Not bad.

"Shouldn't you be... training to defeat Satori?" Gasper asked Naruto, while Naruto just looked at himself in the mirror, trying on a new outfit. "You should wear a skirt." Gasper pointed out to Naruto, since he really wished Naruto would wear some cute clothes.

"I'll think on it."

"We only have 3 months until you fight Satori, shouldn't you focus more on that?" Gasper asked, since in the end it was down to Naruto to defeat the extinction level monster. Nobody else could conquer it's weakness easily, and from what Naruto had told him, the strength of the host could even enhance the strength of Satori itself.

What the host was super strong.

"Exactly, 3 whole months... and I am training right now." Naruto showed off as he took off his shirt and showed Gasper the shadow bondage that he was wearing under his clothes. Ropes made out of shadows that were binding him tightly enough that his flesh was being pushed in. He lowered his shirt back over his body.

"How... is that training?" Gasper didn't understand that at all.

"Look... carefully." Naruto showed the shadow bondage again, and Gasper lifted his shadow form up to get a closer look. He looked more closely, and he could see that each rope was actually several smaller ropes that were tightening and loosening around each other. Gasper looked even closer, and saw that each time a part of the rope moved, it severed part of the shadow ropes, and then tied it up. "... I'm multi-tasking while causing myself discomfort. It's something I can do at school." Naruto lowered his shirt again.

"Why bondage?"

"Why not, as long as I don't get it too tight, it won't hurt that much, and nobody has to know about it if it is under my clothes." Naruto shrank the shadow ropes so that they were no thicker than a pencil, and tightened them more so that they would not show at all. "Also, working on a new Ero Magic... Shadow Bondage." Naruto explained.

His control over shadows could improve, and if he practiced the technique on himself before using it on others, he could see the weak points and improve them. Naruto rolled up the right sleeve of his shirt.

Gasper watched as their arm moved at an unnatural angle as some of the shadows making up the rope disconnected from each other, connected to different shadows, and tightened up to force the arm to change position.

"Ropes that can sever themselves, repair themselves, and force the body to take poses against the enemies will, while being VERY uncomfortable, to downright painful." Naruto showed that off by making the shadows form knots along the ropes. He winced in pain when the knots dug into his skin, before he undid them. He rolled his sleeve back up,

"I'll say."

"Jesus Christ bless you... ow... worth it." Naruto spoke a blessing towards Akeno when she entered the room at SOME point without announcing herself at all. Akeno grabbed her head in pain when Naruto extended a blessing towards her.

"Ow... why do you do that... you know that devils can't praise God, ask for blessing from God, or speak any lines from the Bible." Akeno knew that Naruto was fully aware of what he did, and how it also hurt him for offering a blessing. Yet he STILL did it anyway, knowing that it would hurt both of them.

Naruto looked at Akeno.

"Ow." Naruto and Akeno said together.

It worked even if he THOUGHT it, which was even funnier as Naruto laughed under his breath.

"Buchou wanted me to-"

"Who?"

"Rias... Rias wanted me to ask you about what these are?" Akeno pulled out a small stack of papers with unknown markings and drawings on it. Akeno blinked and looked down at herself, before she looked at her shadow and saw a rope coming up from it and wrapping around her leg. She was rooted in place as Naruto took the papers from her and kept them neatly together. She just smiled at him.

Naruto gave her a digusted look when he saw that smile.

"Uuuuh..."

"Excuse me?" Akeno was genuinely confused at him when she read his expression and body language, curious about why he was looking at her like that. She was now VERY curious about what he knew about her that was causing him to stare at her this way. She paled very slightly and her smile fell when she got a clue. "... oh... so you know... and you hate me for my blood... that's fine, I hate my blood-" Akeno started, before stopping.

The disgusted look wasn't on his face anymore for some reason.

She smiled, and the disgusted look appeared again, before her smile dropped slightly, only for him to seem less digusted.

"Uuuuh... stop doing that, it makes me sick." Naruto couldn't stand that fakeness anymore. There was little more that he hated on a person than a fake smile, and Akeno had one of the fakest smiles that he had ever seen.

"Stop doing... smiling?"

"Fake smiling... it's a lot more obvious than you think it is. Your smile doesn't reach your eyes... if you aren't happy... don't smile. I can't stand people like you." Naruto told her.

Wasn't his job to spare her feelings.

"You hate me... because my smile is fake?" Akeno could list a LOT of reasons for somebody to hate her. She was a Sadist, she was a Masochist, she was Powerful, she was also Weak, she was a Hybrid of a Fallen Angel and Human turned into a Devil, she was slightly famous with a nickname of her own. She never expected somebody would hate her for such a... strange and pitiful reason. "I'm in a good mood-"

"No you aren't."

"Are you telling me what mood I'm in?" Akeno asked him with a rising tone to her voice.

"If you were in a good mood, then your smile would reach your eyes. It doesn't, and your smile seems fake to me... I can't stand people who lie to themselves. I also can't stand people who wait for others to fix their shit for them." Naruto rolled his papers up and smacked her on the forehead for it. "Look at Gasper... he never tries to be anything but what he is."

"I'm a shadow of my former self, and I love it. I've never been happier than to not have to worry about others." Gasper spoke up.

He was at the happiest he had ever been in his LIFE.

He felt safe not being in control, and he no longer had to worry about the stares of others or their opinions. He could put all responsibility onto Naruto, and just let Naruto make all their choices for them.

"... I'm a dirty, foul blooded-"

'Oh no, she's going to go into her backstory with me... fuck... this was why I wanted to avoid talking to her. Why did I have to open my big mouth.' Naruto sighed to himself as Akeno frowned with sheer hatred towards herself. She looked at her hands with disgust, and he sighed in annoyance and faced her.

Exactly what he wanted to avoid.

"... I'm a wicked woman, my blood is tainted by my Fallen Angel father's blood... I hate this body of mine. It's wrong, dirty, and evil."

"So what?"

"So... what?" Akeno was stunned by the complete lack of reaction to her big reveal that she was a part of their enemy species. She looked right into his eyes, and she saw that he genuinelly didn't seem to care about her species. "So what?" Akeno repeated again, asking him for more information.

Naruto sat down on the floor and started to go through his papers.

"So... what... it's that simple. I don't care what you are. The only reason I don't like you is your fake smile, and how you give off the aura of a person waiting for a big strong hero to rescue her. Everything that I don't like about you are COMPLETELTY in your power to control." Naruto didn't want to go into much more detail than that. He didn't want to fix her trauma, he wanted her to fix it herself so that she didn't develop some kind of hero attachment to him. "You can't control your blood, but you can control everything else wrong with you."

"Everything else?" Akeno took a step back.

"Well, for starters, Rias told me you're a pervert who enjoys tormenting people... fix that."

"You're a pervert who tied himself up in bondage." Akeno responded, taking genuine offense to that. She didn't want to be called a pervert by a pervert. "... I mean, I AM a pervert, but you are in no position to judge me for that."

Naruto poked her leg.

"Hey, Perverted Techniques can and HAVE saved entire worlds. It is ALWAYS a good idea to have a few of them in your arsenal. You're a pervert for your own amusement, I'm a pervert... wait... why am I arguing this." Naruto didn't see why he was getting defensive over it. He knew the value of his techniques, so it wasn't like he had to defend them to her. "Anyway, you hate being a Fallen Angel... well too fucking bad."

"To fucking bad!?" Akeno was getting PISSED.

"Yeah, too fucking bad... whatever issues you have with your blood, you CAN'T change them. If I were to guess, it was your daddy who was a Fallen Angel... and since you joined Rias... I would BET your mother died, and you hate your daddy because he wasn't there." Naruto saw Akeno physically take a step back.

She looked like he had just punched her.

She was speechless.

'How... how could he guess that... I can't even say he doesn't know me... he seems to... he seems to know me better than anyone else.' Akeno thought as she took another step back. She had no words to argue, and the anger drained from her body in sheer disbelief at how easily he seemed to be able to just explain her own past to her. She grabbed her arm and squeezed it, not looking at him in the eyes, but he wasn't looking at her either.

How could he guess that?

"How could he guess that?"

"Stop reading my mind." Akeno could respond to that.

"I'm not... you're just THAT obvious. No, I can't be that obvious... how is he still doing this... I feel naked, like he is revealing everything... he can, can he really see right through me... spot on." Naruto stated with a slowly growing grin.

You didn't marry a Hyuga and NOT pick up a thing or two out reading a person's eye language. He could never get anything over his wife, and neither could his children. He was also a father, so he just knew some of the tells that teens had when they were thinking. He even had experience reading people just like Akeno.

Akeno was crying.

"... but how... how do I fix it... I hate him, I hate my father so much. He abandoned me, and my mother... he abandoned us and she died."

"Why did he do that?" Naruto asked her.

"I don't know."

"There is your answer, you don't know anything. You're an ignorant little girl at heart, so just accept it, and accept yourself. If you hate the hand that you've been given, then fight to change it. You have friends who love you now, so be thankful and do everything you can to protect what you DO have. Your Mom is dead, your Dad is gone, you carry their blood in your veins... you can't change that... so don't even try." Naruto just flat out spoke.

"Just give up."

"No matter how hard you work, you will NEVER change those things, so work HARDER to protect, and cherish the things precious to you now. If you hate your Fallen Angel blood, then USE that blood to PROTECT... if you hate your Dad, big deal... use the powers he passed down to you anyway." Naruto told her as he summoned a shadow and made a pillar. He punched it with his fist, and Akeno winced when she heard a crack.

Naruto broke his hand.

"Why!?"

"A point... my hand will heal Akeno, wounds heal... but-" Naruto punched the pillar again, and Akeno winced when she heard a second cracking sound as more bones in his hand broke. "... if I keep abusing myself, it won't heal. Accept your weakness, accept who you are... and strive to do better." Naruto stated as the bones in his hand started to visibly heal under his skin. He rose his hand up, and shadow spikes came out of the ground and pierced the pillar of shadows, breaking it.

Akeno didn't get it.

"You didn't punch it and break it."

"Because, I'm not strong enough to break it with my fist... so I will use the gifts given to me instead. If you try and go through life thinking I don't need this power, I'll abandon it and do things my way... you will never find a spiritual balance, and you will only be hurting yourself. Accept your weakness and embrace your strength." Naruto watched as she looked at her hands again.

Akeno was silent.

"How?"

"Just do it."

"How?" Akeno repeated her question to him, a desperate look in her eyes. The tears were still falling down her face.

"Figure it out."

"HOW! You're telling me to just do something without telling me HOW to do it! I can't just FIGURE IT OUT. I've lived for years with this issue, it isn't so simple as do it!" Akeno snapped and her tears flew off her face when she shook her head, angry that he wouldn't answer her question the way that she wanted him to. She looked at him, she expected him to be angry with her for snapping at him.

He wasn't even looking at her.

He took his papers and walked right by her.

"No, it IS that simple. You need to sit down, and reflect on your issues, and what you can do about it, and then figure out WHAT you want to do, and how you are going to do it. I'm not going to just give you the answers... figure it out." Naruto didn't embrace her in her tears. "... my advice is to stop lying to yourself first." Naruto left the room with that.

Akeno screamed at the top of her lungs and cried when he left the room.

- 3 Days Later-

Naruto was writing in a journal, while studying a book on magic.

Akeno sat down next to him, and Rias watched her friend look over Naruto's shoulder.

"Here, let me help you relax." Akeno rubbed Naruto's shoulders, a much happier smile on her face. She had a slightly healthier glow to her skin, and Naruto seemed rather... annoyed at the moment. He stood up and walked across the room, and sat down in the chair only big enough for one person to sit on.

Akeno got up and followed him.

'... This is kind of hilarious...' Rias held back a giggle as she watched Akeno doting on Naruto. Akeno had approached her and told her what Naruto told her, and she cried... a lot, and vented everything. She vented out her sorrows, thanked her for everything she had done to give her a new life, and promised to help her and protect her.

Now she seemed attached to Naruto though, the person who forced her to come to terms with her issues.

'Me and my big mouth.' Naruto knew that this would happen if he spoke with Akeno.

He just KNEW IT.

He knew that his big mouth wouldn't be able to keep shut around Akeno, and he would end up calling her out on her bullshit. He just knew that she was the kind of girl that would fall in love with the first person who made her feel better about herself, yet instead of thinking about that and keeping his mouth shut, he had to be a motormouth.

"Here, let me help you." Akeno sat down in his lap.

"Woman... do you even know how much bigger you are than me, I can't read with you in my lap like this." Naruto told Akeno, since her body simply had more mass than his did. Not to mention her ass covered a good portion of his lap. He pushed her off of him and back to her feet, but she just seemed perfectly fine with that as well. She stood moved behind the chair, and leaned over it so that her boobs were on his head.

He couldn't see the book.

"You see-" Akeno stopped when Naruto stood up out of the chair and walked over to the couch, before he layed down on it and left her no room to sit down.

"Pffft." Rias was ENJOYING this show.

"Me and my big mouth." Naruto whispered to himself when Akeno just sat on the arm of the chair, and placed her hand on his forehead, rubbing it gently.

Why did he inherit his mother's big mouth?

Why couldn't he inherit his father's mouth?

"I see what you meant now... but you did bring this on yourself." Rias stated to Naruto, watching him just have to deal with Akeno's affection as her new favorite hobby. Naruto told her that this was a reason why he didn't want to talk to Akeno, and now she was realizing that he had been spot on. "Speaking of bringing stuff on yourself... I never got an explanation for what those strange drawings were."

"The answer depends... how do you like your kneecaps?"

"I enjoy them very much, this was a nice conversation." Rias accepted that answer with a smile. She dropped her question at that, since his statement showed that he had no intention of explaining what the drawings were. "... do they have anything to do with Satori, even if you don't want to tell me WHAT they do?" Rias asked Naruto.

"Nope, they have nothing at all to do with Satori."

"I see... thank you very much." Rias accepted that, and then she started to work on her homework. She nodded to Yuuto when he entered the room, followed by Koneko, who seemed a little confused when Naruto got up and walked across the room, only for Akeno to follow behind him. "... she's in looooove." Rias explained to their confusion.

"What?"

"I opened my BIG FAT MOUTH."

"Well, if you want to keep your mouth shut, I do have a ball gag."

"I'm going to just... not be here for a little bit." Naruto sank into the shadows, and moved out of the room as his shadow just vanished completely. Akeno walked towards the window, opened it up with a smile.

"I'm going to go help him out."

"Have fun." Rias waved Akeno out as she jumped, and went on her way to track down where Naruto was going to emerge from the shadows. 'If he isn't working on anything for Satori... then is he NOT the Jinchuriki, and really just knows who he is... or IS he the Jinchuriki guy... did he know the Jinchuriki when he was alive... wait... isn't he from a different world?' Rias thought as she tilted her head in confusion.

"... That homework seems hard." Yuuto looked at her work.

Rias blinked.

"Oh... it isn't homework from school. I'm studying anatomy... Naruto showed me this very... useful technique, but I my understanding of the body is... kind of lacking." Rias was working on her magical studies, and to do that she wanted to study how the body worked. The Gremory family was famous for their high magical ability and their huge library of spells, but she typically only focused on magic that came with the other half of her bloodline. She raised her hand, and sparks started to gather between her fingers.

She touched Yuuto, and he jumped back from the spark... but he didn't collapse, because even if she copied the basic look of the technique, she failed to mess up the electric signals of his body.

"What was that suppose to do?"

"Not that." Rias responded, and she got back to studying. All she did was give Yuuto the smallest of shocks, but the effect of the spell didn't kick in. She had never studied anatomy to the degree she needed to study it. '... Naruto was bred for murder... I know how to kill people, but not how to do it efficiently... that is the difference.' Rias thought to herself.

Her Power of Destruction could be overpowered, and if she ever faced somebody who could vastly overpower her, then her family magic would be useless to her.

Yet, Naruto had managed to completely cripple her with nothing more than a simple touch of his hand using a spell that he just thought up on the fly. It was a spell that took so little magic power that even a newborn baby had enough magic to use it, but the mental image was giving her so much trouble. She couldn't get herself into the mindset of how it worked, so in the end the spell kept failing.

"Not very useful." Koneko noted.

The amount of magic that Rias just used was so little that even babies could produce that amount, so there was no way it could even hurt Yuuto in any real sense.

'I might give up on learning this one, and ask Naruto to tell me stories about other techniques he had seen... maybe ask him if he could imagine them with magic.' Rias sighed and leaned back. She just could not get a clear mental image of how the technique worked, but studying didn't seem to be helping her in that aspect either.

She was sure that he had seen a LOT of techniques when he was alive.

Some of them had to be useful to help her with her problems.
