Review Response:
Nathair1: I know, so many questions. And some will be answered.
Jebest4781: Yeah, if S1 E8 didn't air, I would not have written the last chapter.
ShadowBloodedge3936: Yeah, apparently some don't like how friendly Bee is, while they forget her gimmick and the fact she is a Sin doesn't raise bells. She could be forced into a villain role. Stark doesn't regret killing Lilynette, it is the drugs making him feel sad, but the smile was to show he is not sorry.
Fenris Silverblood: Hm… I see. The point with the backstory is to make sure people continue to hate Stark. He has been a shit heel since he was a human.
StrongGuy159: Thank you.
Gamelover41592: How did I impress you, if I may ask?
Chronosign: Hopefully this chapter makes up for it.
Shadowkanji: I don't think reincarnation is what is happening. It isn't impossible for the other Tailed Beasts to be in the story as demons. It would fit thematically.
Zamaree950: Happy to oblige.
Guest: Hm, people really hate it I guess.
MichaelTheFox: It might not happen for a while, but it will be fun.
Daftmerc39: She will be avenged when he dies. I like Bee too. Yeah, I remember when I made Jayjay his GF, I stated I was worried that Vivzie would show her, and if she was introduced, Jayjay would stay. But it was only when I was writing last chapter did I think of Bee and Vortex being EX's and still friends. Yeah, Bee felt incredibly fucked when Jayjay wasn't happy. OOOOH we should draw Naruto with his future children.
Animecollecter: I am attracted to Bee too.
Ice: OOOh, cool.
Nicholas: Well, he had to. Kurama is a member of the Goetia, a Marquis. LOL, He would kill whoever calls him Crimmy.
Reggad the Knife: Uh… *Glance at remains* I think I need to recast the actor, you killed Stark's actor.
Guile: Thank you, this sounds awesome. A SKullCrawler.
Snakebane: "You like Bear Mace, Icehead? You're going with Christ!" Eric Cartman, South Park.
Veil: Every fan art of Bee I saw before the episode was literally a damn bee.
MEATBICYCLE: Why would Crimson NOT have a plan to Backstab her? I mentioned this above, but the drugs made him 'cry' but the smile is to show he doesn't feel sad truly. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what I do with Bee, and believe me, I have an idea that will be interesting.
Shroud: Yes, Naruto will meet Bee eventually.
Brooklyn: Soon, Go after who, Yes.
Bednarczykmiki: He will.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!

Chapter 49: The Reluctance of Self
Lust Ring, Fox's Den…
"… under me, and in return, you and your men get to run rampant with your own business." Kurama said, spinning in her chair smoking her pipe.
"All in all, Madam." Crimson said on the other side. "This works for both parties. Just one question though."
"Go on." Kurama urged her newest partner in crime to be honest and open.
"Why can't we grab Naruto tomorrow? Why must we… wait until next week?" Crimson asked, his tone questioning, as if he smelled a rat.
Kurama was silent in her reply.
"Because, there is something important I must due," Kurama stated calmly, staring out of her window to the Lust Ring. "And I don't need any distractions. You see, it has to do with my duties as the Marquis."
"Understood, Madam." Crimson replied like a gentleman. "Let us know if there are any changes in the plan."
"Good night, Crimson."
"Good night, Madam."
Both leaders hung up, with their eyes narrowing.
'He is a scumbag/She is a dumb broad.' Both thought as they looked out their windows, standing up from their chairs to their… turf. 'Once our alliance is over, he/she is dead.'
Only One had the power to make this mental statement come true.
Stolas's Castle…
In a solitary room, usually unused, was Stolas, sweating over a bubbling cauldron.
The blue-purple flames under it raising the temperature of the room of stone.
"Phew, I think I did this correctly." Stolas said unsurely as he looked over his book one more time, holding the final ingredient. "Well, in for a penny…"
Stolas cautiously poured the substance into the bubbling liquid.
He raised his hands up defensively, magic matrix appearing as the liquid started to froth… violently.
An explosion of magic erupted within the room.
"Oh, my…" Stolas said in surprise as the liquid had gotten all over the room, but instead of being a state of liquid, it was a colorful foam. "Well," he said as he ripped his notes and started writing. "Back to the drawing board."
Meanwhile, Dry Fuck Studios…
Milky, Millie, Moxxie, Vortex, Jayjay, Blitz, Verosika, Loona, and Naruto watched the final scene, Winslow Leach, the Phantom of the Paradise, crawl toward his beloved Phoenix, disfigured, bleeding, and crying.
"Oh, My Satan…" Moxxie whimpered, dabbing the tears in his eyes. "This was beautiful."
"It was hon." Millie said, snuggling with her husband.
"I loved it." Moxxie said as the theater's lights turned back on as the credits rolled, Swan singing the end song, "The Hell of It". "It's like Phantom of the Opera."
"Did Faust really summon the devil?" Naruto asked Loona, looking at her curiously.
"Well, some say he did." Loona replied with a playful smile, earning a pout from Naruto.
"Not an answer." He replied, cheeks puffed out.
Verosika chuckled and pinched his cheek.
"You are just adorable." Verosika said, giggling at the deadpanned look she received from Naruto.
Naruto went to reply, but a heavy yawn emitted itself from his lungs.
"I guess it's time for bed." Milky stated, leaning over the chair to get a good look at Naruto.
"No…" Naruto whined, his body suddenly feeling very tired and his eyelids becoming heavy.
"Come on, big guy, let's go to bed." Loona said, taking Naruto's hand.
Naruto unwillingly obeyed Loona.
"Geez, that kid is a buzz kill." Blitz said, taking his umpteenth shot of Beezle-Juice.
"You really don't like kids, do you?" Jayjay asked as she and Vortex got up to go to sleep, it was already late as it was.
"No…" Blitz replied to the Blue Hellhound. "Just don't like him."
Blitz walked out of the theater, seeing Loona's tail vanish behind the corner.
Kronk'ing his way through the halls, Blitz followed his daughter and the tiny human to his temporary room.
He listened in as Loona put Naruto to bed, tucking him in.
"Good night, Naruto." Loona said, pushing his hair aside to kiss his forehead.
Naruto's hand grabbed hers.
"Can you stay…" He asked sheepishly.
Loona didn't say a word, she turned off the lamp, and crawled on top of the blanket, wrapping her arm around his shoulders, her tail blanketing him.
She couldn't help but smile as he snuggled into her.
'It is just like that time, right before the dance…' Loona thought, looking down at the Green Jade necklace Naruto had given her.
Flashback…
Naruto's Room…
Loona teared up as she watched Kratos and Atreus have a bonding moment in God of War.
Her ears perked up as she heard a soft sound beside her.
Loona looked over and saw Naruto sleeping, snoring softly as he leaned against the wall on his bed.
'It is this late?' Loona questioned as she saw Naruto's alarm clock, which showed it was eleven thirty.
Saving the game, Loona turned off the PS4 and the TV before she snuggled up next to Naruto, undoing her human disguise, wrapping her tail around naruto as she pulled him into her embrace.
"I love you, so much, Naruto." Loona whispered as she held him close, guilt starting to rise in her gut. "Hopefully, soon, I can reveal what I truly am to you."
Naruto snuggled into her fur, a smile appearing on his dozing face, making Loona smile sadly.
Closing her eyes, Loona reapplied her human disguise before she followed him into sleep.
Flashback End…
Loona's smile didn't fade as she and Naruto fell asleep.
On the other side, Blitz leaned against the wall.
Like Speedwagon, he removed himself from the situation Cooly.
A short time later, the door creaked open, revealing a… slightly wasted Verosika wearing only a button up flannel shirt.
Morning…
Naruto was surrounded by softness and fur.
He was in a happy place.
And his bladder was full.
His eyes slowly opened so he could go to the bathroom, his body trying to fight him to stay asleep, but he forced himself to wake up.
And wake up Naruto did… between Loona and a half naked (The shirt unbuttoned) Verosika, whose breath stank of booze.
It felt like his blood froze over when he saw Verosika's voluptuous breasts bare for all to see.
And stare did the twelve-year-old do.
Until he remembered he had to use the bathroom.
But it was forever burned into his memory.
Meanwhile…
Millie was snuggling with her husband, both in progress of waking up slowly as the sun entered their room.
Until they were pushed into waking up when Moxxie's Phone went off.
"Oh, it's Lord Stolas." Moxxie said groggily, wiping the sleep from his eyes as he sat up, tapping the bedside table for his phone, eventually touching it, picking it up. "Hello, Sir."
"Oh, did I wake you, Moxxie?" Stolas asked in an apologetic tone.
"No, we were waking up." Moxxie yawned into the phone as he lay back down, his arm being grabbed by Millie.
"Well, I just wanted to inform you that I am working on a Re-Aging potion." Stolas informed the parents.
Millie snatched the phone out of Moxxie's hand, sat straight up, her eyes wide awake.
"Say what?" She said in an irritated, but restrained tone. "You said we had to wait for the affects to wear off, its been three days…"
"I know I said we'd have to wait a week, BUT I did some research and found out about the Re-Aging potion." Stolas replied, his apologetic tone being replaced with his diplomatic tone. "I am trying my best to make it as fast as possible."
"We thank you for your time and effort, my lord." Moxxie said, pulling the phone out of Millie's grasp. "Please, take the time you need."
Millie was visibly shaking.
Not in anger.
But happiness as her son was gonna return to normal sooner rather than later.
This happiness was ruined when Blitz hit the bed.
"SIR!" Moxxie wailed in anger.
"Sup, we got work to do." Blitz said, ignoring his worker's rage as he got off the bed. "Get ready."
After an uncomfortable breakfast, the imps left for work, with Millie giving Naruto a big hug before leaving.
Currently, Naruto was outside the Studio with Loona, Jayjay, Vortex, Verosika, and Milky.
"Catch!" Naruto said as he threw a frisbee.
Loona smirked, running a few steps before jumping up, her fangs clutching the plastic dish.
She landed on her feet, grabbing the frisbee with her hand, she tossed it toward Jayjay.
Jayjay caught it in her hand despite feeling the urge to catch it in her mouth.
"Hey, babe, catch!" Jayjay called to vortex, who was prepared.
Like Loona, Vortex jumped up to catch the frisbee in his mouth.
Verosika and Milky were nearby in lawn chairs with martini's, watching the action.
After an hour, the group returned inside, where Milky and Verosika showed Naruto the bar, with the former dazzling him with her beverage making skills.
She even made him a non-alcoholic drink while handing Verosika a real drink.
ONLY for Naruto to 'accidently' spill her drink.
"It's too early to drink." He had stated, much to Verosika's ire when Milky snickered, agreeing with the human child.
Around lunch, Jayjay grilled up some grub, making Naruto's eyes water in tears of joy from how delicious it was.
"You are a great cook, Sis." Naruto declared with a giant smile, making Jayjay blush, punching Vortex's arm from her excitement.
Just as Lunch was being finished, IMP returned.
Loona snickered as Naruto had convinced Blitz to play a game of Yugioh, with the former beating the older Imps ass twelve games in a row, even with Loona's help.
After Millie and Moxxie got refreshed and changed clothing, Naruto got to watch Millie and Vortex spar.
And what a fight it was.
Both fighters were excellent in hand-to-hand combat, but the odds were in Vortex's favor… UNTIL Millie broke out the staff, evening the playing field.
Naruto cheered as he watched the imp and hellhound spar on equal terms.
"Yield?" Millie asked as she pole vaulted upward, wrapping her legs around Vortex's neck, his hands grabbing her legs.
"Yield!" Vortex replied, tapping Millie's shin, his eyes starting to roll into the back of his head. "I Yield…"
Gasping upon the imp removing her leg, Vortex collapsed, grasping his chest as gulps of precious oxygen flooding his system.
Naruto's eyes were wide as Millie flourished the staff, spinning it in her hand before placing the end in the ground.
"Well, you sure are a better sparing partner than Moxxie." Millie admitted, wiping her forehead of sweat.
Naruto turned toward the weapons that Millie had brought out, one in particular grabbing his attention.
Jayjay's ears perked up when she heard a rummaging sound near the small table.
"Naruto…" Jayjay said as she saw Naruto flinch, hiding something under his shirt with his hands. "What is in your hand."
"Nothing." Naruto said as his hands exited his shirt, palms open to show nothing in them.
"What did you grab?" Jayjay said as she stood up and approached the child.
"Nothing." Naruto said with more emphasis, averting his gaze from Jayjay.
"Naruto." Jayjay said strictly, stopping in front of Naruto with hands on her hips with a very serious face. "What. Did you grab?"
Naruto reached under his shirt…
"A KNIFE!"
"NO!" Jayjay screamed when Naruto revealed said knife before running off.
Millie jumped over her son and grappled him safely to the ground, taking the knife from his hand.
Twenty Minutes Later…
On the couch, Naruto snuggled into Loona's tail, smiling happily as he napped, feeling exhausted from the excitement.
Loona let his head lay across her lap, running her hand through his hair.
Verosika sat in the chair next to her, pouting.
"I wanna pet him too…" Verosika said with her lips pursed tightly, playfully glaring at Loona.
Loona giggled as she gestured for Verosika to come over.
Carefully shifting over on the couch, Loona made space for Verosika to sit next to her.
The succubus carefully placed her hand on Naruto's head.
His soft hair running through her fingers, smiling at the small sounds and movements Naruto made.
'It is like I am falling for him…' Verosika thought as she looked up at Loona.
'All over again.' Loona thought at the same time with Verosika.
Naruto shifted over onto his back, his face upward.
Verosika had an evil idea.
Pulling out her phone, she held up with the camera on.
Loona caught on and leaned into Verosika, making faces as they took a few Selfies with Naruto unaware.
Meanwhile…
Octavia bandaged her father's forearm.
"You really have no aptitude for potion brewing, dad." Octavia chuckled.
"Well, when your expertise is stars and plants, potion brewing is the LAST thing on my mind when growing up." Stolas bitterly replied, facepalming. "OOOOoh…" He pinched the area between his eyes. "I feel like a failure for this inability…"
"Well, dad, why don't you ask grandpa?"
Stolas flinched and deadpanned; eyes sharp.
Paimon Ars Goetia, King Rank of the Goetia.
Father of Stolas.
Grandfather of Octavia.
Octavia could see the 'the fuck you ask' energy and look on Stolas's face.
"It wouldn't hurt to ask, dad." She urged softly. "Naruto could go the next four days, but do you want your friend to suffer?"
Stolas sighed in defeat.
He could not really say no to his daughter when it was important.
"Okay, dear," He said, standing up and hugging her. "Thank you, my starlet."
Octavia smiled, closing her eyes as she hugged her father.
Bidding a temporary farewell, Stolas entered his bedroom, magically dressing in his formal clothing before he sat at his desk.
The mirror equipped to the wall reflected the reluctant owl.
Sighing heavily to get it out of his system, Stolas straightened himself out and he touched the mirror.
"Father…" he said as the mirror surface rippled in magic. 'I still wish he would get a cellphone, using magic to call him is such an old fashioned and dull way of communication.'
The mirror rippling slowed as a demon like Stolas entered its reflection.
Paimon is a very tall avian demon resembling a great horned owl or raven, with black feathers over his body and larger feathers pointing upwards to resemble horns.
He has glowing red eyes with white pupils, and a white face reminiscent of an eye mask that bears intricate red sigils. He wears a long crimson cloak with a pale maroon upper section and gold trimming that covers his body, along with a hood that goes to about his chin.
"I am Paimon, King of the Ars Goetia." Paimon introduced, Stolas calm yet emotionless. "Who summons… Oh, it is you… You…?"
"Stolas." Said demon informed with an eyeroll.
"Ah, Stolas, my dear son." Paimon announced with bravado, like he remembered his son's name… one of them… he had many children.
"I am here…" Stolas felt his throat engorge, trying to choke him for what he was about to do. "Wish to be given a vial of Fountain of Youth water… and a bottle of Re-Aging Potion."
Paimon quirked an eyebrow, his hand lifting up to scratch his chin, revealing golden stars under his cloak.
"Hm, why do you request… such items…"
Stolas played it cool, but internally had to force himself.
'For Naruto's safety.'
"I want the Water to…" Stolas nearly hurled, passing it off as a cough. "To reduce the age of myself and Stella…" He 'coughed' again. "Sorry, something in my throat. *Ahem* reduce the age of me and Stella for some PASSIONATE…" Stolas's eyes widened, not for emphasis but gag reflex. "Fornication."
"Ahhh." Paimon said in acceptance, chuckling. "I was wondering when you'd ask me for this, my son. I swear, you and Stella were the picture of disfunction."
Stolas nervously smiled, looking like he was about to burst when the items in question appeared on his desk via magic, the emblem of Paimon under them.
"The items you requested, Vial of Fountain of Youth Water and a Re-Aging potion." Paimon stated in a pleasant tone. "Do tell me how it feels to be young again. Once you reach an Infinite in age, it because less fun."
Paimon ended the call, allowing Stolas to vomit in the garbage bin.
He was going to fuck Stella… just to make this situation NOT be a Lie.
Taking a few minutes to collect himself, Stolas wiped his mouth clean before dressing casually.
"Mister Butler," Stolas called out, his trustful (True Father figure) appearing beside him. "Prepare my car, I am visiting a friend."
Twenty Minutes Later…
"Oh, Naruto is so cute at this age~" Octavia said as she hugged the child.
Naruto was deadpanning hard.
He was playing Wii with Moxxie when this… bird… Bird Girl(?) walked up to him and pulled him into a hug.
'At least its better than a cheek pull.' Naruto thought as he was put down.
"Here." Stolas said as he approached Naruto, pulling out the large bottle of Re-Aging Potion. "Drink a sip of this, and the affects of the Wat… You will wake up from your coma."
"What?" Naruto asked as he looked at Stolas, eyes widening.
"Your coma." Stolas emphasized, kneeling down to Naruto's level. "It is time for you to wake up now. Come on, drink a sip and you'll wake up."
Stolas held the bottle out for Naruto to take.
But he hesitated.
His gaze at the bottle was full of concern, fear, and worry.
"I… I don't want to wake up…" Naruto sputtered out, taking a step back.
"Huh?" Stolas, Octavia, Loona, Jayjay, Vortex, Verosika, Blitz, Milky, Millie and Moxxie said in confusion.
"Why don't you want to wake up?" Milky asked, not in the know how for Naruto's… reluctance.
"I don't want to wake up… I am not wanted outside this coma." Naruto blurted out, water starting to form in his eyes. "No one wants me out there… No one wants me… but you…"
He gestured toward everyone.
"You guys… you want me here…" He gasped out, starting to shake with emotion. "You… like me…"
He closed his eyes, tears streaming from them.
"I'd rather be in bliss here than be with people who hate me!" he stated loudly.
No one knew what to do.
All of them looking between each other, looking for any sign of an idea.
But one did have an idea.
Loona kneeled down, looking Naruto in the eyes with a soft, reassuring smile, carefully taking the potion from Stolas.
"Naruto." She said as she cupped his left cheek, his hands reaching up to touch her wrist, leaning into her hand. "I want you."
Naruto's eyes cracked open, h.
"Really?" He asked in a cracked tone.
Loona nodded.
"I will always want you," Loona promised, lifting the potion up, uncorking it with her thumb, before holding up to Naruto's face. "Now and forever."
Naruto swallowed the lump in his throat, and leaned forward, the glass touching his lips.
Loona slowly tilted it up.
The liquid hit Naruto's tongue, and he swallowed one small gulp before Loona removed it from his mouth.
Chapter 49, DONE!
Oh, shit, Paimon a KING of Hell has been introduced.
I knew I was gonna include him sooner or later. Boo1194 had this idea for the Re-Aging potion brewing idea, and then we brainstormed it for a few days and bam, this happened. Please show Boo some love on our deviantart account for new pictures, Boo1194.
Oh, and that ending, with Loona restoring Naruto, but… will he be the same?
Also... Stolas is gonna be fucking his wife, Stella, with the Fountain of Youth Water... joy.
If you enjoyed the chapter, please leave a review, even if you disliked it as it helps me become a better author.
