Review Response:
Codywhite162: Thank you.
NaruCrazy: Yes, it is. But it is a dual layered dangerous. Look up Kanjuro from One Piece and you'll see what I mean.
Vongola Ninja: Like your name. Hm, maybe. My favorite bleach beauties are Yoruichi (Its why I had her in Ghoul of Gremory), Nel, and Harribel (which is why she is in Sage of Legend). No Makima. I am thinking on Power.
ShadowBloodedge9396: We shall see.
Borello: Thank you.
Nathair1: I know, because I have the Bishops already taken. So the Knight was the next best thing. Yes, Casca does. OH, Fuck yes, Koneko is.
Harem:
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, HIGHSCHOOL DXD OR ANY OTHER ANIME I MAY REFERENCE!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey"= Sacred Gear/ Communication link
Chapter 32: Remnants of Holiday
A broad sword appeared in Casca's hand, her face becoming sickeningly sweet as she looked at them, making Koneko and Ravel shudder in fear.
"We may have to do things the hard way." Casca said with a cute head tilt.
"No… I'm good." Koneko answered.
"I am about to leave, come on, Naruto." Ravel said as she helped Naruto stand, his cheeks deep crimson from Koneko's pinching.
"Nya~"
"Kurotama?" Naruto said as he picked his cat up.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot, she came here a few hours ago, I don't know why though." Koneko said as she scratched Kuroka's ear.
"Well, thank you for looking after her…" Naruto said before Koneko returned his wallet to him. "Thank you, nearly forgot."
"Yeah, but you know what else you forgot?" Koneko asked as the toilet flushed, the sink turning on, before Guts exited the bathroom.
"What did…"
Koneko pulled Naruto down and locked lips.
Aggressively.
Ravel's pigtails flared up as she scowled.
Casca's hand covered her mouth with shock in her widening eyes.
Guts tilted his head with a crazed smirk.
Naruto's eyes started to roll into the back of his head from the intensity of Koneko's liplock.
Koneko pulled off, a loud smack sound from the separation with thick saliva connecting them.
Both of them were blushing, chests heaving for air as they stared at each other.
Ravel stomped over and grabbed Naruto's wrist.
"We're leaving." She stated as she walked toward the door, Naruto (with his head in the clouds) followed her without resistance.
"Good night." Rias called out as the Phenex peerage left.
"Well, guess we must go too." Guts stated as he prepared a teleportation circle.
"I had a fun time, Koneko." Casca said as she hugged Koneko again.
She leaned into Koneko's ear.
"You better act strong, Naruto seems a bit dense, but he is a good boy." Casca whispered. "Keep him close."
"I will." Koneko replied as she knelt and pressed her face into Casca's stomach. "I can't wait to meet you, little one."
Casca, Guts, and Rias smiled at Koneko's action.
Later, Phenex Estate…
"OH, GOOD GOD WHAT HAPPENED!" Manami screamed when she saw Ravel, Danjuro, Sai, and Naruto enter the grounds, Loona and Onimaru appearing, all of them scuffed up.
"We're fine my beloved." Danjuro said as he knelt down and hugged his wife, pecking her on the lips.
Manami shook in her husband's grasp, but took deep breathes to calm herself.
She glanced up and took note of Sai.
"Oh, we have a new member?" She asked as she separated from Danjuro.
"Yes," Sai said as he politely bowed. "I am Sai Kurozumi, uh… Knight of Phenex?"
As Sai introduced himself, Naruto walked up the stairs, entering his room.
He slowly turned on the light, waking Kuroka (Who was on his bed) from her slumber.
Getting up, Kuroka rubbed herself against Naruto's leg, his shirt hitting the floor, shoes kicked off into the corner.
"Kurotama." Naruto said tiredly as he picked her up, her fur tickling his skin.
Kuroka meowed, rubbing herself into his arms, pawing at his face.
A weak smile etched itself onto his face as Naruto got into his bed, turning the light out.
"Kurotama, I am…" Naruto yawned. "Going somewhere…"
Kuroka listened to his breathing becoming subtle and soft, snuggling into him for his warmth.
Next Morning…
Ravel didn't leave her room, sitting dully at her mirror, brushing her hair, absent mindedly.
'We have a few more days before school starts…' She thought, attempting to get focused on school to distract herself.
Ever since she returned home the night before, this sinking, hollow feeling was not leaving her.
It was rooted in her chest.
What was this feeling?
It wasn't confusion, or fear.
Ravel kept brushing her hair.
*KNOCK, KNOCK*
"Come in." Ravel replied as she put her brush down, turning toward the door, expecting Danjuro…
But it was Koneko.
"Yo, Phenex." Koneko greeted.
She was wearing jean shorts, and a black zipper jacket.
"Toujo." Ravel replied dully. "You here for Naruto?"
"He isn't here." Koneko said as she sat on Ravel's bed, liking how soft it was. "Apparently, he left early this morning to go somewhere important."
"Hm…"
Koneko quirked an eyebrow.
"Alright," Koneko said, jumping off of the bed and walking up to Ravel. "What's going on, Phenex?"
"I don't know."
"You don't or you don't want to talk?"
"I just…" Ravel started to say, feeling the sensation pulsate stronger. "I just don't know what…"
Koneko watched Ravel's more calm face become anguished.
Instinctively, Koneko's arms wrapped around Ravel's shoulders, pulling her into an embrace, hand on Ravel's head.
"I… i… I could barely stop that thing…" Ravel cried out, clutching Koneko tightly. "I had… to rely on Naruto…"
She sniffled, her throat becoming scratchy.
"I am an…. Unworthy… King…"
Koneko didn't say anything, letting Ravel vent.
She quietly patted Ravel's head gently, offering physical comfort instead of verbal.
Meanwhile…
Naruto leaped through the air with Geppo, the brisk cold air of the ocean and the salt scent were stinging, but not unpleasant as he headed toward a very specific location.
'Home…' Naruto thought as he carried a large bag on his back.
He descended to the ground, turning into a full fox to scamper through the still active barrier that protected his home.
Uzushiogakure.
An uneasy sensation bubbled in Naruto's stomach.
Anxiety.
It has been nine years since the destruction of Uzushiogakure.
Since Minato and Kushina died.
Naruto continued down the path that led to the desolated seaside village.
Returning to his human form, Naruto stood at the border gate.
His heart beat loudly in anxiousness.
Naruto touched his chest, feeling it thump against his palm.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto removed the bag from his back and entered the village.
"It's… just as we left it…" Naruto mumbled to no one, walking toward the center of the village.
Memories of his past were hazy at best, with everything that had happened since then.
"HM?"
Naruto's lip jutted out in confusion, eyes slanting as he neared a small monument.
'Okay, this definitely wasn't here.' Naruto thought as he knelt down, looking at it.
It was a simple white marble stone slab.
Inscribed upon it was thus:
Here Lies the Once Great Uzushiogakure
Treasured Home of Uzumaki D. Kurama and Kushina
May we never have a tragedy like this ever happen again.
~Uzumaki Yasaka
"Uzumaki Yasaka?"
Kyoto…
"CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
With the wind knocked out of her, Yasaka recovered, her head feeling like it had been hit with an invisible, intangible force to make her brain hurt.
"Excuse me." Yasaka stated as she wiped her nose.
"EW, mommy that was gross." Kunou exclaimed as she held a disgusted expression on her face.
"Well, well, young lady," The mother kitsune stated as she picked her daughter up, a cheeky smile. "I guess I have to teach you manners…"
"Please, No…" Kunou begged weakly, doing her best puppy dog eyes.
Uzushiogakure…
Naruto shrugged, putting his bag down and opening it.
He pulled out a small table that was the size of a shoebox, placing it before the monument.
Incense holder with incense was placed on it.
A bottle of sake was uncorked as a sake cup was placed on the small table.
Naruto poured the sake into the cup, recorking it shortly afterward.
"Hey, mom, dad." Naruto said as he sat down, his face holding melancholy.
Nine years.
It hurt. Even after that long.
"Sorry I wasn't able to visit sooner." Naruto said sadly, his ears drooping. "Pervy Sage and I traveled around the world, so we had little time to visit. I know Fujima is with you too."
Naruto felt more guilt.
He thought hard on his parents and Fujima.
But it was difficult to get a mental image of them.
Their features, blurred and fuzzy.
Naruto gripped his pants, biting his lip.
He could barely remember what his parents looked like on his own.
He personally had no pictures of them.
Iva had the portrait that had his mother's family, but it was a young Kushina, not the mother he knew.
"I… I wish Kuroka was able to come with me. Koneko too… Koneko is Shirone's new name." Naruto continued.
Naruto slumped.
"I have a good family… and many friends… my mentors are strict, but are so because they believe I can do my best." He continued.
The incense burned, its scent lifting into the air, through Naruto's nose.
The sounds of the ocean filling the silence.
Naruto adjusted to sit on his knees, clapping his hands in a silent prayer.
Phenex Estate…
Ravel sat at the table with Koneko, Sai, Manami and Danjuro.
It had been two hours since her small break down, and she was happy to eat something.
"So, you are Phenex's Knight?" Koneko asked as she stared at Sai.
"Yes, I am." Sai explained again.
Koneko glared at him.
'Something about him just doesn't sit right with me.' Koneko thought as she continued her meal.
Suddenly, the doorbell went off.
"I'll get it." Danjuro said as he stood up, dismissing himself from the table.
He left the room.
"You are asking lots of questions of me… Koneko?" Sai said cautiously, trying to make sure he didn't get her name wrong.
"Well, you are Phenex's newest Piece, but you could…"
"Drop it, Toujo, Sai nearly died helping us kill that stray devil." Ravel interrupted, an irritated look on her face. "He is trustworthy."
Koneko's lips puckered in irritation.
Before she could respond, Danjuro returned, opening the door wider to let their guest in.
"Vulcan?" Koneko said when she saw the blacksmith enter the dining room.
"Oh, well~ if it isn't Naruto's little cat friend." Vulcan said with a laugh.
"It's been a while." Koneko said, getting up from the table and approaching the Beast Kin. "Why are you here?"
"Well…." Vulcan said as she scratched the back of her head, glancing at Ravel. "I sort of maybe kinda lost my shop…."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"HOW?" Koneko demanded with deadpan.
"Gambling."
"Of course." Ravel face palmed. "But why did you come here?"
"Welp, I had a thought…" Vulcan said with a playful serious face. "That I could join the Phenex Peerage…"
Meanwhile, Naruto's Room…
Unknown to the other inhabitants of the Phenex house, Kuroka was laying on Naruto's bed, in her human form.
She lay in the sunlight that beamed into his window.
'I am so BORED!' she thought, being verbally quiet to not alert her housemates.
Sighing, she turned to her side, hair sliding into her face.
Pushing it aside, Kuroka's attention was drawn to Naruto's dirty clothes basket.
Inside was his training clothes.
'Hmm…' Kuroka thought as she rolled off of the bed, landing quietly on her feet.
Walking up to the clothes bin, Kuroka pulled out a pair of boxers, sweat pants and a track sweater.
'Well, no one will know, and Naruto's clothes expand…' Kuroka thought mischievously.
Stripping into her birthday suit, Wado Ichimonji on the bed, Kuroka pulled the boxers up her slender legs, followed by the sweatpants.
Zipping up the track jacket, Kuroka's arousal was physically intoxicating.
The scent of sweat wafted through her nose.
She felt incredibly dirty in sexual way as she ran her hand over her body, cupping her breasts.
'Okay… okay… I should stop…' Kuroka thought, biting her lip to stifle any stray sounds if possible.
She grabbed the zipper on the jacket… but Kuroka sat on the bed.
'Fuck it.' She thought as she lay on the bed, pulling the sweater over her nose, cupping herself over Naruto's sweatpants.
Dining Room…
"You want to join me as a member?" Ravel asked Vulcan, who was drinking some coffee.
"Yep." Vulcan said in a carefree tone. "Since I lost my shop, I had to grab what I could and I talked to Sairaorg, he told me where to find Naruto. And since he talks about you a lot, I thought it would be good to settle down."
Ravel pinched her nose.
"You mean to tell me, you bet everything, lost everything, and decide to mooch off of my master?" Danjuro asked Vulcan, coming off in an angered tone, though polite in delivery.
"Well, when you say it like that…" Vulcan said as she put her coffee down. "You make me sound like a cunt."
Minami dropped her utensils at Vulcan's coarse language.
"Now, I don't intend to be a free loader." Vulcan continued as she stood up, putting her hand on her chest. "If I join you, I can make you weapons or gear for…"
Vulcan stopped mid-sentence when a loud… LOUD guttural moan was heard, stifled by the walls.
"Is… Is there someone else here?" Koneko asked as she stood up. "Because I know that voice doesn't belong to anyone here. And it…"
Realizing where the moan came from, Koneko ran from the dining room.
Two Minutes Prior…
Kuroka was masturbating feverishly.
Her cheeks red, eyes glazed over as she continued her self-pleasure.
'Yes, Yes, YES!' Kuroka mentally chanted as she neared her climax…
A LOUD guttural moan ripped from her throat.
'Oh…. Fuck…' Kuroka thought, eyes wide in realization to what she had just did.
Her ears twitched at the sudden faint sound of feet heading toward the stairs.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!' Kuroka thought as she threw the clothes off, grabbed her clothes, and transformed back into her cat form, successfully hiding her clothing…
Except Wado Ichimonji on the bed.
The foot steps were nearing Naruto's bedroom door, their pace quickening as Koneko and Ravel's voices were heard.
Kuroka jumped toward the bed.
'SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!'
Outside the door…
"You are paranoid." Sai said with a slight laugh. "There is no one in the room… maybe except Naruto's cat."
"But we all HEARD a moan." Koneko said as she grabbed the doorknob and opened it.
Low and behold, the group looked into the room, and only saw Kurotama on the bed, eyes wide and shaking.
"Oh, sweety." Ravel said as she walked in and picked the cat up, cradling her. "We didn't mean to scare you."
'Phew…' Kuroka sighed, still tense but slowly relaxing. 'I was for sure they would…'
"What's that smell?" Vulcan asked, pinching her nose. "Has Naruto been a naughty boy and just refusing to air out his room?"
Ravel, Koneko, and Kuroka went red at that.
The two former because the thought of Naruto masturbating was arousing, and the latter because she was scared of being caught.
"Anyway, let's just open a window and leave." Danjuro stated, not wishing to be in Naruto's room longer than they should.
Once a window was opened, the group left, Kuroka in Ravel's arms.
On her neck ribbon, hidden with a transformation jutsu, Wado Ichimonji and her clothes hung like a little charm.
'When I get a moment, I'll change back and put my clothes on.' Kuroka thought, as if she revealed her human form… she would be naked.
"So, about my proposal?" Vulcan asked Ravel, leaning in with a cheeky look and smile.
Ravel sighed.
"What can you offer me beside your work as a blacksmith?" Ravel asked, defeat in her voice.
"I am a good fighter," Vulcan said, flexing, showing off her muscles. "I use a hammer in combat, but I am no stranger to hand to hand combat."
"Well, then I guess you are my first Rook." Ravel said as she summoned a Rook Piece.
Afternoon, Uzushiogakure…
"Dad… I think… I think I mastered the Rasengan." Naruto said, having spent the last few hours just… talking to his parents and Fujima. "Well, 'Mastered' is subjective…"
Naruto made a shadow Clone, holding his hand up and with the clone adding rotation, the Rasengan was created, perfectly.
Naruto ended his clone, staring at his hand with the Rasengan before he ended it, the blue sphere petering out into nothing.
"Fujima, I learned Rokushiki, and I am learning variants from other masters… Mom, I am mastering Ittoryu and Nitoryu, along with a Yontoryu style, mixing Rokushiki and Swordsmanship."
Naruto punched the air several times before spin kicking twice.
"I also have instruction for a variant of Tekkai." Naruto said, sheepishly scratching his head. "Though… I have yet to start since… Yontoryu."
He chuckled.
"I haven't started my Haki training, Lucci-sensei said that he was only told to teach me Rokushiki. So, still on the lookout for a master…"
Naruto stopped.
His ears twitching.
He heard slow footsteps.
As if they knew he was there and were trying to hide.
'Soru!'
Naruto vanished from his spot, grabbing Shigure, and drawing it before he appeared behind the person.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Iva?" Naruto said in confusion, watching the Okama Queen jump back, grabbing his chest from the shock. "Why were you spying on me?"
"I didn't want to interrupt you, Naruto." Iva replied, checking to make sure he didn't ruin his makeup. "I wanted to be respectful."
"I see, but you should have just approached." Naruto deadpanned as he sheathed Shigure. "I could have killed you."
Iva scoffed, hands on his hips.
"As if you could." He said hotly.
"Oh, you wanna test that?" Naruto asked, crossing his fingers, summoning a clone.
"You sure you want to try?" Iva asked, facing Naruto, dead serious.
Naruto held up his hand.
"Fine, have it your way, Naruto." Iva stated, preparing for anything…
EXCEPT he didn't expect Naruto and the clone to run up, and make a Rasengan.
"WHAT!" Iva shouted, eyes bugging out.
"RASENGA…"
"DEATH WINK!"
"BUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto was sent flying backwards.
Iva sighed.
'He sure is full of surprises. You'd be proud of him, Minato.' Iva thought as he walked up to Naruto. "So, Naruto, you excited for school?"
"Huh? School?" Naruto asked as he held his aching head.
"yes, Kuoh Acadamies new school year starts in two days… It's why you went to Kuoh, wasn't it?" Iva asked in confusion.
Naruto blinked…
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Underworld…
Danzo walked slowly through his home, scroll in hand.
'Sai's report states he was reincarnated, which was not the worst that could have happened, and puts him in the perfect position.' Danzo thought, smiling as he rolled the scroll up. 'How can I test Uzumaki next?'
Chapter 32, DONE!
Sorry for the long wait. But I love this chapter.
Ravel got to vent.
Kuroka got her… moment.
Naruto got to talk to his parents, find out someone has visited Uzushiogakure before he did.
And Danzo… creepy fuck.
I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please leave a review, even if you hated as it helps me become a better author.
