Disclaimer: I don't own the Blue Exorcists or Naruto series.
A/N: Criticisms are fine. Don't like, don't read. I apologize in advance for any mistakes.
Happy? Finally made this into a full story, but the chapters are rather short. Don't take this story too seriously since I doubt it will become anything all that serious.
Unbeta-ed: (Looking for one good at tenses and vocabulary)
~Chapter 2: Moe Overload~
He had no idea what he was thinking about when he asked his minions, most specifically his female minions what they would like as a gift from a male.
A human soul, jewelry, blood, vessel and all other things along that line that a Demoness would most definitely like, but Naru probably would never like. Besides the jewelry, but he just can't see her as someone who would want such useless things.
And so he went around the humans to see what they like.
Jewelry, money, clothes... They weren't all that different from what his underlings mentioned and now he was utterly clueless on what to get. The things that were usually given as gifts didn't seem to suit Naru, and even if he asked what she liked, he highly doubted she would answer.
"Oh, Mister! You seem to be in deep thought! Perhaps I can help?" A women from what seems to be a flower shop called out from doorway.
He turned to her, and sighed. He might as well asked another women to see if there were anymore options. "What would be a suitable gift for a women?"
"Flowers of course! Flowers are always a choice for a lady and as a plus, they have different meanings!" she answered with much enthusiasm.
He rubbed his chin. Well, he could see Naru as someone who would like flowers, but the problem now was: What kind? His eyes strayed to a batch of tiny blue flowers that reminded him of her eyes. A light blue with a bit of white mixed in, reminding him of her ever-glazed eyes.
"What are these?" he picked up the tiny potted plant.
"Oh! Those are called Forget-Me-Not, they have many varieties of colors and their meaning... I don't need to say what it means right?" She gave him a wink as he paid for one and quickly left. He hasn't seen Naru for a couple of days now, and was impatient to see the blonde. He quickly disappeared when no one was watching, streaking toward the forest where Naru laid.

When he arrived, he was taken by the adorable sight he wasn't expecting. A faint blush appeared as he hovered around her, taking in everything he could with this once-in-a-century chance. It was just so cute he almost squealed, which was very out of character for him, but he could not help it.
Naru was asleep, her head leaning on the trunk of the tree as faint 'Fuu~ Fuu~' sounds left her lips, it sounded adorable and if he could, wanted to capture that sound in his mind forever; along with the picture that came with it. Deciding to let her sleep for today, he carefully placed the tiny potted flowers in her hands, but with a faint snap of a twig, her eyes slowly parted and he stared into them, his heart beating furiously.
Her eyes for once, lost its glazed look and instead, was replaced with a sharper, yet soft eyes that left him breathless and with the thought, 'She's looking at me, truly at me.' her gaze went down and he followed it to the flowers he was about to give her. He panicked slightly at being caught red-handed.
"Er... This... I..." his panic left when her lips curled just the slightest bit as she whispered,
"Forget-Me-Not? Hai, Arigatō." and her eyes closed themselves again, but he couldn't help but stare at those lips that gave a tiny, but sincere smile at him. At him. When the shock left him, he couldn't help the wide goofy smile that appeared on his face as he cheered silently like a child at the playground, and blushed like a school-girl who had her first crush.
He considered this event a huge success, and planned for more. He stopped himself though when he thought back to the last two foreign words.
'Hai? Arigatō? What do they mean?' with his next problem in the front of his mind, he disappeared from the forest. Mind intent on getting the meanings behind those words.

Hai, meant yes; while Arigatō, meant thank you. They were Japanese words he noted and when he mentally compared Naru with the usual Japanese human, he was pretty sure she was at least part Japanese if he dismissed her western coloration and replaced it with the usual black and brown, with the occasional red.
He absently chewed his dango as his mind kicked up a storm, all centered around Naru and he paused mid-bite, giving his dango a strangely intense look. The look soon turned into one of triumph as he hurriedly swallowed the last of his meal and bought another for take-out. He had a good feeling with this, and literally teleported himself to the edge of the forest, before running in with a happy grin to where he knew she will always be.

He presented his little gift, and was delighted when he noticed her nose twitching slightly in interest. He could literally imagine a pair of dog ears upon her head, twitching in earnest with a tail wagging swiftly behind her as she watched his treat longingly - he had to stop that train of thought; otherwise, his face might get stuck in a permanent, idiot (perverted) grin. He gave a few coughs to regain some composure (he almost gave himself a nosebleed with the former thought) and unwrapped his gift.
"I got some dango from Japan and thought you may want some since you're always stuck in this tree. Hm?" he started to feel a bit uncomfortable when she continued to sniff the air, not doing anything else until she stopped and opened her mouth, tiny fangs peeking out from her upper lip. His eyes widen.
Was this an invitation?
He eased one of the sticks out and gently held it to her mouth, a bit unsure if he read her intention correctly.
Naru tore off the top ball and chewed it, her face unconsciously turning into one of bliss as she chewed and continued to eat from the offered stick.
The demon could feel himself melt from the moe overload, a word he learned in Japan, and found that it was a word that fitted this situation perfectly.
'So Kawaiii~!' he cooed softly at her - almost like a pervert and a child - as she ate it all up, before giving a satisfied little puff (he refused to call it a burp since it was so soft and cute) and gave a slight nod of thanks to the Demon.
She definitely liked the sweets from Japan, and he himself had to agree with her taste, they were pretty tasty. He reminded himself to start trying and bringing more since it seemed like food got more reactions out of Naru than anything, and they had to be the cutest reactions he had ever seen.
They didn't inflict or encourage any feelings of lust from him, only small bursts of warmth and giddiness as he stayed around. Life was now so much interesting and he wouldn't give it up for anything anytime soon.

Naru didn't mind the changes that came around this time, in the form of a funny and awkward demon. At first, she thought it was just a passing curiosity, something that would ease and fade away if she ignored him long enough, but he was quite the persistent demon, patient too. She would've thought he would give up by now, and attacked her for ignoring him for so long, but he didn't.
He only continued to visit and visit until finally, she gave in and said something to him, if only to appease him and have him gone from her sight. He surprised her though, when he continued to visit her, sometimes trying to get something out of her, other times just to keep her company. She had gotten so used to his presence that when he didn't visit for about a week straight, she felt slightly lonely. But a part of her was a bit glad.
'Seems like he won't show up again.'
And she went to sleep, never expecting the demon to reappear with a pot of tiny flowers; Forget-Me-Not.
'So he went to find something for me?' she decided to humor him for now, until he was truly tired of her; but for now, she allowed a small smile to appear.
"Forget-Me-Not? Hai, Arigatō." and she meant it. Even if she never shall his face again, she'll remember him for this tiny gift of flowers. For the time he gave her that eased her own loneliness.
However, he only surprised her again, when he later came by, a small box of dango in his hands. They brought back old memories, a little sad, but also a little happy. Too weary to lift her arms, she only the sign that she wanted to be fed by the slight opening of her mouth. She could only smile when the old taste of something long-forgotten assaulted her taste buds once more.
'Mm~ Now I'm missing ramen...' but things have changed, and who knows if the delicious noodles were still around. She could only wait and see, for the future that she was destined for.

The King of Assiah, Satan, could easily be picked out from the many demons if they so choose to all appear in the same place, for he was the most fearsome one out of them all, and the most twisted one. He couldn't care less about his many minions, his sons or even their mothers. Demons were beings without love, only desires such as lust made them do anything. And his sons were like him in many ways; however, lately one of them was slipping away for some strange reason.
Demons were the personification of all things evil, and leads humanity astray with deception and temptation.
Being the strongest one, there were some pros and cons such as the fact that he cannot control a human body long enough to do too much since all he touched eventually broke from his powers. But he could leave his kingdom for a few moments if only to find some humor in why and where his son was going.
He was bored, and a bit stuck in his plans on attacking heaven and the human realm. He also wanted to find a substance that can perhaps stand his powers and play with it. Who said that being a King was fun? It was boring and demons hated boredom.
With those thoughts, he left to follow the trail that his son left behind. It better prove interesting results, otherwise somethings may ease to exist, but even so, things will still ease to exist so it doesn't matter.
One way or another, destruction shall prevail.
