Review Responses:
Bednarcczykmiki: You can do enough.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Karen is a caring person, so she will put her life on the line/in danger to protect the people she loves. Andy mimicking Millie is adorable. Kurama IS a Marquis, a simple explosion isn't going to kill her. Damage, yes. Sex with Fuu?
StrongGuy159: Her siblings returned to their homes, I didn't make that clear.
Yami Luna Kitsune: Well, Cats DO have sensitive tongues. Tamamo does. Well, Karen didn't give them an explosive at all. It was a computer. A lot has happened, so Millie just forgot. Oh, I love Hulk and Incredible Hulk. Naruto is Jack Skellington and Andromeda is Zero the Ghost Dog.

Chapter 127: Birthday Blowout
It had been four days since the family opened the lap top.
Naruto had been thinking about it.
Everyday.
Each day only strengthened his resolve to help Karen.
But he didn't reply.
Afterall, he did promise Loona he'd wait one week before replying.
But there was also something else on his mind.
'An attack on a marquis is an attack on Lucifer.' He thought as he walked along side Fuu with Andy in a stroller. 'How can we get around that?'
Naruto racked his brain for ideas on what to do.
1: he needed to contact Karen in a few days so he can get more details.
2: he needed to get the help of the Toad Yakuza, the Slug Cartel, and the Snake Mafia.
3: he needed to kill a Marquis.
'It's the last one that poses the worst downsides.' Naruto continued to think as he, Fuu, and Andromeda arrived at a park, taking his child out of the stroller and putting her into a baby safe swing set, gently pushing her in it.
"Alright, why you so moody?" Fuu asked as she watched the father push his very happy daughter in the swing.
"That noticeable?" Naruto chuckled as he continued to push Andy, much to her delight. "Just… with all that has been revealed and asked of us… it's weighing on me, ya'know?"
"Yep, I feel that one." Fuu said as she looked outward across the park. "I am not so confident now since the fight with that frog guy, I lost miserably. I mean, I am supposed to be your comrade in arms and all that jazz, but I was like a paper tiger in a snow storm. Useless and pathetic."
"Don't beat yourself up to bad." Naruto said, lifting his shirt to show off his spear wound scar. "First major fight I had nearly killed me, I was stabbed through."
He turned to show the rest of the scarring on his back, making Fuu hiss.
"But that isn't the only thing. If we attack, we are also attacking Lucifer. There is no way around that fact…"
"Actually…" Fuu interrupted, holding her hand up, index finger to the sky. "I think there is. And it is quite simple really."
"Simple?"
"Yep. You can ask Charlie to make it where you have immunity to that ruling."
Naruto stared at Fuu.
Meanwhile, Gluttony Ring, Bee's Mansion…
"Sure, I can host the party." Bee said on the phone as she fluttered through out her mansion.
She was relaxing for the day.
As the Sin of Gluttony, Bee understood that overindulgence was not always a good thing, so she gave herself one to two days a week of rest.
Don't want to face burn out.
"Perfect, thank you, Bee." Millie thanked. "But can we keep this as a Dry Party? I mean, we are bringing Andy with us, so having her surrounded by several adults drinking can't be good for a baby to see…"
"Understood, yeah, I don't want that in her Book of Memories." Bee agreed, loving the baby so much she didn't want to scare her. "Just give me a day and I'll have everything set up. Oh! Can I make a suggestion?"
"Sure."
"Let's make it a costume Party!" Bee suggested.
Meanwhile…
"What should we get Naruto, Sir?" Moxxie asked as he and Blitz drove through the city, trying to find good gifts.
Millie was currently talking to Bee about the party, so Moxxie was going to need to buy two gifts.
Loona and Verosika, meanwhile, were off doing something to help.
"Hmm…" Blitz thought.
Really hard.
He wanted to get his son-in-law something useful but not to intrusive.
Something that showed he cared, but not be in Naruto's face.
Didn't want the stupid hound thinking he loved him.
No, Blitz couldn't have that.
"Hmmm…"
"Oh, how about…" Moxxie was interrupted when his phone went off. "It's Millie."
He answered his phone.
"Hello…"
"Mox, forget the gifts, we are going to get costumes!"
Meanwhile…
"You really think this is a good idea?" Verosika asked as she wore a store-bought nun outfit.
"Yes, I really do." Loona said, saliva pooling in her mouth.
"Okay, but why a nun?" Verosika said in confusion, tilting her head.
"So, you know how our hubby LOVES anime?" Loona inquired her wife.
"… yes?"
"Well, one of Naruto's favorite characters is named Xenovia Quarta, and she is an exorcist who works for the church…"
Meanwhile…
"You're asking me for Immunity?" Charlie asked as she and Naruto talked alone.
They were upstairs while Fuu and Andromeda were downstairs with Vaggie.
"Yes…"
"What for?" Charlie asked, quirking her eyebrow.
This was probably the strangest thing Naruto has ever asked her.
"Uh… hm…" Naruto sounded. 'I should have thought about this more. 'Hey, Charlie, I want to kill a marquis, can I get permission' isn't as easy to say…'
Charlie was concerned as Naruto was deeply thinking about it.
"Well… let's… okay… you want a half truth or the truth?" Naruto asked, his body relaxing somewhat.
"I'd prefer the truth."
"Okay, so, my family has been harassed by one of the Marquis for quite a long while now. I want it to stop, but talking isn't going to work. We need to use force." Naruto explained and continued with who it was, what they have done, and the most recent attempt being Karasuba and the explosive, but left out EVERYTHING about Karen.
The less people who know the better.
"That is troubling." Charlie said eyes wide as she went through the process of processing all this new information.
Human World…
Shikamaru sneezed…
Right into Temari's face as they went into kiss each other.
"SHIKAMARU!"
"Oh, fuck…"
Hazbin Hotel…
"So… can we get the immunity?" Naruto asked, his stomach twisting, but his mind trying to be prepared for the worst.
"I don't have that authority." Charlie replied, her eyes reflecting apologetic shine. "The Marquis is under my father's control. Yes, I am the Princess, but…"
"That doesn't give you power over them." Naruto said as he leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "They are 'Lucifer's court' after all."
Charlie nodded, metaphorically curling into herself as she felt like she disappointed him.
Naruto took a deep breath, closing his eyes tightly for several seconds before relaxing them.
"Well, it was worth a shot." Naruto replied.
"I'm sorry…"
"Don't be. It just means that when it happens my head will be deeper on the chopping block." Naruto shrugged.
Charlie felt horrible.
"Oh, by the way," Naruto said as he reached into his pocket, pulling out an invite. "Loona and Verosika wanted you to have this. I don't know what it is, but they said if I see you to give it to you."
Charlie accepted the item as Naruto left the room to go down stairs.
She opened it to see it was an invitation.
Meanwhile…
"Octavia, we got an invitation to Naruto's birthday party tomorrow!" Stolas called out to his daughter and Riser.
"Alright!" Octavia replied as she sent a message to Gaara.
Meanwhile…
Fuu felt her phone ring.
"Here." She handed Andromeda to Vaggie, getting up and dismissing herself to a side room before answering. "Hello?"
"Fuu…" A familiar voice said that made Fuu's heart race. "It's Shino…"
Fuu's eyes widened.
"I got some time off, and I want to see you." Shino said his voice slightly shaky with excitement.
"Tomorrow is Naruto's birthday… are you able to meet us in Gluttony?" Fuu replied.
Next Morning, Sloth, Belphegor's Hospital…
Karen walked out with Arnold.
The Armadillo Sinner had simple bandages around his body.
Karen had a breathing mask and an oxygen tank, a small one, in hand as she held his hand, shakily walking from nearly a week of not walking.
Karen was deep in thought.
Tamamo was still sleeping, connected to an oxygen mask that was pulling the toxic smoke from her lungs.
Karen tightened her grip on Arnold's hand.
Flashback…
"Ple…" Tamamo whispered softly, her voice raspy. "Mot… er…"
Karen sighed, a sense of defeat setting in.
"Be safe… mom…"
Flashback End…
"Okay, Karen, we're on our way home." Arnold said, bringing Karen out of her thoughts.
"Oh, okay, sorry…" She apologized, getting in the passenger side of the car. "I want to see my children… wait… who is watching them right now?"
Arnold froze.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"… WE GOT TO GET HOME, NOW!" Karen screamed, Arnold starting the engine, putting the pedal to the metal, the car screeching down the street.
Skip…
"Okay, where we going?" Naruto asked as he had been duct taped, blindfolded, and strapped into a wheelchair that was currently in a car.
"Don't worry about it." Fuu said from the driver seat.
Naruto couldn't help but hear the excitement in her voice.
"We going to an orgy?" Naruto asked.
Earlier that day, his parents and wives and child left the house early, leaving him with Fuu before she got the drop on him, leading to his current situation.
"Naruto!" Fuu snipped with a chuckle, not offended with the statement. "Don't be a gross cunt."
"Aren't all cunts gross?" Naruto sarcastically asked, laughing through the pain when Fuu hit the breaks, his face hitting the dashboard.
"Alright, asshole, we're here." Fuu said as she put the car in park.
Naruto waited patiently as Fuu wheeled him out of the car, pushing him toward the building.
Naruto's nose caught the scents of sugary sweets.
His ears heard smothered chatter.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Fuu said as she touched Naruto's head, who felt her put something in his hair.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked as Fuu pushed him into the building, feeling small amount of warmth as the autumn chill was cut off.
Fuu didn't respond.
However, Naruto heard the sounds of switches being flipped, lights being adjusted, and the heat of spot lights on him.
Small movements were through out the room.
Suddenly, the bindings and blindfold were removed, Naruto shooting out of the wheelchair.
"Ooh, nice threads." Naruto said as he took notice.
Whatever it was Fuu had put in his hair, allowed Naruto's outfit, which had been a pair of shorts and a shirt, was now a Jack Skellington costume, white makeup covering his face with paint added to make it look like he had teeth and darken his eyes.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NARUTO!" everyone shouted, the lights turning on, revealing everyone.
Millie was dressed as Lock, Moxxie was Shock and Blitz was Barrel.
Andromeda, who was in Loona's arms, was Zero the Ghost Dog.
Loona was dressed as Sally the Rag Doll as Verosika was… Sexy Oogie Boogie.
Stolas was dressed as Sabo from One Piece, loving the Steam Punk Esthetic.
Jayjay and Vortex were dressed as Ron and Hermione in their school uniforms.
Charlie was Marceline and Vaggie (Who as a Sinner needed a Day Pass bracelet) was Princess Bubblegum.
"Oh, wow!" Naruto laughed, smiling brightly as another door opened. "I actually forgot it was my birthday."
"We're not done yet." Octavia said as she and her three associates entered.
Octavia was Princess Zelda from Twilight Princess.
Riser was Ganondorf from Twilight Zelda.
"GAARA! SHINO!" Fuu and Naruto shouted.
Gaara was dressed as Link.
Shino was dressed as Gomez Addams.
Fuu, who was dressed as Morticia Addams, ran into his arms, their lips connecting. Their tears slowly rolled down their cheeks.
"I missed you…" Fuu said in a strained voice, trying to restrain herself, but her happiness was overwhelming.
"I missed you too. Look, I'll explain later, okay?" Shino asked, wanting to explain, but knowing it would be best to just enjoy the moment as Naruto and Gaara hugged.
"Never took you for a Zelda fan." Naruto said, who was a big fan of the series.
"I'm not a big one, but I like it." Gaara said as he looked over his costume. "Honestly, I'd prefer to have been Link from Skyward Sword."
Naruto rolled his eyes with a smirk.
The lights once again dimmed, the spot lights moving as a drum roll.
The lights landed on the stage, revealing Queen Bee.
She was wearing Kesha's Skeleton costume from 2011.
"~Happy Birthday to You~"
Naruto blushed as the Sin of Gluttony walked down the steps, walking sensually down the steps and approaching him.
"~Happy Birthday to You~"
She closed the distance, wrapping her arms around Naruto, making his heart pound, one hand on his lips, pressing a piece of candy into his mouth.
"~Happy Birthday Dear Naruto~"
Bee leaned in close, making Naruto blush, everyone giggling at his reaction.
"~Happy Birthday to You~"
Bee gave Naruto a peck on the cheek.
"Happy Twentieth Birthday, Naruto." Bee said before she separated from him.
'Oh, right…' Naruto thought as his wives approached him. 'I'm Twenty.'
"OOOOh, you like that?" Verosika asked, taking one of his hands.
"I bet he did." Loona giggled as she took Naruto's other hand.
"Well, you'll like what we have in store for you~" Naruto's wives said in unison, kissing his cheeks.
"Uh, you two outdid yourselves." Naruto said as Loona gave him Andromeda.
Andromeda, from listening to the music, the singing and the pretty lights, was getting very, very, very excited.
In her excitement, her tail became a snake, she grew horns, and her wings.
"AWE~"
Naruto entered his own TDF, smiling as he held Andromeda up as Blitz held up his phone to snap a picture of his grandchild.
"Sorry, we didn't get you a gift." Charlie apologized as Andromeda wanted to be held by her grandfather.
"I don't need anything, you two being here is enough… though, I got to say…" Naruto smirked as he cupped his chin. "I wouldn't imagine you two being Princess Bubble and Marceline, I mean… Vaggie is more Marceline than Charlie."
Charlie blushed as Vaggie smirked.
"I know." Vaggie cupped Charlie's butt, making Charlie turn further red. "And she's all mine."
Naruto nodded and walked off.
"Hey, digging the Harry Potter get up." Naruto said as he walked up to Jayjay and Vortex, who were sending sparks of magic through the
"Thanks, bro." Jayjay said, giving Naruto a hug. "Happy birthday."
Vortex put Naruto into a headlock, ruffling Naruto's hair.
"Ya 'little shit."
Naruto and Vortex chuckled.
"Stolas~" Naruto said in a suave voice, pulling Stolas from his daughter. "Love the One Piece cosplay."
"One Piece Cosplay?" Stolas asked, looking at his costume. "I just googled Steam Punk and this was the first thing that came up."
"Oh… never mind." Naruto said, walking over through the crowd. "MOM, DAD, BLITZ!"
"Wassup, bitch~" Blitz greeted.
"Love the Nightmare Before Christmas costumes." Naruto said, knowing his family had gone with a theme. "Also, dad, why are you Shock the Witch?"
"Because he's my bitch." Millie said as she cupped Moxxi's dick through the costume.
"MILLIE!" Moxxie shouted in embarrassment as Naruto, Millie, and Blitz laughed at Moxxie's discomfort.
"Come on, everyone, let's party!" Bee shouted as she spread her magic through out the entire room.
Various foods and drinks (No alcohol) were summoned.
Festive Autumn games were summoned as well.
Bobbing for Apples.
Face the Cookie.
Would You Rather, Halloween themed.
Pumpkin Catapult.
Pumpkin Toss Game.
Mummy Bowling.
Everyone scattered, doing their own thing, enjoying themselves.
Bee was having a delicious smorgasbord of emotional taste, making her very happy.
The day went on, and slowly, Bee set up one last event.
Lights dimmed once again as music started to play.
(Michael Jackson: Thriller)
"AW, HELL YA!" Naruto shouted as Bee took stage, dressed as Michael Jackson from the Thriller Video.
As the music progressed, Naruto, Gaara, Shino, Fuu, Riser, and Octavia got behind her, following her movements.
"~It's close to midnight
And something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed~"
Bee led everyone in synchronized dancing.
"~'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah~"
Andromeda clapped her tiny hands, laughing particularly hard when Naruto slipped, but recovered quickly enough.
"~Ooh, ooh
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time~"
Fuu locked eyes with Shino, smiling as they continued to move in union.
"~'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight~"
"WOOOOOHOOOOO!" Jayjay and Vortex howled, Andy and Loona following suit, with Andy's howl being cute and higher pitched.
"~Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life, ooh~"
Verosika, Millie, Moxxie, and Blitz clanked their sparkling cider bottles together, drinking heartily.
"~They're out to get you
There's demons closin' in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see~"
Stolas chatted with Charlie and Vaggie, the trio sitting more off to the side, letting everyone have their fun without interruption.
"~That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
Chiller, thriller here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow~"
The dancers spread out, allowing the spot lights to focus on Bee, who took the mic in hand, giving a very Chilling Performance.
"~I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell~"
Bee floated into the air, the dim lights following her perfectly as she went up to everyone, making eye contact, making Andy want to be held by the flying Sin.
"~I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, ooh baby (thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night)
Thriller, all night, oh baby
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, thriller night (oh baby)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, all night (oh baby)
Thriller night, babe (thriller night, babe), ooh~"
The dancers reconvened behind Bee.
"~The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller~"
Bee, Naruto, Gaara, Shino, Octavia, Riser, and Fuu took poses, their eyes having become yellow cat eyes as Bee gave a chilling laugh at the end.
Evening…
The sun had set.
Everyone, tired from an entire day of partying and merriment, spent the night in Bee's house in Gluttony.
Naruto was unable to sleep.
He was playing Pool all by himself, sipping what remained of the sparkling cider as he played.
Naruto's phone went off in his pocket.
Grabbing his phone, Naruto looked at the screen as he opened it.
Karen had messaged him.
"Meet me at the Twin Tails bar in Lust. Ask for PussyMama."
~K
Naruto stared at the screen.
All the feelings and excitement he had had from his friends and family celebrating his twentieth birthday melted away as Naruto remembered this.
He had made up his mind.
Naruto exited Bee's Mansion… only to walk back in.
He walked up to Millie, and gently shook her awake.
"Hm? Wha…" Millie questioned as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Mom, I need a ride to Lust."
Chapter 127, DONE!
Well, things are once again refocusing.
I had plenty of fun writing this.
Had fun coming up with the costumes for everyone.
I added Michael Jackson's Thriller because why not.
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
