Yooooo

What's up my favorite group of people, hope y'all are having a wonderful day. I'm having a wonderful day myself thank you for asking.

I have just finished writing a magnificent chapter and I hope you find it enjoyable just as I have.

Now without further ado, allow me to present Chapter 9.

Start:

Dodgeball was a fun sport.

That was the conclusion that Naruto arrived at as he played the game, it was a sport that relied heavily on speed, reflexes, and good hand-eye coordination, traits that the aspiring hokage to be possessed in abundance.

All it took was observing how the game was played and he instantly understood the rules and objectives of the game.

After that it was just a matter of setting up the teams and it was decided that the first team would be compromising of Rias, Kiba, and Issei, while the second would be him, Akeno, and Koneko. Asia naturally volunteered to be the ref of the match.

Now while the shinobi easily possessed the power to utterly annihilate the other team, he wanted to enjoy this first time experience with his friends and so, he upped the level of his gravity seal by three levels which as one can imagine made the normally light on his feet shinobi not so light.

Naturally he informed everyone of this development and that caused Issei to have an unnatural glint in his eyes, a plot to embarrass the shinobi and earn the praises of the girls manifesting in his mind.

Fast forward towards near the end of this game and the blonde had passed the ball to Koneko who proceeded to hurl it with all her power towards a heavily distracted Issei.

What caused Issei to be distracted? The sight of Rias and Akeno's massive breasts jiggling wildly as they moved and jumped all over their side of the court.

Koneko instantly noted down the observation with a disgusted sneer and upon getting the ball, set out to punish the leader of the perverted trio.

That was how one Issei Hyoudou found himself letting out the unmanliest squeak as history repeated itself with a ball smashing itself on his nuts.

All parties promptly stopped what they were doing, Naruto and Kiba wincing at Issei's predicament, instinctively shielding their family jewels just in case someone had the bright idea to do the same for them.

"Issei-Kun are you alright!?" Asia ran towards the kneeling boy, missing the reprimanding look Rias gave to a smugly smirking Koneko.

From his kneeling position, Issei looked up and delivered a pained smile towards the female blonde. "Y-yeah, I-I'm alright Asia-Chan."

Off to the side, Naruto looked over the scene and felt relief and gratitude for not landing in Issei's position, that looked like it hurt… a lot.

'Well… better him than me.'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Will Issei be alright?" Naruto inquired as he entered the living room, a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a blanket in the other.

Akeno nodded. "You don't have to worry too much about him cutie-pie, he's in Asia-Chan's capable hands."

"Akeno-Chan is right Naruto-Kun, there is a reason why twilight healing is considered as one of the best sacred gears outside of the longinus, with Asia-Chan possessing it, she can heal almost any wound that comes to us." Rias added as she laid back on the couch.

"I suppose you both are right, moving on to a different topic, how come you're here Akeno-Chan? Not that I mind of course." Naruto looked at the ravenette curiously seated on Rias's left.

"Well-" "She's here because she likes invading my place even though she has a home." Rias helpfully supplied while sending a faux annoyed look towards her queen.

Said queen retaliated by sticking out her tongue towards her best friend before she turned her attention back to the shinobi. "That and because I like being around you." She revealed simply.

The shinobi smiled. "The feeling is mutual."

Rias rolled her eyes in the background. "Alright, enough wasting time… Akeno-Chan if you wouldn't mind, please put on the new 'The Super Mario bros' movie, I've been wanting to watch it for days now. And Naruto-Kun" she sweetly called out.

"Yeah?" he responded curiously.

She gave him a deadpanned look. "Stop looking so awkward standing over there and come join us."

Naruto wordlessly complied, placing the bowl and the blanket on the table before he sat at Akeno's right. "The pop-corn I can understand but why did you want me to get a blanket?"

The girls shared a look before they nodded to one another, Akeno turned back to the blonde and grasped his shoulders. "Try to relax okay, you'll really like this."

Puzzled he may have been but the jinchuriki immensely trusted the two of them, he nodded and was rewarded with a pleased smile courtesy of the elegant priestess.

Akeno gently pulled him down, shifting his torso in a way where he had to put his legs up and lay it on the couch all the while the side of his stomach rested on Akeno's lap, and before he knew it, the blonde found himself lying cheek first on Rias's incredibly soft and meaty thigh much to his bewilderment and pleasure.

"Oh… this is not what I had in mind." Naruto stated sheepishly, causing both women to giggle before Rias ruffled his hair playfully. "Well me and Akeno-Chan wanted your first experience with watching a movie to be memorable and we figured what better way than to lie on our lap."

"I still find it very surprising that you've never watched a movie, like ever." Akeno interjected, still in surprise from the reveal, offhandedly grabbing the blanket and draping it over his form.

Naruto scratched his cheek offhandedly. "Well in my defense, from where I come from, technology is nowhere near the level of what I've seen here."

"And where do you come from Naruto-Kun? Neither Akeno-Chan nor myself asked because we didn't wish to trouble you in anyway but we are very curious to know where you came from." Rias stated while gently running her fingers through the blonde's hair.

The shinobi closed his eyes and said nothing much to their worry. "I-If's it's a sensitive topic then it's okay, we don't have to talk about it." Rias quickly uttered, masking the disappointment she felt from the blonde's silent refusal.

Though Akeno shared the exact same disappointment that Rias experienced, she managed to not let it affect her as much, instead choosing to offer words of comfort so she could help sooth her blonde friend. "Well, it's not like that's the only home you have, you have a home here, with us." She declared genuinely, gently grasping the blonde's hand and giving it a comforting squeeze.

Rias nodded her fervently. "Akeno-Chan is right Naruto-Kun, this is your home as well."

Seconds passed before Naruto opened his eyes and sent a grateful smile towards both ladies. "Thanks girls, it's really kind of you both to say that, as for my home… I don't mind telling you both…" A large smile appeared on both Rias and Akeno's visage. "But it's kind of a long story and I'd much rather tell you both tomorrow."

After how much the two of them had done for him, Naruto knew without a doubt that he could trust both Rias and Akeno with his secret. All he needed was time in order to explain just how he arrived in this world and not mention his furry friend.

Did he trust them? One hundred percent yes.

But after all he had gone through because of being the Kyuubi's jinchuriki. Naruto didn't want to take the chance to see if he would be treated differently if they realized he housed a beast of mass destruction within him.

Him being a jinchuriki was a secret he wasn't willing to divulge just yet, perhaps ever.

'But is it right for me to keep that a secret from the two of them, these two have done more for me than anyone else ever has back in Konoha except for Jiraiya-Sensei and Baa-Chan and even that could be debated…' Naruto inwardly sighed as he thought of his predicament.

Fear and a healthy does of experience told him that it was better not to reveal his secret but Naruto knew that if he chose to withhold this information from them, not only would he feel guilty for hiding the truth and essentially taking advantage of their ignorance, but on top of that he knew that it would hurt them if he didn't trust them at all.

'And the last thing I'd ever want to do is hurt either of them.'

Unaware of his internal thoughts, Akeno couldn't but squeeze his hand once more, returning him back to the real world just in time to receive her soft, heartfelt smile. "Thank you for choosing to trust us Naruto-Kun, I really appreciate it, we both do." She said genuinely.

"And hey, if you find yourself unable to talk about it, don't worry, there won't be any judgment from us, just know that you can talk to us about anything." Rias added, fingers still gently running through his scalp

Just like that, all of Naruto's mental defense melted away when he sensed the sheer amount of care that laced the tones of both girls, heart filling with gratitude as he registered the words uttered from them. "Thank you girls, I will tell you both tomorrow." He vowed to them before a grin overcame his features. "But for now, let's see what this movie is all about."

Rias turned to her queen, a small grin on her face. "You heard the man, stop wasting time and play the movie Akeno-Chan."

The ravenette rolled her eyes and did as instructed. "Has anyone ever told you that you're really annoying?"

Naruto inwardly chuckled as a tick mark formed on the forehead of the woman whose lap he was currently using as a pillow.

Kitchen room.

The shinobi couldn't but moan as he sipped from the tea made courtesy of his amethyst eyed friend. "Akeno-Chan, your tea is absolutely amazing, if you could make tea this good, I can only imagine how good ramen would be if it was made by your hands." He complimented, inwardly salivating at the thought.

Filing the information that the blonde loved ramen for later use. Akeno giggled merrily as she winked at the shinobi. "Thank you for the kind words Naruto-Kun, feel free to send more compliments my way if you'd like."

Rias deadpanned as she gazed at her queen. "You need to learn how to be humble."

Akeno scoffed as she turned her gaze to her best friend seated opposite of her on the four way dining table. "I don't need to hear that from you of all people."

As much as she wanted to refute that statement, the Gremory heiress couldn't as she knew she was very much the same way. She huffed before shifting her attention to the blonde. "Moving on, Naruto-Kun… are you sure you're okay with telling us? It's easy to see that this is a difficult topic for you and as I said yesterday, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to."

"We won't judge you no matter what you decide or no matter what we hear, you can trust us." Akeno added softly.

Naruto smiled genuinely at the pair. "I know I can trust you both and thank you for being considerate… there's no easy way to say this so I'll just come out and say it…" the ladies paid deep attention to the jinchuriki, curiosity lurking in their gaze. "I'm from a different dimension."

They both blinked. "W-what?" Rias uttered, baffled by his reveal.

Naruto internally grimaced at their reaction. "I'm not from this world, where I come from, only humanity exists and everyone and everything that lives possesses chakra."

"Y-you're being serious? Like you are actually from another world?" Akeno slowly questioned.

Her question was met with a grim nod.

"That's umm… uhh yeah." Even a deranged person could tell that he had effectively stunned the ravenette, but at the very least she believed him, that was a fact he could take solace in.

It did feel a bit awkward having her stare at him disbelievingly though.

Naruto just smiled uncomfortably at the shocked queen. "It's a lot to take in, I know."

"Well…" Rias voiced out, dragging the attention of her friends to her. "That does explain a lot."

He blinked in confusion. "Explains what?"

"There were many things I found perplexing, such as how was it that someone strong enough to defeat my peerage, did not know about the supernatural world? Or how you were not used to seeing the buildings and cars and technology, like this was somehow the first time you were interacting with the modern world… At first I thought you must have come from someplace off grid but that still did not explain how you possessed chakra."

"And for the past weeks when I did have time, I did nothing but research to see if there was any other human in history who possessed chakra and I found nothing." She added, a curious glint nesting in her eyes as she gazed at the shinobi. "I wanted to confront you about it but then Riser happened and I forgot all about the matter."

Naruto smiled guiltily at the two. "I'm sorry for keeping it a secret but ending up in a entirely different world does make you cautious, I only ever revealed the truth if it was absolutely necessary, it's not even necessary with you two but I figured if there is anyone who I can trust to share this secret with then it would be you both."

Akeno who had only been listening attentively since her king had first begun explaining her suspicion, laid a gentle palm on the jinchuriki's hand. "Thank you for trusting us with this, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to be in your situation."

"Difficult it was but I was lucky enough to have met you two, you healed me when you knew nothing about my motivations, only knowing that I needed help and that's what you did." Naruto's eyes softened in gratitude as he eyed the softly smiling queen before he switched his gaze to the heiress on his right. "While you Rias-Chan were kind enough to let me in your home when I had nowhere else to go."

"Aww it was nothing Naruto-Kun, it was my pleasure to help." Rias replied back, an embarrassed yet pleased grin on her visage.

The shinobi chuckled good-heartedly. "Perhaps, but no one I know would have ever done such a thing for me, except for maybe Akeno-Chan."

"My home will always be open for you cutie-pie." Akeno genuinely declared.

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle once more as his gaze switched back and forth between the two great ladies of Kuoh. "Thank you Akeno-Chan, but that's what I mean, my stay here would have been a lot rougher if I didn't have you two in my life, so let me be perfectly clear when I say that I'm happy to have met you both."

The girls felt their insides turn into mush at the shinobi's heartfelt words. "Same here." "We're happy too." Rias and Akeno respectively proclaimed.

"Now I'm assuming that you have quite a few questions you'd like to ask me."

The girls shared a look before Rias turned to the blonde. "Quite a lot actually but there has been one thing that has been bugging me for awhile."

Naruto raised a curious eyebrow, waiting for her question.

"What have you and my brother talked about? Did you find out if it was possible for you to return back to being human? Why did it take so long for you to return back?"

"To answer your question…" he drawled out dramatically. "It is possible but will take quite some time, the reason it took so long was because Ajuka… Did I say his name right? Anyway, he'd been conducting tests on me for at least two hours to see if I could survive the process."

"And does he along with Sirzech-Sama know about your… situation?" Akeno carefully asked him.

Naruto nodded. "They're aware, Sirzech instantly knew that I possessed chakra and I ended up explaining my situation to him after we conversed. As for how Ajuka found out, I decided to tell him so he'd be aware of how my body was different in comparison to everyone else."

Despite her greatest efforts, a small, almost unnoticeable frown managed to sneak its way past Rias's lips as she comprehended the knowledge. "So you will be turning back into a human."

The shinobi closed his eyes briefly in relief. "Yeah, I should be meeting up with Ajuka in five days from now so I can finally reverse the entire process."

Rias sighed morosely. "I won't lie to you Naruto-Kun, there's a large part of me that hopes you would reconsider your decision, but regardless of what you decide, I do plan on supporting you all the way no matter the choice."

"Thank you Rias-Chan and if it's any consolation to you, if I ever do decide that I do want to become a devil, you'll be the one whom I'll be reaching out to." He replied back cheerily, causing the frown to fade away from the visage of the now giggling red-head.

"If you don't mind me asking Naruto-Kun…" Akeno suddenly uttered, curiosity present in her tone as she eyed the blonde. "How exactly did you arrive here? And why were you in such a bad shape when I first saw you."

Naruto pursed his lip in confusion. "I honestly don't know, all I do know was that I was returning back to my home after I had just gotten out of a tough battle and then from out of nowhere, a circle portal just formed right underneath me and after that… I was just… falling from the sky." He raised his hands in confusion, finding himself just as, if not even more puzzled than the demure priestess.

"As for me being in a bad shape, that was from the battle I was just telling you about." He added.

Akeno looked down worriedly. "The way you arrived here… it's concerning… sounds to me like someone went out of their way to bring you here."

He sighed tiredly and nodded. "That was what Sirzech theorized."

"What we need is a plan." Rias interjected.

Naruto blinked and opened his mouth to reply only to close it as Akeno made her opinion known. "I'm with you there Rias-Chan, our first priority should be finding out who would possess such an ability."

The Gremory heiress nodded, in clear agreement with her best friend. "It will take me some time but I should be able to co-" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you two doing?" Naruto interrupted them, gaze switching back and forth between the confused women.

"We're planning how to deal with this potential enemy." Akeno stated, bewildered by the blonde's reaction.

Naruto shook his head disapprovingly. "Yeah sorry but no, I don't want you two involved in this."

"And why the hell not!?" Rias exclaimed, standing up and glaring at the shinobi.

Akeno mirrored her king's feelings as she scowled angrily at him. "Yes please tell us why you don't want us to help."

"Because whoever this is, is clearly someone very powerful, how powerful I do not know but considering that even Sirzech was worried and he sure as hell (My bad about the pun, it was honestly unintentional.) knows more about the world than I do, I have good reason for not wanting you two to be involved at all." Naruto retorted.

Akeno bit her lips in anger. "So you just expect us to do nothing as someone potentially hunts you down."

Naruto sighed, inwardly touched by their concern. "Akeno-Chan, Rias-Chan, I don't want you involved because I care about you both… A lot, I do not want you guys to be involved because I don't want anything bad to happen to either of you."

His words had a positive effect as the anger and tension lessened considerably from both girls. Rias huffed and sat down, still displeased by the matter. "Please at least tell me that my brother is helping you with this."

"He is, I'm not dealing with this situation alone." He affirmed.

Rias sighed before nodding. "Alright, I suppose that's acceptable at the very least… Now is there anything else that we need to know of? Now would be a good time to confess anything unpleasant." She crossed her arms, staring at him expectantly.

Naruto grimaced, a reaction that drew a frown out of both women. "What aren't you telling us?" Akeno demanded, bestowing him with a frosty glare.

"Well… if you really must know…" he drawled out lamely, almost cringing at the emotionless stare given to him by both women. "I'm uhh… I'm leaving in six days."

Silence encompassed the room after Naruto revealed that tidbit of information, for ten straight seconds he just set his attention on the table, unable to meet their gaze. From the corner of his eye he noticed Rias stand up and he raised his head only to watch as she quietly walked out of the kitchen.

He sighed before turning towards the only other occupant of the room. "It's not that I don't want to be around you guys, but I just have to search for a way back home, I can't just stay here."

Akeno exhaled tiredly. "Naruto-Kun, there is no need to explain, I understand why you wish to leave and trust me when I say that Rias does too, it's just that she can't help but be upset because you've done a lot for us since we first met you a month ago, hell I'm very upset and you haven't saved me from a fate of forced marriage… She feels what she feels because she doesn't want you out of her life, and neither do I for that matter."

Naruto chewed on the inside of his lips. "I understand and I am honestly happy that you guys feel that way about me, just makes me more aware of how lucky I am to have met you both y'know."

"You can be really sweet sometimes." Akeno remarked kindly, a sad smile tugging at her lips. She stood up and laid a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about Rias-Chan, she just needs some time is all, just give her a few days to be on her own."

He nodded before standing and enveloping the surprised women in a hug. "Thank you for… y'know… being here when things are awkward and stuff."

"Of course, I'll always be there for you whenever you need me, always." She whispered into his ear, head sinking into his chest and listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart.

After how he saved her sister in everything but blood and sacrificed his humanity to do so, something he deeply treasured, Akeno would be damned if she didn't do right by him.

She pulled back to stare at his eyes. "If you find it too awkward or need a place until Rias cools down, just let me know and you can stay with me till then, don't be embarrassed to ask."

"I'll keep that offer in mind, thank you Akeno-Chan."

She nodded, embracing him in another hug and kissing his cheek lightly before walking out and leaving the shinobi to stew in silence.

'Gotta love the awkward atmosphere.' Naruto shook his head tiredly, exhaustion mingling with guilt over not telling them about his jinchuriki status, as much as he wanted to tell them, he just couldn't, there was simply no telling of how'd they'd react if they knew about his… burden.

Better to take the secret to his grave than to reveal about his furry friend.

He sighed. 'When did I become such a coward?'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Time-Skip: Three days later

"Rias-Chan?" Naruto unsurely called out, hesitantly knocking on her door. "Can I come in? Please… I just want to talk."

He waited patiently in the hallway, determined to confront after her three agonizing days of pure silence and tension.

Silence seemed to be her response to his question. He sighed internally before he raised his hand to knock once more only to drop it as the sound of the doorknob being twisted reached his ears.

The door opened and lo and behold, Rias stood before him, arms crossed as she gazed at the shinobi evenly.

One normally couldn't pull off such an otherworldly look when dressed in a simple black tank-top and casual gray sweatpants but the Gremory heiress managed it quite easily as she raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "Can I help you?"

Naruto groaned. "What do you want me to do Rias? Decide to change my mind and stay here rather than to search for answers on how to return back to my world? I have a life back there."

Despite her efforts, Rias ended up losing her composure as she gritted her teeth angrily. "You have a life here."

He exhaled tiredly. "And if I'm being truthful with myself, I'm loving this one a lot more than I did the one back in Konoha." He admitted.

Not an easy thing to come to terms with but it was something he had to learn to acknowledge before he would confront his red-headed friend.

All forms of anger that lingered within Rias promptly faded away from existence at his admission, she took a step forward and raised her hands to gently cup his cheeks. "Then why don't you stay here Naruto-Kun?" Rias asked him softly.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to but I can't… I have a few promises to fulfill." He answered her, heart clenching at the despondent look that marred her visage. "I'm sorry Rias-Chan but you of all people know very well that I never go back on my word."

She sighed sullenly. "I am aware, it's a quality that I really admire about you."

"If it helps my case, it's not like I don't plan on ever coming back to see you all again, the opposite actually." He stated with a small grin.

Rias couldn't help but giggle, she dropped her hands from his face and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Sorry for being so bitchy the past few days."

"It's alright, that just tells me that you really care which I'm happy about." He happily returned her hug.

A sudden recollection of past events flashed in mind and Naruto couldn't help but scowl. "I could have gone away from all the smug looks that all the guys back in the academy were giving me though, smug pieces of shit." Even a dummy could tell just how utterly exasperated the shinobi was as annoyance dripped from his tone.

"Pfftt."

Naruto blinked before his eyes narrowed sharply. "Did you just… laugh at me?"

That was evidently the wrong to say because Rias ended up guffawing, body shaking from mirth as she knew exactly what the blonde was talking. "Hahahaha hahhehhaehha y-you have to a-admit hahahehe T-t-that w-was hehahaeh pret-ty hahaha funny."

With her face currently buried in his neck, Rias missed Naruto giving her the stink-eye as he shook his head in disapproval. "No it wasn't and I just decided that these cocky and pathetic pieces of shit will be pranked… hard, I mean even Issei, the guy I call Hentai-Kun, even he had more class than those guys."

Though honestly speaking, such a revelation didn't surprise him much as Issei was a good person despite his brash and perverted exterior. He didn't see it in the first two weeks of knowing him but the guy was actually a lot more like his Godfather than he initially gave him credit for.

Perverted, heart of gold, genuine, those were just a few of the characteristics that Issei and his Godfather had in common.

The sound of laughing still continued to ring in his ears even after roughly another ten seconds had passed, Naruto pulled back slightly just so that the heiress could see his deadpanned features as he eyed her annoyedly.

It was with great hopes that once she got a good look at how exasperated he was with her that she would stop laughing at him. That was the plan.

Unfortunately, it did not work.

Rias continued to giggle and despite it being at his expense, Naruto couldn't help but join in and chuckle good-heartedly.

Roughly another ten seconds passed before they finally managed to stop. "I hope you understand that you're an ass for laughing at me." Naruto stated in an amused tone.

A lewd smile stretched across Rias's visage as she pinned him with a fluttering, half-lidded gaze. "A thick ass as you can attest to yourself."

Naruto blushed and Rias couldn't help but giggle once more. "You can look or even touch my butt if you want, I don't mind."

He blinked in shock. "R-really."

"Mhmm." She hummed in agreement.

Naruto gulped, the pink hue on his cheeks darkening by a couple of shades at her amused and… wanting look? "I'll uhh… I'll keep that in mind."

"Good." She smiled satisfactorily before she whirled around and headed inside her room, wide hips swaying sensuously and jiggling an incredibly hefty amount of meat.

Normally the blonde would have much more self-control but considering what he had just heard from the devil herself, one couldn't blame the blonde shinobi too much for letting his eyes land on Rias's giant butt.

Jiraiya would have relentlessly teased his Godson had he been here to witness it, as it was, there was simply no one other than the she-devil herself who was capable of snapping the blonde back to reality.

Naruto continued to drink in the sight of such a gloriously fine rear, mouth hung wide open as he took note of how the sweatpants were easily stretched to the limit from containing such enormous globes of assmeat.

So lost in his admiration, he failed to notice the immensely pleased look that graced Rias's eyes as she gazed back and caught sight of his expression. "Aren't you gonna come inside Naruto-Kun?"

"H-huh?" Naruto inquired, confused and feeling flushed all at once.

She giggled. "We're going to be watching some anime you dummy."

"Oh." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Let's watch one punch man then."

End.

Yo, hope you all enjoyed the chapter, this one was just about taking it easy, in the next one, our favorite shinobi will finally be human once more, pretty exciting news if you ask me.

The chapter after that will finally kickoff the start of Naruto's journey in the supernatural world beyond just the devils and let's not forget that, that will be the start of Naruto and Grayfia's adventure together. That's also some pretty exciting news if you ask me.

Unfortunately Naruto won't be visiting the youkai quite yet but I'll make up for the disappointment by making some wonderful new arcs.

Chapter 10, 11, and 12 are posted on my p.a.t.r.e.o.n Here's the link lads
