Review Response:
Bednarczykmiki: It does, I've done it, but I ran into it. Its why my forehead had stitches scarring.
MichaelTheFox: I already have Naruto's first day planned, don't worry. No, I hoped you wouldn't forget. Huh? I had fun with that part, but it isn't as good as you think, as I want to focus on a very specific thing, but character development with the hounds and imps will happen through out the story.
Redmen6blight: Here is the chapter you waited for.
Gamelover41592: Huh? Lucifer isn't up to anything. He isn't GoWR Odin.
StrongGuy159: I will continue.
Jebest4781: Thanks, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Fenris Silverblood: In due time, my intellectual superior, in do time.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Yep, Naruto, Millie, and Moxxie really do work well together. Not that it will always be smooth sailing. There could be some issues here or there, but nothing big, simple family dynamics. Oh, yes, calling them 'Mom and Dad' *Chef's Kiss*I was looking forward to that for a while. Hm, Tamamo. HM… so, maybe child (16-17) abuse victim, Naruto finds her, she clings to him, and when her parents try to take her by force, Naruto fights back as he can see she is scared as hell? She is apprehensive of his 'help' but eventually falls for him, having some relapses in memory due to PTSD at the abuse of her parents?
Nathair1: Yeah, having both Millie and Moxxie hit Naruto's injury is sort of a dick move on my part, but Moxxie's punishments aren't that hard, so I needed something to show how angry he was, even if it was accidently hurting his son. Yeah, he did, as in canon he doesn't like Loona very much, so the fact his son is dating Loona, he would prefer to keep her out of the house. We can talk about that via PM. Yeah, I get sick whenever I smell bleach. Lucifer's Trophies are not something he wishes to show off, especially the one he was talking to. He views them not as trophies of conquest, but as something to remind him why he hates God. And each one, especially the one he was looking at, makes him remember painful memories.
TheFoxSummoner Clan-Head: Scythe is a good idea. Don't worry, Mar is important.
StarDustDragonknight: In do time, all things are revealed.
Wolf Mike: Thank you.
Ice: No problem, I figured it out. No, it isn't the kind of person you would want to make peace with. Interesting idea for the fighting style.
Gallop: OH YES, DON'T FORGET TO REMIND ME!
Nicholas: Yeah, that shit fucking hurts. Yeah, it will, but Naruto isn't one to brag.
Dogmatrix: Haven't thought about it.
MEATBICYCLE: Thanks for the suggestions.
Exia Zero: I could easily do that.
Guest: Good ideas for the weapon.
Knuckle-duster: I could cameo Cherry Bomb.
Ragnarok1021: I'll check them out.
DaftMerc39: I want to draw Millie hugging her son and husband in tears. Why would I draw a picture of Best Girl Jayjay walking into a telephone pole?
Blood-Nut: Like the name, is it Blood-Nut the Flatulence from Shrek? Oh, shit, I love that, its awesome. That saying.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!

Chapter 27: Vow of a Defeated Demon
Hell, Mid-Morning…
"NARUTO, QUICKLY, CLEAN THE LIVING ROOM!" Millie shouted as she ran through the hallway, cleaning it like a mad man. "MOXXIE, MAKE SURE THE BATHROOM IS CLEANED AND BLEACHED!"
"YES, MA'AM!" Naruto and Moxxie shouted as they ran around like chickens with their heads freshly torn off.
Meanwhile…
"I can't wait to meet Naruto's parents." Jayjay squealed as she skipped down the side walk.
She wore normal blue jeans with a clean purple blouse. Her hair was done in a half-up fishtail braid. She had forgone her favorite feather hair accessories for simple white flower pins.
"Pay attention, you're going to fall." Flare called out with a sweet smile.
Jayjay blew a raspberry toward her boyfriend's dad.
"Seriously, pay attention or else…"
Jayjay slammed into a phone pole.
'Well, there goes the reliable big sister vibe she was trying for.' Flare thought as Vortex ran to his woman, worried she was injured.
M&M's House…
"Phew… we made it." Naruto said as Moxxie slumped into a chair at the table.
Their WHOLE house had been cleaned, not a single speck of uncleanliness was left behind.
The oven in the kitchen was preheating to a very high heat in preparation for lunch.
"I'm gonna jump in the shower… I smell like bleach." Naruto groaned as he stood up.
"Okay sweety, but make it quick, it is almost noon." Millie called out from the hallway.
Naruto walked to his room, picking out a change of clothes before he went to the bathroom to shower.
Once inside, Naruto tossed his clothes into his laundry bin, leaving him naked… except with the plastic wrap around his waist for his wound, which had dental floss and staples in it.
Carefully, Naruto unwrapped it.
The exposed flesh was not as bad as it had been the day before, looking quite healthy.
With an uneasy feeling in his gut, Naruto gently touched it… before pressing into it.
It… hurt… but nothing like the day before.
It barely hurt.
'So, how do I get these out?' Naruto thought as he would need help getting the 'stitching' out of his back.
Sighing, Naruto started the slow, and painful, process of removing what he could.
Blood-soaked staples and floss were discarded, his new bloodied wounds sealing up quickly.
"Huh, so that is what Jayjay meant." Naruto said in surprise before he reached into the shower.
Millie and Moxxie heard the shower start.
"I am glad he is willing to help out around the house." Moxxie said as he walked to the fridge and pulled out a jug of water, pouring a glass of the cold liquid.
"Yep, I guess all those years at the orphanage really did help him in many ways." Millie said carefully.
*Ding-Dong*
"Huh?" Moxxie looked at the clock on the wall as he shut the fridge after putting the jug away. "It's too early for them to be here…"
Walking to the door, Moxxie opened it, expecting Naruto's friends… only to deadpan.
"Loona…" He said with an irritated eye twitch.
"Hello, Fatty, is Naruto in today? Or is he grounded?" Loona asked as she entered, Moxxie's eye twitching as fast as a machine gun.
Loona wore a pair of cut off jean shorts that were loose around her thighs, white thread swaying with her movements, as she wore a Pink Floyd shirt showing the band members.
"He is here, but he is having guests come over soon." Moxxie answered as he shut the door.
"I see." Loona replied as she heard the shower. "Well, I'll go wait in his room."
Loona walked away before Moxxie could tell her she wasn't allowed to.
"Oh, lighten up, Mox." Millie laughed as she pulled her husband away from the door. "They are young, so let them enjoy their youth."
Moxxie grumbled.
"So, what is the plan for lunch, Sweetie?" Millie asked Moxxie, who had planned on making lunch for the group.
"I was thinking roast." Moxxie answered as he walked to the fridge to show a large slab of roast meat he had prepared the night before.
Ten Minutes Later…
Naruto exited the bathroom, one towel around his waist, and one around his shoulders.
'I should ask Millie or Moxxie to help brush my back and tail.' Naruto thought as he took notice of how bushy his tail was.
It was something he didn't like, per say, but having fur was an annoyance.
'Thankfully, there are no fleas… I hope there isn't. that would be murder.' Naruto thought with slight panic at the thought of being COVERED in fleas. 'And ticks… fuck, stop thinking Naruto!'
Walking toward his room, Naruto was greeted by Loona laying on his bed.
"My Moon? Why and when did you get here?" Naruto asked as he shut and locked his door, walking to his closet to hang up his towels, leaving himself naked before Loona.
"I got here a few minutes ago, and I wanted to spend time with you today, but you got friends coming over?" Loona said as she eyed up Naruto's dick.
"Yeah, Tex and Jayjay are coming over for lunch today." Naruto said as he walked up to his selected clothes.
"Hold on…" Loona said as she grabbed his hand, preventing him from getting dressed.
She took his hand and put it on her breast.
"Since we have some time…" Loona asked slyly, yet bashfully.
Naruto swallowed the saliva in his mouth as his erection grew before Loona's eyes.
"NARUTO," Millie called out, making both Naruto and Loona jump. "Your friends are here."
Naruto, his heart racing, shook himself.
"I'll be right down, just need to brush my fur!" Naruto called back loudly as he removed his hand from Loona's supple breast and put a pair of olive-green cargo shorts on. "Loona, can you…hmmmmm…"
"You are adorable." Loona said as Naruto lulled in an out as she brushed his tail.
"This… isn't…" Naruto lulled, eyes heavily lidded, as he turned his back to Loona. "Can you remove… those…"
Seeing the remaining 'stitching' and the staples, Loona understood.
However, she looked at his front.
'Oh, he took those ones out already.' Loona thought before she finished brushing Naruto's tail. "This is going to hurt…"
After the painful removal, for a second time that morning, Naruto threw on a black ACDC shirt with Angus Young performing on it to cover his healing injuries.
Grabbing his headband, Naruto slipped it over his forehead before looking at Loona.
"We'll continue that at a later time, my Moon." Naruto whispered before kissing her.
"That's a promise, my World." Loona chuckled as they left his room.
Five Minutes Prior…
"Alright, the roast is ready to be cooked." Moxxie said as he put the rosemary covered beef into the heated oven, closing it as he and Millie heard a knock at the door.
"I'll answer it, babe, you continue cooking." Millie said as she kissed her husband.
Moxxie, who was wearing a nice casual pants and a t-shirt, smiled like a dope as his wife walked to the door.
Millie wore black jeans with a sleeveless shirt and sleeveless denim jacket.
Millie opened the door to see Jayjay, Vortex, and Flare.
"Hello, we are Naruto's friends." Vortex introduced. "I am Vortex, this is my dad, Flare, and this is my girlfriend, Jayjay."
"NARUTO," Millie called out, making the three hellhounds blink at the suddenness as she stepped aside, smiling as she ushered them in. "Your friends are here."
"I'll be right down, just need to brush my fur!" they heard Naruto reply as they entered.
"It is a pleasure meeting you, ma'am." Jayjay said politely. "Naruto has said nothing but nice things about you and your husband."
Millie rolled her eyes as she led them to the living room, Flare taking interest in the aroma from the kitchen.
"A beef roast with rosemary, butter, and herbs." Flare said, smelling each ingredient Moxxie was using.
"Yes, you must have one hell of a chef sense to recognize that…" Moxxie said as he entered the living room from the kitchen. "Sorry for the late greeting, I am Moxxie, Naruto's dad."
"I am his mother, Millie." Millie introduced.
"I am Flare." Flare greeted. "I am the owner of Paw Print Paradise, and I am a cook, so may I offer my assistance?"
Moxxie smiled.
"I'd like that, Flare." Moxxie said as he appreciated the help.
"So, how did you two meet my son?" Millie asked as she offered the love seat couch to Jayjay and Vortex as Flare and Moxxie went to the kitchen, the two hitting it off very well.
"I met him in the human world," Vortex stated. "I am a body guard to a very popular popstar, and they like taking travels to the human world and perform there. I was able to sniff him out as a Lycan-turned and his woman being a Lycan-born."
"So, you met before… him coming here?" Moxxie asked from the kitchen as he and Flare chopped potatoes, which were being sautéed in butter and herbs.
"Yes, I also gave him a way to find me when he got here, which is how he was able to survive the Extermination with no concern to his wellbeing…"
"Except that stab wound through his side." Millie said with a pout. "Dental floss and staples…"
Vortex and Jayjay winced.
"Yeah… that was my idea." Jayjay admitted. "We were in the human world, and didn't want to go to the hospital, raising questions about how he got the injury or worse, paying the bill."
Everyone shuddered as Naruto and Loona entered the living room.
"Speak of the devil." Jayjay said excitedly as she jumped up, wrapping her arms around Naruto. "Sup, bro."
"Nothing much, but I got this taken care of." Naruto said as he lifted up his shirt, showing off that he no longer had the plastic, the floss, or staples on his front or back.
"Oh, that healed up nicely." Vortex said as he pulled naruto into a one armed hug.
"So, this is the Naruto you two spoke of." Flare asked as he temporarily dismissed himself.
"Hello, Flare." Loona said as she shook his hand. "Yep, this is my World, Naruto."
"He is adorable." Flare said as he approached Naruto. "I am Flare, I am Vortex's dad."
"Oh… OH, it is nice to meet you." Naruto said with a polite bow. "I am Naruto Uzumaki… you already know that…"
Flare chuckled.
"No need for that, Jayjay and my son already see you as family, so you can see me as family as well." Flare said as he shook Naruto's hand. "I will be in the kitchen helping your dad cook. If you'll excuse me."
Naruto nodded as he sat down with Loona sitting next to him.
As the hellhounds and imps spoke and got to know each other more, Blitz was outside in a tree, wearing a 'camouflage' outfit with binoculars.
Meanwhile, Dry Fuck Studios…
Ace stood in his forge, hammering the holy metal, which he had heated up, folded dozens of times, and then elongated slowly into a blade.
Carefully, he quenched it in preheated oil, flames spewing to life as he did.
Quickly, he removed the blade, and checked it for straightness.
Seeing some warping, Ace applied pressure to the warp, and smoothed it out to be as straight as possible while the metal was still soft enough.
"Alright, boss, this will be it before I start sharpening it, now I'll start on the handle." He informed Verosika over loud speaker.
"Thanks Ace, this will mean a lot to Naruto." Verosika said happily over loud speaker.
"No problem, I just hope he likes Hellboy, as I am making his sword look like Prince Nuada's from Golden Army." Ace said as he glanced at the blade.
"He will like it regardless, just take your time to make it as well as you can, Ace." Verosika encouraged.
"Alright, boss." Ace said as he ended the call.
With Verosika…
Verosika hung up, and returned her attention to what was important.
Clothes shopping.
Verosika wanted to look good for Naruto's parents when they met, so she was feverishly trying to find the best outfit with Milky, Apple, and Coco.
"Come on, there HAS to be something that can work." Verosika shouted for the umpteenth time that hour.
"Boss, why don't…" Milky started to say, ducking under a rejected set of clothing. "Why don't you try something… conservative?"
Indeed, all the clothes before the four women were overly sexualize clothing, fit for a succubus for any situation that they needed it, but not really suitable for a home visit.
"Conserva-what?" Verosika asked with an adorable head tilt.
"Conservative clothing, come on, let's get out of this store." Milky said as they left Victoria's Whore Secret and walked a few minutes to a normal clothes store.
"I don't… understand." Verosika said as she looked around and saw the options before her. "How will this help?"
"You want to impress the parents of your partner, so being overly sexual might backfire." Coco said as she remembered meeting Apple's parents for the first time.
She had worn was could be considered lingerie, and while Apple's parents didn't mind, it showed through their actions they expected better.
"I see…" Verosika mumbled as she carefully looked through the clothing. 'SO, this is the kind of stuff girls would wear around Naruto when he was in school.'
During their time together before the Extermination, Naruto had told Verosika about himself, from the moment he was attacked by the dog, earning his nickname of 'Stray Dog', to the moment he woke up in Hell.
'He lived such a simple life, pushing his wants and needs aside for the children.' Verosika thought sadly, her eyes drooping. 'Maybe, instead of coming off strong, maybe he might like something like this…'
Verosika's eyes widened as she saw something that caught her eyes.
"Oh, this is cute." Verosika said as she pulled said clothing off of the rack.
M&M's House…
It had been two hours, the imps and hounds were sitting in the backyard, laughing.
"… and then, last night, my fishcake called us Mom and Dad." Millie laughed with a beer in her hand.
Flare giggled effeminately.
"That is adorable, Fishcake~" Jayjay poked as she looked at Naruto with a bright smirk.
Naruto did his best to hide his embarrassment, but couldn't even as he drank his soda.
Flare, Millie, Jayjay, Vortex, and Loona were drinking, Naruto and Moxxie choosing to stay sober.
"Don't call me Fishcake, only Mil can call me that." Naruto grumbled.
"Aw, you embarrassed?" Jayjay prodded as she leaned over him. "Come on, can't your sister call you the affectionate nickname?"
"Sister?" Moxxie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Jayjay is a Lycan-turned like Naruto, so they have become close like siblings." Vortex whispered to the Imps.
"Oh, that makes sense." Millie replied.
"No, you can't call me that, even if I see you as my sister." Naruto replied to the drunk Jayjay.
"Come on…" Jayjay droned out, before she nearly fell, thankfully caught by Naruto. "Fuck… thanks."
"No problem."
"So… can I…"
"No."
"Oh, please, I want…"
"I SWEAR TO…" Naruto paused, his face showing deep thought. "I SWEAR TO LUCIFER IF YOU ASK…"
A loud crash was heard, it being Flare's beer mug smashing into pieces which went everywhere with the liquid as Flare stared at Naruto.
"DON'T…" He bellowed, making everyone jump from the sudden shout, as he stood up, and closed the distance between himself and Naruto. "DON'T YOU DARE MENTION THAT BASTARD'S NAME, NARUTO! YOU HEAR ME!"
"Dad, dad, chill." Vortex said as he grabbed Flare's shoulder, gripping it tightly to show he wasn't fucking around. "Dad, Stop, now."
Flare stepped back, his eyes showing regret as he stepped further back, taking deep breathes.
He put a hand on his face.
"I… I apologize, Naruto…" he apologized. "It's… Lucifer…"
Flare sat down, taking a deep breathe.
"Flare, if you don't want to…"
"No, this is something you should know." Flare said as he cleared his mind. "Vortex told me he mentioned the basic history of the Lycanthrope clan, right?"
"Yes, he did." Naruto replied as he looked at the eldest hound. "He said that Marchosias was tricked by heaven, and fought Lucifer… but then died."
"Did he mention the Lycan Genocide?" Flare choked out, his hands coming together, fingers linking as he gripped them tightly.
"Yes…"
Flare stayed quiet.
"… My great grandmother was a survivor…" He stated, a distant look in his eyes, as if he was reliving a memory. "She… she was a Lycan-born, but didn't have the Lycan's bite."
"Sorry, Lycan-born?" Naruto asked, politely interrupting Flare. "I thought it was Hellborn, Sinner, and Lycan-turned?"
"A sub-class of hellborn are called Lycan-born, they are like normal Hellborn's, but have the potential of having the Lycan's bite." Flare explained, looking at Loona. "Loona is a Lycan-born."
Loona's eyes widened.
"I guess I am." She replied with a nervous laugh.
Flare nodded.
"Dad…"
Vortex reached out to his father, with Flare taking his son's hand.
He needed his family.
"As I was saying, my great grandmother was a survivor of that genocide." He continued. "My memories of her are full of fear and paranoia that Lucifer would find her and kill her. You see, the Genocide was not as thorough as you think. Lucifer only killed those bitten by Marchosias and those who he bit. So, anyone who was ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/63, 1/128 related to Marchosias were hunted down and killed."
Flare gripped Vortex's hand tightly.
Millie and Moxxie held hands as they felt a sense of dread spread through their bodies.
Naruto, Loona, and Jayjay shifted in their seats.
"My great grandmother told me how they were lined up, single f-file…" Flare choked out. "She told me… he would look at them, analyzing them, and if they were deemed a threat, they were killed. So, put yourself in her shoes. You know you are connected to Marchosias, but don't know if you have the Bite. Then Lucifer hunts you down, and stares into your eyes? Can you imagine how scared she was, pregnant with my grandmother… and feel like she was going to die at the whims of a tyrant!"
Flare took several deep breathes, looking at the ground as tears dripped onto the ground.
"My entire life… she never slept peacefully; nightmares plagued her until she died. But she died after Vortex was born, and she said that she would finally have a peaceful sleep, knowing her Great-Great Grandson was living in a peaceful era." Flare finished.
Everyone remained silent as Flare collected himself.
"Why were… why were Lucifer and Marchosias fighting? And how did Marchosias survive a fight if he was a Marques Demon?" Naruto asked slowly.
"You know, I told you," Vortex replied. "Marchosias was causing a commotion in the human world, so Lucifer went to deal with him."
"But you don't know how." Flare spoke up, drawing everyone's attention to him again. "It is believed to be myth, but this is what happened. Marchosias, as you said Naruto, was barely able to keep up with Lucifer," Flare's eyes slanted in seriousness. "But God intervened."
Naruto and Jayjay leaned in, their full attention on Flare.
"How…" Jayjay asked as she ate her roast.
"Vortex said Marchosias was falsely promised paradise, so why would God help a demon?" Naruto asked curiously.
Flare shrugged.
"That is why I said people tend to think this is myth." Flare stated as he cut himself more roast. "Anyway, God intervened. He granted Marchosias a holy sword that evened out the playing field between him and Lucifer. For seven days, and seven nights, they fought. Each day spent fighting created one Ring of Hell, so seven days, Seven Rings of Hell."
"That is how Hell was created?" Jayjay asked, feeling a tinge of pain in her breast as Naruto's right hand slapped itself onto his left shoulder when he felt a twinge of pain.
"Myth, remember." Flare reinforced. "Anyway, on that eight day, that holy sword had soaked up much of Lucifer's blood and blood of demons that were killed around them, and it was tainted into a demon-holy sword, and with every bit of power remaining in his body, Marchosias launched one desperate attack… and failed, Lucifer killed him without remorse before the sword vanished. Lucifer started his Genocide shortly after."
Flare growled in anger as he grabbed a beer from the cooler, guzzling it down.
"Bastard killed his best friend… and didn't feel any remorse, even killing his kin who stopped fighting. AND FOR WHAT REASON!" Flare shouted, standing up, nearly knocking over the table.
"Sir/Flare/Dad!" Moxxie, Jayjay, and Vortex shouted at the same time.
Flare sat down, ears down in shame.
"Sorry, just… Lucifer is a bastard for doing what he did… the cruel son of a bitch moved on, not caring he slaughter hundreds of hounds or his best friend!" Flare replied in anger, eyes closed. "It was Marchosias's death that led to the harsh strict rules of the Lycans. They didn't want another genocide."
Flare felt drowsy.
"I'm sorry… this story always gets me mad. He was Marchosias's best friend, yet he killed him."
Flare swayed drunkenly.
"He didn't care… moved on… had a daughter…" he stated before his eyes became heavy.
"I apologize." Vortex apologized as his dad slumped, nearly falling asleep.
Lucifer's Castle…
Lucifer lay slumped over his desk, drool dangerously edging at the corner of his mouth, threatening to fall on his paperwork.
He had dozed off while working, pen in his hand showing he had been working when he fell asleep.
Dream…
"LUCI!"
"MAR!"
The two demons clashed, lucifer feeling the lack of strength behind Marchosias's strike, allowing him to push the tainted holy sword back onto its user, cleaving Marchosias diagonally in half, a shocked expression on his face as he fell from the sky.
Resuming his more human form, Lucifer caught Marchosias's torso, his legs falling to the ground.
"Mar, MAR, stay with me!" Lucifer begged as he landed on the ground, frantically looking for his friend's legs.
The sword landed into the ground, embedded into the soft earth as Lucifer found Marchosias's legs.
"L-Luci…"
Lucifer saw the light of life fade as Marchosias went limp, his blood soaking into Lucifer's clothing.
Lucifer felt tears threaten to fall, but he angrily bit his lip, kneeling as he held Marchosias's corpse close, refusing to cry as he trembled, making NO sound of anguish.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT, FATHER!" Lucifer screamed to the Heaven's, the tears in his eyes never falling due to magic keeping them in place. "I'LL NEVER SHED A TEAR BECAUSE OF YOU! I REFUSE TO SHOW YOU OR YOU DISGUSTING ILK WEAKNESS! YOU'LL… YOU'LL NEVER BREAK ME! THAT I PROMISE!"
End Dream…
Lucifer's eyes lazily fluttered open.
'Hm… must have dozed off.' He thought as he released his pen, sitting up to stretch his arms and back.
He thought about his dream, no, the memory.
'It must have been because I looked at Mar's sword last night that got me thinking of that day.' Lucifer thought as he took up his pen. 'Doesn't matter, God never listens to the prayers of demons.'
Chapter 27, DONE!
Well, that was a history lesson and a half.
Yeah, Naruto's sword from the spear head is the Prince Nuada Sword from Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I love the Hellboy comics and the Ron Perlman Movies (Live action and Animated Movies) so why not have an awesome weapon with a gut-hook be Naruto's first sword.
I enjoyed writing the scene with Verosika clothes shopping, with her 'norma/casual' clothing always being sexual, and the word conservative not being a part of Verosika's Vocabulary.
Then, there is the 'myth' of what happened during Marchosias's fight with Lucifer. I wonder if it truly is myth, or if there is any truth to this story. Or it could just be a story told by a drunk, I don't know…. Wait, I am the author, I do know.
Jokes aside, I had a lot of fun with this chapter, I hope you guys did too. If you enjoyed it, please leave a review. If you disliked it, leave a review anyway as it helps me become a better author.
