Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
Loki.
Loki was his mother, and his older sisters were the Norns.
"It's unfortunate... but he is our lover, and there isn't anything we can really do. One day one of us is going to kill his family." Ichika was washing wishes, breakfast dishes, with Futaba. It was just the two of them alone that knew Naruto's family situation. Ichika's opinion of Naruto didn't really change at all, since who his family was did not change who HE was, and she already judged him to be a good man.
Futaba was... conflicted.
"We're his lovers, but we're going to have to murder his family one day. When he learns, he won't be able to love us. A Valkyrie's strength comes from love... our love for him, and his love for us. It's hard to love your sister's murderer." Futaba couldn't imagine herself loving any man who killed her sisters, and she was sure the same thing applied to Naruto as well. "... We can't tell him the truth, but we can't lie to him either." Futaba had her hands in the warm water, but no dishes were getting done.
She couldn't protect her family if the love between them and their lover couldn't grow.
"Well, we just have to work to make him love us more than his family... that's all we can do. Naruto is a good man. He's my lover, the lover I accepted." Ichika had faith that things would work out somehow. Naruto just needed to know what he NEEDED to know, and right now he didn't really need to know his sisters were wicked bitches.
Ichika's hand stopped as well.
Her words said one thing, but her eyes another.
"... He only needs to hate one of us... the only one he needs to hate is the one who killed his sisters... I'll do it." Futaba could see her older sister wasn't sure of herself or her words.
She didn't want to risk being hated.
She was a soldier, but she was a soldier who was being made to embrace her feminine side to his stronger. She didn't want her lover to hate her, and any sane person would be conflicted about killing a lover's family. Her sister was insane in many ways, but she was sane in the few ways that counted.
"No... all my sisters deserve love... I'll do it."
"No, you love him more than I do... I'll kill his family." Futaba didn't agree with Ichika disagreeing with her.
"Kill whose family?" Misa walked in at the weirdest moment. Ichika froze and tried to think up something to say in this situation, but found herself drawing a blank. She opened her mouth, and she almost blabbed the truth.
Futaba covered her mouth.
"You misheard, nobody said anything about killing anyone's family. At least, not a person. There is a cute mouse in the building, so I'll call an exterminator." Futaba lied with a smile on her face. Her closed eyes didn't show any hint of her deception, and Misa just shrugged and accepted that.
Ichika, Futaba, Misa, Shino, and Kururi all didn't go to school, 4 of them were too old to attent school, and 1 was much too young to go to a school where Naruto would be able to become a teacher and watch over her. They were having a very serious talk when anyone could have just walked in and heard it.
'I almost blabbed.'
'We can't talk about it when Grimgerde is here, her hearing will pick it up. We also can't talk about this when the others are here.' Futaba looked at Shino passed by the doorway with a book in her hands. Despite her younger form, she was the 4th oldest of them, and college age. "Misa, have you done a Val Love recently?" Futaba started to dry her hands off on a towel.
"No, can't say I have. Yesterday was Mutsumi's turn to try, but she chickened out at the last second. What is this?" Misa was handed a box.
"Naruto's the PE teacher at our younger sister's school... and we just so happen to have a Val Love for Feeding your Lover Lunch... so why don't you go visit him and feed him lunch?" Futaba suggested with a smile. She had made lunch for all the others, but she purposely left Naruto out when making lunches so that she could send somebody with the lunch.
Typically Val Loves were just mundane couple things, but they didn't grant as much experience. The more heart pounding loves got them much more exp to level up with, so usually when she saw a lame one, she would just toss it and get a raunchier one for her sisters to try out.
"Me!?"
"Ichika is the highest level of us, but her AP consumption is too high for prolonged battle. We need more fighters... half of us are support and defense oriented, you can fight." Futaba placed the bento right in Misa's nervous hands. "... oh... and can you tell Naruto that we're our of soup stock, so if he can Yakumo could get some on the way home that would be fantastic." Futaba was smiling, but her smile still showed that there wasn't a no that would be taken for an answer.
"When is the next demon attack?" Misa asked.
She was just curious.
"Tomorrow, and it will be attacking the train station. Ichika could handle it on her own as usual, but we want to see if Natsuki wants to try to fight it. She's another combat type." Futaba looked at Ichika, who was zoned out. She had been zoned out for awhile now since Misa entered the room, and she was really deep in thought.
-Later-
"He isn't here!?"
"Yeah, Uzumaki-sensei went out for lunch, since he forgot to bring it."
-With Naruto-
A tiny grown woman.
Unlike Naruto, who stood much taller than a Japanese man, the girl who he was sitting across from had the same messy blond hair as him, though she kept it tied behind her head... as well as she could. She was dressed in a revealing outside, showing her... average breasts, which looked larger on her shorter body.
Piercing red eyes.
Skuld.
His youngest older sister, and the only one that he found himself getting along with sometimes, the other two were... much harder to get along with.
"You look very handsome in that suit." Skuld praised him as she watched him eat lunch, in the same suit that he had gone to school in... as a teacher. Naruto nodded passively, since he hadn't expected Skuld to just randomly show up and invite him to lunch. His afternoon was free anyway after lunch, so there wasn't a reason to not take her invitation. "I'm serious, I wish you would wear the clothing of our ancestors, but a suit works too... you could stand to show off your body more. I bet you would attract women to you like flies to honey if you showed off your chest more." Skuld gave him advice with a sweet smile.
Naruto nodded.
'I'll just not mention the fact I have 9 lovers right now.' Naruto didn't want to give his sister a heart attack. "... So... what about you... any lover?" Naruto asked her.
Skuld smiled.
"I met a fine woman, and made her my lover. She's my Snorri, I told her to leave us alone right now, since I wanted to spend some time with my brother..." Skuld gave a genuine smile for a moment when she mentioned her lover. "... Naruto... won't you come and live with me, please... nothing in the world would make me happier than to have you, and Roskva in my life together... I know your godfather died recently... it must be hard for you." Skuld reached out and grabbed his hand.
She smiled.
His hand dwarfed her own in size, showing that he had grown into a fine young man. It was only a few years previously that her hands were bigger than his were, and now he had such big hands.
"I can't."
"You have nothing keeping you here anymore."
"I do... I think my godfather was killed... and I'm going to find his killer, and put an end to them. His killer will come for me eventually... so I'm going to stay right here, and give them a prime target." Naruto looked down when Skuld pulled her hands off of him and flinched. He looked at her, and she avoided his gaze.
"Somebody kill him... the plane just crashed, that's what I heard." Skuld couldn't make eye contact with him.
She did it.
She summoned a demon, the demon that caused the plane to crash and kill his godfather. She did it on her mother's orders, but part of her wanted to get rid of the man who was preventing Naruto from living with her. She felt horrible that she did it, but nothing she could say would undo the deaths that she had caused in the name of saving the world.
"Do you really... hate the thought of living with me that much?"
"I do... I hate the thought of living with Mom... she's a horrible, nasty person. She gave birth to me, but she's never once been a good mother..." Naruto's hand went to his bandaged arm. Skuld looked at it, before she glanced away.
She knew what was under those bandages.
"... She's still our mom... and... you're her favorite. You're the only one who she... well... she pays more attention to you." Skuld spoke.
He heard the resentment.
"Mom deluded herself into thinking she is an evil god, and tried to force me to become strong to fulfill her goals. I'm not sorry at all to say this... as long as you're with her... I'm not going to ever be happy with you..." Naruto stood up, and he put some bills on the table to pay for lunch. "... it was nice seeing you again Skuld, you're the only one in our family that I like... even if you are trying to drag me back to that hell."
Skuld looked down.
"... I'm... it was nice seeing you too. I'm sorry... one day, I'll force you to come home." Skuld watched as Naruto walked away.
...
She wiped a tear from her eye.
"... I'll force you to come home, because when this world ends... only the strong mother approves of will be saved. I won't let you die. I'll locate the Valkyries Odin sent, and once they are all dead... I'll come back for you, I promise." Skuld was determined. She would save the world, and create a happy life for herself and her family. "... I'll kill those valkyries and their lover, that way when Ragnarok happens... the evil gods will emerge victorious above all." Skuld started to walk away.
She had a lot of work to do.
She only had 10 months to prepare for war against the gods.
