Well, I can say without a shred of doubt that this experiment was a total success! So, this second chapter is my way of showing gratitude to you all!

On a similar note, please vote on my poll! It will end soon!

I own nothing concerning these two series!

Disgaea: The Game of Life

Prologue Chapter: Getting Situated, dood!

Inside her now single-person ward, Tayuya laid on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Her thoughts were currently on her fellow redhead who had been kept from learning about his parents and left. She still shuddered at the memory of how cold he had been when he left.

Something told her that he should never have been like that. He was annoyingly nice to her, and she was once his enemy. A sigh escaped her lips as she tried to recall the last time anyone was genuinely kind to her. She didn't even need to think long, and it made the crippled redhead bitterly laugh.

Kin Tsuchi… That was the only person she could remember that treated her nicely. She was also the only person Tayuya could've considered calling a friend. She sent a mental prayer for the late girl. Kin had been used as a sacrifice for the invasion against the Leaf months back, and it hurt Tayuya when she found out.

She wanted to go after that damnable snake bastard when she saw Kin's body, but she knew doing so would be suicidal; something she was not. After that, she became bitter and her temper skyrocketed, resulting in her cursing even during a normal conversation.

And now, the only person who was nice to her sincerely was gone, most likely to vent about being lied to by those he had trusted so much. She frowned at that, honestly wondering if anyone would be there to try and comfort him as he vented. A part of her wished that she could be that person, if only to try and return the kindness he had shown her.

Another part, one that was much less vocal, also wanted to be there for the kid. However, this part of her wanted to be there so that some sort of bridge could be formed between her and Naruto. She had lost one friend, and the small part that spoke so little was able to see herself finding a friend in the Jinchuriki.

She was broken from her thoughts when her door opened. The person walking in made her frown slightly, but she said nothing as Shizune did her routine checkup on her legs. It was an awkward silence, at least to the medic kunoichi, and Tayuya was perfectly fine with keeping it that way. Shizune however…

"Do you think he's okay?" she asked her patient, referring to the Genin that had been on her mind.

"How the fuck should I know?" she asked, though her tone was surprisingly soft.

Still, Shizune was actually hoping Tayuya would've yelled at her. The tone used made her feel even guiltier. "You're right… I'm sorry."

Tayuya sighed in annoyance at the now despondent woman. "Shouldn't you know him better than me? From what I saw, the kid was one of those types that takes shit and just fucking lets it roll off him."

"But this is different," argued Shizune softly.

"No shit," deadpanned the redhead. "He just realized that the people he trusted lied to him. And considering the fact that he's a vessel – and yes, I know what he holds," she said, cutting off the woman from making a comment, "he probably doesn't have a lot of those. Hell, I bet that all those people he trusted could be counted on one hand…and that all of them had lied to him."

Shizune cringed at that, sadly seeing fact in Tayuya's comment. She mentally went over the list of potential people and counted only four, possibly five, including herself.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi…

Jiraiya the Toad Sage…

Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, and herself…

And, possibly, Kakashi Hatake, the boy's sensei…

All of them knew the boy's lineage…and all of them kept quiet about it.

"You see now, right?" asked Tayuya, making Shizune turn to her and see the accusatory look. "You all fucked up, and he's the one paying for it."

Naruto bit into a fruit he had plucked from a tree on his way to the Forest of Death's tower. He had forgotten how long of a walk it was and he would've traveled with the aid of chakra had Khaliah not warned him about his body still recovering. A small belch escaped his lips as he discarded the eaten fruit onto the forest floor.

'Hey Khaliah?'

"What is it?"

'You told me about my grandparents and the other worlds, but I'm curious… I thought you were just a construct of chakra. Are you a demoness?'

"Whoever came up with that 'chakra construct' nonsense was an idiot. We Bijuu are all demons who came here to instill fear and do our natural job. That whole Sage of the Six Paths story? A myth; nothing more."

'Really? I heard that the Sage was the founder of chakra…'

"Nope. Chakra was actually formed by demonic and angelic residue in the air. It's why it has a Yin and a Yang."

'And the different affinities? What about bloodlines?'

"The affinities are actually representations of your souls. Each person is unique, even twins. As for bloodlines, those came into existence when humans killed some of us demons and absorbed their power with their chakra. The Wood Style came from Wood Golem demons while the Sharingan came from the Succubae."

'Succubae?' asked the hybrid in surprise.

"That eye is known for its hypnotic and illusionistic abilities; something the Succubae were infamous for using. I'd keep going, but there are too many bloodlines to explain about. Besides, we're here."

Returning his focus back to the outside world, Naruto saw that he was standing in front of a set of double doors that led inside the forest tower. "Oh, would you look at that…" he commented aloud. "I never even realized I made such good time."

Shrugging, he pushed open the doors and stepped inside, finding the entrance room to be empty and the same shinobi poem from his Chunin Exams on the wall. Humming thoughtfully, he walked in and began to make his way to where the Preliminary Matches were held. Along the way, he heard some scurrying and tensed, readying to act if need be.

"Relax, kid," Khaliah said to him. "No doubt those are Prinnies cleaning up the place."

He mentally frowned in confusion as he kept walking. When he finally reached the doors, he took a breath to calm his nerves. "Here we go…" he murmured before he opened the doors, instantly assaulted by something soft when he did so.

Tsunade sighed as she continued with the paperwork that was the bane of every Kage, no matter the nation. However, her mind was elsewhere and on a certain Genin that she had just hurt deeply. Seeing the betrayal in his eyes when she denied him the knowledge of his parents hurt, cutting into her deeper than any jutsu or technique in the world.

"Hey, hime!" greeted the exuberant voice of Jiraiya as he entered the office via window.

The blonde Senju went from somber to annoyed in the span of a second. "How many times have I said to use the damn door?!"

The Toad Sage just grinned at her. "I lost count weeks ago. So, care to tell me what's on your mind? The vibe in the air made me think I was walking in on a funeral."

The woman sighed and regained her somber expression. "It's Naruto…"

"What about him?" asked Jiraiya as he took a seat in front of her desk.

"He knows that we know about his parents…and that we're not telling him yet."

The man frowned at that. Naruto wasn't supposed to learn anything about his parents until he was at least a Chunin, or after the training trip that Jiraiya had planned to take him on. It was a plan that Hiruzen had made to keep Naruto safe from Minato and Kushina's enemies outside the village.

"I take it he didn't react well?"

"The hell do you think, pervert?" rhetorically snapped Tsunade. "He's lost all trust in us now, and I don't know where he went after he left the hospital."

"You just let him leave?! I was supposed to tell him about the training trip I planned for him while he was recovering!"

"Something came up that made me bring up his parents. I didn't have the heart to stop him after seeing that look of betrayal in his eyes. I just couldn't…"

The man sighed as he held his head in one of his hands. "This is gonna make taking him out of here complicated…"

"Don't you even care how much we've hurt him, Jiraiya?!" roared the Senju. "The only people he trusted, and he finds out they were keeping the truth from him for years! I wouldn't be surprised if he never learned to trust us again!"

"You're overthinking things," waved off the Sage. "He'll be fine once we just tell him who they are. Then I'll take him with me and make sure he's strong enough to handle both the Akatsuki and anyone else."

"I may be overthinking it, but you're not showing much concern about this!" fired back Tsunade. "You're waving this off as if it didn't even matter! He's our godson, for goodness sake!"

"And he's been through enough for me to know he'll be fine."

Tsunade frowned at that response. "That's a cruel way of thinking, Jiraiya…"

"The life we live every day is cruel. He knows that, so he shouldn't let something like this upset him so easily. He's too emotional."

"And you weren't? What about me when I left the Leaf, or you and sensei when Orochimaru left?"

He frowned at her. "Don't go there, Tsunade. You know I've resolved myself about that."

"Yea," scoffed the woman, "after moping about it for a couple of years. You say he should get over it, but you still haven't gotten over Orochimaru's betrayal. You're being hypocritical, and you know it."

The two frowned at one another, the barbs they threw sticking deep in them. "I'm gonna go find the kid," said the Toad Sage before he left in a swirl of leaves.

Tsunade glared at the spot he once sat at, grumbling out, "I hope he kicks you in the balls, you heartless jackass."

"Nya~! It's Naruto-sama!" purred out a feminine voice while Naruto's vision went dark and his face was smothered by something soft and furry. He tried to breath, but his "assaulter" just shivered and moaned at that. "Nya, Naruto-sama~… If you wanted to be alone with me, you could've asked."

He blushed brightly and was grateful when the woman was pulled off of him by another woman, this one dressed in a gown with frills on the shoulders and smooth blonde hair. "Stop being so indecent, Jinx," she admonished before turning to the downed hybrid, bowing politely. "Forgive her, Naruto-sama. She was never one to control her impulses."

Standing up, he looked around and saw the pouting cat-girl standing next to the blonde woman while around a couple dozen blue penguins with peg legs and small bat wings moved around and worked on setting up stands and tents. There were a couple other people, but he didn't focus on them for long.

"That's uh…" he coughed to recompose himself. "That's okay, uh…?" he let it hang since he didn't know her name.

"Grace, my lord," answered the blonde with another bow. "My name is Grace, and this one here is Jinx."

Jinx grinned and waved at him. "Hello, Naruto-sama!"

He waved back with a nervous chuckle. "Hey there… So, are you guys…?"

"Demons?" supplied Grace, making him nod. "Yes, we are. We've been tasked with running your base while some of us have been created to be your vassals."

"Created?"

"Nya~, it's all in your book, Naruto-sama," Jinx answered. "You did read it, right?"

"Well," he began while sheepishly rubbing the back of his head, "I only got to the Statistics page…"

Grace nodded in understanding. "Well, vassals are made with mana, which is earned from defeated enemies. All of the people you've beaten over the years gave you the Mana needed to make everyone in this room."

"Whoa… How many are in here?" he asked.

Grace tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Let's see… There are twenty Prinnies, myself, Jinx, Alexa, Marcus, Geoffrey, Tiffany, and Pleinair; though she came here on her own. Not counting her, that's twenty-six vassals."

"That many?!"

"You can also make more at the Dark Assembly, nya," added the nekomata. "Just talk to Pleinair when you want to."

"In the meantime though, I think it'd be best if you took a look around and got yourself acquainted with your base," suggested Grace. "Just so you know, I run the Medic Tent while Jinx here is in charge of taking you to the Item World."

He just blinked at what she said before he sighed and rubbed his temples. "Ugh… There's too much to try and figure out…"

"You don't need to rush, Naruto-sama. Just go at your own pace and know that we're here to support you."

He nodded and smiled in thanks before he walked around what used to be the Preliminary Arena. Checking out a couple of booths, he saw that one was an item shop slash armory, selling healing items, weapons, and armor at the cost of some Hell; or money. This booth, and the other two, was run by some Prinnies, and they always made sure to add "dood" at the end of their speeches.

The second booth was known as the Evility Booth. According to the Prinny running it, Evilities were basically unique abilities that each class and person had. For example, the Evility for Prinnies was that they exploded with the force of a couple of Bomb Tags when they were thrown.

He idly noted that the Prinny looked very nervous when he was speaking about blowing up, and Naruto reassured him that he wouldn't be doing that to any of them.

The last booth was the Skills Booth. This booth dealt with weapon skills, magic skills, and unique skills that everyone learned as they leveled up or trained. It was here that mana was spent to increase their power once a skill was learned. This booth excited Naruto the most since he wondered if he could bring up his Shadow Clones and Rasengan to higher levels.

Once he left the Skill Booth, he went up to a swirling vortex of light that was being maintained by another blonde woman in a bell dress, pigtails with curled ends, and a bow strapped to her back. Once she noticed him, she smiled and bowed respectfully.

"Hello, Naruto-sama. My name's Tiffany and I'm in charge of the Dimensional Gate. You would use this to go to different parts of the Netherworld, the human world, and even Celestia."

"That's pretty cool," he said sincerely with an excited look. "Is it ready yet?"

"Not quite, sorry. We're still setting up the base, actually, so we won't be able to do much for you until we're done. Sorry, Naruto-sama."

"Hey, don't worry about it," he said with a kind smile. "I'm in no rush. Besides, this place is already looking great! You guys are doing a great job."

She blushed at the praise, playing with one of her pigtails in embarrassment. "T-Thank you, Naruto-sama. We'll be sure to keep doing a great job for you."

He nodded and left with a wave before heading over to Grace's tent. He saw her looking over a few patients. One of them was a shirtless man with a red headband, padded pants, and a sword strapped to his back. The next was a white haired teen dressed in a blue cloak that had a skull shaped hood on it, glasses over his eyes, and a wooden staff next to him. The last made him blush brightly since she was a demoness with wavy brown hair and matching eyes, leathery wings, a spaded tail, a skimpy outfit, and a killer figure.

"That one there is a Succubus, kid. I'd say be careful, but she won't do anything since she's your vassal," explained Khaliah in an amused tone.

"I'll be with you in a moment, Naruto-sama," Grace said without looking up from her work on the teen. "Just have a seat on one of the beds please."

He nodded and took a bed next to the shirtless man, prompting him to turn and greet Naruto with a smirk. "Sup, boss? The name's Marcus and I'm a Warrior Class. The Skull over there is Geoffrey while the babe is Alexa."

Geoffrey turned his head and smiled politely while Alexa winked at him sultrily. "Hello, Naruto-sama~," she greeted in a husky tone, making his blush return.

"Like I told Jinx earlier, stop being so indecent, Alexa," admonished Grace as she finished patching up Geoffrey. "Besides, you're next. You said your wing was bothering you, after all."

Alexa pouted but let Grace get to work. "I'll talk to you another time, Naruto-sama," she said, dragging out his name in a sexy way.

He nodded with a nervous chuckle before he left briskly. "Phew... That was close…"

"…You're not batting for the other team, are you? Most guys wouldn't have left a room that a Succubus was in, or even stopped a Nekomata's cuddle attack."

'I do not play for the other team!' yelled back Naruto. 'I like girls like any other straight guy! I'm just not used to those flirty types, considering…'

Khaliah heard him pause and stay silent, so she changed the subject. "Go to the Dark Assembly next. I'll be able to reincarnate there."

He nodded mentally, thankful that she changed the subject for him. Walking over to the girl they called Pleinair, he took in her features. She had bright blue hair cut short, a red bow with matching red eyes, wore a short white dress with red on the hem and the collar, two white sleeves with red trims, and a red scarf styled like a tie. In her arms was a stitched white rabbit doll with red button eyes and bandages on the stitches forming its mouth.

"Hello," he greeted politely and she regarded him silently. "Uh, my name's Naruto Uzumaki. I heard your name's Pleinair?" Again, he was met with silence.

"One of those extreme silent types. Just ask to go to the Assembly."

"Uh, can I go to the Assembly, please?" he asked with an awkward chuckle.

She finally reacted and nodded before she opened her own portal, stepping aside for him to go through it. Once he did, he found himself in what looked like a courtroom with a dragon – seriously, a large and green scaled dragon! – in the judge's chair.

"Approach the bench," ordered the dragon, and Naruto nervously shuffled forward. "Please state the Bill you wish to pass."

"Uh, I wish to reincarnate the Kyuubi that is sealed within me; Khaliah," he said to the dragon.

The "judge" raised a scaly brow at the request. "That can be done, though the process will be tricky considering the circumstances. Because of the difficulty, the cost for reincarnation will need to go up."

"What's the cost normally?"

"100 Mana, with an extra hundred per continued reincarnation. For this one though, it'll have to be 500 Mana," answered the dragon. He then looked through some papers that had Naruto's name on them before nodding. "You have enough for the process, and you'll be left with 35 Mana at the end."

Naruto was surprised that he had that much Mana he had available, but he didn't comment on it as he was led to another room with a demoness looking similar to Grace, but with different colored hair and dress. She gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Just relax. This will be done before you know it."

He nodded and smiled back as he laid down on the hospital bed. 'Hey Khaliah…?"

"What?" asked back the demoness.

'…Thanks for everything,' he said with a mental smile before he lost consciousness and the procedure began.

An annoyed groan came from Tayuya as a couple more hours passed by. "Fucking hell, how much longer am I gonna be stuck here?" she sighed out while Shizune changed her bandages.

"You suffered extreme trauma to your legs, Tayuya-san," answered the medic. "It's a miracle that they're still able to be fixed to a certain extent." She finished wrapping the redhead's legs and sighed. "You should know that your chances of resuming a career as a kunoichi with your legs like this is low; almost zero."

"You think I don't fucking know that?" retorted Tayuya. "If I'm stuck with just walking, then I'll fucking walk. I don't need my legs to beat someone's ass."

Shizune looked at her patient, seeing the fire in her eyes that refused to be doused out. She smiled and said, "I wish I had your confidence. Maybe then I could've had the courage to tell Naruto the truth regardless of what Lady Tsunade said."

"It's not about being confident," countered the redhead. "It's just the right thing to do. You can't fucking keep an orphan from knowing about their damn parents. It's fucked up."

"I know… I should've told him; we should have told him. It's just that the Third Hokage asked us to wait."

Tayuya scoffed in annoyance. "Yea well, like the kid said, not everyone respects a dead man's wishes. Anyway, how much longer?"

Shizune sighed at the first comment, but didn't reply to it. "Just a few more treatments then you should be able to go to physical therapy."

"Thank the fucking Kami," sighed out the redhead as she relaxed in her bed, letting her medic do her job.

A gentle slapping against his cheek woke up the Angelic Vampire, making his blue eyes blink open into focus. "Urgh…" he groaned out as his blurred vision cleared.

"About time, brat," commented an amused voice. "I thought you'd be out for the rest of the night."

Once his vision was cleared fully, he saw who had spoken. She had amber eyes, russet red hair that was tied into nine tails, matching fox ears, and a single tail swaying behind her. Her skin tone was an exotic dusky color and she wore a black yukata shirt with crimson shorts and black bandages on her ankles and wrists. Around her neck was a black choker with a ruby broach on it.

"Khaliah…?" he asked in surprise, making her smirk at him. "Wow… You look so different from when I first saw you…"

"Reincarnation will do that to a giant vixen like me. Besides, this form is much easier to move and kick ass in," she said in a confident tone.

He chuckled at that. "I'll take your word for it. So…what are you gonna do now? You're free from me and can do whatever you want."

He tried to hide it, but she saw the sadness in his eyes. A small smirk came to her face. "Now kid, you wouldn't be hinting that you'll miss me, would you?"

He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I might be… Is that a problem?"

She shook her head in amusement. "You really would be lost without me, wouldn't you?" She then reached over and patted his head. "I guess I could stick around for a while. Just don't think I'll be your vassal or anything."

"I know," he replied with a smile. "You're more than that anyway." His smile grew as he finished, "We're friends, Khaliah."

Her eyes widened slightly at that, seeing absolute sincerity in his own cerulean orbs. She had never had a real friend before…and this boy in front of her wanted to be the first one she would ever had.

A smile, small as it was, formed on her face; a real one. "Yea…" she said warmly. "Friends…"

His smile grew into a grin as he stood up from his bed and walked out of the Dark Assembly with the reincarnated vixen. All the while, he checked out her stats.

Khaliah – Vixen

Lv. 0001

HP: 90

SP: 100

Attack: 75

Defense: 60

Intelligence: 70

Resistance: 65

Hit: 60

Speed: 75

It surprised him that she was Level 0001, but he chalked that up to her being reincarnated. (1)

"So, what next?" asked the hybrid to his friend.

She hummed thoughtfully before pointing to the Evility Booth. "I guess the next thing we should do is see what our Evilities are. I bet you're as curious as I am."

He grinned. "You bet! Let's check them out!"

The duo then made their way to the booth, though Naruto made sure to thank Pleinair for letting them in. She didn't respond, not that he expected her to, but he figured he should thank her. Though, he could've sworn that the rabbit doll in her arms smiled a bit wider.

Once at the booth, the Prinny working it saluted. "Welcome back, Naruto-sama dood! Would you like your Evilities now?"

"Yes, please," he answered politely. The Prinny nodded before he did a strange ballerina spin and the duo was covered in a momentary glow.

*ping*

Your Evilities have now been unlocked!

Khaliah: Vixen Pride – Damage from attacks are halved and raise Attack by 10% (Max 200%)

Naruto Uzumaki: Best of Both Worlds – All stats increase by 10% per defeated enemy

Naruto whistled in appreciation and told Khaliah about her own stats. She was pissed about being only Level 0001, but she liked her Evility. After they finished their business at the Evility Booth, they then went back to the Medic Tent, where Grace and the others were waiting for them.

"Hey guys," greeted Naruto. "This is Khaliah, and she'll be joining us for a while."

Marcus blushed brightly at the sight of her, grinned just as bright, and then gave his boss a thumbs up. "Nice one, boss! Another babe to add to the group!"

Geoffrey paled and took a step away while Khaliah smiled at the Warrior. "How sweet of you to say…" The next thing everyone knew was Marcus being flipped over and slammed on his back with Khaliah's foot on his chest and a fanged grin on her face. "But you're not my type."

Jinx had stars in her eyes at the display and she got in the Vixen's face. "You gotta show me how to do that, nya!"

"She'll have to show you another time," Naruto said, cutting off anyone else from talking. "There's still a lot of work we need to do to get this base situated. So, let's go give the Prinnies a hand."

Alexa raised a brow, crossing her arms over her chest, which made her breasts perk up a bit. "We're gonna help the Help?"

"Yes, we are. This is our base, so we should all take part in finishing it. Now c'mon, let's get to it!"

"Yes sir, Naruto-sama, nya!" saluted the nekomata, and that solidified Naruto's theory of her being the perky, excitable type. The others then agreed and the group led by the descendant of a Tyrant and an Angel got to work on finishing their base.

Hours passed by as they worked, and they all stepped back to admire the finished base. The booths were fully made and furbished, the portals to the Dimensional Gate and Item World were finished, and the place was clean and painted a dull orange color; something that made Naruto proud since it was still his favorite color.

"All finished, dood!" saluted the Prinny in charge of the other nineteen.

"It looks great!" he then turned to the others, giving them all a bright grin. "Thanks, everyone. This base is perfect!"

The others smiled at him while Khaliah just offered a smirk. "Well, now that this place is finished, I think you should head back."

"Huh? Why?" asked Naruto in surprise.

"That girl you had your teacher save? I think it'd be a good idea to make her your vassal. Now before you start to argue," she said, cutting him off, "you'd actually be doing her a huge favor since you could heal her legs and get rid of that snake's hickey at the same time. Sure, she would become a demoness, but I think that's a fair deal for helping her out."

Naruto frowned at that, not wanting to put Tayuya back in a position of servitude after her last "job" under Orochimaru. "I don't know…"

"If it makes you feel any better, you could offer it to her and let her decide," suggested the Vixen with an eye roll.

After hearing that, he nodded. "Yea, I can work with that." Turning back to his vassals, he said, "We'll be back soon. Until then, I guess you all can train."

Grace nodded. "We'll be waiting for you, Naruto-sama."

The hybrid nodded before adding, "Make sure everyone behaves, Grace. I'm putting you in charge."

Jinx and Alexa groaned at that while the Healer smirked. "You can count on me, Naruto-sama. I'll make sure everyone is well behaved."

"Thanks," replied the redhead before he left with Khaliah, both of them hiding their otherworldly features with his chakra and her power.

Grace then turn to the others, smirk still in place as she pulled out her bow. The others began to pale and sweat at her look as she said, "Now then, let's start training like Naruto-sama told us to."

The base erupted into panic a few seconds later.

1~ For those of you who don't know the way Disgaea works, whenever you reincarnate a unit, they start over at Level 0001 but retain all of their old skills. That's why Khaliah is at that level now

Here we are with the second Prologue Chapter! One more Prologue before I move on to the first "Episode"!

Now, for those of you who are wondering, yes Naruto will reincarnate certain people as either demons or angels. For example, Tayuya will become a demoness because of her Curse Mark…as will a certain Special Jonin. *winks*

As for other potential recruits for reincarnation, I'm honestly still working that out for myself. I will say that I'm considering Itachi and Gaara for reincarnation, but it's not for certain.

Now, here's something that will probably excite you! The poll will end soon, so keep an eye on it on my profile! Also, I might add Khaliah and Tayuya to the pairing. If enough people want them, then I'll add them!

Lastly, this is Naruto's Team:

Naruto – Angelic Vampire

Khaliah – Vixen

Grace – Healer

Marcus – Warrior

Geoffrey – Blue Skull

Jinx – Nekomata

Alexa – Succubus

Five To-Be-Named Prinnies

Until next time!
