Sirzech Lucifer, formerly Sirzech Gremory sighed as he finished the last of reports informing him of the workings of all Devil territories. Moving some of his red hair from his eyes, he turned to towards his wife who stood by the door waiting for him to finish. She wasn't from any of the 72 pillars and had instead been a reincarnated Devil in his mother's peerage.
She had caught his attention after she had straight up told him to go, "fuck himself" after he asked her to get him something to eat and drink. After that he would admit to be enamoured with her.
For a decade he tried everything to get her to be his wife and it was only when he has asked her as Sirzech Gremory and not Sirzech Lucifer that she accepted. Ever since then they had been together and not once had their love for one another waivered.
"You should rest Sirzech-kun." His wife, Asuna informed him. To any Devil she wasn't the prettiest or the bustiest. In fact most Devil's born of the 72 pillars would have daughters much more beautiful than his wife. But to him, she was the most beautiful thing in the world. Nothing could replace her. His world, his light in the darkness.
"Yea, you're right." Sighing tiredly once more, Sirzech rubbed his eyes tiredly before standing up. He allowed Asuna to lead him through his household towards his room.
After stripping himself of his clothing, Sirzech collapsed on the bed and pulled Asuna close to him. His nose buried in her hair and took in her scent. Vanilla, one thing he loved about her.
"Grayfia-chan returned today." Any tiredness was gone as Sirzech looked down towards her. Hope shining in his eyes.
"How was she?" Despite the feelings of lust he once held for his Queen, they were now replaced with platonic love. She was his mature and strict older sister that wanted him to do his best. Both had once tried to make a relationship work between them, but memories of a friend stopped them from making anything of it.
"Upset, disheartened, depressed. Take your pick." Sirzech leaned back and stared at the ceiling.
"She didn't find him then?" It was a rhetorical question that didn't need answering though Asuna still shook her head.
"You shouldn't get your hopes up every time Grayfia-chan goes to find him. From what you told me of Naruto, if he doesn't want to be found then he won't be found."
"I know. It's just, I need to make things right after what happened." Asuna nodded her head and kissed him on the cheek. She knew that Sirzech needed comforting. Every time Grayfia returned without Naruto, Sirzech would become saddened that his best friend and brother in all but blood was nowhere to be found.
She could still remember learning about the actions of Naruto Phenex. He was a living legend, a being of such power that even the strongest of every faction feared him.
When he had been born he had enough magical power to match a High-class Devil, something that had been unheard of. In fact, many classed it as impossible. Though that wasn't what made him feared though, no it was his flames.
Flames as black as night, flames of such heat that they reduced everything they touched to ash in mere seconds. Flames that will burn for seven days and seven nights that couldn't be put out by magical nor non-magical water. Once released, only Naruto could control them and he did with frightening ease. They called him an unstoppable force of nature. A whirlwind of chaos and destruction.
A maelstrom.
During the Biblical War he had faced Azazel in single combat and the fight had been a sight to behold. Just like Naruto's fight against Michael. It was also the same during the Civil War. Naruto along with the new Four Great Satan's. Together the original Satan's didn't stand a chance in were destroyed in a single confrontation.
Then, one day Naruto left and no one knew why. Only Lord and Lady Gremory and Phenex along with the new Four Great Satan's, Asuna and Grayfia knew the reason for it. Since then, the tension between the two families had been palpable.
"He'll come back one day. From what you said, Naruto isn't one to hold onto a grudge forever. Maybe he's already gotten over it and is trying to work up the courage to come back home." Sirzech sighed, tiredness once more plaguing him.
"I hope you're right, Asuna-chan." With that he allowed sleep to claim him, though it was anything but blissful. Memories of his friend always popping into his mind.
Sirzech wasn't the only one struggling that night. One Grayfia Lucifuge was curled up in a ball on her bed. Her eyes were puffy from crying as she stared at the picture of six individuals all stood smiling happily.
On the outside of the group was Ajuka Beelzebub, formerly Ajuka Astaroth and Falbium Asmodeus, formerly Falbium Glasya-Labolas stood with their arms crossed and a smirk on their faces. On their inside shoulder was Sirzech and Serafall Leviathan, formerly Serafall Sitri both stood smiling. Serafall had one arm wrapped around the man on her inside shoulder.
The arm belonged to handsome man with shaggy blonde hair reaching to his shoulders with shining cerulean blue eyes peeking out from his bangs. On either cheek were three whisker like marks that could possibly convince anyone that he was a Yokai. While his left arm was been held onto by Serafall, his other arm was wrapped around her shoulder and he gazed at her.
Only her.
Even now, she could make out the faint blush on her face as she smiled happily. Tracing his cheek with one finger she felt more tears begin to form.
'Naruto-kun. Please come home.' If anyone saw her like this, they would never believe that this was the Strongest Queen in the Underworld. For unlike the persona she portrayed to everyone, she was now vulnerable. Her emotions on full display.
That night, was not filled with sleep for Grayfia. It was filled with heartbreak as she remembered the memories she shared with the man she loved. The man who had suffered so much pain because of her and one foolish mistake. A mistake that haunted her to this very day.
-X- Line Break -X-
A single man sat calmly on the desert floor. His legs were crossed, his breathing steady and his hands resting on his knees. Every so often, black flames would spark to life around him. Only small embers that would scorch the ground.
The man had shaggy blonde hair that draped across his face (1) and three whisker like marks on each cheek. His current outfit consisted of only a pair of baggy black pants, while his upper body was left completely open for the world to see. All over his body were multiple scars in the shape of runes, each serving a different purpose.
A little ways behind him, a beautiful and busty young woman sat on a rock watching as the man meditated. She had thickly braided red hair and wore a risqué witch outfit (2). Beside her on the rock rested a staff and in both arms, she held a simple white robe. Behind her were two weapons, a Naginata and a Chokutō (3).
Her eyes never wavered from the toned and muscles back of the man as she watched his breathing become deeper. The boredom in her eyes slowly softening as she watched the tell-tale sign of him remembering his past. Even more so when she watched smoke drafting into the air. The embers that appeared gradually grew in size from small embers to the size of a bonfire and they kept growing.
Then the wind slowly began to pick up, sand swirling around him ominously as an unknown pressure descended down upon the nearby area. Despite herself, the red headed woman felt a small bead of sweat forming on her forehead as she struggled to keep her head upright as a result of his power. It was a truly marvellous thing to both behold and feel. The way the man's magic fermented the air, its potency and the vastness of it all.
Lightning soon came to life. It zapped from one grain of sand to the other and grew more frequent the closer it was to the epicentre of this anomaly.
By some unspoken rule, everything changed. The black flames roared to life with a vengeance and increased in intensity as a result of the winds. The man was gone completely from her view as a result of the black inferno surrounding him protectively.
Yet the woman did not shy away in fear. In fact her eyes were alight with giddiness as she watched the display of power. A blush stained her cheeks as she slowly rubbed her thighs together. Her teeth sensually nibbling on her bottom lip as she felt her body heat up in arousal.
For what seemed like days she watched as the inferno continued to grow stronger and more powerful as more and more magic was poured into it. However, it had only been a matter of moments before it died down into nothing.
Standing up, she walked towards the man who copied her action by walking towards her. Smiling up at him she held open the robe for him and he placed both arms into the sleeves and allowed her to push it over his shoulders. Then he pulled away and turned to face her.
"Thank you, Irene-chan." The now named Irene continued to smile at him and nod her head. Her eyes slowly gazing upon his Adonis like figure before returning to stare into his deep cerulean blue eyes.
"You're welcome, Naruto-sama." She bowed, but Naruto cupped her cheek before Irene could get to low. Lifting her face up he stared into her brown eyes and Irene blushed as she got the feeling he was searching deep into her soul. It still amazed her that a Devil, a being of Sin could make her feel the way she did. Her old self would have been angry and would have tried to kill the Devil.
In fact, she did.
It had been a one-sided battle that had ended in her been battered aside like a mere fly. At the time she followed through with the bet they had made, she joined his Peerage as his Bishop and since then found herself obsessed with getting him to see her the way she saw him. He did, but she could tell that most of his heart belonged to another.
Her draconic heritage would not stand for that so she had spent every moment she could with him. Yet, the part that belonged to another never became hers. Not even a tiny bit. So now, she was content for the part that she did have, but she would still try to gain more. It was in her nature to do so.
She was broken from her thoughts when she felt his lips pressed against hers. They were rough and dry from heat of both the desert and the flames he had produced, she didn't mind.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she brought him in closer and poured as much passion and love as she could into the kiss. Naruto was not idle as he cupped her posterior and brought her flush against his chest. Irene moaned as a result of his actions allowing Naruto to slip his tongue into her mouth.
She fought him off for a mere second before Irene began guiding him. Once he had completely ravaged her mouth, he allowed her to do the same before they broke apart. A string of saliva connected their lips and Irene closed her eyes to gather her wits about her.
"Y-you do this every time, Naruto-sama." She rested her forehead against his as he hummed in questioning. Slowly, Irene opened her eyes and brown met blue in an intense lust filled stare. "Leave me dazed and breathless with a kiss." He chuckled and pecked her lips lightly. Just as she was about to deepen the kiss he moved away from her embrace and walked towards the rock where the equipment lay.
It took a few moments for Irene to realise what happened and she whipped around to glare at Naruto who now stood with the Naginata strapped to his back and his blade sheathed by his side. On his face was a cocky smirk as he raised one eyebrow at her in questioning.
"Come on, Irene-chan. We don't want to keep Erza-chan and Saeko-chan waiting now do we?" Despite the fierce glare and the magic that was rising to dangerous levels he still smirked cockily at her. Huffing, Irene crossed her arms under her bust taking pleasure in the way his eyes shamelessly ogled them.
"Fine." Walking forwards she stood beside Naruto and caught her staff as it flew towards her.
Chuckling, Naruto wrapped one arm around her shoulders and tapped the ground with one foot. There was a brief flare of magic as a Teleportation circle appeared underneath them and in a flash of flames they were gone.
A few moments later Grayfia appeared and looked around the area in search of Naruto. But upon seeing no one present and the tell-tale sign of Teleportation magic in the air she knew instantly that Naruto had long since gone (4).
-X- Line Break -X-
Naruto and Irene flashed into existence on one of the buildings and looked over the town of Kanazawa. There was a few moments of silence before there were two more flashes of light. From them stepped out two beautiful young women.
The first was another redhead with brown eyes that had a voluptuous figure. Covering her figure was a purple tunic decorated with multiple flowers that revealed quite a bit of cleavage. It was held together by a dark obi (5). This was Erza Belserion, daughter of Irene and his Knight.
Next to her was Saeko Busujima his Pawn. She was a young woman with a voluptuous figure and straight purple hair pulled back into a pony tail. Her outfit consisted of black knee length boots with heels, lacy black stockings, a short skirt and a spaghetti strap, black top (6).
"Hello again, Erza-chan, Saeko-chan." Naruto greeted as he turned to face them. Saeko smiled seductively as she pressed herself up against his side. One hand trailing along his cheek.
Erza meanwhile bowed, but when she looked up she narrowed her eyes in a mix of anger and jealousy as she watched the events unfold before her very eyes. She turned to face her mother only to see her watching the two in amusement. It confused her greatly. Erza knew that her mother loved Naruto, but here she stood watching Saeko practically molest Naruto who made no effort to stop her.
"Hello Kaa-can." Erza then greeted her mother, though it was a little stiff as a result of the other two people's actions.
"Erza-chan." Said young woman felt herself been pulled into a hug and accepted it readily. This had the added effect of squishing their breasts together something which Naruto took note of.
Saeko noticed that Naruto's attention had moved from her towards the hugging mother and daughter duo, more specifically their breasts. Shaking her head in amusment she drew away and gave a small cough that got the attention of Irene and Erza.
"So mind telling us why you called us here, Naruto-kun?" Saeko asked curiously drawing a glare from Erza at the lack of proper suffix.
"Azazel got into contact with me." The three perked up at this.
"What did he want, Naruto-sama?" It was Erza this time.
"Apparently, a rogue Vampire is here and is stopping all efforts the Fallen Angels make in establish a base of operations here." He paused for a few moments allowing what he said to sink in. "Seen as though this officially Fallen Angel Territory that they won in the Biblical War you can understand why he wants them eliminated.
"I see." Irene sighed in annoyance. In her opinion, her master should return to the underworld and become the Lucifer. He was the rightful ruler due to his power and Sirzech only gained the title that was originally going to be Naruto's because he left. Thinking of her master, he now stood looking over the city. But she wasn't focused on his current posture, no she was reminiscing about the time she first saw him.
Irene growled angrily as she pushed her Dragon body to its feet. Her body was battered, bruised and bloodied as a result of the battle she was losing. Young and foolish, that's what she had been when she entered this battle. She was arrogant in her abilities, believing that her new found strength would put her on the same level as the Five Great Dragon Kings.
Now though, as she looked up on Fafnir, also known as the Gigantis Dragon.
He had utterly destroyed her. Even her ability of flight was rendered obsolete. Even her strongest attack only managed to slightly damage his scales.
"You are powerful, Irene Belserion."The Gigantis Dragon boomed. "Given enough time you may have very well surpassed me and all the other Great Dragon Kings." Irene closed her draconic eyes in preparation. She knew what was to come, Dragons were prideful creatures and would never willing allow someone to surpass them. "No hard feelings." Fafnir took a deep breath and took a deep breath. Energy gathered in its jaws and Irene braced herself. "RRRROOOOAAAARRRR!"
Minutes passed and Irene still felt nothing and so she opened one eyes and to her surprise she saw a humanoid figure stood before her. He had one arm outstretched and was splitting the beam of energy.
Slowly the beam dissipated and Irene examined as much of the mysterious figure who saved her as she could. He was tall for a human, standing at around 6'6 with spiky blonde hair that fell down to his shoulders. That was as much as she noticed until she turned to face Fafnir as he spoke.
"WHO DARES?!"Despite the palpable anger in the Gigantis Dragons voice. The figure continued to float on thin air. It shocked her that a human could do such a thing. Then her nose flexed as she smelt something from the 'human.'
'He's a Devil!'She thought in shock. Most Devil's she knew were selfish and greedy vermin that would have allowed her to be killed only to revive her once more, this time as his servant. 'Why did he save me?'That was a thought that was plaguing her mind. Something she wanted to figure out and something that made the Devil a mystery she wished to solve.
"I do. Now, I kindly ask you leave the lovely maiden alone." It wasn't a suggestion, or a choice. It was an order and it shocked Irene at the courage the Devil showed in the face of a Dragon. She knew that all supernatural beings had the potential to gain godlike strength, it was only a matter of the persons drive. Dragons were perceived as the strongest due to them been born with large amounts of power.
"You dare order me around ningen!"Fafnir slammed his tail into the ground cratering it.
"Oh I dare." Fafnir roared and his power rose to heights that Irene hadn't believed possible. Gale force winds picked up, uprooting trees and destroying everything in a five mile radius, leaving only a barren wasteland behind. Even Irene was sent skidding backwards as she dug her claws into the ground. The deep trenches she left behind were a testament to the power the Gigantis Dragon held.
'Is the gap between me and the Dragon Kings this large?' The power released from that single roar was double the amount of power she held. But she could also tell that this was but a mere fraction of the power held by the Gigantis Dragon. 'I was arrogant. Far too arrogant.' She berated herself.
"Yo." She looked up to see the Devil staring down at her. He had a kind smile on his face as he placed one hand on her snout. It was warm and gentle. "Can you move?" Irene nodded her head, but the Devil continued to smile. "Then I need you to get as far away from here as possible, ok?" Once again, Irene nodded her head and began moving her battered body away.
Even then, she kept her eyes locked onto the Devil as he turned to face Fafnir. Then she felt it, like Earth's gravity had multiplied a hundredfold, the ground shook and the temperature rose to the point she felt herself sweating. Her, a Dragon!
Fafnir in return rose his own power to match the unknown Devil's to the point it became visible. Fafnir's was a brilliant dark gold colour, the Devil's on the other hand was a midnight black that whipped around madly like flames. Once again she found herself speechless, a Devil was matching a Dragon in terms of Magical output. No, not just matching but beating. Every so often a small part of the golden aura belonging to Fafnir would be swallowed by the black flames of the Devil.
Then by some unspoken rule, the two auras disappeared revealing the entire landscape to have changed once more.
The ground that had been surrounded by the Devil's aura was scorched black and a circular chasm. However, the area that had been engulfed by Fafnir's aura was entirely molten rock. Her eyes fearfully turned to face the two beings – no monsters that were the cause of this. Both were unperturbed by what had happened and were scrutinising each other.
Irene instantly came to the decision that this was much worse than when they were expelling their magic in a show of dominance. The silence, the judgement…the silence. It was deafening. She felt like if she breathed to loud then they would turn and attack her.
Thankfully, Fafnir was the first to break the silence and not her. "So you are Naruto Phenex, the Arekurū Kuroen (Raging Black Flame). You truly are a monster, just as the rumours say."
"Oh, so you've heard of me?" The now named Naruto relaxed his posture and placed one hand on his hip. "I feel honoured." Fafnir snorted in amusment and pushed himself onto all fours. His eyes instantly becoming level with the floating Devil.
"Anyone that is of importance in this world has heard of you. The Mekai no Akuma (Demon of the Underworld), capable of wielding flames that burn hotter than the sun, capable of wiping out entire armies with but a single click of your fingers and some even say that you are evil incarnate."It was Naruto who snorted this time.
"Hardly. I only defended those I care about from harm. If people love me, then let them. If they respect me, let them. If they fear me, let them. As long as they know that I will wipe them from existence if they harm those I care about then they can think of me however they wish." Fafnir nodded his head and then his draconic eyes locked with hers and Irene felt her heart freeze.
"Despite what respect I hold for your power, step aside so I can deal with this pest."Naruto simply continued to stare at the Gigantis Dragon. "Didn't you hear me?!"
"Oh I'm sorry did you say something." Naruto smirked arrogantly as he watched Fafnir release smoke from its nose as a result of his anger rising once more. "I have selective hearing, I can't hear what arrogant assholes say."
"You're getting on my nerves Devil." Fafnir huffed. "I gained my position through constant life and death battles. I knew the consequences of facing powerful Dragons, just like Irene Belserion did. However, unlike her I won my fights and became one of the Five Great Dragon Kings. I will not allow an arrogant hatchling to take my position."
Naruto hummed as if contemplating Fafnir's words and Irene prepared herself for the imminent moment where the Devil would allow Fafnir to kill her. "So you admit she has the potential to surpass you."
"Everyone has the potential to surpass everything. The thing most lack is the drive to achieve that strength."Naruto's smirk deepened.
"Now that is fascinating." His tone was reminiscent to that of childlike wonder. "Then I definitely can't allow you to kill her." Both Dragons turned to face the Devil incredulously.
'Why? Why is he willing to go so far to save me?' Irene thought in shock. 'Why is my heart pounding so hard?'
"Y-you DARE DENY ME!"Fafnir roared in outrage and Irene flinched in fright. Her eyes turned to Naruto and saw him smiling at the angered Dragon King. "NO ONE DENIES ME! I AM A DRAGON KING AND YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BUG THAT NEEDS CRUSHING RRRROOOOAAAARRRR!" The energy beam this time was much larger and much more powerful than the previous one.
It consumed the Devil and shot straight into the sky. As Fafnir closed its mouth and the beam cut off she heard a boom and looked to the sky to see it shining brightly.
'This is the true power of a Dragon King, I was no match.'She hated being weak, she hated being powerless, but that's what she was as the Dragon King turned to her.
"With the Devil gone. I shall deal with you now."More power gathered, but then she heard something. It was but a whisper. Her eyes flickered up and saw Naruto shooting towards the ground at great speeds. In his hand was a glowing blue ball of pure magic.
"Rasengan!"The ball of energy slammed into one of the spikes on Fafnir's back. To her shock the spike became shorter and shorter until the ball was grinding against Fafnir's scales. A single, small attack had done what only her strongest attacked had been able to do. It was unbelievable.
Fafnir roared in pain and shook his body rapidly and out from the spikes shot Naruto. A confident smirk plastered on his face. Now the two were floating in the air once more.
"H-How?" Fafnir asked.
"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." Fafnir roared in anger as the Devil mocked him. With a mighty flap of his wings, the Dragon shot forwards at great speeds. However, his large size worked against him as Naruto easily outmanoeuvred him. Every time Fafnir would take a swipe with its tail or its claws, Naruto would seem to bounce off something and easily avoid the strike (7)
'He's manipulating pure magic to create a platform to bounce off.'Never had she thought of using pure magic manipulation in such a way. Unlike the rest of the supernatural world, only Dragons were capable of manipulating raw magic. From what she knew, Naruto was the only other being capable to use it outside of her species.
Her eyes then picked up on the flashes of lightning and the wind gathered around his body. 'He's also using wind magic to keep him afloat and change direction, while using lightning magic to increase his reaction time. No wonder Fafnir praised him for his strength and skill.'
Naruto dodged a swipe from Fafnir's claws before planting his foot against an invisible magic platform and pushed off to avoid the second swipe. However, Fafnir's tail swung round and Naruto crossed his arms in front of him and raised his knees up, effectively curling up in a ball to absorb the force strike.
As soon as the tail struck his guard, Naruto was flung backwards the very air itself being displaced.
Uncurling from the ball he was in, Naruto planted his foot on another magic platform and skidded on top of it. Next he manipulated the wind around him to push him forwards further slowing his flight.
However, it wasn't quick enough as Fafnir released another beam of pure magic that swallowed him whole.
"Where are you aiming?" Fafnir swung round to see Naruto stood in the air calmly.
"Your mastery over Teleportation is quite annoying."Smirking, Naruto clicked his fingers and hundreds of glowing red magic circles formed behind him and more were still forming. "Though you cannot use it continuously because it will rip you in half." Fafnir was right on that account. To use the form of teleportation that Naruto was using, it required entering the Dimensional Gap. Too much exposure to that realm will crush your body.
"You're right. But with my great healing ability I can use it much more than anyone else. Plus, I won't be using it again." With another click of his finger the thousand magic circles glowed brightly. "Baaningu Rein (Burning Rain)!" A continuous stream of fireballs shot from the magic circles and shot towards Fafnir.
To counteract this, Fafnir released a large breath of flames that swallowed the fireballs. Though a few did manage to avoid the breath attack and strike against the Gigantis Dragon and the ground around him.
All Irene saw before Naruto was engulfed in flames was him raising his hand. Then the flames were abruptly flung away from his body leaving him unscathed. Fafnir was much the same as the smoke cleared to reveal him unscathed from the attack.
"It seems my current form is nothing but a hindrance." His form glowed and slowly it shrunk and shrunk until it was the size of an above average human. Then the glow dissipated to reveal a very muscular individual with incredibly long blonde hair and glowing red draconic eyes. "It's been awhile since I have had to use this form."
This got a reaction from Naruto. Preparation.
Contrary to what many believe, the Dragon form is not the most powerful form. No, the Dragons most powerful form is the when they take their human appearance. The reason for this is the fact that all the magic and power they hold over a large area is condescended into a much smaller host. Therefore every movement would hold more power than it did before.
Naruto knew that this fight had just got a lot harder and it made his blood pump in excitement. It had been so long since he had a good fight.
Fafnir stepped forward and the ground cracked as he crouched down. Then the ground he stood on shattered as he pushed off and flew through the air towards Naruto. In response to this, Naruto jumped forwards and clenched his fists tightly by his side. Instantly flames appeared and his speed increased dramatically.
With a roar, Naruto and Fafnir thrust both fists forwards and they met in the epicentre and Irene was then blinded.
Irene was broken from her thoughts as she turned to see Naruto jump off the side of the building and into the alleyway below. As was expected of her, Irene followed after him and her daughter followed.
Saeko meanwhile, stared down at them and just like she did when she first met him. She remembered the way his very body exuded strength. It was intoxicating then and its intoxicating now.
She panted heavily, her sizeable bust lifting and falling something many men would find to be an amazing sight to behold. Fifteen in fact, and now all lay around her beaten. Some were groaning in pain as they held their faces and various other body parts. Others laid still either due to unconsciousness or because they were dead.
However, Saeko continued to grip her bokken tightly as her breathing became more erratic and deeper. She looked down at her hands and marvelled at the power she held. It was amazing. There was a mad glint in her eyes as she turned to face the sound of footsteps. She wanted to cause more pain, she wanted to break something, someone. And there was her next victim.
He was handsome, she would give him that with spiky blonde hair falling in front of his face, bright blue eyes, and a toned body hidden by a formal outfit and…whisker marks? No matter, it wouldn't save him from her new found desire to cause harm onto others.
"Ara, ara." He tilted his head to one side and regarded her and the men around her with curiosity. "How interesting." Saeko brought her bokken in front of her and gripped the handle tightly.
She didn't know what it was, who the voice belonged to. But it was screaming in her ear to run. It demanded she run from the man that was exuding power and confidence. She partly did as it asked. Saeko ran.
Straight towards the man.
Her grin widened as she felt herself growing wet at the thought of making such a man succumb to the pain that she caused him. However, before she could get close she heard the air whistle as something cut through it. Acting on pure instinct, she rolled along the ground and turned to face her attacker.
There stood a beautiful and busty woman in a black dress that hugged her curves snuggly. It had a split going down each side revealing her thighs and was low cut revealing a large amount of cleavage. In one hand was a staff.
"She sure is a nimble one isn't she, Naruto-sama?" The woman's voice was just as beautiful as her body. Saeko felt a little jealous and inadequate as she regarded the woman.
"That she is, Irene-chan." Saeko whipped around and swung her bokken round. She stopped it directly in front of Naruto's face so that his nose was practically touching the end. However, he only smiled at her. "Hello, my name is Naruto Phenex and the lovely woman other there is Irene Belserion. What is your name?"
Her answer was to step forward and swing her sword and go to strike him. Naruto didn't step back to avoid the strike and instead caught her blade in one hand. While shocked, she tried to rip it from his grasp but it didn't budge.
Seeing this she lashed out with a kick that struck the man's chest. To her shock he didn't even move and looked down at the leg resting against his chest. Then Saeko screamed and collapsed to the ground cradling her leg. She could feel the multiple bones that were out of place making her come to the conclusion that she had broken her leg.
'What the hell is he made of?!' She grit her teeth in pain. 'It felt like kicking a slab of metal!' Slowly the pain began to numb as she grew used to it. The adrenaline in her blood acting as an excellent painkiller. "W-what are you?" She managed to spit out through the pain. Pain once more shot through her when she felt her head been ragged back as a result of the redheaded woman.
"Watch how you speak to Naruto-sama, ningen." Irene growled in anger. Naruto leaned down and gently grasped the hand pulling Saeko's hair and removed it.
"Now, now. No need for unnecessary violence." He said as he moved down towards her leg. "May I?" Hesitantly, she nodded her head and he placed both hands on her leg. They were warm, almost scalding. She hissed when he pressed down on a sore part and when to strike him. He caught her fist in one hand and looked at her out of the corner of her eye. She froze in fear as his cerulean blue eyes met her own blue eyes. "Be still." He ordered and she did so instantly.
"What do you plan to do, Naruto-sama?" Irene inquired. Naruto ignored and pulled out a pawn piece. "You can't be serious Naruto-sama! She is nothing but a mad beast, undeserving of being a member of your peerage!"
"And you were once an arrogant Dragon trying to take on a Dragon King, were you not?" Irene blushed and Saeko looked between the two in confusion. Dragons, Dragon Kings, Peerage? What were they on about? "She has potential, already as a human she has fifteen low-class Fallen Angels who planned to rape her. Imagine what she could accomplish if I turned her."
Now Saeko was really lost.
"W-what the hell are you two on about?" She demanded. Her brain just couldn't keep up with the information they were sprouting. Lies of course, Fallen Angels and Dragons are nothing by myths.
"Tell me," His eyes stared deeply into hers and she flushed in embarrassment as she could see the power the power that lay throughout his body. "What would you do to gain power?"
She shivered as she seemed to disappear from the real world and appear on a small patch of earth, surrounded by black flames that roared with the desire to be set free (8). "Anything." She whispered, her voice thick with lust and desire.
"Even make a deal with the Devil?" Saeko nodded her head, unable to tear her eyes away from his own. "Then grasp my hand." She did so and felt the pawn piece rest in her hand. She could see his mouth moving, but she couldn't hear him. No, she was to fascinated as she once again found herself on that small patch of earth surrounded by black flames. This time however, some of the flames rushed towards her. She didn't know why, but she didn't shy away from them.
No, she stood there proudly and when they caressed her skin she welcomed them. Then her body was engulfed in warmth and then her vision went black.
He had given her the power she craved and she was returning that with loyalty many would be convinced was borderline obsession. Who was she kidding, Saeko was obsessed with the mystery that Naruto Phenex. She knew parts of the past he was fine telling her with and had heard rumours of the power he possessed. Other than that, she knew nothing. And she was obsessed with finding out more.
But above all else; she was obsessed with making him hers.
Saeko jumped down and landed gracefully beside the three of them. Her eyes flickered towards Erza and Irene. Naruto Phenex would be hers, even if it meant she had to share him. She didn't mind, she wasn't the jealous type.
The four of them walked onto the streets and after Saeko placed a quick illusion over the four of them, they now moved through the streets without drawing too much attention. It didn't matter how they dressed, their group was filled with four very desirable individuals and were bound to turn heads.
And that's what happened.
Each of them had varying reactions. Naruto seemed unperturbed by the attention though he did look a little annoyed as more than one man tried to get close to the females. Saeko was smiling happily though the dangerous glint in her eyes made men stay away from her in fear. Irene just ignored them, but Erza glared hatefully at any man that even thought of getting close to her.
She hated every man but her master. Most were disgusting pigs who believed themselves to be above women. They believed that they could command a woman. Well no her, only one man was allowed to tell her what to do. Only man was allowed to touch her in any way that could be deemed intimate. There was only one man she would deem worthy of being the father of any child she would have in the future. And none of them currently ogling her, was that man.
No, the man she walking about was the very same man who saved her from the clutches of slavery. The man who gave her freedom and reunited her with her mother. The man who would forever hold her heart.
Erza glared hatefully at her cell wall. Her sixteen year old body was covered in rags that did very little in hiding her womanly curves and her hands were clasped in chains that rubbed against her raw skin.
She knew what this room meant for her. This was the room many room entered and only ever left when they were broken mentally and physically. She had seen it happen many times before, when she was a young child she was naïve and unknowing of how the world worked. But now she was older she knew exactly what this world held for a young woman such as her.
'Erza-chan. I can tell that when you grow up that you will be a very beautiful woman. Men will chase you, hoping to gain your love. Then there will be those that will take you and no matter how much you beg they will not listen. I can only hope, that when that time comes that you are strong enough to protect yourself.'
Those had been the words told to her by her surrogate grandfather, Rob as he lay on his deathbed. That had been three years ago and she had failed. She wasn't strong enough and now the very thing Rob feared would happen to her, was going to happen.
Unknowing to her, tears began forming in her eyes as she heard men laughing outside the corridor.
"God, I can't wait." She heard one man say. Three, maybe four others laughed in agreement.
"Yea. The little bitch has been trying to escape ever since she was young. The boss should have just let me have my fun with her then." Another voiced.
"You have some weird fetishes man." The first man said gaining more laughter.
"Yea I know. But damn that little bitch has become sexy as fuck can't wait to see what she looks like with my cock stuffed down her throat." Fear gripped at her body as the reality truly set in. She was going to be raped. Her virginity was going to be taken by a man she didn't love.
Erza instantly began trying to free herself from her chains but stopped when she heard the door closing.
"Lookie here fellas." The first man said. He was a pig, fat, greasy, sweaty and dirty. She could smell him from here. "There's no point trying to escape ya little bitch. No one's going to hear you scream, especially not when you're gagging round my cock." He gripped the bulge in his pants to further his point.
Erza then took note of the four other men, they were naked with their erect cocks standing to attention. In fear, she pushed herself up against the wall, trying put as much distance between her and them.
It only made them laugh. "There's nowhere for you to run so you might as well accept your fate as out cumdump." One man reached down and gripped her rag and ripped it from her body revealing her nakedness to the world. The men whistled in amazement and two of them even high-fived one another.
"Damn. Your body was made to be fucked." One man went forwards and gripped the side of her head. His cock was close and would occasionally brush against her lips. "Be a good little girl and don't bite this. You won't like the results if you do." Erza closed her eyes and made sure to keep her mouth shut. "Fucking bitch." He slapped her across the face knocking her off balance. Then he gripped her hair and ragged it back. "Open your mouth so I can fuck your mouth. Or do you wanna die."
Erza cried much to the amusement of the men watching as her mouth slowly began to open. Before the man could do anything the building shook and the man in front of her collapsed on his backside.
"W-What the hell was that?!" Another man shouted.
Then they heard screams. The sound of gunfire, followed by screams and then the gunfire stopped. Men shouted, trying to give out orders only to be killed themselves.
"You three." He pointed to the three men who stood at the back. "Go and see what's going on outside." They turned to face the door fearfully before turning back to face the man before her.
"B-b-but-"
"But nothing! Get your arses out there now!" He roared and they did as he asked. Silence followed as Erza felt hope well up in her chest. Maybe, just maybe she would get out of here with everything intact. "What the fuck you looking so hopeful for." He punched her and this time she saw stars. "While those three are out there, I'm going to enjoy violating your slutty body." He put his cock at her lips and just as he was about to force himself into her mouth, they heard the sound of fighting outside the door.
There was the sound of the three men shouting and screaming followed by two sickening cracks and then silence.
"P-please. Please let me go. PLEASE!" Then the door was flung off its hinges and slammed to the ground with the final man lying on top of it. His stomach was smoking and the smell of burning flesh was clearly smelt.
Erza looked towards the door and saw the most handsome man she had ever seen walk in to the room without a care in the world. His hands were in his pockets and he looked incredibly calm. But as she looked into his eyes, she could see the anger that simmered underneath the surface. No, not anger. But rage. Pure, unadulterated rage.
"You beg for mercy. But where you going to show her any?!" He demanded as he spat on the corpse. Then he turned to face her and his gaze softened. "Close your eyes, this will be over soon." She didn't know why, but she listened to him and closed her eyes. Every so often she would flinch when she heard the two men scream and only when it went quiet did she go to open her eyes. "No. Not yet."
Again she listened to him. Erza heard the sound of chains breaking followed by her arms falling limply by her side. The lack of blood stopping her from controlling them. This was then followed by the feeling of weightlessness as she was picked up bridal style in the arms of her saviour.
He was warm, very warm. Subconsciously, Erza snuggled further into his chest to get closer to the warmth, but to also feel more of the safety and security his presence provided.
"Naruto-sama!" Erza tried to peek one eye open, but she didn't. Her mysterious saviour had told her to open them yet.
"Yes, Irene-chan?" His chest rumbled as he spoke and Erza took pleasure in finally finding out his name.
"Saeko-chan and I have killed all the vermin here." The woman named Irene informed Naruto.
"Very good, Irene-chan, Saeko-chan." He then started walking and it was then Erza realised that there were two other women and not just a single one like she had originally thought. "You can open your eyes now." Hesitantly she did so, but Erza shut them again when she was nearly blinded by the sunlight
Erza felt her body been leant to one side and then her feet brushed against the floor. Knowing what Naruto wanted, she slowly put more weight onto her feet until she was standing on her own. Once she had done that, she looked up and opened her eyes slowly until brown met blue.
"Hello Erza-chan." He smiled at her and she ducked her head to hide that blush that came across her cheek. The two women, Irene and Saeko giggled and Erza looked towards them. Both were very beautiful and it was no wonder they were with her handsome saviour, but while one had purple hair, the other had red hair. Her eyes widened in shock as she regarded the woman that looked like an older version of herself. "I feel quite left out."
"Oh hush you." Her older look alike shot back teasingly before turning back to smile at her warmly. Again she ducked her head to hide her blush.
"I-I'm sorry for ignoring you." Erza whispered in hopes that she hadn't offended the man who had saved her.
The three laughed once more. "You don't need to apologise for anything." Naruto placed his index finger under her chin and lifted her face to look at him. "Ok?" Hesitantly she nodded her head. "There's someone I'd like you to meet Erza-chan."
"W-who?" Her blush intensified as she saw the care in his eyes. The care directed at her.
"Erza-chan." The redheaded woman who looked a lot like her stepped forward. "This is your mother, Irene Belserion." Dead silence. Erza's mind shut down as she replayed what her saviour had told her over and over again. Her mother was alive. Alive! Then her mind began to come up with reasons why she had been taken into her slavery. Did her mother not love her?
Before she could think any further on the matter, she was pulled into a hug by the very same woman she was thinking of.
"Erza-chan. My dear, sweet daughter. I'm so sorry for leaving you, Kaa-chan will never leave you again." The dam burst and Erza sobbed into her mother's shoulder. She was finally with the person she wanted most in this world and she didn't care for the reason why they were separated. All that mattered was the fact her mother was here, holding her.
After that she had become his Knight and forever swore to serve him loyally in any fashion he desired. Though to her disappointment he turned down her multiple offers of sexual intercourse, but it only made her love for him grow deeper. It had taken her awhile to get over her hero worship for Naruto though – something she realised was the reason he turned down her offer for sex, it had been relieving to know that it hadn't been because she was unattractive - due to the assistance of her mother.
Now as they walked towards the centre of the village where the Vampire was said to be currently residing.
Irene was the first to stop and her nose twitched as she smelled the familiar scent of blood. Erza soon copied her and the final two stopped and turned to face the mother-daughter duo.
"Well?" Saeko placed one hand on her hip and indicated for the two take the lead. They did so and began leading them down into a small alleyway before coming to a stop at a dead-end. On all sides besides the direction they came from they were surrounded by walls. "Oh this is just great. A dead-end." Saeko snarked.
Erza whipped round and glared heatedly at Saeko, something which was returned with a condescending smirk.
"Shut your mouth, Busujima." Erza snarled. Giggling, Saeko summoned a blade into her hands. It was a piece of art and a gift that Naruto gave her. He called it Kurikara, the Demon Slaying Blade and a Holy artefact that surprisingly accepted her as its wielder despite being a Devil.
Erza matched this by returning to her original outfit, it was known as the Robe of Yūen and had also been a gift from Naruto and with a flare of her magic came the second piece of equipment that came with the robe. A Bisentō.
"Come on Belserion. Put your money when your mouth is." Saeko taunted, but before they could do anything they heard the chuckling of multiple people. Looking up the quartet saw numerous shadowy figures stood looking down at them from the building.
"Well, well. We've got ourselves a feast here." A woman said and they turned to see an elderly woman covered in wrinkles walking towards them from the direction they originally came from. She was flanked by multiple more shadowy figures. Each had fangs that glinted dangerously in the moonlight.
"Oh yea." Erza shot back. Her anger at Saeko been directed at this woman. "You and who's army." The woman clicked her fingers and with it the ground beneath the four of them gave way and they plummeted towards the ground. It was no trouble for them as Naruto manipulated the wind beneath them to slow their fall.
As soon as they touched the ground they felt the air around them shift constantly and from the darkness, two blood red eyes glowed ominously. Followed by another and another, until hundreds surrounded them on all sides.
The room was suddenly engulfed in light as the large red flame in Naruto's hand glowed brightly. Instantly, it revealed what used to be men and women that were now covered in pulsing black veins with froth spilling from the sides of the mouth as they stared at the quartet hungrily.
"Feral Vampires." Was all Irene could say before they were beset by the very beasts that surrounded them.
In response, Erza charged forward straight into their lines with Saeko hot on her tail. Despite their contrasting personalities, they worked in tandem. Covering one another's backs as they cut down Feral Vampire one after the other.
With a roar Erza swung her Bisentō in a wide horizontal arc flinging ten vampires backwards into their pile. Two more however came at her blindside only to be intercepted by Saeko who simply rushed past them. For a few moments the two stood their calmly before blood spurted from their necks as they fell to the ground with their heads landing beside their bodies.
Irene and Naruto on the other hand stood back to back as the Feral Vampires circled them warily. The fire in Naruto's hand been the main reason for their hesitation.
"Irene-chan. If you would be so kind." He waved his free hand in the Feral Vampires direction. A cruel and sadistic grin crossed Irene's beautiful features as the floor shook as her power rose.
"With pleasure." She took a deep breath and then shouted, "Daichiryūno Hoko (Earth Dragon's Roar)!" From her mouth was released a swirling tornado of Earth that collided with a large group of Feral Vampires. The ground shook once more as the enemy were flung in all directions.
Following this, Naruto tapped his foot on the ground and a large magic circle formed on the ground. Easily the size of half of the room, which was quite large considering it was nearly the size of a football pitch.
"Honoono Shirindaa (Cylinder of Heat)." A huge waves of flames shot up from the inside of the magic circle and engulfed everyone inside. All those witnessing this fight, halted what they were doing and stared at the attack in fear and awe. Saeko and Erza where the first to break out of their stupor and used the frozen state of their enemies to their advantage.
"Kansō: Tenrin no Yoroi (Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor)!" Her body was engulfed in a flash of light and when it subsided Erza was revealed in a set of armour. She was covered in plated armour over her chest and a large billowing skirt with plated armour over the top part of it. Her stomach and neck were uncovered and had large metal wings that looked to be made of individual swords coming out from her back as well as a wing like headpiece.
"Genei Mahō: Kokuangyo (Illusionary Magic: Bringer of Darkness)!" Instantly the Vampires clutched their eyes in shock as they were blinded somehow. This kept them unaware of Erza's next technique.
"Burūmenburatto (Blumenblatt)!" A large amount of swords appeared beside her and Erza shot through the ranks of the enemy, her army of swords following her. Every so often she would slash at an enemy taking him or her down, but mainly her swords killed them.
After that, it didn't take long to get rid of them with Erza and Saeko soon joined by Naruto and Irene. Now they found themselves stood in an underground area surrounded by piles of ash and dead bodies covered in slash and piercing wounds.
"Soooo, was that it?" Saeko asked as she cleaned her blade with a cloth to get rid of the blood on it.
"No." Irene answered firmly. "Vampire Covens consist of anywhere from five to ten layers of defence depending on who the Leader of the Coven is. The more important the leader is in the Vampire World, the more defences he has." Erza nodded her head as she listened intently to what her mother had to say. Naruto meanwhile, continued to stare at the roof that was secretly a trapdoor.
"Wait! I thought it was just a single Vampire not an entire Coven of Vampires that we were dealing with!" Saeko exclaimed.
Erza smirked condescendingly at Saeko. "What's wrong? You scared?" The purple haired swordsmen ground her teeth in anger and glared at Erza. Before the two could continue however, they were distracted by seeing Irene place her hand on the ground. For a few moments, no one said anything as Irene closed her eyes in concentration.
"What can you sense?" Naruto pressed for information as Irene stood to her feet.
"Five layers." Naruto clicked his tongue in annoyance, he was kind of hoping for a good work out. Seems it would be quite the opposite. "There are however, a few powerful magical signatures on the bottom level." She quickly added in hopes of appeasing her master.
"How powerful are we talking?" Erza stepped forward as she asked the question.
"Four High-class and one Ultimate-class." Hearing something creak, they turned to see a section of each wall lift up revealing a singular passage.
"It seems they want us to split up." Saeko mumbled.
Naruto cracked his neck and gave it a quick roll. "Then let's indulge their wishes. After all, we are the guests and they; the hosts." The three woman smirked as they got the hidden message, 'destroy everything and everyone.' With that, the four of them went towards a different section and entered through the small passageway before them.

(With Erza, the Northern Passageway).
She had been walking down the path for around fifteen minutes. Occasionally she would run across a body that had no doubt died in this part of the defence though they were very rare to find. Thankfully, there was some measure of light in this part of the area and so, she had been able to see where she was going.
Erza stopped when she heard footsteps quickly rushing behind her. She waited until the footsteps stopped and then continued onwards. Whatever was behind her, followed after her with very little in the ways of stealth, it was insulting. This time however she didn't stop and continued walking onwards. Just as the thing got within arm's reach, she spun round and thrust her sword forward.
Now that she got a closer look, she saw it was a Feral Vampire. Obviously this one had managed to get into this area sometime before their arrival because the quartet had made sure to kill every single one of them. Either that, or there was more beyond this.
Shrugging, she kicked the Feral Vampire off her sword and flicked the blade to one side getting the black blood off her blade. As soon as she turned round she came face to with a wolf shaped creature.
'A Werewolf?' Erza took a closer look at the creature as it studied her in turn. No, it had the head of a wolf, but the body of a rhinoceros and multiple whip like appendages that acted as tails. 'A Hybrid. Whatever it is –' she was broken from her thoughts when the creature's tails shot towards her at great speeds. Reacting on pure instinct alone, Erza jumped backwards and avoided the tails. 'That was a close one. The strength behind that is easily on par with my own.' Erza deduced as she looked at the destroyed ground as a result of the tails.
Then the tail came at her once more. This time she jumped to the side only to collide with the wall due to the narrowed passageway. Before she could do anything more, the tails hit her in the stomach one after the other and flung her backwards a good ten to fifteen yards.
Groaning, Erza pulled herself to her feet while rubbing her bruised stomach. The tails came at her for a third time and Erza rolled backwards onto her feet. However, one of the tails changed its trajectory and smacked her in the face and knocked her into the wall.
"This narrow corridor is starting to piss me off." Her body glowed as she used her Kansō Mahō (Requip Magic). Once it subsided, Erza was revealed wearing a large blue and navy coloured armour with two large shields coming from either hand. "Kansō: Kongō no Yoroi (Requip: Adamantine Armor), Kongō Shōheki (Adamantine Barrier)!" Erza placed the two shields together to form one big shield and then surrounding her body was a large translucent blue orb.
The creature's tails continued to strike at the orb, but they did nothing. Every time they collided with the blue barrier they bounced off once more. It was no surprise to Erza however, only Naruto and her mother had been able to break this barrier.
-X- Line Break -X-
(With Saeko, the Southern Passageway).
Saeko ripped her blade free from its fleshy confines in the head of a Feral Vampire before turning to the final three. With a sadistic smile plastered on her face, she shot forward and appeared on the other side of the Feral Vampires. Flicking her blade to the side she got rid of the black blood on it and like some unspoken word, the Feral Vampires fell to the ground clutching their throats.
"Mou, I was expecting a fight." She moaned in disappointment. It seems the rest of the Vampire Coven as she heard the screech of a creature and looked to see a creature charging towards her at great speeds. It had the body of a wolf, the legs of a horse and the head of rhinoceros. Its head was dipped down as its intent to skewer was well known.
Saeko tilted her head to the side in confusion. "And what are you meant to be?" Shrugging her shoulders, Saeko gripped her sword tightly before meeting the charge of the creature. As soon as it got close, she kicked off the wall to one side and did the same with the other before landing behind the creature.
Instincts saved her as she rolled forwards just in time to avoid a very thick tail that slammed into the ground where she once was.
Turning around she barely had time to react as the tail flew towards her from the smoke. Saeko swung her blade upwards in hopes of parrying the attack only for the tail to wrap around her wrist and slamming against the wall on her left and her right before back into the ground.
Once again she reacted on pure instinct as the creature burst from the smoke and Saeko quickly raised one hand. "Genei Mahō: Jigoku Kōka (Illusion Magic: Descending Hell)!" Instantly the creature came to a halt before looking upwards in fear. This allowed Saeko the necessary time to recover as she gripped her blade tightly. Blue flames instantly formed around its length. "Karura-en (Garuda Flame)!" she swung her blade and the fire launched towards the creature and it struck breaking the walls on either side of it.
Then cracks went up either side of the wall before a small section of it collapsed onto the creature.
Sighing, Saeko rested her blade on her shoulder and began walking in the other direction. However, she stopped when she heard the sound of rubble moving. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me." She turned around and saw the creature digging its feet into the ground like a bull before it's about to charge. Its eyes had also changed and had become completely black matching the scorch marks on its chest. "And it's pissed. Aaand you're talking to yourself."
-X- Line Break -X-
(With the Vampires).
The five most powerful vampires each sat on a single throne looking over the screen. Each were covered in darkness, but one could make out their forms. Two were female and the rest were male. Each of them watched transfixed as Erza and Saeko engaged the beast. Then there eyes turned to face Irene.
"Release the Enhanced." The middle one said in her distinctly feminine voice. It was delicate and angelic, but held a certain sharpness that left little room for arguments.
-X- Line Break -X-
(With Irene, Eastern Passageway).
Irene would admit to been a bit annoyed by this whole ordeal. First, she and Naruto had to leave their wonderful vacation/training trip, a trip in which she had nearly gotten the prize she so desired most in this world. Then the mission that dragged her away from said vacation/training trip turned out to be a complete lie. The Fallen Angel's spy network had either become lax over the years or Azazel purposely gave them wrong information.
While she knew Naruto and Azazel had become good friends after the Biblical war had ended, it didn't mean she trusted the Leader of the Fallen Angel. There was too much kindness, too much honesty and too many hidden meanings in the way he spoke.
There were a multitude of other reasons for her current annoyance, but they were too numerous to count. Now here she was, walking down the passageway as the light still stayed strong. Though partly in fact due to her ability in enchantments.
A howl made her turn to look down the corridor to see a pack of wolves charging towards her. No, not just any wolves, but Direwolves. It was strange really, they were said to have been wiped out centuries ago by the Church due to their Supernatural nature. It was blasphemy really. The only thing that separated a Direwolf from a normal wolf was its almost human intellect, magical hide and in some cases the ability to use telepathy. That and the fact they could grow to the height of a horse.
Gripping her staff tightly, she tapped it against the ground and then multiple tentacles of stone shot up and wrapped around the Direwolves until they were all tangled up. Irene wasn't done as she then closed her eyes and then opened them revealing them to be glowing pure white.
As soon as the Direwolves locked eyes with hers they quietened down and became docile. With another tap of her staff the tentacles receded freeing the Direwolves who all came by her side like loyal dogs.
Irene turned to face the Alpha Direwolf and for some reason she felt that she was been judged. It bowed its – no, her head and Irene smirked as she climbed onto to the female Direwolf's back. She changed her mind, she was quite enjoying this mission so far.
-X- Line Break -X-
(With Naruto, Western Passageway).
Nothing. That was all Naruto found on this corridor as he walked down at its long, winding path. Absolutely nothing. On both sides of him was high walls and there wasn't even a single speck of dust on either of them.
Shoving his hands in his pocket he released a breath and disappointment and continued down the path. Hopefully the Vampires on the other end would actually give him a fight.
A screech made his head snap up and turned to see what looked like a wave rushing towards him. Naruto narrowed his eyes to further scrutinise the wave and found that it was actually Inferi rushing towards him and piling up on top of each other to get to him. It was quite shocking in his opinion because Inferi couldn't run. They only walked, much like a zombie did. So to see them running was quite frankly a surprise.
'No matter.' Naruto raised one hand and a magic circle formed. "Namiwo Shoukyaku (Incinerating Wave)." From the magic circle a wave of flames shot forwards and engulfed the Inferi in its grasp.
Lowering his hand, Naruto allowed the technique to slowly die down and watched as a few flaming Inferi rushed towards him. They collapsed long before they reached and then Naruto continued to walk down the corridor. His disgruntled look only becoming more pronounce.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. This will be a harem story for anyone that wants to know and there will be lemons soon. I will try and get one in the next few chapters at some point. Now, for the numbers that were scattered through the chapter. The reason for them was to give further detail on things.
(1) Imagine Ichigo's hairstyle when he fought Aizen.
(2) Exactly the same as the one Irene is described wearing in the Fairy Tail world.
(3) Sasuke's blade.
(4) When Grayfia arrived, it was before she returned to the Gremory Household. So the first part was based after this part.
(5) It's Erza's Robe of Yūen.
(6) Imagine the outfit Saeko wore when she hesitated against killing the zombie children. So her school outfit minus her top.
(7) Imagine how the Shinigami, Fullbringers, Hollows and Quincy can stand on air, but Naruto is using magic to do so.
(8) Imagine the scene where the fox-like creature tries to steal Mikoto Souh's aura when he was in prison.
Also, this is Naruto's current Peerage:
King – Naruto Phenex.
Queen –?
Bishop – Irene Belserion.
Bishop –?
Knight –?
Knight – Erza Scarlet.
Rook –?
Rook – Moka Akashiya
Pawn –?
Pawn –?
Pawn –?
Pawn –?
Pawn –?
Pawn – Saeko Busujima.
Pawn –?
Pawn –?
Naruto will have fifteen additional people to the harem and no less. Some will be really powerful, but the Evil Piece system works in the way that the stronger the King the more powerful the person they can revive. Naruto has near godlike strength and so people like Irene he could revive at the time with a single piece because they were nowhere near his power. But as the story progresses, they will grow more powerful.
Also every member will be a member of Naruto's harem. So the harem stands so far as including: Irene, Erza, Saeko and Moka. You can offer people as suggestions for the harem, but the peerage has already been decided and will be introduced as time goes by.
