Chapter 59: Post Game
Rating Game Arena…
"Rias Gremory, her Pawn, and Riser's Knight have been retired, Riser Phenex is the victor. Game Over."
That is what Riser heard as his body continued its regeneration just before he was teleported out.
Meanwhile, the folks at home got black screens with a list of names, mostly the people who hosted the Rating Game, all of its participants, and a thank you for watching.
Naruto, Ravel, Sai, Vulcan, Danjuro, Manami, Mittelt, and Karlamine stared at the screen as Kurotama, Loona, and Onimaru looked from said screen to their owners.
"Overall…" Danjuro spoke first, clearing his throat. "I due believe this was a very entertaining Rating Game. Rias Gremory did very well for her first game. Her peerage showed exemplary skills…"
Naruto stood up suddenly, heading toward the stairs, Kurotama leaping onto his back, crawling to his shoulder.
"Naruto…" Ravel called out, about to get up, but was stopped by Manami.
"Let him have his space… he should be fine tomorrow morning after he sleeps." Manami said with concern, looking up as she heard Naruto's bedroom door open and then shut.
Naruto's Room…
Naruto crashed onto his bed, holding Kurotama in his arms, running his hand over her back as he just stared into the middle distance.
Failure pumped into his veins as he continued to think about the Rating Game.
'I didn't prepare them enough… if I hadn't left… fled… half way through their training… I could have probably helped them more.' Naruto thought as he felt an immense weight of exhaustion begin to crush him. 'I didn't help them enough…'
Naruto dosed off, and as soon as he was truly asleep, Kuroka turned into her human form, holding him in her arms, rubbing his back.
'You did well, Naruto. Shirone knows you did your best, and so do I.' Kuroka thought as she snuggled with Naruto. 'Just don't let this bother you, too much at least.'
Underworld, Hospital…
"Get them into surgery, now!"
"She is going in and out of consciousness, get…"
"His legs need to be reattached…"
"Her body is riddled with explosive burns…"
"She is suffering from electrocution and stabbing, get her into surgery now!"
"She is nearly exhausted ALL of her magic…"
Asia was laying in her bed, the only member of Rias's Peerage who retired by forfeit.
While she was only tired, the doctors insisted upon it because they didn't want to walk into her while the rest of her peerage was in the beds beside her, under surgery or lighter medical care.
Rias, Issei, and Kiba had it worse, with the former two having terrible lacerations and burns from Riser's last attack and the explosion of magic from the Destruction Dragon Shot.
Kiba was having his legs reattached, which without Phenex Tears, was taking time so they could safely reconnect the nerves.
Meanwhile, Koneko and Akeno were not as bad.
Due to their Enhanced durability, being a Queen/Rook respectively, their bodies were sturdy enough to resist damage, on top of the Fire Rat robes Naruto had given them.
All of the Gremory peerage owed their safety from these robes, which sadly, had been damaged to the point of repair or replacement.
Asia closed her eyes, biting her lip as she felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she continued to hear sounds of doctors and nurses moving around, talking, and helping Rias's Peerage and Riser's peerage members who were in the hospital.
'Why didn't I fight?' She thought, beginning to tremble.
Flashback…
Rias swung her arms in an arch, spreading her PoD in a defensive way as fire scattered like a shotgun blast.
Asia, however, avoided with Kami-e… only to have Gin grab her.
With his arm around her neck and Shinso pointed at her face, Asia didn't struggle.
"Sorry, but we can't have you healing your King anymore…" Gin said as he then pointed Shinso at Rias's back. "Retire or I'll attack. DO it, you know I will."
Asia felt an intense chill as she heard his words.
They were cold, serious, and held no deceit.
"I… I forfeit…" Asia announced, distracting Rias enough allowing Riser to punch her across the face.
Flashback End…
Tears began to pool in Asia's eyes as she felt immense self-disgust.
She wasn't a fighter, Naruto and everyone else knew this, and despite being trained in evasion from someone who KNEW this was a problem, she still failed.
Not just her King, but her Teacher, and herself.
Curling into the fetal position, Asia fell asleep, crying herself into her dreams.
Skip, Three Days…
After being discharged, the Gremory peerage returned to Kuoh.
Except for Rias.
She stayed behind to prepare for the Party the Phenex clan was holding, to celebrate Riser's victory and for his future with Rias.
Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, Asia, and Issei went to their homes, disgrace rolling off of them with ease as they all felt failure.
However, the Rook had one stop before going home.
Koneko, who had Yubashiri slung on her back in a sword case (So she wouldn't get in trouble with law enforcement with a live sword) knocked on the door of Phenex Manor.
The door opened several seconds later, revealing Danjuro.
"Oh, Koneko, nice to see you." Danjuro said with an earnest, yet subdued smile. "You here to visit Naruto?"
Koneko nodded before she walked into the Manor.
"Do you know where he is?" She asked Danjuro, who gestured to the backyard.
Following he gesture, Koneko walked out to the back, seeing Naruto throwing a frisbee to Loona, Onimaru rolling his eyes at the younger of Ravel's Familiar's acted like a common house hold dog.
"Naruto…"
Naruto turned, eyes widening.
Using Soru, Naruto closed the gap between them, tightly hugging Koneko.
"Yeah, I missed you too." Koneko said in her usual tone, a smile on her face as she hugged Naruto back.
"I haven't forgotten…" Naruto said as he pulled back.
"Forgotten what?"
"Our date."
Koneko's cheeks turned red.
She had forgotten.
"Oh, right." Koneko said a bit bashfully, separating from Naruto. "Uh… oh, right, here."
Koneko took Yubashiri off of her back, returning it to its true owner.
"I took good care of it, and the people hosting the Game made sure to clean it up for me." Koneko explained as Naruto uncovered his sword.
"Thank you…" Naruto said as he leaned over, kissing Koneko's forehead, earning a bashful smile.
"So… have you told her yet?"
It was Naruto's turn to be bashful and nervous.
"No… I haven't… but…
"Let me guess… you want both of us?"
Naruto avoided Koneko's eye contact.
Koneko rolled her eyes and patted Naruto's head.
"You are a selfish boy… you pervert."
"So says the one who…"
Koneko's hand silenced Naruto from saying anything about their first time.
"Oh, Koneko…"
Koneko and Naruto turned to see Ravel.
"Hey, Ravel."
Ravel immediately knew something was off due to Koneko casually calling her by her first name.
"Alright, you two, what happened." Ravel asked as she knelt down and fed her familiars.
"You want the truth… or a half truth?" Naruto nervously asked as he began to feel his organs twist.
"Uh, the truth?" Ravel asked with a head tilt.
"Okay…"
Naruto sat down.
Koneko followed his lead.
"He wants you to sit." Koneko pointed out, gesturing to the nearby chair.
Once Ravel sat down, Naruto put his hands together.
Ravel could see him thinking deeply on what he should say.
"So… during my time training the Gremory peerage… Koneko and I… we…"
"We had sex." Koneko proclaimed, grabbing Naruto's arm, pulling him onto her lap. "So, we are dating now."
Ravel's eyes bugged out, her face red, and steam emitting from her ears.
"I… I see…" Ravel said as her arms shook. "Well, when Naruto came back, he and I had a passionate… moment…"
"Sex?"
"No, we kissed." Naruto answered, earning an approving nod from Koneko.
"We just talked, and this one wants to be with both of us." Koneko explained quite bluntly.
She needed to be, due to the fact Naruto would mince his words or say something stupid.
Ravel twirled her thumbs, nibbling her lower lip.
"Okay… okay… I don't… I would not mind sharing…" Ravel said, doing her best to look Naruto and Koneko in the eyes. "I would like us to be in a…" her face became red at the thoughts of perverted acts and possibilities of having a Polyamorous relationship made possible. "A poly relationship…"
Naruto sighed heavily in relief.
He thought Ravel was going to throw a fi…
"However, since you had your first time with him, I want mine…" Steam continued to billow from Ravel. "Tonight…"
"We actually have a date." Koneko bit back, giving Ravel a glare. "We promised to go on one after the rating game. You can have your time with him tomorrow."
"HEY, that's not fair!" Ravel blurted out, shooting up and pointing at Naruto. "You can't hog him all to yourself! Besides, you need to prepare for your King's party this week."
"I can push that back… so can you for your first." Koneko replied.
"Can I get a word in?"
"NO!" Koneko and Ravel shouted in unison, Naruto shrinking.
Shaking his head, Naruto stood up, pulling Koneko up to stand, walked over to Ravel.
He put his arms around them, hugging both girls.
He pulled back slightly, and kissed Ravel passionately on the lips.
Ravel melted, wrapping her arms around his neck.
They separated, saliva connecting their mouths before Naruto leaned down and lip-locked with Koneko.
Koneko thrust her tongue into Naruto's mouth, caressing his face in her hand.
"Koneko…" Naruto said as he ended the kiss, Koneko wanting more, but relenting. "I believe Ravel should have her turn… before you and I go on our date. Can we push that back for tomorrow." He turned to Ravel. "You and I can go on a nice date tonight, make it special…"
Ravel's heart raced.
Heat spread across her body in tingling sensations she had only felt in her very private moments.
Koneko pouted.
"uh, Okay, I will allow this." Koneko said before giving her attention to Ravel, pulling the Phenex out of her thoughts. "IF… IF I am allowed to move in."
"What?"
"You live with Naruto, so I can't let you get ahead of me, Phenex." Koneko coldly explained as she and Ravel pulled away from Naruto. "So, I'll allow this date night for you two if I am allowed to live here too."
Ravel wanted to argue.
But…
Her inner pervert won out.
"You have a deal." Ravel said in a heavily irritated tone, sticking her hand out to Koneko.
She really didn't want Koneko moving in, but if it meant that she could get physically intimate with Naruto TONIGHT… then she would allow it.
Koneko shook her hand.
"Alright, it's a deal. Now…" Koneko reached into her pocket, pulling out two tickets. "I was going to use these tonight with Naruto, but I'll give them to you. Don't want them to go to waste."
Ravel accepted the tickets.
They were to an aquarium in the town a few miles away.
"Oh, these are… thank you, Koneko." Ravel genuinely thanked Koneko.
"No worries, Ravel." Koneko said, turning to her… their… boyfriend. "You be on your best behavior, and treat her right… because tomorrow…"
Koneko grabbed Naruto's dick through his pants, making him yelp and Ravel's cheeks go an even deeper, deeper red.
"We are going to spend time together, just us." Koneko declared.
Pulling Naruto into another kiss, Koneko dismissed herself for the day.
She had a lot of packing to do, now that she was going to be moving into the Phenex Manor.
"So… N-naru…" Ravel said nervously, pushing her fingers together. "Tonight… do you want me to wear…"
Ravel could barely get any words out.
Many sensual/perverted thoughts going through her mind.
"Ravel… I say, we go to the aquarium…" Naruto took Ravel's hand gently in his. "We just have a nice date… and then we can go from there. No need to force yourself."
Ravel smiled and nodded.
But it didn't stop her from planning something.
She needed to do some quick shopping.
"Alright, I need to go out for a bit," Ravel said as she kissed Naruto once more. "I'll be back, and around noon," it was roughly nine-thirty. "We can go on our date…"
"I'll be ready." Naruto replied.
Ravel got dressed in proper clothing, put her shoes on, and left.
Meanwhile…
"Asia… Issei… You're back." Issei's mother exclaimed as she hugged Asia, then… her son. "How was your trip?"
That was the 'reason' his parents accepted for why their son and Asia was gone for their training and the rating game.
"It was fun." Asia said with a false happiness and smile.
"I had a horrible time." Issei mumbled, walking past his mom. "I'm tired… I'm going to sleep…"
"But it's ten AM?" His mother asked as she watched him walk upstairs.
Issei didn't reply, entering his room.
He collapsed on his bed, mentally groaning.
Meanwhile…
Kiba sat in his apartment, brewing some tea as he replayed his part of the Rating game, analyzing it.
But each thought served to irritate him further.
Kiba was being his harshest critic.
Meanwhile…
Akeno showered in her shrine.
She was deep in thought as the warm water poured down her body.
She hit the wall hard enough to shake the wall, but not break it.
The sense of failure would not fade, and it angered Akeno to no end.
Meanwhile…
Koneko arrived at her apartment.
She kept her mind off the rating game by packing all of her belongings due to the fact she was moving into Phenex Manor.
It… helped.
Meanwhile, Underworld, Phenex Territory…
Rias… was indifferent and dull.
All day she had been surrounded by servants, all of them preparing all sorts of things for the party.
Currently, she was getting her measurements for the dress she was going to wear.
While everyone was smiles and happiness, Rias… wasn't.
She barely mumbled out her responses when asked her thoughts or opinion.
She barely looked anyone in the face.
She didn't eat anything.
She had four days left before the party… and it felt like torture knowing she fought her hardest, and still failed.
Meanwhile…
Ravel was rushing back home.
Her purchased items bouncing back and forth in the bag.
Excitement flooded every fiber of her body.
She was having her first date… and a little extra… today.
So, she had gotten some stuff to help… set the mood.
Blushing, Ravel arrived home, headed upstairs, and began to go through all her clothing after putting her bag in the bathroom for later that night.
Choosing a pink cardigan, a black skirt, leggings, and sneakers, Ravel undid her hair, allowing her natural curly hair to call past her shoulders.
She quickly brushed it, wanting it to look pretty and shiny.
Leaving her hair down, Ravel grabbed a purse bag, which held her phone, some money, and the aquarium tickets.
Applying some lip gloss, Ravel looked in the mirror once again, contemplated to use more make up, choosing not to, Ravel exited her room, heading to Naruto.
"Naruto, are you ready?" Ravel called as she knocked on his door.
The door opened, revealing Naruto.
He wore jean shorts, sandals, and a button up shirt.
'Is he wearing cologne?' Ravel thought as she smelled a fragrance wafting off of Naruto.
"You ready to go, Ravel?" Naruto asked, offering her his hand.
"Yes," Ravel smiled. "let's go have fun."
The duo walked out of the Manor, walking past everyone on their way out.
"Seems like someone has a Hot Date?" Sai asked in his usual tone, his smile never breaking.
"See you guys later tonight." Naruto replied as they shut the door.
"Ah," Manami swooned with her husband. "Young Love~"
Skip…
After a forty-five-minute train ride, and a ten-minute walk, Naruto and Ravel walked through the aquarium, looking at all kinds of sea life.
They walked in the underwater hallway, light shining through the water as various fish swam near the glass.
"Wow…" Ravel said as she looked at some fish that caught her eye.
Naruto, while having fun, wasn't super interested in the fish, especially the water due to the fact he couldn't swim.
His focus was mostly on Ravel and her having fun.
"Oh, Naruto, they have dolphin riding!" Ravel exclaimed in excitement, taking her boyfriend's hand, and dragging him in line so they could ride some dolphins.
Meanwhile…
"… that's why I have all my things here." Koneko finished explaining why she and all of her belongings were now outside the Phenex manor to Danjuro.
"I… see…" the Bishop of Phenex said with a face palm. "Let me help you."
"Thank you, Gentle." Koneko thanked the Bishop.
Skip…
Evening began its beautiful setting, illuminating Naruto and Ravel, having walked out of the aquarium, having spent three hours looking around, taking their time.
They held hands, walking along the street.
"So…" Naruto said to break the silence that formed. "You wanna go get something to eat? Or…"
Naruto looked over and saw the Red-Light District, blushing.
"We could rent a room…"
Ravel blushed heavily.
"I… I think that would be fun…" The Phenex Child answered. "But I left my bag of things at home, so I'll have to summon them."
"No worries…" naruto said as he reached into his pocket, grabbing his wallet. "And I'll pay for this. Don't want your parents knowing, right?"
Ravel's eyes widened, nodding.
If her parents had found out that she and Naruto were going to a love hotel, they would FREAK.
"Alright," Naruto said as he led the way. "Let's… go…"
The young, blushing couple entered the district, went to the first hotel they saw, and got the room.
No questions asked.
They entered their room… and their nerves were shot.
"I'm going to shower… and summon the bag of things I got today." Ravel told Naruto.
"Want me to join you?"
"N-No…"
Naruto chuckled, as it helped his nerves as Ravel entered the bathroom.
Naruto heard a bag appear and be placed on the sink.
'Well… I guess it is happening…' Naruto thought, swallowing his nervousness as he heard the shower turn on.
Chapter 59, DONE!
Well, I guess this was worth the three month wait.
Yeah, no excuses, I needed time to make sure this worked, and I got to involved with Crying for the Moon.
So, as an apology, next chapter: Lemon: NarutoXRavel. Any suggestions for what Ravel has in her bag would be appreciated.
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
