(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or High School DxD)
'You, are most certainly an interesting person, Naruto' Rias thought to herself as she looked down at the blond illuminated by the morning light she held in her arms. Looking at his sleeping face her mind drifted off to yesterday's events.
"So all we have to do is eliminate this rouge devil" Jiraiya asked as the group stood in front of an old and decaying western style building.
"Apprehending the rouge devil is also an option, but yes" Rias told the man as she stared at the building.
"The stench of blood" Koneko commented as she held her hand over her nose.
'Sensitive nose huh?' Jiraiya noted as he looked over at the girl. Even being so familiar with that particular smell as he had become in his many years of fighting the old pervert couldn't catch a hint of blood from their spot out side.
"Naruto, this should be a good chance for you to watch us devil's in battle" Rias told the blond after they walked up to the front doors and opened them.
"Watch?!" Naruto questioned as he looked at the girl like she was crazy. "I've gotten my ass handed to me twice in the past couple of days. There's no way in hell I'm just going to stand back and watch while you guys take care of this" Naruto told her. He was just starting to get out of his funk with the training he did earlier, sitting on the sidelines while everyone else fought just didn't feel right to the blond.
"Well, if you're so confident then I might just have to let you have the first go then" Rias told the blond as she looked over her shoulder at her. "If I manage to explain what traits underlings have before we find our target" the red haired girl added, ending the blonds small celebration.
"Say what?" Naruto asked as he looked at the girl questioningly.
With a small smirk the girl began her explanation "I've already explained the relationship between devils, angels, and fallen angels. In the prolonged war, no matter which side, they were all exhausted. On the devil side, we lost a lot of pure blood and we couldn't rally the armed forces. So we started a process to train a few elites called evil pieces". "Naruto, do you know what chess is?" Rias asked the blond.
"It's like shogi right?" the blond asked wondering what a board game had to do with this.
"The pieces in chess are king, queen, knight, rook, bishop, and pawn. Each piece has it's own traits. For the same reason, each underling devil undergoes training in a different ability. Although they do not have many skills, they are very powerful in the ones they do know. It's really popular, to the point that even now, as an evil piece, they are being used in a strength competition called rating game between noble devils" the red haired devil tells the blond. After Naruto asked what a rating game was the girl continued "Simply speaking, it's putting an underling devil on the game board and do actual battle like a large scale, live chess game. But it's to the point where this could influence a devil's position and their nobility ranks".
"Hehehe, sounds fun to me. Training out in the woods for the past couple years has gotten pretty boring" Naruto admitted with a grin as he held his hands behind his head.
"I'm still not a mature devil yet, so I still can't officially show up in the arena" Rias told him as she stood in front of an old wooden door looking over her shoulder at Naruto with a smirk at his small pout.
"We haven't appeared in that kind of arena either" Kiba told him as both him and Koneko walked up to him and Rias.
"To be a participant, you need to meet certain requirements. Anyway you wont be able to participate in the game for quite a while" the red haired devil told him as she opened the door.
"You're talking about all this evil pieces and rating games but I still don't know what piece I'm suppose to be" Naruto told her as he let all the information he just got sink in.
"Naruto, you are" Rias started when her eyes hardened and turned from the blond next to her to the room she just opened up.
"What a delicious sent" a feminine voice came from the shadow enveloped room.
"It's coming" Rias said as she stood confidently at the front of the room.
"This room reeks of death" Jiraiya voiced the thought running through everyone else's head after entering after them.
"Rouge devil Vizor, we're here to destroy you!" Rias called out before the torso of a woman was sent flying at the group and slammed into the wall next to them.
'This' Naruto thought as he stared at the corpse with clenched fists. 'This sick bastard!' Naruto thought as he turned back to see the rouge devil slowly slide out of the darkness.
"What a nice sent. Just like your hair, your flesh must be fresh and red, right? I rally want to eat it" the woman said as her body became visible, showing of her naked human like upper torso and lower body of a massive four legged beast with a bloody javelin in each hand.
"What an appearance that lacks etiquette, It fits you well" Rias verbally jabbed at the monstrosity before them with her arms folded under her large bust.
"What a pretentious little girl. Should I stain you with fresh blood, just like your crimson hair" the woman shot back at the girl.
"So is it true that the smaller the dog the, the louder the bark?" Rias calmly asked.
"You bit-Ghau!" Vizor was shouting as she drew her arm back to run the devil through with her javelin when Naruto's fist found its way firmly planted into her face.
"Naruto! What are you doing!?" Rias called out in surprise, much like Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno, and was about to step in when Jiraiya put a hand on her shoulder.
"Just stand back and watch" the old man told her as he kept his eyes on the blond.
"But, Jiraiya, surely you're jesting" Kiba asked the white haired pervert.
"He'll be fine. Besides, this should be perfect for relieving some of the stress that's been building up in him recently" Jiraiya told the boy.
"You bastard! You broke my nose!" Vizor raged with blood pouring down her face as she thrust her pawed foot down at the blond.
"Shadow clone justu!" Naruto called out as he brought his hands together and both him and the nearing paw becoming enveloped in smoke.
"Hiding wont help you!" the beast roared as the sound of the floor shattering beneath her paw rang throughout the room.
"Who says I'm hiding?" Naruto calls out as half a dozen blond duplicates burst from the fading cloud to begin their assault on the woman.
After going back and forth with the clones and receiving broken bones, bruises, and slashes from their assault Vizor's attention was drawn upward by yet another blond. "Let's see how you handle this!" Naruto told her as he shot straight for her with a violently spinning and churning shear of chakra in his right hand. "Rasengan!" the blond called out the name of his sacred gear charged jutsu as it tor through her body like paper and tearing apart the floor after leaving nothing left of her upper body.
'He seemed so disappointed when I told him he was a pawn' Rias thought her herself as she watched Naruto starting to wake up. "Finally awake?" Rias said with a smile as the blonds blue eyes widened in surprise and he fell out of the bed with a bloody nose.
"R-Rias? Why are you in my bed, again!?" Naruto asked the girl as he sat on the floor with his nose covering his nose and his eyes roaming her naked form.
"Jiraiya insisted that I stay the knight after we finished talking last night. I figured that you wouldn't mind if slipped into bed with you" Rias said as she sat.
'Jiraiya you old pervert I owe you one' the blond thought to himself with a stupid grin.
That night
"This is the place, huh?" Naruto said to himself as he dropped down in front of someone's house while looking at a piece of paper with directions on it. "Hello, anyone here? I came to fulfill the contract" Naruto called out as he entered through the open door. 'This doesn't feel right' the blond thought to himself as the houses atmosphere became to permeate his senses. After entering the living room Naruto was horrified to find a man nailed upside-down on the wall with a pool of blood on the floor below him. 'The hell' Naruto thought as he took a step back and raised his hands in a defensive stance.
"Welcome! What do we have here, devil!" the voice drew Naruto's attention to a young man in a clerics attire with near shoulder length white hair and red eyes. "I'm a priest, a young priest" the man began in an almost sing-song voice as he twirled about, much to Naruto's utter confusion as he found himself unable to take his eyes off the strange man. "Cutting down all the devilish fiends while the nihilistic me is laughing~ Chopping off your devilish head, then go ahead and eat~ I'm father Freed Sellzen" the man finished his twirling as he stopped in front of Naruto with a wide grin just inches from the blond's face.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow as he took a step back from the man.
"Of course! I'm the last ranking member who belongs to an organization that hunts down devils. Ah, just because I told you my name doesn't mean you have to tell me yours. It's really fine because you'll be dead soon. well, I'll give you a sendoff. In the beginning it may hurt a little, but soon it'll fell so good you will cry. Let's open the gate to a new world ze!" the priest rambled with a smile and a hand over his heart.
"Cut the bullshit already and tell me why you did this!" Naruto all but yelled as he started getting pissed off at the guy and gestured to the corpse hanging on the wall.
"Yes yes! Because this one is a repeat offender" the man happily answered.
"Repeat offender?" Naruto repeated with gritted teeth.
"Ahh? You're a devil and yet you don't understand? All idiots will die, you know? All humans who sing contracts with the devil are trash! There is no reason for them to live on" father Freed told him with is happy expression still in place.
"And you have no problem with killing someone for that!?" Naruto asked the man as he grabbed hold of his shirt. "You don't even feel any remorse do you? You sick bastard!" Naruto all but yelled at the man now thoroughly pissed at how nonchalantly this guy is talking about killing an innocent man.
"Haahahahaha! That's funny! That's really funny! Even a devil has to give me a lecture?" Sellzen began cracking up as tears began to well up in the corners of his eyes as a result of his laughter. After calming down Sellzen looked the blond straight in the eyes as he began "Listen well you shitty devil. You feed on desire, right? The humans who provide you substance can't be called human anymore. Therefore, I kill them before they're tainted even further" Sellzen said as he kicked the man's corpse, only furthering Naruto's rage as his grip on the priest clothes tightened. "Kindness, this is kindness, ame-Nnnnnnngh!" Sellzen was saying when Naruto punched him across the room.
"You sick bastard! Scum like you don't have the right to go around preaching from a pedestal!" Naruto yelled at the man as he activated his sacred gear.
"Ha! A shitty devil calling me scum?" Sellzen said with an excited expression as he got up and wiped the blood coming from his split lip. "I'm going to enjoy filling you with holes and cutting you to pieces" the priest tells him with a grin as he pulls out a pistol with a cross symbol on the barrel and a sword hilt that generates a blade of light. "Here I come!" Sellzen cheered as he jumped at the blond with his weapons in hand.
'Fast' Naruto thought as he dodged the blade and rolled to the other side of the room. 'Not fast enough' the blond thought with a wide grin before the pain hit him and his eyes darted to the bullet hole in his leg.
"How's that, the power of devil exterminating bullets?" Sellzen asked as he held the smoking barrel of his gun in front of his face.
"The bullets, there made of" Naruto was saying with a wince as he held his leg.
"Correct! These are bullets of light! Does it hurt? Hey, it hurts doesn't it!?" the priest joyfully asked the blond. "Die! Die you shitty devil! Turn to dust and go up in the air! Just for my pleasure ha ha ha!" the priest yelled out as he rushed the blond with his sword raised.
'Dan bastard, no way I'm going to lose to this guy' Naruto thought as he was about to use his good leg to jump out of the way when someone jumped between him and father Freed to both of their surprise.
"Hey, that was dangerous! You were almost split into two! Have you finished preparing the trap Asia" Sellzen, now pissed at being interrupted, asked the young nun who's outfit had been slashed by his sword revealing her bra.
"Please stop! Why do you have to do this to Naruto?" Asia questioned the man with pleading eyes.
"Eh? You know this guy?" Sellzen asked with squinted eyes. "That's funny! Is this a forbidden romance between a devil and nun?" the priest asked with a shit eating grin.
"Naruto is a devil?" the blond girl asked with a stunned expression.
"That's right, you know? This guy is the shit of shitty devils. What, did you not know before? Ah forget it, soon this guy will turn into a similar work of art!" father Freed told her, directing her attention to the corpse on the wall.
With a horrified expression and tears starting to form, "N-No! Ahhhh!" Asia let out as her hand shot up to her mouth.
"Is this Asia's first time seeing a corpse? Then take a good look! Any human waste who is mesmerized by a devil will be sent to hell this way" Sellzen told her.
'I'll break, every bone in this bastard's body' Naruto thought as he got back up on his feet.
"That's the way it is. if we don't kill this devil, we wont be able to complete our job. Asia, hurry up and get back into position and deploy your trap, okay?" Sellzen said as he got in Asia's face, only for her to defiantly stand between him and Naruto.
"Er, Asia, do you know what you're doing right now?" Sellzen asked as he rubbed the back of his head with his gun.
"I understand! Father Freed, please let this person go!" Asia pleaded with the man. "I don't like this, just because the person led astray by the devil, and using that reason to kill people as well as devils" Asia said with her bags covering her eyes and tears beginning to fall from her eyes and down her cheeks. "This is wrong!" the young nun yelled as her eyes became fully visible again.
"Ahh!? What the hell are you talking about, you shitty nun!? All devils are shit, didn't you learn that in church!? Are you brain damaged!?" Sellzen yelled at her as he grabbed hold of what clothes she had remaining on her.
"There are some good people within the devils!" Asia told the man.
"None at all, idiot!" Sellzen shouted into her face.
"I-I thought that before, but Naruto's is not like that! Even if I know he's a devil, Naruto is still Naruto! Killing people is unforgivable! This, this! The Lord doesn't allow this!" Asia was arguing when Sellzen went to smack her across the head with his gun, only to have his hand stopped when Naruto grabbed hold of it just before he struck the girl.
"Don't you dare, lay a hand on her" Naruto said to the priest that was stunned along with Asia at the blond devil. Father Freed was about to yell something else when Naruto yanked the gun out of his hand and with his other hand slammed into the priests cheeks, sending him into the wall on the other end of the room.
"Naruto?" Asia softly spoke as she looked up at the blond standing directly behind her.
Tossing the gun aside Naruto picked the young girl, to her shook and embarrassment, up bridle style and told her with a smile "Come on, we're getting you out of here". With that out of the way Naruto turned around and made his way to the front door, ignoring the priest as he pulled himself off the floor again.
"Wait, Naruto, what about your leg?" Asia asked, concerned about the wound in the blonds thigh as they got out side and Naruto hopped up onto the nearest room.
"Don't worry about it. I've been through way worse than this" Naruto told her with a smile as he did his best to ignore the mind numbing pain running through his body.
"Worse!? What happened that was worse!?" Asia asked making Naruto regret his choice of words as the girl seems even more worried now.
"What kind of stupid devil thinks they can just run off with a nun like this?" a fallen angel in a gothic lolita outfit with a large matching black bow on top of her head between her blond twintails Called out as she rushed the blond with a spear of light fully ready to impale him.
"Sorry" Naruto told her as he avoided her weapon and kneed her in the side. "I don't have time to spend with even a cute girl like you" Naruto told the blond fallen angle as she was sent spinning into the empty street below.
'Damn it! I went and called her cute. I never do that to someone that's trying to kill me!' Naruto mentally berated himself as he stopped on the next roof to take a quick breather and mentally yell at himself for using his wounded leg to kick someone.
"Naruto, are you really okay? You should let me heal you" Asia told him after the blond started shaking.
"I'm fine! Just let me get you some where safe before any more fallen angles come after us!" the blond blurted out before continuing on, leaving the fallen angle holding her side and mumbling to herself in the street below.
