Hey lads, I do hope you're all doing well

Welcome to Chapter 3 where we finally introduce Sona-Kaichou and her wonderful reaction to what happened to her beloved school.

Let me know what y'all think lads.

Start:

Outrageous and disgraceful

Sona Sitri took immense satisfaction in her role as the president of the student council, that role was her pride and joy, the duties done that most would consider tedious and boring brought her joy like no other.

As student council president, she had full authority and jurisdiction to confront, punish and lecture any student who weren't performing to the best of their ability.

Being student council president meant she could help guide those lost and helpless students in forging a better future for themselves.

It meant a lot to her to see every single student pass with flying colors, a rather admirable and unique goal for a devil but that's one of the qualities that separated her from most of her kin.

Hell! Her ultimate dream was to start a school for lower and middle class devils so they could be more knowledgeable about rating games, culture, education… it might have not shown much through her icy, strict and disciplinary attitude but she truly cared about the wellbeing and success of others whether they be devils or humans or something else.

Which is why yesterday's events were scandalously horrid and appalling for her. To see so many bright and well mannered students throw away their education and act like idiotic brainless brutes hurt her.

It was also a damage to her pride that she could not prevent and stop those students from being dim-witted. Over what were they being dim-witted about? Rias looping her arm around the elbow of a new student and dragging him inside.

For almost all the students to go insane simply because of something as stupid as that? No! this was in plain terms, just unacceptable and that's why everyone, minus those who stayed until they were dismissed, were going to be punished severely.

The harshest of punishments falling on one Issei Hyoudou of course, it was only because of her mind manipulation ability that all devils possessed that she was able to prevent the reputation of this academy from being dragged through the mud.

What if she didn't possess such an ability? Didn't all those students understand that attending top universities like Oxford or Harvard would be impossible with a damaged reputation? Did they not realize that attending universities or colleges in general would be quite difficult?

All of them, especially Issei Hyoudou! They all will be disciplined very, very thoroughly. This she vowed.

But before anything, she will personally prevent the same circumstances from ever happening again by greeting and welcoming the new student while daring anyone to even glance at their direction.

So livid that she was, she felt like she could whip the behind of every student who participated in yesterday's madness and add in her devil powers to boot.

Which is why she, Sona Sitri of the house of Sitri, the younger sister of the Satan Leviathan and the president of the prestigious Kuoh academy's student council was standing here at the gates, waiting to meet and welcome the one who unintentionally caused the riot twenty-four hours ago.

'So that is him… though physically he looks strong and capable, I still find it hard to believe that this human managed to beat Rias and her peerage, a very impressive task for a human." Sona thought with a bit of awe as she studied the young man who came in with her childhood friend and stood before her.

"Hello, my name is Sona Shitori, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am the student council president. feel free to address me as Sona-Kaichou or just Kaichou."

"It's nice to meet you too, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. Sorry about what happened yesterday." Naruto said sheepishly, though he quickly noticed how unlike yesterday, everyone seemed to not pay them any sort of attention at all, huh… talk about weird.

"Nothing to apologize for Uzumaki-Kun, if anything it's these sorry and miserable lot who should be apologizing to you for chasing you and for causing a terrible first impression." Her voice, though quiet and low, seemed to reach the ears of all the students in the courtyard who deflated at her words.

Turning her attention to her childhood friend for the first time this morning, Sona smiled and nodded "Rias."

"Sona, I'm a bit surprised to see you here first thing in the morning" Rias nodded back.

"I don't want a repeat of yesterday's incident which is why I'm here." Inhaling deeply and pushing her glasses to the bridge of her nose, Sona turned around to look at the students responsible for giving her a headache. "I want all of you to head to your classes. Now!"

Immediately and without any form of protest, all the students obeyed the student council president and headed to their classes, none daring to speak a word in risk of aggravating the already aggravated woman.

'Damn that's impressive.' Naruto thought, very amazed with how she commanded everyone and seemed graceful while doing it.

Without glancing in their direction, Sona spoke up "Uzumaki-Kun, Rias, come with me please."

The shinobi and Gremory heiress followed the younger sister of the Satan Leviathan, a look of unease and discomfort decorating the jinchuriki's features as he could feel the displeasure rolling off from the woman in front of him, he could tell that it wasn't aimed at him but such knowledge didn't deter him from feeling this way.

"Rias, I'd like to punish your pawn, while everyone's behavior yesterday was atrocious yes, it was your pawn who led everyone into chasing after you both."

'So she's a devil too huh.' Naruto thought mildly surprised, it would make sense considering how cordial yet friendly the two women seemed to one another.

"Now Sona, you know that as his king, it is my right to punish Issei-Kun for his actions, rest assured though that I will punish him for what he participated in, I myself am appalled by what he did."

Stopping abruptly, Sona turned around to grace her childhood friend with the look "Really… You can't fault me for doubting you Rias but you are kind, too kind even at times. Can I really trust you to handle the punishment for Hyoudou?"

"You certainly can Sona, I'll punish Issei so hard that the first thing he'll do this morning before lunch break is apologize to both you and Naruto-Kun.

'Yeah I just don't see that weirdo saying sorry to…'

XXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'…Me, he actually came up to me and said sorry.'

To say Naruto was surprised was an understatement, he genuinely thought Issei Hyoudou would rather eat bleach than to talk, much less apologize to him, he hardly knew the fella, but from the first moment they met till now, it only seemed that the harem-yearning man disliked and barely tolerated him.

"Uhh, can you repeat that again, I'm not sure I heard you right?"

"I said I'm sorry, I know I've been a jerk lately and I hope we can start over" Issei stated glumly.

Issei despite his perverted tendencies was actually a man who had his heart in the right place.

Having felt that he was very weak in his recent ordeal with Raynare and the fallen angels, and as a teenager with insecurities, to have to witness a guy the same age as him just utterly demolish him and the other peerage members in a fight, it was humiliating and a miserable experience.

It didn't help that the guy was handsome and effortlessly captured the attention of both Rias and Akeno, to have to interact with someone that fortunate in luck was a difficult pill to swallow but one he had to nonetheless in order to both avoid the spanking delivered by his king and to avoid his guilty consciousness.

"Yeah, I don't mind starting over, my name's Naruto Uzumaki."

"I'm Issei Hyoudou, nice to meet ya"

All around the unique duo in the hallway were students who were keenly observing and now whispering harshly to one another, their gossip and… eccentric comments easily being heard by the blonde and devil.

"What is that pervert doing now?"

"Naruto-Sama, why are you talking to that freak?"

"Don't tell me they just became friends!"

"The perverted libido should just die!"

"Get away Naruto-Sama, that pervert is contagious!"

Naruto watched as a vein appeared in Issei's forehead, each comment just further enlarging the blood vessel. The last remark about him being contagious is what finally blew Issei over the edge.

"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU" Issei bellowed, putting his impressive set of lungs to use startling and terrifying everyone minus the shinobi.

"MAKE FUNNY OF ME NOW BUT KNOW THIS, ALL YOU GUYS WILL WISH YOU WERE HALF AS COOL AS ME AND AS FOR YOU LADIES, YOU ALL WILL BEG TO JOIN MY HAREM IN THE FUTURE AND I WON'T LET ANY OF YOU IN EVER!

Silence, pure silence reigned in the crowded and student-littered hallway, none spoke as each of them silently contemplated the leader of the perverted trio's declaration.

Suddenly one of the female student's face contorted in fury, then an additional two faces, then eight and then all at once.

If it wasn't the feel of their bloodlust or the rage that clouded their eyes, it follows that their wrath-induced screams was what had Issei turning tail and sprinting away from the angered and hostile woman.

Naruto watched as the masses of students chased after Issei Hyoudou.

Feeling nostalgia and sadness as Issei's quirks reminded him of his Godfather, both were very shameless, both had an unhealthy amount of appreciation for women and yet that's where the similarities ended from what he knew so far.

Jiraiya, though he claimed to be a super-pervert, was more of an honorable man than most people gave him credit for. In a world full of bloodshed and hatred, he was one of the few who aspired to achieving world peace, he cherished and loved people like they were his own family.

And as he recently found out from his fellow disciples, Jiraiya stayed behind in order to look after and care for three orphans he didn't even know, such actions would have surprised many who claimed to know Jiraiya but never truly knew him, he had a heart of gold underneath that pervy and lewd exterior.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, his emotions spiking at the thought of his dead Godfather, he took several more breaths to calm his heart, feeling great agony at the loss of his father figure.

Closing his eyes in concentration, Naruto pushed back the feeling of loss and pain, locking those emotions deep inside his soul. A full minute passed before Naruto finally felt centered and balanced, not at pain but not completely at peace within himself.

Opening his eyes, the shinobi jumped back as his eyes found a deep set of concerned yet beautiful lavender orbs just a few inches away from his face.

"Are you okay?" Akeno asked softly, the worry in her eyes quite obvious for the jinchuriki to spot and pick up.

Right after the first period had ended, Akeno made it her mission to look for the man who beat her and everyone else, looking forward to spending more time with him and to give him the promised tour of the school.

She had nothing for the second period, it was vacant so as to give her time to study usually but it presented her with the best opportunity to help out the cutie-pie, especially when she knew that he had nothing as well since she familiarized herself with his schedule.

Some might say that it was a little creepy but in her defense, she only wanted to help him since he was so unfamiliar with not just the school but also the town itself, that was her thought process but such thoughts wouldn't help her when they'd notice the red hue in her cheeks.

Having arrived just in time to hear Issei's stupendously outrageous yet hilarious declaration.

It took everything in Akeno not to collapse and dissolve into uncontrollable fits of laughter, her lips trembling with heavy exertion to stop the giggles that wanted to come out, she managed to suppress the laugh but not her amused smile.

Her smile slowly faded as she took notice of Naruto's shaky breaths, the amusement in her eyes transitioning into a worried look as his eyes closed for what seemed like forever.

Akeno felt the urge to hug the blonde, an instinct that she didn't bother trying to quell as she crept closer to the clearly at pain blonde.

Standing right there before him, Akeno started to move her arms to wrap them around Naruto and abruptly returned them to their natural place as the shinobi finally opened his eyes.

An almost unnoticeable blush grew on her face, feeling great embarrassment at her failed attempt to physically comfort him.

Still despite her embarrassment, she truly wanted to know if he was alright or not

"Don't worry about me Akeno, I'm made of strong stuff." Naruto replied back with a small grin, the grin melting away at the frown that formed in Akeno's breath-taking visage.

"Naruto-Kun… just know that whatever it is that hurts you, you can talk to me about it." She told him quietly. Internally disappointed at his lack of confession.

"Thank you Akeno-Chan, it goes without saying but if you need someone to talk to as well, I'm here, kinda pointless to offer since you have Rias and the rest but yeah, I'm around to help." Naruto stated sheepishly.

The lingering disappointment disappeared at his words and she gave him a small smile. Grabbing his hand, Akeno giggled lightly at his confused expression. "Don't tell me you already forgot about the school tour cutie-pie."

"Not that I'm unhappy about you showing me around but don't you have class Akeno-Chan?"

"For the first semester, I have no classes on second period and that's the same case for you, now let me show you everything the school has to offer." She said while tugging him to her.

The shinobi offered no resistance and allowed her to drag him around, feeling very much like a doll played with by a five year old, incapable of resisting, just… used and played with until discarded, not that he felt that Akeno would just use and then discard him.

Being deep in thought as he was, Naruto failed to catch the livid and heartbroken expressions that adorned the faces of the male population, the feelings of ire and sorrow that originated from their souls caused by an unsuspecting shinobi.

Not Akeno though, she easily picked up on the thoughts and jealousy of the male student, a small flush on her face at the assumption made by her fellow students.

She did nothing to dissuade the male population from thinking that they were a couple.

The only thing that prevented the students from forming another riot to punish and chase the blonde out of the school, was the predatory and menacing glint found in the student council president's eyes back at the assembly.

As such, they could do naught but watch as one of the beautiful onee-sama's of the school, held hands with that annoyingly handsome blonde and took him away from the female secluded hallway.

The fear in their hearts instilled by the little sister of the Satan Leviathan, prevented them from clobbering the blonde and winning the heart of the mesmerizing Akeno Himejima.

"What are you all doing here! Go to your classes now!" Roared Tsubaki, the vice president of the student council and the right hand and queen of Sona Sitri.

That snapped the male population out of their depressed and heart-broken state, immediately they all dispersed and scattered, none willing to risk the ire of the normally stoic vice-president.

XXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Where are you taking me Akeno-Chan?" Naruto asked curiously

"Quite a few places Cutie-pie, there's the gymnasium, the cafeteria, where your other classes are at, the library, the clubs at school, the locker room and my favorite spot at the school."

"Favorite spot?"

Akeno nodded and smiled lightly at him. "You'll see, in fact that will be our first destination."

"Kuoh Academy is regarded as the finest school in all of Japan for a reason, that's one of the major reasons as to why Sona-Chan is so furious with everyone, because yesterday's debacle almost cost the school its reputation." Akeno said with a giggle

"I am completely innocent in this, I still don't understand why I had an army of nutcases chasing me out of the school, only thing I do know is that Issei was the one leading them."

"How do I say this without sounding arrogant or bratty? Hmmm…" Akeno's mind was blank, nothing came to mind in how to describe their position without coming off as conceited and shallow.

Sighing at her failure, the thunder priestess just tried her best not to give a bad impression "The only thing I can say is that everyone in school, like everyone, everyone has a lot of appreciation for both me and Rias-Chan, there is also appreciation directed at Kiba-Kun, Koneko-Chan and Asia-Chan."

"There is also Sona-Chan and the student council. But out of everyone in school, there is no one more loved than me and Rias-Chan, they love us like a lot, to the point where we most of the time stay in the ORC club just to avoid our eccentric and bizarre fanboys and fangirls."

"When you say everyone, everyone, even the teachers and staff?" Naruto asked owlishly

"Yes, me and Rias-Chan got used to it a long time ago." Akeno stated simply, attending the same academy and receiving the same daily treatment for two whole years, it numbed a person to the affection and the obsessive devotion that everybody directed at her.

It was kinda sad to get used to something like this but life was different for every soul.

"Well that's very creepy Dattebayo!" Naruto instantly cursed himself for the stupid tick mark, what a way to look unmanly.

"Dattebayo? That's so cute" Akeno gushed teasingly. Dramatically hugging the life out of him, making sure that the blonde could feel her blessed and well endowed attributes

'Mission accomplished' Akeno thought with a small lustful grin, having easily noted the pink hue gracing the shinobi's face.

"I'm not cute! I'm a man and men aren't cute, their badass." Naruto exclaimed loudly, trying not to show any outward reaction at the feel of the voluptuous woman's soft breast pressed against his chest.

The thunder priestess snorted and laughed softly at the shinobi's reaction. "I think a man can be both cute and manly, besides you didn't have any problems with me calling you cutie-pie… you don't right?" Akeno asked him while giving him the look.

Poor Naruto looked her in the eye, the perfect response in his head, just waiting to be delivered, just waiting to be said and… and all but forgotten as he peered into the quivering and moisture filled eyes of one of the the most sensual and beautiful woman he's ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Her heart-capturing features easily influencing and taking a hold of Naruto's being

"I-I… uhhh" what was he going to say to this woman? Naruto wasn't one to be at a loss of words, quite the opposite really but when faced with shaky lips, unsteady sniffles and warm tears plastered on the mesmerizing face of an angel…

It could be pardoned that Naruto forgot exactly what he had in mind. "I don't mind Akeno-Chan" No sooner did his words reach her ears, a large smile graced her face.

"You make me so happy cutie-pie, so happy that I could eat you up" Naruto instantly blushed crimson at Akeno's lewd words, yet as embarrassed as he was, he couldn't deny that he was actually enjoying the attention.

Akeno laughed at the embarrassment that this handsome young man felt, it just didn't make any sense how he reacted.

When men are so powerful, especially at a young age, they're surrounded by the company of so many women who happily flaunt their body in hopes of catching a powerful man's attention.

Because of how often the strong would be surrounded by attractive looking women with no sense of normalcy, the men would grow immune to the woman's shameless display and indecency, so much that in some cases a woman could be naked and yet the powerful would not be fazed in any way.

To see Naruto, someone whom she found out the hard way was really strong… It perplexed her as by all rights someone of such a standing of strength shouldn't be that embarrassed by her forwardness and yet he was!

It was both really cute and just so endearing.

"Come cutie-pie, I really want to show you my favorite spot in the academy."

"Is it really that good of a spot?" Naruto questioned curiously

Akeno simply smiled at him and let go of him, mentally pleased that he didn't have any problem with their long hug. "You'll see, come follow me"

She headed towards the door leading towards the staircase, the blonde right behind her and ever so curious.

Curiosity was replaced by shock and a little shameful excitement as Akeno walked on a flight of stairs, her long and thick milky thighs at eye-level with the blonde, Naruto looked away for a few seconds, mentally admonishing himself for looking at his friend in such a way.

Worse was that said friend was the one who healed him and this was how he repaid her?

Despite the internal self-directed reprimanding, Naruto looked back to admire her beautiful and meaty legs, unable to resist the bewitchingly hot woman and her shapely body.

Each time Akeno raised a lower limb and brought it down on the next stepping stone, Naruto witnessed her girthy and thick thighs jiggling enticingly, in his entire life, he's met many woman, kunoichi in particular who were blessed with beautiful forms and physiques.

The training trip with his Godfather was quite educational and Naruto laid eyes on many a woman who saw no issue with being bare before them, some of them even trying to entice him to join them in some passionate lovemaking, one in particular was blessed with large thunder thighs that led up to a really nice butt. That woman was quite audacious but audacious or not, she was hot.

Many of the woman he met were beauties, but they had nothing on Akeno, just looking at the creamy, soft and doughy thighs that this woman possessed had his mouth watering a little bit, Naruto felt his pulse quicken as he decided to take a quick upskirt peak and… whoa

Ass… a lot of it, like a lot and a lot of ass, probably just a slightly bit larger size than Rias but whereas Rias had the smaller of the two (even if just barely) her ass was somewhat more rounded than Akeno's

"Enjoying the view Cutie-Pie" her melodic voice snapped him out of his thoughts and Naruto promptly blushed as he gazed at the knowing and amused eyes of the thunder priestess.

"Sorry, I uhh didn't mean to look but I kinda did" Naruto stated sheepishly, feeling very awkward at his predicament, no doubt his pervy Godfather was laughing in his grave at this.

Akeno felt her lips curl into a delightful smile and without any impulse control, said the first that came in her mind. "I don't mind if you want to look Cutie-Pie."

"Huh? Really?" Naruto asked, shocked and stunned. Women didn't usually react like this!

"I have no problem if it's you" Akeno stated teasingly, shaking her hips just a little to draw attention to her fat rear, Naruto's eyes quickly closed in embarrassment, his face still colored crimson from both the embarrassment and the view.

"I appreciate the offer but I won't be looking at your uhhh" Naruto drawled out awkwardly, not sure how to say the word.

"My big butt." Akeno helpfully supplied, internally displeased yet amused by his shyness.

"Yes… can we please talk about something else now" Naruto pleaded, the tips of his ears starting to steam from how hot his face felt.

"I don't know Cutie-Pie, I think a lot of people including dear Issei-kun would happily enjoy the view and wouldn't want to talk about something else.

"There's a reason I'm calling him Hentai-Kun Akeno-Chan, the guy is just downright obsessed with sex, I've met many perverted people in my life, quite a few who I was close to actually but they all had restraints or other really good qualities."

"Did you know that before I saw you in the hallway, Issei proclaimed to all the girls that he will become 'Harem King' and won't allow any of them to join in the future. Who the hell does that I wonder?" Naruto asked sarcastically

Akeno let out a large bark of laughter at the memory, she tried to stop laughing but just thinking about it along with how Naruto phrased his question so sarcastically had Akeno fumbling to control her nerves.

"I hahahaha I hahaha I don't know but pfffts you have to admit it was pretty funny" Akeno said between gusts of laughter, stopping all together to grip the handrail as she wheezed at the funny memory.

Naruto tried and failed to suppress a smile as he heard her laugh, he couldn't blame her too much at the reaction as Issei's stupendous declaration would have had him laughing too if it didn't hit too close to home.

"Excuse me, I do believe that you promised to show me your favorite spot in the school, let's try our best not to laugh at Hentai-Kun's expense any longer." Naruto joked offhandedly.

Akeno nodded with tears in her eyes, she struggled to contain her laughter but was able to do so after a few seconds of exertion and focus.

"We're pretty close now, come you'll really like it Naruto-Kun" She let go of the rails and headed up with more vigor than before, Naruto walked alongside her this time, trying his utter best to restrain his inner Jiraiya and be a non-pervy shinobi.

The unusual but attractive duo made it to the top floor, standing right before an oddly ominous and large door that just omitted a sense of dread and creepiness.

That didn't stop one Akeno Himejima as she stepped forward and pushed past the now open door, Naruto followed right behind the bubbly and attractive woman.

He was grateful he followed her.

They stood on the rooftop of the school where they were afforded with a beautiful view of everything in their vicinity. as a sage even if just recently, Naruto could tell that this place right here just screamed serene and quiet.

In here one was afforded with the view of students just relaxing and hanging out and chatting with beloved friends, one could see the various trees, the ponds and the forest, a good view of the sun and how it illuminated everything.

Truly was this spot a goldmine for when someone wanted to meditate.

"I'm really glad I followed you here, this place is just beautiful" Naruto murmured softly as he walked up to her, standing alongside her as they viewed the courtyard where the students were going about their mundane day doing mundane things.

"Trust me, it's a lot better at sunset or at night, that's when this place really, really shines."

"Thank you for showing this place to me." Naruto said kindly, turning his body towards her and giving her a small Uzumaki grin.

"It was no problem at all Naruto-Kun. I enjoy coming here whenever I can, I'm enjoying it a lot more with you around though so maybe you should join me every time I come here." Akeno proposed playfully

"Well when you put it like that… How can I say no"

Akeno giggled and Naruto joined her as he chuckled at their newfound and odd friendship.

The Underworld: Lucifer's palace

If one had to use three words to describe the eyes of one Grayfia Lucifage, the first words to come to mind would be…

Freezing. Terrifying and Beautiful

Her hypnotic gaze seemed to draw one in, like a fish being caught and reeled in by the fisherman, the moment one's gaze landed on Grayfia's pair of silver pearls, they could not look away as either they were too hypnotized by her enthralling beauty.

Or were struck with fear as they noticed the sheer coldness that lay in her predatorial eyes.

Either way such attributes only helped strengthen the reputation that Grayfia built as the ice queen of Sirzech Lucifer

One would think that Grayfia would be happy with the life she lived. She was powerful, famous, filthy rich and on top of all that, she was recognized as one of the most beautiful women in all of the supernatural world.

In the eyes of most humans or devils or other supernatural beings, Grayfia had it all.

It was only natural of them to think that the queen of annihilation was a woman with a happy life.

They could not be more wrong.

Grayfia did indeed possess all that was mentioned, but what she did not possess was the love of a soulmate.

A common misconception in the supernatural world was that both Grayfia and Sirzech were married, that they fell in love in the civil war and got married afterwards once the war ended.

If only the stories were true.

The truth of the matter was that Grayfia and Sirzech had indeed fallen in love, their love was strong, it was bright and it burned with the warmth of a thousand suns, that's how it felt for the beautiful silver-haired woman.

And for some time it felt that way for Sirzech too. He loved Grayfia passionately and all was well until he met a woman named Saela,

She caught his eye when he witnessed her show compassion to a five year old fallen angel, so awe-struck by the kindness he witnessed, Sirzech couldn't help but approach her, needing to find out just who exactly was this woman?

Approach her he did and they would soon become close friends that would spend more time with one another than what was deemed appropriate and before Sirzech knew it, he was heavily in love with Saela.

Sure Saela wasn't as remotely gorgeous as Grayfia or as powerful, but her kind heart and melodious soul lulled Sirzech to her like a moth to a flame.

And as Sirzech happily found out, she too shared a warm passionate love for him as well, but she wouldn't act on that love until Sirzech put an end to his relationship to Grayfia.

A consequence of being titled as a Satan was that he was restricted to only one wife.

It effectively came down to a single choice. Grayfia or Saela

The gorgeous queen with a head of pearl colored hair, the very same who abandoned her kin to join his side in the civil war., or the woman with a heart of gold that would feed and cloth and care for a five year old fallen angel when hardly any devil would.

It was a hard choice to make, now faced with such a decision, Sirzech's heart thumped with guilt as he thought of Grayfia's sacrifice and all she had ever done for him.

Even if one ignored all that she has abandoned and renounced to be with him, how does one approach a woman who loves them and explains that you no longer want her because your heart now belongs to another?

Sirzech wasn't sure and he wasn't too enthusiastic to find out.

His feelings were understandable as he was rewarded with the most stinging slap he had ever received in his entire life.

A slap that was both physical and emotional with the emotional being extra biting as he beheld the tears that were present in her eyes. The way her shoulders shook with such sorrow and the way she barely held herself from crumbling at the pain and humiliation.

He truly hurt her and any attempt to comfort her would result in vicious and aggressive attacks meant to maim or even kill him if he dared to speak a single word of comfort or to hug her to help with the agony.

As such, Sirzech left the cold and heartbroken woman to weep on her own.

His heart heavy with guilt as her sobs grew ever so louder with each step he took away from her, fortunately his mother happened to run into him by chance and once aware of the situation, didn't waste any time rushing to comfort Grayfia.

The shame and regret that he felt in the pain he caused Grayfia caused him to seek out Saela, the same woman who would two to three years later would in secret become his wife as Sirzech married her.

Not everyone was so accepting of this relationship at first, his parents for one were against his choices from the beginning, it was only a year later that he would finally earn their approval as they slowly grew to like then love Saela as one of their own.

Grayfia on the other hand… she eventually forgave him and was even so kind as to help cover his marriage with Saela, but the coldness that greeted him whenever he stared into her alluringly silver eyes… the coldness in her eyes whenever she stared at him never faded away.

Fortunately, Grayfia didn't grow resentful as she spent more years in the Gremory estate, she came to love Rias as her little sister, came to love lady Gremory as her mother, she even grew to love Saela and Millicas as a sister and nephew.

But despite being surrounded and being part of a family, she couldn't help but yearn to have a man's love, the closest she had ever gotten to that was with Sirzech and that was more than hundred of years ago.

Grayfia just wanted to have the love of a soulmate, to have adorable children of her own to look after and care for.

Each year she went without experiencing that dream only made her feel more bitter, more detached and slowly losing the will to truly live her life.

That was the thoughts and torment of the strongest queen as she sat at her king sized bed and laid there, the sheer space in the vast bed mocking her and making her feel more alone than ever.

She contemplated the last few decades spent here and thought about everyone who she grew to care and love for.

Her thoughts went towards Sirzech and her heart grew cold as she thought of how he handed his heart to Saela, even after a hundred years she still couldn't help but wish that Sirzech was with her here, in this bed.

Grayfia felt the warm tears on her face, she tried to control her feelings but the loneliness felt the past hundred years couldn't be suppressed, it cried out to be released in some form and Grayfia wept at her loveless and marriageless life.

END.

Hey everyone, I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter, this chapter was a bit more on the shorter side but it was mostly about setting the grounds for Naruto and Akeno's friendship, setting the interaction and the attraction felt by the two of them.

It's also about introducing Grayfia, giving her a different background story and yeah.

Now in regards to the attraction between Naruto and the female characters out here, you should all know that even if there is an attraction with certain characters, it doesn't guarantee that they will end up with Naruto .

All the interactions you see and the altered backgrounds of certain characters (such as Grayfia) doesn't guarantee that Naruto might end up with them, probably they will but I'll have a poll in the future for that.

Overall I really enjoyed writing this and I do hope you all enjoyed this as well. There are more chapters uploaded on my p.a.t.r.e.o.n feel free to check it out lads. link's in the profile page

Take care lads and see you all on the next chapter.

Peace.
