Highschool DxD The Eroge
Chapter 3: Onee-San To The Rescue!
The familiar sight from the Hokage Mountain had always been a comforting sight. When the sunlight embraced the buildings, kissing windows and enveloping training grounds in a warm shimmer. Though everything appeared perfect, this version of Konoha was bare, empty, and wrong. No people could be seen among their hovels, crowding in the markets or even academy students running around trying to complete a grueling D-Rank job. This hollow shell of his home was missing the very essence which made it so special.
Standing a few feet away, sun shining against his silver hair was the remarkably familiar figure of his old teacher, Jiraiya. Robes tussled in the same unruly fashion; smile stretched in an all too familiar manner. Even though everything looked right, the situation was extremely wrong.
"Do you like it?" The phantom of Jiraiya asked, his smile twisting shrewishly. Opening both arms wide and beckoning over to the recreation Konoha, "I tried to recreate it exactly as you remembered it, though it could use some work."
Not bothering to answer the question, Naruto crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes in an accusatory manner, "Who are you exactly?"
"You've been quite stubborn in using the System..." The fake Jiraiya hummed, eyes bearing an uncomfortable light, "It's been rather boring watching you drag your feet."
A wave of his hand, 'Jiraiya' contorted the landscape with ease. The sky darkened enveloping the once peaceful atmosphere in an oppressive haze. Buildings crumbled like paper, storied monuments shattering like glass, leaving behind a desolate disaster zone in their wake. Twisting and expanding, the landscape reshaped itself into the Valley of the End – its symbolic statues, damaged and polished stone littering the surrounding forest.
"To answer your question," 'Jiraiya' began slowly, his eyes glowing in an ethereal blue. The jovial tune associated with his godfather, no longer present, "I am just a simple fan, nothing else."
"A fan?"
Smiling at the incredulous tone, 'Jiraiya' shrugged, and his figure began to blur. Twisting his lips in mild annoyance, the phantom snapped a finger, summoning the system screen.

"Why should I?" Naruto snapped, glaring heatedly at his false teacher, "You kidnapped me, took my Chakra, and tossed me to this crappy world... I'll pass."
Not responding at once, 'Jiraiya' chuckled, "You don't have a choice in this matter."

…
"When I see you again, I'm going to kick your ass."
If the bastard heard him, he did not respond. As the world around him crumpled, piece by piece a gentle voice guided him to consciousness.
Naruto:
As he returned to the realm of the living, Naruto's bleary eyes scanned his surroundings. Taking a moment to regain his bearings, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and let loose a content sigh. Drowsiness fading after the restless nap, the blonde studied his surroundings.
Unlike the many other days, his fellow third years were not packing their bags nor chatting among friends – rather, their attention was squarely on the unexpected sight laid out before them. Standing beside their sleepy classmate with an unreadable expression was their Student Council President. Not a single attempt to awaken their sleeping classmate was made. Even as a fellow student approached Naruto, they had been shot down by Sona's disapproving state.
"What are you doing here, Sona?" Naruto's curious drawl enrapturing every set of eyes.
Not bothered by their audience, Sona readjusted her glasses and nodded to his school bag, "I wanted us to walk home together."
As if a starting pistol was fired, the flurry of whispers and gossiping of students filled the classroom. Initial rumors about their relationship began when curious eyes spotted them walking to school together – this sudden announcement reignited that flow of gossip.
"Can't, got work today." Naruto replied not bothering to even think about the offer.
Stretching his sore muscles, the blonde tossed his school bag over his shoulder and moved to leave. He did not even take three steps before Sona turned to follow.
"I'm hungry," Sona announced casually, not bothered by his quick rejection, "Shall we walk together?"
Shrugging in response, Naruto strolled out the classroom with Sona hot on his heels. Their departure, fueling the gossip which seemed to have reached its crescendo. This would be a headache later; he was sure of it. For now, his attention was focused on Sona and her identity as a Devil. Dohnaseek's unsettling statements put him on edge, though it was obvious the fedora bastard held some form of hatred aimed at either Devils. The bastard cosplaying as Jiraiya did not help his nerves whatsoever.
He had no control over the system nor the administrator, but he could verify Dohnaseek's l information right now.
Stopping abruptly, Naruto turned to Sona. They had walked through the extremely large school for a few minutes now, thankfully after school activities did not begin just yet – leaving the hallways sparsely populated. Their small section of hallway was empty, it was now or never.
This was as good as a time as any to use the many, relationship teachings Jiraiya tried to teach him. If he recalled the old pervert's words and writing correctly, the male lead was supposed to do the "legendary" wall slam.
Sona:
It had been a day since her and Rias' weekly game of chess, their conversation, even if she did not care to admit it, worried her. Her childhood friend and rival was indeed beautiful, frighteningly so. If someone could enamor a high school student, it was Rias. Even if the logical part of her mind waved off those concerns, her emotional half wailed at the prospect of losing Naruto.
It was foolish, truly. She had only known the blonde for a few days, yet an indescribable connection had been birthed. She rationalized the unexpected possessiveness as nothing more than her competitive spirit – furious over the prospect of losing a potential servant.
Snapping herself out of her winding train of thoughts, Sona bumped headfirst into the blonde.
"Why are we stopping, Naruto?" She asked.
Her curiosity growing, Sona opened her mouth to ask once more. Then, it happened. Like some of Rias' favorite anime's come to life – Sona could only stare as she was pressed against the wall, entrapped between it and Naruto.
Breath hitched, heart racing, mind going blank, whatever words she wanted to speak, disappeared like wind. Flushing mightily, the young heiress was ensnared by the slow approaching ocean blue eyes. Even if she had any willpower to fight against the kabedon, nothing would have come of it.
"Ah.." She finally muttered, daring not to lock eyes with the blonde.
"Tell me, Sona," Naruto whispered, his face inches from the bespectacled girl's, "Are you a devil?"
"What-"
Realizing just what Naruto asked, Sona froze. The question acting as nothing more than a bucket of ice water, splashing her out of her stupor. As her mind processed the events following up to said question, a growing sense of dread consumed her.
Her prized mind, something she coveted more than anything else, froze. The sudden whiplash of emotional confession to suspicious question, sent her spiraling.
He knew…
How did he figure it out?
Reeling in her shock, Sona schooled her features hoping she looked in control. Even with her inhuman strength, trying to drive some distance between herself and Naruto was futile. Even her enhanced strength could not get him to budge an inch.
"Answer me, Sona." Naruto pressed, his voice never changing.
"You're using my real name, instead of my alias." Sona began an edge of bitterness seeping into her voice, "You know the answer already, Naruto…"
Nodding in acquiesce, the blonde leaned back giving her much needed breathing room.
"How did you figure it out?"
Blinking at her, Naruto paused until he finally responded, "Some fallen angel and his lackey attacked me after our date, they had quite a bit to say about you and the others."
Are you okay?
She wanted to ask, yet the question never came out. Swallowing, Sona did not bother fighting the worry from showing, "What happened to them?"
"I captured the fedora bastard, or whatever his name is."
"Will you let me explain?" She asked quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. Try as she might, the pleading in her question was obvious.
"Tonight, my apartment." Naruto replied after a moment of silent deliberation.
His piece said, the blonde strolled through the hallway once more – thankfully, alone. When he finally rounded the corner, Sona could only blame her own carelessness for the situation. Her earlier assumptions about Naruto were spot on, missing some key details but correct, nevertheless. Though he was clearly stronger than the average human, it seemed like he held no connection to the supernatural world.
Finding out about the supernatural after an attack would put anyone on edge. Considering how amiable he was to a conversation, Naruto was not her enemy, yet anyway. From what she gathered, the Fallen who had been in Kuoh uninvited, had spilled whatever knowledge he had. If her assumptions were correct, the Fallen would have, on principle, spoken about every little misdeed committed by the Devils – hoping to taint whatever goodwill existed between them.
Calming herself, Sona began her own walk back to the Student Council Room, hopefully she could convince him she held no ill intentions.
Naruto:
Resting himself against the cushioned booth, Naruto scanned the empty restaurant before returning his gaze onto the screen. His earlier conversation with Sona affected the damn thing.
[User Warning!]
[Sona Sitri's Heroine Status is At Risk! If The Relationship Is Further Damaged Sona Sitri Will Lose Her Heroine Status! If a Heroine Is Lost Extreme Penalties Are Applied to The User!]
Snorting at the warning screen, Naruto waved the screen away. For now, he'd focus on figuring out what proverbial shit he stepped into. Dohnaseek's barely coherent rambling left him with little choice than to go directly to Sona. It was a shame Kurama wasn't with him; his oceans of Chakra plus negative emotions sensing would be godsend.
"Girlfriend troubles?" The curious voice of Kenji echoed from his spot behind the bar.
Blinking, Naruto shrugged as he responded, "Something like that, old man."
"I'm thirty-four, you shitty brat!" Kenji hissed brown eyes burning with righteous anger. Stomping over, he offered his blonde coworker an overtly aggressive hair ruffle, "Is it the same girl that ate here?"
"The same one."
"She was cute… How'd you fuck it up?"
Drumming a finger on the wooden table, Naruto pondered his next words, "Eh, just a small argument."
Humming, Kenji offered a consolatory pat on the shoulder, "Have I told you about my old girlfriend? The one who came here almost everyday?"
"Same one that Masuyo chased out with her cleaver?"
"Yup, the old hag really saved my skin."
Nodding, slowly Naruto scrunched his eyes, and he offered the older man a curious stare, "Why did you break up with her at the restaurant again? The mess was a pain in the ass to clean up."
"Masuyo has been chasing away unwanted my girlfriends since I started working here." Kenji replied, chuckling.
"You're worse than the old perv, maybe Masuyo should let them beat you up."
"Anyways," Kenji pivoted quickly, choosing to ignore the snarky response, "We would fight everyday, not a day later we would make up. I never remembered what we fought about."
"Thanks… I guess." Naruto sighed, offering Kenji a nod of appreciation. Even if he didn't understand where the man was coming from, he was trying to help on his own way.
"I'm here all week, tips are appreciated."
Scoffing, Naruto flipped him the bird.
"I'll go check on the hag, you sit here and look pretty."
[Potential Heroine Found!]
[New Quest Available!]
[Quest – Your Very Own Strict Onee-San]
[Reward: ?]
[Penalty: -100 E-Coins + ?]
[Do You Wish To Accept]
[Y/N]
Eyeing the quest, Naruto debated on whether to accept or not. If, the evenings conversation with Sona ended poorly, it would be smart to have a Heroine to negate any aforementioned penalties. Then again, juggling two Heroines with his little to no romantic experience, was going to be a pain.
[The System Administrator Has Forcibly Updated the Quest!]
[This Quest Cannot Be Declined!]
"Asshole." Naruto growled glaring down at the screen.
[The System Administrator Has Sent You a Message!]
[;D]
Now this thing was mocking him.
Before he could let loose a string of insults, the restaurant door swung open – allowing a beautiful woman to walk in. Beautiful felt like an insult, frankly. Silk spun snowy, silver hair streamed down to her shoulders. Underneath the fluorescent lights of the establishment, her hypnotic crimson eyes shone even more scintillatingly. Garbed in a fitting skirt and an expensive looking blouse, the term goddess was more fitting for the ethereal figure. Simply walking in, she stole the spotlight, drawing every pair of eyes to her.
"Ah, welcome back, Grayfia." Naruto greeted the restaurants most prominent regular. Each time she appeared; the place was usually packed with admirers and onlookers.
Offering her a seat at the bar, Naruto moved to prepare a glass of water. Grayfia had been coming to Masuyo's enough for him to have remembered her order. Ni matter the occasion, the woman would always order a miso ramen with extra narutomaki.
"How has school been for you, Naruto." Grayfia's curious voice drawing his attention.
"Eh… About the same." He replied rubbing the back of his head with mild embarrassment. It seemed even in this world he still sucked with academics.
"If you need any help with studying, I'm always willing to help on my off days."
Wincing at the offer, Naruto offered her the water and dried his hands. Since becoming familiar with one another, Grayfia always offered up her assistance with anything. Her kindness endeared him, which made his constant slacking a bitter pill to swallow. Her kindness reminded him of a reliable older sister.
Son of a bitch.
And like the worst alarm clock, the system chimed.
[Heroine Profile Update!]

[Do You Wish To?]
[Y/N]
Forgoing that for now, he dismissed the system screen and focused on his job. Moving to the kitchen door, Naruto rolled his eyes at Kenji's figure spying at their newest customer. Since Grayfia's frequent visits, Kenji had been effortlessly charmed by the cultured, yet amiable woman.
Once the kitchen doors shut, Kenji hastily grabbed the blonde. "What did you two talk about, kid?"
"We just talked about school." Naruto replied simply, escaping his coworkers eager grasp, rounding to the cooking station, he jotted down the order for Masuyo, "One order of miso ramen, extra narutomaki."
"Coming right up!" Acknowledged the elderly cook.
"I'll serve her, go on break kid!" Kenji offered from the kitchen doors, his attention solely on the lovely customer.
"Don't scare her away!" Masuyo shouted brandishing her ladle and pouring it at the bartender.
Clutching his heart and dramatically collapsing to his knees, Kenji did his best to mimic a kicked puppy, "I'm always a perfect gentleman. Especially for Grayfia, she loves a man with proper manners."
Not wanting to touch that topic of conversation, Naruto walked away. Whenever Grayfia visited, Kenji became a lost cause, nursing his schoolboy crush with full force.
"Your lunch is ready brat, go take a break." Masuyo addressed Naruto, her tone much gentler.
Nodding his head in thanks, Naruto grabbed the freshly prepared noodles and marched to the break room. Chopsticks in one hand, he browsed the system. His balance of E-Coins was at 55, enough for 5 skill summons and 1 equipment summon. Considering the first time usage was set at 5 E-Coins, the price would double afterwards.
Turning to his profile, Naruto's had barely changed only adding a single point of charm. However, he did gain a title, Ikeman In Training.
[Title: Ikeman In Training]
[Description: Like the Ikeman of Every Anime, The User May Use Their Handsome Face to Their Advantage.]
[Effect: The User May Charm a Target. The Ability Is Reliant on The User's Charm Stat, The Higher It Is the More Effective the Ability Becomes. This Ability Can Only Be Activated at Random.]
Reading the description, Naruto quickly shifted over to the summoning tab. Taking a deep breath, he pressed the single summon.
[Would You Like to Use 5 E-Coins to Summon a Piece of Equipment?]
[Y/N]
Similar to the first time, a card shimmered into existence before him. It's constantly changing colors spurred by until it finally stopped, revealing a gold covered card. Breath hitching at the unexpected fortune, Naruto reached for it.
[Congratulations! You Have Received a Legendary Piece of Equipment!]
[Equipment: Neo Featherman Again Fan Kit]
[Equipment Description: Unreleased Neo Featherman Again Gear, Custom Made by an Unnamed Fan of The Show. Each Piece Is Masterfully Crafted and Enchanted by Divine Magic!]
Reaching into the box, Naruto saw a bird inspired red suit similar some children show he saw at playing on some TVs and even arcade games. Exactly as the system described, the suit was extremely well made. Hard-work and passion went toward creating the helmet and suit. Other than those two things, a signed dvd set was also in the box.
[Equipment: Red Eagle's Replica Suit & Helmet]
Equipment Description: Crafted By A Fan, This Exact Replica of Red Eagle's Uniform Is Sure To Turn Heads. The Enchanted Fan-work Is Nigh Indestructible, Offering the Wearer the Legendary Capabilities of the Phoenix Ranger Featherman's Leader, Red Eagle!]
Blinking at the odd costume, Naruto stuffed it back into the box and closed it shut. It was better than nothing. With a summon done, he swiftly ate his noodles. Thankfully, they had not turned soggy yet. Masuyo's cooking hit the spot; he barely tasted the food as he scarfed it down – not realizing just how hungry he was. Opening Grayfia's Heroine page, Naruto hovered a finger over the yes/no option. Not thinking it over any longer, he accepted it – kissing his teeth at his dwindling E-Coin balance.
[Heroine Profile Updated!]
[Heroine: Grayfia Lucifuge]
[Relationship Status: A Reliable Onee-San]
[Heroine Description: Grayfia Lucifuge Is A Member of The Lucifuge Clan, One of The Extra Demon Clans. Since The Devil Civil War, She Has Served as Sirzechs Gremory's Queen as Well as The Gremory Clan's Chief Maid.]
Taking note of the information, he filed them away for tonight. Sirzechs Gremory and the Devil Civil War would be excellent topic choices of discussion with Sona.
Satisfied, Naruto shoved the box of Featherman Memorabilia into his school bag as he returned to work. The usual dinner rush was hampered by the unexpected autumn rain. Only a handful of customers plus Grayfia were present in the restaurant. Though, if news about her arrival spread, he doubted her army of admirers would let a rainstorm stop them. Speaking of the silver haired woman, Kenji's sullen staring spoke volumes of how his wooing had gone.
Loading used dishes from the small rush of customers to the industrial dishwasher, Naruto hurried in wiping tables and marrying condiments. As the flow of customers began dying, the blonde prepared to leave for the day. The news told of an evening rainstorm, not letting up until the next morning at the earliest. Noting the weather report and her nearly empty dining room, Masuyo shooed him home.
"Take this umbrella kid." Kenji had said, all but shoving an unused umbrella into his hands, "Can't have you getting sick now."
The autumn storm provided an aura of tranquility to the sparsely populated streets of Kuoh. Rain cascaded from above, cars whistled on by splashing water on any unfortunate bystanders. Bright, lampposts illuminated the streets, all combining to form a rather intimate atmosphere.
It was either confidence or fate, as he shuffled out the restaurant door – meeting Grayfia at the door, he had no doubt the system had a hand in this. One thing he knew about Grayfia was how diligent she could be. For someone who prepared for every unexpected complication, he highly doubted she would forget her umbrella.
Grayfia:
In her long life, she had rarely taken a day off. From her position as a servant of the Old Satan Faction to her current role as the Head Maid of House Gremory. Much of her life had been spent working, either for Sirzechs or the former Lucifer. Having been forced by her longtime friend to take a day off, she would visit her favorite pastime, Masyuo's. No matter when she visited, the quant restaurant offered her an escape from her hectic life. She enjoyed Sirzechs' company and friendship, but his lazy, carefree behavior did not help in tackling the massive mountain of paperwork. Running the Underworld was a challenge, especially when every one of the four Satans preferred to pursue their hobbies than ruling.
Returning to Lucifaad after the much-needed time off, Grayfia studied the castle the daily stress returning in full force. The usually immaculate castle grounds were a mess, storied sculptures and paintings had been ruined to the point a collector would have cried. The crystal chandelier which occupied the main entrance hall was left hanging dangerously close to the ground, the counterweight used to keep it afloat gone. Bodies of the other servants in various costumes littered the dirtied marble floors.
"Hahahaha!" Came the boisterous laughter of her employer.
Posing atop the costumed servant was Sirzechs himself, garbed as Satan Red. His shiny red suit glimmered against the dim backdrop. To his side, Milicas' smaller stature clapped along to his father's shenanigans. Seated by her son was the current Lady Lucifer, conversing quietly with her son.
"Do it again, dad!" Milicas cried out in encouragement.
"Of course! Satan Red is not done with his crime fighting!" Sirzechs declared, planting both hands on his hips and posing gloriously before his down foe, "Now, who shall attack our fair city now?"
"Grayfia?"
"No, Grayfia would never let us play Satan Rangers when I have paperwork to do." Sirzechs waved off the choice with a dismissive wave of his hand. Ignoring the squirming behavior of his wife and son, "How about we have Beowulf dress like the villain Michael again?"
Approaching till she stood behind the costumed Satan, Grayfia planted her hand on the Super Devil moving his helmeted face to face her, "Lord Lucifer, did you finish your paperwork for the day?"
"I..." Sirzechs froze shooting a pleading look over to his child for aid, "Grayfia there was just so much... I wanted to spend time with Milicas, he needed to have some fun after all that schoolwork."
Thankfully, or unfortunately depending on who was asked, the youngest Gremory hopped to his feet walked away with purpose – having left his father to the wrath of his Queen, "I'll be studying in my room, Aunt Grayfia!"
Watching his son march purposfully to his room, Sirzech's turned to his wife hoping his pleading look could be seen. Seeing her look at anything other than him, the Satan grumbled and began stalking off to his office, "I'll finish my paperwork now."
"Get off the ground, Beowulf." Grayfia's sharp voice snapping the Pawn off the floor and onto his feet, "Have the rest of the servants begin cleaning the castle."
"Understood!" The descendant of the legendary hero saluted, fleeing before the Queen's discipline could turn to him.
Once they were alone, Grayfia eyed the guilty looking lady of the house. Much like their childhood spats, Mara Lucifer nee Satanachia picked at her dress fearful of her longtime friend's retribution. During their shared childhood in Lucifaad, this dynamic had been set in stone. Even when they reached adulthood and escaped the civil war relatively, unscathed it endured.
"Ah, mooh~!" The raven-haired woman pouted, rushing over to hug the unamused Grayfia, "It was all Sirzechs' fault."
Eyeing her blubbering friend, Grayfia offered her a comforting pat. Though as they shared this intimate moment, the Queen leaned into the embrace and whispered, "Lady Mara, did you finish preparations for the winter ball."
"Eeep!" Mara squealed attempting to escape herself imposed confinement. Though as she tried to untangle herself from her dutiful friend's arms, the attempt was futile.
Naruto:
Glancing at the still glaring Dohnaseek, Naruto ignored the man's attempts to talk from his taped mouth. Sona had not arrived yet, allowing him some time to kill. Reaching for the DVD set of Neo Featherman Again and popped it in the player. Plopping himself against the couch and ignoring the gurgle of sounds emitted from Dohnaseek's direction.
"Okay, I'll get rid of the tape. But if you start shouting again, I will leave you dangling from the rooftop again." Naruto threatened as he forcibly ripped the tape off, taking some satisfaction in the grunt of pain, "Now, shut up and enjoy Featherman."
Motioning his jaw, the Fallen Angel held in whatever he wanted to say and turned to the television. Watching the theme song and opening credits, the first episode began in earnest, "Did you have to punch me so hard?"
"Yes," Naruto hissed from the couch, throwing the bastard a dirty look for emphasis, "You were being a dick, trying to kill me and all."
Thankfully, that shut fedora man right up. Immersing himself in the show and it's surprisingly in-depth lore, Naruto watched as the reassembled group of heroes fight against some giant robot. God, he really wished Konoha had something similar to Featherman. The spandex wearing group was without a doubt the best thing about this stupid world.
"Featherman V was so much better." Dohnaseek mumbled more to himself than Naruto.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
Scoffing at the reply, Dohnaseek twisted around in his seat, "Featherman V is simply the superior show. The love story between Feather Red and Feather Pink is the driving force behind the show's plot line. When Feather Red got injured fighting Lord Scales, we got to see Feather Pink's new wing form; without a doubt better than Neo Featherman Again's poor attempt to copy that emotionally charged episode."
"We're still on the first episode!" Naruto shouted as he rummaged around for the duct tape, "If you don't shut up I will gag you."
Before he could act on his threat, a knock echoed from the apartment door. Tossing the tape onto the couch for ease of access, Naruto stared out the peephole. Seeing Sona, he swung the door open beckoning her in.
"Is that the Fallen?" Sona asked her eyes landing on Dohnaseek after a quick glance around the sparsely decorated apartment.
"Yup, asshole won't shut up about Featherman V for some reason."
"It's the better show!" The Fallen Angel shouted back in indignation.
Ignoring Dohnaseek's outburst, Naruto and Sona occupied the couch – Featherman doing a wonderful job in drowning out the awkward silence.
"What did he tell you about devils." Sona began slowly, her eyes shifting from Naruto to Dohnaseek.
"I simply told him the truth." Dohnaseek interrupted, a cruel smirk playing on his dry lips, "About how you devils have been using humans as reincarnated servants – no better than second class citizens."
Sighing at the delicate topic, Sona gathered her thoughts. Though Naruto remained silent, the unasked question lingered, "Yes, we devils do reincarnate others into servants. Since the civil war, our population has been at a decline. To avoid dying off, Lord Beelzebub created the Evil Pieces to accommodate our relatively low fertility rate."
Nodding at the explanation, the blonde's suspicions did not waver in the slightest, "Were you planning on turning me into your servant?"
"Yes, I deemed you possessed enough potential to be a worthy member of my Peerage." She answered softly.
Massaging the temple of his nose, Naruto stared deep into Sona's eyes, "Alright, what if I refused to become your servant?"
"Then I would have erased your memories of the supernatural – for your safety, of course." She responded immediately. Knowledge of the previous administrator of Kuoh racing through her mind, "Most supernatural beings ignore normal humans. Knowledge of their existence does make you susceptible to attacks."
"Are there other devils in Kuoh?"
"No, other than Rias and our respective Peerages, no other devils live here."
"Then what about Donutsee and his little band of assholes?"
Nodding at the question, the heiress faced Dohnaseek and glared at the squirming man, "Kuoh is the territory of the Gremory and Sitru clans, Rias and I act as the administrators. Your guest and his followers are intruders, an issue that needs to be dealt with."
"Tell her what you told me." Naruto demanded.
"I was sent with three others to eliminate a potential threat to Grigori." Dohnaseek reiterated his annoyance palpable.
"Who is this threat?" Sona questioned softly.
"Some pervert, Wessei? Jessei?" Naruto mused the name slipping his mind.
"Issei Hyoudou…"
"Right, Issac Hodo."
Sighing at Naruto's carefree response, Sona glared at the Fallen, "Did Azazel give the orders himself?"
"Ask Raynare, she was the one assigned to the task – I joined her to test my strength against Hyoudou."
"Where have you been hiding out?"
Clamping his mouth at the question, Dohnaseek simply shrugged. Sona narrowed her eyes but decided to ask another time. If an unknown group of Fallen Angels infiltrated Kuoh on a high-ranking member of Grigori's orders – then she and Rias would have to address the issue before it festered into a full-blown crisis.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. I must cut our night short; I must speak with Rias." Sona apologized before disappearing in a blue light.
"Wanna watch the second episode of Featherman?"
"Only if you shut up about Featherman V, Donutsee."
Chapter End
Author's Notes: Hey guys quick update here, I have decided to add Grayfia to the story. Though I am not guaranteeing any major interaction with her until the end of the first arc, i.e the Raynare debacle. She might make some short cameos here and there but it'll be mainly Sona until I rehash the plot in the upcoming chapters. Anyways, I'm just gonna post this chapter and revise it once I get home for the holidays, hope you guys enjoy and I will try to update a chapter or two before Christmas rolls around, no promises.
Any notes are always welcome and I'm debating whether or not to throw in the character sheet at the end of the chapters as a way to keep track of everything.
