counts for Naruto's peerage. They are MIXED.
Naruto is the only HYBRID so far. You are only a hybrid by birth. The Evil Piece system doesn't count!
Hybrids are beings of different bloods. Works for vampires when they turn humans as they have vampire blood within them.
Reincarnated Devils don't gain Devil blood, only energy and power.
Reason: This separates the reincarnated devils from the Lost Faction beings.
Fun FIC note #2: Naruto is sort of like a Fallen Angel, yet not. Fallen Angels are ex-holy beings that have tainted by sin energy in them. Naruto is half angel/devil. He had both holy and demonic energy in him. So in a way, he is an angel that sin in him, but will NEVER fall. No matter how much sin he does. It's because of this fact, that he's highly wanted by the Fallen Angels and want him to join them. It's also something that makes Heaven and the Underworld confused on what to do with him.
Also, Naruto's peerage will appear soon. They are already chosen, and I will NOT change my mind. SO DON'T ASK!
Now, as you can see, some things will be different than the cannon. You will see more later.
Pairings! They are UNDECIDED! I have a general idea, but I will need to think about it. All I can tell you is that Naruto WILL have a HAREM, likely MASS HAREM. Just no clue on the length.
And don't worry. Issei will have a harem as well. Just much smaller than Naruto's.
Alright, Ja ne!
