Review Responses:
Rio Skyron: I would say Lilith realizes it FAR to late, because this is leading up to something.
SPark681: Naruto is steadily growing stronger.
Twinstar Dragon: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Gamelover41592: Thank you.
SilverExcel115: I have a few others that might come into the story, one of them being ALEXANDER MOTHERFUCKING ANDERSON!
Jebest4781: Thank you.
Ernestogierbolin07: Thank you.
Sniperbro1998: Thank you.
NaruLemon Stories: Lilith really does.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Yeah, how many more chapters before I get to Canon. Yep. Yeah, that is sort of my goal for how Naruto/Charlie interact with each other, just not as antagonist. Lilith is being too protective, and this is what puts a wedge between mother/daughter.
Bednarczykmiki: Thanks, I was worried Mirko would not be liked in this story.
DaftMerc39: ORANGE MAELSTROM WINS! Mirko is one of my favorite Naruto Pairings too, thank you Mad Raptor. Arlong and Zabuza being 'brothers' was my Gf's Idea, to explain WHY he hates Naruto so much. Got another set of art pieces on deviantart if you wanna see them.
MEATBICYCLE: If it is Mirko, yes, but not Lilith, he doesn't like Lilith to much. Yes, Naruto has Alucard's seal, where he can release a certain amount himself, BUT, level Zero is restricted. NarutoXMirko was my GF's Idea, and I'm glad I went with it. We shall see what caused Zabuza to die in Naruto's arms eventually.
Shin: Because of you, I went out of my way to give Arlong's Kiribachi a special and deadly ability. So, when I reveal that, remember, you inspired me. Yeah, Ninja Wire just… vanished by the time Shippuden started, only used with Sasuke using the trick shuriken.
Guest: You think so?
InfiniteNexusofChaos: I can't tell if that is genuine or sarcastic? I'll take it as positive.
Freedomringer: Hinata as Emily's assistant, like Naruto is to Charlie? Hmm, nice idea. You'll probably like Naruto and Charlie's interactions along with Naruto and Mirko's interactions.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HAZBIN HOTEL!

Chapter 5: Enough is Enough
Evening…
"One… and two… and three…" Charlie said as she danced with Naruto.
"Is this really necessary?" Naruto asked in embarrassment.
"Yes," Walter explained. "If Lady Charlie is single, her butler shall dance with her at parties. If you embarrass our princess, then people will not take her seriously. You don't want that, do you?"
"Of course not, I understand." Naruto replied, putting his all into learning.
Charlie couldn't help but smile.
'You've come such a long way since we met.' Charlie thought, remembering how Naruto was eight months prior to who he was now.
"Now, we have a party coming up, so you better get these steps down, ASAP!" Walter informed. "Pick up the pace!"
Charlie and Naruto continued to dance, Razzle and Dazzle filming it for Charlie.
For memories sake, you know.
"Wait, wait…" Naruto said, pausing mid-movement, causing Charlie to nearly fall. "You have a boyfriend, don't you? The weird freaky fish guy who was with you at the Fight Arena when you bought me?"
Charlie's expression faltered.
"Seviathan… he and I… we're still together, but it has been rocky… has been for a while, actually." Charlie said a bit sadly. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, if you have a partner, I was wondering…"
Ten Minutes Later…
"YOU WANT ME TO GO TO SOME FANCY PARTY WITH YOU!" Mirko yelled loudly enough for Walter and Charlie to hear from Naruto's phone… which was NOT on speaker phone.
"Yeah, you know… since it's my first Fancy Pantsy Party, I thought I'd take you…"
"YES, YES, A MILLION TIMES YES!" Mirko yelled in obvious excitement. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, I NEED TO GET A DRESS READY! WHEN IS THIS PARTY?"
"In…" Naruto looked at Charlie.
"Three days."
"Three days." Naruto parroted.
"I'LL BE READY!" Mirko screamed before hanging up.
"Seems like someone has a date." Walter chuckled.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Naruto said, pulling a cigarette box out of his pocket.
"HEY!" Charlie shouted, grabbing said box and incinerating it.
"CHARLIE, I JUST BOUGHT THAT!"
"YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BE SMOKING!"
"I AM THIRTEEN!"
"DOESN'T MATTER, YOU'RE WAY TO YOUNG!" Charlie shouted, grabbing Naruto's cheek.
But the fox retaliated… by grabbing her cheek.
"OW, LET GO!" Charlie whined, grabbing Naruto's other cheek.
"YOU FIRST!" Naruto spat back, pulling on Charlie's other cheek.
Walter couldn't help but laugh.
'Only eight months of knowing each other…' Walter stepped in and pulled them apart. 'And they already act like siblings.'
Walter could not help himself as he smiled.
Meanwhile…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD, NOT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!"
Kaguya's eye twitched.
'Okay, that is enough!' She thought, her hands hitting her desk as she stood up.
Marching out of her office, Kaguya made her way through her Arena and straight to Mirko's room.
"Mirko, why are you…"
Kaguya was silenced by a dress hitting her in the face.
"What the…" Kaguya said as she removed the outfit, looking at it before looking into her daughter's room.
Mirko, wearing a sports bra and boxer briefs, was shifting thrown ALL known dressers and closets, repeating 'No' or 'Not good enough' as she tossed them all over her room.
Despite belief, Mirko's room had some feminine charm, but was mostly dominated by training gear, trophies, and other such items that SCREAMED Athletic Child.
"MOMMY!" Mirko cried, latching onto her confused mother's leg. "I NEED HELLLLLLLP!"
"WHAT IS GOING ON! Explain that first…"
"I NEED DRESS!"
"Why?"
"PARTY!"
"Par… what party?" Kaguya asked, so confused on why her daughter was a blubbering mess.
"Naruto invited me to a fancy party, and I want to look good for him…" Mirko continued to cry, feeling overwhelmed.
SURE, she was only twelve, and only wanted to go to spend time with Naruto, but she was smart enough to know that a fancy party like this required elegance, grace, and cuteness.
…
…
…
I promise, she has cuteness… at least.
Kaguya's eye twitched before she pinched the bridge of her nose.
'Of course, its Naruto…' She thought in irritation. 'Even though he isn't here anymore he is STILL causing me grief.'
"Mirko…" Kaguya put her hand on her crying daughter's shoulders, her other hand wiping away her tears. "Let's go out and find the perfect dress, together… okay?"
Meanwhile…
"Of course/not, he can bring his friend along." Lucifer and Lilith said in unison.
Lilith was the one to disagree.
"Why can't he bring his friend, mom?" Charlie asked calmly, with a hidden irritation.
"Because he needs to be 'Protecting' you, not goofing off with another problem." Lilith argued, not yelling.
"I don't see the problem." Lucifer said as he leaned against the wall. "Besides, Lilith, the kid isn't Charlie's butler/guard yet, so why not allow him this JUST once?"
Lilith deadpanned as Lucifer looked at her with BIG eyes, a Rosey Cheek Smile, and a playful glow.
Lilith knew she wasn't going to win.
Either argue with Charlie/Lucifer about the fox, or spare herself a headache and a fight by just agreeing to Naruto's request to have Mirko go with them.
"He can invite his friend." Lilith replied in defeat.
Lucifer cheered, hugging his wife, giving her kisses.
Lilith blushed, a small smile on her face, but it faltered as she watched Charlie leave, pulling out her phone to call Walter, to let him know what was going on.
Lilith felt like she was… slipping.
Her daughter was slipping away from her.
Skip, Two Days, Morning…
Naruto snorted before his eyes opened due to his alarm going off.
'Man…' Naruto thought as he turned off his alarm, yawning. 'What another weird dream. First, I was a devil/ghoul… then I was a fox/devil… then a supreme golden god, but was human, and then I was a normal human bitten and turned into a hound…'
Naruto yawned again as he got out of bed.
'Weird dreams. Anyway…' Naruto scratched his head before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. 'Time to get my day started.'
Naruto used the bathroom, brushed his fur, making it nice and shiny, and then got dressed.
Breakfast.
Dishes.
Three hours of basic education.
Two hours of Wire training.
Lunch, Dishes.
Two hours of Sword training.
One hour of Magic training.
Free time.
Dinner, dishes, shower, sleep.
Naruto lay across his bed, mentally exhausted, but feeling giddy.
The next day is going to be his first party with Charlie.
'I need to make sure I am on my best behavior, no, scratch that, I need to go BEYOND!' Naruto thought before he heard his phone *PING*.
Grabbing his phone, which Charlie had bought him recently, he saw Mirko had texted him.
"So excited for tomorrow, let me know when you are going to pick me up, because I want to make sure I am prepared." ~ M
This was followed by a picture.
It was of Mirko, standing in front of a full body mirror, holding her phone, having taken a picture of herself.
She was wearing a dress.
It was deep purple, with a golden crescent moon across her chest with white straps that tied neatly around her neck, revealing it was backless.
Naruto's heart began to pound as he responded that it was lovely.
It took some courage to send a heart emoji.
Rabbit Foot Combat Arena…
Mirko blushed at Naruto's response.
She had removed her dress, having hung it up, and was currently on her bed as she looked at her phone screen.
'OH, god, oh, god, he likes it!' Mirko thought, unable to hide her smile.
Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
Something that, while new, was not something that usually happened.
Mirko didn't realize it until after Naruto left with Charlie, how much she enjoyed his company.
'Hmm…' Mirko thought as she looked up at the ceiling. 'SO weird that after twelve years of being raised together, that this happens after I lost him.'
Flashback…
Eight Months Prior…
"YOU DID WHAT!" Mirko yelled at Kaguya who was partially listening.
"Naruto was bought from me by the princess of Hell." Kaguya said, holding said money, counting it to see the profit. "Why are you so surprised? I have sold fighters bef…"
"But… But it was Naruto, mom! Why would you sell my friend!"
Kaguya rolled her eyes as she finished counting the money, putting it down.
"Mirko, Mirko, Mirko." Kaguya said as she stood up from her desk, walking around it to put her hands on her child's shoulders. "Naruto is probably happier now. Besides, as an upcoming champion, you don't need any distractions."
Flashback End…
Mirko's cheeks puffed up in irritation.
She was NOT happy with that.
She LOVED fighting, it's why she was a participant in the combat arena.
But fighting was much better when Naruto was around.
Her best friend.
Her most treasured person aside from her mother.
The one she…
Mirko's face turned a deeper red, covering her face with a pillow.
Skip, Next Evening…
"… have a good night, Mirko." Kaguya called out as Charlie's limo drove away from the Combat Arena. "Goodbye, Walter."
Walter, through the mirror, winked at the older rabbit demon as Mirko felt a bit bashful.
She was in the presence of Charlie Morningstar, THE Princess of Hell.
Yes, she had met Charlie earlier, but that was not in a professional setting, it was Naruto's birthday.
Wearing the dress she had shown Naruto the night before, with the additions of purple lipstick, purple eyeliner, and gold crescent moon earrings.
Her hair had been curled by Kaguya and then put into a half-up/half-down style.
"I'm happy you are here, Mirko." Naruto said as he looked at her.
He was wearing a suit similar to Walter, HOWEVER, instead of a black long-sleeved button up shirt, it was burnt orange. The rest of his attire was black.
"Me too…" Mirko replied, looking at Naruto's hand. 'I want to hold his hand…'
Charlie, meanwhile, smiled, finding the two children adorable.
She was wearing a lavish red, pink, and white dress with her crown was atop her head.
"Charlie," Watler said as he continued to drive. "It will take a few extra minutes, but shall I pick up Seviathan?"
Charlie's happiness took a nosedive.
"Sure…" she said in a dejected tone.
Naruto's ear twitched.
"Everything okay?" Naruto asked his master.
"Yes, I am Naruto. Just focus on having fun with Mirko tonight, okay?" Charlie said, trying to put on a happy face, but it didn't work.
"Okay…"
Naruto returned his attention to Mirko for the rest of the drive to the Von Eldritch home.
Twenty Minutes Later…
"Hey, Mirko, check this out." Naruto said as he manipulated his wires to take the shake of Walter… well, loosely resemble the vampiric butler.
Mirko giggled as the wires then took her form.
"Oh, Naruto…" Mirko playfully smacked his arm as Walter pulled into the driveway to the Von Eldritch mansion.
"Wait here, you two." Charlie said as she got out, Walter having opened the door for Charlie.
"So… this Seviathan…" Mirko cautiously asked as the two adults left to go to the door.
"He's Charlie's boyfriend." Naruto explained as he recalled his wires. "I've only seen him once. When Charlie bought me."
"Oh, I see." Mirko said as she leaned into Naruto.
Naruto blushed.
The two waited patiently.
Naruto felt some nervousness build in his stomach.
'Wish I had my sword with me…' Naruto thought.
Flashback…
"You can't bring your sword with us." Walter told Naruto as he tied Naruto's tie.
"Why not?"
"Because you have to physically carry it on your person." Walter explained as he finished with the tie. "You don't know storage magic yet, so a butler of Morningstar carrying a massive hunk of metal on a stick does not give a good impression."
Naruto pouted, crossing his arms.
"Don't pout, you look like a squash." Walter told the fox, irritating him more.
"Teach me that magic!"
Walter smirked.
"Of course, I'll add it to your regimen."
Flashback End…
Naruto smirked.
"Oh, what is that about?" Mirko asked, smiling as she could see it as something good.
"Nothing, nothing really…" Naruto said as the door opened, Seviathan and Charlie getting in the car.
"Oh… you brought the brat." Seviathan said, his face going from happy to irritated when he saw Naruto and Mirko. "And he has a friend… great."
Tick marks appeared on Naruto and Mirko's foreheads.
Seviathan's annoyance was NOT hidden.
He didn't even try to hide it.
"Yes, we are here, sir." Naruto said politely.
Seviathan rolled his eyes and moved to look outside the window, choosing to ignore the children, holding Charlie's hand.
Walter got back in the driver seat, starting the car.
"Next stop, the party." Walter said as he drove to the party.
The Party…
Seviathan and Naruto walked in with Charlie and Mirko on their arm.
'Beyond best behavior, beyond best behavior…' Naruto mentally chanted as he felt immense pressure.
The party was something he couldn't dream of.
Usually, while he was at Rabbit Foot Combat Arena, parties were the adults drinking, doing drugs, and so on while the kids who worked there would either be terrified or partying it up themselves by sneaking booze.
This… this was… far to out of his element.
Everyone was calmly talking, wearing nice clothing, and the smell was overwhelming to Naruto and Mirko, who also had similar thoughts on the party.
'I wanna smoke…' Naruto thought as his nerves bubbled in his stomach.
Mirko gripped his arm tighter.
She could feel unwanted eyes staring at her.
Some she knew were going further than JUST looking.
The two walked to the wall, grabbing some snacks along the way, and leaned against the wall.
"Some party?" Naruto joked.
"Sure is." Mirko added.
The two teens chuckled, just taking joy in each other's company.
Charlie, meanwhile, sighed.
'Good, they are at least being calm and having some fun.' She thought as she returned her focus on the conversation she was having with her father, mother, and Seviathan's parents.
Seviathan, meanwhile, had his eye twitch.
He had been following Charlie's gaze for the past few minutes, and she was constantly focusing on Naruto and Mirko.
Which irritated Seviathan to no end.
So… he started planning something.
Several minutes pass, the small orchestra that had been hired continued to play soft music, giving the ambiance a well needed relaxing feel.
"Hey, hey, Naruto." Mirko said with restrain enthusiasm, which was barely contained. "Look at what I got."
Naruto looked in Mirko's hand.
"Mirko…" Naruto said in surprise, catching himself in a near shout. "That's wine."
Indeed, inside the rabbit's hand was a cup of wine.
Mirko smiled brightly as she nodded her head.
"Yep, yep, wanna try it?"
"No, we can't. Charlie would…"
"Come on, we snuck whiskey from Zabuza several times. What's so different about this?" Mirko asked.
"Well, Zabuza… anyway…" Naruto took the cup and put it on the window sill. "We aren't doing this."
Mirko boo'd his response.
"You're no fun anymore." Mirko said, crossing her arms, looking away from Naruto, which made his fur stand on edge.
"Wha… of course I'm still fun!"
"Then drink some."
"No…"
"What was that? I think a window is open because all I hear is cold air." Mirko antagonized, putting a hand to her ear, taunting Naruto.
"We are not…"
"What? The breeze got louder."
Naruto felt like he was being forced between a rock and a hard place.
It was either put up with a pouting Mirko for the rest of the party, or drink and make her happy.
Naruto ruffled his hair a bit before releasing a defeated sigh.
"Fine, but ONE SIP!" Naruto told Mirko, who smiled in victory as Naruto grabbed the glass.
He raised it to his lips.
He made a disgusted face.
"Bitter…" he replied, the liquid burning his throat as he handed it over to Mirko.
She took a sip… and her face scrunched in disgust.
"Ew…" She whimpered, putting it on the window. "How can adults drink that…"
She stopped mid-sentence as a delicious scent wafted into her nose.
"Carrot cake." She said, drool beginning to pool in her mouth.
"Okay, okay, let's go get some." Naruto said as he made sure Mirko didn't run off.
The two crossed the room, finding a gigantic carrot cake being cut into pieces and handed to people in line.
Mirko had stars accompanying the moon around her eyes as she held her own piece.
She scooped some up with her fork and took a bite.
'Heaven~' She thought as demonic looking angels surrounded her in unholy light.
"You got to try some, Naruto." Mirko said as she held some out to the fox.
"Okay." Naruto said as he took the fork from Mirko's hand, taking the bite. "Hmmm, that is good… oh, lord, what's wrong?"
Mirko was utterly destroyed.
'I wanted my 'Say Ahh' moment.' She thought on the verge of tears.
This was a good moment to do it, but Naruto had just taken the fork instead of letting her feed him.
Naruto tried to comfort Mirko, who was shaking silently, tears threatening to pour from her eyes… until a massive plate of cake and other kinds of food splattered across the side of his face.
Food sprayed outward, hitting Mirko and getting on her dress as the rest slid down, striking Naruto's shoulder, spreading across his outfit.
"Oops."
Naruto and Mirko turned to see Seviathan, his hand defiantly extended.
"My bad, my hand slipped. I just get nervous around mutts." Seviathan said in an 'innocent, yet deadly' tone.
He garnered chuckles of amusement from the surrounding nobility, which was mostly the Ars Goetia.
Naruto and Mirko's violent urges surfaced.
The desire to fight and kill not hidden on their faces.
Seviathan smirked as the two began to walk toward him.
'That's it…'
*SMACK*
Seviathan was pulled from his thoughts as a stinging sensation spread across his cheek.
"THAT'S ENOUGH, SEVIATHAN!" Charlie basically shouted; her hand raised from slapping him.
She stepped between Seviathan and the children, and now everyone's attention was on the child of Von Eldritch and the Daughter of Lucifer.
Chapter 5, DONE!
Naruto's Dreams he mentioned are references to Ghoul of Gremory, Werefox/Kitsune of Bael, Return of the Golden Protector/Sage of Legend, and Crying for the Moon. Stories I have written if you wanna know specifically.
I had a lot of fun writing for Mirko and Naruto this chapter. SO… yeah, I am basically having Naruto be with Mirko, so, I apologize for any and all earlier statements that are misleading.
Damn, Charlie slapping Seviathan. I bet this leads to an argument. I wonder who wins.
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
