Chapter 17: Greeting Death with a Smile
M&M's House…
"What is taking him so long?" Millie asked in confusion, hand on her hip as she scratched her head.
"I don't know, but we are going to be…"
Moxxie was interrupted when he was hit with a file, bouncing off his head before splattering its papers on the ground.
Moxxie and Millie recognized the file, a massive pit like feeling boring into their stomachs as they looked toward the door to the house to see Naruto.
In his hand was Millie's axe, and on his face was a pained, restrained expression, as if he was fighting with all his might to not explode.
"Naruto, we can…"
"Why?"
"What?"
"Why!" Naruto repeated, his face creeping into a snarl before returning to its restraint. "WHY…" *Deep breathe* "Why do you have that!"
He pointed at the file.
"WHY WERE YOU SPYING ON ME!" Naruto shouted, his eyes watering and throat starting to become dry and scratchy.
"Okay, take a deep breath and calm down." Moxxie said as he held his hands out, showing he had no intention to hide anything now that their secret had been found.
Moxxie was pulled back by Millie as her axe embedded itself where Moxxie had been standing, having been thrown by Naruto.
His body was tense, muscles ready to act or react in anyway.
"What the hell…" Millie shouted at her son.
"SHUT UP AND ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" Naruto shouted, unable to keep himself restrained anymore. "WAS… WAS THIS JUST A GAME! DID YOU TWO AND LOONA PLAN THIS! WAS ALL OF THIS JUST A WAY TO MANIPULATE ME!"
"No, it wasn't…"
"THEN WHY IS THERE A FILE ON ME, FROM MY BIRTH TO NOW!" Naruto demanded from his parents, stomping up and grabbing Moxxie by the shirt, lifting him up. "WHY SPY ON ME!"
"WE WEREN'T SPYING!" Moxxie shouted in a panic, not wanting to hurt his son or get violent in general.
"DON'T LIE TO ME, YOU BASTARD!" Naruto shouted as he shook Moxxie, only to gag when Millie jumped onto his back, wrapping her arm around his throat and pulling him backward.
Naruto released Moxxie, moving in a circular motion as he tried to throw Millie off of him.
"CALM DOWN!" Millie tearfully shouted at her son, desperately hoping he would listen.
"N-NO!" Naruto replied angrily as he grabbed Millie's arms to try to break her grip as he started to feel lightheaded from the lack of oxygen due to Millie's choke hold.
Nearing the point of passing out, Naruto collapsed, Millie releasing her hold on him, allowing him to breathe again.
"We…" Millie stated angrily, but clearly. "We will talk about this when we get back from work…"
Naruto glared at Millie, getting up and re-entering the house without a single word.
"I knew we should have burned it." Millie said on the verge of tears as she picked up the file.
"No, it's my fault…" Moxxie admitted as he picked up Millie's axe. "I insisted we keep it, so the blame rests with me."
The two Imps left, mentally praying for the best as they left their son alone.
Naruto was furious as he made his way to his room.
'They tricked me.' He angrily thought as he stomped up the stairs. 'I thought they were different. Yeah, they killed humans for a living, yes, they are demons, yes, they are doing what they need to survive, but to play games with my emotions… kicking my heart in its dick!'
Tunnel visioned, he entered his room and grabbed his phone, his headphones, his wallet, a bag and filled it with clothing before he returned to the door.
Holding the handle angrily, Naruto released it and grabbed a pen and piece of paper.
He wrote a hasty note and grabbed a piece of tape.
Putting his note on the door, Naruto locked it.
He left, leaving the majority of his belongings.
He left, and wandered aimlessly, having never left the house during his time awake.
Naruto had no idea where he was going, just walking, kicking over a trashcan at one point.
(The Guess Who: Laughing)
"~I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize but I was waiting~"
His anger stemmed, no longer boiling in his blood, but aggression stayed strong as he wandered, passing by citizens of Hell.
He thought of Millie, Moxxie, and Loona, their faces twisted in dark grins, laughing at his agony.
"~Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing~"
Hours passed, Naruto constantly feeding his anger as he thought about the memories that he made with the three who hurt him.
Millie's cooking and following smile when he ate her food.
Moxxie as they played games together when there was time, dueling especially.
Loona with the intimacy they shared while in the human world.
"~'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me~"
Naruto stopped at a traffic light, the red light of the sky and sun being very jarring for his sense of sight because he had barely left the house.
A memory of Loona leading Naruto by the hand, followed by Millie leading him through the house on the tour of said house when he woke up, and then bonding with Moxxie over goofy things.
He snarled as the light changed and Naruto walked across the street.
Naruto pulled his headband down more, shadowing his eyes as he felt emotional, his anger slowly turning into anguish and he didn't want anyone seeing his tears.
"~I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing~"
Images of Blitz enjoying his pain caused Naruto to snarl, the sound coming from his throat being a snarl.
"~Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing~"
'What could have been my future?' Naruto thought, thinking of a potential future if he was still human, living with Loona.
He and Loona moving out from the orphanage, moving into a nearby apartment.
They would be working at the orphanage still, but having their own home, away from the children.
Sure, there would be arguments and compromises, but they would have been happy.
They could have started a family.
"~'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) oh, whatch doing to me?
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me, oh~"
A vision of Naruto and Loona being older, with several children, who have their own children made Naruto's heart beat irregularly as he desired such a future.
But it was out of reach.
It was impossible.
He was a monster, and he could no longer have peace.
"~ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
(Laughing) ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
(Laughing) what you laughing at me?
(Laughing) what you laughing at me?
oh, what you do on the weekend?
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing
(Laughing)~"
What Naruto wanted was gone, unachievable.
His peace, his emotional support pillar, Loona, had lied, manipulated, and hurt him. She was the cause of him being brought to Hell, and she is the core of his pain.
His Light Posts of Guidance, Millie and Moxxie, tricked, lied, and above all, made him feel loved from a parental figure, which he had been denied twice, now thrice, in his life. They were not the core of his hurt, but they served as energy fueled by Loona's actions.
Naruto wandered Pentagram City in the Ring of Pride, keeping to himself, talking to no one.
Evening…
"You sure this is a good idea?" Loona asked as she, Millie, Moxxie, and Blitz drove to the house.
"Yeah, Naruto might get mad, but with you there, he might be able to be convinced to listen to us." Moxxie replied as Blitz ran a red light.
Millie stayed quiet, biting her quivering lip.
"Buck up, Mills," Blitz stated as he made a sharp turn. "We are almost there."
Millie made no visible move to show she heard Blitz, her mind set on the look of betrayal Naruto had.
It was the second time she saw it.
The first was when he woke up and was informed of what happened.
The second, was this morning when Naruto found the file.
'Please, Naruto. Please let us explain there was no malice intent with that file.' Millie prayed to Lucifer, because God would not listen to the prayer of a hellborn. 'Please, my Fishcake, I don't want to lose you.'
The group arrived, the house having no lights turned on.
'Probably in his room.' Moxxie thought, silently hoping nothing bad happened.
Millie leaped out of the car, followed by Loona, who was nervous about seeing Naruto again as she moved slowly to the door while Moxxie and Blitz got out of the car.
'I hope I can be of some…'
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Loona was pulled from her thoughts at Millie's scream of anguish.
She was on her knees at the door, which was still closed.
"Millie!" Moxxie shouted as he bolted to his wife, pushing Loona out of the way. "Millie, what's wrong?"
"HE'S GONE!"
Millie wailed as she dropped the note, crying like a wounded animal as she further collapsed into Loona's arms.
Moxxie picked up the note, his body tightening in anger as he grits his teeth in an angered scowl, tears edging in his eyes.
I'm not going to play House,
Stay out of my life,
Don't look for me,
Just die in a ditch after fucking with another person's life!
- Naruto
'You ungrateful asshole!' Moxxie thought as he knelt down and hugged Millie, who cried into his shoulder. 'I don't care if you hurt me, but Millie has done nothing wrong for this!'
'Naruto…' Loona thought as she tried to catch his scent, but it had been to long, as she could not catch a whiff of his scent anywhere. 'What have you done?'
Blitz stood in silence, not enjoying himself, but not caring at all about Naruto's disappearance.
Evening…
Dusk started to close the day, Naruto walked in relative silence and was alone.
The turmoil of emotions he was feeling turned dark, a sense of loss being so strong, the feeling of hopelessness.
'I am probably destined to be alone.' Naruto thought as he grabbed a jacket, the temperature dropping as the sun edged closer to setting.
Putting on his jacket and pulling the hood up, covering his ears and hair as he walked in the darkness.
Lamp posts lit up, allowing Naruto to see.
'What the…' Naruto thought as he approached a street corner, seeing what he thought was a phone booth. 'A Suicide Booth? What is this, Futurama?'
He looked at the door, the words 'Suicide Booth' above it.
'I guess I should just end it, that way I can just get out of this misery.' Naruto thought as he entered the booth.
The door closed behind him as the display lit up.
'Okay, so… Quick and Painless.' Naruto thought as he read the options. 'Long and Torturous. Quick and Torturous. Long and Painless. Strangulation. Shocks. Genital Dismemberment. Dismemberment. Horror Style. The Krueger. The Voorhees. The Myers. Chainsaw of Texas. Chest Burster. The Dancing Clown? Cenobites Pleasure? Wanna Play a Game? Bateman Axe Dance? Bate's Peephole? Man of Wicker? What the fuck, are these movie references?'
Confused at what he was reading, Naruto decided the simplest route.
Quick and Painless.
'Okay…' Naruto thought as the display showed how much he needed to pay, causing him to pull out his wallet. 'I hope human world money works…'
The booth got hit from the outside, causing Naruto to nearly piss himself as he dropped his wallet, its contents falling out.
"HURRY THE FUCK UP!" the person from the outside shouted angrily and desperately. "THERE ARE OTHERS WHO WANT TO DIE BEFORE THE PURGE, SO FURRY THE FUCK UP, YOU DICKLESS-PIECE OF FUNGUS SHIT!"
"FUCK YOU, COCK-LIPS, I AM HURRYING!" Naruto shouted as he hit the wall back.
Huffing, Naruto knelt down and picked up his money and wallet.
'Hm?'
Naruto saw a familiar piece of paper in his wallet.
Pulling it out, Naruto made a recognition face.
'Oh, right, its that business card that guy at the Mayday concert gave me.' Naruto thought as he pulled out the Dry Fuck Studios business card.
"Hm, wish I could have seen them again." Naruto mumbled as he went to put it away.
It was the plan… if the card didn't start to etch a magic circle.
"Wait, what is…"
"HURRY UP!" the person on the outside shouted, banging on the door more as the light from the magic circle got brighter.
Outside the booth, the line of demons saw the light through the cracks in the booth door.
"What option did he pick?" One of them asked as they heard Naruto's scream before it went silent.
The door opened, steam sizzling from the metal.
"Wow, I want what he has. There is nothing left." The next guy said as he entered, picking his suicide option as the door closed.
His screams of death were followed shortly after.
Five Minutes Prior, Dry Fuck Studios…
"Damn it, Verosika, why did you trash my baby!" Coco screamed as Verosika got out of her normal car, the hood missing completely with the tires blown out.
"Some asshole tried to cut me off, so we had a race." Verosika said as she pulled out her flask and drank from it. "I destroyed him, of course."
"But did you have to destroy the car?" Coco cried out as she started to work on refixing her damaged 'Baby'.
Drinking more, Verosika left the garage area of DFS, heading up to the upper floors via the Elevator.
"Welcome back, fucks." Verosika said as she reunited with Ace, Josh, Milky, and Kat. "Where is Apple and Kiki?"
"They left an hour ago, needed 'A break from all of this'." Kat replied to his boss from a Pinball machine, trying to beat his high score. "Should be back in a few days, Boss."
"Damn, I was planning on going to the human world for another tour." Verosika grumbled.
The group shuddered in fear.
"Ah, well, its just a few days." Verosika said as she sauntered back into the elevator. "I'll call it a night."
The door closed, Ace, Josh, Milky, and Kat sighing in relief.
"I thought she would go ape shit." Josh said as he cracked open a beer.
"She has been chill for a while, I am concerned." Milky said as she sat down, fanning herself as she needed to calm down.
"You think it has to do with that kid from the last concert?" Ace asked before a magic circle appeared between the sex demons.
The light was bright, making all of them cover their eyes before it died.
"Jesus, fuck…" Naruto coughed as he tried to get his bearings straight. "What the fuck happened…"
"Who are you!"
Naruto put his hands up when he realized he was surrounded by demons he didn't know.
"What are you doing!"
"How'd you get in here!"
"Someone call Tex!"
"Where am I?" Naruto asked as he had a gun pointed at his face.
"Wait…" Milky said as she put her hand under the gun and pushed it upward, out of Naruto's face.
She got close to Naruto, cupping her chin as she looked at him.
"You… aren't you that kid who won the raffle?" Milky asked curiously, having taken the picture of Naruto and Verosika, thus she recognized the headband and hair.
"What raffle?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"The one we held when we performed at the Ice Arena, you won, didn't you?" Milky asked as she was informed by Vortex that Naruto was a hellhound. "Tex said he gave you a business card to bring you here when you wanted to visit."
"Huh?" Naruto asked in utter confusion. "I… I did go to a concert…"
"Hold on." Milky said as she pulled out her phone as Josh hung up his phone, having called Vortex. "Is this you?"
She held out her phone and showed Naruto the picture.
It was of him and Verosika in the human world.
"Wait… how…" Naruto sputtered.
"You did use a Human Disguise like us, didn't you?" Ace asked as the situation was getting concerning.
"Human what?"
"Then how did you get to the Human world? If you don't have a disguise then you'd be causing trouble for Hell." Milky explained in confusion.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!"
The group and Naruto jumped as Verosika stormed out of the elevator.
"I CAN'T ENJOY MY BUZZ WITH ALL OF…" Verosika blinked. "Who the fuck are you?"
"N-Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto answered as he was in awe of Verosika's beauty.
"NARUTO!" Verosika said in happiness.
Naruto was jumped, his face in Verosika's breasts.
"I missed you, I thought you'd never drop by." She squealed as she smothered him. "Come on, we have so much to talk about."
"Stop it!" Naruto shouted as he pulled away from Verosika. "Just what is going on? Why are you… what is going on."
"What are you talking about?" Verosika asked in confusion as the door opened up, revealing Vortex and Jayjay.
"I am asking how a traveling band is here… but…" Naruto was emotionally exhausted with all this excitement.
"Hold on, Verosika."
"Tex…"
Vortex held up his hand, silencing Verosika, much to her irritation as Vortex slowly walked up to the Lycan-Turned male.
"You're Naruto, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, Naruto, you are something that is called a Lycan-Turned, but you already knew that."
"Imma what?"
Vortex blinked, glancing at Jayjay who looked shocked.
"You… you don't know anything?" She asked Naruto, who looked at her.
"What am I supposed to know?" Naruto asked in desperate confusion. "Just tell me… I am so fucking confused…"
"Okay, okay…" Vortex said as he closed the distance and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, Jayjay walking up to him.
"Come with us, we will explain as much as we can." Jayjay told Naruto.
Not fighting it, Naruto walked with Vortex and Jayjay, leaving the Succubi alone.
"Damn…" Verosika growled in anger. "I wanted some dick…"
"If he is a Lycan-Turned, he should know about what is happening, right, Boss?" Milky asked as she knew a little about the Lycan Tribe.
Verosika nodded.
"Well, at least we know he is in good hands." Ace said with a chuckle.
Verosika stormed up to her room, opting to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Vortex's Room…
"Here…" Jayjay said as she offered some tea to Naruto, who took it, shaking. "It will help settle your nerves."
Naruto hesitated to drink it, but did.
Its warmth washed over him, and the more he drank, the calmer he felt.
"It is good, thank you." Naruto thanked as he finished.
"No problem, Naruto." Jayjay said with a calm smile.
"You know my name, but I don't know yours." Naruto pointed out, feeling strange with that fact.
"Where are my manners, I am Jayjay." Jayjay introduced with a playful smile.
"I am Vortex, but you can call me Tex, all my friends do." Vortex said with a soft smile.
"Nice to meet you, Jayjay, Tex." Naruto said as he felt much more calm after everything. "But I am confused."
"Naruto, how much do you know?" Vortex asked the young hellhound.
"I don't know if I truly know anything." Naruto answered tiredly. "Just that…"
His eyes looked at the ground.
"I know that someone I trusted turned me into this… and a few other things, but they aren't connected to this person or what they did to me."
"Well, I guess we will start at the beginning." Vortex said as he sat down across from Naruto with Jayjay sitting next to her man. "It all started with the head of the Lycanthrope Clan, Marchosias."
Naruto's ears perked up.
"Marchosias… from the Lesser Key of Solomon? Isn't he in the hierarchy of Hell?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Yes, but there is more." Jayjay said, taking over as she had more knowledge on the Lycanthrope. "Marchosias was a powerful Great Marquis of Hell, commanding thirty legions of demons. He was a strong, an excellent fighter, was very reliable as he gave true answers to all questions. He was a member of the Marquises. Lucifer trusted him, but then, Lucifer banished him when Marchosias was promised entry into Heaven after 1200 years of being in Hell. He and his followers were ashamed, and then they had families, renaming themselves the Lycanthropes."
"Werewolves…"
"Yes…" Jayjay said as Naruto gripped his hands. "This tribe caused trouble, Marchosias was angry, and took it out on humans, desiring an army to attack Hell in retribution for his banishment and to try to get into Heaven."
"I guess it didn't work." Naruto mumbled.
"No, it didn't, Marchosias turned quite a few humans himself, making very powerful allies, but it wasn't enough against Lucifer, who slaughtered all who followed him, even the Lycan-Turned who had nothing to do." Jayjay said as she shook slightly, shaking herself out of it. "Those who survived made rules, strict rules."
"Like what?" Naruto asked, feeling like he would hate what he heard.
"No more reckless attacks or turning of humans." Jayjay mentioned calmly. "If you turn a human, you take care of them. To ignore this rule was a death sentence. Any Lycan-Turned who refused to come with them ran rampant and were killed by humans and servants of God."
Naruto sat in silence.
'Is that why Loona stayed with me?' He thought as he gripped his shoulder. 'She didn't love me, she stayed because she didn't want to die.'
There was an uncomfortable silence between the three hounds.
"Why do you know all of this?" Naruto asked after several minutes, his voice sounding strained.
Jayjay smiled sadly.
She sat up and lifted up her shirt, revealing her bra, which she pulled the cup off.
Naruto covered his eyes.
"What are you doing?" He asked in embarrassment.
"It's okay, just look." Vortex told Naruto, not liking it, but knowing it was necessary.
Naruto cracked his fingers open, eye glancing at Jayjay's breast.
His hand fell as his mouth opened agape; eyes wide in shock.
On Jayjay's breast, which was shown without hiding anything, was a dark blue bite mark, similar to the one on Naruto's shoulder, which was black.
"I know because…" Jayjay said in embarrassment of letting another man look at her breast, which she covered herself now that the need to display was over. "I am also a Lycan-turned, and like you, I have a story…"
Chapter 17, DONE!
I'M BACK! I BEAT COVID!
Marchosias is a real demon, from the same work as Stolas. So, I don't know if Vivziepop will use him, I hope she doesn't because it will be embarrassing if she does and I will have another thing to work around.
Just so you guys know, I didn't initially think of the Marchosias connection until now, but I hope it works since I never hinted at it before now, but it makes sense to how the Lycanthrope clan was created from a betrayer of God, who followed Lucifer, before trying to get into Heaven is a compelling story in my eyes. He sets out for redemption, but it is a lie from Heaven in the story of Marchosias.
Besides that, I hope you guys liked this chapter, I did have a hard time deciding on what to do, so I went with my gut and what I thought worked with Naruto, whom I have written to be a restrained individual, and how I react in situations like this.
I have said it before, and I will repeat myself, Naruto's actions and reactions are based off of myself from dark periods of my own life.
If that is boring, I am sorry for being a punk-bitch.
What else…
I don't think there is anything else to day today, except ask if you enjoyed the chapter, and if you did, please leave a review. If you hated it, please leave a review as well, as it helps me become a better author.
