'His body is really sturdy...' Koneko thought as she wrapped bandages around Naruto's chest to not only cover the wound so that it could cleanly heal, but also so that just incase the wound opened up, he wouldn't bleed everywhere. Her hands went across his body, and she could appreciate how hard and warm it was. Of course, he had taken a beaten, but amazingly enough most of the bruises and minor scrapes had already healed. Now the only things that needed to heal were the broken bones, and the larger wounds that had only healed on the outside, not the inside.
A human with a natural healing factor many times greater than even a devil's healing ability, to heal from such wounds in little more than a night with no assistance was amazing.
What was more amazing was the fact his towel had stayed on the entire fight.
He was a mystery.
He willingly allowed the Rook-Stray to beat him to the ground, just so that he would bleed enough to cover her body with his blood and see her. He had allowed himself to be beaten to the verge of death for this purpose, and even when he had taken wounds that would kill even supernatural beings, he continued fighting strong. He never lost faith in his plan, and he was able to stick to the plan, and take advantage of many factors in the heat of battle, while keeping his cool... well as cool as he could be.
Not even Rias could formulate a plan in the middle of battle, she always made her plans before the battle even started, and while she could adjust the plan in the middle of battle... she nearly never made battle plans on the fly.
Naruto had an amazing cleverness for battle.
"Uuuuuuh, my head feels like I got an ass kicking." Naruto complained as he opened his eyes slowly, one being covered by bandages.
"Your ribs are broken, and your arm is too. You also have damaged organs... you should be dead." Koneko told Naruto with a dull tone.
She was amazed by that one herself.
"Heh, as if something like that could kill me. It will take more than that to take down the future Hokage of Konohagakure." Naruto spoke with nothing but the raw confidence in his own survival ability. Koneko snorted in amusement, and Naruto grinned at her taking amusement. Her cheeks turned red when she realized, in embarassment, that she had shown genuine emotion in front of what still amounted to a stranger.
Yes, a stranger who had saved her life, and fought side by side in glorious combat with her, but a stranger all the same.
Something about Naruto just gave a warm, comforting aura that allowed you to be yourself around him. It made you place your faith in him, and it made her drop her guard, and show him emotions she rarely showed people.
It was actually a little frightening.
"Thanks for bandaging me Koneko-chan, guess I won't be moving too much for a few more days." Naruto said as he looked at his busted up body. It would take a couple of days to fully recover from what had happened to him. Naturally at least, if he used unnatural abilities of his he could recover faster, but he would rather not attract to much attention.
The last time he let loose his chakra, he attracted to him a horde of enemies, and a huge asshole to him.
Best not attract people to his new friend's place.
"What are you?" Koneko asked Naruto.
She was a blunt person, deal with it.
"Eh?" Naruto asked, because that was a pretty weird question for her to ask. He wasn't really sure what she meant by "what are you" seeing as it should be obvious what he was.
He was Naruto Uzumaki, ninja of Konohagakure, he had stated as much already.
"What race are you, you have inhuman abilities. Cloning, Transformation, energy balls... humans can't do that naturally." Koneko told Naruto, and he scratched his chin with his one free hand.
What he picked up from that was that this dimension didn't have humans who could use chakra. If they did, then things like what he could do would be much more common. That would mean that humans didn't have chakra here... and that they were weaker than the people from his home dimension. Good to know, that would make it easier for him to blend in... if he wanted to blend in. He didn't really care about blending in or stupid stuff like that.
"Oh, you mean the Rasengan! Confused me for a second when you said energy ball... and yeah, I'm human. Where I'm from, the stuff I showed is pretty common." Naruto mentioned to her. There was no reall reason for him to keep it hidden. It wasn't like he was on a mission or anything. His friends would find the dimension he was in, and summon him some way. He had absolute faith in them to save him.
Naruto sat up with a groan and bit his thumb, before he brought his free hand and his wrapped up hand together and formed seals.
He swiped his thumb on his palm.
*Poof*
Nothing appeared, and Naruto sighed when he realized that his Summoning Jutsu had something blocking it. He knew of a few Fuijutsu able to break a summoning contract, or prevent things from being summoned. That, or he was just SO far away from his home dimension, that it would take a LOT more chakra for him to summon even the smallest of toads. Koneko could only raise an eyebrow, but didn't say anything about it.
"How are you feeling..." Koneko asked moments later, seeing as she still didn't quite believe that he was human, at least on the inside.
Maybe he believed he was human, but she didn't believe it.
"I feel a little pissed that bastard ran away. What a dick. Killing people, even enemies, who can't fight back is just wrong." Naruto said with a unpleasant frown at the memory.
Killing in self-defense, or when you were protecting something or somebody precious was one thing, but killing somebody who could not defend themselves was wrong.
"I was going to kill them." Koneko told Naruto, and he looked at her in surprise.
What?
"Why? I mean, sure they were kind of bad, but if you don't give people second chances, you will never know if they can change." Naruto questioned her, and she shook her head at him. His views were noble, very noble, and she could see the value in giving people second chances. It took a pure heart full of courage to give somebody a second chance, and to forgive them for what they did. In that aspect, she could see how somebody like Naruto could find the act of killing Stray Devils to be deplorable.
She would have to educate him.
"They were Strays... Devils who abandoned their Master. They ate people, and grew insane with power. The only mercy you can give them is death." Koneko informed Naruto of the saf situation of Stray Devils, and Naruto frowned.
That was right, they did mention something about eating him.
"Eating people is wrong... but killing them won't change the fact they killed people. Uuuuh, nevermind... This conversation isn't going anywhere." Naruto complained as he layed back down on the bed. Koneko nodded her head slowly as well, seeing as she was sure nothing she would say could change his mind.
She placed a cup of tea on his lap, and nodded to him as he reached down for it to take from her, and he sipped at it.
He gagged.
"Something wrong?" Koneko asked, and Naruto looked at the tea like it was some kind of gross science experiment.
"I think your tea went bad." Naruto said to her, and she tilted her head slowly and looked at the cup in his hand.
"That is a herbal medicine to restore lifeforce a little... Your lifeforce is unnaturally huge." Koneko said, and she blushed a little.
Lifeforce was something that was rumored to transfer into other areas, like breeding ability.
"... Oh... kay?" Naruto questioned, and he was about to stand up, before he noticed that he was pretty much butt naked except for some boxers that came from who knows where. They were plain black ones. "Did you strip me?" Naruto asked her, not that he cared too much if she saw him naked, but her stripping him was a bit... perverted of her.
He would hate to have to give her a pervert nickname, she was such a cute girl, it would be a shame if he had to call her something like... Eroneko or something.
Ero-Koneko... Ero (Ko)Neko... Eroneko.
"I didn't look... I bought those boxers from for cheap, so don't worry. I slid them on under the towel... it was covered in blood." Koneko told him, not looking him directly in the eye when she spoke. She didn't peek, she really didn't, but she had a very sensative sense of smell... and she had been able to smell that he was a very... fertile male.
Koneko wanted to slap her cheek, but it would look weird if she did something.
She blamed Naruto.
It all started when she saw his mostly naked, dripping wet, body coming out of the crater. The way she saw his muscles glistening with water as he fought that first Rook. After that, it was harder for her not to see Naruto in a slightly sensual light. He was an attractive man, he was brave, bold, and a carnivore.
"Yo, you're red." Naruto pointed out as he got closer to Koneko. She had yet to notice him, too absorbed in her own thoughts.
'Uuuuh, most men are total herbivores in Japan.' Koneko thought in annoyance.
It was rare to meet a man like Naruto in Japan, it really was. Strong, reliable, and he had a body that had it going on. Not to mention with his blond hair, peach skin, and blue eyes, he looked like he came from an exotic country.
"Yo."
Koneko turned pink when she noticed Naruto was inches away from her, and she resisted the urge to hit him when she saw concern in his eyes. His eyes showed his emotions too well. They were so easy to read it was scary.
"Sorry..." Koneko apologized as she backed away, and Naruto stood up. Koneko stood up as well and pushed Naruto, not too gently, back down on the bed. "You need to rest in order to heal." Koneko told him forecefully, and Naruto grunted.
Her eyebrow twitched, he grunted at her!?
"Yeah, yeah. Damn, what is with everyone and making me lay in bed when I'm hurt?" Naruto complained as he laid back down, and Koneko sighed in annoyance.
Okay, so he wasn't perfect, he did complain about things that annoyed him more than a Japanese man would as well.
He was very verbal.
"Are you even Japanese?" Koneko asked, and Naruto looked at her with dull eyes.
"What the fuck is Japanese?" Naruto asked her with dull eyes. He had never heard that term before in his life. It sounded like some kind of nationality, but where he came from, those kinds of things didn't exist. Koneko just dropped her jaw, before she closed it and shook her head.
Okay, that little tidbit made sense.
It would explain why Naruto seemed to be more wild than japanese men, he wasn't a japanese man. He wasn't raised in the same culture, despite having a japanese name.
Koneko palmed her face, put a bag of open chips on Naruto's lap.
"Nevermind, here. Eat." Koneko stated quickly, and Naruto nodded as he snacked on a chip. She was taking care of him in the most basic way. She was forcing him to stay in bed, and giving him a snack. She also bandaged him up, not that he really needed it but it was still a nice thought. He appreciated what she was doing.
Naruto furrowed his brow.
"You know... Who are you? Something seems... off about you." Naruto mentioned to her, and she nodded her head.
That was right, she never introduced herself.
"I am Koneko Toujou, a reincarnated Devil in service to the House of Gremory. My Master is Rias Gremory, and I am her Rook." She gave the practiced introduction. It was the official way to introduce herself, giving her status as well as the house she worked under.
She sweatdropped moments later when Naruto scratched his head.
"... I didn't understand a word of that." Naruto laughed awkwardly as he pointed out something he didn't get. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, I dislike the time it takes for ramen to cook, and my hobbies are gardening and tasting different ramen flavors... Try something like that." Naruto stated to her, and she raised an eyebrow.
Was he obsessed with ramen?
"I am Koneko Toujou, I like rap music and candy. I dislike perverts. My hobby is boxing and eating." Koneko followed his example, and Naruto nodded his head.
"There! Now I know who you are much better. Nice to really meet you Koneko-chan. If you ever want, I would be happy to eat or box with you." Naruto offered. She seemed strong, and he liked sparring with strong opponents. She was kind of... slow, but he was sure that he could go slower just so that they would have a fair match. Guy, girl, animal, or whatever didn't matter when it came to sparring.
Naruto sparred with guys, girls, animals, and loads of other things in his training. The best way to get to know a person, was to spar with them.
When two skilled warriors crossed fists, they could read each other's hearts some people would say.
Koneko sucker punched Naruto in the ribs.
"Not until you are better." Koneko said to Naruto, while he was on his side cradling his hurting body. He sucked in his breath, his entire body having felt that pulse of pain. "Any favorite colors?" Koneko asked, and Naruto nodded when he recovered from her punch.
"I like orange... why?" Naruto asked her, and she didn't answer.
She just stood up, and started to walk out of the room.
"No reason... Stay..." Koneko told him as she closed the door behind herself, and there was a clicking noise. A noise that told Naruto just what she did when she left the room.
She locked the door.
'Mmmmm...?' Naruto thought with a raised eyebrow when he noticed the pair of panties laying on the ground. White with blue dots on them, not that it really matter that much to him. He had seen naked women before, something like panties (that were not being worn by the woman) meant very little to him. He just noted that Koneko seemed to be a little lazy cleaning her room, she had clean shirts on the floor, skirts, and panties around.
He guessed she lived alone, just like he did.
His eyes softened a little when he thought about Koneko living alone. She had bandaged him up, so the least he could do was do something for her as well. Shuffling from the bed and to his feet, Naruto grunted in pain when he stood up and looked at his bandaged legs. That was right, he did get a spear right through his leg during the fight. Naruto ignored it and went over to what he guessed was her dresser, and opened it up.
Panties, socks, and bras in the top drawer. Shirts in the second drawer. Skirts in the third one. Finally she had weird pieces of paper in the last drawer. Paper with a strange red symbol on it, which what looked like a stylish rose in the middle. It wasn't fuinjutsu like what he knew how to do, but something entirely new.
Naruto walked around the room, and whatever was clean he folded up and placed in the right drawers, and whatever was dirty he put into a pile. Naruto walked the length of the room, and he opened the closet door and found the dirty clothes hamper. Tossing the clothes from the pile, into the hamper, he finished with getting the clothes off the ground. He did notice she had some rather... interesting outfits hanging up in her closet though. A lot of the clothes in her drawer were simple uniforms.
"Oh, one of those papers fell out of the drawer..." Naruto noticed out loud as he walked over to the dresser and picked up one of the papers.
It was still super weird.
He looked around the room for anything else to do, refusing to stay in bed even if he needed to heal. He hated being bored, and helping Koneko clean as repayment for helping him was something he had to do. He couldn't just allow himself to be healed, and not offer some kind of repayment for that kindness.
If only there was some other way that he could help her out.
"Oh, looks like I missed one." Naruto said as he picked up a pair of panties off of the ground and started to head towards the dresser again, with both the panties and the paper in one hand. Naruto opened the dresser up and prepared to put the panties in them. "Man, I wish there was something else I could do to help her out." Naruto said to himself with a smile on his face.
A bright red glow emitted from the middle of the floor, causing the entire room to gain a similar glow to it.
Naruto blinked and turned his head, the paper slipping out of his hand and falling onto the floor as he did so.
"Eh?" Naruto asked when a pretty girl started to come out of the circle. She was taller than Koneko by a large amount. She had long black hair tied up in a long ponytail. Her purple eyes were the same color as the Fallen Angel dickhead that he had fought. She had pale skin, and a rather attractive body. She wore an orange bow, and had on a white kimono top with red hakama pants on. She must have been some kind of priestess of something, that or she was just dressed like it before coming here.
Her breasts were huge, as in, nearly on par with Tsunade or Hinata level huge. Naruto was surprised by them, but not that surprised.
Again, he had seen bigger.
"Hello, my name is Akeno Himejima, Queen of Rias Gremo... eh?" Akeno stopped her introduction to a new client when she took notice of several important things.
The panties in Naruto's hand, the mostly naked state of his body, the fact they were in Koneko's room, the bandages he was wrapped in.
"Eh?" Naruto questioned again, while Akeno smiled with her eyes closed. Rias would be able to pay for any damage to the window that was about to happen. A fireball started to form as she pointed her hand towards Naruto.
"It seems a pervert has made cute little Koneko-chan the target of his vile perversions. A sempai must protect her cute kohai." Akeno said, and Naruto looked at her. Then he looked at himself and everything that was wrong with this picture.
...
"EH!?" Naruto shouted in shock. Akeno fired the fireball and it smashed into his face. The explosion was a small one, but Naruto was still sent flying through the nearest window. The glass shattered, some pieces lodging in his back as he was sent flying out of the apartment building and into the night. Naruto's face bandages had burned off, and a new wound opened up above his right eye as he flipped and landed on the ground. "Hey lady! I'm not a pervert!" Naruto shouted as he landed perfectly balanced.
Akeno jumped out of the window, and she looked at the panties in his hand.
She smiled at Naruto and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Ufufu, am I suppose to believe that? Oh well, it seems that I will have to use some more magic to punish you with." Akeno stated to Naruto, and he yelped when crystals of ice shot towards him. Naruto ducked underneath them, and Akeno simply smiled at his reflexes. She would give it to him, he had those in spades.
She raised her hand up into the air, and a huge amount of water started to come down onto Naruto as a flood of liquid covered the ground.
Naruto jumped up and landed on top of the water.
"Hey! Listen to me before-" Naruto shouted, before Akeno called forth lightning and struck the water. Lightning coursed through Naruto's body as he was shocked, letting out surprised and pained yells.
When the lightning stopped, Naruto's spiky hair was even spikier, and he himself was a little toasted.
"Durable, aren't you?" Akeno said as she froze the water that was on the ground, and Naruto jumped away from the water completely. Akeno opened her eyes, showing a sick, sadistic pleasure in them that Naruto noted. Naruto's eyes twitched when he saw that perverse gleam in her eye.
She was having too much fun with this.
Naruto dodged a bolt of lighting that nearly struck his head, bending backwards with his hand touching the ground, his back a perfect arch. Naruto stood back up and looked towards the giggling Akeno as leathery black wings came from her body. His eyes were deadpan as he looked at the tree that had a burnt hole in it behind him. Naruto looked back towards Akeno, and she took to the air.
Okay, so he was going to have to stop her with force.
Great, just great.
Naruto grabbed a rock from the ground, and flung it towards Akeno. She dodged the rock in the air, before a second rock smashed into her wind, a rock in the shadow of the first rock. She lost her balance and fell a few dozen feet before regaining it. She looked to the ground and saw that Naruto was no longer there.
"Take a nap!"
A foot slammed into the top of her head, Naruto having jumped in the air higher than she was flying. His foot made a solid impact, sending her crashing into the ground, a small shockwave from both the impact, and her hitting the ground and making a crater, letting Akeno know this wasn't some normal pervert. This was a supernatural pervert, and her face was imbedded in the rock, even as Naruto landed on the ground.
"Is it normal for clothes to rip like that?" Naruto asked himself when he looked at Akeno, and saw that even though her breasts were pushed up against the ground, there was a rip in her outfit, revealing side-boob. He had kicked her in the face, not the boob, so why was the clothing around her breast getting ripped? Maybe she hit the ground hard enough to rip her clothing?
That, or this world's clothes were made of paper.
Naruto sighed in relief, before he was surprised when Akeno started to stand back up. Her knees were a little shaky, she had taken a hard hit to the head. She had some blood moving down her face, before dripping off her chin and onto the ground. When she stood up, she turned around towards Naruto. Her pupils seemed more focused than before, and she had red cheeks from something.
Sure, it hadn't of been his strongest kick thanks to his injuries, but her standing even after his weaker kick was a testiment to her durability.
"That was quite the firm kick you have... this is making me excited." Akeno said as she licked her lips, licking the blood that was on them away.
Naruto froze.
Blood licking perverts who liked not only causing pain, but feeling pain as well. A female pervert who licked blood, caused pain, with big breasts and pale skin.
"Nope!" Naruto turned around and started to run away. He was NOT dealing with this shit, never again was he going to deal with this dimension's version of Anko Mitarashi. Even on injured legs, he moved them fast.
Akeno paused in surprise at the sight of him running.
...
"Eh?" Akeno asked in shock, her jaw dropped at the sight of her prey running from her. Usually men were super excited when she did that, and it made them drop their guard even further than her body usually made them drop it. Nobody had ever flat out refused to fight her, turn the other direction, and run from her before. She always had opponents who would either cower in fear as she tortured them, or died rather quickly because they couldn't handle her.
This was... new?
'Nope, nope, nope!' Naruto thought as he shook his head.
Not today, not tonight he guessed. He wasn't dealing with this again, he was done with perverted women who had pain fetishes.
"Ufufufu, come back Pervert-kun. I'll make it feel as good for you as it does for me!" Akeno flew after Naruto, slowly catching up to Naruto as he started to jump across buildings, moving from building to building with surprising speed for an injured man.
"No!"
"Ah, but that makes me lonely." Akeno giggled as she shot more lightning down at Naruto. Naruto dodged all of the bolts, with chunks of street on the ground getting burnt marks on them.
"BE LONELY!"
Naruto couldn't help but play the part of the 'straight man' when she made those comments. He glared at her with comical rage at the situation, and commented to what she said. He still dodged her attacks as she rained the elements on him. She threw fireballs, lightning, balls of water, and shards of ice at him. He dodged them all before he landed on the ground and looked around for some kind of cover to take. Akeno landed on the ground a few meters away, and she had a large ball of lightning above her head the size of a basketball. She was giggling, and he could swear that her lips were glistening as she licked them a second time.
"This will only hurt... you, but it will feel great for me. Stealing panties from my cute Koneko-chan is unforgivable after all Pervet-kun." Akeno stated, and she shot the ball at Naruto. Akeno was shocked when his right arm was burnt off by the ball of lightning, seeing as he didn't really try and dodge the attack.
*Poof*
A burnt trashcan appeared where Naruto had been, and she looked around, surprised that he was able to hide his presense from her. She was an expert at sensing presenses, to the point she could hide her own.
Was he a ninja?
She never noticed when Naruto appeared behind her in a blur of speed, with his free hand holding out two fingers. He was crouched down low, and his eyebrow was twitching.
"Stop calling me-" Naruto started out, and Akeno started to look behind her, but not quickly enough when Naruto lunged forward. His arm shot out towards her body, and Akeno's face when totally blank for a moment when something... different happened. A tactic that she herself had never seen anyone use in battle before.
Naruto's finger were shoved right up her clothed butt, right between the cheeks and poking her in a very special place.
"Eh...?" Akeno asked, before a flood of strength and pain filled her ass when Naruto finished with the technique. She was sent flying across the street, smashing into a car hard enough to make an Akeno-sized indent in it. The car's lights went off as the alarm was triggered.
"-a pervert, 1000 Years of Death!" Naruto said as he stood up with a smirk on his face.
"Ufufufu."
He paled when she got off of the car and started to laugh, rubbing her butt. Now her top was even more ripped up. Now most of her left breast was revealed, to the point that the pink of her nipples could be seen.
"Such a wonderous technique, it really brings out the Masochism in me." Akeno muttered as her cheeks started to turn red. Naruto went more pale and placed his arm up in defense of himself.
What the fuck!?
'What the hell is wrong with this pervert?!' Naruto thought as his lips puckered, his eyes going blank. He had never met somebody who enjoyed that technique, because even now Akeno was visibly pained by the pain in her butt, but that pain was only turning her on even more. She was such an obvious Sadist/Masochist pervert-freak that Naruto would compare her perversion to that of his own teacher.
She freaked him the hell out.
"I'll have to add it to my own repertoire of techniques... though maybe covering my fingers in electricity will add more pain to it." Akeno spoke under her breath, and Naruto gulped when her heard her say it. His buttcheeks clenched at the thought of that one happening, then again, he added an exploding dagger to his own version of it before.
Electric fingers vs exploding knife? His seemed a little more dangerous, a lot more, than hers was.
Naruto surged forward while Akeno was still distracted, and slammed his elbow into her stomach. The back of her clothes exploded from the blow, and a large hole appeared in the front of her clothes as well. She was launched away and slammed into a brick wall, cracking it with a small amount of blood and spit coming from her mouth as she did so. She fell from the wall and landed on the ground.
Now her underboob was revealed as well.
"Okay... no running, having to knock her out the old fashion way." Naruto said as he prepared to fight Akeno.
Time to kick some ass.
"I'll have to take you completely seriously it seems... This is so much fun. I can't wait to hurt you... and be hurt by you." Akeno said as she got ready to use more magic. Naruto went towards her, getting into her guard.
He had noticed something.
Akeno stepped back in surprise, but Naruto punched her in the face, and smashed her face into the wall. The wall shattered and Akeno went crashing into a family having a family dinner. The entire dinner table was destroyed, and she went flying through another wall with Naruto following after her. He punched her a second time and punched her through the other side of the house.
She raised her arms to guard a third punch, having two red marks on her cheeks from the punches, which visibly hurt.
Naruto kicked her in the stomach, forcing her to use her magic, but breaking her concentration and send her across the street. He didn't give her any room though, and went after her.
"You have a good defense, and most likely hit hard... but you are weak against martial arts, aren't you?" Naruto asked her as he slammed his forehead into her head. She gasped as she was pushed back even more by him.
The entire fight, she had stuck to long range, and thrown elemental attacks at him, while keeping a sage distance.
She was durable, so he wondered by she didn't go in for close combat. The reason was now obvious to him. She was strong, fast, and durable... but just being strong and fast didn't make you good at close combat. She had little skill in hand to hand, though as she raised her hands up in a basic defensive stance he noted that while she was weak in that area, she did have the basics of it.
"Beating on a woman isn't nice Pervet-kun." Akeno told Naruto with a rather forced smile on her face, trying to break his concentration long enough to use her magic.
"I'm not a pervert!" Naruto shouted out in annoyance.
With a quick chance, she shot a point blank ice shard into his gut. Naruto grunted as he was impaled by ice, letting Akeno move away from him. She was panting, quickly exhausting her large reverse of magic. She was using to many magic attacks in quick succession, he had dodged a lot of her attacks. Naruto yanked the ice out of his stomach, and held it up as if it were a kunai. When she shot more attacks at him, lightning, Naruto looked at the ice.
Naruto sliced the lightning bolts in half.
"Eh!?" Akeno gasped in surprise again.
What!?
'Thank you Asuma-sensei for teaching me the basics of wind chakra flow.' Naruto thought to himself, the ice shard now sharpened with wind chakra. When he was learning how to use wind chakra, he had gone to one of the few other wind users in the village. Asuma showed, and taught him, how to flow his wind chakra across an item. Naruto had never thought the skill would come in handy as it was doing now though.
Seeing as he mostly beat people with his fists, or Rasengan, even though he was good with blades, he never had a chance to use the skill.
Akeno raised both her hands up, and Naruto saw her forming a large ball of lightning, and as she did so she gained a visible amount of strain as she used more magic.
Naruto rushed her and pushed his knee right into the center of her chest, knocking the wind right out of her as she lost control of the magic. The sphere above her started to go unstable.
*BOOM*
The sphere exploded, and seeing as most of Akeno's magic had been inside of that, a large explosion covered nearly the entire street. A large crater appeared, and Akeno was surprised at how... unhurt she was from that attack. She could feel a pressure covering her body, a hard warm source of pressure pressed up against her actually. That being said, she still couldn't breath seeing as the wind had been knocked out of her. She coughed as she tried to fill her lungs with air again. She continued to cough, until she regained her breath. Her eyes fluttered open, and she found herself in a strange situation.
The man she attacked was protecting her.
He had shielded her with his body, having taken the brunt of the explosion to his back. His back was one huge burn wound, with blood dripping from it. He was gritting his teeth in pain, but he was still surprisingly conscious.
"Damn... that hurt... a lot." Naruto grunted as he rolled off of Akeno, allowing her to sit up. She was no longer in the mood to battle Naruto.
"You... protected me?" Akeno asked, more than a littl surprised somebody who she impaled with ice, struck with fire, water, and lightning, and insulted protected her with his own body. He was already injured before fighting her, and protecting her had placed his own life in peril. She didn't know anyone could be so selfless... or stupid.
Naruto could only grunt.
"You are a sick, twisted pervert..." Akeno took offense to that as Naruto said it, but he continued to talk further. "... but I don't hate you. You creep me out, a lot... you are a creepy girl. You attacks me because you thought I was stealing from Koneko-chan... so I don't think you are a bad person." Naruto finished off with a pained smile. He hadn't been beating on her because he wanted to, he was simply doing it to defend himself from her. Knocking her out seemed the quickest way to calming her down and explaining the situation.
"Koneko-chan?" Akeno asked.
That stood out to her, so he knew Koneko.
"Yeah... She bandaged me up after I fought this... peerage of Stray Devil people things... and this asshole Fallen Angel person thing. Her room was a little dirty, so I was cleaning it to show my gratitude..." Naruto said as he used words Koneko had said before. Now Akeno was interested in him even more. He fought, and from what he said, defeated an entire peerage's worth of Stray Devils.
She wasn't too surprisied, seeing as he had been able to match her, even in his weakened state, but taking on an entire stray peerage by yourself was a note-worthy feat.
Naruto's cheeks were a little red as he looked away from Akeno.
Her breasts, both of them, were naked now. Not to mention her clothes were completely in tatters. She had yet to really pay it much mind, other than using an arm to move across her breasts, covering pretty much just her nipples. She wasn't even trying to cover the womanhood showing between her legs.
"Then I'm sorry for attacking you..." Akeno said, and Naruto nodded his head, not looking directly at her.
"No problem... Are you're clothes made of paper? They seem to rip... a little too easily." Naruto mentioned to her, and she looked down, for the first time noticing she was naked.
Oh, she had wondered why she could feel the air on her nethers.
"Ah, ooooh, it is okay to look... I must admit seeing your strength stirred something-" Akeno began to tease Naruto as she put her hand between her legs, hiding her vagina as she put her hand palm first on the ground, and she used her other hand to pull his arm into her breasts. Naruto's eyes widened, but not because of Akeno. He wrapped his arm around her, pressing her breasts against his chest. Akeno was surprised by the forward action, and turned a little pink at how... wild this man was being with her.
Naruto pushed her to the ground several feet away and got on top of her, grunting as he did so, much to her surprise.
"Damn... you aren't hurt are you?" Naruto asked her, and she smiled slyly at him.
"Ara ara ara, pushing me to the ground before I even know... your... name?" Akeno stopped when she felt something warm dripping onto her exposed stomach. She also noticed a yellow light coming from that area as well.
A spear of light?
"I knew if I followed you, I would be able to find you at your weakest." A familiar voice, to Naruto, spoke from the air.
"Bastard." Naruto grunted in anger when he turned and got off of Akeno, and saw the fallen angel bastard who killed those people. Naruto had sensed the attack coming when it did, and he knew that the man had aimed at Akeno. Akeno, who looked and saw a large spear of light going through Naruto's back, and coming out of his stomach, was just surprised.
Then that surprised turned into a form of anger when she looked at saw the fallen angel that was ignoring her and staring at Naruto.
"After you ripped my wing off... I decided to tail you. I figured if I attacked some innocent human with you around, you would take the blow for them. This is just perfect though, the Priestess of Thunder... I get to kill a devil and you... not only that, but she weakened you even more just for me... and she is out of magic." The fallen angel said, and Naruto grunted as he ripped the spear out of him. He tossed it to the side and it faded away after touching the ground.
Naruto glared at him.
"You got a problem with me... fine, but leave her out of it. I'll fight you all you want, I have a bone to pick with you anyway." Naruto growled in anger as he forced himself to stand up. The man wasn't wrong though, Naruto's body was weakened even further by his fight with Akeno. The Strays had done their damage, Akeno had done damage, and he had taken a lot of damage from protecting her twice.
Naruto glanced back at Akeno.
She was glaring at the fallen angel.
"What is your name? This is Gremory territory, you can't start a confrontation here." Akeno warned the man, and he laughed.
"I don't care if this is Gremory land. I see a devil, I kill a devil... stray or not. My name is Lucas... I originally came here to check out the source of the massive energy... but seeing the chance to kill you devils... and this bastard is something I can't turn down." Lucas spoke with confidence. Sure, Naruto had scared him before into running away, but now Naruto was extremely weakened, beating him would be child's play now. How could he not take this chance to kill him, and the Priestess of Thunder, while he had the chance?
Akeno stood up, now covering her breasts for real as she prepared to fight.
'3 wings?' Akeno noticed the uneven number of wings, which didn't make sense to her. It looked like 1 of them had been ripped off or something.
Akeno smirked when she understood.
"Akeno... can you make anymore fireballs?" Naruto asked her lowly, and she nodded her head slightly. They would be weak, but she could make fireballs. She had enough magic in her to do at least that much. Against a fallen angel of this level, the level of fireballs she could make would be unable to really do anything though. It would be better for her to focus on lightning, and do something of that nature instead.
So far he had surprised her, so she would see where this went.
Naruto prepared his chakra, and he stood in front of Akeno, using his body to shield what she was doing from Lucas.
"I planned on going through you first anyway. Thanks for stepping up... I'm going to kill you slowly for ripping my wing off." Lucas stated to Naruto coldly as he formed a spear of light larger than the one he had made earlier. Naruto felt heat against his back, allowing him to know that Akeno had made the fireball.
Lucas threw the spear of light, and Naruto caught it in his hand before it could hit him.
Using his wind chakra, Naruto created an invisible aura of wind around the spear. It was still a weapon, and a weapon was a weapon that he could use wind chakra to increase it's piercing and cutting power.
"Throw it Akeno!" Naruto ducked a little so that Akeno could get a clear shot at Lucas. Lucas raised an eyebrow when he saw the pathetically small fireball that Akeno shot towards him. He used one of his wings and moved it in front of him as a shield. The fireball got closer to him, and Akeno looked towards Naruto.
Naruto raised the spear of light above his head, before pulling back his arm.
He threw it towards the fireball, and at Lucas.
'That is going to destroy my attack before it ever hits Lucas...' Akeno thought as she stared at Naruto.
"Whenever wind chakra touches flames..." Naruto trailed off as the spear got closer to the fireball, which was now feet away from Lucas. The spear was fast approaching the fireball, and it would hit the fireball long before the fireball hit the man.
The spear sank through the fireball.
"Wha-!?" Lucas started, before a reaction happened in a split second. He didn't have enough time to prepare any dodge.
The light spear, coated in wind, reacted with the fireball. The flames spread and coated the entire spear. They burned white hot now, and the size of the light spear's flame aura grew so that it was 5 times larger than before.
"Huh!?" Akeno shouted in shock when the spear stabbed through the wind, and like a hot knife through butter, sliced through it. The entire wing burst into flames and the man started to fall to the ground. His flaming wing fell to the ground after him, and he gasped in pain at losing another of his wings, this time the wound burned closed. The spear continued to fly towards the sky, before it faded away into the clouds.
She looked at Naruto, who was grinning at his plan.
"... Whatever wind chakra touches flames, it causes those flames to burn hotter than ever. It increases their power... using your spear as a base, Akeno and I created a..." Naruto stopped bragging when he realized that he didn't have a name for the new attack. He looked towards Akeno with a deadpan look, trying to see if she had a name.
He didn't know what the spear was made of, so he didn't want to name it something wrong.
"Flaming Holy Shot?" Akeno helpfully supplied the name for the attack. Seeing as Naruto wasn't a devil, he could touch Holy Light with no adverse effects. His wind had created a barrier between the demonic magical flames and the holy light.
The attack had been the perfect blend of 'Chakra', Holy Magic, and Demonic Magic!
"You... genius bastard." Lucas said when he appreciated the mind for battle that Naruto had. He had kept Akeno hidden long enough for her to create the fireball, and he waited until Lucas fired his spear before having her launch it. In his arrogance, he hadn't even considered the fireball dangerous and didn't bother dodging it. So Naruto waited until the fireball was too close for him to dodge, before he combined the attacks together.
He could admire the in-battle planning, and the fact that Naruto was capable of working together with somebody who he had just been fighting so well.
He potential could not be allowed to continue any further.
"Next up will be our... Demon Lightning: Rasengan!" Naruto shouted out towards the man, and Akeno got the hint.
She was to make lightning.
She placed her palms together, before she started to form crackling lightning between them. Naruto reached out with his hand, and he created spirals of chakra. He palmed her lightning and applied Shape Manipulation to the lightning for her. She was providing the element, and he was providing the chakra for it. The crackling lightning started to take shape into a spiralling ball of lightning, with many hundred spirals contained inside of it.
"As if I will let that hit me!" Lucas shouted as he took to the sky, and Akeno made her own leathery bat wings come out.
She grabbed ahold of Naruto with one hand, and he took control of the attack with his other. She lifted him up into the air and they chased down the fallen angel. Naruto nodded to Akeno, and she flew towards him faster. The man, used to 4 wings, was slower than before and wasn't able to stay very far ahead of them.
Akeno flung Naruto, and Lucas tried to dodge.
Naruto thrust the Demon Lightning: Rasengan towards the man.
The unstable sphere crackled, before it exploded against Naruto. Naruto was flung out of the sky, and down to the ground. He crashed through a house, and came out of the side of the same house.
"Eh?" Lucas and Akeno both looked confused.
'Shit, the sphere wasn't stable enough to hold it's form... I wasn't able to control the lightning.' Naruto thought as he looked at his burnt hand. He had applied the Shape Manipulation of the Rasengan to Akeno's Lightning, and had formed a new Rasengan. Sadly, the Rasengan was unstable thanks to the fact that Naruto couldn't control Akeno's lightning nearly as easily as she herself could.
When Akeno threw Naruto, the control of her lightning transfered over to him, and he lost control of it.
To use the technique, he would need to stay close to Akeno and have her control the lightning, otherwise the technique would backfire on him. Akeno landed on the ground, and pulled him back into the air when a light spear stabbed into the ground nearby him. She started to fly away to escape the situation, seeing as they had to the disadvantage. She spun and dodged a light spear in the air, and Naruto looked at his burnt hand.
"We should take a moment to let my magic recover. Right now, I can barely even cover my fingers with lightning." Akeno told Naruto, and he blinked for a moment when a thought came to his mind.
He grinned to himself.
"Hey Akeno... I have a plan... think you can trust me?" Naruto asked her, grinning up at her, even as she started to fly lower to the ground. They had lost sight of the fallen angel for now, but he would be on their tail soon enough. Now he had lost 2 wings to Naruto, he was going to be out for blood even more than before.
She nodded her head as they landed on the ground.
She would listen to his plan.
-With Lucas-
"They landed around here somewhere..." Lucas muttered to himself as he landed on the ground. Akeno flew faster than he did, so it had taken him a bit to catch up with them. Now that he had, he looked around and saw that they were standing at the corner of what was normally a busy street during the day. All that was around was a trashcan, a bus bench, some street signs, another trashcan, and some bushes.
He smirked when he saw the bushes rustling a little, and formed a spear of light. He flung the spear at the bushes without any warning.
"Nyaaaaaaaa!" A cat ran out of the bushes, startled and clearly afraid. He frowned to himself and looked at the trashcans.
"Come on out!" Lucas shouted as he threw a spear at the trashcan, the first one, to see if one of them was hiding inside of it. It went through it, but nothing. They weren't inside of the trashcan, and that was annoying. He formed two spears, and started to throw them in random directions in the hopes of hitting something.
When he hit nothing for awhile, he prepared to fly off and search in another area, get an eye from the sky.
"Nya."
"Oh, just the cat..." Lucas said in annoyance when he looked behind him and saw the same cat from earlier. He looked away from it, not noticing that the cat was grinning at him now. The cat's blue eyes glinted.
"Are you sure?"
*Poof*
The cat turned into Naruto and Akeno, both of them crouched together on the ground. Naruto's burnt hand formed the Tiger Seal with Akeno's hand. She had both of their finger's coated with her lightning. Lucas started to turn around in shock when he saw the cat had become his enemies.
"1000 Years of Death!" Naruto and Akeno chanted together as they shoved their lightning coated fingers right between his cheeks.
...
Like a tazer, the man started to twitch all over his body as he collapsed onto the ground. He was shouting out curses as they dug into him deeper. They pulled out, and the man's hands went to his ass.
"You... fucking... pieces of shit... poked my asshole!?" Lucas shouted in humiliation at them.
"Ufufufu, I hope you enjoyed it... more delicious pain will be on the way." Akeno told him as she grabbed his wrists, and placed her foot on his back.
*SNAP*
She wasn't good at hand to hand combat, but she still had the strength of a Rook. She yanked on Lucas arms until they both snapped. She snapped them at the elbows first, before she yanked even harder a second time and snapped them out of their sockets. Lucas let loose a soundless scream of agony. Akeno's delight at his pain only grew as she pushed his arms right back into their sockets... only to rip them right back out of them. She started to laugh under her breath as she caused him enough pain to paralyze him, but not enough to knock him out or send him into shock.
She let go of his arms, and he dropped to his face.
"... Ho...w did... you... hide?" Lucas asked, and Naruto looked towards Akeno.
"I used a Combination Transformation to turn both me and Akeno into a cat. I figured if I could transform a giant toad and myself into a fox, I could make Akeno and I a cat. Then when Akeno mentioned her fingers, I remembered when she wanted to add lightning to my 1000 years of Death... I knew the pain and elecricity would paralyze you, and Akeno is out of magic... but she has both arms still." Naruto was more than happy to give away his entire plan, seeing as given away the plan didn't change the fact that it had worked. Akeno was more than happy to allow it to happen as well, seeing as it gave Lucas time to recover so that she could torture him even more.
Not to mention it gave her time to build up her magic reserves again, and use magic once more.
"So... you beat me with petty tricks..." Lucas said, and Naruto looked at him deadpan.
"Hey, you were the one you waited until I was at my weakest to attack me. You deserved this much... Now apologize for the people you've killed... They could have had loved ones, comrades..." Naruto told the man, who looked at Naruto.
Then he gained a dangerous smile.
"They weren't the only ones with comrades!" Lucas called out, but he gasped in pain when a spear of light pierced his gut. "Wha... what?" Lucas gasped out in shock when he saw a pinkish pierce of light had pierced him instead of Naruto. Naruto and Akeno's eyes widened as well, while Lucas started to spew blood from his mouth.
"Looks like your comrades don't like you..." Akeno taunted the dying man, and Naruto sent her a sharp look for it.
"You interupted my planning... for a half-human and a exhausted devil?" A female voice spoke, and Naruto looked up at the sky.
She was about his height, annoyingly enough, with the same black hair and violet eyes that Akeno. She kept her hair down though, and she wore more normal clothes at the moment. She had a pink jacket with a v-neck blue shirt under it, and a darker red skirt on. She wore pretty skimpy panties, but overall she was extremelly attractive.
"Ray... nare? I had them on the ropes..." Lucas spoke, before she threw another spear at him.
Naruto grabbed it before it hit him.
Lucas and Akeno looked at Naruto, shocked at his actions, while Naruto stabbed the spear into the ground and glared at Raynare, just as men wearing strange clothing started to come into the area. 5 of them in all, all of them wearing black suits, and over the top of the suits they wore white jackets with cross pendants hanging from their necks.
A black haired guy with a ponytail and a sword made of light, a large muscular bald guy holding a large axe edged with light, a short black haired guy holding some kind of staff of light, a short man with blond hair, holding a light dagger.
"Oooooh, Devil-chan looks delicious all naked and shit." The man in the front said, a white haired man in the same uniform, with both a sword and a gun as his weapon. His red eyes had a strange glint to them, but the way he licked his was annoying to everyone present.
'This situation is as bad as it gets.' Akeno thought as she prepared to escape.
They couldn't win in this kind of situation.
"This man is trash, but anyone who betrays their comrades is worse than trash... To willingly try and kill a comrade... you are the lowest of the low." Naruto stated as he gave a Raynare a hard glare. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, before she laughed a little, shaking her shoulders.
"He was going to kill you, and you pity him? What a simple, naive, stupid human you are. Surrounded by enemies, about to die, and you worry about an enemy? You have to be either brave, or retarded." Raynare insulted Naruto, who had a vein pulsing on his forehead with how angry he was becoming. Naruto grit his teeth, while Akeno looked at Naruto, and then at Lucas... seeing as the dying man was minuted from death she didn't worry about him. Like she would worry anyway.
The white haired man in front grinned.
"This human... is extremely stupid... but don't underestimate him... he is more frightening than any human I have ever met." Lucas warned Raynare, and she rolled her eyes, before she looked at the white haired man.
"Freed... kill them and get this over with. Put those weapons to use." Raynare rolled her eyes at the warning a second time.
This would be over quickly.
"Gladly! I kill to stabby stab devils, and the people who side with them!" Freed called out, and he leveled his gun at Naruto and shot him.
Naruto didn't grunt, he just took the bullet without so much as flinching. He stared up at Raynare as he did so, and she took a look into his determined blue eyes. The unwavering confidence that he had, and she flinched back a little.
'You can't stare into those eyes without flinching either, huh?' Lucas thought as Naruto was shot a second and third time.
"What the fuck is this bastard made of!?"
"Rogue Priests... I didn't know Kuoh had so many enemies in it." Akeno said as she looked towards Naruto, a magnet for danger it would seem
Just his presense made situations go to a worst-case scenerio.
"I can respect killers... my first real enemy was a murderer. He killed over 100 people when he was a child, and killed hundreds more as an adult I would guess. He didn't know mercy, but I liked him... he still had a heart, and could find love... he had honor as well." Naruto said as he was shot until Freed's gun was empty. Naruto spoke of Zabuza, a man who had still died doing good, a man who might have killed, but he killed with honor. He was a paid killer, but at the same time, Naruto couldn't help but like the man.
He gave weaklings who didn't need to die a chance to escape, he didn't kill just to kill.
"Lets just cut him up." The muscular bald one said as he started to walk towards Naruto with his axe.
"Move!" Akeno shouted to Naruto as the man came closer to Naruto.
"Hey, Lucas... do you carry any weapons?" Naruto asked the dying man, who simply smirked and shook his head. He raised his hand weakly, and created the smallest spear of light of his life. I was barely even a foot long. He tossed it towards Naruto, who caught it with his hand, even though his hand was burnt from many seperate issues.
"Give 'em hell, you bastard." Lucas said to Naruto.
This alone surprised Akeno that Naruto's enemy was now helping them, then again, what reason did Lucas have to be loyal to anyone? He was dying, he would be dead any minute now, and his comrades were going to speed that up soon.
"I don't hate killers..." Naruto said as the axe got closer to his neck, the large man having swung it already.
*TING*
Naruto raised his hand and blocked it with the spear of light, and he looked up towards the man who swung the axe with look that made the large man back off. Akeno and Lucas weren't able to see the look in Naruto's face.
"Aaaaah!" The man screamed in fear as he took a step back from Naruto.
"... but people who would kill the weak... the defenseless... their comrades... I can't stand them." Naruto said as he showed the rage in his eyes. Naruto slammed his forehead into the man's nose, and broke it. The man was sent back off of his feet, and Naruto brought his hand up, blocking Freed's sword with the light dagger. Naruto kicked Freed in the stomach and sent him back, before he stabbed the ponytailed man in the knee, forcing him to the ground.
He raised his hand up and blocked the staff, before he stabbed the man in the hand, forcing the light dagger all the way through one hand, before forcefully moving it to stab the other hand.
He didn't even have time to scream before Naruto slammed his elbow into the back of the man's neck.
Naruto kicked the last man in the chin, sending him flying into a car window, before he turned his gaze towards Raynare.
The light dagger faded when Lucas died, just as Freed was standing back up.
"So the little shit can actually fight! That will just make killing him that much more fun!" Freed shouted out, and Naruto ducked underneath a sword strike. He raised his hand up, and caught a stab from Freed, the sword going through his hand and stabbing into his shoulder. Naruto gripped Freed's hand, and pulled him close.
"I'll beat you within an inch of your life." Naruto stated to the man, and he raised up his bandaged hand, also injured. He clenched it into a fist, before he smashed his fist into Freed's face. He gripped his hand tightly on Freed's so that he didn't go flying, before he punched him in the face a second time, and then a third, followed by a forth, the fifth, and finally a sixth time before he allowed the battered and bruised Freed to fall to the ground.
Naruto glared up at Raynare.
She flinched back the second they made eye contact this time, finding fear in the fact that a near-dead human could destroy her own human forces even in his current state.
"Don't make me laugh, you can barely stand. You might be stronger than a normal human, and too stubborn to die, but you don't have any sort of outstanding power other than that." Raynare reassured herself mostly, while Akeno looked towards Naruto.
It would seem Raynare missed Naruto's fight with herself, and the fight with Lucas, otherwise she wouldn't be talking.
Good, she was understimating Naruto.
When Akeno had done that, she had gotten her ass handed to her. Akeno was glad to see it on the other side this time. Anyway, she was almost done building up a little magic power herself, so she would be able to take on Raynare if worst came to worst. She could feel how weak Raynare was, which was good. Raynare was actually weaker than Lucas, the only reason she had been able to kill him was by surprise it would seem, and him already being weakened.
"I might barely be standing... but come down here and say something to my face." Naruto told her with his glare now more intense. Raynare felt another pulse of fear go through her body, and made a quick choice.
Raynare flapped her wings and started to fly away.
She did not like those eyes.
"She chickened out?" Akeno asked in surprise, while Naruto felt the strength leave his body and fell to his knee.
"I left you for 10 minutes... and this is what you do?" Koneko asked.
"Ah!" Akeno let out a surprised noise when she noticed Koneko for the first time, who was crouched down on the ground nearby, holding a small shopping bag in her hand. She raised her hand and greeted Akeno.
It would seem everyone had some explaining to do.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Lots Of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
"Bae" is slang for "Baby" which BOTH Men and Women call their Boyfriend or Girlfriend.
"Cat" is also slang for a "cool" man or woman.
Bae - Before Anyone Else.
The title hints at 4 possible things.
1. Naruto will be in a relationship with a "Cat" - Cool Person.
2. Naruto is a "Cat" - Cool Person, and will be in a relationship with somebody.
3. Naruto will be in a relationship with a Cat, in a literally sense seeing as catgirls are a thing.
4. Naruto will become extremely important to a "Cat" who will put him "Before Anyone Else".
Basically, just because the title is "Cat's Bae" doesn't mean it is a hint to the pairing.
The pairing won't be revealed, until I decide to reveal it.
