Review Response:

ShadowBloodedge9396: I also hope Gasper can have a slightly easier time adjusting to people when he meets the citizens of Kamabakka.

Razberry17: Old Story? You mean Werefox of Bael? Thank you. Naruto will have Zoro level loyalty. Remember, in an earlier chapter, I showed that Kuma died during the Rebellion led by Kurama, so how could Naruto take Sairaorg's Pain when the ability and its user is not there. Though I do have an interesting idea with Pain.

Nathair1: I know, Koneko could have, but I decided after an entire MONTH of waiting, I'd just finish the beach part and then skip to the canon. Gryphon is his parent's child, NOT the white haired bastard's son. Not now, but there IS a REASON.

Vongola Ninja: I was being sarcastic, as Issei is stated to be 'Plain and Average'. But yeah, I have a funny Rias/Naruto interaction this chapter, hope you like it. Xenovia, Rossweisse, and Kuroka. I might add someone from One Piece but it depends on what happens.

Bednarczykmiki: You'd think… BUT…

Harem:

Koneko Toujo, Ravel Phenex

Bishops: Danjuro "Gentle" Tobita

Knights: Sai Kurozumi (SG User: Ink Dweller)

Rooks: Vulcan (Blacksmith, Hammer/Fist (from Reincarnated as a Behemoth))

Chapter 42: Changing Worlds

"You do know this is Gremory/Sitri/Phenex territory, correct?" Naruto asked, tapping Shigure on his shoulder, having drawn it. "But since you asked…" Naruto's Supernova jacket appeared on his shoulders, billowing in a nonexistent wind. "I am Naruto Bael, Mid-Class Devil, Pawn of Sairaorg Bael."

There was a silence between the devil and fallen.

"Well?"

"Well, what?"

Naruto deadpanned.

"I told you my name," he pointed to himself, then pointed at her. "So, tell me yours. Or would you prefer I call you a whore? Slut? Cunt? Cum-Dumpster? Hm, or I can…"

"ENOUGH!" the fallen yelled, her anger causing a tick mark to form on her head. "I am Raynare, Proud Fallen Angel."

"Cool." Naruto replied, smiling.

Raynare was feeling off by Naruto's attitude.

'He is to relaxed. His sword is drawn, yet he is not in a position to use it correctly.' Raynare thought, her feet touching the ground.

Naruto and Raynare's attention was drawn to Issei, who coughed, forcing blood from his lungs to burst from his mouth.

"Ah, right, you're dying." Naruto said, scratching his head. "I don't know any healing spells, but I can…"

Naruto raised a leg.

'Tekkai!'

Naruto's shin blocked Raynare's thorn themed Light spear, the thorns pressing against his leg.

Steam sizzled from said limb.

He may have his defenses enhanced with Rokushiki, but it did not cancel out his weakness to Light or holy weapons.

Naruto raised Shigure, standing perfectly still on one foot. Bringing his blade down to cleave Raynare in half.

Until it clashed with a second light spear Raynare created inches away from her neck.

'That would have…' Raynare thought, feeling pressure from Naruto's arm and leg.

It did not look like Naruto was exerting ANY force into his leg or sword, But Raynare could feel herself being pushed back.

She saw his fox ears and tail slowly appear before he grew in size, towering over her.

He stood ten feet, three inches tall.

"What are you?" Raynare asked as she felt her back being pushed into a bad position as Naruto pushed against her.

"A fox?" Naruto cheekily replied.

He jumped up, spinning in the air, his opposite leg which he stood with now striking Raynare's head, nearly caving it in.

She spun several times, her weapons dissipating before she hit the ground, dazed and confused.

She forced herself to stand up, wanting to continue fighting.

A red light appeared beside issei, drawing Naruto and Raynare's attention.

"And my fun is spoiled." Naruto said, powering down as he sheathed Shigure, raising his arms to have his hands behind his head.

Rias Gremory appeared, her skirt being pushed up from the magic to the point it exposed her panties, which made Naruto roll his eyes.

"Issei Hyoudo, I, Rias Gremory," Rias stated as eight red pawn Pieces appeared before her. "Grant you new life, as my Pawn."

The pawns vanished, entering Issei's body as Raynare's senses returned to normal.

Seeing Issei's wound healed and his breathing being gasps, Raynare growled.

Her mission was a failure.

"You bitch…" She growled, looking at Rias, who put her hand on her hip to face Raynare.

Scowling, Raynare's wings returned on her back and she took off into the night.

"Why didn't you stop her?" Rias asked as she knelt next to her Pawn. "You could have prevented her escape."

Naruto rolled his eyes, turning away from Rias.

"You know what else I could have done?" He asked sarcastically, raising a hand, his index finger raised. "One: I could have let the bitch double tap. Two: I could have kept the deadlock I had with her. Three: I could have killed her. Four:…"

"Enough, Naruto." Rias stated, not in the mood for any sass. "Next time you have…"

"Blow it out your inflated ass, Gremory." Naruto interrupted. "You aren't my King, so I can ignore you, fucking Princess Peach. Well, I guess you found your 'Mario' to save you from 'Bowser'."

Rias's eye twitched when Naruto took off.

'Did Sona tell him that!' Rias thought, cheeks puffed out in embarrassment.

Ever since the fight Naruto had with Riser all those years ago, Sona would some times call Rias 'Princess Peach'.

"I AM NOT PRINCESS PEACH!" Rias yelled at the fox, whose silhouette she could see in the sky.

Shaking her head, Rias turned to Issei.

"Don't worry, Issei. I'll take care of you."

Phenex Manor…

"You didn't get the groceries." Danjuro said, arms crossed and irritation in his tone and expression.

Naruto was on his knees, bowing in forgiveness.

"I do apologize… but there was a reason…" Naruto said, only to be tackled by Loona, who returned just moments prior from a walk with Ravel and Onimaru.

"What is going on?" Ravel asked, putting her familiars' harnesses away.

"Naruto spent all the grocery money at the arcade and forgot to get the food." Sai chirped from the couch, smiling brightly even when Naruto glared at him.

"I swear I was on my way to get the groceries, but a fallen…" Naruto tensed when he was whacked by Danjuro's hand right between his ears.

"No excuses…" Danjuro warned.

"Look at my leg!" Naruto said, showing the damage to said limb. "I can't fake light made injuries like…"

Danjuro stuck Naruto again.

"I SAID NO EXCUSES!" Danjuro proclaimed loudly.

"TALK TO RIAS THEN!" Naruto whimpered, the pain causing a welt to form on his head. "SHE WAS THERE TO RESURECT THAT PERVERT GUY!"

Ravel's interest was perked.

"Rias took Issei Hyoudo into her peerage?" Ravel asked, getting closer to Naruto.

Naruto nodded, holding his head.

Ravel sighed.

'Well, I didn't want him, even if he is strong down the line…' Ravel thought in a deadpan, thinking of Issei and Riser. 'I have dealt with enough outward perverts…'

Shaking herself from her thoughts, Ravel turned to Danjuro.

"Let's just forget about groceries for today. It is late and we have school tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am." Naruto, Danjuro, and Sai said in unison, the Bishop of Phenex returning to his room while Naruto helped Sai gather his materials from the couch, helping his friend clean.

Though it was difficult with Loona jumping on him for attention.

Next Morning…

"Rias used up all of her Pawns." Koneko stated as she, Naruto, and Ravel walked to class. "I am already irritated. It is that pervert, Issei… and Rias is having Kiba bring him to the clubroom after school. It is going to be a pain because now we have to show him the ropes due to there being a stray devil around here… on top of the Fallen problem."

Naruto groaned.

"Naruto, could you help…"

"No, I am not going to help hunt the stray devil to show Hyoudo how to be a Pawn." Naruto interrupted Koneko.

"I was going to ask if I could copy your homework." Koneko finished with a deadpan.

Naruto winced at her tone.

'Ugh.' He thought, sitting down to dig into his bag. 'Oh, right.'

He looked at Koneko.

"Ravel is having Sai and I do something after school for the YOC (Yokai Observation Club) today…" he said dully.

Usually, that meant passing out flyers for the Phenex Family to gain more clients.

End of the School Day…

"What do you mean you don't remember Yuma?" Issei asked his besties in maddening confusion.

He woke up that morning to Rias Gremory, RIAS GREMORY, in his bed.

Then his parents freaked.

But then no one remembered Yuma when he asked.

"Dude, your left hand does not need a name." Motohama joked.

"Jeez, don't be so desperate, Issei." Motsuda added.

Issei felt his sanity starting to slip violently as he gripped his head.

The door opened, Issei hearing the girls swoon.

Yuuto Kiba, the Pretty Boy, was walking through the sea of girls.

"Issei Hyoudo?" he asked said brown haired boy. "I'd like it if you'd accompany me to my club room?"

He smiled.

Skip, Evening…

Ravel, Sai, and Naruto had finished passed out flyers as the sun was setting, giving the ambient twilight its orange glow.

'I fucking hate this.' Naruto thought as he smiled, crushing the boxes. 'But at least I am not…'

His phone rang.

It was Sona's ring tone.

"Hello, Sona." Naruto said politely.

The complete Opposite of how he treats Rias.

"Naruto, I have a favor to ask…" Sona asked.

"If I do this can I cut class?" Naruto joked.

"Naruto."

"I am joking. What is the favor?"

"I'd like it if you could help my new servant, Genshiro Saji, acclimate… and also befriend him due to him being the only male on my peerage right here…" Sona said, slightly fibbing.

She did have one other male servant, but he was off doing his own thing currently.

"Well, hm…" Naruto thought.

He could always do with more friends.

"Sure, send him over and I'll see what I have to work with… but what am I being paid with?" Naruto asked, his tone becoming serious.

"I'll treat you to some ramen, BUT only ten bowls…" Sona said with emphasis on that specific number.

The last time she had treated Naruto to ramen nearly drained her entire bank account.

"Deal." Naruto said, smiling like the man who stole the sun and moon. 'Hm, I wonder how Koneko is doing with the stray right now?'

Abandoned Building, Edge of Kuoh…

Issei and Rias stood together, the former staring in awe.

Akeno hovered above the stray, hands crackling with lightning, smiling in patient excitement as Kiba slashed at two of its legs.

"Koneko!" He called out.

Kiba felt the faintest brush of a foot on his back before Koneko jumped off of him.

'Geppo!' She thought, avoiding a desperation acid attack.

She was wearing her battle attire, and DID NOT want it damaged by the likes of a Stray Devil.

"Shigan: Madara…" Koneko said as she balled up her fist, for her own Unique take on the Shigan. "Nibui Dangan!" *

Dozens of consecutive punches landed, sending the stray flying into the ceiling, cracking it.

As it peeled off, Koneko landed on the ceiling, sticking to it like Spiderman, grabbing the stray and throwing it into the ground with her full Rook strength.

"KIBA, AKENO!" Koneko called out.

Kiba nodded, jumping upward, slicing the stray further to be nothing but the humanoid portion.

Issei watched as Akeno struck it with lightning, causing it further pain and agony before she ended her attack.

Steam and smoke sizzled off of its defeated body.

"Well, then, any last words?" Rias asked as a magic circle appeared in Rias's hands.

"Go… fuck yourself…"

Rias smirked.

"Game over."

Issei watched in awe as Rias's Power of Destruction broke the stray into atom dust.

"So… what am I?" He asked nervously, pointing at himself. "Am I something cool, like a Knight."

"No, You're my Pawn." Rias stated bluntly.

Next Morning…

"WHAT! THE TWO BIG SISTERS ALONG WITH THE NEXT BIG SISTER ARE ALL DEVIL KINGS!" Issei shouted when he met up with his King.

Sona, Ravel, their peerages, and Naruto were there with Rias's peerage.

"My lord he is loud." Vulcan stated, eyes flat as she glared at Issei, her ears ringing.

"And he is perverted." Koneko whispered to Vulcan.

Vulcan looked a bit closer…

'Oh, yeah, definitely a pervert.' She thought, seeing the lust in Issei's eyes.

"Issei, meet Sona Sitri, or as you know her, Souna Shitori." Rias said, introducing her Pawn to Sona.

"Likewise, Saji," Sona called to her Pawn. "This is Rias Gremory."

Genshiro Saji (Age 16) was a second-year student, a member of the student council, was a fairly build teen.

"Well, nice to meet you." He said to Rias, turning to Issei, his smile being forced. "And it is nice to meet you too, Hyoudo."

"Likewise." Issei said with the same forced grin.

The two shook hands.

And tried to break them.

"Well, since we are introducing Pawns…" Naruto sauntered over, nonchalantly. "Naruto Bael, Pawn of Bael."

Saji glared at Naruto.

'The fuck is his deal?' Naruto thought, ignoring the thought as he extended his hand.

Saji took Naruto's hand.

'Hm?'

Naruto felt Saji squeeze his hand.

Naruto smiled.

"Oh, I see." Naruto stated playfully.

Saji became confused as Naruto's hand suddenly became covered in fur.

He tried to pull his hand out of Naruto's upon feeling the claws, but Naruto did not let go.

Saji felt pants shitting horror set in when Naruto grew taller, dwarfing him as the fur spread across his entire body, his fox attributes coming forth as his teeth became fangs.

Issei fell on his ass as Naruto snickered.

Saji desperately tried to pull his hand out of Naruto's, making the fox chuckle.

"Ah, come on~ I thought we were playing 'Break Hands'." Naruto inquired, his grip tightening.

"Naruto that's enough!" Ravel stated/ordered.

"Fine." Naruto relented, immediately transforming back to normal, making Saji collapse, his hand aching as it slowly started to go numb.

"That isn't funny." Ravel told him as he walked back to the Phenex peerage.

Naruto shrugged.

Ravel grabbed his ear, and pulled.

"OW, RAVEL! STOP!" Naruto hollered as Saji and Issei got back up. "OKAY, I'M SORRY, PLEASE STOP!"

Ravel relented.

'So, he is normal… well, normal-ish.' Saji thought before he realized something. "Pawn of Bael? I thought Ravel Phenex was your King?"

Naruto looked back at Saji with a kinder questioning face.

"Well," Naruto said as he patted Saji on the back. "It's a long story. I'll tell you later tonight."

"Tonight? Why is that?" The confused Pawn of Sitri asked.

"Because You and I are going on patrol tonight."

Evening…

"Wow, so the Pawns are pretty strong when we can Promote?" Saji asked Naruto.

"Yep." Naruto said as he and Saji sat on top of a roof.

Thankfully, Sona had given Saji the basics of being a devil, but decided a patrol duty would be simple for Saji to handle with Naruto being the leader.

Although he was apprehensive taking orders from someone younger than him, Saji warmed up to Naruto when he bought food and took him to said roof.

"You know, this is strange." Saji said as he stared off into the night sky.

"How so?" Naruto asked, finishing his food.

"Learning devils exist… and that you are a fox…" Saji looked at Naruto's ears and tail, which he had revealed once they were on the roof eating. "Learning about the peerage systems and how devil society works… it's a lot you know… really makes a guy's view of the world change."

"Yeah, it does. I initially hated the fact I was turned…" Naruto told Saji.

"What? Why?"

"Well, for one, I died." Naruto bluntly explained. "So it was done without MY consent…" Naruto's face softened, thinking of Jiraiya. "But my King resurrected me because someone dear to me who was dying begged him to save me… So… knowing that. How could I stay mad?"

Saji's eyes were wide.

He didn't know that.

How could he.

'Great, now I feel like an asshole…' he thought, scratching his head, nodding when he made a decision.

"I actually hated you." Saji admitted with a bashful tone and smile.

"Why?" Naruto asked in confusion. "I have never met you before."

Saji chuckled nervously, scratching his head.

"Well… hm…"

Saji's face lit up slightly.

"I was jealous."

"Of me?"

"Yeah." Saji admitted, staring Naruto in the eyes. "I saw you spending time with Sona! Why wouldn't I be jealous! I thought you were trying to get with her!"

Naruto wanted to say it wasn't true… but he could not really deny that the last few years… he had spent a lot of time with Ravel and Sona.

"Well, don't worry, Saji.' Naruto said in a promising tone. "I like Sona as a friend, nothing more. Plus, from what I can see…"

Saji didn't like the glint in Naruto's eyes.

"Sona doesn't have any really interest in anyone, SOOO work hard and maybe, JUST maybe, she might look at you like that." Naruto said devilishly.

Saji's face erupted with steam at the thought.

Sona turning to him, a bashful look on her face.

'Saji…' She would say shyly.

"Oh, man…" he exclaimed, trying not to let his perversions get the best of him.

He might be Naruto's Junior when it comes to being a devil, but he was Naruto's senior in academics, and now he was on the student council, so he had to set a bigger example.

"I will do my best." Saji explained, his fist hitting his chest.

Naruto held out a fist.

"HM?"

"Bump it with yours, for a fist bump." Naruto said, snickering at Saji's confusion.

Saji raised his fist.

They fist-bumped.

"I will help you, whenever you need it…" Naruto started to say before he turned. "Well, seems you will get to see your first fight tonight."

Grabbing Saji's shoulder, Naruto leaped off of the roof.

"MY FOOD!"

"I'll by you some dango as an apology!" Naruto replied, not liking the screaming in his ears as he used Geppo to get to the location he desired.

Meanwhile…

Issei felt like shitting his pants as a fallen angel stood above him, poised to strike.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Issei shouted with all of his guts, raising his left hand.

A red light appeared, forming into a small plate armor on Issei's arm, with a green gem on the back of his hand.

"What?" Issei and the Fallen, Dohnaseek, questioned.

"I see, you are more dangerous than normal." Dohnaseek stated. "I'll kill you know… Huh?"

His face was nearly caved in when Saji's skull sucker hit him in the face.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Dohnaseek cried out, his nose broken as Saji hit the concrete.

"NARUTO, THE FUCK!" Saji demanded, having hurt his shoulder and elbow when breaking his fall.

"Sorry, meant to toss you into the tree, I swear." Naruto said as he hopped back and forth in the air.

"Naruto?" Issei asked in stupefied confusion.

"Wow, nice armor, Issei." Naruto said in amusement. He was not well versed in Sacred Gear knowledge like the Kings, but he knew something was unique about this one.

Naruto dropped to the ground, landing on his feet.

Dohnaseek, having recovered, watched this in irritation.

'Are they ignoring me?' He thought as Naruto helped up Saji and Issei.

A tick formed on the fallen Angel's head.

"DON'T IGNORE…"

Naruto spun around, kicking the air.

"RANKYAKU!"

Dohnaseek didn't have any time to defend, not expecting the sudden attack.

The slice of air cut him at the shoulder, deeply.

Issei and Saji watched in horror as blood splattered on the ground, the fallen landing to keep standing.

"THE FUCK WAS THAT!" Dohnaseek demanded, manifesting a light spear. "HOW DARE YOU…"

Naruto pushed Saji and Issei back, drawing Yubashiri.

The spear and blade clashed.

"SO, you are the one who stopped Raynare from killing that devil filth earlier?" Dohnaseek asked as he remembered his boss telling him about a fox devil.

"Oh, the Dominatrix?" Naruto asked, stepping forward, to keep the pressure on Dohnaseek.

The elder of the two could not nothing but step backwards to keep standing.

'What is with this guy? Is he really just a normal devil?' Dohnaseek thought as he released one hand from his spear to attack Naruto.

'Kami-e!'

Naruto's head contoured like paper, evading Dohnaseek's attack.

"WHAT!"

Naruto's head reformed.

"You wanna punch fight? Alright?" Naruto said with a smirk that showed off his teeth.

He pulled back just enough to raise a fist, his index finger pointing out.

"SHIGAN!"

Dohnaseek was impaled.

He grunted in pain when Naruto hooked his finger within the Fallen's body instead of pulling it back.

Naruto's head shattered Dohnaseek's nose and front teeth, sending the fallen to the ground, clutching his face as blood smeared between his fingers.

"Done already?" Naruto asked as he sheathed Yubashiri, entering a Iaijutsu stance.

Dohnaseek felt a chill run down his spine.

The call of Death loomed over him as he watched Naruto wait, his hand above his sword's handle.

'Flee.'

Dohnaseek slammed his hands into the ground, pressing magic into the earth.

A dust cloud was picked up.

'Flee!' he thought as he ran out of the dust, summoning his wings before jumping.

"Ittoryu Iai…"

Dohnaseek's body felt frozen as he turned enough to see Naruto jumping through the air.

"SHISHI SONSON!"

Dohnaseek nearly fell from the sky with his leg flailing to the ground.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" He cried out, his voice muffled slightly from the missing teeth and broken nose.

Naruto fell to the ground, watching the Fallen flee before he touched ground.

Summoning a clone, Naruto turned to see Issei and Saji, the latter trying to get the former up due to being injured.

The clone ran off, following the blood trail left behind by Dohnaseek.

"Alright, you two, lets get him medical help." Naruto urged, helping Saji prop Issei up.

"Th… thank you…" Issei gasped out.

Twenty Minutes Later…

"Oh," Issei moaned in relief. "Thank you, Ms. Phenex."

Naruto, Saji, and Issei were at the Phenex Manor, where Ravel used a Phenex Tear to heal the injured Pawn.

"Just call me Ravel." Ravel said, feeling disturbed at being called Ms. Phenex. "After all, we are comrades."

Naruto was being scolded by Danjuro.

"… Our enemy escaped when you could have killed him." Danjuro lectured.

"But I let him go so my clone could follow him to his base!" Naruto argued.

"Don't get smart with me, Naruto."

"Why? You want me stupid?"

Danjuro's fist connected with Naruto's head.

As this was going on, Saji stood in the backyard, hand clenched in shame and self-disappointment.

'I couldn't do anything!' he thought, hitting the wood deck fence. 'I was unable to help!'

He hit the fence again.

"If you are feeling THAT strongly about it…" A voice said in Saji's head. "Then you and I should have a chat, partner."

Saji blinked.

No longer was he in the backyard of the Phenex Manor.

He was in what could be considered a Hellscape, but instead of regular flames, it was a sea of purple/black flames.

Before him, a black serpentine dragon.

Chapter 42, DONE!

Koneko's Shigan: Madara: Nibui Dangan translates to "Finger Pistol: Speckles: Dull Bullet". She is not using her finger to penetrate the flesh of her opponent, like the standard Shigan or variant, but using the machine gun/rapid fire technique of Shigan to fire off a barrage of fast punches, or in this case, 'Dull Bullet' I could have gone with Rubber Bullet, but I felt that would have been a Luffy Technique. Teehee.

Anyway, I had fun with this chapter, as you can see by the length.
I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, even if you disliked it, please leave a review because it helps me become a better author.
